As time passed, Su Yue and the others waited to see if Gao Qiang would suddenly realize that Yang Yimiao and the others had not gone to the Great Northern Wilderness as he had said, and then come knocking on their door to demand an explanation.
They waited for several days in a row, and even made a special phone call to Shuiwen Village to inquire in detail whether any suspicious persons had approached Yang Yimiao and his group.
After learning that there was nothing unusual, Su Yue and the others were finally relieved.
This matter has finally come to an end, but Su Yue has begun to worry about Fu Shen again.
He has been on this mission for almost three months, but has yet to return.
Looking at her increasingly protruding belly, and with the Mid-Autumn Festival fast approaching, Su Yue anxiously called Yang Guohua to ask if Fu Shen had returned yet, only to learn that he had not.
Left with no other choice, Su Yue had to give up and continue to wait anxiously in the North City.
Wang Jingyi and Grandma Yang thoughtfully suggested that Su Yue stay in Beicheng to give birth to the child before returning, regardless of whether Fu Shen comes back or not.
They patiently explained that the conditions in Beicheng were very convenient in all aspects, and that if they returned to the army, many things would become extremely inconvenient.
Su Yue would have to go to the town's clinic or the county hospital to give birth.
Grandma Yang was a knowledgeable person who knew that women could not be careless about hygiene when giving birth.
Moreover, after giving birth, she had to return to the military base to recuperate, and the journey was extremely inconvenient due to the rugged and steep roads, which was particularly disadvantageous for Su Yue, who was already very weak after giving birth.
If she chose to travel by boat, the entire river would be windy and damp, which would be extremely detrimental to Su Yue's recovery after giving birth.
Su Yue listened attentively to what Wang Jingyi and Grandma Yang had to say, her brows furrowed as she fell into deep thought.
Staying in Beicheng was indeed a good choice, but she always had some lingering concerns.
Su Yue's eyes showed a hint of worry as she said softly, "My second sister-in-law's hometown has a saying, I wonder if Grandma, Godmother, you have the same one here."
Wang Jingyi and Grandma Yang exchanged a glance and asked curiously, "What's the saying?"
Su Yue pursed her lips slightly and said slowly, "Married women can't stay in the same room as their husbands when they return to their parents' home. It seems that people in their village are quite particular about this. It's even more inappropriate for me to give birth and have my postpartum period here. So I'm thinking of renting a house outside so that when Fu Shen comes, he'll have a place to stay."
Grandma Yang waved her hand dismissively and said, "It's no big deal. She can just stay home and rest after childbirth. If Fu Shen comes, he can stay in Yi Miao Yi Jing's room."
Wang Jingyi also held Su Yue's hand with concern, "Yueyue, you call me godmother, this is your home. If you move out, wouldn't I feel like I'm not a good godmother at all, and I can't help you with anything?"
Looking into Wang Jingyi's sincere eyes and then at Grandma Yang's kind face, Su Yue said, "I'll stay here, as long as you and Grandma don't mind."
Grandpa Yang, who had been quietly listening to the three of them talk, smiled kindly and said, "If you don't mind, you can stay here. It's too much trouble to move around. It's not like we don't have any spare rooms at home."
And so, everyone reached an agreement: Su Yue decided to stay in Beicheng to give birth.
After that, every day after breakfast and lunch, Su Yue would go to visit her neighbors with Grandma Yang because it was too hot to go to the park.
As time went on, many people learned that Su Yue was Wang Jingyi's goddaughter.
Previously, everyone mistakenly thought she was the wife of some soldier, assuming that the young couple had a fight and that she had followed Wang Jingyi to Beicheng out of spite.
When Su Yue had just arrived in Beicheng a month ago, her belly wasn't very noticeable, and it was impossible to tell that she was pregnant.
But as time went by, her belly grew bigger, and everyone's original guesses were proven wrong.
Looking at her belly, everyone felt that she didn't look like she was newly pregnant, but rather that she was already several months pregnant.
Although everyone was full of curiosity and wanted to know what the relationship was between Su Yue and Grandpa Yang's family, they were too embarrassed to ask directly, fearing that if they did, the news would be spread into some outrageous version by others.
After Grandma Yang patiently explained, everyone finally understood that Su Yue had no family home, her husband's family lived far away, and they had too much farm work to do to come and take care of her.
Her husband is a soldier who is on a mission and has not yet returned, so she simply stayed in Beicheng and will go back after giving birth.
One afternoon, after a light drizzle, the house was stuffy and hot, but a cool breeze was blowing outside.
As usual, Su Yue prepared to go for a stroll in the park with Grandma Yang.
