"Will you still sell bean sprouts in the future?" Su Nianxue asked.
Peach shook her head, "I'm not going. From now on, I'll work in the fields with your older brother and help him with some of the work."
It was such a small matter, and with her mother's help, Wang Erya could handle it all by herself.
I didn't want her to be so tired, and I also thought about how much money my family owed, so I wanted to do my part and went with her.
But now that she's married, if she were to go with her sister-in-law to sell bean sprouts again, it would be suspected of taking advantage of her.
"That's great! From now on, you two will be inseparable, my brother will be overjoyed!" Su Nianxue said with a mischievous smile.
"You're always teasing us." Peach pursed her lips, a faint blush on her face.
"Sister-in-law, why are you shy?"
"Look at my older brother, he's not like that at all. Yanliu said the same thing to him last time, but he just kept laughing and chuckling without any embarrassment." Su Nianxue laughed even harder.
Peach affectionately tapped her forehead, "You're kidding me. Your older brother is as dark as a lump of charcoal, even if he has some expression on his face, how would you be able to tell?"
"You know what, it's true, my older brother is pretty shady." Su Nianxue's eyebrows curved into a smile, a hint of slyness in her eyes.
"But sister-in-law, you're getting fairer and fairer. Compared to my brother, who's so dark-skinned, it's quite a contrast..."
A blush crept onto Peach's face. "You're getting more and more mischievous."
Be careful, your future baby might be just as mischievous as you, then you'll have a lot of headaches.
Looking at her slightly protruding belly, Peach's eyes were filled with envy.
I guess I'll never have children in this lifetime.
“There’s nothing we can do about it. Gu Yanbai said that no matter how naughty our own child is, we have to put up with it. We can’t just throw them away anyway.” Su Nianxue smiled and patted her lower abdomen.
Gu Yanbai is right. With the personalities of the two of them, no matter which parent the child takes after, the child will never be quiet.
So, they were already mentally prepared.
"I really don't know what to say about you two. You can't just say things like that so casually." Peach shook her head helplessly.
"What's the big deal? If they get too naughty and the adults can't stand it, they can just give them a beating." Of course, this was said by Gu Yanbai.
He also said that he was like that when he was a child, and Su Nianxue wholeheartedly agreed.
Peach, "That's what I say, but I'm afraid you won't be able to part with it when the time comes."
"By the way, where's Yanbai? He's been here for ages, and I haven't seen him anywhere."
"He had some business to attend to in the county. He left right after lunch." He's been helping out at home these past few days, and now that he's finally done, he has to go to the county to take a look.
Taozi was a little embarrassed. "These days, I'm so grateful to Yanbai. He's been so busy with my and your brother's wedding that he's neglected his own business."
Su Nianxue waved her hand, "It's alright, we're all family, it's only right to help each other out."
"You're right. I don't have much to do these days anyway, so I'll come and help you grind tofu in the afternoons from now on."
"No need, the two of us can manage." It's the same things every day; the two of them could do it even with their eyes closed.
"Hey, you don't know, I was actually bored at home too."
There's not much work to do in the fields right now, so even if I went, there wouldn't be much for me to do.
But you all know your older brother; he likes to wander around the fields when he has nothing to do.
"I'm just lazing around at home anyway, so I thought I'd come and keep you company and have a chat." She didn't have many friends in the village; besides Wang Erya, it was just the two of them.
“Okay, you come and help me, what else can I say?” Su Nianxue waved her hand and readily agreed.
Gu Yanliu also smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm so happy that you could come and help us."
Soon, the soy milk was ready, and the three of them sat around in the courtyard, drinking soy milk and chatting.
Peach changed the subject and asked in a low voice, "Nianxue, I heard from my sister-in-law that you went to the county hospital for a checkup?"
Su Nianxue suddenly realized, "Yes, sister-in-law, you want to go too?"
"Yeah, your brother said I should go and take a look too."
Well, it wasn't for... that kind of thing.
He knew I hadn't been feeling well, so he suggested I go see a doctor, saying it would be good if it made me feel better.
She felt a little shy and uneasy. Although she kept telling herself not to have any hope, she still…
"Let's go take a look!" It was only natural, and Su Nianxue quickly gave her the old doctor's address.
Peach carefully wrote it down, "Okay, we'll go when we have time."
………
Su Nianxue followed Gu Yanliu to town, just like before.
When passing by the steamed bun shop, Yang Hongxing saw her and called out to her from a distance.
Gu Yanliu stopped the donkey cart. "Sister-in-law, go and have some fun. I'll come pick you up later."
"Okay." She went straight to the steamed bun shop and saw a familiar figure inside from afar.
The man was tall and wore a white apron around his waist, revealing his strong and well-built physique.
Seeing his attire, Su Nianxue joked, "Brother Mingjie, you're quick on your feet."
Gu Yanbai just left yesterday, and you're already showing up this morning? Tsk tsk, you didn't rush back in the middle of the night, did you?
Zhou Mingjie wasn't one to be shy, so he readily admitted it.
He even joked back, "Sister-in-law, you know what, I really did rush back in the middle of the night."
However, I hear a hint of resentment in your words.
Or should I go and change it back for him, so you two can have something warm again?
Su Nianxue chuckled, glancing at Yang Hongxing, "Forget it, we can't do this to break up a couple."
What I mean is, some people are now starting to worry about their wives and kids.
"Nianxue, what are you saying?" Yang Hongxing smiled slightly, her face calm and composed. Her relationship with Zhou Mingjie was not what she had imagined.
She asked herself if there was anything she could do that would make him think about her?
If I had to say there was one, it would only be the baby in her womb.
Zhou Mingjie did come back last night, but the two of them barely exchanged a few words before washing up and going to bed.
Of course, she's just sleeping; given her current condition, she can't do anything else.
Their relationship is... a bit complicated right now.
She was unsure how to face him.
The two got married reluctantly, and they had already agreed to divorce, but then a child suddenly appeared.
Zhou Mingjie remained calm, asked her a few simple questions, and then went to sleep.
Moreover, he followed her to the shop early in the morning.
I helped with whatever chores I could manage, but of course I never kneaded dough again.
To be honest, when he's working hard, he looks... pretty good.
But she hadn't forgotten his dark past before his marriage; he was still the same young girl who had come to her door last time.
There are countless examples like this outside!
Therefore, she didn't dare to give him her true feelings at all.
