Chapter 65: Pregnant

It was a sunny day.

Old Man Yu has been working for that other village with a few strong men from the Yu family these days. They had just received their wages and were given a heavy bag of copper plates.

In addition, there was the happy event of Bai Xiaofeng's pregnancy two days ago, so Mrs. Wei waved her hand and gave Li Chunhua a lot of copper plates, asking her to go to the village butcher's house to buy some ribs to make soup.

"Let's not talk about your father and your husband for now. The brothers have been getting up early and going to school late these days, and they are busy with their homework when they come back. I think they are exhausted." Mrs. Wei said, "And your second brother's wife, this woman is pregnant, which is very detrimental to her blood and qi. Buy her another piece of pig liver."

Mrs. Wei gave a long explanation, and Li Chunhua responded by carrying a bamboo basket and going out.

As a result, after she bought the pork ribs and pork liver, she was carrying the heavy bamboo basket back. At a bend in the village, she bumped into a person running from the opposite direction and almost spilled all her food!

"Who is it?" Li Chunhua stood firm and looked back to make sure that nothing in the bamboo basket had spilled. She felt relieved and turned back to angrily question the reckless opponent.

As a result, before she could see who it was, the other person had already recognized her, cried "Big Sister", and threw himself into Li Chunhua's arms.

Li Chunhua was stunned for a moment, only then she realized that the person she bumped into was actually her fourth sister Li Donghua!

"Donghua, what's wrong?" Li Donghua threw herself into Li Chunhua's arms and cried loudly. Li Chunhua was a little panicked.

Did something happen to your parents?

Or what?

Li Chunhua's hands and feet felt numb.

Li Donghua raised her head from Li Chunhua's arms and cried: "Zhao Zhaodi is pregnant!"

Li Chunhua didn't react for a moment. Who was Zhao Zhaodi?

Fortunately, she suddenly remembered after a moment of hesitation - isn't this Zhao Zhaodi the girl from the next village that her adopted brother Li Jinan has taken a fancy to?

Pregnant?!

Li Chunhua's head was numb, and she lowered her voice: "Yes, Jin Nan's?"

Li Donghua broke down and cried: "Who else could it be except him!... Right now the Zhao family is relying on the fact that Zhao Zhaodi has Li Jinnan's child to force me to marry that idiot from the Zhao family!"

Li Chunhua's mind was racing and she had no idea what to do for a moment.

"You, don't cry yet." Li Chunhua held Li Donghua's arm, "Come home with me first, and we'll talk about it when we get home."

Li Donghua nodded while crying, and followed Li Chunhua back to Yu's house.

Mrs. Wei was feeding chickens in the yard with Xingxing. She was stunned when she saw Li Chunhua coming back with a crying girl.

"This is..."

Mrs. Wei hadn't seen Li Donghua for several years. The little girl had grown up and looked very different from when she was little. It was normal that Mrs. Wei didn't recognize her.

"Mom, this is my fourth sister, Donghua." Li Chunhua put the bamboo basket behind her in the kitchen, led Li Donghua to Mrs. Wei, and told her the matter worriedly.

"Pregnant?" Mrs. Wei's eyebrows jumped and she was a little scared.

This is a match without mediation.

Li Donghua cried bitterly: "Aunt, I don't want to marry that idiot from the Zhao family, but now Zhao Zhaodi is pregnant with Li Jinan's child, so she has to marry me. My parents have no choice - I was hiding at my second brother-in-law's house, but the Zhao family found my second brother-in-law's house directly and wanted to tie me up and take me to the Zhao family for the wedding ceremony that night!... If it weren't for my second sister and second brother-in-law stopping me, I wouldn't be able to run to my eldest sister now."

As she spoke, Li Donghua knelt down in front of Grandma Wei and cried, "Auntie, please save me!"

Li Chunhua couldn't help shedding tears when she saw her sister crying so hard. She cursed angrily: "No wonder Donghua ran to her second sister last time. I see that little beast is not in a hurry. He is waiting here!"

She was so angry that she stopped calling her adopted brother by his name and just called him "little bastard".

Aunt Wei hurried to help Li Donghua up and said, "Good child, our Yu and Li families are relatives. When your elder sister married into our family, you were just a little kid, and you grew up under your aunt's care. How could your aunt watch you being pushed into the fire pit?"

Li Chunhua couldn't help feeling sad when she thought of her fourth sister's childhood and she wiped away her tears.

When Li Donghua was born, she was already a girl. Before she got married, she had always been with her younger sister, so naturally, this relationship was unusual.

Li Chunhua choked up and said, "Mom, what do you say we should do? ... Zhao Zhaodi is pregnant, and her family can only accept a replacement marriage. Although my parents love us, they dream of continuing the family line... Are we really going to marry Donghua to that idiot?"

Mrs. Wei also had a severe headache.

But even though there was no other way, Grandma Wei still persuaded softly: "Don't cry, Donghua, stay with your elder sister first. Don't worry, we don't have many other people in our family, but we have many men. Even if the Zhao family comes, they can't take you away by force!"

Mrs. Wei's words were like a warm current that comforted Li Donghua.

Li Donghua was shaking with tears all over her body: "Auntie, thank you so much, thank you so much..."

Mrs. Wei gave Li Chunhua a look, asking her to take her sister to her room to rest first.

This poor little girl, she just looked at her and saw that one of her shoes was worn out and her clothes were covered with mud and dust. It seemed that she had run a long way and had fallen many times.

It's so pitiful.

Li Chunhua was also very distressed and took Li Donghua into the house to rest.

Bai Xiaofeng listened to the noise at the door for a long time, and lowered her voice with some indignation: "Mother, how could my sister-in-law's brother do such a thing?!...Even during the most difficult years of the disaster, my sister-in-law's family did not lack Li Jinan for food and clothing. My sister-in-law is slow at sewing, and sometimes I would make some sewing for Li Jinan and send it back to her family. No family has ever treated Li Jinan badly!...He is so good, he is used to sucking blood from the Li family? He has to marry a daughter-in-law of the Li family!"

Bai Xiaofeng became angrier as he spoke.

Mrs. Wei glanced at Bai Xiaofeng and said, "Come on, you're pregnant, don't get too angry."

Bai Xiaofeng also understood. She took a deep breath, calmed down, and subconsciously touched her belly: "...That Zhao Zhaodi is really cruel. She's pregnant before she even gets married. She's not afraid of being criticized. Does she really want to marry into the Li family?"

Bai Xiaofeng didn't mean it, but Mrs. Wei could hear something wrong.

Is Li Jinan so good that Zhao Zhaodi has to go to such great lengths to marry into the Li family and have a child?

Are you so anxious to find a new wife for your brother?

Don’t they worry that the Li family is really determined not to have the baby in Zhao Zhaodi’s belly?

After all, if she gets pregnant before getting married, the man will at most be laughed at by others, but for the woman, it is a disaster!

In some places with closed customs, people are even dragged to be immersed in pig cages!
