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

When Lu Chuan returned, it was already completely dark. The man, covered in sweat, casually placed the wild boar from his basket in the yard and then went inside to see Meng Tong.

"Madam, I'm back."

"Why are you so late? Are you alright?"

Putting down what she was fiddling with, Meng Tong looked up at the man beside her.

His black robe was fairly clean, with no tears or wounds. Meng Tong breathed a sigh of relief and then got up, saying, "There's some pork rib soup I've been making in the kitchen, along with some roasted sweet potatoes and roasted potatoes. Why don't you go and have some?"

"Hmm." A smile appeared on the man's rugged, handsome face. He then picked up a cotton ball and asked, "What are you doing, my wife?"

"Go eat first, I'll tell you later, I might need your help!"

Meng Tong nudged Lu Chuan from behind and said with a smile.

"Alright, I'll go to the kitchen to eat first. Oh, by the way, we hunted quite a lot of wild animals today. There's a wild boar in the yard. I'll make braised pork for my wife tomorrow."

"okay."

The woman nodded and continued working on what she was doing. Lu Chuan glanced at her and then left the room, closing the door tightly before heading to the kitchen.

The bubbling pork rib soup was simmering on the stove over a low flame, its rich aroma filling the entire house and whetting Lu Chuan's appetite.

The man pulled over a stool and sat down, then took the pork rib soup from the stove and a few roasted sweet potatoes that were still hot.

With the sweet and sticky roasted sweet potatoes and roasted potatoes, the man finished off the remaining ribs and soup.

He is really hungry.

After cleaning the kitchen, Lu Chuan boiled a pot of water and then went to the bathroom to take a hot shower.

My wife said I should take care of my health.

After everything was finished, it was quite late. After Meng Tong put the wild boar and other wild animals in the yard into his spatial storage, the two of them went back to the house together.

Neither of them felt sleepy, so the two sat at the table and chatted. Lu Chuan's eyes were fixed on the things Meng Tong had made on the table.

"Wife, what... is this for?"

Looking at the long strip of cloth stuffed with cotton in his hand from side to side, Lu Chuan asked in confusion.

"Uh... that's a menstrual belt I made."

"Month, menstrual belt?"

The man was surprised, and his face instantly flushed an unnatural red, something he had never seen before.

"Hmm, do you think it's bad luck?" Meng Tong looked at him with a serious expression.

It was as if if he said yes, she would not hesitate to snatch it away with whatever she was holding.

Fortunately, Lu Chuan was perceptive, and besides, he didn't have such thoughts.

The man shook his head and said gently, "I've never seen these things before, my wife, don't be angry. How about I make them for you?"

With just a quick glance, Lu Chuan had already grasped the essentials.

He had heard some ignorant people in the village talk about menstruation before, saying that a woman can only give birth if she bleeds from her vagina.

Lu Chuan was completely bewildered at the time, and others mocked him for it, saying that he would never experience what it felt like.

Looking at the thing Meng Tong had stuffed full of cotton, Lu Chuan knew it was used to absorb that thing.

"Actually, it's not just me who uses it; He'er and Yan'er will also need to use it when they reach a certain age."

"Ok, I know."

Lu Chuan lowered his eyes, picked up the cotton and examined it carefully, without a trace of disgust on his face.

"I'm going to give birth soon, and I might need this then."

"Then I'll get right to it." Lu Chuan looked up at Meng Tong and asked, "Is there anything else you need?"

"I'm sorry, my wife, I know too little."

"It's okay to know little; the important thing is to have the desire to learn. Once the baby is born, you'll also have to take responsibility."

"Well, I will."

The man nodded seriously.

He used to be foolish, and his wife relied mainly on herself when she was pregnant and giving birth. To be honest, the Lu family didn't help much.

A flicker of guilt crossed Lu Chuan's dark eyes, which then turned into determination.

He will definitely become a qualified father and husband in the future.

……

The weather grew colder day by day, and in just half a month, a heavy snow fell.

Early in the morning, Lu Chuan got up and put on thick winter clothes, then covered Meng Tong with a warm quilt.

The woman was huddled under the covers with only her head showing. Because she wasn't sleeping well in late pregnancy, she woke up as soon as Lu Chuan moved.

Squinting at the blinding light through the window, Meng Tong asked Lu Chuan in a hoarse voice, "Is it snowing?"

"Yes, it set off in the middle of the night yesterday. My wife, why don't you get back to sleep a little longer? I'll go out and take a look."

“…Okay.” After blinking twice, Meng Tong asked again, “He’er and Yan’er aren’t cold, are they?”

"It's okay. I had them sleep in the same room last night, and I gave them an extra blanket."

"That's good."

Meng Tong lay down comfortably, then closed her eyes and continued to sleep, actually talking to the little one inside her.

Have you figured it out yet?

"Mommy, is it cold outside? Baby feels warm inside Mommy's tummy, maybe we can wait until winter to come out!"

Meng Tong remained silent.

Was she pregnant with Nezha?

Despite the cold rejection, Meng Tong continued, "You're fully developed now. We'll take good care of you when you come out; you won't be cold."

"Really?"

A skeptical young boy's voice rang out, clearly indicating that he had matured considerably.

Meng Tong hummed in agreement and continued, "Don't you want to come out and see the snow? It's quite beautiful."

"Then I'll come out now."

Before Meng Tong could stop him, she felt a pain in her abdomen, and then the boyish voice in her mind rang out, "Mother, quickly call Father to come and greet me."

"I won't let my mother suffer!"

"It wasn't me... Could you wait a minute while I get up for a bit so I don't get my bed dirty?"

Baby:……

Despite the pain in her abdomen, Meng Tong could manage it; it was similar to when she had her period before.

Wearing only thin clothes, Meng Tong sat on the ground and quickly took out a pre-prepared mattress from a bamboo basket to place under herself. Then she slowly took off her pants and finally shouted towards the outside, "Lu Chuan, I'm going into labor."

"Oh! Is she going into labor?"

Outside, Lu Chuan, who was shoveling snow, suddenly jerked his hand and ran back inside without looking back.

The two sisters next door, who had just gotten up, followed along.

"Miss."

Upon entering the room, one could see Meng Tong lying on the ground. The woman was covered with a quilt, and another quilt was placed under her.

Lu Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, then rushed over, squatted down, and pulled Meng Tong's head into his arms. The man asked worriedly, "How are you?"

"I'm fine. Just bring the things you prepared earlier, and you can cut the umbilical cord in a bit."

"……it is good."

His hands were trembling. Lu Chuan had just stood up when the Lu sisters, Lu He and Lu Yan, rushed in, not forgetting to close the door behind them.

"Mother, is my little brother coming out yet?"

"Ah."

A thin layer of sweat appeared on Meng Tong's forehead. She glanced at Lu Chuan as he approached and thought to herself, "Come out!"

"Okay! Let my dad catch me."

Meng Tong: ……
