Hearing Liu's words, Jiang Yuwei could only nod.
"Alright, since you've made your decision, I won't say anything more. After you marry Yao Guang, you'll live alone in the General's Mansion, while Granny Yao will live in Shili Pu. You won't have many opportunities to meet."
Jiang Yuwei looked at Liu and continued:
"She probably won't cause any trouble if we occasionally go home for holidays and get together."
Liu nodded with a smile.
As the two were talking, the carriage arrived at the Delicious City. Liu got off the carriage and went to the counter to busy herself with business, while Jiang Yuwei called on Ning Qiu to help her tidy up the backyard.
The two were busy cleaning up the leftovers from Granny Yao's meal when Ning Qiu suddenly vomited.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei quickly put down the bowls and plates she was holding and went over to pat Ning Qiu's back.
"What's wrong with you? Did you eat something bad last night? Why are you vomiting?"
Ning Qiu looked at the mess she had vomited on the floor and glanced at Jiang Yuwei, embarrassed.
"Madam, I'm so sorry. I don't know what's wrong with me. Lately, I've been experiencing acid reflux. I feel like I can't stop myself from vomiting up anything I just ate. Sometimes, even the slightest strange smell makes me nauseous and gag. I just couldn't control myself just now."
As she spoke, Ning Qiu looked at the filth on the ground with a troubled expression and frowned, saying:
"Madam, I'll go clean this up right away, ugh..."
Seeing Ning Qiu so disgusted, Jiang Yuwei waved her hand and said:
"It's alright. Ning Wu will be free to pack up and leave in a bit. Come and sit down, I'll take your pulse. Something's not right about you."
Upon hearing Jiang Yuwei's words, Ning Qiu quickly walked over and sat down beside her, extending her arm and looking at Jiang Yuwei with a nervous expression.
"Madam, I'm still young. Could I have contracted some strange illness?"
Jiang Yuwei ignored Ning Qiu's words and instead carefully placed her hand on Ning Qiu's pulse, taking it meticulously.
"Hmm? Ningqiu, how long has it been since you had your period?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Qiu stammered:
"It seems like it's been about two months... Madam, could I really have contracted some strange illness?"
Jiang Yuwei patted her wrist lightly and smiled:
"You're a mother now, yet you still talk nonsense all day long without thinking. How can you curse yourself like that?"
Upon hearing Jiang Yuwei's words, Ning Qiu's eyes widened in disbelief, and she exclaimed:
"Madam, are you talking about me? Am I pregnant?"
Jiang Yuwei smiled and nodded.
Ning Qiu jumped up excitedly, but Jiang Yuwei quickly stopped her.
"You really don't know your place. How can a pregnant woman jump around like that? You should change your job in the future. I'll find a suitable caretaker to replace you at the stall. You can stay in the yard and help Qiuyue tidy up the house."
Ning Qiu happily took Jiang Yuwei's hand.
"Madam, it's alright. Apart from vomiting, I don't feel any other difference. I can work, I'll be fine."
Jiang Yuwei slapped her hand and said reproachfully:
"It will be too late if something happens. Right now, you're still in the early stages of pregnancy, so just focus on protecting the baby. You don't need to worry about anything else."
Hearing this, Ning Qiu happily patted her belly and said with a smile:
"Yes, madam, you know better than I do. I'll listen to you. I'll go tell my parents-in-law this good news right away!"
With that, Ning Qiu turned and ran out. Jiang Yuwei, watching from behind, called out in fear:
"Slow down and take care of yourself!"
Ning Qiu waved her hand without turning her head and said:
"My child isn't that precious!"
After saying that, Ning Qiu quickly went upstairs to the second floor. Seeing that Aunt Zhou and Uncle Youcai were busy greeting guests, she didn't go up to disturb them. Instead, she ran up to Ning Daya and said with a smile:
"Sister-in-law, do you see anything different about my belly?"
Ning Daya, while tidying up her things on the table, glanced up at Ning Qiu's stomach and asked in confusion:
"It's just a belly, what's the difference?"
Ning Qiu chuckled.
"Your eldest nephew lives here!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Daya was startled and stared blankly at Ning Qiu's stomach. After a while, she reacted and exclaimed happily:
"Ning Qiu, you're pregnant!"
Ning Qiu nodded excitedly. Ning Wu, who was not far away, heard Ning Daya's shout and, disregarding everything else, dropped what he was doing, rushed over, and hugged Ning Qiu tightly.
"Qiu Mei'er, are you really pregnant?"
Ning Qiu smiled and nodded in Ning Wu's arms.
Ning Daya, who was standing to the side, was also very happy for her. Now that she had gotten married a few months earlier than her and was pregnant earlier, it made her, as the first wife, seem a little behind.
Thinking this, Ning Daya looked down at her empty stomach and sighed helplessly. Tie Zhu, who was helping Yao Guang watch the stall, saw Ning Daya's disappointment from afar.
After taking care of the last customer, he came over, grabbed Ning Daya's hand, and smiled:
"Da Ya, don't worry. Now that Madam has asked me to move back to the General's Mansion, I think we'll have a child soon."
Upon hearing this, Ning Daya smiled and nodded at Tie Zhu.
"You'll be an uncle soon, aren't you happy?"
Tie Zhu gripped Da Ya's hand tightly, looked at Ning Qiu and Ning Wu, who were beaming with happiness, and nodded with a smile:
"I'm happy, and I'll be even happier if you get pregnant with our child in the future."
Ning Daya blushed upon hearing Tie Zhu's words and gently patted his chest, signaling him to stop talking.
Aunt Zhou and Uncle Youcai also heard the commotion, but they had their own work to do and couldn't leave it behind. So, while they were busy taking care of the guests, they craned their necks to look at Ning Qiu.
After finally finishing serving the last group of guests, the elderly couple ran happily to Ning Qiu's side to confirm with her.
"Ning Qiu, say what you just said! Say it again!"
Ning Qiu and Ning Wu exchanged a glance and said in unison:
"Father, Mother, you're going to have a grandson!"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhou was so moved that tears streamed down her face.
"Good, good, I want to hold my grandson, I want to hold my grandson."
He stepped forward and grabbed Ning Qiu's hand tightly, saying excitedly:
“From now on, we will do all your work. You just need to do some light work and take good care of your pregnancy.”
Ning Qiu smiled and wiped away the tears from Aunt Zhou's eyes.
"Mother, don't worry. Madam just told me that I don't need to come to the shop to help anymore. I can just stay in the courtyard and clean the house with Qiuyue."
Aunt Zhou nodded with a smile through her tears, and didn't forget to turn back to Uncle Youcai, whose eyes were already red with tears, and say:
"Honey, I always said our family needed a new member, and here it is!"
