"Run-jie, you...you didn't go to a place where you keep your money to borrow some, did you?" Wang Yaozong suddenly asked, his expression changing drastically.
His father initially lost all his money, then borrowed money from lenders to gamble. He kept borrowing and borrowing until he accumulated more and more debt, which led him to gamble even more, eventually ruining his family.
Mu Run smiled and said, "No." Then he looked at Yao Yao.
Suddenly struck by a sudden inspiration, Yao Yao opened her bright, round almond-shaped eyes wide and asked, "Did you sell the pearl necklace, sister?"
Mu Run nodded. "That's right."
"What pearl necklace?" Wang Yaozong had no idea.
Mu Run said, "Yaoyao has seen the jewelry I always wear around my neck."
Wang Yaozong slapped his leg. "It's all because I don't earn enough. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let my sister sell her treasure."
Mu Run chuckled: "You're already amazing. At only sixteen, you're already acting as a pillar, protecting me and Yao Yao. When you buy delicious food, we eat it first, and you don't complain even after you've finished it all. You're just grinning like an idiot."
Yao Yao also said, "That's right, brother is very, very good, the best brother in the world."
Wang Yaozong blushed. "It's not as good as you say. I'll go to the kitchen outside and make you something to eat."
They all went out in a row.
Mu Run and Yao Yao exchanged a smile.
"By the way, sister, what about the open-air academy? Lanni and Yingying came to me today, asking when classes can start?"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to go," Mu Run sighed. "Because... I'm pregnant, and I can't overexert myself."
Yao Yao stared in surprise at Mu Run's belly, her mouth agape. "You're pregnant?"
"Mmm." Mu Run smiled, put her finger to her lips, and sighed softly. "Don't tell anyone, okay? Baby will be very petty."
"I often took care of my mother when she was pregnant. How many months pregnant is my sister?"
"The doctor said it's been four months," Mu Run replied.
"When my mother was four months pregnant, her belly was so big, why couldn't my sister's belly be seen?"
"Because your mother had given birth before, and this is my first baby, my belly is tighter, so you can't tell."
Is it a boy or a girl inside?
"If we guess based on the saying 'sour for a boy, spicy for a girl,' it should be a boy, but there are exceptions. Anyway, it's either a boy or a girl, haha."
It's possible that both are true!
“It’s better to have a boy. If it’s a girl… she’ll be sold to a brothel.” Yao Yao looked at her left leg, which was completely gone below the knee.
Mu Run hugged her, knowing that she was thinking of her own tragic experience. "There is a kind of skilled craftsman who can make prosthetics, which can make people walk normally after wearing them."
"Really?" Wang Yaozong rushed into the house, his eyes shining with astonishment. "Yaoyao can stand up and walk again?"
"Yes, it definitely can." Mu Run nodded affirmatively.
...
Because of her pregnancy, Mu Run can no longer do many things as carefree as before.
Moreover, she doesn't know much about this other world. She's pregnant and completely lost. If she doesn't know anything about childbirth and doesn't know how to give birth, wouldn't that be a life-threatening situation? It would mean three lives lost!
After much deliberation, she decided to hire a maid to take care of her.
Qin's mother is a local from Jingyue County. She is warm and kind, hardworking and clean, and cooks delicious meals. Moreover, she has four children, three sons and one daughter, so she is the perfect person to take care of Murun.
