143 Chapter 143: Had A Nightmare
Sister-in-law had it tough. She supported their family all by herself.
Their family was leading a good life now all because of Sister-in-law’s hard work.
“Ahem… It’s just a matter of putting in some effort. It’s not really hard work,” Qin Xiaoyao replied with a smile.
“It’s just that this sun is really scorching.” Qin Xiaoyao squinted at the sun outside and wiped the sweat off her forehead.
It was only the beginning of July. According to her husband, the hot weather would continue for another two or three months.
“Yes. It’s a good thing we bought this courtyard dwelling. And there’s a well in the courtyard too,” Song Yun added.
“I heard that the water level from the well at the end of the street has already dropped a lot.”
“The weather is getting hot, and there are many people who need water. Every family is lining up to get water.”
“Mom said Aunt Sun told her that if this situation continues, the water from the well will not be enough.”
Qin Xiaoyao’s heart skipped a beat.
“Surely it’s not that bad? It’s because everyone came to get water at the same time that the well water dropped so much.”
“Later on, no one is taking water anymore. The water level will rise back to normal the next morning.”
There was a live water source in the well. As long as the water source was not exhausted, there would be an endless stream of water.
It wasn’t scary that the water in the well decreased because people took too much water.
The scary thing would be the amount of water produced by the live water source could not keep up with the amount of water everyone was drawing.
Although she consoled her little sister-in-law and told her not to think too much, she knew very well in her heart.
If the drought continued, the well on that street would not be able to support so many people getting water.
She could not help but look in the direction of Song Que’s room. Qin Xiaoyao once again admired her attractive husband’s foresight.
The well water in her house was completely intact. Every time she went to look, the well was filled to the brim.
“Hehe! Sister-in-law is right,” Song Yun said with a smile.
“It doesn’t matter what’s going on outside as long as our family doesn’t lack water!”
Qin Xiaoyao nodded with a smile.
After a while, Madam Liu and Wang Xiaomei came to call them in for lunch.
Qin Xiaoyao and Song Yun stood up to wash their hands and help out.
At the dining table, Qin Xiaoyao took the chance to tell everyone about how Big Girl Li and Liu Xiaomei intend to come to town to rent a place.
When Madam Liu heard this, she was not surprised.
“Big Girl Li told me about this before she left. There is no need for Aunt Sun to ask around.”
“After her eldest daughter got married last year, she had an empty room. In addition to the guest room at home, there are two empty rooms.”
“Your Aunt Sun said before that she wanted to rent out those two rooms and collect some rent to supplement her family’s expenses. This is just perfect.”
Qin Xiaoyao smiled.
“That’s great. When Big Girl Li and Liu Xiaomei come over, they can be our immediate neighbors,” she said.
Madam Liu nodded with a smile.
Then, she couldn’t resist looking at Qin Xiaoyao’s tummy again.
She tried to restrain herself, but in the end, she gave in.
“Er… Big Girl and Daniu got married not long ago, and she…”
“Sanya, why don’t I accompany you to see Doctor Li later?”
The thing was that her daughter-in-law was working hard all day long. What if she was really pregnant and the hard work hurt the child?
She hadn’t thought of that before, but now that even Big Girl was expecting, what if her own daughter-in-law was expecting too?
Qin Xiaoyao was flabbergasted.
“Huh?” With a shocked utterance, she suddenly realized what her mother-in-law was talking about.
Her face immediately turned red.
She did not know how to answer her, so she turned to look at Song Que.
Then, the three of them turned to look at Song Que.
Song Que, who had been leisurely eating his meal and had nothing to do with the discussion, suddenly froze.
Thereafter, he said to Qin Xiaoyao, “Then follow Mother to have a check.”
Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes widened as she stared at Song Que.
If she remembered correctly, they didn’t do that, right?
Her predecessor and him, or rather, her predecessor and his predecessor, had never done anything like that either.
If they didn’t do that, how could she have a baby?
Song Que wasn’t bothered by Qin Xiaoyao’s gaze and continued eating.
No one noticed that the corners of his mouth had already curled up slightly.
When Madam Liu heard her eldest son’s words, she immediately looked at Qin Xiaoyao with a smile.
Then, when she looked at Qin Xiaoyao’s tummy, she was filled with even more anticipation.
It was as if Madam Liu knew that there was already a little life there.
...
Qin Xiaoyao was utterly speechless…
After dinner, Song Yun and Wang Xiaomei washed the dishes.
Qin Xiaoyao helped Song Que back to his room.
As soon as they entered the room, Qin Xiaoyao couldn’t help but complain.
“Mother wants to take me to see…”
“Sigh! Why didn’t you stop her?” Qin Xiaoyao frowned and glared at Song Que with a glum expression.
Song Que couldn’t help but laugh.
“Pfft… How do I stop her?”
His laugh made Qin Xiaoyao even more furious.
However, on second thought, it did seem that this matter was really difficult to explain.
“But you can’t just watch your mother… Gosh…” Qin Xiaoyao couldn’t continue anymore.
...
Song Que finally restrained himself and stopped laughing so outrageously.
“Mother is only afraid that you will hurt yourself by exerting too much strength. After the doctor has confirmed that you are fine, she will not interfere in the future.”
Qin Xiaoyao was still depressed.
“But…”
“Don’t worry,” Song Que continued.
His gaze dropped from Qin Xiaoyao’s face down to her tummy.
“Sooner or later, Mother will get her wish.”
Qin Xiaoyao felt her head explode.
She raised her head and looked at Song Que in disbelief.
She suspected that she must have been hallucinating.
As the woman stared at him so impudently, Song Que couldn’t help but blush.
He then lowered his head.
“Ahem… Mr. Wang needs this book urgently. I have to finish copying it by today.” As he spoke, he reached out for his brush.
At this moment, Qin Xiaoyao’s face was already blooming with joy like a flower.
“Hehe! I’ll grind the ink for you, Hubby!” She quickly came forward.
She didn’t hear wrong! Her attractive husband was going to accept her!
Hehe! Was she finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel?
She felt like she was about to explode from happiness.
“Mm-hmm,” Song Que replied in a low voice and allowed Qin Xiaoyao to help him without looking up.
Even without looking, he knew that this woman must be grinning very foolishly at this moment.
To accept her as his wife?
Hehe! It seemed like a good choice.
Besides, wasn’t she his wife now?
Since he had made up his mind, he would bind her to his side.
To a woman, what was more important than status?
As for a child…
In this life, his body was fine, and he could indeed have children.
It might be quite good to have a child with her, a child with a special ability talent…
Then, during the afternoon nap, Song Que had a dream.
He dreamed that Qin Xiaoyao was pregnant and gave birth to a chubby little boy.
The boy was as strong as an ox and could actually lift a small mountain.
He also caused trouble all day long and turned the whole house upside down.
This child made his elderly father so angry that he puffed out his beard in a fury, and his eyes nearly popped out.
In the end, he grabbed his walking stick and woke up in a rage…
As soon as he opened his eyes, Song Que saw Qin Xiaoyao staring at him with her big eyes.
When he saw that Qin Xiaoyao’s face was extremely similar to the little boy in his dream, Song Que got a big shock, and his body shrank back.
He wondered whether it was too late for him to change his mind now…
