"Grandma, it's useless to say anything now. It's already happened. The next thing is how to solve it. Xiaoli's matter concerns her whole life, and no one dares to make a decision right away. How about this, my sister-in-law and I go boil some water for her to take a bath, and we'll make a decision tomorrow."
Tian Yuzhu knew that delaying it any longer was not a solution, as no one in the family could come up with an idea.
As the saying goes, don't hesitate on small matters, but take your time before making decisions on big matters.
The old lady nodded and said, "Yuzhu is right. Third Ade, you and your son should go back first. Let Xiaoli stay in our courtyard for one night. It will be more convenient with Su Zhen and Yuzhu taking care of her. We can discuss other issues tomorrow."
At this point, Shi De and Shi Weiqiang had no choice but to go home no matter how reluctant they were.
Family reunion is supposed to be a good thing, but they came happily but left in tears.
After the father and son left, Shi Zhentang went up to Shi Xiaoli and comforted her, "Xiaoli, don't be afraid. No one in the family will beat you again!"
Because of hypnosis, Shi Xiaoli was particularly familiar with his voice, so she gradually calmed down.
After Shi Zhentang's persuasion, he finally agreed to sit back on the kang.
Tian Yuzhu and Su Zhen hurried to the kitchen to boil water. They hadn't seen each other for a long time and originally had endless things to talk about, but now the atmosphere was very depressing.
The only thing that remains unchanged is Su Zhen's concern for Tian Yuzhu.
"Yuzhu, you can't carry water."
"Yuzhu, you can't sit on such a low stool. You have to sit higher so that the baby in your belly can be comfortable."
"Sister-in-law, I'm fine..."
"Be obedient, sister-in-law is an experienced person."
Su Zhen grabbed everything Tian Yuzhu wanted to touch: "The first child is very important. Don't do anything else. Just stay with me and talk."
"Sister-in-law, is everything okay at home?" Tian Yuzhu could only sit beside her and watch her busying herself fetching water and making fire.
"Well, since we split up, we've had hope for a better life. The ginseng you left us was sold, and the money was used to pay for the labor costs of building the house. There was still some left to buy food. With the work points your eldest brother and I earn from working in the fields, it's no problem for us to support Grandma and the two children."
"By the way, Yuzhu, you know we've divided up our own plots, right? I sowed cabbage seeds right after we divided them up, and now they're all grown. We'll be able to eat them soon."
"Now, there will never be a day when we have to queue up to buy a cabbage during the Chinese New Year. The vegetables grown in our private plots are enough to last us for a long time. In short, our daily lives are becoming more and more promising!"
When Su Zhen said this, her eyes were shining, she was full of hope for the future, and her expression was full of happiness.
She is no longer the timid daughter-in-law who was abused by Yang Dahua and was submissive.
Now Su Zhen has an independent personality and thoughts, and she tries her best to support this small family.
"Sister-in-law, good days are yet to come!" Tian Yuzhu said with a smile.
Su Zhen agreed with a smile. Apart from anything else, she was already very satisfied with being able to get her own private plot of land and to live a small life separately.
She didn't dare to think of a better life.
The water was quickly boiled and the wooden tub for bathing was placed in Su Zhen's room. Cheng Cheng and Dou Dou were sent to the old lady's room. Su Zhen was busy pouring water while Tian Yuzhu went to call Shi Xiaoli.
Fortunately, Shi Xiaoli had memorized her voice during hypnosis, so the other party was quite obedient.
She obediently went to the room and let her two sisters-in-law help her take a bath.
Seeing the huge basin of dirty water, even Su Zhen couldn't help but frown: "Xiao Li is really in trouble this time!"
Then he added, "If you and Zhentang hadn't noticed those bad guys, who knows where they would have taken her."
"They must have forced Xiaoli to give birth to the baby and then sold it to make a profit." Tian Yuzhu had heard of similar cases, which were particularly cruel. The traffickers waited for the victims to give birth and then sold the mother and child separately to different places, where they would never see each other again.
"That's horrifying!" Su Zhen shook her head after hearing this. "Isn't this something a beast would do?"
"They are worse than animals."
In fact, the truth is often more cruel, but Tian Yuzhu did not continue to tell Su Zhen because she did not want to scare her.
After taking a shower, Shi Xiaoli was brought back to the main house. Shi Weimin had already lit a fire and asked Shi Xiaoli to sit next to it to dry her hair. On the other side, Su Zhen was busy going to another room to make the bed for Tian Yuzhu and her husband.
The young couple has not returned to live in the new house since it was built. Although the sheets and quilts are still the same old ones, they have been washed clean by Su Zhen and dried in the sun many times, and the quilts are fragrant and soft.
It was only at this moment that Tian Yuzhu had time to sit next to the old lady and talk to her.
The old lady held her little face in her hands and looked at it, then pulled Shi Zhentang to sit next to her. Before she could say anything, tears fell like beads from a broken string.
Tian Yuzhu was moved and raised her hand to wipe the old woman's tears: "Don't cry, grandma, look, Zhentang is fine, and I am fine too. We should be happy."
She thought that since the old lady could dream about her pregnancy, she must know that Shi Weimin and his brother lied after they came back and said that Shi Zhentang was not injured.
They are the closest people to each other, and that premonition is an indescribable power.
The old lady wiped her tears and said, "I'm happy. I knew Zhentang must have been injured, but now that he can stand in front of me in good shape, I'm satisfied. Zhentang, you have to promise grandma that safety is the most important thing when you go on missions in the future."
"Don't worry, grandma, I will." Shi Zhentang gave her a reassuring smile.
The old lady pulled Tian Yuzhu's hand again and said, "You don't know how good the baby in your dream looks. He has big eyes, a bright nose like Zhentang, and skin like milk. His expression and temperament also look a bit like his great-grandfather."
This... Could it be that the old lady was talking about someone who looks like her father?
Tian Yuzhu and Shi Zhentang looked at each other happily. In their family, both Shi Zhentang's mother's generation and his generation had only one child. Now they have another baby, so the old lady is naturally happy.
Tian Yuzhu thought that she would be happier, so she said, "Grandma, I'm pregnant with twins."
"What, twins?"
"Um."
"Oh my God, this is great, you finally opened your eyes!"
The old lady was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly got off the kang: "No, I have to go and burn some incense."
Yes, this is the happiest thing that has happened to the Shi family in many years. In terms of blood relationship, the baby in Tian Yuzhu's belly is the true descendant of the Shi family.
Tian Yuzhu and Shi Zhentang naturally followed the old lady's wishes and accompanied her to the altar in the main hall to burn incense.
The whole family kowtowed respectfully, and Chengcheng and Doudou were also very happy.
"Will Second Aunt's baby look exactly the same?"
"Second Aunt, when you give birth to the baby, I want to be the first to hold it."
The little ones were so happy to think that they would have two new playmates at home.
