A farmer has a shrewish wife; he's busy making money every day.

Ye Qingxue thought that Lu Meng was eager to have a grandson, so he would definitely not let anyone into the inner room to disturb him.

But what if she's pregnant?

She needed someone to take care of her, so it was only natural for her parents to move in!

But not now. It would be too unbelievable to have symptoms just one day after "getting pregnant."

Just prepare before the start of winter.

Having made up her mind, Ye Qingxue was somewhat excited.

"Little Xue, let Doctor Li take a look at you."

Lu Meng asked Ye Qingxue to sit on the bed, and then Physician Li came forward.

First, I took his pulse, then I checked for injuries on his body.

Ye Qingxue was also grazed and injured during her fierce fight with the white tiger.

His body was covered in blood from the white tiger's rubbing, making the injury appear much more serious.

Ye Qingxue wasn't afraid that Doctor Li would expose that she wasn't seriously injured. How skilled could a doctor who had the nerve to sell a quick-pregnancy soup be?

It's just about looking at what's visible on the surface and taking a common pulse diagnosis.

After Doctor Li finished examining her, Lu Meng hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is she? Is my daughter-in-law seriously injured? Is she alright...?"

Lu Meng lowered his voice and asked, "You didn't hurt your stomach, did you?"

Doctor Li shook his head: "He just got a scrape on his body, the wound is bleeding a lot, and he's a bit weak."

Lu Meng hurriedly asked, "Then wouldn't we have to give her even more nutrition?"

Doctor Li saw through his thoughts and chuckled, "If the village chief only needs one child, then the quick-pregnancy soup is enough. No matter how weak she is, as long as she has had intercourse, she will have a child. It's just that the woman in labor is in some danger."

Lu Meng waved his hand and sighed, "Let's not talk about that for now. As long as my precious grandson can be born, that's all that matters."

He then fell silent again, thinking of Ye Qingxue's injury and the two sweet potatoes she had brought back that day: "Never mind, new mothers don't need nutrition, but my grandson does, so we still need to be careful. You can prescribe two inexpensive prescriptions to apply to her wounds."

Doctor Li hurriedly replied, "Alright."

Lu Meng then ordered Li You, "Go and bring Xue Yatou back quickly. Wash and cook the millet, and roast the sweet potatoes too!"

Li You complained, "Husband, this grain we just received is going to be cooked and eaten in the blink of an eye?"

"Stop talking nonsense and get going!"

Ye Qingxue, sitting on the bed with her eyes closed, pretending to be asleep: ...

Did they even consider that she brought this back?

And Lu Meng, he's so heartless! So she's just a tool for production, huh?

Ye Qingxue slightly opened her eyes, looked at her parents who were still unconscious on the bed, and touched their hair.

Mom and Dad, I will definitely work hard to earn money and take you away. I can't stay in this heartless in-laws' house for another second!

A wisp of cold wind blew in through the crack in the door, making Ye Qingxue shiver.

She looked at her parents, who were still shivering in their unconscious state, and her younger brother Hao'er, whose nose was red. She wanted to take out the cotton-padded coat and put it on them, but she couldn't explain it to Lu Meng and his wife.

She bought only new clothes lined with high-quality cotton, while the few cotton-padded clothes that the villagers owned were mostly worn for over ten years, blackened and tattered, with cotton wadding falling out of the holes.

There's no way to explain where her new clothes came from, and they could easily attract unwanted attention and be stolen.

It's exhausting to have outsiders stealing from you and to constantly keep an eye on your family.

She understood the principle that one should not flaunt one's wealth.

Ye Qingxue could only tuck the blankets around her parents, tighten her younger brother's clothes, and then take out the last bowl of spiritual spring water from her spatial storage and give it to her younger brother to drink.

Ye Hao'er is easily satisfied, and her eyes lit up with a smile in the blink of an eye: "Delicious, watery, and sweet."

Ye Qingxue smiled, caught by his smile: "Are you warmer now?"

Ye Hao'er's cheeks also became much rosier: "Warm!"

While playing around with Ye Hao'er, lunch was ready.

There wasn't a single drop of sweet potato and millet porridge left.

But it smells quite sweet.

Ye Qingxue took the first spoon and filled a bowl for both Hao'er and herself, making sure it was full, and she also scooped up most of the sweet potato.

"Daughter-in-law! Do you have any manners? Who taught you to start eating before your elders have even touched their food? And you don't even know how to show respect to your elders. You scooped up so many sweet potatoes for yourself. What are your father-in-law and I supposed to eat?"

Li You seized the opportunity to start criticizing her, but she only became bolder because she saw that Lu Meng's expression was not very good either.

Ye Qingxue didn't look at her, only saying lightly, "Ah, but this is what I brought back."

Li You was even more dissatisfied, slamming his fist on the table and starting to wail again: "Oh dear, look at this daughter-in-law, she's really heartless! She's already married into the family and she still wants to divide things between us. We've given your whole family a place to live, and you still want to keep such a clear account of things with us."

Ye Qingxue felt Ye Hao'er in her arms flinch when Li You called out to him, and she frowned.

You can't reason with this woman!

Ye Qingxue's face fell immediately, and she put her hand to her stomach: "I'm sorry, Mother-in-law, I'm just a little too hungry..."

Lu Meng's stomach acted as a trigger, and he immediately grabbed Li You: "Alright, alright, put a bowl in for Xiao Ci, stop making a fuss."

Seeing that her husband was siding with outsiders again, Li You was furious: "All he does is order me around all day. He even made me carry Xiao Ci to the outhouse. I don't know what a grown man is for."

Li You spoke softly, but Lu Meng still heard her. He slammed his hand on the table and said, "I had no idea you had so many complaints! It's only natural for a woman to cook and take care of her son. I haven't even said anything about me going up the mountain to find food every day!"

Seeing that the meal was about to be disrupted, Ye Qingxue quickly served a bowl of porridge. Ye Hao'er took one bowl, and she took two bowls for herself, holding Ye Hao'er in her arms.

"In-laws, please stop arguing, I'll take it inside."

Ye Qingxue hurriedly ran into the inner room, closed the door, shutting out the noise, and breathed a sigh of relief.

At least I got some peace and quiet.

She put down the two bowls of porridge she was holding, picked up Ye Hao'er and the porridge in his hands, and carried them to the bedside, handing them to him.

Lu Chuci sat on the bed. A figure flashed by in the shadows. He glanced at it discreetly, then looked away and turned his gaze to Ye Qingxue.

Her body was covered in blood, which made her skin appear even whiter, and the red stains at the corners of her eyes made her look even more alluring.

He already knew everything that had happened outside. A strange look flashed in his eyes as he looked at Ye Qingxue.

Where did she come from? Women who grow up in remote villages don't have such skills, such...acting abilities.

"Brother, have some porridge." Ye Hao'er said in a clear voice, handing the porridge in her hand to Lu Chuci, interrupting his gaze.

Lu Chuci lowered her eyes, concealing the inquiry in them, and took the porridge: "Thank you."

Ye Qingxue carried Ye Hao'er to the table for dinner.

He pinched Ye Hao'er's thin, almost chubby face, then touched his own gaunt figure and sighed.

How miserable!

She quietly took out some sugar from her storage space, let it flow through her fingers, and sprinkled it into the millet porridge.

He stirred it with a wooden spoon for a while, scooped out a spoonful, blew on it a few times, and put it into Ye Hao'er's mouth.

Ye Hao'er tilted his head and smacked his lips, his little eyes suddenly lighting up.

Porridge, it's sweet!
