Wealthy Beauty in the 60s

Xia Xiao nodded after hearing Zheng Xianghong’s words, knowing it was early days and Zheng Xianghong couldn’t tell yet.

Sun Yuhua then stretched out one hand, "Mom, can you check me as well? I’m two days late for my period."

Zheng Xianghong also took Sun Yuhua’s pulse and immediately said, "You watch out these next few days, I’ll check again in a couple of days."

In her heart, Zheng Xianghong felt a slight disappointment. She really wanted to diagnose a pregnancy, but whether it was her own limitations, the early timing for Xia Xiao and Sun Yuhua, or that they weren’t pregnant, Zheng Xianghong hadn’t been able to determine anything.

Xia Xiao wasn’t disappointed, as she had an inkling of her condition. Sun Yuhua, on the other hand, was very disappointed, but she also thought it might be too early to tell, so she still held out hope.

When Zheng Xianghong and Sun Yuhua were not around, Xia Xiao quietly asked Shitou, "Is sister Yu Hua pregnant?"

"She’s not," Shitou said.

Xia Xiao simply responded with an "Oh" and asked no further, seeing that Sun Yuhua really wanted a child, or rather, another son.

Xia Xiao gently caressed her stomach. Whether it was a boy or a girl didn’t matter, as it was her first child. She did not particularly hope for a son, but she still wondered whether the child would resemble Gao Jiaxing or her.

If it resembled her, it wouldn’t matter whether it was a boy or a girl. If it resembled Gao Jiaxing, Xia Xiao paused, then a boy would be slightly better.

Once she knew she was pregnant, Xia Xiao didn’t want to work anymore and became very attentive to her health. However, she voluntarily took on almost all of the lighter household duties.

Sun Yuhua was very happy about Xia Xiao’s initiative. Her period still hadn’t come, and she always felt she was pregnant, so she was even less inclined to do any work. Xia Xiao was willing, so Sun Yuhua was very happy to let her.

Gao Guo Cheng’s matter had been put to rest, and Yang Xuehua’s rumors had also died down, but Luo Su’e was now the one with plans.

Although Gao Guocheng was an old bachelor, he was only in his forties, an age Luo Su’e could accept. Most importantly, she wanted to change her situation, and Gao Guocheng was the best candidate.

So Luo Su’e set her sights on Gao Guocheng, always finding opportunities to encounter him. This greatly displeased Yang Zhonghong, and a conflict arose between Yang Zhonghong and Luo Su’e.

"Mom, check me again," Sun Yuhua, unable to wait any longer, asked Zheng Xianghong to look at her pulse again, feeling certain she was pregnant after her period was delayed a few days.

Unfortunately, Zheng Xianghong still couldn’t confirm it, and Sun Yuhua said, "I’m too anxious, I guess it’s still early days."

Gao Jiazhi, thinking that Sun Yuhua might be pregnant, was very happy and kept nodding, "Waiting another half a month to see wouldn’t hurt. Be careful these next few days, and then let mom check again."

Sun Yuhua nodded, looking at Xia Xiao, "Xia Xiao, let mom check you too."

Xia Xiao nodded and extended her hand to Zheng Xianghong, who took her pulse carefully and repeatedly. The smile on her face grew wider, and finally, she let go of her hand and said, "Xia Xiao is indeed pregnant, truly pregnant. I’ve confirmed it several times. There’s no mistake."

Gao Guoqiang showed a smile and said to Xia Xiao, "You don’t do the work at the production brigade for now, just stay at home and do some light work."

"Got it, Dad," Xia Xiao obediently responded.

Gao Jiazhi also smiled and said, "It’s a pity Jiaxing doesn’t know yet. Wonder how happy he’d be. When we get a letter from Jiaxing, we’ll tell him in the reply."

Gao Guoqiang and Zheng Xianghong nodded. Xia Xiao felt the same; she was eager to tell Gao Jiaxing immediately, but alas, it was uncertain whether he was still at his previous location, on the way to the small island, or had already arrived.

Zheng Xianghong then smiled at Xia Xiao, "You need to be cautious during the first three months." Saying this, Zheng Xianghong pulled Xia Xiao into the house, advising her on some precautions.

Gao Guoqiang was extremely happy about Xia Xiao’s pregnancy. After all, she was carrying his grandchild, which was different from Gao Weilin’s situation.

Although Gao Guoqiang was kind to Gao Weilin, deep down he yearned for a biological grandchild, which was why he was now cheerfully leaving the house.

Sun Yuhua was completely disheartened. Gao Jiazhi said, "Don’t be unhappy, you can let mom check again in a few days."

Sun Yuhua sullenly said, "Look at your parents, they’re so happy about Xia Xiao’s pregnancy, not even knowing if it’s a boy or a girl."

Gao Jiazhi said, "They were just as happy when you were pregnant."

Yet, Sun Yuhua still felt very uncomfortable inside. Xia Xiao was pregnant, and she was left uncertain, but what truly bothered her was Gao Guoqiang’s attitude. She remembered when she was pregnant, Gao Guoqiang was nowhere near as thrilled as now, openly showing his happiness, which was not at all like his usual self.

"I think your dad is too biased towards your brother," Sun Yuhua said.

Gao Jiazhi fell silent, knowing the truth, but it was not something he could be jealous of, as he wasn’t a biological son. The fact that he had been raised to this age was already more than enough.

Not to mention his father also treated him well, and he couldn’t possibly compare himself with Jiaxing—it was incomparable.

However, Gao Jiazhi couldn’t share this with Sun Yuhua, not because he didn’t want to, but because he preferred not to know himself and wished the secret would remain forever.

"Don’t overthink it, Mom and Dad have been very good to us already," Gao Jiazhi said.

Sun Yuhua moved her lips but ended up not saying more.

But with Xia Xiao’s pregnancy confirmed, she still told Xia Jing, Ning Hui, Yang Xuehua, and even Wang Aihua in private.

Ning Hui showed clear envy, clamoring to be the godmother. Yang Xuehua felt envious as well but didn’t speak up; given her status, it didn’t feel appropriate.

Xia Xiao agreed to Ning Hui and was also inclined to have Yang Xuehua as a godmother, but that couldn’t happen yet; she would have to wait a few more years.

The next day, Xia Xiao received letters from Xia Fei and Xia Hong. Xia Fei’s letter joyfully announced the birth of her daughter.

Although Xia Xiao felt regret that Xia Fei hadn’t had a son, she also considered that, with Xia Fei’s improved health, there was still a chance for more children in the future.
