Chapter 1000: 1000 chapters from the beginning Chapter 1000: 1000 chapters from the beginning The tree was laden with yellow-orange loquats.
From ti to ti, a few would fall into Su Yunjin’s family courtyard.
Auntie Song’s loquats were small, not as big as those sold in town, but what they lacked in size, they made up for in unexpected sweetness. Su Yunjin peeled a few to eat.
Su Ningxiu liked them too.
She said they were sweet.
She also said she wanted to chill half of them in the well.
Once chilled,
they were even more refreshing when scooped out.
In the past, Su Yunjin loved eating loquats that had been chilled, always placing them in the well during the day and taking them out at night.
The chilled loquats were both sweet and icy.
Eating them was especially cooling.
Now that Su Yunjin was pregnant, with the child still small in her womb, she dared not eat the chilled loquats and settled for a few that weren’t chilled.
Auntie Song said her daughter-in-law had gotten pregnant because of a secret formula given by Su Yunjin. As Su Ningxiu ate the loquats, she glanced at Su Yunjin curiously.
“Little sister, did you really help Auntie Song’s daughter-in-law get pregnant?” Su Ningxiu didn’t see any problem with her question. However, Su Yunjin couldn’t help but laugh out loud at the inquiry.
She teased with a twinkle in her eye, “Elder sister, I don’t have that ability, how could I help Auntie Song’s daughter-in-law get pregnant?” Realizing the ambiguity in her own words, Su Ningxiu started laughing as well.
After teasing her elder sister, Su Yunjin understood what Su Ningxiu really ant and explained, “Elder sister, it’s like this, I happened to hear a secret formula, and Auntie Song said her daughter-in-law had not been pregnant for many years. The formula I learned about was one that could help won conceive more easily. So, I just ntioned it to Auntie Song.”
“Little sister, is that formula really that amazing?” Su Ningxiu grew interested and was quite curious about the secret formula Su Yunjin spoke of. Su Yunjin playfully teased Su Ningxiu, “Elder sister, you haven’t even married Wang ng yet! Why are you so eager to have sons with him?”
Su Ningxiu blushed deeply.
And she asked no more about Su Yunjin’s secret formula.
Su Yunjin offered to tell her, but Su Ningxiu declared she wouldn’t listen. Otherwise, her little sister might really think she wanted to have sons with Wang ng! She was just asking casually.
Su Ningxiu didn’t want to hear it, so Su Yunjin didn’t insist. But sohow Wang ng found out that Su Ningxiu was staying with them.
Upon learning that Su Ningxiu was staying with Su Yunjin’s family, Wang ng ca to visit practically every day, claiming he was there to see Brother Gu Ya and his younger sister-in-law, Su Yunjin. In reality, it was clear that his true motive was for Su Ningxiu.
Su Yunjin and Gu Ya were just a pretext for Wang ng to have a chance to see Su Ningxiu. Anyway, since Wang ng and elder sister Su Ningxiu were already betrothed, and it was only proper for Wang ng to visit his fiancée’s ho, Su Yunjin turned a blind eye and let her sister and Wang ng get to know each other better.
Wang ng was always ticulous and proper in his actions.
Every ti he ca to Su Yunjin’s house, he never ca empty-handed, always bringing various delicacies.
Today was no exception; Wang ng brought pastries and cakes. Su Yunjin, eating her cake, sat to one side and noticed Su Ningxiu and Wang ng, who seed sowhat embarrassed.
Suddenly she felt a bit superfluous.
She cleared her throat.
Picked up a plate of pastries from the table,
and, finding an excuse, slipped away.
Leaving Su Ningxiu and Wang ng to talk in the courtyard.
“Xiuxiu, are you all right?”
No sooner had Su Yunjin left than Wang ng tried to take Su Ningxiu’s hand, only to have her deftly avoid his grasp.
