Rushing to the Xiao Family’s house, she ended up with nothing as Mrs. Xiao chased them away in just a few words.

In fact, she abandoned what she was doing and headed straight for those two old ladies’ homes.

Team Leader: "..."

Was he making things worse by trying to help?

Xiao Chenxing’s eyes rolled, and she picked up the enamel tea mug beside her, shuffling after.

Hehe, mom’s scolding, mom’s tired, let her have some tea, scold some more, keep the throat moist.

Great idea!

The team leader resigned himself to it and followed them, finding Mrs. Xiao already passionately scolding.

Don’t even mention anyone trying to mediate; even the dogs passing by would get kicked.

"Alright, alright," the team leader intervened, "that’s enough."

"How can it be enough? Our Ranran is pregnant, it’s hard on her, and even when she naps outside, it’s pointed out sarcastically.

Huh? Do you think Song Shilan is easily bullied?

I’ll just say it today, if anyone bullies my daughter-in-law again, I’ll rip their mouth!"

Inside the house, the aunt feeling wronged opened the door to seek an explanation, only to be grabbed by the hair by Mrs. Xiao, pinned down, and beaten mercilessly.

Taking a beating twice a day, only getting tougher with each.

The excitement dispersed, and the news of Wen Ran’s pregnancy spread like wildfire.

Days passed, and soon it was time for the autumn harvest.

Wen Ran’s belly had grown significantly.

Feeling her unusually large belly, Wen Ran felt it was necessary to make a trip to the hospital.

"Let’s go, let’s go."

Loading things onto the ox cart, Mrs. Xiao nagged, "I still need to go along, that girl Star is really unreliable."

Xiao Chenxing pouted, dissatisfied, "How am I unreliable?"

"It’s just the way you look, unreliable."

Hongguo quietly got on the ox cart as well, "I’ll go too."

Mrs. Xiao: "... Aren’t you supposed to be studying?"

"What’s studying compared to sister?"

Hongguo earnestly said, "Besides, with things so chaotic now, one more person means more strength."

Saying that, she pulled an axe from her coat, "See, much safer now."

Xiao Chenxing: "!!!"

She was shocked, "Wow, you’re awesome!"

After lamenting, Xiao Chenxing sighed, "No wonder I couldn’t find the axe earlier, you took it."

Hearing this, Mrs. Xiao instinctively felt something was off, "What do you mean?"

Xiao Chenxing chuckled, pulling a kitchen knife from her coat, "Originally, I wanted the axe, but... oh well, the kitchen knife will do."

Wen Ran held her belly, laughing till she rocked back and forth, giving a thumbs up, "No wonder you all came with me!"

Just going along with it.

Mrs. Xiao...

Mrs. Xiao was too exhausted to even comment.

Resigning herself, she had to comfort herself while bearing the heartache.

Well, at least this way, if they get bullied, they know to pick up a weapon to protect themselves.

Just as Mrs. Xiao was about to have Mr. Xiao set off, Shen Yueyue from next door also rushed out, "Me! I want to go too."

Xiao Chenxing, who always clashed with Shen Yueyue, instinctively jabbed at her, "What are you going for? To weigh down the cart?"

"Ha, I’m not bragging, but besides Wen Ran, it’s me with the best combat ability here.

And you ask why I’m going? I’m not going there to have fun or date, for sure."

Her words were aimed directly at Xiao Chenxing.

Predictably, she flared up, "Hey! Shen Yueyue, I warn you, don’t go too far."

"Oh, I’m going too far, what will you do about it?"

Shen Yueyue, being quite agile, argued with Xiao Chenxing while hopping onto the ox cart, "Do you know why you can’t outtalk me?"

"You’re being unreasonable, you’re using underhanded tactics!"

"Haha!"

Shen Yueyue looked at Xiao Chenxing contemptuously, "Because everything I say is the truth!"

"Aaaaah~ Shen Yueyue, I’ll kill you!"

"Come on, come on! Who’s afraid of who! Let’s fight!"

Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao sitting in front: "..."

The old couple exchanged a helpless look.

Sigh, what to do.

Since Shen Yueyue joined the Silly Deer Team, the family atmosphere has been fiery every day.

It’s constantly blowing up or on the verge of blowing up.

"Well," Mr. Xiao comforted, "just think of it as finding Ranran a playmate, as the saying goes,

’Good health requires a good mood.’

As long as the kids are happy, that’s what’s important.

Arguing a bit is no big deal.

Wen Ran agreed wholeheartedly.

The arguments were still within her bearable range. If it ever became unbearable...

Hehe, her prowess would put all opposition to shame.

Arguing all the way, they arrived at the hospital, got checked, and guess what, twins!

Wen Ran was overjoyed, Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao were thrilled to the point of fainting.

Wen Ran stared wide-eyed, patting her belly in disbelief, "Oh my, no wonder this belly is bigger than a normal five-month one, turns out it’s twins."

Everyone: "..."

Twins?

This description is really subtle.

"Hahaha," the doctor smiled warmly, "Yes, twins, they’re developing nicely. Go home and take care of yourself, eat well, drink well, sleep well.

But remember, as you get further along, if your appetite increases, don’t just let yourself eat freely.

If the babies grow too large, it’s a burden on the mother, not to mention how much harder it will be to give birth."

"Got it, I understand."

Wen Ran’s health was all good, instead, Mr. and Mrs. Xiao bombarded the doctor with questions.

The doctor patiently answered, though he frowned slightly at the room full of women, "Where’s the pregnant woman’s husband?"

"He’s a transport driver, on the road all year, rarely home."

The doctor sighed, oh well.

Taking care of a pregnant woman also means taking care of the family.

With money, you can eat well.

The Xiao Family, knowing the precautions, then took the energetic Wen Ran to the supply and marketing agency.

It’s a big happy occasion, they had to plan a feast.

However, at the agency, they encountered someone unexpected.

"Li, Li Yang?"

Seeing this man who often visited the Xiao Family, Shen Yueyue stroked her chin and nudged Hongguo, "Look, isn’t that Li Yang?"

Hongguo was startled, looked carefully, and confidently said, "It’s Li Yang."

"Then this woman beside him, is she his sister?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Hongguo’s smile almost disappeared, "No."

She had met Li Yang’s sister.

She definitely didn’t look like this.

"Ah!"

Even knowing this, Shen Yueyue scratched her head, "Then, is she a cousin?"

Hongguo sneered, "Have you ever seen cousins standing so close together?

Ha, shameless, eating from the bowl while looking at the pot."

"Don’t say useless things, if..."

If Xiao Chenxing sees this, it won’t end well.

"Li Yang?"
