Chapter 149

Xu Wen swallowed and looked around.

"Where do you think you can escape to?" Lu Yuanzheng crossed his arms and said slowly.

Xu asked: "..."

"Or are you waiting for your savior Custer to save you? Hmm?"

Lu Yuanzheng hummed the last word "hmm" with a nasal tone, expressing his displeasure clearly.

Xu Wen complained aggrievedly: "Lu Yuanzheng, that's enough! You keep talking more and more outrageously!"

Lu Yuanzheng was so angry that he laughed, "Oh! This is inappropriate? When you slandered me, did you ever think about what was inappropriate? I was planning to..."

He grabbed Xu Wen's arm and dragged him directly into the bedroom, "Let me show you what imprisonment is like."

Although he was angry, Lu Yuanzheng did not forget his sense of propriety. He restrained his strength and tried his best not to hurt Xu Wen.

She spoke without any consideration for his feelings, and he could not forget that she was still a pregnant woman.

Xu Wen sat on the edge of the bed, looking up at Lu Yuanzheng who was leaning on the edge of the desk with an angry look on his face, as if he was interrogating a prisoner. Finally, he realized that Lu Yuanzheng was really angry.

This realization made Xu Wen move back involuntarily.

It was the first time I saw Lu Yuanzheng angry during the fight, and to be honest, the novelty was greater than the fear.

Maybe she subconsciously felt that no matter how angry Lu Yuanzheng was, he would not really hurt her.

Lu Yuanzheng uttered a short "huh" with a sarcastic look on his face, and his meaning was very clear: Oh! You also know how to be afraid? !

Xu Wen touched his slightly protruding belly and immediately felt more confident. He looked at Lu Yuanzheng pitifully and said, "Didn't I do that to fool Custer?"

"Why are you fooling him? What's so good about him that you can't fool him? What? Are you really going to fulfill your 'promise' with him?"

The word "agreement" sounded like gnashing of teeth to Xu Wen.

"What kind of agreement is this? He's inviting me to commit treason! Do you think I'd go? I was just kidding him. Yes, we'll probably never have anything to do with him again. But, it won't do us any good if he gets angry now, right?"

"If you say imprisonment, I can bear it. Promise him to divorce me? Huh? Xu Wen? Can you say that? Especially to another man who has other intentions towards you?! Xu Wen, I'm not dead yet!"

"Then there's no need to talk about divorce." Xu Wen muttered softly.

"What did you say?" Lu Yuanzheng stood up straight and took a step closer. If he didn't deal with her, he would be in trouble.

"If I tell you that I just said it casually without thinking, would you believe me?"

Lu Yuanzheng responded with another short snort.

Xu asked: "..."

It seems that this time Lu Yuanzheng was not only really angry, but also very angry.

But she was just fooling Custer at the time.

It really was a no-brainer.

If we have to give a reason, it's probably because of the influence of Apple Face and his friends who are extremely poor.

When they are not talking about business, they are just talking nonsense and dare to say anything.

It is said that those who are close to vermilion will be red, and those who are close to ink will be black.

She really just said it casually.

Obviously Lu Yuanzheng doesn't think so.

Xu Wen had never seen such a long journey before.

The whole person looks like he is about to go berserk at any moment but has to endure and restrain himself.

It seemed to be more serious than the consequences of her previous sneaking into the Kaya.

“Don’t be angry!” Xu Wen moved back to the end of the bed, his two slender legs hanging over the edge of the bed. He reached out and grabbed the hem of Lu Yuanzheng’s sailor shirt and shook it, actively showing weakness and coaxing him: “You’ll scare your daughter if you do this!”

Lu Yuanzheng's eyes subconsciously fell on Xu Wen's flat belly, and his voice unconsciously lowered by two points, his tone was still not very good: "I don't know if she is scared or not, but whether I can still be her father or not, neither of us father and daughter have the final say!"

Xu asked: "..."

Well, it turns out that what made me most angry was when she said divorce.

"Who else could be her father if not you?" Xu Wen turned the tables, looking surprised, and then he accused her with tears in his eyes, "Lu Yuanzheng, do you want to abandon us mother and daughter? Or do you think the child in my belly is not yours?"

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

Because he was too shocked, Lu Yuanzheng's face was blank.

It took me a long time to react, and I didn't know how else I could react.

Finally, he shook his head, not sure whether he was angry or helpless: "Xu Wen, is there anything you dare not say now?"

Xu Wen nodded, and immediately lowered his head to admit his mistake: "Yes! I will never dare to talk nonsense again. Especially words like 'divorce' that hurt feelings!"

"You still know how to hurt feelings!" Lu Yuanzheng glanced at her.

"As soon as I said that, I realized my mistake!" Xu Wen clasped his thumb and pinky finger on his palm, raised the remaining three fingers and placed them above his temple, "I swear there won't be a next time!"

Lu Yuanzheng looked at her steadily without saying a word.

Xu Wen knew that he was not as angry as before, so she let go of the hem of his clothes, pulled her legs back, knelt down at the end of the bed, reached out to pull his arms that were crossed in front of her chest, and said in a sweet voice: "Husband! Please forgive me this time and don't be angry, okay? People say that pregnancy makes women stupid for three years, you can't argue with a fool."

It was not known whether it was the word "husband" that touched Lu Yuanzheng's heart, or whether her self-deprecating "fool" amused him.

Anyway, Lu Yuanzheng let her pull his arm out and shake it.

"Xu Wen!"

"exist!"

"You should be thankful that you are pregnant now! Otherwise, just wait and see how I will deal with you today!" Lu Yuanzheng said gritting his teeth.

At the very least, she should be made to understand that the word "divorce" is not something that can be said casually.

It's not that he didn't know that she was lying to Custer. Knowing it is one thing, but feeling uncomfortable listening to it is another.

"I'm sorry! I was wrong!"

I mean this from the bottom of my heart.

What else can a long journey do?

In the end, I can only warn you not to do this again.

After thinking about it, she felt a little unwilling, so she pinched Xu Wen's chin and kissed him hard.

It's a bit of a stretch to call it a kiss, it's more like chewing.

Xu Wen's lips and tongue hurt from the contact of her teeth, causing her to frown and try to hide.

However, his chin was still in Lu Yuanzheng's hand and he couldn't hide from it.

After the kiss, Xu Wen's lips were too red and visibly swollen, and tears were glistening in her eyes.

Lu Yuanzheng loosened his grip on her, turned his head to the side, and cursed. He felt a swollen pain somewhere and for a moment he didn't know whether he was punishing her or himself.

Xu Wen pouted and accused him with tears in her eyes: "Lu Yuanzheng, this is domestic violence!"

Hearing this, Lu Yuanzheng looked down at her, licked his lower lip with the tip of his tongue, and said shamelessly: "Then go ahead and sue me!"

Xu asked: "..."

The next day was Saturday, and Xu Wen organized the girls who had just arrived on the island to go to Pengcheng together.

They had just arrived and some of them didn't even have enough daily necessities.

Some of the things are available on Rainbow Island or can be bought at Mrs. Li’s canteen, but some are not available.

Mrs. Li also followed.

I always go to the Central Island to buy goods, but there's nothing fresh. I want to go to Pengcheng to get some fresh goods to change things up for the warriors.

As usual, Lu Yuanzheng went with the Rainbow alone.

Of course, he wasn't the only one on the boat today.

If Shi Lei hadn't ordered to control the number of people going out, it is estimated that nearly half of the camp would have to take leave today.

There are more than thirty of them now, far more than the number of girls.

Sister Li bent her elbows, leaned on the railing, and asked with a gloomy look, "Sister-in-law, did you have a fight with Lu Ying?"

"No!" Xu Wen yawned and shook his head, thinking that there was nothing to argue with this bastard.

Sister Li raised an eyebrow, looked in the direction of Lu Yuanzheng, then looked at Xu Wen, still feeling that something was wrong between the two of them, "Did you really not have a fight?"

"I'm pregnant. He wouldn't dare to quarrel with me even if he had three guts." Xu Wen glanced at Lu Yuanzheng, then quickly looked away, not wanting to look at him.

That dog man didn't behave like a human being last night!

He took advantage of her saying the wrong thing to blame her and bullied her a lot.

Except for not going in to say hello to his daughter, he did everything he was supposed to do.

"You have a cold?" Mrs. Li didn't understand. She listened to Xu Wenming's obviously hoarse voice and asked with concern, "You can't take medicine randomly when you are pregnant! You have to take it easy. Drink more brown sugar ginger water when you go back."

Xu Wen nodded and thanked Mrs. Li.

She couldn't say that she didn't have a cold and her hoarse throat was caused by that bastard Lu Yuanzheng.

Lu Yuanzheng was standing not too far away from Xu Wen and Mrs. Li, enough for him to hear their conversation clearly. He touched the tip of his nose guiltily.

Then he turned his head and asked Xu.

Xu Wen was staring at him, and when she saw him looking at her, she mouthed to him: You bastard!

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

Lu Yuanzheng just stretched out his index finger and middle finger together and hooked them at Xu Wen.

In other words, it is a digging action.

Xu Wen's face immediately turned red and she turned her head away, not wanting to see this bastard again.

Arrived at Pengcheng Pier.

As usual, we unload the cargo first.

With so many people helping, the cargo was unloaded in just a few minutes.

Lu Yuanzheng ordered his soldiers to protect the girls' safety and let them move freely.

Mrs. Li didn't want to be a light bulb, so she asked for directions to the wholesale market and then went there on her own.

Originally Lu Yuanzheng was worried and arranged for two people to follow her, but Mrs. Li refused.

"Why are these young men out here? What's the point of staying with an old lady like me? Don't mess up their marriage. I'm fine."

Lu Yuanzheng was one step behind Xu Wen, so he took the initiative to ask, "Does your throat still hurt?"

Xu Wen's face, which had just cooled down, started to burn again. He rolled his eyes at him unhappily and asked, "Do you want to try it?"

Lu Yuanzheng pursed his lips and said honestly: "I'm afraid there is no such opportunity!"

Xu Wen was so angry that he strode forward and didn't want to pay attention to him.

This time, Xu Wen did not go to his second brother to report the news, but went to the hospital first.

She is twelve weeks pregnant now, and I want to check it out.

The doctor checked and said the baby was healthy, and Xu Wen breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Yuanzheng, who was accompanying her, heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time, felt the magic of life, and was extremely excited.

Although the doctors repeatedly stressed that the fetus was not fully developed yet, all they heard was the fetal heartbeat.

Before leaving, the doctor praised and asked: "Pregnant women like you are rare. In fact, more frequent checkups can avoid many accidents. Unfortunately, prenatal checkups are not popular in our country. Many women judge whether the fetus is healthy based on the birth experience of their parents or themselves.

Some people never had a prenatal checkup from pregnancy to birth. As a result, many of their babies had problems. "

Xu Wen knew that some of these "problems" were very serious, such as Down syndrome, or umbilical cord around the neck in late pregnancy.

Let’s not talk about children with Down syndrome.

If the umbilical cord around the neck is not corrected in time during the late pregnancy, the baby may suffocate to death in the womb.

Prenatal examinations became very popular a few decades later, but nowadays few people do it.

Everyone thought it was a waste of money.

These were not something that Xu Wen, a visitor from outside time and space, could change. She thanked the doctor and said that she would come for prenatal checkups on time in the future.

When I left the hospital, I still saw Lu Yuanzheng grinning foolishly.

Xu asked: "..."

It's just listening to the fetal heart rate, is it that serious?

Do your brothers dare to entrust their lives to you even though they know you are so stupid?

When we arrived at Xu Wen's store, it was still early and no customers had come in yet.

As usual, Xu Wen reconciled the accounts between his sisters-in-law and his second uncle.

By the way, I told Xu Wen and his wife about my pregnancy.

"Really?" Xu Wen stood at the table and looked at Xu Wen. "My parents always write to me asking if you are pregnant. I told them that you won't be pregnant before you graduate from college!"

Xu Wen asked curiously, "Why didn't my parents ask me?"

It's not like she didn't write home.

"I'm sorry to ask you! They have feudal ideas and think that you should get married and have children. But you don't have parents-in-law to urge you, Lu Yuanzheng pampers you, and you are still a student. They can't make up their mind whether they should urge you. Don't urge them! You and Lu Yuanzheng have been married for one or two years, so should they urge you? You are still a college student.

No matter what, I am always thinking about this matter. I am too embarrassed to ask you so I can only ask me. "

Xu asked: "..."

"Should I thank you then?"

Xu Wen rolled his eyes. "I've covered for you for more than just this one time. Are you willing to come over to thank me?"

"That's right. Then don't thank me! After all, too much debt is not a worry, and too many lice are not itchy."

Xu Wen: “…”

Xu Wen turned to Lu Yuanzheng and complained: "Watch out for your wife!"

Lu Yuanzheng sat like a master, with his arms resting on the back of the chair. Hearing this, he let out an "ah", looked at Xu Wen, then back at Xu Wen, "Second uncle, do you think I dare?"

Xu Wen: “…”

It is understandable that you don't dare to do so, but you still look so proud when you don't dare to do so? Isn't it shameful?!

After Xu Wen finished his calculations, he threw the account book to Lu Yuanzheng, "It's been more than a month and there's a slight surplus on the books. It's time to distribute the money to everyone. Go call your second uncle."

It doesn't matter how much money you make, the money you get can give you motivation.

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

He flipped through the account book casually, but couldn't quite understand it. He touched his nose, put the account book down, and obediently went to ask his second uncle.

Xu Wen yawned and wondered when her sleepiness would be cured.

Sang Xiaoqing brought her a bowl of watermelon juice. Seeing that Xu Wen was unhappy about this, she comforted her: "You are already lucky! How good is it to sleep? Not vomiting does not affect eating and drinking. When I was pregnant with Chunsheng, I vomited so much every day that my gallbladder was about to come out. I vomited as soon as I ate, and I was worried that the baby in my belly would not get enough nutrition if I didn't eat.

He is just like an idiot all day long. He eats even though he knows he will throw up. His thinking is simple..."

Recalling that time, Sang Xiaoqing smiled and shook her head, "I thought, if I eat a mouthful and spit out half of it, wouldn't I still have half of it left? A little bit adds up to a lot, and the child won't be hungry in a day."

Xu asked: "..."

She was also at Xu's house when Sang Xiaoqing was pregnant, and she had seen Sang Xiaoqing vomiting so hard that her lungs were broken.

The Xu family was really poor at that time, and the best they could do to improve their lives was to cook two eggs for Sang Xiaoqing.

Xu Wen saved his tuition money and asked Zhu Meizhen to buy some fruit for Sang Xiaoqing, but Sang Xiaoqing was embarrassed to accept it.

Zhu Meizhen was bought like meat.

It’s not that Zhu Meizhen is greedy, but in the eyes of ordinary people, meat is the best food they can afford.

It was hot then, so meat was difficult to store.

Zhu Meizhen bought half a pound of meat, cut it into slices and marinated it with soybean oil and salt to prevent the meat from going bad quickly.

She put a few slices in every dish, cut one slice each for Grandma and Xu to satisfy their gluttony, and put the rest into Sang Xiaoqing's bowl.

Sang Xiaoqing shook her head and sighed when she thought of those meals: "At that time, I didn't dare to tell my mother that I didn't want to eat meat. In fact, I felt sick when I smelled meat. At that time, I really wanted to eat some fruit, such as watermelon and peach.

One time when I was going to the commune with your brother, we saw a man selling watermelons on the way. I was so greedy that my mouth was watering.

Your brother bought me a small piece." Sang Xiaoqing opened her hands and gestured to the size of her palm, "I still think it is the most delicious watermelon I have ever eaten in my life. In fact, your brother is not good at choosing, and the piece of watermelon he bought was just not very sweet."

Xu Wen didn't know about this, and couldn't help but complain to Xu Wen: "My brother is reluctant to buy you a whole one?"

Xu Wen opened his mouth, lowered his head and said nothing.

Sang Xiaoqing was busy protecting him, "How could he be reluctant? At that time, we hadn't split up yet, and our mother was in charge of the money. She even gave me money to buy some delicious food when I went out. But at that time, I was only thinking about saving money to build a house, so I was reluctant to part with it."

Xu Wen shook his head. "In the final analysis, it's because I don't have the ability. If my family makes so much money like we do now, how can we be reluctant to buy a watermelon?"

"You can't say that!" Sang Xiaoqing retorted, "People don't know what will happen in the future. Did you know that Wenwen would marry Lu Yuanzheng? If you had known, you wouldn't have fought with others in the field.

I wonder if you had followed Lu Yuanzheng to the island, would you have known about reform and opening up? Would you have known that it is easier to earn money in the special economic zones than to earn work points in the production team?

If I had known this earlier, I would never have built the house. We owe so much money, and more than half of it has not been repaid yet. But we can't live in a brand new house anymore, what a waste! I feel bad just thinking about how much effort you and dad put into laying the soil. You worked day and night, and you lost a lot of weight."

This touched Xu Wen's heart. He nodded and sighed, "Yes! People have no sense of precedence. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have built that house. It's better to live here until this year!"

Xu Wenxin thought, you guys don’t have foresight, but I can predict it!

At that time, Xu Wen had not thought of bringing Xu Wen out, otherwise he would definitely find ways to stop them from building the house.

All I can say is that even if you predict the future, you can’t predict what will happen next.

She thought for a moment and comforted them: "It's done! At least you can live in it for half a year, right? Besides, even if you don't want to go back in the future, you can just sell it and you won't lose much."

The Taoyuan production team has many people but little land, and many young people like Xu Wen are clearly qualified but cannot get housing plots.

The foundation that he and Xu Qiushi built themselves was worth a lot of money.

Sang Xiaoqing's eyes lit up and she sat down next to Xu Wen. "Your idea is very good. In my opinion, we should sell the house after we go back home for the New Year!"

Xu Wen frowned, "Don't be ridiculous! Where will we live when we return to our hometown after we sell it?"

"Are you still planning to go back home? I think our parents will come over after the Chinese New Year. The whole family is here, and we can just go back during the holidays and squeeze in!"

"Did our parents say they were coming?" Xu Wen interrupted.

Xu Wen shook his head: "Don't listen to your sister-in-law's nonsense. Our parents didn't say they wanted to come over."

Sang Xiaoqing was unconvinced and said, "I'm not talking nonsense! My parents haven't told us yet because they don't know Xu Wen is pregnant. You write a letter back and tell them about it. Do you think they will come? My parents are worried about us since we are here.

There are no parents-in-law, and the long journey to that job doesn't allow anyone to take care of her. Who will take care of her during the confinement period? Are you going to let her wash diapers and cook for herself during the confinement period?"

Xu Wen frowned, but did not refute this time.

He hadn't considered what Sang Xiaoqing said. As soon as Xu Wen said she was pregnant, Sang Xiaoqing had already planned the confinement period. How could he think so carefully?

He thought about it carefully and felt that it was very likely as Sang Xiaoqing said.

Xu Qiushi and Zhu Meizhen will bring Xu Qie and Chunsheng here.

Xu Qi can go to elementary school, either in Pengcheng or in Rainbow Island.

Xu Wen touched his back teeth with the tip of his tongue, thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible to sell the house. I see your business is getting better and better. If you really sell the house in your hometown and expand your storefront here, it would be great. If both my parents come, then we can see each other more often as a family."

Xu Wen also nodded, "If we really come here, the houses at home are almost the same whether we want them or not. But it's not as easy as you two think. We are rooted in the production team! Besides, even if we leave, my eldest sister is still in the commune! What will she do?"
