The tycoon's wicked wife from the era of literature has been reborn.

Chapter 135 New Life

The young woman who had just gone to the restroom kept staring at Zhou Zhenghua.

I caught a glimpse of his dejected and resentful micro-expression.

Her intuition told her that something was wrong; this shouldn't be the expression of a groom about to get married.

Following Zhou Zhenghua's gaze, the woman saw Gao Qinghe's back and realized that this was the woman who had just taken her to the restroom.

If Sister-in-law Guihua hadn't said that this was the neighbor next door, she would have thought that this fashionable and elegant woman was a relative of the Zhou family who had returned from studying abroad.

The Ouyang family was already very dissatisfied with Zhou Zhenghua's family.

However, I had never personally visited Shanghe Village before, and I had high hopes for this village with its relatively good geographical conditions.

When I entered the village this morning, I realized I had been naive.

Of the Zhou family members, only Zhou Zhenghua was somewhat pleasing to the eye; as for the others...
Neither Zhou Er's wife nor Zhou Er's brother showed up, as Zhou Er's wife was in postpartum confinement and Zhou Er's brother was taking care of the baby.

Brother Zhou and his wife Guihua were busy taking care of everyone, but they forgot about the existence of the relatives who had accompanied the bride.

After sending the bride into the bridal chamber, Zhong locked the door immediately, saying it was a rule and a custom.

The Ouyang family had never seen anyone separate the two main characters at a wedding banquet and lock the bride up so she wouldn't see any guests.

But thinking that it wasn't a big deal to do as the Romans do, I didn't say anything.

Later, villagers and Zhou's relatives arrived, grabbing them and touching and looking at them as if they were examining monkeys in a zoo.

Ouyang Yan's cousin's rhinestone brooch was stolen by someone in the chaos.

In response, Mrs. Zhong simply said, "If I had known this thing was valuable, why would I have brought it out? Now that there are so many people around, I don't even know who took it, and I don't even know where to look for it!"

My aunt got angry and questioned those Zhou family relatives, but they ignored what she was saying and just kept talking and laughing in their dialect, treating her like a joke.

If Zhou Zhenghua hadn't appeared in time, sincerely apologized, and offered compensation, my aunt would have immediately knocked on the lock of the bridal chamber and left with everyone.

In short, every minute that the Ouyang family members stayed at the Zhou family's house was torture.

The Zhou family, however, were completely oblivious, and instead felt smug, as if they thought, "You came of your own volition."

The impression was already bad, and when they noticed Zhou Zhenghua's subtle emotional change, the Ouyang family members were genuinely worried for Ouyang Yan.

But remembering how everyone had tried to persuade this girl who was deeply in love, but to no avail, they felt heartbroken and helpless.

"Never mind, she chose this path herself, let her walk it herself," the aunt said softly.

The young woman stared at the lock on the bridal chamber, thinking that such an absurd thing had been eradicated in the last century.

I never expected to see him at the Zhou family's house.

The wedding banquet officially begins.

Judging from the sixteen dishes, both meat and vegetables, Mrs. Zhong has gone all out this time, determined to make a name for herself in the village during her youngest son's wedding.

Perhaps because she had been flattered so much today, including by leaders from the town and county, she was all very friendly when she saw Gao Qinghe at the table.

"This this!"

Huang Yanqiu patted the empty seat next to her and waved for Gao Qinghe to come and sit with her.

Gao Qinghe sat down with a smile, and when she saw Zheng Laowu next to Huang Yanqiu, she raised her eyebrows slightly.

Looking up, I saw that Zheng's other brothers and sisters-in-law were sitting alone at another table.

Gao Qinghe glanced at Huang Yanqiu. "They've separated their households?"
The dishes were served, and Zheng Laowu got up to take them: a plate of steamed pork with rice flour.

After hesitating for a moment, I placed it near Huang Yanqiu, since she loves to eat meat.

Huang Yanqiu didn't even glance at Zheng Laowu, but shook her head at Gao Qinghe, indicating that they hadn't separated the family.

She hesitated and glanced down at her stomach. Gao Qinghe followed her gaze, looking puzzled.

"You need to use the restroom too?" Huang Yanqiu rolled her eyes at her, annoyed. "No!"

She then placed her palm on her stomach.

Gao Qinghe was still puzzled. "You've gained weight, so what?"

and many more!

Speaking of weight gain, it's only been half a month since I last saw Huang Yanqiu, but she seems to have gotten a lot rounder.
Has the Zheng family's situation improved?
Or did Huang Yanqiu pay for her own food?

If it's the latter, Gao Qinghe has nothing to say. Huang Yanqiu can spend her own money however she wants, since she won't spend much on food and drink anyway.

I used to eat very poorly, but now that I have the financial means, I really should eat more to improve my diet.

Gao Qinghe's only complaint was that Zheng Laowu's whole family benefited from the deal.

However, judging from where Zheng Laowu is sitting today, the couple shouldn't be too stupid and won't suffer a big loss.

Huang Yanqiu looked at Gao Qinghe expectantly, thinking that she understood.

As a result, she just pinched her cheek and said, "You should eat more and eat better. It's just that you're gaining weight a little too fast. You must have a body type that's prone to weight gain. You need to maintain a balanced diet."

For example, with this steamed pork with rice flour, two pieces are about the most you can eat.

Huang Yanqiu's face twitched violently; she felt that Gao Qinghe was truly infuriating.

He simply grabbed her hand, pressed it against his stomach, and said, "I'm pregnant."

"So what if you're pregnant? What's the big deal?!"

Suddenly realizing that she was pregnant, not carrying any random thing, Gao Qinghe stood up abruptly, staring down at Huang Yanqiu.

All the villagers at the table looked at her.

Afraid of losing face, Huang Yanqiu quickly pulled her down and made her sit up again, bowing her head and nodding gently twice.

Gao Qinghe was stunned for a full three seconds before she regained her senses, which had been racing due to her shock.

"How many months ago? When was it discovered?"

Zheng Laowu said cheerfully, "Four months."

Huang Yanqiu glared at him, "You have no right to speak here!"

Zheng Laowu shrank back, not daring to speak again, and obediently served the dishes, placing all of Huang Yanqiu's favorite foods in front of her.

The villagers said he was biased, but he didn't seem embarrassed at all and just kept smiling apologetically.

The joy of becoming a father was impossible to hide.

"Four months," Gao Qinghe calculated the time, and the day she was diagnosed with the virus was exactly the day before she took Huang Yanqiu away.

No wonder she hadn't seen Huang Yanqiu menstruate for those three months; she had assumed it was due to long-term malnutrition and menstrual irregularities.

Their eyes met, and Huang Yanqiu, touching her belly, said with a determined look:
“I have a feeling that this is a girl, and I want her to have the best life, to go to university, to have a job, and to marry the person she loves in the future.”

"Qinghe, I've made up my mind. I want to learn to drive so I can have my own car and make money by transporting passengers and goods."

Gao Qinghe paused for a long time before looking into her bright eyes and nodding.

"I'll have Jiang Baohai ask around about driving schools later. Once you get your driver's license, I'll help you find a used minivan."

Huang Yanqiu smiled happily and gladly picked up two large pieces of steamed pork with rice flour for her. The pork was a perfect mix of lean and fatty meat, and it tasted delicious without being greasy.

While eating, Gao Qinghe looked at her stomach with concern, "Learning to drive is tiring, are you sure you want to go now?"

Huang Yanqiu said, "We didn't know about it before. We were running and jumping around without any problems, so we'll definitely be fine learning to drive."

Gao Qinghe glanced at her newly showing belly; there was actually a little one inside! How amazing!
