The courtyard house, without the script of Sha Zhu.

Upon realizing or thinking about this, Yi Zhonghai felt as if the blood in his body was boiling.

Why would Yi Zhonghai scheme like this?

Ultimately, isn't it just because they don't have sons and want someone to take care of them in their old age?

An obsession with children.

No one in the entire courtyard could compare to him.

So even just thinking about this moment, he couldn't help but want to pull Qin Huairu aside and ask her more questions.

Qin Huairu looked at Yi Zhonghai's burning gaze upon her.

As a pure and innocent person, she guessed the other party's thoughts almost instantly.

Isn't it just that she thinks the child in her belly is the other person's?

Without much deliberation, Qin Huairu made up her mind.

It seems I'll have to talk to Yi Zhonghai again tonight.

You must make the other party firmly believe in this idea.

There was no other way, Qin Huairu knew that only in this way could she and her child live a better life.

Otherwise, relying solely on the Jia family, her son might live a slightly better life than ordinary rural children, but within the compound, he would only be at a normal level.

This was a different story for Qin Huairu, who believed she was naturally beautiful and should enjoy a life of luxury.

Naturally, this is unacceptable.

At the same time, Jia Dongxu couldn't help but smile and step forward after seeing Yi Zhonghai enter, and said something.

"Master, I'm going to be a father."

Yi Zhonghai, at this moment, felt a slight disdain for Jia Dongxu in front of him.

"Ha, what do you mean 'your child'? Call him my son!"

However, on the surface, he still put on the appearance of a kind teacher and couldn't help but pat Jia Dongxu on the shoulder.

"Dongxu, now that you're a father, you can't be as lazy as before, okay?"

Before Jia Dongxu could speak, Jia Zhangshi, standing to the side, spoke up in a somewhat displeased tone.

"How could my Dongxu possibly slack off?"

Yi Zhonghai knew it wasn't appropriate to discuss this matter directly with Jia Zhangshi, so after offering a few more words of congratulations, he left. But at that moment, something else was on his mind.

Is the child in Qin Huairu's belly her own?

On the other side, after Yi Zhonghai went out...

Jia Dongxu couldn't help but hug Qin Huairu tightly, and said in a somewhat excited tone.

"Huai Ru, you are truly a great contributor to our family."

However, while holding her, he noticed that Qin Huairu was rather thin.

He then frowned, looked at Jia Zhangshi, and for the first time straightened his back in front of Qin Huairu, forcing himself to speak.

"Mom, you can't let Huairu do less work in the future, and she has to eat more."

Jia Zhangshi, who was still immersed in joy, became unhappy when she heard that Qin Huairu would have to do less work.

Just kidding, if your partner doesn't do the housework, you're expected to do it yourself, right?

So she immediately frowned and said with dissatisfaction.

"Back when I was heavily pregnant with you, didn't I still do all the housework by myself? Old Jia..."

Before he could even cast a summoning spell, Jia Dongxu spoke in a very casual tone.

"Alright then, with Huai Ru's frail body, your grandson might starve and be born looking like a skinny monkey, or something might happen if he's not careful while working..."

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi froze on the spot before her summoning performance even began.

After a brief deliberation, her desire for a grandson ultimately outweighed her appreciation for food, and she also felt that her son was right.

Right now, Qin Huairu is eating, not just for herself, but also to make sure her beloved grandson is eating well.

However, before that, Madam Jia couldn't help but add another comment.

"Let's go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow and see how old my grandson is."

The reason why Jia Zhangshi was willing to spend this money was primarily because this matter concerned her grandson.

She was also somewhat reluctant, after all, this meant she had to do the work.

Jia Dongxu nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Qin Huairu felt a warm feeling in her heart, and even Jia Dongxu seemed to grow taller.

This is the first time that Jia Dongxu, a mama's boy, has stood up to his mother for his own sake.

How could she not be excited?

As night deepened, Qin Huairu slipped out again under the pretext of going to the toilet.

As soon as she arrived at the restroom, she saw Yi Zhonghai, just as she expected.

At that moment, Yi Zhonghai looked at Qin Huairu with extreme excitement.

This time, he was no longer concerned about Qin Huairu's health, but about the important matter of his life that he was looking forward to—the matter of his child.

"Huai Ru, this child..."

"Master Yi, this should be yours, after all, you were already with that family back then..."

As Qin Huairu spoke, her face flushed red, and she couldn't help but lower her head.

After receiving a positive answer from Qin Huairu, Yi Zhonghai's idea became even more resolute.

However, even those who have no offspring still have some brains.

He couldn't help but make the suggestion.

"Huai Ru, why don't you go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow and see what the results are?"

That's right, what Yi Zhonghai needs to confirm is the month. If the month matches, then it can prove that this is his child.

Qin Huairu, meanwhile, couldn't help but curse Yi Zhonghai inwardly for his many schemes.

Deep down, he was thinking that the baby's gestation period absolutely could not be too early; if it was, then he wouldn't be able to count on Yi Zhonghai.

The next day, quite unusually, Jia Dongxu didn't stay in bed, and Jia Zhangshi also made breakfast again after Qin Huairu entered the house.

He was relatively amiable towards Qin Huairu at the dinner table, but his eyes were constantly fixed on her belly. Qin Huairu knew that this change was precisely because she was pregnant.

As Qin Huairu prepared the three members of the Jia family to leave, she looked directly at Yi Zhonghai, and Jia Dongxu also looked at Yi Zhonghai and spoke directly.

"Master, could you please take a day off today? I want to take Huairu to the hospital to see if she is pregnant and how far along she is."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai nodded.

However, he rolled his eyes and immediately said.

"Dongxu, I'll go with you to take a look."

As he spoke, Yi Zhonghai looked at the people in the courtyard who also worked at the steel rolling mill and asked them to help him and Jia Dongxu ask for leave.

Although Jia Zhangshi was confused, she ultimately didn't say anything. In her opinion, it was fine as long as Yi Zhonghai went to the hospital with her family.

Then the other party can pay the money, right?

After arriving at the hospital, the doctor conducted a series of examinations.

With Qin Huairu feeling extremely uneasy, the doctor spoke with a light laugh.

"Congratulations, you are indeed pregnant. You are about three months along. You should pay attention to your diet from now on."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai, who was standing to the side, trembled, and his face gradually turned red with excitement.

If he had any doubts before, the months now seem to match up.

At that moment, Yi Zhonghai finally believed that the child in Qin Huairu's belly was his own.

But Qin Huairu was thinking of someone else at that moment…
