"What?" Someone quickly leaned over and gathered together to whisper.
"I heard that the girl from the Nie family is... pregnant."
"No way! I can't tell!"
“Some people don’t show it.”
"Whose?"
"She said she was the boss of the Yan family."
"What? Boss Yan, that's impossible!"
"Boss Yan had such a heavy workload before, how could he have had time for that? I'm afraid it's... some man he doesn't recognize, and wants to make the Yan family suffer in silence."
"With Mo Zhiqing here, Boss Yan will suffer."
"The Nie family might be shooting themselves in the foot."
"With such a reputation, no one will dare to come and marry you in the future."
"Don't spread the word around."
"Don't worry! No, no."

The chat continued and rumors began to spread.
It was not until the evening light fell on the threshing ground that the members of the cooperative gathered the grain into a pile with rakes, and the militiamen began to sit or stand guard beside the grain pile.
Tian Xiaomei, who was waiting for an opportunity, held the note tightly and secretly stuffed a sealed envelope into the crack of the door when passing by the old carpenter's yard.
Li Jianxing, who was following her, took out the letter and quickly hid in the woods after she hurried away.
After opening the envelope and reading the contents in the evening light, Li Jianxing was so excited that he tore the letter into pieces and dug a shallow hole to bury them.
After dinner, brushing her teeth and washing her face, little Yan Mingxue looked at her older brother who walked into the bedroom, feeling very confused.
"Brother, what are you doing in here? Aren't you supposed to be sleeping with your sister-in-law?"
Yan Mingli stared in amazement. His sister knew a little too much.
He wanted to say something, but Yan Mingxue continued, "Brother, we've gained weight, and it's too cramped for three people to sleep. You should go sleep with your sister-in-law!"
Although he hadn't thought about coming in to sleep, he still ruffled her hair in annoyance when she said that, "Don't think too much, kid, go to sleep."
"Brother, when can I become an aunt?" Yan Mingxue asked seriously as she climbed onto the bed.
If I have a sister-in-law, can I have nephews and nieces? Can she become an aunt?
"Shut up! Go to sleep!" If she continued talking, Yan Mingli would be in trouble. He blew out the candle and closed the door gently.
"Brother Li, have Chengcheng and the others gone to bed?" Mo Yutong, who was sitting on the edge of the bed folding clothes, looked up at him and asked.
"Wife, they are all asleep." He hugged her, put his head on her shoulder, and looked at her sideways with joy in his eyes.
"So?" She looked back and smiled.
"When do we go to bed?"
"Have you washed the clothes?"
"I washed it."
"Did you drink the malted milk?"
"not yet."
"Drink it and come in."
"Wife, I'll be there right away." He let her go and strode towards the kitchen next door.
Mo Yutong lowered the mosquito net, chuckled, and crawled into the quilt, turning sideways with his back to the edge of the bed.
After a while, the door was closed, and then the candle was blown out. The moment the quilt was lifted, she fell into a warm embrace.
"Wife, let me rub you again." He hugged her tightly, rubbing his palms on her lower abdomen.
She closed her eyes and leaned against him, slowly falling asleep. In her dream was her boy.
