On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Yu returned to her parents' home and brought back good news.
She pulled Wang Lan aside and whispered in the room, "Mother, I'm pregnant."
Wang Lan was overjoyed; her cloudy eyes lit up for a moment as she pulled her youngest daughter to look.
Lu Yu could never gain weight no matter how much she ate at the Lu family's house, and she wasn't very fair-skinned either. But after being at the Li family for over a year, she now looks much fairer and more delicate.
Wang Lan was pleased, "You've gained weight, that's good. You should gain some weight when you're pregnant, but don't get too fat, otherwise it will be difficult to give birth if the baby is too big in your belly."
"Mother, don't worry." Lu Yu hugged her mother, unable to bear seeing her mother's graying temples. "Father-in-law and he are both very meticulous. Just leave everything to them. We don't need to worry."
"Okay, okay, I'm relieved now." Wang Lan looked at her daughter with affection, as if she wanted to etch her daughter's image into her very bones.
That night, she drank two cups of wine for the first time ever, and kept nagging Li Changpu, "Yu Niang is a quiet person. You should be more understanding of her in the future. She's not a bad person. As long as you treat her well, she will treat you well in return."
Li Changpu held Lu Yu's hand, her ears turning slightly red. "Mother-in-law, don't worry, I will be good to Yu Niang for the rest of my life."
Lu Yu's face flushed red, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at anyone.
In high spirits, Zhao Fang also drank a few glasses of wine. Qin Xiaozhou took out plum wine and poured some for Lu Yan and Qin Jinxiu. "Try it. As long as you don't overindulge, drinking occasionally is fine."
Lu Xiaosi is almost three years old now. He runs around the table, climbs onto Lu Yunxing's back, and stares intently at the wine glass, saying, "Second brother, second brother, I want some too."
Lu Yunxing took the chopsticks, dipped them in wine, and dabbed them on Lu Xiaosi's stone. Lu Xiaosi immediately stuck out his tongue and fanned himself, his eyes brimming with tears, "Mother, Second Brother is bullying me."
