Chapter 121 Trading Skills for Food



Aunt Xiao happened to be there delivering cucumber soup to her daughter-in-law.

This bastard deserves to be beaten to death!

He placed the large bowl he was holding on the kang table and helped his daughter-in-law sit up.

He said to Xiao Yichen in an annoyed tone, "Get out of here. Your wife is just vomiting because she's pregnant, it's not to the point of abortion!"

"First, try to find a way to stop your wife from vomiting. If there's really no other way, then you can mention not wanting the child!"

Xiao Yichen scratched his face: "Mom, I just saw my wife was having a hard time. I heard that some people actually died from morning sickness!"

Aunt Xiao turned around and slapped Xiao Yichen: "Get lost, how many of those kinds of things are there?"

Besides, you think you're the only one who cares about Xiao Su? I don't care! Didn't I say we should think of a solution first? It's a life! Get out of here and stop giving me bad advice.

After scolding Xiao Yichen, Aunt Xiao turned around and said kindly to Su Ruobai, "Su, Mom knows you're upset, let's bear with it for now."

Many people are like this. Let's see if we can eat something else to improve the situation. If not, we'll go see a doctor and get some medicine. If all else fails, the adults are definitely the most important!

"Here, Mom made you cucumber soup. It's made with old cucumbers. Mom was worried it wouldn't be sour enough, so I added some vinegar. Smell it, it doesn't make you want to throw up, does it?"

Su Ruobai felt nauseous and uncomfortable; even when she wasn't vomiting, her stomach felt incredibly bloated.

The main problem is that I also feel dizzy and the world is spinning.

She's never suffered like this before!

Su Ruobai regretted it!

I've never heard of a pregnancy resulting in this size after marriage!

In other novels, pregnancy doesn't involve any changes; people eat and drink as usual, and aside from their bellies getting bigger, they're not described as experiencing any discomfort!

Instead, she became more beautiful and prettier?

She doesn't care if someone is pretty, but could you please stop treating her differently?

She's really having a tough time.

She now feels that she made a huge mistake by marrying Xiao Yichen for his small share of his body!

Why didn't anyone tell her before she got pregnant that being pregnant is so miserable!

She hasn't given birth yet.

Some people say that giving birth is like having one foot in the grave!

So, when Xiao Yichen said he didn't want the child...

Su Ruobai's eyes blinked repeatedly!

However, her spirits dampened when she heard what her mother-in-law said.

Yes, it's just a child after all.

Aunt Xiao was worried that Su Ruobai wouldn't like the smell of the cucumber soup.

They even placed the bowl a bit further away.

Surprisingly, Su Ruobai didn't vomit.

She even sniffed.

It smells kind of nice, and just smelling it makes my stomach feel less full.

Su Ruobai asked lazily, "Mom, what are you making?"

Seeing that Su Ruobai didn't vomit as usual, Aunt Xiao immediately smiled and said, "Cucumber soup? I specially found an old cucumber to make it. I was afraid it wouldn't be sour enough, so I added some vinegar. Why don't you try it?"

Aunt Xiao held a bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other, stirring the contents.

Then he was going to feed it directly to Su Ruobai.

Su Ruobai wasn't used to it and said directly, "Mom, I can do it myself!"

Then he took the bowl and started eating.

At first, I was still hesitant, afraid that I would feel nauseous again.

I don't know what's wrong with her child. At first, he was fine, only vomiting in the morning and still able to eat in the afternoon.

But the vomiting got worse day by day, and eventually it became difficult to eat anything.

This is strange, she actually finds the soup quite pleasant.

I first took a careful sip of the soup. It was alright, the taste was good, a bit sour, quite appetizing.

Another slice of cucumber, not bad, it's sour too, not bad.

Then he finished the soup with a sip of soup and a slice of cucumber.

Aunt Xiao was beaming with joy!

Oh my, I've finally found something my precious little darling can eat.

Xiao Yichen was smoking in the courtyard at that moment.

I'm so worried I'm about to cry.

His wife is suffering so much!

If all else fails, find a doctor and get some medicine. Don't blame him for being heartless; he can even harm his own child. It's just that his wife has suffered too much!

Just as Xiao Yichen made up his mind, a voice came in with a knock on the door.

Is anyone home?

Xiao Yichen threw the cigarette on the ground and rubbed it with his foot.

Only after confirming that the lights were off did I arrive at the main entrance.

Standing outside the door was Qian Huan, holding an aluminum lunchbox in his hand.

Xiao Yichen frowned again.

Ever since Zhou Aiguo wanted to be the godfather of his child, he found every single one of these male educated youths an eyesore.

But looking at what Qian Huan was holding, and thinking about his skills...

Xiao Yichen tried his best to keep a friendly attitude.

"Qian Zhiqing, is something the matter?"

Qian Huan hesitated for a second, noticing Xiao Yichen's unfriendly attitude.

Then he thought about how he and Sister Bai were eating and drinking when they were sent to the educated youth settlement.

He deliberately looked toward the cucumber trellis in the yard.

Then he said the complete sentence: "Um, I made some black fungus with vinegar, and I wanted to give Sister Bai a try."

Xiao Yichen's carefully maintained friendly attitude became slightly more natural after hearing these words.

Then he thought of his troublesome apprentice, Zhou Aiguo, who wanted to be the godfather of his child!

Could it be this person?

He took a closer look at Qian Huan.

His eyes were full of scrutiny.

Qian Huan's heart pounded like a drum under that gaze, and sweat beaded on his forehead.

After much deliberation, he finally revealed the purpose of his visit: "Brother-in-law, I was just thinking, my sister is pregnant, isn't she?"
