Chapter 104: Little Fubao's keen perception
Everyone in the room was unaware of anything and was chatting and laughing happily. The children in the yard didn't pay much attention to Wan Xingchang who had gone out.
After all, usually no one likes to play with Wan Xingchang, because in Wan Xingchang's eyes, Wan Quan can always see the viciousness of a wolf, so Wan Quan taught his younger brothers to stay away from this person.
After Wan Xingchang left, Wan Sansao came out to prepare lunch. Originally, in order to save food, the Wan family did not eat lunch and had it all in the afternoon together with dinner. However, there were guests coming today, and it would not be appropriate to let them go without eating lunch. After all, tomorrow was New Year's Eve, and Qiu would definitely have to rush back to the sect in the afternoon.
Wan Ersao also hurried to help. Liu also wanted to help, but was held back by Zhao.
"You sit down, I'll go, I can learn from you openly. My family members all complain that my cooking is not tasty, so I can learn from your third sister-in-law. If you are pregnant, don't go into the kitchen. There is a lot of fumes in the kitchen, don't let them suffocate you."
Liu smiled embarrassedly and said, "Sister-in-law, we country people don't have so many rules. Who doesn't run between the kitchen and the fields while pregnant? We are used to it. It doesn't matter."
Old Lady Wan also felt sorry for Liu. Although the other daughters-in-law also did farm work when they were pregnant, they did not suffer much. Even though the family was not rich, Old Lady Wan was still willing to give food to the pregnant women, so the boys of the Wan family were all born plump and white. However, Liu happened to be exiled when she was pregnant.
Old Mrs. Wan had always been worried that the baby in Liu's belly might not live long, but she didn't expect that the baby would survive safely all the way. It showed that she was blessed. So Old Mrs. Wan also wanted to let Liu recuperate more. Now it was not the busy farming season, and there was not much work to do at home. Old Mrs. Wan usually only let Liu do some handy work, such as embroidery, making some small clothes, sewing and mending, etc., and let her two sisters-in-law take care of the rest.
"Okay, since your sister-in-law wants to make progress, don't argue with her. Just sit down and talk with your sister Jing for a while. From now on, we can't talk together often."
Zhao smiled and said a few more words, then left for the kitchen.
At this moment, Xiao Fubao suddenly stood up and shouted towards the door: "Big Pot - Hug me -"
It was the first time that Old Lady Wan saw little Fubao take the initiative to let Wan Quan hold her. Usually, this girl would stay on the kang or walk leisurely on the ground like a moon surrounded by stars.
Wan Quan was having fun in the yard and didn't hear Xiao Fubao's call at all. Old Mrs. Wan quickly helped Xiao Fubao and called out, "Quan'er, come in."
"Brother, grandma seems to be calling you." Wan Wen pricked up his ears and listened, then said to Wan Quan.
Wan Quan didn't care whether it was true or not, and ran home as soon as he could.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Xiao Fubao and Old Lady Wan looking at him.
Wan Quan was sweating profusely while playing outside, and Liu quickly took out a handkerchief and handed it to Wan Quan.
"Quan'er, wipe it off quickly. You guys are crazy. You can sweat all over in such a cold day. Be careful not to catch a cold. Call them back quickly. Fourth Aunt has some delicious food. Let the brothers come back and have a rest. Eat something to fill your stomach. There will be delicious food at noon."
Wan Quan wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "Aunt Si, that thing was given by grandma to your little brother in your belly. How could you give it to us? We won't fight with the little baby for food. Aunt Si, keep it for yourself, hehe."
Fourth Aunt looked at Wan Quan strangely, "How do you know that I'm pregnant with a little brother?"
"My sister said so. If she said he is my brother, then he is my brother. We tested it when we took my sister out to play. She was very accurate. If you don't believe me, ask Wan Wen and the others."
Wan Wen also came in at this time, and just heard Wan Quan's words, and nodded quickly.
"Yes, what my sister said is very accurate. A few days ago, there was an aunt in our village who was about to give birth. We carried my sister and passed by that aunt, and my sister called her sister. As a result, the next day, the aunt really gave birth to a sister, and it seemed that her family disliked her. Is a sister not good? I think a sister is very good."
After Wan Wen finished speaking, he looked at his sister happily. What a wonderful sister this was, soft, sweet and making people want to kiss her.
When Old Lady Wan heard this, her face turned pale with fear. She quickly got off the kang and pulled Wan Quan aside, saying, "Next time you carry your sister out, don't let her talk nonsense. Do you hear me?"
Wan Quan didn't quite understand what was going on. Wasn't it good that his sister was accurate? She was more accurate than the midwife in his village back then, and that midwife made a lot of money from this.
Seeing that there was no one in the room, Old Lady Wan patted Wan Quan on the head and said, "You little bastard, what do you know? This is a matter of life and death. If people knew that your sister was right, they would come to see your sister. What if it was a girl? How many people would be killed? This is not for the good of your sister, but for the harm of your sister. Do you remember this?"
After some guidance from Old Lady Wan, Wan Quan finally understood that their village favors boys over girls, and the birth of a girl would not bring any joy to the family, not to mention that more men are needed to work at the border, so the family would definitely hope to have a useful child who can produce more land for the family in the future. If a girl is raised for a few years and then gets married, wouldn't that mean she is being raised for someone else's family?
Therefore, once the other person knows that she is pregnant with a girl, there is a high probability that she will throw up immediately.
After Wan Quan figured it out, he couldn't help but shudder. He almost hurt his sister.
If it is true that the baby was a girl because the younger sister told the other party that she really had an abortion, and if two lives were lost, then would the little Fubao become an excuse for the other party to blackmail her?
After figuring out the problem, Wan Quan quickly said, "Grandma, I understand. Don't worry, I will definitely tell my brothers to keep it a secret and this matter will not be spread to anyone."
At this moment, Qiu, who was sitting on the kang, suddenly thought of what Xiao Fubao had said when she first entered the house. Could it be that...
Qiu couldn't help but touch her flat belly, but she quickly denied it. It's impossible, right?
It was only her first time, and besides, they were just in the heat of the moment, Wang Jiawei was injured, and they were done very quickly, so the chances of her getting pregnant are not high, right?
But she had a faint hope in her heart. What if it was true? No matter what, she still had to be cautious. No wonder her godmother reminded her to go back and see a doctor. Could this be what she meant?
The more Qiu thought about it, the more uneasy she became. If she was really carrying a boy in her belly, wouldn't her position in the sect be secure?
Little Fubao has already stretched out his little hands asking Wanquan to hold him.
"Big pot, hug, Fubao wants the door."
It was the first time that little Fubao spoke such a complete sentence. Grandma Wan was so surprised that she quickly picked up little Fubao and kissed him on the face again and again with joy.
"Sister, where do you want to go? Big brother will take you there."
Wan Quan took little Fubao from Old Lady Wan and was extremely happy. This was the first time that his sister took the initiative to ask him for a hug. Even Wan Wen didn't have this treatment.
Little Fubao pointed outside the door and was about to run out.
Old Mrs. Wan quickly took a small cloak and covered little Fubao with it, and put a hat on her. Only then did she feel at ease to let Wan Quan take her out.
"Okay, take your sister out for a walk and come back quickly. Lunch will be ready soon. Don't miss it. And remember, don't let your sister talk nonsense."
Old Mrs. Wan said something meaningful, and Wan Quan quickly nodded in agreement.
Wan Quan was holding little Fubao in his arms. The other kids behind him stopped playing and followed Wan Quan out of the yard.
Although the New Year is approaching, the village is not lively at all. It's all because of poverty. Many children stay indoors and don't go out, so they can save money on cotton clothes.
"Sister, where do you want to go? The brothers will take you there."
Xiao Fubao pointed in a direction, which happened to be the end of the village.
"Sister, are you going to play with Ergou's sister?"
Xiao Fubao nodded, because Ergou and Wanquan were good friends and they often played together. Eventually, Ergou's sister also started playing with Xiao Fubao.
"Then we can only play for a while and then come back to eat, okay?"
Little Fubao nodded quickly, put his arms around Wan Quan's neck and nestled in Wan Quan's body.
Wan Quan carried Xiao Fubao in his arms as he walked towards the end of the village. On the way, he had to pass by a collapsed house. This house was collapsed by the heavy snow a while ago, and all five people in the house were crushed to death. Everyone said that this place was haunted, so they usually walked around it.
Wan Quan was somewhat reluctant and wanted to go around with Xiao Fubao in his arms, but Xiao Fubao disagreed and insisted on going through here.
There was no other way but to obey my sister. After all, they had many brothers and there was nothing to be afraid of.
But just as Wan Quan took a step, he heard a voice coming from behind the dilapidated house.
"Brother Maisui, did you bring the things?"
"I brought it. What do you want it for?"
Wan Quan and his brothers were all stunned. Wasn't that Wan Xingchang's voice? When did he run out?
