After saying this, Dr. Zhao left.
Mrs. Wei was in a good mood and didn't hold a grudge about what had just happened: "Then you should take good care of yourself during your pregnancy and give birth to a big, healthy boy for our family."
Although Madam Wei was furious that Wei Xiaojuan didn't do any work, she thought about the precious grandson in Wei's belly and felt that it was not unbearable.
Most importantly, once her eldest grandson is born, he will be able to give her sister-in-law a good slap in the face!
Ye Peng's patience had been worn down, but because of this child, he seemed to have regained his energy and felt joyful.
Wei Xiaojuan touched her belly and sighed, "I'm so lucky!"
We almost had a fight, but then the baby arrived! Isn't that amazing luck?
She's already enjoying her life, and once she gives birth to a son, she'll be a great contributor to the family, and her status will only rise higher and become more secure.
Ms. Wei turned and ran out to inform Old Mrs. Ye.
After receiving the news, Old Lady Ye was stunned for a moment, then asked Madam Du to catch a big fat chicken, and also bring a basket of brown sugar eggs and a large bag of white rice.
Looking at the things Du brought, Wei cursed Du in her heart for being stingy and cheap. She earned so much money, yet she didn't even give away a single ginseng root!
When Ye Erquan returned from chopping wood that evening, he was happy to hear about it.
Originally, he had hoped that Ye Peng would change his mind after his daughter-in-law joined the family.
As it turns out, this daughter-in-law isn't normal either.
Ye Erquan then realized that Ye Peng was truly finished.
Now that Wei Xiaojuan is pregnant, he can only place his hopes on his grandson.
He must raise his grandchildren well. It doesn't matter if they become successful or not; he only hopes that they can grow up to be upright and kind people.
The next day, the whole village knew that Ye Peng was about to become a father.
Mrs. Wei was always smiling, telling everyone she met, "I've already had my fortune told by Mr. Xu in town, and he said this baby will definitely be a boy! My sister-in-law knows that Mr. Xu is always right!"
After saying that, he ran to Ye Daquan's house and said to Du Shi, "Sister-in-law, I also spent a few dozen coins to have Xiuxiu's fortune told. Master Xu said that Xiuxiu's baby is a girl."
"Oh dear, we used to say that Xiuxiu was guaranteed to have a son, but who would have thought she'd have a daughter too! Sister-in-law, don't be sad."
Du's lips twitched slightly: "I'm not sad. The girl is fine, as long as she's alive and well, obedient and sensible."
Wei Shi curled her lip and said, "Keep pretending! You'll be crying when you actually give birth to a worthless girl!"
She nodded: "Sigh, whatever you say! But my eldest grandson is the best."
After saying that, he left and then went around the village telling everyone that his daughter-in-law was pregnant with a golden grandson.
After making her rounds, before she even entered the house, Xiuxiu's mother rushed over and got into a fight with Wei Shi.
They said Ms. Wei cursed her daughter to give birth to a money-losing child! Her daughter will only give birth to sons, not money-losing children!
......
Ye Caiping didn't care at all about the situation on the Wei side.
They were busy preparing for their trip to the capital.
Ye Caiping went to the prefectural city and bought a few more servants: five strong male servants and three maids who were fourteen or fifteen years old.
The servants stayed in the village to guard the house, while the maids were for her and her two daughters.
Not only Ye Caiping was making preparations, but the entire eldest son's family was too, buying whatever they needed.
Madam Du also bought three servants: two maids and a servant boy. The maids were for herself and Jinhua, and the servant boy was for Ye Xuan.
November 15th.
Jin Hua and Xiao Yan had just come out of the jewelry shop in the small town and were strolling leisurely down the street.
Jin Hua's newly purchased maid was following behind, carrying several boxes.
Xiao Yan said, "Don't worry about going to the capital. I'll take care of the embroidery shop! We've even hired two more embroiderers, so we won't be short-handed."
Jin Hua smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."
"Jin Hua?" a voice suddenly rang out.
Jin Hua looked up and saw a handsome man of about eighteen or nineteen standing in front of her.
Upon seeing him, Jin Hua was slightly taken aback; the person who had come was actually Zhou Ziyang.
He hasn't changed at all; he's still as tall and handsome as ever.
But when Jin Hua looked at him, she felt no attraction whatsoever.
Zhou Ziyang was stunned when he saw Jin Hua.
Jin Hua seems even more beautiful now that I haven't seen her for half a year.
The once boisterous but somewhat rustic peasant girl is now dressed in gorgeous clothes, adorned with a peach blossom hair ornament, and followed by a maid. She looks every bit like a rich young lady.
But her biggest change was in her demeanor. Her eyes, which used to be too afraid to look him in the eye, were now bright and spirited, and her gaze towards him carried a hint of impatience.
This made Zhou Ziyang somewhat unrecognizable.
Xiao Yan broke the silence with a laugh: "This young master looks very familiar... Do you know Jin Hua?"
Jin Hua raised an eyebrow: "Oh, cousin, how can you be so forgetful? Isn't this my former employer, Zhou Ziyang, who tried to trick me into becoming his concubine? He even came to my house in person to try and scam me into marriage!"
"Oh... I remember now! It was him!" Xiao Yan exclaimed, as if suddenly realizing something.
Zhou Ziyang's handsome face had already frozen. Was it really necessary to say something so harsh?
