Chapter 725: Chapter 727: They’re All Pregnant
Afterward, Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming returned to the Yang Family home. As soon as they entered the courtyard, the family welcomed them. Yang Ming’s mother asked anxiously, "Third son, is Xiangxiang that girl at the Chu Family?"
"Yes, Father, Mother, you can rest assured. She’s at the Chu Family, everything is fine, and the Han Family won’t pursue the matter any further."
"The Han Family isn’t pursuing it?" Old Master Yang was somewhat surprised. Could the Han Family really let such a big issue go so easily?
"Yes, the Han Family isn’t pursuing it, and we’ve also settled on a fish pond partnership with them. In a few days, I’ll have the older brother and the others go to Lin County to learn how to raise fish. Our fish pond should be ready for stocking by the end of the month, or early next month at the latest."
Everyone in the family was excited by this news; the fish pond project had been underway for over two months, and in another month, they would finally see fish.
Yang Ming continued, "Now we just need to focus on building the house for the fish pond, aiming to stock the fish by the end of the month."
"Building the house should still be managed by your fifth uncle, along with the people from Xiawa Village." Old Master Yang proposed.
"Yes, okay, let’s go with fifth uncle. They all do good work and we’re accustomed to using them."
Then Yang Ming continued, "Father, Mother, there’s something I must tell you. I wanted to keep it a secret, but now it can’t be concealed any longer. The last time my sister tried to commit suicide, it was because she was drugged by some thugs and then saved by Han Yongsheng on her way home. But when we sought a doctor at home, the doctor said there was no antidote for the drug she took, and the only way to cure her was through intercourse with a man. So... the person who helped detoxify her was Chu Lian."
This news shocked everyone speechless. They had not at all anticipated the situation to be like this. No wonder the girl didn’t want to live at that time; she had suffered such a great trauma.
"Now my sister is married into the Chu Family, which is a satisfactory outcome. Moreover, because of that time, my sister is pregnant."
"Xiangxiang that girl is pregnant?"
"Yes." Yang Ming nodded, continuing, "Now there are people who won’t let go of the matter that my sister lost her purity before marriage. They’re spreading rumors outside. Don’t take it to heart. And when sister comes over, don’t mention this matter again to avoid upsetting her. Also, if there’s any talk in our village, just deny it."
"We’ll do as the third son says." Old Master Yang hurriedly instructed the rest of the family.
"It’s really unexpected, Xiangxiang that girl is pregnant; does this mean our family is going to add a new member?" Yang Ming’s mother said sentimentally.
"Mother, what do you mean ’also going to add a new member’? Who else is having a baby?" Xiaoxiao asked.
"This morning, your fifth uncle and his wife came over, and your fifth aunt is pregnant. Your grandmother was so happy, and she kept praising you."
Xiaoxiao was genuinely surprised; the good news from her fifth aunt came so fast, and in fact, she didn’t even have a clue, and it was just about giving them hope. But what was her grandmother praising her for? What did it have to do with her?
Yang Ming’s mother continued, "Your third aunt also came this morning, saying that Hehua is pregnant too, which made your third aunt extremely happy, going around proclaiming that their family is going to add a new member."
"..." Xiaoxiao was once again taken aback by this news; Hehua was also expecting.
One by one, they were all getting pregnant, yet no matter how hard she tried, her belly remained empty.
Yang Ming noticed Xiaoxiao’s despondent look and quickly made an excuse to leave with his wife, "Father, Mother, now that we’ve finished talking, my wife and I will head back. I need to check on my son."
"That little fellow is sleeping soundly inside the house, so let’s all return to our own rooms then."
