Wan Qiu didn’t mean what he said. He told Shan Yu to find Lian Zhou, but in his heart, he wished his husband could stay far away from Lian Zhou.

However, Shan Yu was concerned about the pregnant wife’s mood, so he tried to comfort Wan Qiu. He stayed with him as much as possible and took care of him more carefully than before.

In this way, Wan Qiu could also see that his husband actually cared about him. At least, he cared about this child.

This was a very good discovery. Wan Qiu took a chance and lied to him while Shan Yu and Lian Zhou were joking, saying that he felt uncomfortable in his stomach. Sure enough, Shan Yu came to him with a concerned expression, checked his pulse, and rubbed his stomach. Yes, extremely considerate.

Wan Qiu was happy and felt that he had found a way to tie up his husband. Later, when he saw Shan Yu and Lian Zhou mixed together, he said he had a stomachache. Although it worked repeatedly, he didn’t know about the story of the boy who cried wolf so…

.

The lanterns and colorful decorations at the end of the year were all trivial matters, the real event was visiting relatives and friends. Shan Yu and Wan Qiu had no relatives or friends. Except for Grandma Wang and Grandpa Yaba, some people also came, and there were also children who came to beg for sweets.

The little kids, who were four or five years old, saw delicious food in Wan Qiu’s home, so they came one after another.

The children were not sensible, but the parent paid attention to courtesy. The villagers saw that Wan Qiu and Shan Yu were generous and entertained their children with delicious food and drinks, so they happily offered gifts.

Everyone was still envious and bitter, but the words were not so harsh.

“Qiu Ge’er, your belly is a little small. When I was pregnant, I couldn’t even straighten my waist at your months!”

“It’s a little small. Don’t give birth to it…”

Everyone was talking about it and no one could stop it. Grandma Wang was afraid that their unrestrained talk would bring bad luck to Wan Qiu, so she hurriedly interrupted: “It’s a bit small, but Grandpa Yaba said it’s fine, it doesn’t matter. It’s easy to give birth to a small baby, you don’t have to suffer…”

She gave everyone a very warning look, telling them to be careful with their words and not to cause trouble for others during the Chinese New Year.

Wan Qiu knew his physical condition, touched his belly, and smiled and said: “My husband takes my pulse every day, and let me eat three meals a day with anti-fetal medicine. Although my belly is a little small, the baby is fine, and my husband said that my belly is pointed, maybe it’s a boy…”

He was wearing a red winter coat, his long hair hanging down on his shoulders and tied loosely with a hairband of the same color. His small face was so tender and white, if people didn’t look at the fiery red on his forehead that ruined his beauty. They would think he was a beautiful shuanger as gentle as jade.

Everyone was very happy and jealous of Wan Qiu’s changes. Some said that people relied on clothes just like horses relied on saddles. Others said that Wan Qiu was actually not that ugly. Most of them said that Shan Yu was good for Wan Qiu, so he could be tender and healthy like today.

Wan Qiu listened with crooked eyebrows, feeling he was happier when they praised Shan Yu than when they praised him. The only pity was before everyone here had finished praising Shan Yu, there was a burst of crisp laughter and curses.

“Shanzi, get out of here! You are pressing my breasts again. I can’t breathe. I don’t have any milk for you. Get out of here!”

Lian Zhou and Shan Yu were good brothers who grew up playing together. They would quarrel when they met, and they would start to pinch each other when they quarreled. The level of quarreling would make Lian Zhou’s young lovers jealous even in modern times. In a small mountain village like this in ancient times, to say their quarrel was immoral would be putting it mildly.

Shan Yu held Lian Zhou under him, holding a bamboo hat and clasping it on his head: “If you want to go out, take it with you. If you cause trouble, I won’t take care of you!”

“Come on! You dare not taking care of it!” Lian Zhou’s legs were wrapped around Shan Yu’s waist, and he pushed away with both hands: “It’s an indecent assault! Help! Someone is indecency!”

Lian Zhou was out of character and yelled angrily. Those who didn’t know thought he was begging Shan Yu to molest him.

“Shut up!” Shan Yu’s forehead veins throbbed, and he covered Lian Zhou’s mouth and said, “There’s someone at home, please be quiet…”

Lian Zhou was not afraid of people, and pushed Shan Yu away when he was unprepared. When he opened the door and came out, he bumped into Grandma Wang and others, and his face was clearly seen.

There was silence in the air for a moment, and even Wan Qiu, who had seen Lian Zhou, was shocked.

He was shocked at the crimson between his eyebrows that was so beautiful. He was shocked that Lian Zhou’s appearance was unparalleled. He was shocked that his husband… hadn’t even touched Lian Zhou yet.

As soon as Lian Zhou saw everyone’s stunned expressions, he knew everyone was stunned by his beauty. He was a little upset and said: “What are you looking at? You’ve never seen a someone so good-looking, have you?”

When Shan Yu came out with a bamboo hat, it was already too late.

.

In the evening, within half a day, a group of admiring people gathered in front of their house, chattering and looking at Lian Zhou like a monkey.

“I told you to put on the bamboo hat, but you didn’t listen. Is this okay now? I don’t want to go out now. Maybe someone will come to propose marriage tomorrow. Let me see what you do!”

Shan Yu was worried to death! Well, he specially built a courtyard gate for Lian Zhou to shut out everyone who came to visit, but Lian Zhou didn’t take it seriously.

He thought that everyone knew what he looked like anyway, so he simply stopped wearing a hat. Not only was his fame spread far and wide, but even Grandma Wang next door had a fight with her own man because of Lian Zhou, and the impact was obvious.

Shan Yu had nothing to do with his friend’s disobedient character. After someone came to him crying for the -nth time and complained that Lian Zhou seduced his man, he finally couldn’t bear it and said:

“Lian Zhou, are you sick? You can’t restrain yourself even if you know that you are troublesome. Why are you flirting with an old man in his fifties?

“You’re the one who’s sick! What can I do? You don’t like me, so what if I winked at an old man in his fifties.”

“That’s not what they say.”

“I just looked at him sideways. The old man fell into the ditch with just one look. Can you blame me?”

Lian Zhou was going to be mad at Shan Yu and the villagers, and Shan Yu also felt the same.

The two of them quarreled until midnight with no result, and Wan Qiu couldn’t stay still. Seeing that Shan Yu stayed in Lian Zhou’s room until midnight and did not come back, he complained that his stomach was uncomfortable, which was exposed mercilessly by the angry Lian Zhou.

“Is your stomach aching just to go against me? Why do you always have stomach aches when Shanzi comes to see me? Are you annoyed? Where did a grown man learn so many tricks? Speaking of which, you have a child in your belly. Is it Shanzi’s child? What does your stomachache have to do with him? He’s not the child’s father!”

Lian Zhou was honest and rude. But it was still too much to hear him slander that the child was not Shan Yu’s. He also talked with red angry eyes.

Wan Qiu couldn’t win the argument, so he couldn’t explain it. He looked at Shan Yu aggrievedly, and when he saw his husband was sullen and silent, he really started to have a stomachache.

In fact, Shan Yu had always known that Wan Qiu was lying to him. He was originally worried about his mood, but now he said impatiently: “Stop pretending, okay?”
