Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!-Chapter 313 - 1: The Famine Years Without Hunger (Part 1)
This time, after deducting the Space-Time Energy Points used for acquiring the plot, Li Shuning still earned ten Space-Time Energy Points, which wasn’t bad at all.
Returning to the real world, she found Yun Zimo holding her, the two of them cozily leaning against each other.
Seeing Li Shuning open her eyes, Yun Zimo smiled and said, "Welcome back, my sweetie. Was everything smooth?"
"Yes, it went smoothly. How about you, did you go anywhere?"
"Nope, it seems the last one was a bit tough, so I got quite a long break."
There was a driver in the front seat, so they couldn’t speak too openly.
Back at home, after a brief freshening up, the two of them started having dinner.
For lunch, they had rice.
The meal was sumptuous, featuring spicy chicken feet that Li Shuning loved, stir-fried vegetables, and Yun Zimo’s favorites: radish beef stew and boiled okra.
On the table, there was also a mild soup with century egg and cucumber, alongside a dish of boiled fish. The maid knew the tastes of her masters quite well.
Li Shuning didn’t particularly like fish, always finding it troublesome to eat and leaving an aftertaste in her mouth.
However, seeing Li Shuning only focused on eating the spicy chicken feet and vegetables, Yun Zimo helped by serving her a piece of fish.
Li Shuning naturally wanted to be polite.
But as soon as she tasted the fish, Li Shuning covered her mouth, feeling an uncomfortable sensation in her chest and stomach, and the next moment, she started retching.
She quickly ran to the bathroom and began vomiting, emptying out all the rice and other food she had eaten earlier.
She continued to vomit until even the gastric fluid came out, finally feeling a bit better.
Yun Zimo had been standing by her side ever since she started to vomit, gently rubbing her back.
Seeing Li Shuning freshen up and looking a bit more comfortable, he asked, "Sweetie, what’s wrong? Do you feel any discomfort, or have you caught a cold?"
Li Shuning silently shook her head, contemplating, and considered the possibility; her period had been delayed for seven or eight days already.
It was usually very punctual, and the couple had been hoping for a child and had been trying for a long time.
However, Li Shuning wasn’t sure.
She didn’t want to give Zimo hope only for it to end in disappointment.
"I felt a bit nauseous while eating the fish and just threw up out of nowhere."
At this moment, Yun Zimo hadn’t realized what was happening, but he was genuinely very attentive to Li Shuning.
Seeing that Li Shuning had vomited everything she ate and seemed pale, he immediately picked her up and headed towards the garage.
In no time, they arrived at the hospital.
Two hours later, Yun Zimo’s face was beaming with a smile, holding Li Shuning’s hand, unwilling to let go.
Li Shuning was also somewhat helpless; this fool.
The tests confirmed that she was indeed pregnant, although still in the early stages, so she needed to rest more.
After returning home, Yun Zimo immediately informed his mother and also notified his mother-in-law.
Then Yun Zimo personally went to the kitchen and cooked some soft wontons for Li Shuning.
Having previously vomited everything she had eaten and only drinking a few sips of warm tea on the way to the hospital, Li Shuning was already hungry. After a few bites of the wontons, she found them delicious and quickly finished them, feeling much more comfortable.
In no time, Yun Zimo’s mother showed up, and only a few minutes later, Li Shuning’s mother and father also arrived. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
They were quite concerned about Li Shuning’s pregnancy, knowing she had vomited heavily before going to the hospital, and her mother even prepared to stay and take care of her.
Yun Zimo realized he indeed lacked experience and needed guidance from elders.
Yun Zimo’s mother wanted to stay as well, but she was persuaded by Li Shuning’s mother to leave since the family didn’t usually have much to do, while Yun Zimo’s mother was quite busy.
Yun Zimo immediately prepared a room for Li Shuning’s mother and father to stay in.
Yun Zimo’s mother felt a bit embarrassed but she understood she didn’t have much experience in this area, since her childbirth had been taken care of by family servants.
"Mother-in-law, I’ll be troubling you then. I’ll visit daily, so please let me know if there’s anything needed. Li Shuning’s health is important."
Everyone was quite polite, and Li Shuning felt that such courtesy between the two families was necessary to get along well.
With her own mother taking care of her, Li Shuning felt quite at ease.
While she still went to her studio, the number of patients she saw was greatly reduced.
After all, using spiritual power did have some impact on her.
Of course, Li Shuning also posted an announcement on the studio’s official website, clearly stating that she was pregnant and the number of bookings she could take would be reduced, hoping everyone would understand. Of course, serious cases should be clearly communicated to the reception.
The parents were quite open-minded and didn’t insist that Li Shuning stop working during her pregnancy.
One day, Yun Zimo drove Li Shuning to her studio, when 006’s voice appeared in her mind: "We’re about to enter the Task World."
Li Shuning was taken aback for a moment, then felt somewhat helpless. Fortunately, she already knew that going to another world wouldn’t have much effect on the baby; otherwise, she would never have let herself get pregnant.
When Li Shuning opened her eyes, she found herself in a room, the surrounding environment seemed rather harsh.
The walls were made of earth, and the windows were covered with paper. The place she lay was hard and cold, with the blanket on her being stiff and not very warm.
Li Shuning stretched out her hands to find they were small and thin, realizing from her hands that she was quite young.
"006, receive the plot."
"Alright, got it."
This world was rather underdeveloped; people, whether in cities or villages, struggled to have enough food.
Natural disasters were frequent, if not droughts, then floods. Life was very tough in this world.
In the plot, the village where Li Shuning resided was called Li Family Village. The people in the village were mostly surnamed Li, with very few exceptions.
The village at this time was somewhat exclusivist, although marrying wives from other villages was an exception, and girls from nearby villages would marry in.
The location of Li Family Village was quite favorable; despite being poor and lacking food, the proximity to the mountains and a large river running through the village provided some sustenance.
Li Shuning’s father, Li Rengui, was a carpenter with a skill who could earn some money to support the family.
Li Shuning’s mother was busy with various household tasks.
All household chores were handled by Li Chunhua, including work in the fields, also managed by her.
Li Chunhua was a sturdy and diligent middle-aged woman, quite renowned in Li Family Village.
Her parents were both from Li Family Village, and with her father being a carpenter, he was well-connected, while her mother was gentle in nature, giving Li Shuning’s family a good reputation in the village.
Li Shuning’s name was given by the original owner’s grandfather, otherwise, according to Li Rengui’s wishes, it would have been named Daya.
With the naming rights taken by her grandfather, all that was left for her parents was to use Daya as a nickname.
