C49 The Plum and Bamboo Horses Are Reunited
Her hand slowly covered her lower abdomen, while Zhou Qu put his hand on hers. He said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect you guys well!"
Lee Wanning believed him.
Then... Trust him.
When he returned home, Zhou Huai was extremely anxious. When he saw Lee Wanning and Zhou Qu return, he immediately rushed over and asked, "How was it?"
Lee Wanning and Zhou Qu looked at each other and smiled, then said to Zhou Huai, "You're going to be an uncle now."
"Uncle?" Zhou Huai thought for a while and finally reacted, "Sister-in-law, are you pregnant?"
Lee Wanning nodded. Zhou Huai pulled over a chair for her to sit on and said, "Then you have to be careful. You can call me for whatever you want to eat in the future, understand?"
Looking at his expression, Lee Wanning couldn't help but chuckle. Zhou Qu was also very serious, "Yes, from today onwards, you don't have to do anything. Do you understand?"
Lee Wanning looked at the two people in front of her. Although she had been doing all sorts of small things since she came here, she had gained a lot from this.
Zhou Qu and Zhou Huai both valued this child very much. No matter what kind of job it was, they would fight with Lee Wanning for it. Even though Lee Wanning told them that proper exercise was good for pregnant women and babies, they just didn't want to listen to her.
The change of events occurred on a snowy day.
In the blink of an eye, it had been half a year since Lee Wanning came here. The child was growing up in her stomach day by day. Zhou Qu was responsible for working at the county magistrate's mansion.
Lee Wanning was happy with her free time and started preparing the baby's birth.
In the past, Lili didn't think children were cute at all. On the other hand, it was because of the devilish brat from their family during the holidays. There were many times when Lili almost directly got into a fight with them.
Now that she had a child of her own, Lee Wanning felt that she wanted to give him everything she thought was good.
Today, it suddenly started snowing. Lee Wanning personally went to cook, but she could only watch as the dishes on the table slowly became cold with Zhou Huai.
Zhou Qu hasn't come back yet.
There was nothing to worry about in the County Magistrate's Office. Zhou Qu came back on time every day. Suddenly, Lee Wanning felt that something was off.
She pushed Zhou Huai and said, "Go take a look, did something happen?"
Just as Lee Wanning finished her sentence, Zhou Qu's voice appeared at the door. Lee Wanning originally wanted to go up directly, but she soon saw another person following behind Zhou Qu.
Lee Wanning was not unfamiliar with that person. She had met him once before, Zhou Qu's childhood friend, Tan Cui Huan.
Lee Wanning's footsteps suddenly stopped. Zhou Qu had already walked up to her and said, "Aa Ning, I just ran into something, so …"
"Why is she here?" Lee Wanning looked at Tan Cui Huan behind him and said.
Perhaps it was a woman's intuition, Lee Wanning already felt that something was wrong when she first saw Tan Cui Huan, but after that, the two families lived peacefully together. Lee Wanning still felt that she was overthinking things, and now it seemed that this was really not the case.
Zhou Qu said, "It's like this. Today, I saw her at the magistrate's office and found out that her father had been seriously ill for several months. In order to treat her father, she actually wanted to sell herself to him …"
Even before Zhou Qu finished, Lee Wanning understood and looked at Tan Cui Huan. Compared to the first time they met, she seemed to have lost a lot of weight. Her clothes were thin and she was trembling slightly.
Lee Wanning thought for a moment and said, "You seem to be very cold. Come up and change your clothes with me. Zhou Huai, heat up the dishes."
Zhou Qu originally thought that Lee Wanning would be unhappy. Although her mood was really strange, he did not say anything. He only watched as Tan Cui Huan, supported by Lee Wanning, went upstairs.
These days, Lee Wanning had gained a lot of weight, but it was definitely not obese. Her Qi and blood were also much better looking than before. She took out her own clothes and gave them to Tan Cui Huan.
She said thank you.
Lee Wanning said, "Your father's illness …"
"It's an old sickness, but it's very serious this time. I can't get out of bed for months …"
As Tan Cuihuan said this, she started to cry. Lee Wanning quickly said, "It's fine, don't worry. Since you are Zhou Qu's friend, we will naturally help you. Let's go eat first!"
The dining table was completely silent. Zhou Qu would observe Lee Wanning's expression from time to time, but Lee Wanning acted as if nothing had happened and made Tan Cui Huan eat a little more.
Zhou Qu didn't know why, but when he saw Lee Wanning acting like this, he felt a little unhappy in his heart. He kept having the feeling that she was … He didn't care about himself.
After the meal, Lee Wanning let Tan Cui Huan sleep in the room above the pavilion. Tan Cui Huan kept saying thank you, but Lee Wanning didn't say anything.
Zhou Qu brought hot water into the room. Lee Wanning was sitting there thinking about something.
Zhou Qu slowly walked forward and said, "I'll wash your feet."
Lee Wanning coldly snorted and said, "Didn't I just give you face? Now tell me, what do you want to do? "
Zhou Qu was stunned, but instead, he pursed his lips and smiled.
Lee Wanning looked at his smile and said, "What are you laughing about?" How about I clean up a room for you two tomorrow and have you two marry each other? "
Zhou Qu soaked Lee Wanning's feet in water and said, "Don't say it like that, you clearly know that I will only marry you for the rest of my life."
Lee Wanning snorted. Zhou Qu continued, "But I like to see how you look now."
Lee Wanning was slightly stunned.
Zhou Qu said slowly, "If I like you, I will be scared of losing me and sulking."
Lee Wanning didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She pinched him fiercely and said, "Get down to business!" What do you want to do? "
Zhou Qu thought for a moment and said, "That year, when my parents died, her father helped us a lot. Now …"
Lee Wanning also understood and said, "Okay, since we don't need much money in our lives, you can give her some tomorrow and let her treat her father. But Zhou Qu, the thing I need to explain to you is, you need to clarify the relationship, understand?"
Zhou Qu nodded and hugged her. Lee Wanning exclaimed and hugged Zhou Qu's neck. Zhou Qu smiled. Lee Wanning lightly hit his chest and said, "Be careful of the child!"
"Like you said, proper exercise is good for the child …"
Lee Wanning's resistance was futile.
Lee Wanning did not react much during the initial stages of pregnancy, but today, she became addicted to sleep. When she woke up the next day, she found that Zhou Qu was no longer around, but Tan Cui Huan was still around.
Lee Wanning's eyes immediately darkened, and Tan Cui Huan directly knelt down in front of her, and said: "Sister-in-law, I know it is not appropriate for me to stay here like this, but my father said that if there is nothing to do, I will not accept it. You have helped our family so much, we should repay you! But I don't know anything, except that my hands and feet are still quite nimble. From today onwards, how about letting me serve you? "
Tan Cuihuan's words were like memorized lines as she slipped away and said directly. Lee Wanning thought for a moment and said, "This is Zhou Qu's idea?"
Tan Cui Huan did not answer. Lee Wanning thought that it could not be Zhou Qu. If he still did not tell her, then she would definitely be locked outside the door today.
In the entire Guxi Village, there was probably only his family that could live in a small town and Zhou Qu was still working in the county magistrate's office. If news of this were to spread, many people would be extremely envious, the Tan Clan did not think much of Zhou Family before, but now that they saw the current state of Zhou Family, they definitely wanted to make Tan Cui Huan come forward.
Zhou Qu didn't understand what Lee Wanning didn't know, but she definitely wouldn't let this happen.
She went up and pulled Tan Cuihuan up from the ground and said, "You don't need to be like this, last night Zhou Qu also told me, before this, you helped him a lot, now we help you, it's only right that we help you. Serving you like this, don't say anymore, it's not like I can't get up in bed, do you?"
Lee Wanning shut her mouth immediately, causing Tan Cui Huan to open her mouth and say, "But letting you guys take advantage of me for so many years doesn't seem like a good idea …"
"It's alright, this is our wish. Your father should be taken care of by someone, right? It's better to go home and take care of him! "
After Lee Wanning had finished speaking, even if Tan Cuihuan wanted to stay, she could only get up and say, "Then … I'll thank Sister-in-law. "
Lee Wanning nodded and said, "With my stomach, I won't send you off. Go slowly!"
Tan Cui's hands tightly gripped her clothes as she turned around and left.
As Lee Wanning watched her back, her eyes immediately darkened. She felt that Tan Cui Huan definitely wasn't willing to leave like this.
Zhou Qu's heart softened. If he did too much, it would not be good …
Lee Wanning's head began to hurt as she thought about it. Coincidentally, Zhou Huai also came out. Lee Wanning pulled him and said, "Zhou Huai, let me discuss something with you!"
Zhou Huai felt that something was wrong with Lee Wanning's behavior. Just as he was about to reject her, Lee Wanning said, "Sister-in-law, I usually treat you so well. You won't not help me, right?"
Zhou Huai could only smile bitterly, "Sister-in-law, please tell me."
