The Stepmother’s Counterattack: Raising a Child in a Bygone Era

"Qingqing, you are..."

Seeing Shen Mingzhu staring at her stomach, Zhong Qing gently smiled, "You discovered it."

Shen Mingzhu was both surprised and delighted, "You’re having a baby? How many months now?"

Zhong Qing caressed her slightly showing belly, "Just over three months."

"Congratulations!"

"Thank you."

Shen Mingzhu, supporting Zhong Qing, motioned for her to get into the car, "Let’s talk in the car, don’t tire yourself."

"Mhm."

From the moment she got into the car, Shen Mingzhu talked nonstop, as if she wanted to pack all of her pregnancy knowledge into Zhong Qing’s head.

It wasn’t until she finished that Zhong Qing explained the reason for the secrecy, "My pregnancy signs weren’t very good, and the elders said to keep it a secret for the first three months, so I didn’t tell you in advance."
