Fang Pingying watched Luo Zhiming’s retreating back, feeling somewhat emotional.

Speaking of this younger brother-in-law, he’s actually not a bad person.

Generous, loyal, and sweet-talking, but he’s not very serious about his career and is lecherous; whenever he sees a pretty girl, his eyes practically pop out of his head.

Moreover, an important point is that one shouldn’t get involved with him in financial matters, otherwise, he tends to have crooked ideas.

Remembering how Luo Zhiming almost got himself imprisoned in a previous life due to money and women issues, Fang Pingying shook her head, hoping that this life Luo Zhiming would not repeat the same mistakes.

Luo Zhiyong seeing Fang Pingying shaking her head, asked her cluelessly, "What’s wrong, did Fang Xiu say something to you when you went to borrow the sewing machine just now?"

"No, Fang Xiu was nice today; she lent me the sewing machine without saying anything." But then, recalling how Fang Xiu’s expression changed when she first saw her, Fang Pingying mused and added, "However, I think Fang Xiu might come to me for something soon."

Luo Zhiming didn’t understand, "What matter?"

"Not sure yet, I’m guessing it’s related to my recent business dealings." Considering all the angles, Fang Pingying figured it must be related to money, specifically the money she earned from her recent business dealings.

But she wasn’t certain, so she specifically told Luo Zhiyong, "But it’s just my wild guess, might not be true, don’t go spreading it to mom and dad."

Luo Zhiyong glanced at Fang Pingying dismissively, "Do you think I’m someone who talks too much?"

Then, he pulled Fang Pingying closer to himself, and lowered his head as if to kiss her.

"No, no," Fang Pingying sat next to the sewing machine, which was covered with needles and threads for making clothes, afraid of hurting him, she pushed him away with a smile, "Don’t bother me, I’m making clothes, otherwise when it gets colder, there won’t be any clothes to wear."

Luo Zhiyong noticed she was using the fabric bought from the market last time, laughed and said, "It’s already the tenth month of the lunar calendar, it’s time to wear cotton-padded clothes, what’s the use of these clothes now?"

"How can you say there’s no use? I’ll make the clothes a bit larger, they can be worn over cotton-padded clothes when it gets cold." Fang Pingying had purposely taken more fabric when she last bought some, making bigger pieces was not an issue for her.

The couple was chatting softly in the room when suddenly they heard voices outside.

"Have you talked to your mom about it yet, how are you planning to handle it?" A man’s voice, sounding familiar but Fang Pingying couldn’t recall who it was.

Then, Luo Cuilan’s quiet voice followed, "I dare not tell my mom, after the last incident I was almost beaten to death by my parents, if they find out about this, especially with my elder brother still at home, I don’t know what to do."

It didn’t need saying, the man was definitely Zhang Jianguo.

Fang Pingying and Luo Zhiyong exchanged a look; their expressions immediately turned grave as they realized this was definitely not about anything good.

Indeed, Zhang Jianguo continued speaking, "What will you do then? You can wait, but your belly cannot, if it grows bigger, the villagers will find out, and you will be laughed at."

The couple probably thought there was no one at home, as the volume of their conversation was not deliberately lowered; Luo Zhiyong and Fang Pingying heard everything clearly inside the house.

Without a doubt, these two were Zhang Jianguo and Luo Cuilan, and this was their second time having a premarital pregnancy.

Only then did Fang Pingying realize, the events of the past life and this life hadn’t changed; it was just that in the past life she had confused the timeline.

Inside the house, upon hearing these words, Luo Zhiyong’s face turned dark with anger.

He initially wanted to rush out and beat Zhang Jianguo up, but after all, he was no longer the hot-headed youth of eighteen or twenty years old, and having been an officer in the army for years, he had become more composed.

He considered for a moment inside the house until his mood had somewhat calmed down before finally stepping out the door.

Luo Cuilan, initially after hearing Luo Zhiming calling Fang Pingying and others to their mother-in-law’s house, then hearing a noise in the courtyard, thought that Luo Zhiyong and the others had indeed gone out. She didn’t expect Luo Zhiyong to be in the house. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

She immediately turned pale with fright, "Big brother..."

Luo Zhiyong frowned, glanced at her, and nodded towards the house, "Go inside, I have words for Jianguo."

Luo Cuilan saw that Luo Zhiyong didn’t look too good, worried he might confront Zhang Jianguo, she attempted to beg for leniency, "Big brother, don’t..."

But before she could finish, Luo Zhiyong raised his voice and rebuked, "Get inside, your sister-in-law is in there, didn’t you hear?"

Seeing Luo Zhiyong get angry, Luo Cuilan dared not speak further; she glanced at Zhang Jianguo and then went into Fang Pingying’s room.

Upon her entry, Fang Pingying asked her to sit on the kang bed and poured her a cup of water from the thermos, then peeked at her belly, "How many months?"

Because of the previous incident regarding the dowry, Luo Cuilan hadn’t spoken much with Fang Pingying these past few days, and her expression was somewhat awkward.

She was silent for a moment before finally replying, "I don’t know, I dared not go to the hospital."

"How did you know you were pregnant then?" Fang Pingying asked again.

Luo Cuilan lowered her head and said softly, "My period hasn’t come, and I’ve been feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit all this while, exactly like during my last pregnancy."

Regarding her sister-in-law, she really didn’t know what to say, and moreover, she had no authority over this matter.

She sighed lightly and said, "Tomorrow let mom take you to the hospital for a check, we need to confirm it’s pregnancy, not some illness."

Convinced, Luo Cuilan assured Fang Pingying, "It’s definitely pregnancy, I know my own body."

Of course, the matter was known to her personally; Fang Pingying nodded and fell silent for a while.

After eating for a bit, she then said, "Since it’s like this, why not just marry earlier? Anyway, you are already engaged, it’s just about getting a certificate."

"I..." Luo Cuilan hesitated for a long time before she stammeringly said, "I... want to wait until the end of the year, Jianguo’s parents said that’s an auspicious day."

Fang Pingying truly felt helpless; if it were anyone else, Luo Cuilan might be accommodating, but at her own home, she wouldn’t accommodate anyone, often even bossing around Yun Mei.

But now, for a man, she was lowering her stance so much, whereas that man who claimed to love her hasn’t shown much consideration towards her.

Initially unwilling to speak further, but seeing the hesitant look on Luo Cuilan’s face, Fang Pingying couldn’t help but speak, "At this stage, why bother about an auspicious day? Is there only one good day throughout the year?"

Luo Cuilan did not speak, waited for a while, then finally looked up at Fang Pingying and said, "I don’t know, my parents and Jianyong’s parents all say so."

"It’s up to you what you really decide. If you are willing to marry earlier, later your big brother can talk to our parents. There are always auspicious days."

"I..."

Seeing Luo Cuilan hesitating again, Fang Pingying felt there must be more to it, and asked her, "Is there something else?"

Luo Cuilan hesitated for a moment, then somewhat troubledly said, "Actually, choosing the date was Jianguo’s parents’ idea. They consulted someone who specializes in Feng Shui, said I have a strong character and must marry Jianguo on the day they deem right, otherwise, our house won’t have peace."

These days, still believing in such things, and even under these circumstances, was Jianguo’s side really insisting on waiting until after the New Year to marry?

Fang Pingying frowned, asking Luo Cuilan, "Do Jianguo’s parents know about your pregnancy?"

"They know, Jianguo told his parents a few days ago."

"What did they say?"

"They said getting married and organizing the wedding banquet must wait until the end of the year, but if my family agrees, they suggested that I could move into their home first, which is essentially the same as being married." Luo Cuilan’s voice became fainter toward the end.

This showed she was aware that Jianguo’s parents’ words were excessive, but because she valued this relationship so much, she was hesitating whether to compromise, and she probably had a tendency to compromise already.

ps: Dear ones, my work will be on the shelves on October 1st. After that, Si Ye will update at least three Chapters daily. Then, based on the number of monthly tickets you cast, 40 more tickets will lead to an additional update. Remember, from October 1st to 7th, monthly tickets are doubled, which means essentially you are casting 20 tickets, and I’ll need to add an update. The more monthly tickets, the more updates Si Ye will do. (Hehe, actually, what this means is remind you all to save this month’s baseline monthly tickets to give more next month. Si Ye doesn’t mind adding more updates, as I’m aiming for the monthly leaderboard next month. Thank you, love you all.)
