Yu Dong was surprised and then she was delighted. "That's great, it really calls for a celebration!"
Aunt Wang's smile widened as she rubbed the back of her neck. " Yeah, yeah don't worry I will call you and your family at my house for dinner after three months have gone by," then she took a glance around the surroundings once again and emphasised, " Just don't tell anyone yet, wait for the pregnancy to stabilise a little."
The villagers all believed in superstition, they feared the evil eye and for that reason alone they will hide any good news until it was secured perfectly. Aunt Wang was the sa she wanted to hide Uncle Fu's pregnancy until it stabilised, Yu Dong had no problem with it. After all, she wasn't a blabbermouth and wouldn't carelessly tell others about soone's business to anyone else. " Don't worry about it, I won't tell anyone. Don't you know already? I don't have any friends in this village to talk with anyway, who am I supposed to tell?"
" Well, that's true. That's the reason why I told you about it anyway since you got no friends" said Aunt Wang. As she spoke she even winked at Yu Dong in a deliberately cheeky manner.
Yu Dong "…." This old woman, she really wanted to punch her sotis.
Aunt Wang laughed. " Alright, I am just trying to tease you a little but don't think I am amazing? Even at this age, I was able to get my darling to bake a bun in his oven." She rubbed her nose in a manner that irked Yu Dong causing her eyebrows to twitch in annoyance, this old woman! Why didn't she realise that she was this irritating before? " Anyway, what I wanted to say was everything's fine with your husbands right?"
Yu Dong retreated when Aunt Wang whispered in her ear, though she called her Aunt Wang, she wasn't used to her touch. Yu Dong has always felt awkward with unfamiliar touch, since she and Aunt Wang rarely got together, it wasn't surprising for her to be uncomfortable with her close proximity, rubbing her ears she nodded her head. " Everything is alright. Why are you asking this though, since when were you so interested in my married life, Aunt Wang?"
Aunt Wang knocked on her head as she lightly chided her in an admonishing voice, " I am not interested in your married life at all, you idiot girl. It's just that …" she trailed off, and with a hesitant expression she added, " Don't think wrong of , it was just sothing that your uncle and I were talking about and this matter ca up while we were talking."
Yu Dong took a deep breath and extracted a little spiritual energy from the fragrant air as she spoke, " What's the matter? What is it that's making you hesitate like this?"
Aunt Wang sighed and said, "it's not a big deal. I and your uncle were just having a chat when the topic of Liu and Li's womb having no news till now ca up."
Yu Dong who was walking towards the paddy fields, stiffened as she turned to look at Aunt Wang with questioning eyes, " Aunt Wang, what exactly are you trying to say. Just speak it outright."
Aunt Wang's smile faltered as she licked her nervously. Ever since Yu Dong changed for the best it beca extrely difficult to talk with her those deep dark eyes that were fathomless made her so nervous every ti she wanted to speak to Yu Dong, this child gave off the aura as she was the elder one here and Aunt Wang lost her montum every freaking ti. But she can't do that today because this was important, "It's like this, both Liu and Li are in good health, right? Let's just ignore those years when they were starved every day because they didn't have enough to eat but now things are different. From what I have seen, unlike most of the families in the village, you guys cook at every day and that's sothing…err" when Yu Dong's gaze sharpened with an intensity that was asking her to hurry up and get to the point, Aunt Wang hesitated and finally took a deep breath as she said, " They have been married to you for so many years, Dong Dong. Don't you think that it's weird that their wombs made no noise till now? I an compared to a normal man and woman, it's hard for rs to get pregnant but still, it has been years."
Yu Dong did not know what to say. " Are you saying that my husbands have problems?"
'Eep! I think I stepped on a sore spot!' cried Aunt Wang but she still toughened her heart and continued, "That's not what I am saying, I think that you should for just as a precautionary asure have them checked." Then she lowered her voice as she whispered, " I am not saying that they are the ones with the problems but you need to think about what kind of environnt they lived in before your family separated, you shouldn't take those things lightly."
Yu Dong's deep eyes flashed as she thought about it carefully, that's right. Though she checked the physical conditions of Shen Li and Ye Liu with her spiritual energy, the two of them were different from the n on earth. Their physique was different from that of n, it was difficult for her to check them properly if she didn't even know how their bodies were built.
" I will think about it." There was no problem even having a casual check-up. But if sothing really turned out to be the case then she will not let that person go!
Sowhere around the paddy fields, Qiu Bai shivered. He stopped himself from sneezing out loud as he stared at the difficult task that was in front of him, " mother in law, do we really need to take care of these weeds all by ourselves?"
The old Yu Family was nowhere the sa as before, though Qiu Bai's wife, Madam Yu worked in the public sector and earned a decent sum of money they needed to pay Yu Cheng's academy fees and didn't have much savings at hand. Coupled with the fact that Grandma Yu gave ten silver taels to Yu Dong when Qiu Bai tried to burn her fields, they were really in a tight spot.
" Just get it over with, daddy," said Yu Tong sowhat impatiently, she was supposed to go to the docks today but because of her daddy's whining about how he can't do this and do that, she had no other choice but to change her mind and follow her daddy to the rice paddies, and now that they were here. He was actually saying this? How can she not get angry at him? Straightening up she stared at her dad and unhappily snapped, as she pointed to her mud-covered shoes, " I can do this, so why can't you? Don't forget that it was you who kicked sister Dong and brothers in law out, now that they are not here of course you have to work."
