There is a saying that goes “Opportunities lost once lost can never come back again”.

There is also a saying that goes, "Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly."

But then again, if it was Mai Xiangnan who went to ask Mai Lao San for help, this might be feasible.

But Mai Xiangnan is very satisfied with his current life. He will definitely not ask Mai Laosan for help, and there is no need to do so.

As the second brother, Mai Xiangnan also has self-respect. How could he bow down for a mere few pieces of silver?

Even if life really becomes difficult, he will go to his eldest brother Mai Xiangdong's house for food, drink, and shelter, and will never go to find Mai Lao San, who is younger than him.

Mai Xiangdong: ...Come on, come on, in order to pretend to be poor, our family hasn’t eaten meat for more than a month.

Tian Guifen: What? Do you have any objection?

Mai Xiangdong: No, no! Absolutely not!

After Mai Xiangnan's reminder, Mai Laosan sobered up immediately and changed the subject:

"Second sister-in-law, I just run a small workshop, how much money can I make?

You know me. I like to pretend to be something more than what I actually am. But today we are all family, so I'm just not going to pretend anymore.

If it weren’t for the allowance sent back by Hongcai, I would hardly be able to make ends meet!

By the way, Dongxue, Uncle San will owe you this year's New Year's red envelope, and I will give it to you next year."

Mai Dongxue was enjoying his meat when he suddenly heard the bad news. He immediately felt that the meat in his bowl no longer tasted good.

Yang Huizhen naturally didn't believe it. She wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Mai Xiangnan:

"Okay, eat quickly. Niu Niu has been sticking to you lately. After you finish eating, go take care of the kids, and then Chunni will come to eat."

Niu Niu seemed to understand what his grandfather said. He immediately started crying and reached out to Yang Huizhen for a hug.

Although Yang Huizhen does not love her eldest daughter as much as her youngest daughter, Niu Niu is her first grandson.

As the saying goes, grandparents are close and their hearts are connected.

When her grandson cried, Yang Huizhen's heart was in turmoil. She could not care about anything else. She stopped eating and hurried to comfort the child.

Yang Huizhen thought that since Mai Laosan was in the village and couldn't run away, it was okay to talk about it later.

But Niu Niu is different. If such a small baby keeps crying, it would be terrible if his throat is damaged.

So, a good grandson is more important.

Others continued to eat and drink.

No one noticed. Shen Xingchen looked at Niu Niu with envy and thought that this baby was so cute.

Even when she's crying, she still makes people love her so much!

Oh, how nice it would be if he also had a little baby like this.

Suddenly, Shen Xingchen had an idea. He vaguely remembered someone saying that a baby like this who couldn't walk yet could bring "good luck" to people.

As for what kind of blessing it is, it is naturally the blessing related to having children.

Shen Xingchen decided that during this period of time, he would hug Niu Niu more and share in the good fortune.

Maybe his wish will come true next year.

Thinking of this, Shen Xingchen picked up another chicken leg for Mai Sui and said, "Wife, eat more and replenish yourself."

Chen Jiushan was a step too slow, and the last chicken leg had been picked up by Shen Xingchen.

Mai Chunni was still breastfeeding, and he wanted to feed Chunni some milk.

So Chen Jiushan said to Shen Xingchen: "Xingchen, what's wrong with the wheat ear? Is it pregnant?"

"What!" Before Shen Xingchen and Mai Sui could react, Mai Lao San was the first to exclaim.

"My girl, you're pregnant! This is so great! I'm finally going to be a grandfather!"

As for why it is grandfather and not grandfather-in-law, it is naturally because Shen Xingchen married into the family.

Although Shen Xingchen didn't know that he was a son-in-law, Mai Lao San knew!

Shen Xingchen was confused about whether Mai Sui was pregnant, so he didn't pay much attention to what Mai Lao San said.

To be honest, the "interaction" between him and Mai Sui is quite frequent, so maybe it's happening now.

Thinking of this, Shen Xingchen's eyes brightened up and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

However, Mai Sui's words shattered their fantasy: "Not pregnant!"

Mai Sui was very sure about this because there was no red line on her wrist.

This is a "mutation" of the human body after five thousand years.

If a woman is pregnant, a red line will appear on her wrist, surrounding it like a bracelet.

If you are pregnant with twins, there will be multiple red lines.

In a nutshell, there are as many red lines as there are pregnant women.

Moreover, you can tell the gender at a glance.

The red line that appears on the right wrist represents a girl.

The one that appears on the left wrist represents a boy.

It is definitely more accurate than the ultrasound in the hospital.

Because sometimes ultrasound cannot clearly see some key parts due to the position of the fetus.

But the red line will not, once it stabilizes, it will be very clear.

Moreover, you can know it the moment the fertilized egg is formed.

However, the red line may not be very obvious at the beginning and may be relatively "weak", which means there is a possibility of miscarriage.

As the fertilized egg develops into an embryo, the red line becomes stable.

In addition, red lines will appear not only on the wrists of expectant mothers, but also on the wrists of expectant fathers.

This means the child belongs to both of them.

Of course, it is also possible that the expectant mother has two red lines on her hand, but the expectant father only has one.

This means that there must be another "future father".

People’s mouths may lie, but the body’s reactions (red lines) will never lie!

Moreover, each pair of red lines, like human fingerprints, is unique. If you look closely, you can find that each pair of red lines is different.

This is definitely more accurate than traditional paternity testing.

And now, there is no red line on Mai Sui's wrist, and there is no red line on Shen Xingchen's wrist, so she is 100% not pregnant.

Mai Sui's body has been exposed to radiation for many years, so it is indeed a little difficult for her to get pregnant, but it is not impossible.

I can only say that our destiny has not arrived yet.

Upon seeing this, Mai Lao San glared at Shen Xingchen fiercely, as if he was looking at a "wicked father-in-law who dislikes his son-in-law for not being able to have children".

Shen Xingchen has been "married" into the family for so long, and she is no longer the poor little girl who knew nothing and could only be bullied for nothing.

He didn't glare at Mai Lao San, but turned around and looked at Mai Sui with grievance.

Those beautiful peach blossom eyes seemed to be able to speak, and Mai Sui was a little overwhelmed by them.

Then, she glared at Mai Lao San, as if to say, "How dare you glare at my man? Are you itching for trouble?"

Mai Lao San immediately got scared and picked up the wine glass, changing the subject: "Come on, big brother, let's drink!"

But before Mai Laosan could drink the wine, a shrill voice suddenly came from the door.

"dad!!!"

A woman with a haggard face, dry hair, thin body and disheveled appearance appeared at the door of Mai Laosan's house.

If it’s not Mylene, then who else could it be!

She was penniless and had walked all the way from the county.

As an only child, Mylin was spoiled by her parents since childhood and had never traveled such a long distance.

So, it took us a whole morning to reach Lianhua Village.
