Hearing her elder brother inviting her to go to the county town to eat roasted lamb with them, Chen Xuanxuan nodded without thinking.

"Brother, that's great, when are we going to leave? I haven't eaten meat for a long time at home, especially lamb. I feel like I haven't smelled lamb for several years..."

Chen Daming laughed softly when he heard her complaining, "Hahaha, our godfather has been in a very good mood these days because our godfather's daughter-in-law was recently found to be pregnant. The doctor said she is three months pregnant and this baby is probably a boy."

"After my mother learned the news, she told my godfather that we must set up a banquet at home to make it lively. We don't need too many people to come to this banquet, just a few of us close relatives, and we can go together..."

When Chen Xuanxuan heard this, she nodded in sudden realization and said, "No wonder!"

Mutton is more expensive than pork. If you want to hold a banquet and consume one or two roasted whole lambs, the cost is about 70 or 80 taels of silver.

This amount of money is simply an astronomical figure for ordinary farmers.

Because ordinary farmers, ... a family of 20 or 30 people can't earn this much money in a year.

"Well,... Third sister, since you have agreed, let's pack up and leave quickly!"

"By the way, don't tell your husband or your parents-in-law about this. As for your sons, don't tell them either. Let's pack up now and go directly..." Although

Chen Xuanxuan didn't quite understand the intention of her eldest brother's words, she hesitated for a moment and nodded.

However, Gu Yanzhang, who had been watching her closely for 365 days a year, followed her without thinking when he saw her getting ready to go out with his brother. "Wife, where are you going?"

Chen Xuanxuan was stunned for a moment, and after a while she said, "My brother and I are going to see my mother."

"My mother said that she missed me after not visiting her for such a long time, and she asked me to go to dinner with her..."

Gu Yanzhang said excitedly without thinking when he heard this, "Wife, then I will go with you. I don't want to have that dinner, I'm just worried about you. ... I'm still a little worried if you two go."

Hearing the man in front of her say this, Chen Xuanxuan was puzzled at the time. What does it mean to be worried? What's wrong with going with her brother?

However, before Chen Xuanxuan could say no, Gu Yanzhang grabbed her hand, packed a few sets of clothes, and then took her out of the house with a big package.

Chen Daming, who was waiting outside the house, saw his posture and immediately asked, "Brother-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

"What are you going to do?"

Gu Yanzhang answered seriously, "Brother-in-law, you are taking my wife out, and I don't know why I am always uneasy and uneasy. So I thought it through, I will go wherever she goes!"

"If you want to take my wife to have dinner with my mother-in-law, then I will go too..."

Chen Daming really couldn't persuade him, he hesitated for a while, and asked him to get on the donkey cart.

After the three of them got on the donkey cart, they headed straight for the county town.

The wobbly donkey cart took more than two hours to reach its destination on the not-so-ordinary mountain road.

In other words, they arrived at the doorstep of the Huang Mansion where Old Lady Liu currently lived.

Since she remarried, Old Lady Liu has been living like a fairy. She had no one to serve her before, but now she has a personal maid to serve her.

In addition, she also has a personal nanny who serves her every day. The old nanny only does some leg-pounding and back-kneading work.

Now, when Old Lady Liu heard the news that her daughter had arrived, she quickly asked her personal nanny to go to the gate of the courtyard and bring Chen Xuanxuan and Chen Daming, the two siblings, over.

Chen Daming and Chen Xuanxuan, under the guidance of the old nanny, went straight to the room of old lady Liu.

When old lady Liu saw Chen Xuanxuan, she was so excited that her eyes were red.

As for her son-in-law, Gu Yanzhang, old lady Liu no longer had the energy to care about him.

"My dear, it's only been a few days since we last met, why do I feel that you have lost weight?"

Chen Xuanxuan was tightly held by the arm by old lady Liu, and she was looked up and down, left and right. She still felt a little awkward in her heart.

Because a long time ago, she had never been so close to anyone.

Even after she traveled to this strange and uncomfortable era, the way she and her cheap husband interacted was actually that of treating each other with respect.

Even when they slept in the same bed, she and him did not have any particularly intimate actions.

Because that's what she thought.

The medical level in this place is quite backward.

If she really slept in the same bed with the man next to her, and something happened accidentally, then once she got pregnant, she would be in great danger in the future.

Because there are no maternity and child hospitals here, and the gynecologists here are not as advanced as those in her previous society. The doctors, midwives, and barefoot doctors here all rely on empiricism.

In the treatment of pregnant women, they actually cannot use surgery to get out of trouble.

Therefore, once a pregnant woman encounters an emergency, she can only leave it to fate. Life or death depends entirely on the luck of the pregnant woman.

Chen Xuanxuan's thinking is still very clear. It is better

to live than to die.

Although living in this poor place, it is not as comfortable and free as before.

However, compared to the dead, being alive is still quite happy.

Chen Xuanxuan now has a very simple logic in her mind. That is, how can you experience happiness without a living person?

Therefore, in the past few years, in order not to sleep with the man next to her, Chen Xuanxuan spent money all day long, using wealth and other things to attract his attention.

He was kept busy every day.

He was kept thinking about how to make a lot of money, how to eat well, wear well, use good things, and how to make his family live a good life...

There is no doubt that all the scams in the past few years were successful.

However, recently, it is very likely that... Things at home have settled down, and Chen Xuanxuan found that the man next to her has been staring at her particularly closely recently. At night, he always makes some excessive demands.
