"Everyone, hold on a moment. I need to explain something. We have matters to attend to and will be leaving now. This afternoon, you all keep an eye on things. If it gets too busy, close up early, but make sure to communicate clearly with the customers."
"Don't worry, Madam, we will definitely complete the task," several workers straightened their backs and patted their chests in assurance.
"Alright, if you do well, I'll give you red envelopes. We're off now."
After that, Zhang and Zhao hurried home. Due to Zhao's special circumstances today, the speed of their carriage was as slow as a snail.
"Siblings, it's been over a decade; you really need to be careful. From now on, don't go into town. I'll take care of everything while you stay home and focus on your pregnancy without worrying about anything else."
"Okay, I understand, Fourth Sister. Thank you for today. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even know I was pregnant." Zhao radiated maternal warmth as she gently stroked her belly.
There was a life growing inside her, soon to be born and gradually grow into a big child. Just watching them grow up quietly would be the greatest happiness.
Zhao felt fortunate; if Zhang hadn't insisted on taking her to the clinic, she would have never realized she was pregnant. After all these years of taking medicine and seeking remedies without any effect, who could have imagined that at thirty years old, she would suddenly receive such a precious gift?
This was a gift bestowed upon her. Zhao didn't even remember how she got home; her mind was filled with thoughts of the little tadpole that had yet to grow.
Zhang stayed by her side out of concern that Zhao might accidentally hurt herself while lost in thought at home.
By evening, people from Ten Li Pu were finishing work one after another. Liu Laowu hadn't even had time to put down his rolled-up sleeves when he heard that Zhao had returned early and was looking for him.
"What’s wrong? Child's mother? I rushed back as soon as I heard!" Without even stepping inside, Liu Laowu hurriedly dashed toward the house.
Zhang happened to come out and stopped his reckless movement: "Fifth Son, take it easy; don’t scare Siblings."
"What?" Liu Laowu was stunned, his face suddenly turning pale. "Sister-in-law, what's wrong? What happened to Child's mother?" He couldn't help but worry that something bad had happened; why was he unable to speak loudly? How serious could this be?
Liu Laowu couldn't imagine the severity of the situation; his mind went blank, and he felt completely lost.
Zhang saw his expression and realized there was a misunderstanding. He slapped his forehead. "Look at you! I haven't even finished speaking, and you're already jumping to conclusions. It's not a bad thing; it's a good thing, a big good thing!"
"Sister-in-law, what exactly is going on?" Liu Laowu was in a state of confusion, his heart rising and falling erratically.
"Oh dear, since you're back, I won't stay at your house any longer. I'm leaving now. You take good care of Siblings. As for the good news?" Zhang winked at Liu Laowu. "Let Siblings tell you."
It seemed that the couple should be happily sharing their feelings, so she decided not to interfere.
In the Main House, Liu Laowu followed Zhang's instructions and cautiously walked inside. He saw Zhao sitting by the bed, gently stroking her belly.
Hearing the faint sound of footsteps, she slowly looked up. Upon seeing the man return, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably as she trembled and threw herself into Liu Laowu's arms.
"Sniffle..." The suppressed sobs made Liu Laowu's heart ache.
Finally, after Zhao had vented her emotions, she shyly lifted her head from his embrace, her face flushed.
"Dear, we're having another child! I'm pregnant!"
With a loud bang, it felt like thunder exploded in Liu Laowu's mind; the shock from this news was no less than what Zhao felt.
Inside the Main House, Zhao initially cried and laughed, but soon it was Liu Laowu who found himself overwhelmed with emotion. After a long while, they gradually calmed down.
After years of longing, they were finally having another child. "Mother, you shouldn't go anywhere from now on; just stay home and rest. You mustn't move around too much." Right now, Zhao's belly was precious.
Indeed, over the years, perhaps since life has improved and living standards have risen, their family, with fewer members and less burden, gradually became more willing to spend on food and drink, and naturally, their health improved.
Unexpectedly, good news came just like that.
In the evening, Liu Qinglian also learned of this good news and was extremely excited.
"Mom, am I going to have a little brother?"
A brother—this word was incredibly familiar to her but had never appeared in her life.
If she had a brother, there would no longer be anyone who could say that their family was cut off from others.
"It might not be a brother," after all, no one could be certain about such things.
"Even if it's not a brother, I would be happy with a sister too. Hee hee hee~~~" Laughter filled the air.
The three of them gathered around the dining table, and what was different this time was that Zhao was surrounded by the two women like a princess.
"Alright, alright, it's not that exaggerated. I just need to keep it in my heart; you two hurry up and eat."
At that moment, Zhao suddenly paused and turned to Zhang Wuliang, saying, "We haven't sent the letter we wrote to Qingxi today. Let's share this good news with her later."
They were eager to announce this good news to everyone immediately.
In the capital city, at Liu Qingxi's home
After some time, with Zhou's help, Liu Qingxi had wandered through the streets of the capital. Even though she couldn't enter to observe the layout inside closely, just looking from the doorway gave her a rough idea of the house's style.
Don't be fooled by her outward appearance; what she needs is already etched in her heart.
Now that she has come to the capital and decided to develop the Construction Team again, Liu Qingxi has not taken a break except for the initial arrangements for food, clothing, and shelter.
Zhou has also been running around with her, completely exhausted.
"Sister-in-law, thank you so much! Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to get things done so quickly here!"
"No need to thank me; this is what I should do. I may not be good at anything else, but I can at least show you the way."
"Without you, I wouldn't have been able to accomplish anything. Since you're busy today, I won't keep you. Just bring the kids over to play another time."
After sending off the helpful Zhou, Liu Qingxi smiled, her dimples making her look incredibly sweet.
It's not the kind of fiery charm; rather, it's more like the comfort and relaxation brought by a girl next door.
