Reborn As Lucky Star-Chapter 826: Pregnant

After the case was concluded and handed over to the prosecutor’s office, it would take some time before it went to court for trial.

In the face of conclusive evidence, those people would receive the punishment they deserved.

After this incident, Yue Xiaofang and Ma Qiang gradually became familiar with each other.

The two were similar in age and shared somewhat similar personalities.

Yue Jiandong was a bit uneasy, "Ma Qiang is not young anymore, he couldn’t have stayed unmarried all this time. I hope there won’t be any misunderstandings later."

Zhang Ying suggested he inquire a bit.

Ma Qiang used to work in Jinshan Village.

The former old village chief was very familiar with the Yue Family due to their life-saving grace.

They often kept in touch during festivals.

Yue Jiandong specially took the time to ask around. The retired old village chief praised Ma Qiang extensively.

"Qiangzi is great; he’s meticulous and dependable in his work, has a strong sense of justice, and will pursue any matter to the end. He wouldn’t let any bad guy go unpunished, nor wrong a good person. Though a bit driven, if he weren’t, he wouldn’t have climbed the ranks so quickly. It’s all earned through blood and sweat."

The old village chief rambled on, while Yue Jiandong listened and responded, finally steering the conversation to the point.

"Was it because he was busy with work that he didn’t marry?"

Yue Jiandong deliberately probed, fearing the old village chief might say that he had long since settled down.

Fortunately, the old village chief sighed.

"Not entirely. Qiangzi is so outstanding that someone once introduced him to a woman. But Qiangzi often had to rush out whenever a case arose, making it impossible to settle down. Eventually, the woman couldn’t take it anymore. There were some rumors in the village, which Qiangzi later found out about."

"As you know, Qiangzi’s profession allows him to quickly find evidence."

"He placed the evidence before the woman without losing his temper and said that indeed, his job is busy and very tough. There was a lack of understanding between them before marriage, so it was better to part ways."

Yue Jiandong admired Ma Qiang’s rationality upon hearing this.

"How did the woman respond?"

"She certainly wasn’t happy. Although Qiangzi was busy with work, his accomplishments were won through sheer effort. He quickly became the director and news soon came that he might be transferred to the city. Eventually, he could become the head of a bureau, maybe even higher. How could the woman bear to let go? She could be the bureau chief’s wife if she stayed with Qiangzi. Later, she cried, made a scene, and even threatened suicide."

Yue Jiandong grew genuinely interested, "How was it resolved in the end? They’re not still entangled, are they?"

"Of course not. When Qiangzi is determined, not even ten oxen can pull him back. He laid everything out, stating that whether the marriage ended now or later, it would definitely end. He wasn’t the type to worry about saving face, and if it came to the courtroom, the situation would be much harder to resolve amicably."

Yue Jiandong understood.

While Ma Qiang was in Jinshan Village as the director, the work he had done certainly earned him respect. The old village chief’s words showed that.

If things got loud, even if Ma Qiang didn’t speak up, there would certainly be others making things difficult for the woman in secret, possibly implicating her maternal family too.

No need for the old village chief to elaborate further; Yue Jiandong could already picture it.

That marriage surely ended.

This approach of reasoning before enforcement was quite good, giving Yue Jiandong some insight into Ma Qiang through the narrative.

After discussing it with Zhang Ying, he told his mother about it.

Lin Chunju listened and nodded.

"It’s good to understand the situation over there. You shouldn’t meddle in your sister’s affairs. Whether it works out or not is between them. If we say or do too much, it might backfire."

Yue Jiandong agreed, "Exactly. Times have changed; Xiaofang is different from before. She knows what’s best for herself."

Zhang Ying noticed that today, her mother had been smiling all along, with a celebratory look.

She couldn’t help but ask, "Mother, did something good happen to you?"

The elderly woman chuckled, "Yingzi, you’re so observant. I originally wanted to let Old Third tell you in person, but since you asked, I’ll spill the news."

Zhang Ying and Yue Jiandong exchanged glances, both having some foreboding.

"Old Third’s wife is pregnant!"
