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

As the first village encountered upon entering Wuyou Valley, Meng Tong naturally needed to come and see for himself the situation in Pingkou Village.

We traveled by horse-drawn carriage from the town for over an hour to reach Pingkou Village.

The first thing that catches the eye is a series of small courtyards, which are very concentrated and located at the foot of the mountain on the left. The rest of the land is planted with grains and cotton.

Because of Meng Tong's supernatural abilities, cotton not only adapts to colder weather, but also has a shorter maturation cycle.

Today is the day when the people living in Pingkou Village come out together to pick cotton.

Everyone saw Lu Chuan and Meng Tong arrive, and some of the more energetic boys even ran to the courtyard to call Sheng Zhuzhu and Cheng Mian.

"Sister Zhuzhu, Madam and the others have arrived."

"Your sister-in-law is here?"

Originally lying in bed looking sickly, Sheng Zhuzhu suddenly got up excitedly.

Cheng Mian, standing to the side, widened his eyes in fright and quickly steadied the woman's shoulders before saying with a hint of helplessness, "Be careful, or you'll throw up again."

"I'm so happy! Hurry up and put on my shoes, I'm going out to pick up my fourth brother and his wife."

"Okay, okay, don't get too excited, or you'll upset the baby."

Cheng Mian was afraid that something might happen to this young lady, so he quickly squatted down to help her put on her shoes, and then helped her stand up by supporting her arm.

Sheng Zhuzhu is a restless person and also careless. Yesterday, she fell while picking cotton outside.

She almost lost her baby, which was more than two months pregnant, and that's why Cheng Mian wouldn't let her go to his place today.

But she had only been lying down for a short while when she hurriedly got up.

"Zhuzhu, be careful."

"I know, I'm not afraid, so why are you afraid?"

Supporting her slightly trembling hand, Sheng Zhuzhu strode towards the outside. Just as she finished speaking, Lu Chuan and Meng Tong also walked towards them.

"What's going on?"

Looking at Sheng Zhuzhu's slightly pale face, Meng Tong subconsciously frowned and spoke.

Lu Chuan also cast a questioning look at Cheng Mian.

"It's nothing, I just tripped and fell yesterday."

"Sister-in-law, what brings you here? Come in quickly." Sheng Zhuzhu said nonchalantly, reaching out to help them with their things.

Cheng Mian spoke up before she could, explaining, "Zhuzhu is more than two months pregnant. We didn't know she had fallen yesterday and showed signs of a mild miscarriage."

"You guys are really being ridiculous."

Meng Tong glared at Sheng Zhuzhu, then quickly took the bag of beef jerky she had brought, and said with exasperation, "Why don't you go back inside and lie down?"

"This is no joke." Lu Chuan's expression also turned somewhat grim as he glanced at Cheng Mian.

The man quickly nodded, bent down, and carried the person into the house.

Sheng Zhuzhu felt a little embarrassed. She said it was nothing, but she also quite liked the feeling of being cared for.

Sitting on the bed, Cheng Mian pulled the blanket over her and covered her with it, then went to fetch water for the two of them.

"Let me see your hand."

"I didn't... Oh!"

Sheng Zhuzhu dared not challenge the authority of her younger siblings and obediently stretched out her hand.

Meng Tong used his special ability to examine her, and indeed, the pregnancy was somewhat unstable.

"Third sister is an adult now, she needs to be careful about these things."

"okay, I get it."

As she spoke, the woman channeled some of her supernatural abilities into him, while Lu Chuan watched with a stern face.

Although he hadn't known his older sister for very long, Lu Chuan still knew her personality.

He's such a scatterbrain.

After giving her several instructions, Sheng Zhuzhu finally calmed down and drank the tea that Cheng Mian brought her.

Only then did the two remember to ask Lu Chuan about the purpose of their visit.

"I just came to visit you all and brought you some good food."

"I bought this beef jerky in the North, and Brother Chuan slaughtered a sheep a few days ago and brought it over for you to try."

“I also bought all the poultry that you asked us to raise before. Liu Xiong and the others will deliver them to you in a few days. Please ask the villagers to build houses in advance and take measures to keep them warm.”

As Meng Tong made arrangements, Cheng Mian took notes, while Sheng Zhuzhu was busy eating.

She started vomiting last night after finding out she was pregnant yesterday, and she doesn't know if it was psychological.

Her originally rosy face turned deathly pale.

But when Meng Tong took out the beef jerky, she found herself wanting more and more to eat it. It was also a little spicy, which she really liked.

The three of them tacitly ignored her actions. After saying all that, Meng Tong also mentioned that Zhou Yan was coming.

And she plans to choose Pingkou Village as the location for his treatment.

Firstly, she doesn't like outsiders prying into her life too much, and secondly, she wants to keep some of her cards close to her chest.

"Did they say when he would arrive?"

"It's almost the end of December, or even longer, and the situation outside is quite chaotic right now."

"You can just send a few people to build a small courtyard and wait there. When he arrives, he will send me a message by carrier pigeon."

"it is good."

Nodding, Cheng Mian seemed to understand, and then quickly made a plan in his mind.

He was a man of both literary and martial talents.

Judging from the current situation in Pingkou Village, it is clear that he is managing it very well.

He told Cheng Mian everything that needed to be said, then asked him to stay in the room with Sheng Zhuzhu to rest, while Lu Chuan took Meng Tong out for a stroll.

The weather wasn't great today; it was even a bit chilly, but thankfully it didn't rain.

The villagers were all picking cotton on a hillside above the rice paddies, and they all greeted the two of them with smiles as they came up.

Among them were Sheng Zhuzhu's mother-in-law and father-in-law, with whom Meng Tong and Lu Chuan also chatted for a long time.

By evening, all the cotton in Pingkou Village had been picked and sent to a warehouse behind the house.

There were more than twenty women inside sewing mattresses and cotton-padded clothes, while men were handling other tasks.

Everything was in perfect order, and everyone had a smile on their face like never before.

This scene made Meng Tong feel that taking them in was the most natural choice she could make.

After circling around Pingkou Village, the two returned to Sheng Zhuzhu's house.

I'll stay here for dinner tonight.

Lu Chuan and Cheng Mian were in the kitchen. Tonight's meal consisted of mutton noodle soup with a bowl of chewy noodles. Because Sheng Zhuzhu is pregnant, the meal was rather light.

After finishing their meal, it was already dark. After reminding Sheng Zhuzhu to be careful of her stomach, Lu Chuan and Meng Tong put away the carriage and took the "Green Carpet" back to Duanshan Village.

In the following days, Meng Tong and Lu Chuan visited several other villages, partly to check on the progress and partly to deliver some food to Sheng Yu and the others.

Time flies, and by mid-to-late November, snow had fallen in Wuyou Valley. Fortunately, everyone was dressed in thick, warm cotton-padded clothes, and they were covered with thick mattresses at night.

Zhenzhen and Shanwai formed a stark contrast.
