Chapter 156 Su Qinglian is pregnant
In order to be with Su Qinglian, Xu Lei stubbornly refused to give in.
As Xu's mother lay in bed, he said with absolute certainty that Su Qinglian was pregnant...
He stayed by Xu's mother's side all night, and neither of them slept well. Xu's mother cried almost all night, and she wanted to cry whenever she thought about it.
“Look at Yuan Zheng… If you could be half as successful as him, I’d be content.”
"Hey, isn't it the same if I make him my brother-in-law?"
"You're still talking back..."
As dawn broke, Xu Lei brought some food to serve his mother, while his father watched from the side.
"You know how unreasonable Su Qinglian is, aren't you? Are you really sure?"
"I've made up my mind, I want to be with him."
"If she marries into the family and does nothing but stay at her parents' house every day, would you agree to that?"
"Then I'll go stay there too."
"You good-for-nothing."
Xu Lei said, "Mom, stop scolding me. Eat something. You didn't sleep much last night, and you have dark circles under your eyes."
After finishing half a bowl of porridge, Xu's mother said, "Forget it, forget it. If you really like Su Qinglian, as long as you don't regret it, your father and I can't stop you. You already have a child, what are we supposed to do?"
"Mom and Dad, really?"
"But Su Qinglian must promise that she won't go back to her parents' house all the time, and she won't hit or scold you all the time. She has to treat you like a man. If she's still as domineering as before, I will absolutely not agree to your relationship."
Once Xu's mother made her decision, Su Jianguo and Luo Caixia also bought some things and went to visit her, offering a lot of apologies.
In the village, Luo Caixia and Xu's mother had always had a good relationship and often chatted together. When the rumors came out before, they affected their relationship to some extent.
But once the explanation was cleared up, there was basically no problem, and they were still like good sisters.
Luo Caixia felt particularly embarrassed when she brought gifts to the Xu family this time. It was clear that Xu's mother had also come to her senses and did not make things too difficult for Su Qinglian because she was pregnant.
They discussed how to finalize the matter in a very straightforward and polite manner.
Xu's mother asked Luo Caixia, "You can make any requests you have, and we will try our best to meet them. You know our family situation; we are not a wealthy family, and we cannot afford too much money."
"The 100,000 yuan dowry is just a formality; I'll still give it to Qinglian, all of it to her... And about our house being demolished; construction should start at the end of this month. One of the apartments allocated to us will be for Qinglian, and the deed will be directly given to her..."
Hearing this, Xu's mother felt a little relieved. "Sister Luo, it's not that I want to be the bad guy, I..."
"I understand, I understand. Let's make things clear. If Qinglian ever treats Xu Lei badly again, I'll definitely beat her up."
Su Qinglian and Xu Lei stood to the side for a long time, glancing at each other.
Xia Yutong and Su Yuanzheng sat outside basking in the sun. Xu Lei's house had many chrysanthemums that bloomed late in autumn, some red and some yellow, with a delicate fragrance.
Both of them knew that Su Qinglian was faking her pregnancy, but neither of them really wanted to expose her. Su Qinglian's good life was a happy event for the family.
If she lies about being pregnant, then marriage will inevitably be on the agenda.
The wedding is set to take place at the end of this month, and the news spread like wildfire throughout the village.
They were all children from the village, and most of the elders weren't so feudal. Since both sides were willing, there was nothing more to say.
But there are also some old-fashioned ones.
"She's already been married, why would she marry again? If a woman marries twice, when she goes to hell and meets Yama, he'll have his minions split her in two, one half for each family. It's so pitiful!"
"Really?"
"Really?"
"With Su Qinglian's personality, she can't get along with anyone. Xu Lei was young and naive, and he was deceived by Su Qinglian."
"Let's see how long they can stay good."
With their marriage plans finalized, Su Qinglian and Xu Lei no longer cared about what others thought, and were always together, inseparable.
Xu's mother was also a good person. Every few days, she would kill a chicken and have Xu Lei bring the chicken soup to Su Qinglian in a thermos.
Su Qinglian was clearly not pregnant, and her relationship with Xu Lei was limited to kissing. After drinking chicken soup a few times, she felt very sorry for the dead chicken.
That night, as the night grew deep and quiet, the small village was enveloped in a stillness. Su Qinglian couldn't sleep, so she called Xu Lei.
“Come pick me up on your electric scooter.”
"ah?"
Xu Lei was fast asleep in his room. "What's wrong, Sister Qinglian?"
"Still calling me 'sister'?"
Xu Lei's address was subconscious; "What's wrong? Can't you sleep?"
"You're the only one who can sleep soundly. You're so carefree. Your mother kills chickens for me every few days, and several chickens have died."
Xu Lei laughed, "So what if he's dead?"
"Then I have to do right by these chickens."
"What do you want? Should I dig a hole for it and bury it in peace?"
Su Qinglian frowned. "Xu Lei, do you want to?"
What are you thinking about?
What do you think?
Xu Lei belatedly realized what was happening, but he also fell silent. "Sister Qinglian..."
"Let's go to a hotel. We've already told this lie, so it's all in the past now."
"There are still two weeks left until the end of the month, are we... getting a little anxious?"
Su Qinglian said unhappily, "What do you mean? Do you think I wanted this?"
"No, it's just that we're not married yet..."
"What does it matter? My brother's wife got pregnant before we got married, it's fine. I don't mind, so why do you mind..."
Xu Lei suddenly fell silent. Su Qinglian continued, "Let me tell you, if you want to be with me, don't be so coy. Act like a man. Let's go to town, get a room, and take care of what needs to be done. That way, we can at least make up for the chickens your mother killed."
Xu Lei had no such thoughts at all, but Su Qinglian's eagerness made him itchy with desire as well. "Sister Qinglian..."
Have you arrived yet?
"Are you sure? I'm a man, and I'm the one who benefits in this kind of situation."
Su Qinglian thought to herself, it's really hard to say who will benefit from this.
"It's okay, I don't mind. Come pick me up quickly, I'll put on a coat and head out the door."
The light in Xia Yutong's room was still on, and she was feeding little Su Yixia milk.
Little Su Yixia is getting chubbyer every day. When she is breastfeeding, Su Yuanzheng sits behind her, and she lies in the man's arms, using him as a cushion.
A gentle gaze fell upon her. Perhaps she had just been woken up to breastfeed, Xia Yutong's eyes showed a hint of weariness. She blinked her big eyes, looking slightly tired.
But then, sensing something behind her, she turned around and met Su Yuanzheng's eyes.
"you……"
"I don't want to, but I can't help it, Tongtong."
After Su Yixia finished drinking her milk, Su Yuanzheng took the child and placed her in the cradle next to him.
