Meanwhile, the group of people outside kept glancing into the house.
One of them couldn't help but speak up:
"Where are you going to sleep tonight? There are only two rooms."
Xu Cuifen counted the money she was giving as a gift, rolled her eyes, and said:
"Can my wife and I stay at your house? They can each have their own room."
The man refused to speak:
"What are you saying? My family is even worse off than yours. We have a whole bunch of kids and nowhere to sleep. My eldest daughter is already a teenager, and she still has to share a room with those little brats."
Xu Cuifen, as always, directly retorted:
"Then why are you asking so many questions? I know your house can't be moved, and neither can mine, so why ask so many questions?"
Besides, they're getting married in about ten days, so what if they sleep together?
She has no relatives here, and nowhere to stay. Why would she stay at your place instead of mine? Why are you asking so many questions?
The man fell silent instantly. Knowing that Xu Cuifen was capable of scolding an entire village without fear, the group dared not say anything more. After paying their share, they all left.
After Xu Cuifen finished preparing a large table of dishes, she knocked on the door and asked, "Zhaoye, are you still having lunch?"
Wen Zhaoye looked at the sleeping person in his arms, gently pulled his arm out from under her head, and opened the door:
"Let's eat first."
"Okay." Although Xu Cuifen said that, she found a large bowl and specially put the chicken leg, fish belly and other good dishes into the bowl, and then turned it out for Wen Jiaojiao to eat when she woke up.
Wen Zhaoye sat at the small dining table and said:
"Actually, there's no need. She's already eaten all the good food in the port city, so she probably isn't craving it. Besides, I've noticed lately that she prefers eating vegetables."
Xu Cuifen seemed to have caught some information and grinned, saying, "Her tastes have changed, so could she be pregnant?"
Surprisingly, Wen Zhaoye didn't mind her frequently announcing that she was pregnant. His smile deepened as he said:
"It should be soon."
"Alright, old man, have someone clear out the fishpond tomorrow. Keep some to sell, and use the rest to stew for our daughter every day."
The fish in the pond grow freely and wildly; in previous years, they wouldn't grow big enough to reach their full size in less than two years.
But ever since Jiaojiao left, Xu Cuifen has been cutting grass to feed them every day. A while ago, she caught a few fish, and they were all quite big.
Wen Xiaojian readily agreed:
“Okay, Zhao Ye is here too. I’ll go dig a hole later and drain some water. We can go fishing together tomorrow.”
