Quick Transmigration: My First Female Skill Takes Effect

Gu Sanhe stretched out his hand, on which lay a small, gleaming silver ingot, weighing more than two ounces.

It's really beautiful.

Li Ling carefully held it in her hand, waiting for Gu Sanhe's explanation.

"I encountered a child thief, chased after him, and rescued the child. This is a thank-you gift from the child's parents." He spoke with great pride.

Money earned through intelligence and skill is simply awesome.

Holding two taels of silver in her hands, Li Ling praised, "You're amazing."

Gu Sanhe nodded slightly.

"Second Brother didn't stop him, and many people on the road didn't stop him either. Only you saved him," Li Ling recited with intonation.

"He truly is my husband."

Gu Sanhe's lips curled into a smile, his whole body brimming with power: "Is there anything you want me to do?"

"Our clothes were originally washed by my second sister-in-law, but she's busy. If you're not tired, you can wash them yourself." Li Ling offered this option for the sake of the two taels of silver.

"It's not that I don't want to wash, it's that I think I might be pregnant."

This time, Li Ling really felt that she might be pregnant. Although she had no symptoms, she just had a gut feeling that she was pregnant.

"I must protect her."

Gu Sanhe looked at her belly in surprise: "Really?" He thought about the time when the two of them had been intimate, and realized that it was indeed possible.

He hurriedly grabbed Li Ling's arm, his eyes filled with anxiety: "Then why don't you sit down and rest?"

He then took out a few pieces of osmanthus cake from the cabinet and placed them in front of Li Ling: "Eat if you're hungry."

"I'll buy it after you sell your embroidery."

"I'm going to do the laundry." Gu Sanhe quickly left with a wooden basin, clothes, and soap, and started washing right there in the yard.

As for water, there is some in the jar.

As the sun sets, people working in the fields are hurrying home.

As soon as the Gu family entered their home, they saw Gu Sanhe hanging clothes to dry not far away, and everyone's eyes secretly turned to Old Lady Gu.

Grandma Gu: "..."

She walked over, glanced at Gu Sanhe, and then looked at the water in the vat: "Aren't you tired? The vat is empty, remember to fill it with water."

Gu Sanhe just pleaded for mercy. There are still four men in the house. Can't they choose one?

"Choose everything today."

Grandma Gu asserted her authority in the family without any room for argument, looking at Grandpa Gu and his three other sons: "None of you are allowed to help him."

"Especially the second child."

Gu Ershui glanced helplessly at his third brother and replied, "...Okay, I understand, Mother."

Gu Sanhe: "..."

He didn't expect his second brother to rebel against their parents.

Li Ling came out of the house at this moment, and she knew that she was having a bad day: "Mother, it's not Sanhe's fault, it's my fault. I think I'm pregnant."

"I just had Sanhe wash it."

"Otherwise, I definitely would have washed it. He works all day and it's hard for him. You feel sorry for him, and so do I."

Haha, Old Mrs. Gu really couldn't believe that her third daughter-in-law could care for her third son.

Showing concern for someone means letting them rest, not making them work.

She's old, not stupid.

However, she glanced at Li Ling's stomach and asked, "Are you really pregnant?" It's been three years since she entered the family, and she still hasn't been able to give her a grandchild.

She's not as good as the fourth son's wife; she's already given birth to a girl.

Li Ling nodded: "I think it's true, but I haven't had a doctor come to see it yet."

Grandma Gu turned to her eldest daughter-in-law, who was watching the spectacle, and said, "Go and invite Doctor Yu over."

The eldest daughter-in-law, Shen Yun, looked at her second sister-in-law and was about to suggest that she go, but the old lady's piercing gaze fixed on her: "...Oh, Mother."

On her way there, she kept muttering about how Li Ling was making trouble out of nothing, getting pregnant, and how everyone has been pregnant before, and that Li Ling had already given birth to four children.

Li Ling readily accepted the old lady's offer to find her a doctor, since the Gu family had always consulted a doctor to confirm the pregnancy of their first child.

She was just one of them.

Compared to Gu Sanhe's excitement, the rest of the Gu family remained calm; they all had children.

Doctor Yu rushed over without stopping to take her pulse. Li Ling felt unusually nervous and stared intently at the doctor.

Gu Sanhe and Old Lady Gu also looked at Doctor Yu.

Doctor Yu: "..."

Three pairs of eyes were fixed on him, and cold sweat inexplicably broke out on his forehead.

"...Yes, you're one month pregnant." Doctor Yu withdrew his hand and gave the pregnant woman some instructions.

Grandma Gu gave him copper coins and saw him off. Before Gu Sanhe and his companion could even react, Grandma Gu returned.

"Alright, let's eat."

Upon hearing this, everyone snapped out of their daze, some going to get rice, others to get cornbread.

Li Ling sat there calmly, touching her stomach, and coughed to remind the old lady, "Mother, should I start eating eggs to nourish my body tomorrow?"

During the pregnancy of the Gu family's daughter-in-law, she received an egg every three days as a subsidy.

Grandma Gu nodded: "I'll cook it for you tomorrow."

The eldest daughter-in-law, Shen Yun, paused in serving the rice, but when she saw her beloved son, Dalang, she continued to tilt her head back. Her parents-in-law valued Dalang the most.

The eldest grandson of the Gu family will be sent to the village private school in the future.

As for the child in the third brother's wife's belly, since it's neither the eldest nor the youngest, it won't get anything.

Besides her, the fourth daughter-in-law, Zhou Xing, was equally indignant, resenting the old lady's favoritism. She had started eating eggs when she was one and a half months old.

Why should she have to eat half a month less than others?

"Mother," she said cautiously.

Grandma Gu glanced at her: "What are you doing?" Even eating can be a chore.

"Mom, I ate half a month less eggs than my third sister-in-law. Can you make it up to me?" Half a month is a full five eggs.

Grandma Gu was so angry she laughed. She scolded, "Fourth son's wife, if you don't want to eat, go back to your room and starve. Don't go looking for trouble all the time."

"Always thinking about things you shouldn't be thinking about."

"Why don't you compete with your second son's wife in being more diligent? All you do is ask me for eggs."

Zhou Xinghua: "..."

She sniffed, turned to look at her man, and tried to say a few words in her defense, but Gu Sihai didn't even glance at her; his eyes were fixed on the steamed bun in front of him.

"...Oh," she replied, sounding frustrated.

She sat down and pinched Gu Sihai's arm.

Gu Sihai looked at her with a bewildered grin, "What's wrong now?"

Disappointed, Zhou Xinghua blew on the bowl, took a sip, and then picked up the cornbread to eat, biting it hard with her teeth.

When she took more, Grandma Gu looked at her hand; the steamed buns were also limited to one per person per meal.

Zhou Xinghua pulled her hand back. Gu Sanhe, who was standing to the side, was making the old lady angry again. He stretched out one hand and was the first to grab a boiled egg.

Zhou Dalang watched helplessly as his eggs fell into his third uncle's hands, where they were peeled and handed to his third aunt's bowl.

His aunt took a bite out of his egg, and a piece of the egg was gone in an instant.

"Wow wow wow."

Zhou Dalang started to cry.

While coaxing the child, Shen Yun glared at her third brother-in-law and his wife. She considered herself a girl from a family of scholars and felt it inappropriate to argue with her brother-in-law.

She looked expectantly at her mother-in-law.

"Gu..."

"Mother, we'll give our eggs to Dalang tomorrow."

Li Ling took a sip of soup, looked at the crying Gu Dalang, and felt a pang of guilt, but quickly let it go.

Dalang eats it every day.

Her baby only eats one every three days, and it's her baby who's suffering.

For a moment, she said in a calm tone, "Stop crying, or I won't give you any eggs tomorrow."
