Farmers' Lucky Baby Has Space

Upon hearing that she was to be handed over to the authorities, the woman, though somewhat frightened, still stubbornly insisted, "Who knows if the document is genuine?"

Lin Silang finally mustered up his courage and said, "Wife, it was indeed my own choice to hand Nianqiu over to Yaomei. Please stop making a fuss." The woman glared at him and was about to lash out when Nianqiu ran out of the house, hid behind Lin Chu, and peeked out, saying, "Bad woman, don't bully my mother."

The woman was even more jealous when she saw how beautiful Nianqiu was, and she reached out to grab Nianqiu.

Lin Chu swiftly blocked her hand and kicked her far away, coldly saying, "If you dare to lay a finger on Nian Qiu, I will not let you off easily."

At this time, the village elders also came after hearing the noise. After understanding what had happened, they all criticized the woman for being ignorant.

Although the woman sensed the situation was not good, she was still somewhat unwilling and said, "Sister-in-law, I know you can't have children. Since my husband has already agreed to give you the child, then so be it. But... even if you go to town to buy a child, it will cost ten taels of silver. Besides, this is my own brother's child. You should at least give him twenty or thirty taels as a settlement fee, right?"

Lin Chu laughed in anger upon hearing this, "What you're saying is utterly ridiculous. Nianqiu is of the Lin family bloodline, so how can it be a business transaction? Are you trying to make things up by being so unreasonable? Do you think our Lin family has no one left?"

The onlookers chimed in, "Yes, that woman really went too far."

Seeing that no one was on her side, Lin Silang's wife was both angry and anxious, but she still wouldn't give up. "Sister-in-law, you can't say that. This child is my husband's flesh and blood. Even if I didn't give birth to him, I can't just give him to you for nothing, can I?"

Hearing their endless argument, Lin Silang became angry and couldn't help but scold them, "Enough! It was my mother and I who decided to give Nianqiu to Yaomei. You are a newlywed, and even if we consider seniority, you are only a stepmother. It's none of your business!"

Seeing this, Lin Silang simply turned and left, leaving his new wife there throwing a tantrum.

I thought Lin Chu would care about saving face, since so many people were watching, she would have to give them some money to appease them.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chu simply picked up Nianqiu and exclaimed, "Baby, look at that person, isn't it ugly to be throwing a tantrum on the ground?"

Nianqiu said in a childish voice, "Ugly~"

"Will Nianqiu study this in the future?" Lin Chu asked again.

Xiao Nianqiu shook her head, making the bells tied to her two pigtails ring out, and said, "I won't learn from her, she's bad! And she stinks." After saying that, the little girl pinched the tip of her nose, as if she really smelled the stench.

Lin Chu was amused by her childlike words, but the woman on the ground looked disgusted. Seeing that everyone around her was pointing and whispering about her, she got up and fled in panic.

Lin Chu breathed a sigh of relief. Nianqiu hugged her neck and said sweetly, "Mother, don't be afraid." Lin Chu smiled and kissed Nianqiu's forehead, thinking that she must protect Nianqiu no matter what.

Lin Chu shook his head, turned to look at Nianqiu and said, "Bao'er, let's not worry about these troubles and continue eating grapes." Nianqiu nodded happily, and Lin Chu hugged Nianqiu and sat back down under the grape trellis. Although he said so much, Lin Chu still heard what the woman said: being unable to have children was like a heartache for her.

But the next day, she didn't have much time to think about these things because—Wu Di arrived.

They claimed to be coming to Liushui Town to check the accounts, but as soon as they arrived, they went straight to Lin Chu's house, making Lin Chu wonder if their reasons were really that convincing.

Lin Chu held Nianqiu in her arms and sat in the courtyard, watching Wu Di look around like a curious child. "Aren't you tired? You've traveled for so long. Come and sit down and rest."

Because there were children present, Lin Chu didn't directly tell him he was sick, but instead offered gentle advice.

But Wu Di could still hear the disdain in her tone. He turned around, squinted at her, and finally sat down opposite her: "You two, you're supposed to be a prince and princess, living in this small village. Is this some kind of 'experience of rural life'?"

Lin Chu rolled her eyes at him. "What exactly are you doing here? Don't tell me it's just to check the accounts." Wu Di chuckled and pulled a letter from his pocket, handing it to Lin Chu. "Grandpa asked me to give this to you."

Lin Chu took the letter, unfolded it, and a joyful smile appeared on her face. It turned out that Old Master Wu had been concerned about her infertility. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he went to the palace to find a way to cure her. Now that he had made progress, he wrote to tell her to wait for good news.

Just then, Nianqiu reached out and grabbed the letter, making little noises as if she also wanted to see the message.

Lin Chu placed Nianqiu on his lap and softly read the contents of the letter to her.

After reading the letter, Lin Chu looked up at Wu Di and said, "Since Grandpa went out to find herbs, why didn't you go with him? He's so old, it's too dangerous for him to go alone."

Wu Di waved his hand at him and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Wu is with you, and there are guards with you too. The old man will be safe. Besides, I heard you found me a niece, so I wanted to come and see her."

After saying that, he grinned and opened his arms to Nianqiu, saying, "Come here, niece, let your uncle give you a hug~"

Xiao Nianqiu ignored him and continued to eagerly grab the letter from Lin Chu's hand.

Lin Chu watched quietly, offering no help to Wu Di.

Wu Di touched his nose, then suddenly pulled a red envelope from his pocket and waved it in front of Nian Qiu: "Niece, look what your uncle has in his hand?"

Sure enough, Nianqiu's eyes lit up, like a puppy smelling a bone, and she was immediately attracted.

Lin Chu let her climb off his lap, then ran up to Wu Di with a smile but said nothing.

The little girl, with remarkable quickness, called out, "Uncle..."

Then she stretched out her small hand and said, "Bao..." indicating that Wu Di should give her the red envelope in his hand.

Upon seeing this, Wu Di burst into laughter, making Lin Chu's face turn black.

"As I suspected, she not only looks like you, but she's also just as greedy as you."

Nianqiu, not understanding her meaning, still stretched out her hand, "Bag..."

Seeing that Wu Di ignored her and was still smiling like a fool, the girl snorted, frowned, and was about to turn around and go back.

"Hey, hey, why are you still angry?" Wu Di quickly pulled him back and coaxed, "How about I give you this red envelope if you let your uncle hug you?"

Although Nianqiu is only two years old, she is smart. Although she can't say many words well, she knows what they mean.

She crossed one arm over her chest, rested her chin on the other, thought for a moment, then opened her arms and gestured to Wu Di, "Hug~"

Wu Di grew up with Lin Chu, so he could naturally tell that the child looked a lot like Lin Chu when she was little. Holding the soft and cuddly little girl in his arms, he thought with deep emotion, "She does look a bit like you, but she's much more well-behaved than you."
