Chapter 140 The Babies Moved
Li Xiumei was pulled by the arm and thrown into the yard by a strong force.
"What nonsense are you spouting so early in the morning? When did I ever persecute your young mistress?" Li Xiumei scolded angrily, her arm bruised.
It must be that Su Niannian stole their family's luck.
After she married into a wealthy family and became a rich wife.
Then their family started to have bad luck.
A perfectly good breakfast shop has been turned into a roadside stall, and the money it earns is nowhere near what it used to be.
Thinking of this, she frowned and said, "Su Niannian is a real troublemaker. My family is so unlucky to have her. We raised her with all the good food and drink, and now she's become a phoenix on a branch. But she only cares about enjoying herself and won't even lend us a hand. She just watches us living in this small house while she enjoys herself in a big villa."
She had barely finished speaking when the indignation on her face hadn't yet faded.
She was slapped hard on the left cheek, and the burning pain instantly brought tears to her eyes.
Ali doesn't care about the saying that men shouldn't hit women.
He wasn't highly educated, and in his mind, anyone he didn't like wouldn't let her cause trouble in front of him.
"If you want to die, just say so. If you say another bad word about our young mistress, I'll chop off your hand."
Li Xiumei covered her swollen and painful left cheek, and then met Ali's murderous gaze.
He barely managed to swallow the insults back down his throat.
"Don't be so arrogant. This is a society governed by law. I'm going to call the police." Su Xin heard the voice and ran out of the room.
The lesson she learned from being sold to northern Myanmar last time hasn't really stuck with her, and she still acts arrogantly here without any restraint.
Ali walked to the corner with a cold smile and picked up a shovel.
With a loud bang.
They smashed the glass of that makeshift house that could only provide shelter from the wind and rain.
At the same time, it shattered the shackles that had imprisoned Su Niannian for more than ten years.
The loud cracking sound echoed through the courtyard, lingering in the ears of Li Xiumei and her daughter for a long time.
Both of them were terrified by what they saw, and the color drained from their faces instantly.
Ali pointed a shovel at them and said, "Tell me quickly, what exactly did you do to that old hen? Why did the young mistress have an allergic reaction after drinking the chicken soup?"
Li Xiumei looked at the murder weapon in his hand; her previous arrogance had vanished.
"I threw that hen away. What does Su Niannian's allergy to chicken soup have to do with me?"
Su Xin chimed in, "Yes, I saw my mom throw it at my grandma's feet with my own eyes."
Ali glanced at them and said, "The old lady couldn't bear to part with it and picked it up again. My patience is limited, so don't make me ask a second time."
As he spoke, his gaze passed over the two of them and fell upon Su Zhe, who stood motionless inside the room.
"Don't touch him!" Li Xiumei ran over and hugged Su Zhe tightly. "I'll talk, I'll talk, I bought that chicken at the market..."
Her voice trailed off as she spoke.
Ali stared at them: "And then?"
Li Xiumei held her son tightly, almost strangling Su Zhe to death.
"I originally intended to buy it from the farmer's stall that I usually go to, but a young man on the way here was selling it cheaper and kept beckoning me, so I bought it from him. However, he assured me that there was absolutely nothing wrong with the chicken."
Su Zhe couldn't help but say, "Mom, don't you know that you get what you pay for?"
Li Xiumei gave him a sharp rap on the head: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Ali immediately called Gu Yuheng to report the situation truthfully.
“Ali, take Li Xiumei to find that person. I suspect this matter is not simple, and perhaps Li Xiumei has also been used by someone.”
Li Xiumei is greedy, but she is only greedy for money.
Even if she had a hundred lives, she wouldn't dare to harm Su Niannian.
Gu Yuheng put down the phone and stood on the small balcony of his bedroom, gazing at the two persimmon trees he had planted himself in the backyard.
The seedlings are growing vigorously in the moist soil, stretching out their tender branches. Before long, they will be covered with abundant fruits.
When the first fruit ripens next year, he will personally pick it for Niannian to eat.
Just then, a soft, sweet voice came from behind.
"Aheng, what are you looking at? It's all bare outside, what's there to see?"
Gu Yuheng never imagined that he would enjoy listening to her voice so much.
To his ears, it sounded like heavenly music.
He turned around and walked to the bedside.
Then the little girl's tiny face was reflected in his eyes.
"Look how the persimmon tree has grown."
Su Niannian shifted her body, wanting to sit cross-legged, but her belly, like a small mountain, hindered her from doing so.
Gu Yuheng noticed her slightly swollen calves, sat down on the edge of the bed, and naturally began to massage them.
"Just a few days ago it was completely bare, I didn't even have a single leaf." Su Niannian wiggled her smooth toes, trying to pull her leg back.
“This is a new variety; it will bear fruit next year.” Gu Yuheng held her calf in his palm: “Don’t move; a massage will feel very comfortable.”
"Really?" Su Niannian obediently stopped moving.
"Yes, when the first persimmon grows next year, I will pick it myself and give it to the baby."
Su Niannian pouted so much her lips could hang a soy sauce bottle on them.
"Aheng, you're so biased! You only give food to the baby, and not to me."
"You little fool." Gu Yuheng raised an eyebrow, a mischievous glint in his eyes, and said, "Are you jealous?"
Su Niannian turned her head away and hugged her stomach with both hands: "No, I didn't."
Baby: Mommy, you're lying. We can all smell a strong odor of vinegar.
Gu Yuheng quietly admired Su Niannian's appearance for a while. Usually, she was extremely well-behaved, but now she was pouting slightly, as if she was silently 'declaring war' on him.
They are absolutely adorable.
With a smile in his eyes, he raised his hand and flicked Su Niannian's forehead.
He leaned close to her ear, his voice low and slightly hoarse: "Don't you know who the baby I'm talking about is?"
Su Niannian's ears were her most sensitive spot. The man's breath sprayed on her ears and neck, like a tiny electric current running through her body.
It feels tingly and numb.
She unconsciously shrank back, but a large hand pulled her around the waist.
Turning around, he met a pair of smiling eyes. The corners of his eyes were slightly upturned, giving them a hint of peach blossom eyes. It is said that peach blossom eyes are affectionate, but Gu Yuheng is rarely devoted to one person.
Her face instantly turned red, like a bright red strawberry, making one want to pick it.
The atmosphere in the room grew increasingly ambiguous.
The moment their lips touched, it was impossible to tell who made the first move.
Su Niannian was still quite inexperienced when it came to kissing. She awkwardly pressed her lips against the man's slightly cool lips, remaining still with her body stiff.
He's like a silly goose.
Gu Yuheng chuckled inwardly, causing his chest to vibrate slightly.
"My little darling will always be my baby."
He didn't give Su Niannian time to react, and launched a forceful yet gentle assault.
The next second, Su Niannian was overwhelmed by a barrage of kisses.
Her breathing gradually became erratic.
The man took her hand, his long fingers interlacing with hers, their fingers interlocking.
"Ugh!" Su Niannian suddenly let out a sound.
Gu Yuheng quickly released her, his eyes filled with tension, but his voice was extremely hoarse: "Does your body feel itchy again?"
Su Niannian shook her head, then took his large hand and placed it on her belly. Her eyes curved into crescents: "Aheng, the babies are moving."
