Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 843: Scheming

Huang Ying was responsible for trafficking women and children in her previous life. She had seen a lot, so although she felt sorry for them in her heart, it was only a fleeting thought. After that, she returned to a calm state.

"Wife, this time going out, the situation outside is really unsettling."

"We won’t go out anymore in the future. We’ll ask someone to bring back the daily necessities for us."

Li Chenggong nodded, but in his heart, he was thinking that she was still a maiden when she was with him, so it couldn’t be that she ran away from home. But why would an outsider willingly stay in a small village instead of going out?

This really made Li Chenggong somewhat uneasy. But thinking that there were no outsiders coming and going here, even the bought women couldn’t easily leave.

Besides, listening to her accent, she should be from the North, and no one would come looking here.

Since she’s sincerely living with him now, it’s fine. Seeing her attitude, she definitely doesn’t want to go out, so there’s no worry about her running away.

And now she’s pregnant. Li Chenggong has seen that many bought women have an aversion to having children.

However, he found that Huang Ying was very fond of the child in her belly, often with a gentle smile on her face, stroking her belly.

This is enough; no need to delve deeper. She’s now his wife, carrying his child.

Huang Ying noticed Li Chenggong’s distraction. She could roughly guess his thoughts.

It doesn’t matter. She chose Li Chenggong because she valued his agility of mind. If he can think of it, she won’t be surprised. As long as he’s good to her, it’s fine. Even if he presents it openly, she wouldn’t say a word.

Zhao Xiaoli came out from Ding Xiaojuan’s house and walked through the village, seeing children chasing and playing. She touched her belly with one hand, imagining what her child would look like after birth, and a smile appeared on her face.

At dinner, Zhao Xiaoli talked to Lv Guodong about learning to drive.

"Hmm, Sister Xiaoli, wait until Uncle Yang returns and ask him." No boy dislikes cars, and he is no exception.

However, Jing Chu didn’t think this way; she felt Zhao Xiaoli wanted their car for Aunt Jiang, feeling aggrieved.

But now, the two of them don’t say much either. They’re living and eating at someone else’s expense and shouldn’t do anything shameless.

However, thinking about discussing it with her brother, it’s better to pay the living expenses. This way, they won’t feel inferior.

So, in the evening, she went to her brother’s room.

"Jing Chu, would this be too abrupt?"

Lv Jingchu frowned. "I don’t know either, but it just feels like we’re freeloading."

Lv Guodong frowned. "I’ll talk to Uncle Yang about it when he returns."

"Brother, actually paying the living expenses is the best solution."

"I will listen to Uncle Yang’s opinion when he returns. Actually, Dad once talked to Uncle Yang about it, but was rejected."

"But it always feels like we’re inferior. I don’t feel at ease either."

"Alright, I understand your point."

Next day, the Lv Family siblings and Xiao Qiang went to work, leaving only Sister-in-law Wu and Zhao Xiaoli at home.

Preparations for the child’s bundle and small mattress have already started.

"Xiaoli, Jingchu is fourteen now, right?"

"Yes, she’s already a big girl. When they moved next door to us, she was still a little girl."

"Jingchu looks really good."

"She takes after Uncle Lv; Uncle Lv is definitely a rare handsome man."

"I wonder what kind of partner she will find in the future?"

"Haha, that’s hard to say. Her father’s friend, Jiang Xinyu, once said she doesn’t want them to settle here."

"Then won’t she become an old maiden in the future?"

"That’s a matter for the future. Jiang Xinyu also told them that if they really like someone, it’s fine."

"I like Jingchu. Watching her, she’s just a beautiful, sensible little girl. Xiaoli, do you think I should let my son meet her when he gets back?"

Zhao Xiaoli paused. "Sister-in-law Wu, I really can’t make a decision on this. First, the girl has a strong opinion; second, her affairs should be decided by Jiang Xinyu."

"Then let’s talk about it later. Anyway, my son will come to see me. Maybe they’ll hit it off when they meet?"

Zhao Xiaoli felt uneasy. Jing Chu is Uncle Lv’s treasure, even more cherished than Guodong. Although she hasn’t interacted much with Jiang Xinyu, she roughly knows her character. If someone approaches Jing Chu with impure intentions, Jiang Xinyu would probably not allow it.

"Sister-in-law Wu, I hope you keep this to yourself. I can’t interfere with Jingchu’s affairs. Her dad already wants her to go back."

Sister-in-law Wu smiled and nodded. She had great confidence in her son. He’s handsome, although not as good-looking as Guodong, but not far off either. He’s definitely better than all the boys around here.

When her son comes back for the New Year, he’ll surely meet her. From the first time she saw Jing Chu, she had taken a liking to her and has been observing her secretly.

She’s indeed a good girl; she’s just waiting for her son to come back.

Zhao Xiaoli quickly changed the subject, unwilling to discuss this. The Lv Family was kind to her. Although finding a good family for Jing Chu was a way to repay Uncle Lv, she hadn’t even seen the person, let alone know if they’re good or bad.

Sister-in-law Wu seemed alright, but she didn’t really understand her either. She would absolutely not get involved in this matter here. Better not to work hard and gain nothing.

"Xiaoli, how’s Ding Zhiqing?"

"Just too exhausted during this period. Nutrition isn’t keeping up, but Chen Zhqing is already fetching milk for her daily, which helps a lot."

"No one has luck as good as yours." Sister-in-law Wu sighed.

Zhao Xiaoli nodded. Yes, she was lucky to have Uncle Lv stand up for her in times of trouble, then Jiang Xinyu helped her find such a place, and later she met Old Yang.

She really doesn’t feel resentful; she’s someone who’s content with the status quo. Although Old Yang is older than her and not good-looking, as long as he provides her a comfortable, stable life, she’s satisfied.

Sister-in-law Wu is secretly envious of Zhao Xiaoli. A man who’s capable can pamper a woman and provide a prosperous life without having to worry about daily bread is the happiest thing.

Since she’s been here for these few months, she felt she’d entered a paradise. She didn’t even care if she wasn’t paid since the daily meals are genuinely good.

"Xiaoli, cherish your days now and go along with Old Yang." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"I know. What’s there to be dissatisfied with in this life?" She already has a child and is truly content. She wants to live steadily and even have more children. She’s very envious of Jiang Xinyu’s family’s several children and wants to have more herself.
