Farm Girl's Manor-Chapter 1376: Extra Eleven: Beating_2

This time, her sister’s life finally came full circle, and he also knew more clearly how to treat those children.

Old Lady Cui remained silent for a long time before a kind smile slowly replaced the stern expression on her face, "The Mo Family is blessed to have such a daughter, and it is also a blessing for your sister! The General Mansion lacks experienced elders, and Rourou is inexperienced as well. The girl is becoming a mother for the first time, and her heart must be filled with trepidation. Tomorrow, have your eldest daughter-in-law go on behalf of Rourou in person!"

"Yes, Mother." Grand Master Cui saw that his mother’s attitude had also changed and understood the deeper meaning behind sending his wife to the General Mansion in person. He quickly agreed. freewёbnoνel.com

Putting aside the change in the Cui mother and son’s mindset, in the middle of the night, Mo Yan threw a petty temper. She lay facing away from Xiao Ruiyuan, and regardless of how he lowered his stance to apologize and say nice things, she didn’t respond at all.

Last night, Mo Yan had been diagnosed by a doctor with average medical skills as possibly being pregnant. Not entirely reassured, she visited Du’s Medical Hall in person, where Doctor Du indeed detected the happy pulse. However, the fetus was less than a month old, and the pulse was faint and hard to discern.

As the weather got hotter, her appetite should have worsened, but surprisingly, perhaps due to the child, Mo Yan’s appetite was unexpectedly good. It was just that the food she normally ate tasted somewhat bland, and she started to crave stinky tofu, asking Yuan Yue to go out and buy some for her.

Yuan Yue had accompanied her to Du’s Medical Hall, where Doctor Du himself had written a list of dietary taboos for pregnant women, most of which involved food restrictions. With stinky tofu’s peculiar smell, how could Yuan Yue dare to buy it? So she took some silver and wandered around the streets, coming back to say that she couldn’t find any.

Mo Yan thought Yuan Yue truly hadn’t found any and asked her to wait for Xiao Ruiyuan where he worked. When Xiao Ruiyuan got off work, she wanted him to bring her a bowl of stinky tofu.

After hearing about the pregnancy taboos from Yuan Yue, Xiao Ruiyuan added the oddly-smelling stinky tofu to the list of forbidden foods, and then he returned home empty-handed. This upset Mo Yan, whose temper had become somewhat erratic during her pregnancy. She felt that Xiao Ruiyuan cared only about the child and not about her, to the point of not even buying her a bowl of stinky tofu.

"Yanyan, it’s not that your husband isn’t willing to buy it for you; my master clearly said that the stranger the food, the better it is to avoid it. Once the baby is born, no matter how much stinky tofu you want to eat, I will buy it for you, and I’ll even eat it with you. Please don’t be angry anymore, alright?"

Xiao Ruiyuan’s hand stealthily reached for his wife’s waist, gently pulling her close. His voice was as tender as it could be—a sight that his soldiers would probably never believe, thinking that their Great General was possessed by a ghost.

With a crisp "smack," Mo Yan slapped down hard on the hand on her waist. She inched further away, pressing her back against the wall.

Xiao Ruiyuan, not minding the stinging on the back of his hand, quickly pulled his wife back to the center of the bed, "The bed is cold; be careful not to catch a chill. It’s not good for you or the baby."

Holding back from acknowledging him all this while, Mo Yan finally exploded, turned around, sat up, and pushed Xiao Ruiyuan away, "Baby, baby, baby, it’s always about the baby with you! All you see is the baby—you have no regard for me, not even buying me a bowl of stinky tofu! I don’t want to see you right now, and I don’t want to talk to you. Stay away from me, hmph!"

After speaking, Mo Yan, still offended, lay back down with her back to Xiao Ruiyuan. Her wide-open eyes began to well up with tears.

This guy, once he had the child, had all his concerns focused on the baby, showing no consideration for her. It was just a bowl of stinky tofu—for heaven’s sake, there were no gutter oils or chemical additives here, why couldn’t a pregnant woman eat it? Always using the baby as an excuse!

Xiao Ruiyuan was momentarily baffled, watching his wife’s back and rubbing his temples helplessly, feeling that commanding thousands of troops was never this exhausting.

He intended to explain it thoroughly to his wife, but after opening his mouth, he found he had already explained several times, and yet his wife’s anger seemed only to grow. This left him at a loss for words.

After a long while with no sound from behind him, Mo Yan, not wanting to engage or argue anymore, felt a surge of sourness in her heart, followed by a warmth around her eyes as two teardrops fell onto the pillow with a ’plop.’

Within the Space, Xuetuan, who had been watching the drama for quite a while, was speechlessly choked up, sympathizing deeply with Xiao Ruiyuan. For the first time, he felt that women were troublesome.
