Crossing Over to Yamada Love

"Sigh, your mother-in-law married well, but it's a pity she met your father-in-law... This man is... Sigh, actually, wealth or poverty doesn't matter, what matters is living comfortably," Qiu said with a sigh.

"Lan'er, be more respectful to your mother-in-law. She's had a hard life too," Wang Shi instructed Mo Lan.

“Yes, I will.” Mo Lan nodded.

The next day, the Mo family had a lively celebration. Mo Lan helped greet the guests in the backyard. Although it was noisy and tiring, she felt happy. So even though she was tired, she was happy.

Chen Shi had a smile on her face the whole time. Everyone praised her for being lucky, and she also felt that she was lucky. Although Erlang had been married once before, he was the one she had chosen and he was devoted to her. So it didn't matter that he had been married once before.

Moreover, after they got married, he had always been very good to her, and everyone in the Mo family was also good to her. Judging from the Mo family's intentions, her uncle was a teacher at the academy, so she could take care of him and be able to support him in his old age and fulfill her filial duty. She was very touched.

With her pregnancy and her son's success in the imperial examinations, everything was going smoothly for her. She didn't aspire to be an official's wife; she was content with her current situation. Therefore, Chen Shi always wore a smile, no matter who she was facing.

After the busy event, life returned to normal, and Mo Lan continued as before. She went up the mountain when she needed to, and studied cooking when she needed to, keeping up with everything.

As October arrived and the weather turned cooler, Mo Lan felt weary again. She felt unwilling to move.

She curled up in bed. She had planned to go back to the Mo family in the afternoon, but she just lay there and didn't want to move. It had been almost two months since her period started. Her period wasn't very regular, and even with treatment, it wasn't very normal. Could it be delayed again?

"Girl, aren't you going back?" Xue Lingfeng asked as he entered the room after finishing his business and saw that Mo Lan was still lying in bed.

"Let's go back tomorrow. I'm too lazy to get up. I don't want to move." Mo Lan wrapped herself in the blanket and moved closer to Xue Lingfeng.

"Lazy girl, do you want me to stay with you?" Xue Lingfeng pinched Mo Lan's nose and put an arm around her.

"Okay, I'll take a nap. You can wake me up for dinner later." Mo Lan rested her head on Xue Lingfeng's arm and closed her eyes comfortably.

“Girl, are you going to sleep like this? Can you really sleep? Or should we…” Xue Lingfeng’s voice grew softer and softer.

Mo Lan ignored him; she didn't want to move, so she didn't respond to Xue Lingfeng.

Seeing Mo Lan so listless, Xue Lingfeng was worried, fearing she was ill, so he called a maid to fetch a doctor.

The physician was a retired imperial physician whom Xue Lingfeng had invited last time. He had been treating Mo Lan's health recently. Xue Lingfeng did not intend to let him leave until he was fully recovered.

The old doctor took Xue Lingfeng's pulse, his eyes filled with surprise. He then took the other pulse, and after taking both, he congratulated him.

Xue Lingfeng was taken aback at first, then realized what was happening and asked anxiously, "Old sir, could it be that Lan'er is pregnant?"

"Yes, Young Master Xue, Grandma is pregnant, about two months along. It's normal for her to feel tired. I'm afraid she might also experience drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, and an intolerance to cooking fumes in a few days. These are all normal and will pass as the pregnancy progresses," the old doctor said, explaining the common symptoms of pregnancy.

"I'm pregnant?" Mo Lan sat up in disbelief. She was actually pregnant? She really hadn't expected that there was already a little life inside her.

"Lan'er, you're pregnant! You're going to be a mother, and I'm going to be a father!" Xue Lingfeng was overjoyed.

"I'm going to be a mother, I'm going to be a mother," Mo Lan murmured to herself, as if she were in a daze.

After the doctor finished explaining the precautions, Xue Lingfeng hurriedly sent a maid to inform Madam Xue and the Mo family. This was a great joy, and he had to let them know as soon as possible.

Xue Lingfeng gently embraced Mo Lan, his hand resting on her belly. Inside was a little life, his child. He was deeply moved, and for some reason, his eyes stung, as if he had an urge to cry.

Before the two could exchange more than a few words, Madam Xue rushed in.

She had heard from the maid that Mo Lan was pregnant, and she couldn't believe it, fearing she had misheard. Wasn't it said that her daughter-in-law couldn't have children and that it was very difficult for her to conceive? Wasn't it said that it took extreme luck to get pregnant? How could her daughter-in-law be pregnant now? Could there be a mistake?

"Feng'er, Lan'er, is it true?" Madam Xue asked abruptly.

"Mother, it's true, I'm pregnant, I'm going to be a mother, and you'll be my wet nurse." Mo Lan was also very happy, with a gentle smile on her face.

"I'm going to be a grandmother! I'm going to be a grandmother! This is wonderful! This is wonderful! Lan'er, thank you, Mother. You've worked so hard." After saying this, Madam Xue took Mo Lan's hand and tears fell down her face. She was so happy and excited.

Mo Lan reached out and hugged her mother-in-law. Seeing how happy she was, she knew how disappointed her mother-in-law must have been when she was told she couldn't have children. But her mother-in-law had always stood by her side and supported her without putting any pressure on her. She was so lucky to have such a good family.

The two hugged for a while. Madam Xue wiped away her tears and then began to instruct Mo Lan, telling her some taboos. She also told Xue Lingfeng not to share a bed with Mo Lan, for fear that he might accidentally crush her at night.

Mo Lan blushed. It wasn't a big deal, was it? Besides, she wasn't used to Xue Lingfeng not spending the night with her, but she couldn't argue with her mother-in-law, so she could only listen.

"Lan'er, from now on you don't need to go into the kitchen. I'll take care of the meals. Don't worry about anything else. Just focus on getting better. I'll take care of everything else, understand?" Madam Xue instructed Mo Lan.

Mo Lan nodded in agreement. The first three months of pregnancy were unstable, and she didn't want to cause any trouble. She would wait until the baby was more stable before making any decisions.

By the time the Mo family arrived, Mo Lan's house was already full of people. Wang Shi, Qiu Shi, Liu Shi, and even Mo Mei all came. They were overjoyed to hear the news, especially Wang Shi and Qiu Shi, who knew about Mo Lan's illness. Now that they heard that Mo Lan was pregnant, they kept saying it was a blessing from heaven.

Everyone chattered and shared in Mo Lan's joy. After dinner, the Mo family members returned home by carriage. Before leaving, Qiu told Mo Lan to visit her parents' home less often, as they would come if needed. She told Mo Lan to wait until her pregnancy was stable before going back.

Mo Lan agreed to everything. In the evening, Xue Lingfeng wanted to go to the study but couldn't bear to leave Mo Lan. He saw that Mo Lan also couldn't bear to leave him, so he stayed. He would just be more careful while sleeping and wouldn't crush Mo Lan.

Mo Lan was held in Xue Lingfeng's arms. She felt surrounded by happiness. She had never known before that pregnancy was such a happy thing, and that it felt so good to be a mother.

And so, Mo Lan fell into a deep sleep in Xue Lingfeng's arms. Xue Lingfeng, on the other hand, barely slept a wink all night. He was excited, afraid of overpowering Mo Lan, and also had boundless energy with nowhere to release it, making it hard to sleep...

Another month passed, and Mo Lan was three months pregnant. She began to experience morning sickness, and her symptoms were particularly severe; she vomited almost everything she ate.

Fortunately, she still has a good appetite. She's not picky and eats almost anything. She eats and then throws up, then eats again. Everyone who sees this is amazed. This girl is different from others. She's lucky with food and also quite a troublemaker.

After Mo Lan stopped vomiting and returned to normal, it was the 20th of the twelfth lunar month. The New Year was just around the corner. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when Mo Lan caught a cold.

This cold caused everyone great concern. Mo Lan dared not take any medicine, and the doctor also said that he was afraid that taking medicine would harm the baby in Mo Lan's womb.

With no other option, Mo Lan had to tough it out, and began a daily routine of constantly wiping her nose.

After three days, her nose felt much better, but Mo Lan started coughing. Once she started coughing, she couldn't stop. At first, it was a light cough, but it got worse and worse until Mo Lan couldn't breathe and couldn't sleep at night.

Seeing Mo Lan like this, Xue Lingfeng and Madam Xue were heartbroken and felt that this was not a solution. They discussed with the doctor about prescribing medicine for Mo Lan. The doctor carefully prepared the medicine, and when the maidservant brewed it and brought it up, Mo Lan refused to drink it.

She was afraid that these medicines would harm her child, so she would rather suffer more than risk anything happening to her child.

"Mother, cough cough...brew me some...cough cough...radish and ginger tea. Cough cough...I heard that it...cough cough...cures coughs." Mo Lan said to Madam Xue while coughing.

Having no other choice, Madam Xue listened to Mo Lan's advice and brewed radish and ginger tea for her. Following her daughter-in-law's request, she sliced ​​the radish, added plenty of ginger, and simmered it until it was strong before serving it to Mo Lan.

Mo Lan drank a large bowl of it while it was still hot. The taste wasn't very good, but it was for treating an illness, so it didn't matter whether it was good or bad. As long as it could cure her cough and not affect the fetus, she would drink it no matter how bad it tasted.

Mo Lan drank radish and ginger tea for three days in a row and felt her cough had improved a lot. At least she was able to sleep at night. During those days, she couldn't sleep at night because of her cough. She would keep coughing as soon as she lay down, feeling like she was going to cough up her lungs. It sounded scary.

Mo Lan's cough has improved somewhat. In addition to radish and ginger tea, she also asked her mother-in-law to make ginger-cooked eggs for her.

Ginger-cooked eggs are made by finely chopping ginger, heating oil in a pan, then adding eggs and stir-frying. Eating this before bed every night can warm the stomach and treat colds.

Mo Lan ate boiled eggs with ginger for a whole week and drank radish and ginger tea for a whole week. Both of these made her feel nauseous, but they did have some effect. Her cold and cough finally got better.

Mo Lan's cold is cured, and she's no longer coughing. She took a long breath, feeling so comfortable. It feels so good to be healthy.

Mo Lan placed her hand on her belly and murmured to herself, "My little baby, Mommy is finally better. You don't have to suffer anymore. Mommy didn't take any medicine this time. You must be healthy when you come out, okay?"
