Wow, this rough-around-the-edges pregnant wife is something else, she's incredibly ruthless!

The bright sunlight shone on the shimmering water, like a shy maiden with a thin veil covering her face, creating a hazy and enchanting scene.

But a rocking little boat shattered this beautiful moment.

Wei Lian, who had been running all night, stood on the deck, his clothes disheveled, his red eyes filled with boundless rage.

I had expected to see a large ship stationary, but there was nothing in sight.

Wei Lian was deeply moved.

"Gulu."

His stomach rumbled, and Wei Lian couldn't help but think of the delicious food he had eaten the night before. The man subconsciously licked his chapped lips and, forgetting all about being sentimental, returned to his cabin.

As if he were a starving ghost reincarnated, Wei Lian had lost all the composure and elegance he should have had before.

He eats indiscriminately as if his body were a huge bottomless pit, stuffing everything into his mouth, whether raw or cooked.

Wei Lian assumed he was just hungry, but by the time he realized the problem, it was too late.

After drifting on the river for more than ten days, the disheveled Wei Liancai finally returned to the fishing village.

Meng Tong didn't know how things would develop afterward, but she raised her standards for herself even higher.

……

Duanshan Village.

Before we knew it, it was early May. The lush greenery covering the mountains and fields made the entire Laoshan Town look especially beautiful.

The villagers have already planted the next batch of seeds, and these past few days they've been having Lu Huai help them husk and grind the seeds into powder in the yard.

Eight or nine months old, Lu Huai was already crawling on the ground. He sat next to Meng Tong every day, and the little guy's sturdy back would always make Sheng Bing steal a couple of kisses from him.

Today is no different. It's been almost a month since Sheng Bing came to Duanshan Village, and he has completely forgotten about Dawn Island.

Every day, she enjoys the delicious food made by Lu Chuan, and in her spare time, she would stroll around the village with Lu Huai in her arms.

Since he arrived, the little guy hasn't spent an hour with Lu Chuan and Meng Tong.

"Fourth Grandfather, He'er still doesn't quite understand what this means?"

Pointing to a passage in a book, Lu He approached Sheng Bing with an expression of admiration.

It turned out that after learning that Lu He was very interested in pharmacology, Sheng Bing gave the little girl several books.

It detailed the combinations and effects of many medicinal herbs, and Lu He was engrossed in reading it every day, asking Sheng Bing questions whenever she didn't understand something.

After a while, the little girl became a big fan of him.

With Lu Huai sitting on his left lap, Sheng Bing smiled and took the book, then reached out and gently rubbed the little girl's fluffy head, saying softly, "Come on, let Fourth Grandpa take a look!"

"Ah."

Two heads, one big and one small, huddled together, and Sheng Bing's slightly deep and hoarse voice rang out from the stone bench in the courtyard.

This is what Meng Tong saw when she went out after waking up.

"woke up."

"Hmm." Turning her head to look at the man who came out of the kitchen, Meng Tong smiled and said, "I've had Huai'er take care of all the food in the artifact, and the crops in the fields have been planted too. Shall we go out for a walk?"

"Well, listen to my wife."

Without hesitation, Lu Chuan took the woman's right hand and walked towards the kitchen door.

"Now that the disaster has subsided, and considering the large amount of food in my storage space, I'd like to sell it at a reasonable price."

"It can also help those ordinary people, can't it?"

“Indeed, my wife is very thoughtful.” After pouring the hot water, Lu Chuan said with a smile, “Then let’s go out and take a look in a few days. It would be best if we could sell it then, but it’s okay if we can’t.”

"Just don't feel pressured."

"No, I can't."

The two spoke to each other in a friendly and pleasant manner, and Meng Tong liked this feeling very much.

After washing up and changing their clothes, the family went to the living room to have breakfast.

Compared to being in the valley, having one more person now makes it more lively.

"I heard you say you want to go out and have a look around," Sheng Bing asked casually at the dinner table.

She continued to feed Lu Huai thin porridge spoonful by spoonful.

The little one has been weaned and is now eating complementary foods.

Hearing Sheng Bing speak, Meng Tong replied, "Yes, I'm not busy now, so I'll go out and take a look. I'll have to trouble Fourth Uncle to look after the children later."

The woman's voice was neither humble nor arrogant, and even carried a hint of laughter, which Sheng Bing found pleasant.

He chuckled and patted Lu Huai's head, replying, "You're too kind. I'm more than happy that the children like me."

"Since we're going out, we should make arrangements and plans in advance, so that things don't go wrong..."

"what happened?"

Looking at Sheng Bing, who had suddenly stopped, Lu Chuan raised his eyes and glanced over, while Meng Tong also spoke up to ask a question.

Actually, I could roughly guess from his expression. Sure enough, Sheng Bing hesitated for a second before speaking up, "I contacted Dawn Island a few days ago and told them about your situation. They might come over in another five or six days."

“I know you have your own thoughts, but blood is thicker than water, and no matter what, we are all family. I hope…”

"When exactly?"

With just a casual remark, Meng Tong, Sheng Bing, and the others all turned to look at the man who was calmly eating.

Lu He and Lu Yan already know that their father is not their grandparents' biological child.

I'm happy for him that he's gotten rid of that kind of person, but I also feel sorry for him.

If it weren't for their indifference and negligence, Lu Chuan wouldn't have been ridiculed for over twenty years.

The living room fell silent, with only the sound of Sheng Bing chewing on something in his arms.

The little guy is teething, and his gums are itchy, so Meng Tong made him a teething toy from pepper roots.

Every day when it's quiet, you can hear him making grunting noises, like a little mouse stealing food.

After a moment of stunned silence, Sheng Bing reacted and said with obvious excitement, "Six days from now, if you have any plans, go ahead and do them. I'll make the arrangements then."

"Okay, let's eat!"

With the same nonchalant tone, Lu Chuan casually placed a piece of braised pork with alternating layers of fat and lean meat on Meng Tong's plate.

Unlike his indifference when facing him, Lu Chuan whispered in Meng Tong's ear, "Does my wife have any plans? It's alright, you don't need to worry about that. The most important thing is to do what we need to do."

“Yes, I know. Then we’ll see when they arrive in six days. In the next few days, go to Xiangshui Village to check on the crop growth. You go to Zhujia Village to see Wu Biao and the others.”

After decisively arranging the tasks for the next few days, Meng Tong didn't ask him too much about his thoughts.

As they lay in bed that night, Meng Tong, her dark hair disheveled, nestled in the man's arms and asked, "What were you thinking during the day? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"..."

Touching the woman's soft, silky hair, a dark glint flashed in Lu Chuan's eyes. He then said in a low voice, "I don't want to put my wife in a difficult position. Besides, this isn't their fault."

If anyone is to blame, it's Old Man Lu; he's the one who's so unethical as to try and control other people's lives.

Such a person deserves to be struck by lightning, but little did anyone know that he actually died from being struck by lightning.

"It's good that you've come to your senses. Don't make things difficult for yourself." Looking up at the man's handsome features, Meng Tong smiled and said, "We'll see how they react and what the situation is. Don't force yourself. Just be yourself."

"Yes, thank you for understanding me, Madam."
