CHAPTER 737: CHAPTER 733 THE POISONOUS WOMAN (9TH UPDATE)
News about Feng Xiaohua being pregnant quickly spread throughout the entire Old Yu Family.
The members of the Old Yu Family all reacted strongly, but they were congratulating Yu Liulang.
Mrs. Li, in her own room, heard what people were saying outside, and almost tore the pillow in her hand to pieces.
Feng Xiaohua is pregnant?
How is that possible? She clearly gave Yu Liulang the medicine to make sure his manhood was out of order, so he couldn’t possibly have a child.
The more Mrs. Li thought about it, the angrier she became, and she immediately crawled off her bed to go and find out what was happening.
She went straight to Yu Liulang’s room, which was crowded with people enjoying the spectacle.
Mu Shuangshuang’s big aunt was talking to Feng Xiaohua, who was lying on the bed, about things to be cautious of during pregnancy, looking all kindly.
Mu Shuangshuang hadn’t interacted much with this big aunt but could tell she was good at dealing with people.
Moreover, her big uncle was also a simple and honest man, so Mu Shuangshuang temporarily ruled out their family’s suspicion.
Yu Erlang had gone into the mountains to chop wood and hadn’t returned yet; he knew nothing about Feng Xiaohua having a baby, so for now, his motives couldn’t be determined.
As for Mrs. Li, who hadn’t appeared, Mu Shuangshuang couldn’t judge either.
But just as Mu Shuangshuang mentioned Mrs. Li, she barged in, shouting from afar.
"Oh my, Xiao Hua, heard you’re pregnant; come on, let Second Sister-in-law take a look." Mrs. Li sat at the edge of Feng Xiaohua’s bed, shoving Mu Shuangshuang’s big aunt, Mrs. Zhang, aside.
Mrs. Zhang was never one to argue; even when pushed aside by Mrs. Li, she still kept smiling.
She never took her eyes off Feng Xiaohua; it was clear Mrs. Zhang genuinely liked Feng Xiaohua and was happy for her pregnancy.
"Second Sister-in-law, thank you for coming." Feng Xiaohua said.
"We’re family, no need for courtesy. But lying down like this isn’t ideal. Women should move more during pregnancy; otherwise, the baby won’t be healthy.
By the way, how many months is yours now? Can you tell Second Sister-in-law?"
"Just about a month." Feng Xiaohua said.
Mrs. Li was dumbfounded. The medicine was given to Yu Liulang exactly a month ago.
Could it be that the medicine was fake?
At this moment, Mrs. Li regretted deeply. She blamed herself for being foolish, not eavesdropping by the window when Feng Xiaohua and Yu Liulang were together; otherwise, she’d know what their situation was.
Mu Shuangshuang noticed Mrs. Li’s unnatural demeanor.
To be honest, Mrs. Li seemed the most suspicious; she normally mocked Feng Xiaohua but was now showing concern.
But everything depends on evidence, so Mu Shuangshuang temporarily said nothing.
"Second Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law..." Feng Xiaohua called Mrs. Li for quite some time.
Finally, Mrs. Li snapped back to reality.
"Second Sister-in-law, what’s wrong? Are you unwell? Do you want to see a doctor?" Feng Xiaohua asked.
"No problem, what could be wrong with me? Isn’t it just you being pregnant that makes Second Sister-in-law really happy? You want something to eat, just tell Second Sister-in-law; I’ll make it personally."
"No need, Second Sister-in-law, you don’t look well either; you should rest. Fourth sister said she’ll cook lunch herself."
Looking at Feng Xiaohua’s appearance, Mrs. Li disliked her more and more, feeling she was flaunting, showing off in front of her.
"Then Second Sister-in-law will leave first. Rest well and don’t just lie there; go out more often."
Mrs. Li’s smile disappeared as soon as she left Feng Xiaohua’s room.
Her face was clouded over; Feng Xiaohua really was pregnant.
Her tea garden was in danger.
Mrs. Li spent the whole morning sitting in her room; when Yu Erlang returned, she originally wanted to ask his opinion, but seeing the joy on his face, Mrs. Li was about to explode.
"Why are you smiling? You’re happy that Feng Xiaohua is pregnant?" Mrs. Li questioned.
"Are you stupid? If my brother’s wife is pregnant, why wouldn’t I be happy?" Yu Erlang glanced at Mrs. Li.
"You’re happy, but that illegitimate child in her belly isn’t yours; what are you so pleased about?"
"Wouldn’t be that the child is just an illegitimate brat of yours?" Mrs. Li accused Yu Erlang fiercely.
Yu Erlang was so angry, he almost breathed fire.
"You madwoman, what did you eat to have a mouth like that? If Lao Liu finds out about what you said, he’ll surely kill you!" Yu Erlang shouted.
"Yu Erlang, you coward, thinking I don’t know you fancy Feng Xiaohua, staring at her behind all the time; you think you’re something?"
"You’re talking nonsense!"
Yu Erlang was nearly infuriated to death.
"I’m talking nonsense? Then explain why you keep staring at her behind, multiple times!
Today, if you don’t clear this up, I’ll tell Yu Liulang, let him know that his elder brother covets his sister-in-law, always thinking about doing something with her."
"You... you..." Yu Erlang was lost for words.
He truly felt wronged. Originally, it was Mrs. Li who told him that father and mother said if Feng Xiaohua gave birth, the tea garden would be handed to her to manage.
Yu Erlang felt he had endured enough humiliation over the years; he wanted to accomplish something.
But unfortunately, he wasn’t skilled with the tea garden; managing it depended on his elder brother and Yu Liulang.
As for staring at Feng Xiaohua’s behind, it was entirely because village elders often said a bigger behind meant better chances of a son.
He was genuinely worried that if Feng Xiaohua had a son, she’d gain his parents’ favor, and he’d miss out on the last sip of meat broth.
"Hmph, I just knew Feng Xiaohua couldn’t have children. I gave Yu Liulang such heavy medicine; how could she be pregnant?" Mrs. Li seemed to have an epiphany.
"So Feng Xiaohua being pregnant is actually because it’s your baby, right?"
Yu Erlang stared at Feng Xiaohua, shocked.
"What did you say, you gave my sixth brother medicine? What medicine?" Yu Erlang asked.
"What else but medicine to prevent having children, hmph. I never expected in the end Feng Xiaohua would benefit, that bit..."
As soon as Mrs. Li finished speaking, the door was kicked open.
Outside the door were the old couple of the Yu Family, Mu Dashan and his wife, along with Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng, Yu Liulang and Feng Xiaohua, all standing at the entrance, looking as if they were ready to eat Mrs. Li alive.
"Li Juhua, you treacherous woman, how dare you give my son that kind of medicine, I..." Old Mrs. Yu was so furious she stamped her foot, and after a few words, her head spun, barely being caught by Feng Xiaohua and Yu Si Niang before she fainted.
"Second Sister-in-law, you heartless woman, Yu Liulang never wronged you, yet you harm me like this!"
Seeing so many people, Mrs. Li was already panicking.
She didn’t know how all these people were at her door.
What was going on?
"Dad, Mom, listen to me; I was joking with Erlang just now; how could I harm Liulang? He’s my brother!"
