Black Market Boss: His Beloved Wife's Lazy Life

"It won't move!" Gao Jianguo said regretfully.

"It's still early. The baby will start to move in two months. It won't start moving until later in the pregnancy." Shang Yanfang slowly recited what she had learned in junior high school in her previous life.

"Oh, so what should we be careful about now?" Gao Jianguo asked with great concern.

"We need to be careful not to slip or fall," Shang Yanfang recalled what she had seen on Douyin.

"Then we need to be careful lately, it's going to rain these next few days," Gao Jianguo said with some concern.

"Then let's not go out for a while, that way we won't have to worry. Go to sleep," Shang Yanfang said, looking at Gao Jianguo who was very worried.

Gao Jianguo blew out the kerosene lamp, held the little girl, and fell asleep.

When Shang Yanfang woke up the next day, she found the man touching her stomach.

"Jianguo, it itches." The strange sensation on her stomach brought Shang Yanfang back to her senses.

"Good boy, get up and eat." Gao Jianguo quickly withdrew his hand as if he had been caught doing something wrong.

"Hmm~ okay~" Shang Yanfang stretched and said.

Gao Jianguo carefully picked up the little girl and took her into the washroom to wash her up.

"Jianguo, you don't need to stay here with me. I can manage on my own." Shang Yanfang looked helplessly at Gao Jianguo, who was staring intently at her.

“It’s alright, it’s raining outside. You don’t need to work today.” Gao Jianguo didn’t want to leave the little girl.

Shang Yanfang had no choice but to speed up her handwashing.

"Let's go eat." Shang Yanfang washed her hands and went out to have breakfast with the man.

"Jianguo, how long will this rain last?"

"This rain will last for about half a month, and then winter will come," Gao Jianguo said, looking at the dark sky.

"So what are we going to do today?"

"How about we... castrate the cabbage today?" Gao Jianguo asked.

"Have the cabbages already been distributed?" Shang Yanfang hadn't been to the fields all afternoon and knew nothing about it.

"We've already cut all the cabbages before you fainted yesterday, and then we were planning to transport them back to the brigade. Then Brother He told me you fainted. I only went to the brigade headquarters this morning to collect the cabbages."

"Yanfang, you have to tell me where you're going from now on, otherwise I'll be scared." Gao Jianguo felt a wave of fear when he thought about the little girl fainting yesterday.

"Okay, I'll tell you where I go from now on." Even while eating, Shang Yanfang could sense the man's unease.

After Shang Yanfang finished eating, Gao Jianguo started pickling cabbage.

"Yanfang, Yanfang. We've come to see you." He Lingling had wanted to visit Shang Yanfang yesterday after hearing that she was pregnant, but Li Zhaodi stopped her.

"Come in, I'm home." Shang Yanfang was very happy to hear her friends' voices.

"Go on, go play with your friends for a while." Seeing that the little girl was happy, Gao Jianguo didn't let her help him anymore.

"Okay, then you can pickle it. I'm going out to play." Shang Yanfang happily ran towards her group of friends in the yard.

"Don't run, be careful of the slippery ground," Gao Jianguo said worriedly, watching Shang Yanfang's running speed.

Only after seeing the little girl safely run towards her group of friends did Gao Jianguo feel relieved and begin pickling the cabbage properly.

"Yanfang, I heard from Xiaokang that you're pregnant. Are you alright?" Liu Yan asked with concern as they sat around the table in the main room.

"It's great," Shang Yanfang said, scratching her head. She figured the whole brigade probably knew she was pregnant by now.

"Then why did you faint yesterday?"

"Yesterday was an accident. I squatted down and stood up too suddenly, and I fainted. Luckily, Sister He was there." Shang Yanfang still felt a chill when she thought about what happened yesterday.

"That's good, that's good. We're relieved that nothing serious happened. I was planning to come see you last night..." He Lingling said boldly.

"Stay here and have lunch with me today," Shang Yanfang said, looking at the group of people in front of her.

"I just thought that since it's raining, I'd like to come here and have a better meal." He Lingling's quick tongue earned her a cold look from the two people next to her.

"You've come to the right place. Xiao Kang has only been eating here for two months and he's already gained twenty pounds," Shang Yanfang said with a sly laugh.

"Sister, is this how you talk about your brother in front of outsiders?" Shang Guokang, who came in from outside, heard what Shang Yanfang said.

"Ahem, well, Xiaokang, I didn't say you were fat. It's just that being able to eat is a blessing, being able to eat is a blessing. Hehe~" Shang Yanfang said awkwardly.

"Sis, I'm still growing, it's normal for me to eat more, right? I've grown another three centimeters in two months," Shang Guokang said, quite unconvinced.

"You've grown taller, that's good. Your brother-in-law is pickling kimchi, go help him out." Shang Yanfang was trying to get her silly younger brother away as quickly as possible.

"Pickled spicy cabbage? Can we learn how to make it?" He Lingling's mouth watered just thinking about the sour and spicy taste.

"Let's go ask Gao Jianguo about this." The group rushed straight to the kitchen.

When Gao Jianguo looked up and saw Shang Yanfang, the dissatisfaction in his eyes immediately vanished.

"What's wrong? Is Yanfang hungry?" Gao Jianguo looked at the little girl with concern.

"Well, they also want to learn how to pickle cabbage."

“Sure, cabbage is easy to pickle. They’ll learn it after watching it once.” Gao Jianguo readily agreed.

The group took over Gao Jianguo's position, letting him give instructions while they operated the equipment.

Shang Yanfang moved a small stool and sat down on the side, chatting with them from time to time.

In half a day, the group of people had pickled two jars of kimchi.

At noon, the group ate a meal personally prepared by Gao Jianguo, and in the afternoon, they chatted about gossip at the educated youth settlement.

"Yanfang, do you know that a young woman from the educated youth brigade next to ours was targeted by a bachelor in the brigade, and he took her home when she wasn't looking?"

Then the woman disappeared without a trace for half a month. Everyone in the team thought she had died on the mountain, and the captain even reported it to the police. But they couldn't find her.

Just yesterday, that female educated youth, seemingly insane, escaped from that bachelor's house, covered in blood.

Li Zhaodi shared the gossip she had learned from the other older women with the group.

"So, how's that bachelor doing now?" Shang Yanfang had a very bad feeling. It's really tough being a woman in this era.

Lin Qing's friends from the previous educated youth settlement, and this time, the female educated youth from the neighboring brigade, both made her sigh deeply.
