Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1947 - 2010: More Trouble Again?

The three returned to their parents’ home, where the old couple had been waiting and had bought a lot of dishes the children loved. Seeing the three go upstairs, the old couple couldn’t stop smiling.

The lunch was also quite sumptuous, and such a family atmosphere was excellent. Li Yifei liked it very much, but unfortunately, his parents were gone, so he had no chance to be filial to them. Therefore, he respected the parents of his wives very much and often encouraged them to be filial to their family as well.

When it was time to eat, Li Yifei announced Xu Yingying’s pregnancy. The old couple was initially taken aback, then overwhelmingly joyful, and looked at their daughter in disbelief, asking, "Really?"

Xu Yingying nodded shyly and said, "Mom, it’s true. We just found out today."

Xu Yingying’s mother was full of happiness, and after confirming, she turned to the old man and said, "Old man, it’s true, Yingying is pregnant. I’m... I’m so happy."

Xu Yingying’s father was also extremely happy; this was the result the old couple had hoped for over several years. Xu Yingying’s mother was so excited she even shed tears, and the two daughters quickly helped her wipe them away.

"Don’t mind me; I’m just happy. Yingying is going to be a mom, and I’m going to be a grandmother. Isn’t it wonderful, isn’t it wonderful?" Xu Yingying’s mother said excitedly.

"Come on, Yifei, let’s have a drink. This is good news; my mom and I have been looking forward to it for years!" Xu Yingying’s father raised his glass, wanting to toast with Li Yifei, but it was a glass of white spirit. Li Yifei hesitated for a moment and said, "Dad, let’s drink less and take it slow!"

"It’s no problem. Down this glass, we can take our time with the next ones. I’m going to be a grandfather; we have to celebrate a little."

"Alright, let’s down it!"

The meal was very lively, and it was surprising to the three that the old couple didn’t bring up Xu Shanshan’s situation at all during dinner—they didn’t pressure her to find a partner or get married, nor did they mention anything about her having children. It seemed the old couple had shifted their focus.

No longer being pushed, Xu Shanshan actually felt a bit uncomfortable, muttered something to herself, but of course, it didn’t affect her mood. The family happily finished the meal, and Xu Shanshan went to the kitchen to do the dishes. Originally, Xu Yingying was supposed to do it, but the old couple directly refused and asked her to rest. Such chores shouldn’t be hers to do.

"Only a little over a month, huh? Well, there’s no rush, but you should concentrate on resting. Yingying is an older mother now, so you mustn’t make any mistakes, and you shouldn’t exercise excessively, just focus on relaxing."

Xu Yingying’s mother instructed.

"Mom, it’s not like it used to be. Now people can even go running and exercise at eight or nine months pregnant. I don’t want to just lie down or sit; that would be too uncomfortable." Xu Yingying said.

"You’re such a child; mom has been through it. I’m saying this for your own good; you have to listen."

"I understand, mom, but too little exercise is actually bad for the baby. Frequent exercise by the mother is also good for the baby’s health. I read this in a book, and the family doctor also says this is right," Xu Yingying said. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Xu Yingying’s mother nodded only then and said, "Is that so, then do as you like, but Yifei and Shanshan, you both keep an eye on her. She can exercise but not in excess."

"Hmm, the two of us will keep an eye on her!" Liu Yifei nodded quickly; as one of the ’heroes,’ after all, Li Yifei provided the seed, so he had to take responsibility too.

In the afternoon, Xu Yingying’s mother forced her daughter to take a nap, not allowing her to get up until she had slept for an hour. Xu Yingying secretly used her phone to text Li Yifei, who was drinking tea with her father, saying it was too torturous—that she wasn’t even tired, but had to sleep, and how on earth could one sleep in broad daylight?

Li Yifei glanced at the message and replied, "I can’t really say anything about this. Just lie down for a bit as rest!"

"Humph, they didn’t do this when they were pregnant! I don’t care; husband, you have to save me." Xu Yingying acted coquettishly.

Li Yifei pretended he didn’t see it because how could he save her? The old couple immediately elevated Xu Yingying’s pregnancy to the top priority in the household, and Li Yifei really had no right to speak on it.

In the evening, Xu Yingying’s mother cooked even more dishes and even bought a black chicken to stew soup for Xu Yingying. But when Xu Yingying saw the pitch-black chicken, she lost her appetite entirely, and even less did she want to drink the soup made from it.

So, the clever Xu Yingying pretended like she was going to vomit and had no appetite, avoiding the ordeal, and most of the black chicken soup ended up being finished by Li Yifei, with a portion drunk by Xu Shanshan. The reason was simple: she couldn’t be forgotten, otherwise she’d be upset too.

After staying at the Li family for two days, it was on the third day that Li Yifei brought his two ’wives’ home. On the way, he received a call from Murong Yuanqing, who went straight to the point, asking if he had obtained something. Li Yifei immediately thought of the brick at home and then said, "Yes, Elder Murong, I got a box—it was something I picked up on the side when carrying out a task a few days ago."

"I know. You snagged something from the Northern Military District," Murong Yuanqing chuckled, directly pointing the finger at Li Yifei.

"What you said, Elder, I didn’t snag anything of theirs. Plus, this wasn’t theirs but that Iranian’s. I’ve already done them a big favor by saving the person; why should I hand the item over to them?"

"You’re... You’re not picking up a treasure; you’re picking up trouble!" Murong Yuanqing suddenly chuckled wryly and said.

Li Yifei almost slammed the brakes, the two women sitting behind him hurriedly looked at him, Li Yifei pulled over to the roadside, and said, "Elder, you should clarify this for me, why is the thing I picked up trouble?"

"Isn’t it just trouble? Do you know what you brought back?"

"No, I was going to ask you!" Li Yifei replied.

Murong Yuanqing then said, "I don’t know the specifics either, but I heard from people in the northern military district that this thing is actually the treasure of a sect, a treasure of great value."

"Ah?" Li Yifei blinked, frowned, and said, "It’s a treasure? Isn’t that great? How did I get it become trouble? I don’t believe they can come to snatch it!"

"It might just be the treasure of that sect, I’m not sure, as I haven’t seen the thing yet." Murong Yuanqing said, "Describe the treasure to me!"

Li Yifei described the box, Murong Yuanqing interrupted him, saying, "I asked you to describe the treasure, why are you talking about the box."

"The box won’t open, I only saw the box, don’t know what’s inside!"

"So... it’s yet to be determined what’s inside. From what you said, the box is heavy, about the size of a brick but weighs twenty to thirty pounds, it’s likely a special metal."

"I don’t know if it’s metal either, looks like jade but isn’t, I couldn’t figure it out after bringing it back and just left it there. Should I take some photos and send them to you when we get home?"

"Sure, send them over, I’ll ask someone." Murong Yuanqing said, "I’m just reminding you, if there’s nothing inside then forget it, but if it’s really the treasure of that sect, you might be in trouble."

Upon hearing this, Li Yifei raised his eyebrows and asked, "Elder Murong, where does this trouble come from, who would want to find trouble with me?"

If Murong Yuanqing considers it trouble, then it might really be trouble, so Li Yifei frowned.

Murong Yuanqing just mentioned a word, "South."

South? Li Yifei was puzzled, but then realized, the South among East, West, South, and North... damn, you’re kidding, right? I picked up something randomly and brought another big boss?

"Are you sure?" Li Yifei asked.

"I also heard the news, now many people know you’ve got that treasure, if it’s really the thing of that sect, then the South might intervene, that old fellow has deep ties with that sect, so I wanted to remind you."

"Hold on a moment." Li Yifei’s mind spun quickly, then he said, "You’re saying the boss in the south might come out to find trouble with me because of this thing?"

"Looking for you to hand it over." Murong Yuanqing corrected.

Li Yifei glanced at the two women behind him, opened his mouth and said, "That would indeed be troublesome, but I don’t know him, just give it to him, why?"

"You’re quite right there, I was just saying to remind you, I can’t interfere in this matter, even if I did the other party wouldn’t listen, so you’ll have to handle it yourself, whether to give or not, it’s your decision!"

"Oh, that’s fine, thanks Elder Murong, I’ll consider it!"

"Hmm, that old fellow isn’t like me, you should think carefully." Murong Yuanqing said.

Not easy to deal with, Li Yifei thought, as Murong Yuanqing hung up the phone, Li Yifei rolled his eyes, Xu Yingying asked what happened, Li Yifei explained the matter, Xu Shanshan snorted and said, "Our family now has three experts, if that person is polite, we welcome, if not, then we’ll show them what strength means."

"Shanshan, don’t speak recklessly!" Xu Yingying reprimanded, then turned to Li Yifei and said, "Honey, what exactly is that thing? If it’s not too important, giving it to the other party doesn’t matter, to avoid provoking such a strong opponent."

Li Yifei nodded, glanced at the somewhat unconvinced Xu Shanshan, turned to Xu Yingying and said, "I’m thinking the same, but let’s see what the other party intends, if they ask politely, giving it away doesn’t matter, if not..."

At this point, Li Yifei grinned, although the Li family isn’t a major family now, it’s the best in the province, a notable family in the north, the strength of the members isn’t weak either, Li Yifei’s personal strength is also super strong, if they want to play hard, Li Yifei wouldn’t be afraid.

He’s now at his peak, very confident in himself.

Continuing to drive, Li Yifei sent the two women home, then went to take out the brick, took photos, and sent them to Murong Yuanqing, as for what this thing is, Li Yifei naturally doesn’t understand, so he just waits for Murong Yuanqing’s response without studying it further.
