C92 (1/2)

Thirteen years ago, Xiaowan's mother-in-law had saved the six year old Ershan from a human tooth pendant and there was an extra child in the tavern. If this were to be counted, then after fourteen years, there was finally a need to add a child to the Ling Xiao Inn.

Xiaowan looked forward to the baby in her belly. Whether it was her son or her daughter, they were both her precious daughters. She used to hope that she could spend time with her husband, hoping that time would go slower. Now, he couldn't wait to open her eyes until next spring.

When he went downstairs again, all of Uncle Biao's Ershan were already there. Xiaowan was very shy with a red face, but she still laughed out loud: ”When a baby is born, should I call him grandpa or grandpa?”

Ershan smiled at her. ”Sister-in-law, congratulations.”

Xiaowan was annoyed, ”You always call me by my name, why are you calling me sister-in-law today? ”Then, when uncle comes back next year, I will have to let my son have a first and second uncle.”

Aunt Zhang helped Xiaowan to sit down, and asked happily: ”Tell your uncle what you want to eat, don't be wronged, for this year we will pamper you.”

Ling Chaofeng stood at the side and watched his wife being surrounded by the stars with a gentle gaze. When Xiaowan looked at him, his heart felt warm.

Husband was not unhappy. That was the best. She would still cherish her body, hope that her mother and child were safe, and not teach her husband to worry.

Even when she was not pregnant, she was doted on by her family every day. She did not have to worry about this year being taken good care of. Instead, he hoped that this year, there would be no more weird customers coming to the inn, and only a few things to worry about.

At night, Da Qing came to the tavern to pick up Susu. Since Aunt Zhang had said that it would be inappropriate to reveal it in the first few months, she didn't know if she could tell Da Qing, so she decided not to mention it. She went back home as usual and watched Da Qing head towards the back of the village before entering the courtyard.

Auntie Chen was already tired from digging and had just rested. After knowing that her daughter had returned, she reminded her to sleep earlier, so she continued sleeping. But when she woke up and wanted to drink water, she saw Susu sitting under the roof alone in the middle of the night.

”Susu, what's wrong?” Auntie Chen sat beside his daughter, ”Are you uncomfortable, are you hungry?”

Susu said: ”Mother, Xiaowan is pregnant.”

Auntie Chen was overjoyed, ”Really, this is great. It's been a few months.

Susu told her everything, and the mother and daughter pair would go to the city's temple tomorrow to pray for Susu's blessings. However, Auntie Chen suddenly came back to her senses and asked, ”This is a good thing for Xiaowan, why do you look unhappy?”

”It's not that I'm unhappy, Mother. I was wondering if I could have such a day.” Susu lowered her eyes and said, ”Originally, I didn't think that there would be no life for me to meet good people, and that I would adopt a child that no one would want with mother in the future. But now that Da Qing is so good, my heart is greedy. ”I want to marry him, and I want to have children with him. However, with my unbearable past, if he knew that I was being abused by a forty to fifty year old man to ride on his back everyday, I …”

When it came to grief, Susu covered her face and cried. The people who once lived in the Infernal Realm were already begging for death with all their hearts, who would have thought that it would happen again.

Auntie Chen hugged her daughter and said with a pained heart: ”Susu, why not find a chance and explain it to Da Qing clearly. If he really doesn't care about it, then we might as well settle this happy matter quickly. At worst, we can just find a thatched cottage in the back mountain of the inn. As long as you don't feel wronged, Mother will do whatever you want. ”

Susu cried: ”Mother, I let you suffer with me.”

However, Auntie Chen said: ”Foolish child, I have let down your father and mother. I was unable to take good care of you and also failed to teach your brother well. Susu, since you have escaped, you must live well and stop thinking about those things. With mother here, Mother will help you. ”

Thus, on the morning of the second day, after sending Susu and Da Qing off, Auntie Chen brought some snacks and fresh vegetables that she picked and headed towards Da Qing's home at the tail of the village.

Da Qing was naturally happy to see her, but Auntie Chen went straight to the point, ”Elder sister, I am here to propose marriage with Susu.”

She described everything that happened to Susu in the two years she was in the capital, how she brought her daughter out of the capital, how she was being hunted, how she escaped to the Baisha Town, and how she was being saved by the Xiaowan.

The Auntie Chen said honestly: ”Susu is not a virgin, we do not want to hide anything from him, now that the two children are having a good time, they are not young anymore, there is no need to delay any further, some people might even want to gossip. I thought that if you and Da Qing are on good terms, I will hand my daughter over to you two. Or else, we would have left long ago and wouldn't have held up Da Qing's child. ”

Hearing that Susu had been in such a terrible situation in the past, Da Qing's mother sighed and said, ”The two of us have already planned this out and always feel that Susu's past has been bad. Otherwise, if she were to just die as a man, how would she be kicked out? She would be forced to stay in a foreign land, and even her parents would not be able to return home. I just didn't expect that child to be so miserable. ”

Auntie Chen looked at her worriedly. ”Elder sister, you are …”

Da Qing's mother waved her hand and said, ”How can you turn your back on me? We, Da Qing, are such good children. It's just one thing, our family is too poor, just look at this shack, how can we get married. I think that if they were to get married, I should let Da Qing follow you. If they are in the same village, it would only take a few steps. I only have one request, nothing more. ”

Auntie Chen's eyes were brimming with tears. Her two mothers held each other's hand while laughing. She was about to tell her daughter that they had traveled seven to eight miles to an inn under the bright sun.

Seeing her mother walking so far while drenched in sweat, Susu became anxious and asked worriedly, ”Did something happen at home?”

Auntie Chen sat down and drank a bowl of cold tea, then grabbed onto her daughter's hand. Without opening her mouth, his eyes reddened, she said to her daughter: ”Susu, mother was afraid that you would be embarrassed to speak, so she didn't discuss with you. After you left this morning, I went to Da Qing's home and told his mother about your matters.”

Susu was shocked, and asked hesitantly: ”H-how?”

The Auntie Chen said: ”She said, if you want to marry Da Qing, she only has one condition, and that is to have Da Qing come live with her. She said that her family is too small, and you cannot be wronged.”

Susu asked in a daze, ”Does she … not care?”

The Auntie Chen nodded her head, ”The two of them had actually already discussed this matter. It's decided that no matter how you used to be, they wouldn't mind, so if you don't believe me, go and ask Da Qing yourself.”

Ling Chaofeng stood at the counter and heard the words. When he looked up, he saw that Xiaowan was watching his from upstairs, she must have heard the commotion and came out. young lady's eyes were red, he must have been moved to tears.

He walked forward and said to Susu: ”I'll send you to the pier and ask Da Qing clearly.”
