You are unlucky and I am tough

Compared with the market in Qushan County, the market here sells a wider variety of things. The two bought ten pounds of pork in the meat market street to make braised meat, and then bought some dried bacon and dried fish, and two pounds of fresh beef.

Cheng Shuang asked Wei Qinglang to take the two children to drink some sweet soup at a roadside sweet soup stall, and then left alone and walked into an empty alley, where she bought thirty chicks, thirty ducklings, and six goslings from the mall.

Wei Qinglang looked up and saw her pulling a cage out of the alley, so he immediately went over to help.

"Why did you buy so much?" Wei Qinglang picked up the cage directly.

Cheng Shuang said, "Let's raise more chickens to lay eggs. We can make preserved eggs in the future. Besides eating them at home, we can also sell them to restaurants."

"If you want to start a preserved egg business, this may not be enough."

"Let's keep it first and talk about it later."

"Then shall we go buy vegetable seeds next?" Wei Qinglang asked after putting the cage in the car.

"I've already bought it." Cheng Shuang gestured to the backpack on her back. "I'm too lazy to run. Anyway, the two boys don't know where to buy it."

Wei Qinglang thought about it and nodded, "Then there's nothing else to do. Let's go to the city gate and wait for my aunt and the others."

The land route back to the village is from the south city gate. They had agreed in advance to meet at the city gate. The carriage stopped outside and waited for a while before Cheng Guqiu and his group arrived. They followed the carriage on foot, and the carriage was already loaded with a lot of things.

People also wanted to take a car, so a few people put the things in the two cars together and left one empty to take the people.

After everything was sorted out, Wei Nanxing came back. Wei Qinglang sat at the rear of his carriage, and the three carriages returned to the village together.

When coming, Cheng Shuang saw the village in front of Chengjia Village called Taohua Village on the boat. As soon as she mentioned it, the coachman knew the location.

The carriage moved quickly and arrived at Taohua Village in just over two quarters of an hour. After walking a little further, they saw the stone tablet of Chengjia Village. Along the way, they met many villagers from Chengjia Village who were reluctant to spend a penny on a boat and walked together to the county town to buy things.

"Cheng Shuang, you guys came back so soon and bought so many things."

When the family was unloading their things, Grandma Xu San came over with her grandson Xu Xiaohu. When Xu Xiaohu saw Cheng Chen and Cheng Xu, he immediately ran over. The three of them immediately started playing together. Their relationship became even better after being beaten together before.

Especially after Xu Xiaohu started attending classes with Cheng Shuang, the three boys had more common topics.

Cheng Shuang greeted Xu Sanpo with a smile and asked her if she had cleaned up the house.

"I'm almost done packing." Aunt Xu pulled Cheng Shuang aside and said, "Is it convenient for you to come to my house now?"

"What's wrong?" Cheng Shuang looked at her expression and asked, "Is someone at home feeling unwell?"

Grandma Xu lowered her voice and said, "It's just that Daqing's wife is pregnant. We didn't announce it until three months ago, but she might be tired after sitting on the boat for a day and a night. I think she doesn't look too well. I was wondering if you have time to go over and take a look."

Cheng Shuang smiled and said, "Congratulations, Third Aunt, you will soon be a great grandmother."

Grandma Xu also smiled happily and said, "It's still early."

"Then please wait a moment. I'll be right out with the medicine box."

Cheng Shuang went back to get her medicine box, said goodbye to her family, and followed Xu Sanpo to his house.

Xu Sanpo's house used to be very close to Cheng Shuang's house, but the new house is in the middle of the village, making it closer to Cheng Lao Da's family.

Bai Xiuqin was basking in the sun at the door with a big belly. When she saw Cheng Shuang coming over with a medicine box in her hand, she came over while holding her belly.

She smiled widely, "Cheng Shuang, where are you going?"

Aunt Xu knew that Cheng Shuang didn't like this family, so she took the initiative to say, "I feel a little uncomfortable. Please ask Cheng Shuang to come and see me."

Cheng Shuang didn't bother to pay attention to her and was about to go over, but Bai Xiuqin suddenly reached back and grabbed her arm, "Cheng Shuang, look, I'm already over six months pregnant, and I'm not eating well. I don't know how the baby is doing. You're a doctor, can you help me check and see if the baby is okay?"

Cheng Shuang was speechless. "My consultations are charged. Ask Cheng Caipeng to pay you and I'll see you."

"You still want money." Bai Xiuqin's face froze. "It's normal for doctors to charge for consultations, but the baby in my belly is your nephew, why do you still want money?"

Cheng Shuang pulled her hand back. "Sister Bai, you must be confused. My two brothers are still young, so how can I have a nephew?"

"You shameless bitch." A roar suddenly came from the backyard. Yu came out with a basin of dirty water and poured it directly at Bai Xiuqin's feet. "You eat and drink for free in my house, and you even want to use my family's money for medical treatment. What are you dreaming of?"

Bai Xiuqin's shoes were wet and her clothes were stained. She angrily said, "This is my best dress, Yu, you shrew."

"I am a shrew who is specifically designed to deal with shameless whores like you."

Cheng Shuang stepped back in advance to avoid being splashed by the water. She stood aside and watched the two of them pointing at each other and cursing. Then Cheng Caipeng ran out, and Bai Xiuqin immediately hugged his arm crying, and Yu picked up a broom and started fighting with him.

Cheng Shuang watched for a while before being pulled away by Xu Sanpo. Xu Sanpo shook her head and said, "There's still a lot of quarrels in this family. Cheng Caipeng has become quite capable. The common people who work hard in the fields are imitating the wealthy families in keeping concubines. This is really a disgrace to our Chengjia Village."

Cheng Shuang smiled without saying anything. Bai Xiuqin probably thought that Yu was soft-hearted and would definitely make room for her. However, Yu would become desperate and would not divorce, wanting only to wear them down. Cheng Caipeng was at fault first and had a child with her, but he still didn't dare to divorce her. The current situation was really gratifying.

Daqing's wife was sitting in the yard resting in the sun. When Cheng Shuang came in, Xu Daqing and his parents also came out of the yard.

Cheng Shuang saw that Daqing's wife looked unwell, so he quickly asked her to sit still and not move while he took her pulse.

After a moment, she said, "The baby is two and a half months old. There's nothing wrong with her. It's just that the noise and crowds on the boat, and the lack of air circulation has affected her breathing and blood circulation, so her complexion isn't good. She'll be fine after two days of rest, and there's no need for medicine. She's also a little anemic. Give her some pork liver and beef to boost her blood. She can also eat two eggs a day to keep her healthy."

Xu Daqing wrote down everything and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law. I'll go to the city tomorrow and buy two pounds of beef and two old hens that can lay eggs."

Aunt Xu pulled out ten coins from her sleeve and asked Daqing Niang to go to the kitchen and get a basket of vegetables. "Thank you for the trouble you made. We are relieved that you are alright."

"No need for the vegetables." Cheng Shuang pushed the basket of vegetables back. "I'll take the consultation fee. Ten cents is enough. If you feel unwell, come and see me anytime."

Coming out of Xu Sanpo's house and passing by Cheng Lao's house, there was still a quarrel inside. The walls of the houses given by the government were built with earth and were quite high, so I couldn't see what was going on. I could only hear Hu Chunhua swearing and the crying of a child. People from several neighboring families came out to peek in and see what was going on.

After seeing Cheng Shuang, he immediately called her, and Cheng Shuang was so scared that she quickened her pace and ran away.

When she returned home, several carts of things had already been moved into the house, and everyone was sorting them out. Cheng Guqiu was tidying up the kitchen, and Cheng Shuang put the medicine box away and went in to help her.

Cheng Guqiu saw her come back and asked with concern, "Are you okay? Who is sick in Xu Sanpo's family?"

Cheng Shuang said, "No one is sick. It's Daqing's wife who is pregnant. She was tired from the journey and felt a little uncomfortable. I went to check on her and she's fine."

Cheng Guqiu nodded. "So that's how it is. I'm glad you're alright."

As she spoke, she suddenly moved closer to Cheng Shuang and looked at her. Cheng Shuang didn't understand what her eyes meant, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong, aunt?"

"You and Qing Lang have been married for almost a year, right?" Cheng Guqiu's eyes fell on her belly. "Why is your belly still not moving?"

Cheng Shuang: “........?”

Cheng Guqiu glanced at Wei Qinglang who was busy in the yard outside and said, "You must hurry up. Qinglang is so good to you. You must give him a child."

Cheng Shuang smiled awkwardly: "We are still young, there is no rush."

"How can I not be anxious?" Cheng Guqiu said earnestly, "Shuang'er, you two are newly married and he cherishes you, but as time goes by, it's inevitable that love will fade. It will be better for him to have a child while your relationship is good. Otherwise, if you wait until your feelings fade and then have a child, he won't value it as much. So you have to plan for yourself. Having a child by your side is the most important thing."

Cheng Shuang felt a little helpless and embarrassed when she first listened to it, and she felt that women in this era were very sad.

She said calmly, "If what my aunt said is true, the child really can't be born so soon. Let him wait for three to five years. If Wei Qinglang is really like this, I will never give birth to a child for him in this life."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Cheng Guqiu looked outside nervously, afraid that Wei Qinglang would hear it.

"I know you have a good relationship, and he listens to you and dotes on you now, but Shuang'er, you can't be so foolish as to think that he will be like this forever. All men become fickle after a long time. He still has some money now, so if you don't have children, he can take a concubine back with good reason."

Cheng Shuang held her forehead and was about to say some inspirational words about independence for modern women when she caught a glimpse of Wei Qinglang coming in.

She blurted out, "Wei Qinglang, come here."

Wei Qinglang, who was carrying two wooden barrels, looked confused. He put the barrels down and walked away puzzledly, thinking that he didn't seem to do anything, so why did he feel murderous in his tone?

Cheng Shuang looked at him and winked secretly, then said, "Wei Qinglang, I'm telling you the truth today. I'll wait ten or eight years before considering having a child for you. Will you take a concubine?"

"Shuang'er." Cheng Guqiu was so anxious that he wanted to cover her mouth.

Cheng Shuang held her hand and looked at Wei Qinglang, "Answer!"

Wei Qinglang looked at her with a confused look on his face and blinked. Then a smile gradually appeared on his face, and the smile reached the bottom of his eyes. "Are you serious? Are you willing to give birth to a child for me in ten or eight years?"

Cheng Shuang was speechless. She was solving the problem of being forced to give birth, what was he doing?

Why does it feel like I deserve a beating when I laugh?

After thinking for two seconds, she felt that the other party was taking advantage of her, so she pretended not to understand the expression just now.

Cheng Shuang narrowed her eyes, raised her hand, and slapped him on the back of the head. "Who wants to give birth to your child? You deserve a beating, don't you?"
