Chapter 43 We Must Make It Big
After Su Qinglian finished speaking, she lay in bed that night unable to sleep.
Because she was born beautiful and her parents died early, many people wanted to see her fail. She still had parents to rely on and her younger brother to make her proud.
So what about Xia Yutong? She has nothing.
The next day, Su Yuanzheng continued working in the yard before dawn. Su Qinglian stood in the yard and asked him, "You're not making a swing, are you? A swing doesn't need so much wood."
"A cradle, make a cradle for the baby."
"No wonder, seeing how much wood you've cut out, it's clear you're planning something big."
Su Qinglian went into the kitchen, where Luo Caixia was cooking for Xia Yutong.
In terms of diet, Luo Caixia plans to have the whole family follow her tastes and make some appropriate adjustments.
Seeing Su Qinglian arrive, Luo Caixia was a little afraid that she would cause trouble, so she deliberately said, "She's pregnant, we can't just let it go. If she can't eat anything and keeps vomiting like this every day, I'm afraid something will happen to the baby."
"Okay, you do it."
Su Qinglian didn't say anything and sat down to the side.
Luo Caixia rarely saw her so sensible, so she nodded.
After sitting for a while, Su Qinglian heard someone coming down the stairs and quickly went out. Xia Yutong got up very early, probably because of pregnancy symptoms. She felt uncomfortable as soon as she woke up and was so nauseous that she couldn't sleep at all.
It's so painful. Why? I haven't had a single good day since I transmigrated. I was immediately taken back to the countryside to watch a big shot start a business. I was engrossed in watching when a new life came into my belly.
Even though I knew the plot and it was expected, it's still so hard to bear. Why is pregnancy so painful...?
Xia Yutong was holding onto the handrail as she came down the stairs, her vision a little blurry. Suddenly, Su Qinglian stood in front of her and said, "Take it easy. If you're not feeling well, lie down."
"Um."
Xia Yutong forced herself to sit down in the living room, rubbed her forehead, and slumped weakly onto the table.
Su Qinglian asked, "Did you and Chen Xinya have a fight? What did you argue about?"
Xia Yutong glanced at Su Qinglian and answered directly, "She likes expeditions, so she turned against me."
"I see."
No wonder they're smearing her like this, stabbing her in the back.
Xia Yutong guessed that Su Qinglian was about to start praising Su Yuanzheng, subtly mocking her for trying to climb the social ladder, but Su Qinglian just sighed.
"When interacting with people, you have to be careful. You can know a person's face but not their heart. Since you feel that she has a problem, you should not associate with her in the future."
Xia Yutong was surprised, "Sister..."
"People who seem to have a good temper aren't necessarily good people. Chen Xinya looks gentle and weak, and knows how to please people, but the kind of people who are like that are the most cunning. I dislike being around people who have no temper."
As Su Qinglian spoke, she shook her head. "Precisely because she has no temper, you can't figure out where she's up to. It's hard for you to understand her. On the contrary, she can figure you out completely and easily do something to you without making a sound. That kind of person is the most terrifying."
Early in the morning, Xia Yutong's brain went blank.
No, didn't she and Su Qinglian not get along?
Su Qinglian is always being sarcastic and sarcastic towards her, what's wrong with her today?
Xia Yutong instinctively wanted to ask, but Su Qinglian said directly, "Never mind, I won't hide it from you anymore. It was that Chen Xinya who wanted to sow discord and spoke ill of you in front of me. No matter what, I'm still helping you. You and Yuanzheng are the real members of our Su family. She's so self-righteous. I told her to get lost!"
After saying that, Su Qinglian went outside without waiting for Xia Yutong to speak.
Luo Caixia brought over the food, "What do you mean by 'get lost'? Qinglian, what were you saying to Yutong again?"
Xia Yutong's eyes widened in surprise. Luo Caixia said, "Ignore her. She's a woman in her thirties, going through menopause."
"Sister wasn't talking about me, she was talking about someone else."
"Yeah?"
"Yes... my sister has always been very good to me. It was just that I was immature before."
Su Yuanzheng came in to get his tools and happened to hear this voice. His heart warmed. "How are you? Are you still feeling unwell?"
"I'll go with you today."
Xia Yutong wasn't feeling well, but she didn't want to stay at home either; she got tired of staying in one place for too long.
After breakfast, they got in the car and went to the fields with Su Yuanzheng. The area where the roses were planted had expanded considerably. Looking at the lush and increasingly verdant rose bushes, Xia Yutong could imagine the descriptions in the novel.
This tycoon built a business during his most desperate times, relying on brute force and an indomitable spirit, going all in.
Because of her change, everything was brought forward, and Xia Yutong couldn't help but feel a little impatient. What if the time was brought forward, and he wouldn't be able to achieve such great success?
She stared at Su Yuanzheng, somewhat lost in thought.
A man would feel inferior if she stared at him for too long. He asked her, "Are you hot?"
"Um."
"Let me help you inside to rest."
Inside the cabin, it was warm in winter and cool in summer. Su Yuanzheng had placed a small bed there, and a pink curtain hung above the window. When drawn, it could block out the light; when left open, one could see the scenery outside.
In this weather, you'd sweat even sitting down, but Xia Yutong was probably weak and prone to feeling cold. She could see that Su Yuanzheng was covered in sweat, even his forehead, but her hands were still a bit cold.
"expedition!"
"Why……"
Xu Lei called out to him from outside, "They're here, come and take a look."
"good."
Su Yuanzheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and squatted down next to her. "There's a kettle and an electric fan over there. If it's still hot, I'll install an air conditioner for you later."
"Need not."
He looked worried, afraid that she wouldn't be used to it. "Tongtong, I'm sorry to have to make things difficult for you with me."
She never liked staying in the countryside, preferring to live in the school dormitory rather than come back, and she disliked living in the countryside long-term, feeling it didn't suit her personality as a young person. But this time...
"Go ahead and get busy, Su Yuanzheng. I'll keep myself occupied. I've brought everything."
"If you feel nauseous, eat a little."
Su Yuanzheng found a white ceramic jar, put the dried apricots he had made into it, and said that eating a piece when he felt nauseous would relieve his stomach nausea.
A man who is this meticulous is truly remarkable.
Just then, after the man finished speaking, he placed his hands on either side of the chair, looked at the woman in front of him, and couldn't help but lower his head to touch her lips.
After returning to his hometown, Su Yuanzheng rarely showed affection to her. He was busy with his career from the beginning. Later, when she was pregnant and feeling unwell, he would run around every day, sweating profusely.
After kissing her once, the man couldn't resist and continued downwards, gently biting her lips.
"Expedition! Expedition!"
Su Yuanzheng was flustered and was stroking her back, trying to deepen the kiss, but he had no choice but to let go.
"Wait for me, I'm done..."
"You go about your business, I'll wait for you."
Everything went much more smoothly than she had imagined. Xia Yutong watched the man leave and breathed a sigh of relief.
