"Chief, there is still no news from A-gu."

Upon hearing the news, the old man sitting in the chair did not say a word, but just closed his eyes. The few words he spoke were trembling, and he was extremely sad.

"I see."

Seeing the sad look on the clan leader's face, Mangu also felt uncomfortable.

She asked, "Heisang, is there no news about Xiuxiu?"

The young man then said, "I heard that the Gu family was also looking for Auntie, and they all went to Wenhai."

"I'm sure Wenhai is the most likely place to find Agu."

The clan leader sitting at the head of the family opened her eyes. The silver flower pendant on her ear swayed a little. The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were like ravines, deep and shallow. She slapped the table and said, "Gu family!"

She angrily said, "That old bastard Gu Jingshan! He even had the nerve to look for my Xiuxiu!"

"It was him who kicked his son and Xiuxiu out of the house and left them to fend for themselves outside, causing Xiuxiu to disappear for so many years."

The clan leader was already in tears, "I told her at the beginning that she was not allowed to leave Xinshui Mountain and go with that man, but she didn't listen to me. For some bullshit love, she eloped with that kid named Gu Kangyou."

"She ran away. She wanted to cut off all ties with me and the Shuixi tribe. But within a few years, Gu Kangyou died, and even Xiuxiu disappeared without a trace."

The clan leader grabbed Mangu's hand and said, "Ah Man, do you think Xiuxiu is still blaming me as her mother? I didn't agree with her being with Gu Kangyou and forced them to leave, so she is still blaming me."

Mangu comforted her: "Xiuxiu won't blame you, she is a good child."

The patriarch cried, "Why doesn't she come home then?"

Mangu looked reluctant and said, "We will send someone to look for her and bring Xiuxiu back."

The clan leader nodded, "We must find her."

She suddenly said, "No, I want to go find it myself. I must find Xiuxiu."

……

An Xi's belly was already very big, and Jiang Tingxia was terrified. He quickly helped her into the house and reminded her, "Walk slowly."

An Xi only said: "I am so bored staying at home, I must go out for a walk."

Chu Dan was the same. Maybe it was because the baby was big, so even though the baby was still young, she walked very carefully, holding her belly.

Liu Yuying was talking to Aunt Feng next door when she saw a group of pregnant women sitting in the yard. She came over and helped Chu Dan.

Jiang Tingxia invited them all to come in and sit down, and placed some preserved fruits, melon seeds and peanuts on the stone table in the yard.

Listening to a few people chatting, Jiang Tingxia picked up a candied fruit, but before he put it in his mouth, he smelled a strange smell.

Seeing her frown, An Xi asked, "Ting Xia, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Tingxia wanted to take the preserved fruit away, "This preserved fruit is bad, I smell a weird smell."

Aunt Feng chewed the preserved fruit and ate it with gusto. "It didn't taste weird. I ate it all. It was good."

Liu Yuying also picked one up and put it in her mouth, "It has no taste."

Jiang Tingxia heard everyone say this, so she picked it up and smelled it again. There was still a strange smell. She covered her mouth and almost vomited because of the disgust.

"That's weird," Liu Yuying saw Jiang Tingxia's big reaction, so she simply took the preserved fruit from Jiang Tingxia's hand and smelled it again, "It doesn't smell like anything to me."

Seeing Jiang Tingxia covering her mouth, Liu Yuying suddenly clapped her hands, "Oh!"

"Ting Xia, you are not pregnant."

Jiang Tingxia: "What is it?"

"Child," Liu Yuying asked Jiang Tingxia, "Have you had a poor appetite recently? You don't want to eat anything. When you smell something fishy or smelly, you feel nauseous and want to vomit."

Jiang Tingxia nodded blankly.

Liu Yuying then told her, "Then it's almost certain. You are probably pregnant."

Jiang Tingxia's face turned pale instantly, and she looked unbelievable, "I'm pregnant?"

"No way."

Liu Yuying laughed, "Our compound has good feng shui. Not long after you moved in, all the neighbors nearby got pregnant. The Goddess of Children was so busy trying to deliver the babies."

Liu Yuying, Chu Dan and An Qian looked at Jiang Tingxia with a smile on her face, but Jiang Tingxia sat there unable to laugh and even felt like crying.

She's pregnant now! How come it's so fast! It's only been a short time since she promised Li Changpu to have a baby, and she's already pregnant!

A few people were talking and laughing, but Aunt Feng, who was listening, had a stern face and turned away angrily, then walked out of the yard.

Chu Dan asked, "What happened to Aunt Feng? Who asked her to do this? Why did she suddenly look so sullen? She just left without saying hello?"

Liu Yuying slapped her forehead and said, "How could I have forgotten this?"

"This Aunt Feng is a petty person. I guess she overthinks it because I just said that everyone in this area has children."

Chu Dan asked, "What's wrong?"

Liu Yuying then explained that it was Aunt Feng’s previous daughter-in-law, Hua Yulan, who married someone else soon after she separated from Xiang Qianjin. Not only did the couple live a happy life, but Hua Yulan was also pregnant.

As soon as the news came out, everyone started spreading the word that Hua Yulan and Xiang Qianjin had been married for so many years but had yet to have a child because Xiang Qianjin had a problem and was infertile.

This made Aunt Feng very angry. She held her breath at home every day and forced Xiang Qianjin and his new wife to have children, but the new wife's belly was not moving.

The atmosphere in the neighboring house was extremely tense. The new daughter-in-law was not as taciturn as Hua Yulan. If she was uncomfortable with something, she would make a big fuss in front of Xiang Qianjin. Xiang Qianjin's relationship with his mother was strained because of his divorce from Hua Yulan. He was also under a lot of pressure because of the talk about his health problems. So the neighbors were always quarreling for no reason, a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days.

Now she heard that Jiang Tingxia was pregnant. Seeing that one or two people living nearby were pregnant, but there was no good news in her family, Aunt Feng couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.

……

Unlike Jiang Tingxia, when Li Changpu heard about this, he was so excited that he took Jiang Tingxia to the hospital immediately.

After the examination, Li Changpu took Jiang Tingxia to see the doctor for the results. Jiang Tingxia saw a pregnant woman with a big belly being pushed in, sweating profusely, and screaming in pain, "I don't want to give birth anymore! I don't want to give birth anymore! It hurts so much!"

Jiang Tingxia watched the pale, sweaty woman in labor being wheeled away, and suddenly felt a pain in her stomach. She was so frightened by the screams that were gradually fading away that she grabbed Li Changpu's sleeve.

The nurse called out in the corridor, "Is Jiang Tingxia here?"

Li Changpu turned around and looked at Jiang Tingxia, "Wife, it's our turn."

"go in."
