As someone who's been through it all, she could tell at a glance that Lu Rou was indeed pregnant, even though she was wearing a rather thick cotton coat.
She had originally wanted to mock Liu Yansong for not being able to come up with ten yuan, but then she thought it was a good thing that he was willing to let his wife manage his money, so she just pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
"Alright then, when your parents come back, be sure to remind them not to forget my 10 yuan."
You know my family's situation. My son and daughter-in-law are both working, and I'm just an old woman with no income. Saving money isn't easy, and I'm definitely worried about something unexpected happening to it.
Seeing that she had softened her attitude, Liu Yansong repeatedly agreed.
"Yes, yes, you're right, Auntie. I know how hard it is for you. I'll tell my parents as soon as they get back. I'll definitely remember it. Don't worry!"
Aunt Zhang was finally satisfied and let Liu Yansong go.
"Alright, alright, that's enough. It's getting late, I need to hurry back and cook, otherwise my son and daughter-in-law won't have lunch when they get back."
But we don't know when your parents will be back, so we'll probably have to wait. Or you could just take your wife to the hospital to find them. Your wife is pregnant, and it's not good for her to stand outside in this cold weather..."
Liu Yansong really didn't want to talk to Aunt Zhang anymore, so he was too lazy to listen to her rambling on.
"Okay, okay, I understand, Auntie. Please stop talking and go home to cook. I know what I'm doing."
Aunt Zhang originally thought that as someone with experience, she knew more and wanted to say a few more words, but seeing Liu Yansong's attitude, she was no longer willing to say anything more.
So she shut up, grabbed her shopping basket, and went home. She didn't say anything, but she was inwardly cursing her bad luck.
Liu Yansong watched Zhang Da Niang's retreating figure, his face gloomy, lost in thought, until Lu Rou called him several times to pull him back to reality.
"Liu Yansong!"
Lu Rou rarely called him by his full name like that, and her tone wasn't very friendly, which brought him back to his senses.
"Ah! Hmm? Rou'er, you called me? What's wrong?"
Lu Rou frowned, her eyes filled with impatience as she looked at Liu Yansong.
"What are you doing? I've been calling you for ages and you haven't answered. Who was that old woman just now? What does she want with you? Is she trying to make you pay off your parents' debts?"
"Speaking of which, your parents don't seem like the type to be broke. Are they trying to trick us again, or are they teaming up with outsiders to scam you?"
As Lu Rou spoke, she became increasingly convinced that this was indeed what she had thought. Her expression gradually turned serious, and a hint of ruthlessness appeared in her eyes.
"Liu Yansong, let me tell you, don't forget what you promised me. I'm carrying your Liu family's grandson in my belly right now. If you come back and suffer again, I won't stand for it!"
Before they went home, the two had already discussed it and decided that the elderly couple would take care of Lu Rou and cover her living expenses.
Because Liu Yansong lost his job, his previous wages were all in the hands of his mother, Zhang Cuihua. The last half month's wages didn't last long, and the two of them gradually ran out of money, so they had no choice but to go home.
Liu Yansong knew what was going on, but he was still annoyed to hear Lu Rou say it so bluntly.
However, in order to successfully enter the house, he had to coax Lu Rou, so he quickly went over and pulled her close.
"Good Rou'er, I know, don't worry. Let my parents handle their own affairs. Besides, you're right, you're carrying their grandson in your belly. You're the most precious person in our family..."
