Chapter 760: Honest Farm Girl x 1 Snake Demon with a Child (10)
In Xinghua Lane, Mo Xiao led Yu Yan, carrying packages of various sizes in their hands and with joyful smiles on their faces, to visit their pregnant brother.
When they stepped into the house, their eyes were immediately attracted by the scene in the yard - Yu Bai was sitting there quietly, embroidering with concentration.
Mo Xiao frowned slightly, and hurriedly strode to Yu Bai's side, snatched the needle and thread from his hand, and said in a slightly reproachful tone: "Brother, why are you embroidering again? You are pregnant now, you should have a good rest! Where is your sister-in-law?"
Yu Bai was not angry at his brother's complaint. Instead, he smiled gently and explained softly, "She is reading in the study! I'll go call her over now."
After saying that, Yu Bai stood up and walked towards the study.
Not long after, Liu Shiwan supported Yu Bai and walked out of the study together.
With a smile on her face, she greeted Mo Xiao and Yu Yan enthusiastically: "Brother Xiao, sister-in-law, you are here! I was reading in the study just now, so I couldn't come out to greet you the first time. Please forgive me."
Yu Yan responded politely: "Sister-in-law, you are too polite. We came here this time to see how our pregnant brother is doing and whether he needs our help."
Liu Shiwan waved her hand. "I am a scholar. I have nothing to do except studying. Why should I bother my brother and sister-in-law for help?"
However, Mo Xiao felt a little impatient when he saw the two women in front of him greeting each other.
He couldn't help rolling his eyes, took Yu Bai's hand, and walked into the house impatiently.
Humph, you are a scholar, and all you do is read.
That’s right, his brother is already pregnant and still has to make money to support the family!
This sister-in-law is really short-sighted. She is just a scholar who didn't even pass the imperial examination. Why is she showing off all day long?
Ever since he found out Yu Bai was pregnant, Mo Xiao has been extremely nervous.
After all, when a fairy becomes pregnant, her magic power is greatly reduced, especially during childbirth, which requires a huge amount of energy.
After all, when a human and a demon fall in love, the child born is most likely half-demon, which is against the will of heaven.
So you will suffer during childbirth.
But my sister-in-law was still the same as before, staying in her room all day reading and writing, and asking my brother to continue embroidering to earn money to support the family.
As a younger brother, Mo Xiao was dissatisfied.
After Yu Bai was helped back to his room by his brother, he couldn't help but find it funny to see his face, which was darker than the bottom of a pot. So he patted his hands and comforted him, "Brother, what's wrong with you? You have a sullen face, as if someone owes you money."
The younger brother frowned and said in a worried tone: "Brother, I have told you so many times that you can't continue working. Do you know? This will consume your energy and blood. I'm really worried that you won't be able to survive when the time comes to give birth."
It turns out that in order to sell the embroidery at a good price, Yu Bai did not embroider ordinary embroidery, but exquisite works that required a lot of energy and effort to complete.
Every stitch and every thread embodies his hard work and energy.
Yu Bai smiled and said to his brother: "Don't worry, after I finish embroidering this picture, I won't embroider anymore."
He gently stroked his brother's back, trying to ease his worries.
Seeing that he was still dissatisfied, she changed the subject.
"Haven't you been pestering your wife these days, trying to get her pregnant? How's it going? Is there any progress?"
"no!"
When this was mentioned, Mo Xiao became dejected, hung his head, and looked upset.
He has tried so hard, but there is still no movement in his stomach. It's really frustrating.
The two brothers were talking in private in the house, while Yu Yan and Yu Bai were chatting idly outside in the yard, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
After all, a peasant girl who makes a living by farming and a scholar who is proud of being a scholar, they really have nothing to talk about.
Of course, this is only superficial.
Because Yu Yan didn't really want to chat with her, she just dressed casually and behaved honestly.
Liu Shiwan felt a little embarrassed and was about to say something when she heard Yu Yan say, "Sister-in-law, the men are chatting in the house, let's go buy some vegetables!"
"Buying groceries? Us?"
Hearing this, Liu Shiwan's expression instantly became very interesting.
She is a girl! How could she do such a masculine thing?
And most importantly, she is a scholar!
But she couldn't say anything unpleasant to her sister-in-law, so after a while, she finally said, "It's probably disrespectful for two women to buy groceries."
"I think it's disrespectful to let your pregnant husband run around for you. What do you think, sister-in-law?"
Yu Yan looked at her quietly, silently revealing a sense of mockery.
When Liu Shiwan met her gaze, she felt as if her face was torn off and thrown on the ground, and she looked away in embarrassment.
"…I was wrong just now, let's go buy some groceries!"
Yu Yan nodded and walked out of the yard first.
Liu Shiwan looked at her back and groaned inwardly.
If I had known this, I would have hidden in the study and not come out.
She looked back at the house, gritted her teeth and followed.
The two of them spoke nothing along the way and soon arrived at the market.
The market is bustling with people coming and going.
Yu Yan brought Liu Shiwan to a vegetable stall with ease.
"Boss, how much is this dish?"
"Three cents a pound."
"It's too expensive, can it be cheaper?"
"No, it's already very cheap."
Yu Yan started bargaining with the stall owner. Liu Shiwan stood aside, looking uncomfortable. She looked at Yu Yan and wanted to say something. Her lips moved a few times, but in the end she didn't speak.
"Okay, that's it. Weigh two pounds for me."
Finally, Yu Yan bought two kilograms of vegetables for five cents.
The two were still some distance away from the vegetable stall, so Liu Shiwan couldn't help but ask, "Why did you bargain just now? The old man selling vegetables has a hard time, it's just a few cents, why bother about it so much."
Yu Yan found her words interesting, so she stopped and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law is really kind. I wonder if your family has a lot of savings to support your imperial examination?"
Liu Shiwan choked.
Where did she get her savings?
Before she married Yu Bai, her parents supported her education.
Later, not long after her parents passed away and she was worried about money, she married Yu Bai and never worried about money again after that.
It is precisely because of this that Liu Shiwan became so noble.
However, Liu Shiwan was not a fool. She knew what Yu Yan meant, so she tactfully stopped talking.
After all, she is a gigolo and has never earned a penny. How can she have the face to sympathize with others?
Next, they visited a few more stalls and bought some other ingredients.
Along the way, Liu Shiwan looked absent-minded and had no idea how to communicate with Yu Yan.
However, just when the two of them bought a fish and were about to go back, they were stopped by someone.
The person who came was a woman in Taoist robes. She was not particularly beautiful, but she had an outstanding temperament and a sense of detachment that seemed indifferent to life and death.
This is the heroine Lin Xiaoyue in the original plot.
She looked at Yu Yan and Liu Shiwan and said with a serious expression: "Ladies, have you encountered any strange things recently?"
Liu Shiwan was the first to answer: "Strange thing? No!"
Lin Xiaoyue frowned: "How come there is nothing again? Madam, think carefully, the evil spirit on your body is very strong."
