Chapter 73 Let's go! Take me to vent my anger!
Su Xu was stunned. Another one? How much suffering would his wife have to endure? Su Xu felt even more distressed, but seeing Nian Nian's beaming face, he forced a smile.
Those who previously said Su Xu was no good, step forward! Liu Nian planned to give these people a good talking-to.
The weather is nice today. Although it's summer, there's a slight cool breeze in the evening.
"Sister-in-law, take me for a stroll around General Village." Liu Nian stood up, holding her stomach.
“Okay!” Zhang Suzhen immediately knew what Liu Nian wanted to do, so she quickly put down her work and followed Liu Nian out the door.
Holding candied dates in one hand and supporting her waist with the other, Liu Nian walked slowly along the main road of Jiangjuntun.
"How many months pregnant are you?" someone passing by asked, staring at Liu Nian's belly. "Your belly looks like you're several months along."
But Liu Nian hasn't been married for that long, has she?
Knowing what they wanted to say, Zhang Suzhen immediately said, "My sister is pregnant with triplets! Of course her belly is big."
"Triplets? My goodness, no one in our village has ever had triplets before!"
"You've saved yourself trouble by making three at once. Su Xu is quite capable!"
When everyone teased Liu Nian, she just laughed it off. Although she knew that the triplets were not solely Su Xu's doing, she just found it pleasing to the ear.
She felt sorry for her man who had been criticized for so long, but now that he had finally triumphed and was being praised like this, she was happy!
Liu Nian popped a sour jujube into her mouth, held it there, and said wistfully, "Sigh, what can I do? He's my man, of course he'll do it."
Zhang Suzhen followed Liu Nian, and the two headed straight for Aunt Cui's house.
Almost every house had a large stone in front of it, so Liu Nian sat down in front of Aunt Cui's house and chatted with Zhang Suzhen face to face.
"Girl, does Aunt Cui know that you're pregnant with triplets?"
Zhang Suzhen raised her voice, "Aunt Cui cared so much about you before, always saying that Su Xu wasn't good enough, afraid that you would be left a widow. Now that you have good news, don't forget to tell Aunt Cui."
Liu Nian nodded and said, "Here I am."
“Some people just love gossiping about everyone, they can make a fuss over nothing, they never learn their lesson.” Zhang Suzhen glanced through the fence.
Aunt Cui stood there with a grim expression, also shocked.
Is Liu Nian pregnant with triplets? Twins are rare enough, let alone triplets.
"Aunt Cui, don't forget to prepare a red envelope when my baby turns one month old." Liu Nian popped another jujube into her mouth, her cheeks puffing out like a little squirrel.
Aunt Cui smiled awkwardly, "Ah, okay, okay."
After exchanging a glance with Zhang Suzhen, Zhang Suzhen quickly asked, "Aunt Cui, where's your son? Hasn't he come out yet?"
"What? He went to another city!" Aunt Cui argued in a low voice.
Aunt Cui stood inside the fence, too afraid to go out, listening to the snickers of the people.
"Saying he's going to another city? That's a joke! His son is a good-for-nothing who does nothing but cheat and swindle!"
"Still trying to cover it up, as if no one knows what kind of person your son is."
...
The constant ridicule made Aunt Cui increasingly embarrassed, and she hurriedly said, "You're talking nonsense!" before rushing into the house.
She didn't dare go out of the house. Hearing everyone's envy of Liu Nian, she trembled with anger. How come she always had such good fortune? Even when others give birth, they have to have one child at a time, but she had three at once, saving her so much trouble.
Her son is a disappointment too! He embarrassed her, and Aunt Cui was so angry that she collapsed on the kang (a heated brick bed), and was said to have been sick for several days.
Liu Nian smiled. So, others can talk about her every day? But she can't talk about others?
She wanted to stand up for Su Xu and let everyone know that Su Xu not only got her pregnant, but three times.
