The news of Lin Qingyu's pregnancy quickly spread to everyone involved.
For example, Li Xiuhua and her friend in the county town, relatives and friends in Lihua Village, Lin Weidong in the southwest, and Zhao Xiaobao in the suburban school.
There's also Wu Lili who lives across the street, and Feng Chao who goes to university here.
Anyway, those who should know already know, and those who shouldn't know have also found out and obtained reliable information.
Lin Qingyu was very careful during this pregnancy, but Gu Shi was even more careful, and they went to the best hospital in the city again.
A comprehensive examination was conducted, and the results showed that both the adult and the child were fine.
Lin Qingyu's anxiety finally subsided, and her morning sickness was no longer so severe.
I used to love sour food, but suddenly I can't eat sour food anymore, and I now love sweet and spicy food.
This really worried Gu Shi. Spicy food was fine, as Lin Qingyu had always loved it and it didn't seem to have any effect on her now.
This is the sweet one. The doctor told me I can't eat too many sweets.
Even Zhao Xiaobao—no, Zhao Xiaobao has now changed his name to Gu Xichao.
He also told Gu Shi not to eat too many sweets and to control Lin Qingyu's diet.
Otherwise, she will suffer a lot later on. If the baby gets too fat, she will suffer during childbirth.
As soon as someone said that Lin Qingyu was being treated badly, Gu Shi took it very seriously and kept a close eye on her.
Restaurants don't let her go to many places, and if she does go, someone is watching her.
Lin Qingyu sometimes really craves sweets, so she secretly hides her money to buy ice cream, which infuriates Gu Shi.
After finally getting Lin Qingyu to agree, Lin Qingyu's attitude was one of "I was wrong, I'll eat it again next time."
As the weather gradually warmed up, Gu Shi simply asked the restaurant's chef to research some cold drinks that were healthy and not too sweet.
The mung bean shaved ice was a great success; not only did Lin Qingyu love it, but it also sold very well in the store.
They needed to make a lot of ice every day, so they simply hired two more people to sell it.
That day, Lin Qingyu wanted to drink mung bean soup again, so Gu Shi took her to sit in the small backyard and enjoy the cool shade under the grapevines.
Gu Shi sat to the side, checking the factory's accounts himself.
The scene was peaceful until, unexpectedly, a loud bang came from outside.
Startled, Lin Qingyu dropped the bowl in her hand and spilled soup all over her clothes.
Gu Shi put down what he was holding, picked up a towel, and got up to wipe Lin Qingyu's face.
"It's alright, it's alright. I'll go out and check if any other places are wet."
Lin Qingyu pulled Gu Shi's arm and stood up. She bent down to look at herself and said, "It's okay. Go outside and take a look. I'll tidy up here."
"Don't move, I'll get someone to clean up. You can fix your clothes and go home later."
After making the arrangements, Gu Shi lifted the curtain and went to the main hall.
As soon as she went outside, she saw several shirtless, burly men there, who had already overturned a table. Zhou Jiahui was about to head to the backyard.
"What happened?"
When Zhou Jiahui saw Gu Shi come out, she nervously recounted what had just happened.
It turns out that these people first made an excuse to drink mung bean shaved ice, but after it was made, they said they didn't want it anymore and wanted mung bean soup instead.
The waiter served them very politely, and just then someone bought a shaved ice, so they sold the freshly made one to that person.
As soon as they took a bite, the group started clamoring for mung bean shaved ice, specifically the same kind they had just had.
The waiter said to redo it, and the group started making a scene without any warning, even flipping the table.
Before Gu Shi could walk over, a burly man leading the group approached, one hand on his hip and the other pointing at Gu Shi, saying, "Are you the owner of this shop?"
This person has an arm covered in tattoos, the kind that are quite frightening to look at.
But the next second, the man was lying on the ground yelling, "Ouch! Holy crap!"
Gu Shi was in his prime, and Lin Qingyu had just been frightened. If he didn't vent his anger, he wouldn't be Gu Shi.
No wonder he wouldn't let Lin Qingyu out; he's never let Lin Qingyu see him like this before.
There were five troublemakers in total. When they saw that their leader had been beaten, they rushed over to help.
Gu Shi first dodged to the left, avoiding the punch thrown by the fat man opposite him, and then used a grappling technique to knock down the person who was trying to sneak up on him.
One of the thinner ones rushed over and hugged Gu Shi's waist, while the tall one took the opportunity to punch Gu Shi in the chest.
Gu Shi took the punch head-on, then seized the opportunity to slam the person on top of him onto the table.
The sharp edge of the table hit him on the back, probably breaking his ribs. He immediately let go in pain.
Seeing that things were not going well, the taller man picked up a stool again and launched a sneak attack on Gu Shi.
The long bench was smashed to pieces, splinters flying everywhere. Then, the tall man was knocked unconscious by Gu Shi smashing him with half a bench.
The fat man who was still standing was dumbfounded. Before Gu Shi could make a move, he lay down on the ground, shouting, "Don't hit me! Don't hit me! We were all acting under orders! Boss, don't hit me!"
After waiting for a long time without any movement, he looked up and saw Gu Shi looking at him with disdain, uttering two words: "Coward!"
The customers who hadn't yet left immediately erupted in cheers.
Gu Shi acted recklessly for once, and although he was hit twice, all five of them fell down.
He lay on the ground, groaning and crying out incessantly.
The onlookers were all excited. These guys were some of the more notorious thugs in the area, always causing trouble in other people's shops.
Lin Qingyu's restaurant had never been bothered before, yet these people still dared to come here.
Not long after, the people involved were taken away.
Of course, Gu Shi was not among them.
Lin Qingyu has not been able to come out. Gu Shi instructed that no matter what, Lin Qingyu must not be allowed to leave the backyard.
She was so anxious that Zhou Jiahui didn't dare let her pass, so she sat down on the ground and hugged her leg.
Gu Shi gave the order: if Lin Qingyu took even one step outside, she would be out of a job.
Fearing that Lin Qingyu might fall, yet unable to let her go out, Zhou Jiahui had no choice but to do this.
"Don't worry, boss. He'll definitely handle things. Let's not go out and cause him trouble!"
Lin Qingyu was both anxious and exasperated, and could only stand frozen in place.
After all the noise outside subsided, Gu Shi walked in.
He had some abrasions on his face, and his knuckles were also scraped.
Lin Qingyu remained silent, staring intently at Gu Shi.
Zhou Jiahui sensed something was wrong and secretly slipped away, leaving the backyard to the two big shots.
Gu Shi felt embarrassed by the stares, and after the passion subsided, he realized he shouldn't have acted that way.
There were clearly many more civilized ways to solve the problem, but he chose the one he shouldn't have used.
"Do you know where you went wrong?"
"I shouldn't have fought, and I shouldn't have let Jia Hui stop you."
Gu Shi cautiously admitted his mistake. Standing at 1.85 meters tall, he lowered his head and apologized like a child.
"Hmph! Those people deserved to be beaten, but why didn't you ask someone to help you?"
"ah?"
