314 Pregnant Woman
In the Chu Village.
It was a cloudy day with a cool breeze.
At noon, the empty space in front of the Chu family's new house was filled with tables and stools. The old people sat at the table and chatted happily. The children ran around, playing. Laughter filled the air. The entire village was as lively as the New Year.
Grandpa Chu smiled as he greeted everyone, "Everyone, take a seat. The banquet is about to begin."
The won in the village imdiately went to look for their sons and grandsons and pulled them over to sit on stools. There was a lot of delicious food today. It was said that there were twelve dishes.
There were four cold dishes, two stir-fried dishes, two braised dishes, and four stead dishes.
Chu Xuede was the first to co out of the house with a tray in his hand. He said loudly, "Four cold dishes, red oil pig ears, chicken feet with pickled peppers, preserved eggs with green peppers, and asparagus lettuce."
Soone ca out after him, shouting, "Two stir-fried dishes, lean at stir-fried with fungus, and double-fried pork."
"Two braised dishes, braised pork, taro chicken."
"Four stead dishes, stead taro, stead fish, plum pickled pork, and stead pork ribs."
The children imdiately cheered…
"Wow, wow, wow. There are so many dishes!"
"Aunt Chu, Uncle Chu, and Sister Qingzhi are too generous. There's so much delicious food."
"It feels like the New Year."
…
The left and right sides of the door were decorated with dried red chili peppers given by the villagers, which was a traditional token of good wishes.
Grandpa Chu was extrely proud. He stood at the entrance and spoke loudly.
"Today is the day we officially move to the new house. We welco everyone to co and join us."
Grandpa Chu gathered his emotions and said, "Let say a few more words."
"The Chu family can live a good life because I have a good granddaughter. If not for her, our family would definitely still be living in a dilapidated run-down house."
"I want to thank my granddaughter in front of everyone."
Grandpa Chu looked at Chu Qingzhi lovingly and gratefully. "Qingzhi, thank you. Ever since you ca back, it's as if good fortune has descended on our family. Not only has life improved, but my grandsons have also found the things they want to do. The two younger ones even went to school to study…"
As he spoke, Grandpa Chu could not help but cry. In the past, he only dared to dream of these. Now, even if it happened, he felt that it was unreal.
Granny Chu hurriedly handed him a handkerchief. "We old people get sentintal easily. My apologies, everyone. Old man, wipe your tears."
Grandpa Chu felt a little embarrassed. He took the handkerchief and quickly wiped his face. "I'm done speaking."
After Grandpa Chu finished speaking, the village chief walked over. "I also want to take this opportunity to thank Qingzhi."
"In the past half a year, because of Qingzhi, not only were the villagers able to make a living, but they could also save up quite a bit to renovate their old house. This was absolutely impossible in the past."
"Not only is she a lucky start to her family, but also to the Chu village."
After the village chief finished speaking, everyone applauded…
Chu Xuede echoed loudly, "Village Chief is right. Qingzhi is our lucky star. We should all thank her. Let say this. If anyone bullies her, it's the sa as bullying . I will definitely not let him off!"
"Count in."
"Count in."
So of the young n in the village echoed.
Chu Qingzhi smiled when she heard everyone's words. She felt good that her efforts were appreciated.
Grandpa Chu cleared his throat. "Everyone, eat and drink well. I announce…" He dragged out his voice. "The banquet begins."
"Yay!"
"We can eat now!"
The atmosphere instantly beca lively as the children cheered.
Li Qingyu walked towards the kitchen. "Qingyin, bring your children to eat."
Li Qingyin ca to help before dawn today and had been busy until now.
She shook her head. "Third Sister, we will just scoop so rice and eat in the kitchen."
"No need. There are seats for you. Quick, follow ." Li Qingyu pulled Xu Wenlin and Xu Songnian out.
Li Qingyin followed him out.
Wu Yaqing ran to sit at a table with the girls in the village. She was carefree, cheerful, and lively. Soon, they beca friends.
Chu Xiaotang looked at Wu Yaqing enviously. "Yaqing, your skin is so fair."
Wu Yaqing touched her face and smiled. "You girls are also very beautiful. You don't have to envy . Everyone has their own rits."
Grandpa Ning was invited by Grandpa Chu to sit with the village elder and the village chief. They had sothing in common to talk about.
Chu Xuhua, Ning Yuting, and the others sat with the young n in the village and had their own things to talk about. Of course, the most they talked about was the two of them getting married, making the two of them feel very embarrassed.
Speaking of marriage, there is sothing to ntion here.
During this period of ti, the entrance of the Chu Village was crowded with matchmakers from various villages.
Everyone knew that the Chu Village was getting better off. All the girls from other villages wanted to marry into the Chu Village.
Now, the unmarried young n in the Chu Village had beco popular.
Even the twelve or thirteen-year-olds could not escape the claws of the matchmaker.
Every ti the villagers talked about this, they would laugh.
Chu Qingzhi, Shen Ruyue, and the others sat at the sa table. The tables were filled with beautiful girls, like a flower basket filled with all kinds of flowers. It attracted the attention of the single young n.
No matter what, the housewarming banquet had finally begun.
However, a happy beginning did not necessarily prelude a happy ending. When everyone was almost done eating, a carriage drove into the Chu Village…
The carriage stopped at the edge of the open space.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a pregnant lady got out.
The lady was dressed in red and was very beautiful, but she gave off a feeling that she was a woman of the world. When they saw her, everyone subconsciously frowned.
The lady obviously did not expect to see so many people here. She was stunned for a mont, but she quickly recovered and put on a pitiful expression. "May I ask if Chu Xuhua lives in this village?"
Chu Xuhua's heart skipped a beat. He didn't know this girl, but she asked to see him. Sothing was wrong.
Shen Ruyue glanced at Chu Xuhua. It was a pregnant girl. Why was she looking for Xuhua?
When the Chu family heard this, the smile on their faces imdiately faded.
The villagers were dumbfounded. Who was this girl?
Chu Qingzhi knew that sothing bad was going to happen when she heard that. She said first, "Miss, let's talk in the room."
The lady looked at Chu Qingzhi, who was speaking, and her eyes flashed. She did not respond to her. Her gaze searched the crowd. When she saw Chu Xuhua, she imdiately walked towards him with her hands on her stomach. "Xuhua, I finally found you. You said that you would marry . You can't go back on your word!"
