Li Hongmei dismissively curled her lip, "Who knows, it must be his wife who’s stirring up drama."
Old Mrs. Li got out of her kang bed to put on shoes, "I’ll go have a look."
Even the barefoot doctor charges for a visit.
Li Dongmei and Li Hongmei followed closely behind, clearly in the mood for some excitement.
The barefoot doctor of Xiaoqingshan Village was a female physician who examined Lin Jiayi briefly, asked some questions, and seemed to have an idea in mind, "She’s pregnant."
Old Mrs. Li, who had just entered, caught the words, "Pregnant with what?"
The female physician was about to cheerfully speak, "Aunt Li, your daughter-in-law seems to be pregnant. It’s still early so I can’t be sure, but in a while, have Guangyuan take her to the hospital for confirmation."
Upon hearing that Lin Jiayi was pregnant, Old Mrs. Li’s earlier displeasure vanished like smoke, slapping her palm with joy, "Ah, I knew it! They’ve been married for several months; it’s about time for some news."
"Yes, it’s early days now, you need to be careful," the female doctor advised.
Old Mrs. Li waved her hand with a smile, "I know, I know. I’ve had three children myself, I’m quite aware. Besides, us country folks aren’t so delicate."
Li Guangyuan was also visibly thrilled to hear Lin Jiayi was pregnant.
After sending everyone off, he held Lin Jiayi’s hand with a guilty face, "I was wrong today, and I made you suffer. If my sisters took the money, let them have it. As their brother and sister-in-law, we should give them something when we earn money. Anyway, you have the final say over our finances. Please, don’t argue with them over this. Next spring, I’ll work hard to make more money for you."
Lin Jiayi, whose tears of grievance were falling, heard Li Guangyuan’s words, "We can’t wait until next spring. You need to find some other business to do as soon as possible. We can’t rely on selling vegetables forever."
How long would she have to sell vegetables before she could drive a car and live in a big house?
Li Guangyuan nodded hastily, "Okay, whatever you say."
"Also, it’s time for your two sisters to find husbands; they’re not getting any younger. Last time I went home, I asked my mother to help look around. I’ll ask her again soon, and if there’s a suitable match, we should set it up."
Those two sisters-in-law at home are only good at causing trouble, especially Li Hongmei. Marrying her off early would save trouble at home.
Li Guangyuan paused then nodded after a moment, "Okay."
Knowing she was pregnant made Lin Jiayi feel her spine straighten with pride.
In her past life, she had been a forsaken widow for half a lifetime, and eventually she came around. If Qin Yang could be unkind to her, she would not be blamed for being unjust to him.
He could have a child and expect her to be a stepmother; she could make him wear a cuckold’s horns.
But no matter how much she messed around with others, she never dared to get pregnant.
This was the first time she had been pregnant in her two lives, as if the resentment suppressed in her heart for two lifetimes was now released.
Furthermore, she realized that even Li Guangyuan’s mother treated her more politely since she became pregnant, and those two sisters-in-law began avoiding her, which gave Lin Jiayi an indescribable sense of superiority.
After resting at home for two days, she packed up and went back to her parents’ home in Daqing Mountain Village.
Daqing Mountain Village and Xiaoqingshan Village were very close to each other, just a short distance apart. Li Guangyuan wanted to accompany her out of concern, but Lin Jiayi refused him. Internally, she couldn’t help feeling smug.
Upon entering her parental home, her face was full of happy and smug smiles.
