Chapter 433 - 367: Don’t You Know You’re Pregnant?
Rong Yan ate the apple and then made to head outside.
Madam Rong watched her daughter walking out and subconsciously asked, "Where are you going?"
Could it be that she’s not happy and is going to cause trouble with those people again?
But then she dismissed the thought because her daughter was really not that kind of person.
"I’m going to see the old master, to see if he’s still in good health."
Rong Yan felt that the old master might not be feeling well today, otherwise, he would have come over already.
When Madam Rong heard that she was going to see the old master, she couldn’t help but glare at her, "You’re going just like that?"
Rong Yan looked puzzled, "Otherwise?" Then, something occurred to her, and she slapped her forehead.
"Right, one can’t just go like this."
Before Madam Rong could feel reassured by her realization, she heard the next sentence.
"I need to take Qin Mei with me."
Madam Rong: ...?
You’re already in your twenties, don’t you understand even a bit of social niceties?
"Meimei, let’s go. We’ll visit your grandfather together."
Qin Mei immediately ran over. "Sure, big sister."
The sisters-in-law prepared to step outside.
Madam Rong had no choice but to call out to her, "Wait a minute, take the apples I bought, and also, I’ll pick a watermelon and some vegetables for you to bring over."
"That’s not necessary..." Carrying it all the way there would be quite exhausting.
Madam Rong ignored her and went straight to pick a watermelon, then picked some vegetables, including tomatoes and cucumbers.
Because she remembered that the old master seemed to really enjoy eating the cucumbers from their home.
Rong Yan looked at all the stuff, "Mom, how am I supposed to carry all this?"
Madam Rong glared at her irritably, "Are you stupid? If you can’t carry it, just load it on the bicycle, won’t that do?"
Rong Yan: "...You make a good point..."
Madam Rong immediately retorted, "Otherwise, how could I be your mother?"
Rong Yan: ...
Strong, you’re definitely strong!
She turned around to push the bicycle.
Madam Rong had already packed up everything to take with them.
When her daughter pushed the bicycle to the door, she then put the watermelon in the basket, "Hang this here, and the other there, perfect, one on each side."
The corners of Rong Yan’s mouth twitched.
"Alright then! We’re off."
"Hmm, be careful... Don’t smash the watermelon."
Rong Yan thought her mother was telling her to take care, but it turned out the watermelon was more important than she was.
Well then! It seems she really is less important than a melon.
She swung her leg over the bicycle, then put one foot on the ground.
"Meimei, get on."
Since they were taking the bicycle, riding it would definitely be more convenient than pushing it.
Qin Mei complied and got on first.
When Rong Yan saw that she was seated properly, she began to ride the bicycle.
At the entrance of the alleyway, there was still a bunch of people sitting around, not having left yet! When they saw the two of them... their eyes landed on the big watermelon.
And they got sour again.
Mother Li really had neither a memory for food nor for beatings.
In just such a short while, she had forgotten the earlier incident. When she saw all the goods, she was really sour beyond measure.
Luckily, she still had some sense left and waited until the bicycle was far away before she spoke with a sour tone, "...Carrying so many things... seems like they’re going to suck up to the Qin family..."
The Qin family surely doesn’t like her much; otherwise, why wouldn’t she live in the Qin Mansion after getting married? Instead, she chooses to live here?
The person sitting next to her immediately advised, "That’s enough, don’t provoke her... You can’t win against her, why bother inviting trouble?"
Mother Li was quite displeased and immediately retorted, "It’s not that I can’t handle her; I simply don’t want to stoop to her level."
Seeing her say this, the person who had just been advising her didn’t care to respond anymore and simply chose to sit further away.
After all, she didn’t want to get involved in badmouthing someone she couldn’t afford to offend.
Moreover... upon closer thought, that Rong Family girl only retaliated when others provoked her; normally, she didn’t initiate trouble.
The Qin Family lived close by, so they arrived quickly.
Rong Yan squeezed the brakes.
Qin Mei immediately hopped off from the back seat of the bicycle.
At that moment, Qin Zhen’s wife, Ren Lanshuang, came out from inside.
When she saw Rong Yan and Qin Mei, her face instantly lit up with a look of surprise.
"Ah, sister-in-law and Qin Mei are here! The old man was just thinking of you both!"
Rong Yan smiled a little, "It seems like our timing couldn’t be better."
Qin Mei politely called out, "Sister-in-law!"
"Ah, it seems like you’ve grown taller again in just a few days," Ren Lanshuang observed Qin Mei, "And you’re even prettier!"
Qin Mei was somewhat embarrassed by the compliment and her face turned a slight red.
"You two should come in quick! I’ll head home now, but sister-in-law, if you have time later, come over to my place."
Ren Lanshuang, given her relationship with Qin Zhen, knew Rong Yan was a very busy person, so she rarely disturbed her.
Rong Yan nodded, "Sure!"
This time, Rong Yan only brought something for the old master, so she didn’t have anything for Ren Lanshuang.
Luckily, Ren Lanshuang didn’t mind this, as she waved goodbye to Rong Yan and Qin Mei and prepared to leave, "I’ll be going now."
At that moment, Rong Yan suddenly called out to her.
"Sister-in-law, I haven’t congratulated you yet!"
Ren Lanshuang was taken aback by her words. She stopped in her tracks, then turned around, "Congratulate me for what?"
Rong Yan had just been testing her to see if she knew.
Now, hearing Ren Lanshuang’s reaction, Rong Yan was certain she didn’t know.
"Sister-in-law, you’re pregnant! Of course, I must congratulate you!"
Ren Lanshuang was startled by her words.
Her eyes widened in disbelief.
"Sister-in-law, you, you’re saying I’m pregnant?"
Rong Yan nodded, "Yes! You didn’t know?"
Once she received confirmation, Ren Lanshuang was now completely surprised and delighted, somewhat excited, "I... I didn’t know..."
Her menstrual cycle had always been very irregular, sometimes early, sometimes late, sometimes a few months in between.
And while she had been hoping to get pregnant, it had always ended in disappointment.
This time... it was undeniably a pleasant surprise.
"Sister-in-law, go inside first, and in a while, I’ll take your pulse," said Rong Yan.
Hearing that Rong Yan was going to check her pulse, Ren Lanshuang was in no place to refuse.
Now no longer in a rush to return home, she quickly turned around... and helped Rong Yan push her bicycle.
Rong Yan hurried to stop her, "Sister-in-law, don’t exert yourself, I can manage on my own. Take care of yourself..."
With these words, Ren Lanshuang dared not move a muscle.
However, she called out to the courtyard, "Aunt Liu, come out and help with the things, my sister-in-law and Qin Mei have arrived."
In no time at all, Sister-in-law Liu came out.
Since the doorway to the courtyard was a bit high, she helped lift the basket of watermelons.
Rong Yan managed to push the bicycle in smoothly.
She carried another basket full of vegetables into the hall.
The old master was overjoyed when he saw his granddaughter-in-law and great-granddaughter enter.
