Yao Niang smiled bitterly:
"You're trying to make fun of me again! I haven't gotten pregnant in over five years. How could it be such a coincidence that I'm pregnant now?
"Ah, come to think of it, I really envy you. Now that you have a son and a daughter, you have hope for the future."
The two were originally sisters from the same village.
When he fled to Changliu County, he was bought by a pair of neighbors.
Since then, the relationship between the two has improved.
After all, in this foreign province, there is at least someone around her who knows where she comes from.
At first, Yao Niang was somewhat relieved.
Because both Song and Chen families have only one son, but Shen Qingshan has his parents to take care of him, and his family is a well-known family in the village, so he will definitely be well-off in the village.
However, the Song family has few members.
Song Guichen has no father or mother and no relatives to take care of him, so one can almost imagine his life in Pingyao Village.
But after these few years, Yao Niang finally understood.
A big family has its advantages, but she is an outsider, so she cannot enjoy these benefits.
The simple life of a couple like Xin Guoguo's seems to be enjoyable and enviable.
Three years ago, Song Guichen went out and did not return for a long time.
Rumors spread in the village that Song Guichen was dead and Xin Guoguo had become a widow.
Yao Niang couldn't help but feel relieved.
Even if Shen Qingshan is gone, she will always have someone to rely on.
It is not necessary for one person to raise two children.
But Yao Niang's relief gradually faded away as her belly remained still day after day and she could hear gossip from time to time.
son……
son!
She now desperately wants a son to silence those people who seem to want to kill her.
Seeing that she was arguing but had stopped moving, and even gently touched her belly, Xin Guoguo couldn't help but laugh:
"Why is this impossible? Pregnancy and childbirth are not like planting crops. You just plant the seeds and they'll grow.
"What's more, these seeds might be good or bad, and might even lead to a total loss of harvest next year!
"If you ask me, just put your mind at ease. This child depends on fate. When fate comes, the child will come naturally."
Yao Niang couldn't help but follow up on her words and ask: "What if he never comes?"
"Haha!" Xin Guoguo chuckled, "That just means we're not destined to be together!"
Her voice was neither loud nor soft, but every word was heard clearly by the family of three outside the door.
"What did she say?! How dare she curse our family! I'll tear her apart! What a shameless widow! She killed Guichen and made my family have no descendants. What a sin!"
"Erwa, don't stop me! I'll tear her slutty mouth apart today and let her know whose family is not destined to have children!"
Xin Guoguo listened to the noise outside and lowered her eyes slightly, hiding the sneer in her eyes.
When he looked at Yao Niang again, his eyes were as gentle as ever.
Yao Niang also noticed the commotion outside and heard what Old Lady Shen said.
Her tears immediately came out again.
She jumped down, pulled back the old curtain in the west room, and stared at Old Lady Zheng intently:
"Change! Change now! Your Shen family is so noble, people like us are not worthy of standing on your territory! Change! Anyone who doesn't change is a coward!"
Old Mrs. Shen was frightened by her red eyes and the pain in them.
But then she heard her words, and Mrs. Shen's face lit up:
"You said it! Erwa, did you hear that? She said it! I'll go get the clan leader and have him bear witness for you!"
Old Mrs. Shen's short legs moved very quickly.
Without waiting for Shen Qingshan to stop her, she ran out the door.
"Mom!" Shen Qingshan widened his eyes.
Watching his mother disappear quickly, he looked in disbelief at Yao Niang, who had already left the house and was standing gracefully in front of the door.
"Yao Niang, do you want to divorce me?"
Yao Niang raised her hand, wiped the tears from her face, and looked at the tall man.
A hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of her mouth:
"Chen Erwa, you don't have to act like this to me. Over the years, you've watched me being tortured by your mother, and I've seen through you.
"Divorce is exactly what you want. I, who can't lay eggs, won't hinder your Shen family from continuing the family line."
Shen Qingshan's eyes were filled with sadness and loss:
"Yao Niang, do we have to go this far? You were bought by my family. Even if we get divorced, you can't leave!"
Shen Qingshan's words made Yao Niang's delicate body tremble.
She looked up in disbelief.
It is still that honest and simple face, and it is still that gentle-looking face.
But at this moment, why do I suddenly feel so hateful?
Yao Niang covered her chest and couldn't help retching.
Shen Qingshan's eyes lit up:
"Yao Niang, are you pregnant? Can we not get divorced? You..."
Shen Qingshan wanted to step forward and hold this delicate woman in his arms as he did in the past.
But he found that the other party had raised his hand to stop him from moving forward, and even took a step back:
"Stop!"
Shen Qingshan stopped and looked at her expectantly.
But the woman who used to have gentle and even docile eyebrows now had her beautiful eyebrows furrowed.
The look in her eyes when she looked at him was no longer full of affection, but rather cold:
"Shen Qingshan, you make me sick! I'm so glad I didn't get pregnant with your child! Divorce! We must get a divorce today! As for the money your Shen family spent on me, I, Yao Niang, will return it to you!"
Xin Guoguo didn't go out.
He just listened quietly to the noise outside, in case the Shen family got anxious and hurt Yao Niang.
