Chapter 350: Chapter 346: Good News from Li Jing’an

"Are you alright?"

Li Jing’an didn’t dare speak, afraid she might vomit the moment she opened her mouth.

"Ugh~"

Hongguo rushed over quickly, Wen Ran furrowed her brow and asked in a low voice, "How is it?"

If anyone dared to cause trouble at her child’s full month celebration.

Then don’t blame her for being ruthless. Beating them up wouldn’t be enough; she’d beat the whole family and even dig up their ancestral graves.

Let them understand what it means for one person to cause trouble and the whole family to suffer.

Wen Ran’s plan is to not even spare their ancestors.

Li Jing’an’s stomach was empty, and she felt weak. Hongguo checked her pulse, somewhat incredulous.

But Mrs. Xiao beside them stared at Li Jing’an’s face for a long time, then suddenly spoke, "Jing’an, when was the last time you had your period?"

Li Jing’an: "?"

She looked confused, "Huh?"

Hongguo looked up, "Not poisoned."

Wen Ran breathed a sigh of relief; as long as it wasn’t poisoning.

That proved that at least no one dared to tamper with her feast.

After getting Li Jing’an into the room, Wen Ran asked Xiao Chenye and Mr. Xiao to entertain the guests as she entered the room herself to check the situation.

"How is she?"

Li Jing’an was fine, just a little dazed and incredulous.

Mrs. Xiao was beside her, "Hongguo, check carefully; she still can’t believe it."

Wen Ran raised an eyebrow, a few guesses floating in her mind, "Pregnant?"

"Yes!"

Hongguo gave a definitive answer, "She is indeed pregnant, but it’s early; barely a month."

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been unsure for so long;

Li Jing’an, overwhelmed with emotion and having tearful tendencies, cried almost instantly when Hongguo confirmed it.

She clung tightly to Zhang Quansheng’s hand, wanting to say something.

But years of longing, suddenly fulfilled, left her speechless.

Zhang Quansheng was bewildered too, opening his mouth, "Could it really be...?"

"I’m telling you, this is almost certain.

Never mind our Hongguo’s medical skills,

Just from looking, I realized Jing’an’s appearance has changed since the beginning."

What?

Taking the pulse can be called medicine, but reading a face might be beyond the scope?

"What do you mean?"

Wen Ran was surprised, "Can you tell a pregnant woman from her face?"

To this, Mrs. Xiao confidently stated, "When we first met Jing’an, she had a pointed oval face.

No flesh on her face at all. Now, look carefully, her face looks distinctly rounder.

Her eyebrows seem gentler, and her whole demeanor is different.

Whenever this appears on a woman’s face, pregnancy is almost certain."

This is the legendary pregnancy look.

Some more experienced elders don’t need to check pulses; they can glance and tell if one is pregnant.

An accuracy rate of 99%; they basically never fail.

Li Jing’an calmed down for a while, looked at Wen Ran, and then burst into tears again.

Wen Ran: "..."

She sighed, "Alright, alright, I know you’re very emotional now.

But try to stay calm. After all, you’re now carrying a child, and emotional swings aren’t good for the baby."

With these words, Li Jing’an’s tears vanished instantly.

Sichuan face change can’t compare to how quickly Li Jing’an changed her expression.

’You’re right,’ Li Jing’an cautiously said, "Now that I’m expecting, even if my emotions fluctuate, I must keep them in check, I will stay calm."

Looking at Wen Ran, Li Jing’an stepped forward and embraced her, "Thank you, thank you so much."

Wen Ran: "?"

What’s the matter, this shouldn’t be something to thank me for!

Wen Ran was startled, "I must clarify, the child she’s carrying has nothing to do with me."

Oh my gosh, luckily she’s a woman.

If she were a man, no matter how much she explained, it would be hard to untangle all this.

Li Jing’an and her husband no longer stayed to eat; they packed up and left.

They still had to go to the county hospital to check, get that test report, with its official stamp, to truly set their minds at ease.

Little did they know, just this one child would directly change Li Jing’an and her husband’s perceptions and the path of their lives.

Originally, they thought about living in this small county for their whole lives.

Not worrying about food, drink, or the occasional unpleasant person causing trouble; they could dismiss it in a few words.

But with a child, their mind always fears accidents.

Afraid of any mishap with the child.

If it were only Li Jing’an alone, even if pushed by the crazy Zhang Family and taking a fall, it wouldn’t matter.

They could take the opportunity to sever ties completely with the Zhang Family.

But with a child, one can’t help but think more; Zhang Family may be worthless, but their child is precious.

If any problem arises...

Who can compensate her for her child?

This is the child she has desperately wished for, a gift from Heaven.

Must be cautious, cautious, and more cautious.

In the end, though, how could there be a thief for a thousand days, but no thousand-day guard against thieves?

Being pregnant means being constantly anxious.

When the child is born, they’ll still be anxious.

When will it ever end?

If Zhang Family can’t be eliminated, the best option is to stay far away...

~

As soon as the full month passed, it was New Year’s.

Xiao Chenyue was thrilled upon hearing that all the family’s children had been accepted into college.

If not for Gula stopping her, she would’ve surely rushed back with the kids.

For the twins’ full month, Xiao Chenyue and Xiao Chengguang sent gifts from abroad.

Amber and turquoise.

Wen Ran didn’t know if they’re valuable, but they were truly beautiful.

Sometimes, one can’t help but marvel at nature’s magical craftsmanship.

The New Year went smoothly.

To celebrate the addition of children to the family, they had a grand New Year’s celebration.

Knowing the Xiao Family was going places, Mrs. Xiao Sr. shamelessly tried to visit, only to be driven out by Mrs. Xiao.

Before, when her household conditions were average, she dared to confront this old hag directly.

Now, her home’s conditions are getting better, her children are grown and capable.

No reason she’d fear this old witch.

She thoroughly scolded Mrs. Xiao Sr.,

Leaving her completely defeated.

Coming confident, leaving defeated.

One wonders if, as people age, their brains stop working.

Knowing full well they don’t get along.

Still deluded, naively visiting to reap benefits.

Truth be told, with the current relationship between the two families, being able to stay out of each other’s lives is a unique kind of happiness.
