Chapter 20 Son or Daughter
On his way back to the village, Su Yuanzheng encountered Chen Xinya, who blocked his path.
She suddenly blocked the van's path. He slammed on the brakes, a cigarette dangling from his lips, his deep eyes fixed on her.
There was a bag of grapes in the passenger seat. The man didn't get out of the car, but honked the horn.
The sudden horn blare startled Chen Xinya, who opened her arms wide.
"Expedition Brother, come down."
"If you're going to die, find a secluded place."
Before the man got out of the car, Chen Xinya walked to his car and stroked his arm all the way to his window. "Xia Yutong doesn't really like you. Look at my chat history with her."
She said excitedly, "You deleted me, but Yuanzheng, I love you. I don't want to watch you get scammed, so I had someone remove the files."
"Look..."
Chen Xinya pulled out the chat history and handed it in through the car window.
She scrolled through the notes, and Su Yuanzheng glanced at them before grabbing her wrist and pushing her away. "What do you want?"
"Brother Expedition, you've been fooled by her, do you realize that?"
After waiting for so long, and finally seeing her turn around, he still wanted to do everything he could to give her the best. He even called Shang Xingchuan over to tell her one by one that Xia Yutong wasn't sincere towards him.
He held the cigarette between his teeth, making the butt slightly damp. "Even if she doesn't truly love me, the fact that she's willing to be with me is enough."
"She's sick, she's definitely addicted to sleeping with you, she's despicable..."
"And what about you?"
Su Yuanzheng met her bloodshot eyes and said, "You're the one who's despicable."
After saying that, he stepped on the gas, and the car sped off, leaving behind a cloud of dust and exhaust fumes that made Chen Xinya cough.
She coughed until tears streamed down her face, chased after the car, kicked a pebble and fell to the ground, crying out, "Brother Yuanzheng, you've been fooled by him."
"Expedition Brother..."
Su Yuanzheng carried grapes home, looking very unwell. Su Qinglian was squatting at the door washing vegetables. As soon as Xiao Mi saw him, she ran over and hugged his leg, "Uncle, let's do a puzzle together."
"My uncle has something to do."
"My aunt is about to give birth to a baby brother. Does that mean my uncle doesn't like me anymore?"
"I like it."
Su Qinglian spends 360 out of 365 days a year at her parents' home. She doesn't get along with Liu Yaozong's mother, and they argue whenever they stay together for too long.
Since the two houses were close by, she didn't bother going back.
Originally, Su Qinglian's mother-in-law had some reservations about her frequently staying at her parents' home, but when she learned that the railway bridge would pass over their house, she agreed to Su Qinglian's return and wanted her to benefit from her parents' home.
Su Qinglian herself had the same idea.
She doesn't have a regular job. Liu Yaozong works at a nearby power plant. Recently, Su Yuanzheng started his own business and is preparing to start a business, so he only comes to help out when he has free time to earn some extra money.
Before Su Qinglian could even speak to Luo Caixia, Luo Caixia took the initiative to bring up the issue of the allocation of the demolished houses, making Su Qinglian feel very guilty.
Along with that, I started to find Xia Yutong a little more agreeable.
Su Qinglian offered, "She drank some chicken soup and went to sleep. She didn't eat anything. Give it to me, I'll wash it and take it in later."
"I'll do it."
"No need for formalities among family."
Su Qinglian snatched the bag from his hand. "How am I a married woman now? Do you treat me like an outsider?"
"That's not what I meant."
Su Yuanzheng squatted down and picked up Xiaomi. "But if that's how you think, there's nothing I can do."
Su Qinglian looked up and saw that the person had already gone inside. She placed Xiaomi at the door and said, "Shh, Auntie is sleeping."
"When will my aunt give birth to a little brother?"
"I hope it's a little sister."
Xia Yutong was exhausted from being a new mother, and she would feel nauseous even in the middle of the night due to a nausea in her stomach.
I probably hadn't eaten much all day, and I was really hungry at night.
After vomiting, she collapsed limply onto Su Yuanzheng.
She was wearing a slip dress with a cotton cardigan over it, covering her arms. The cool, breathable fabric made her long hair casually draped around her waist, and she was breathing slightly heavily.
Su Yuanzheng gently stroked the woman's back with his large hand, "Are you hungry?"
Xia Yutong was too embarrassed to tell him she was hungry, but if he asked, she wouldn't be polite and would just say, "Hungry..."
What would you like to eat?
"Duck blood vermicelli soup, duck leg fried rice."
Put on your clothes, and I'll take you shopping.
The town's night market stalls have all these things, and even though it's late, the stalls are still open.
Xia Yutong couldn't stand the smell of cooking fumes, so Su Yuanzheng put a mask on her.
Halfway there, she felt very uncomfortable and quickly took off her mask.
The wind was hot, blowing on her face as she drove from a side road onto the main road, the streetlights shining on her face.
Xia Yutong reached out, her hair disheveled by the wind.
Her face was deathly pale, with a sickly beauty; she also looked somewhat haggard from sleeping all day.
Su Yuanzheng held her hand and said, "Be careful, don't get blown away by the wind."
Xia Yutong laughed: "Am I that weak?"
"You look very weak right now. Avoid being exposed to the wind; it's not good for you."
"hot……"
"Turn on the air conditioner."
"It's boring."
The most comfortable thing is a natural breeze.
The wind was so strong that a few strands of hair blew to Xia Yutong's lips. When she looked at him, her eyes lit up.
The summer night was quiet, and Su Yuanzheng had just gotten out of bed, but that didn't diminish his clear silhouette in the darkness.
Xia Yutong reached out her hand, and Su Yuanzheng instinctively turned his face away, his eyes darting around. "What?"
"Can I touch you?"
He then sat up straight and let her touch him.
"Tongtong, don't look at me like that."
He really wanted to kiss her, to press her down in the passenger seat and kiss her all over.
He had just tasted the sweetness of success, had become a man, when a child blocked his path...
—Don't you find it strange that she changed so quickly?
—What was this woman like before? Would she be willing to go to the countryside with you and live a hard life? Does she have some ulterior motive and want to mess with you?
—She wanted to sleep with Zhou Hengzhi, so why did she suddenly change her mind after sleeping with you?
"She likes me."
—Su Yuanzheng, a grown man shouldn't be love-struck. This is all for your own good. What if she stabs you in the back?
Faced with Xu Lei and Shang Xingchuan's questioning, he didn't care at all, "Then let her stab me."
Xu Lei, Shang Xingchuan: ...
Crazy old man!
Xia Yutong noticed his face suddenly darken and assumed that she had upset him by touching him.
She leaned over the passenger seat and pulled her hand back.
Su Yuanzheng asked, "Are you feeling unwell again?"
"Su Yuanzheng, would you prefer a son or a daughter?"
"daughter."
He answered without hesitation, and Xia Yutong smiled, "It's a daughter."
She sat up slightly and tied her hair up in a high ponytail with a hair tie on her wrist.
Wearing a light-colored spaghetti strap nightgown and a cardigan, her hair was tied up, making her look much more energetic.
What name would you like to give your daughter?
"name……"
Su Yuanzheng was silent for a moment, then said, "Yi Xia."
Xia Yutong's eyes lit up, as if they were glowing. "What?"
"Yi Xia, Su Yi Xia".
He reached out and gently touched the softest spot on her head.
