A few days later~
"Boss lady, we're here."
Yu Niang's gentle voice drifted in from the courtyard.
"Yu Niang and Shi Tou have arrived, welcome!"
Wei Yuyan was still listless, but much better than a few days ago.
"Sister Yuyan~".
Stone took the initiative to greet him.
"Okay, Stone, you and your mother will still live in that room."
Wei Yuyan pointed to the small room on the first floor.
Yu Niang put the bundle on the bed and started getting busy.
After cleaning the house thoroughly, I started cooking.
"There's not much food at home, and I haven't gone out to buy meat in a long time. Could you please buy two pieces of tofu to cook? Stone, could you please make the trip?"
Wei Yuyan took out three coins and handed them to Shi Tou. Xiao Lei had taken him to buy them before, so he knew where they were.
"good".
Stone took the money and ran away.
"Boss lady, I haven't congratulated you yet. I heard you're pregnant, only a month along?"
While washing vegetables, Yu Niang chatted with Wei Yuyan.
"Yes, that's right."
Wei Yuyan nodded.
"You seem to be having severe morning sickness; your face looks noticeably thinner."
Yu Niang observed Wei Yuyan and estimated that she had probably lost a few pounds.
"Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have specifically asked you to come and help. Thank you for your help."
Wei Yuyan hoped she could recover quickly, otherwise Yu Niang would have to go to the steamed bun shop and wouldn't have much time.
"This is what I should do."
After washing the vegetables, Yu Niang picked up a basket and went to pick chili peppers.
"Little sister, I heard you're pregnant?"
Then Wei Yuhan arrived, carrying Yueyue on her back in a basket.
"Yes, big sister, how did you know?"
Wei Yuyan was surprised; she had been thinking of going to tell her older sister herself if things got better.
"Today, Shi Tou said he was coming over with Yu Niang to play. He said you're pregnant. I thought Shi Tou had misheard, but it turns out it's true."
Wei Yuhan pulled Wei Yuyan to look at it again and again.
"It's true. I only found out yesterday. I didn't expect everyone to know now."
Wei Yuyan was still a little unaccustomed to this feeling of being surrounded and protected.
"I specially bought you some spare ribs. I'll have Yu Niang cook them for you today."
The eldest sister carried Yueyue out, with two pounds of pork ribs placed under the basket on her back.
"I have terrible morning sickness right now, and I can't eat anything."
Wei Yuyan shook her head, knowing she wouldn't be able to enjoy any food today.
"Oh, is that so? Okay, then you can just watch us eat."
Wei Yuhan was both amused and exasperated.
"Auntie, hug me~".
Yueyue reached out to Wei Yuyan for a hug, but Wei Yuyan tried to reach out as well, only to be stopped by her older sister.
"Hey~ You can't hold her now, Yueyue, be good, let Mommy hold you~".
Wei Yuhan picked up Yueyue and went to see the chicks.
"How's your brother-in-law's business?"
Wei Yuyan went into the room and poured a glass of warm water for her eldest sister.
"It's alright. Business is better when it's market day, but otherwise it's pretty quiet."
The older sister told the truth that selling pancakes was indeed easy and earned less than selling steamed buns, but it suited their current situation.
"Sister Yuyan, Sister Yuhan is here too. She bought the tofu, and here's the last penny."
Shi Tou came in carrying a bowl of tofu and handed Wei Yuyan a coin.
"This penny is your hard-earned money; keep it as pocket money."
Wei Yuyan gave her an extra coin.
"No, Sister Yuyan, we eat and live at your place, so it's only right that we do some work. We can't accept that."
Shi Tou insisted on putting the money into Wei Yuyan's hands.
"This kid is surprisingly stubborn."
Wei Yuyan had no choice but to put the one coin away.
"Yuyan, you have to be careful during the first three months of pregnancy. Don't do any work, especially heavy or strenuous work."
The eldest sister was a little worried.
"Okay, I understand. Yu Niang can stay at home from now on and only go to help out on market days. She won't go at other times."
Wei Yuyan has made up her mind to protect the child in her womb, which is the fruit of her love with Wu Chen.
"Okay, then I'm relieved. Oh, Yueyue~."
As they were talking, Yueyue ran out again, and her older sister quickly chased after her. Yueyue is getting more and more mischievous these days.
Wei Yuyan touched her belly, hoping it would be another adorable little girl.
Town~
Sun's mother and father went home to check if their son's injuries had healed, and also to find a matchmaker to find him a wife.
Sun's mother took the monthly allowance she received and prepared to put it into her box.
"Ahhhhhh."
Sun's mother looked at the stones in the box and was astonished. Her silver notes, land deeds, and bracelet had all disappeared, leaving only the two stones inside.
"What's wrong? Why are you shouting?"
Mr. Sun felt that Mrs. Sun was acting strangely; she was so old, yet she was still so loud and boisterous.
"Thief! Look, my silver notes, land deeds, and bracelet are all gone!"
Grandma Sun burst into tears.
"What? Wei'er, come here."
Mr. Sun suspected that his son had taken it.
"Father, how could I do such a thing? If I need money, I can just ask you. Why would I steal it? Mother, how long has it been since you last opened this box?"
Sun Wei protested his innocence, saying he had enough money to spend.
"I haven't opened it for over a month. You haven't brought anyone over lately, have you? What kind of 'good-for-nothing' friends?"
After wiping away her tears, Sun's mother began to analyze where the money had gone.
"Do you think it might be Liu Cuifang?"
Sun Wei thought about Liu Cuifang's sudden departure, which was already suspicious, but he never expected that the real culprit was here.
