Lu Yunqi didn't believe it.
In his previous life, my uncle never married. Although he adopted the orphan of a comrade-in-arms, he never had any children of his own.
It's not that I don't want to, but that place was injured during a mission, how could it possibly allow a woman to get pregnant?
Lu Yunqi asked, "Are you really sure she's pregnant? Did she tell you herself?"
"Although she didn't say it, she felt nauseous whenever we brought mutton near her. She also ate sour plums and her lower abdomen was slightly swollen. These are all evidence that she is pregnant."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yunqi loosened his clenched fist.
"A protruding belly could also be due to weight gain. My uncle has a hidden illness, so he must feel indebted to her and treats her well. She's eating well, so it's normal for her to gain weight. As for nausea, it could be due to an upset stomach. It's unlikely to be pregnancy."
He doesn't believe it to his core, nor does he want to believe it.
Just thinking about it makes me feel worse than if I were killed.
That woman dared to abandon him for her brother-in-law; she should live a life of widowhood and regret it for the rest of her life. How could she have her brother-in-law's child?
"What if she really is pregnant?"
Lu Yunqi suddenly looked at Mu Hehe and said, word by word, "She couldn't possibly be pregnant. She can't, shouldn't, and shouldn't be."
"Yeah?"
Mu Hehe had a different opinion; she felt a sense of satisfaction watching him jump up and down.
"I think she's most likely pregnant. Her mother is extremely protective of her, always supporting her wherever she goes. Do you think the child in her belly might be someone else's?"
Lu Yunqi's first reaction was to refute, "Impossible. Yu Yao is not that kind of person. Even if Uncle is impotent, she would never do such a thing."
Yu Yao, being a sentimental and traditional woman, would never do something so shocking.
In his past life, he and Yu Yao never had children. She only said she wanted to adopt, but she never betrayed him.
On the contrary, he had a family outside of his own home and even adopted Mu Hehe's illegitimate child as an orphan under her name.
Mu Hehe sensed the protectiveness in his tone, and a cold smile flashed in her eyes.
"You seem to know her quite well, but unfortunately, she didn't like you and chose your uncle instead."
She leaned close to Lu Yunqi, a mocking smile on her face. "Aren't you feeling incredibly regretful right now? Regretful that you didn't marry her back then?"
These words struck at Lu Yunqi's darkest thoughts.
His face showed anger and embarrassment at being exposed. "Mu Hehe, what's wrong with you? How could I, Lu Yunqi, possibly regret it? I would rather die than regret it, I would never regret it."
The only one who should regret it is Yu Yao; she's the one who should be regretting it.
Lu Yunqi, the future richest man, the future young entrepreneur, with a bright future, immense wealth and power, how could he regret it?
A hint of contempt flashed in Mu Hehe's eyes: "It's fine if you don't admit it. I don't care what you think now, just remember, we're husband and wife. If you dare to do anything to betray me, I'll expose all the things you've done behind my back, and we'll all be finished."
"You're threatening me!" Lu Yunqi raised his hand to hit Mu Hehe.
Mu Hehe stared straight at him, "Try hitting me?"
Lu Yunqi's expression changed, but he finally lowered his hand, said, "Mu Hehe, you're a madwoman! How could I be blind enough to fall for a woman like you and give up Yu Yao?" Then he turned and left.
Mu Hehe had tears in her eyes, but her face was beaming with joy.
That's how her life will be. She's not as smart as Yu Yao, and her life isn't as good as Yu Yao's either.
Even if they loathe each other, Lu Yunqi can only rot in the mud with her for the rest of his life, never to be reborn.
Mu Hehe's eyes revealed an undisguised, ruthless hatred.
No one knows what she went through after she went to prison.
She hated Yu Yao, and even more so the Lu Yunqi family, who ruthlessly severed ties with her after learning she was in prison.
If she's not doing well, no one else should either.
She just wouldn't be as reckless as before; she learned to proceed slowly and methodically.
Thinking of this, Mu Hehe wiped away her tears, put on a flattering smile again, and went to find Su Ya.
“Mom, I have twenty yuan here, which is my wages for this month. Take it to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things. Aunt is pregnant, and you and Dad are counting on Uncle to help out. It’s only right and proper that we go and visit Grandma and Aunt.”
Su Ya was surprised that Mu Hehe would give her money on her own initiative.
Although she didn't like this daughter-in-law, Su Ya gave her a rare smile because of how sensible she was.
“Hehe is so sensible. But twenty yuan is too little. You’ve been working for so long, you should have saved at least a hundred or two. Give me another fifty yuan.”
Mu Hehe sneered inwardly. The old hag was truly insatiable. She pretended to be poor to fool Su Ya into asking for money.
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements. I'll be leaving in a bit."
Although Su Ya was unhappy that Mu Hehe only gave her twenty yuan, she and Lao Lu both earned work points and had no money, so they could only take it for now.
They're on an island, and if they want to leave in the future, they'll have to rely on Lu Ze, so they should cultivate a good relationship.
Su Ya picked up the two jin of meat she had bought from the supply and marketing cooperative that day, grabbed a can of fruit, and gritted her teeth as she went to the brigade to exchange it for an old hen.
They went to the military base after packing their things.
In the family compound, Yu Yao was unaware that Mu Hehe had persuaded Su Ya to come to the compound. At this moment, she and Wu Wanying were helping Hu Lingyu's luggage into the house.
"Mom, what is in here? Why is it moving?" Yu Yao was startled when she saw something moving inside the basket as she picked it up.
Hu Lingyu wiped her sweat and went over to help, moving the straw mats tied to the top to reveal two old hens.
These two chickens were raised by Hu Lingyu at the old house for a long time. She couldn't bear to eat them, but thinking that Yu Yao was now eating for two people and needed something nutritious, she brought them over.
I originally planned to kill and clean it before bringing it over, but the weather is hot now, and it won't keep if I kill it, so I simply tied its hands, feet, and wings and brought it over in a basket.
The basket on the back contains good stuff, and the two burlap sacks contain good stuff too.
"These are Hotan dates, walnuts, and dried plums that your sister-in-law asked a friend to send from the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps. Everyone says that the dates and walnuts there are good for pregnant women. It just so happens that your sister-in-law's good friend is a sent-down youth in the Corps there, so she asked her to get some for us."
"There's also fish maw in here. Last time, your mother-in-law said you went to many places but couldn't find good fish maw. This is what my brother Lu Ze and I found. You can eat this from early pregnancy until you finish your postpartum period."
"It must have been hard for you to come all this way alone, carrying so much stuff. It should have been mailed over."
Yu Yao felt sorry for her, having come all by boat and carrying so much stuff, which she had to watch over constantly, and even going to the toilet was inconvenient for her.
“Mother-in-law, Yu Yao is right. It has been difficult for you and father-in-law.”
Looking at the plump old hen inside, Wu Wanying helped Hu Lingyu take the chicken out while saying, "You should keep this chicken to nourish yourself and your father-in-law. Yu Yao and the others on the island raise chickens in their yard. If they want to eat them, they can kill one or exchange them with the production team."
