Country Love: Xie Dajiao, 37, is pregnant!

After dark, the moon hung in the sky, and the courtyard was shrouded in a hazy glow.

Liu Ying returned from her parents' home. As soon as she opened the courtyard gate, Zhao Yutian immediately came out of the house to greet her and carefully helped her.

"How did it go? Did your dad agree? He didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

Liu Ying looked at him with a forced smile and slowly began to speak:

"Oh my god, you keep calling me 'your dad,' but isn't my dad your dad?"

Zhao Yutian was taken aback:

"Why not... It doesn't sound right."

"What's so catchy about it?"

Liu Ying glared at him, her tone slightly annoyed:

"If you call my dad 'Dad,' will it cost you a piece of flesh or make you shorter? Do I have to teach you such basic manners?"

Zhao Si sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) and tried to smooth things over:

"Look at you, child, how can you talk like that? Yingzi, um... did your father... no, did my in-laws agree?"

"I agree, but my dad has a condition."

"What are the conditions?" Zhao Yutian asked quickly.

"My dad's idea is to hold the celebration at his house, not ours."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yutian immediately sneered:

"What? What was he thinking? My wife is pregnant and we're having a celebration, and he wants to hold it right in front of their house? Has he lost his mind? That's ridiculous!"

"Look at you, what's the rush?"

Liu Ying turned to look at Zhao Si and said slowly:

Just then, Yu Tian's mother came in from the outer room. Seeing this scene, she sighed helplessly, nudged Zhao Yu Tian, ​​glanced at Zhao Si, and muttered to herself:

"Sigh, it's over. Our Zhao family is completely under their control."

Zhao Si's lips twitched incessantly. Looking at his sullen son, he couldn't utter a word for a long time, truly at his wit's end.

After Liu Ying entered the house, the three members of the Zhao family sat around the kang table, no one spoke, their heads drooping, and the sighs that rose and fell in the room made one feel suffocated.

Yutian's mother rubbed her hands together, looking extremely worried, and let out a long sigh:

"What are we going to do? If we hold the celebration at his house, how will the Zhao family put our faces? People who don't know any better will think we're marrying into his family."

Zhao Si puffed on his pipe one puff after another, making a continuous crackling sound.

After remaining silent for a long time, his lips twitched, and he finally managed to utter a sentence:

"Liu Neng is really... taking advantage of us, trying to manipulate us."

"What can we do?"

Zhao Yutian scratched his head, truly at a loss:

"Yingzi is pregnant, we can't argue with her, can we? It would be a real loss if it affected the baby."

The family of three sat there silently for a long time, no one saying a word, and no one could think of a solution.

After a while, Zhao Yutian suddenly slapped his thigh and perked up:

"No way! Let's stop thinking about this here and call Brother Chen to ask what to do! Brother Chen has a lot of ideas, he'll definitely be able to come up with a solution for us."

Zhao Si immediately stubbed out his cigarette, ash scattered on the ground, and nodded repeatedly:

"Alright! Ask Lin Chen, let's fight quickly!"

"Yes, yes, hurry up and call."

Yutian's mother chimed in:

"Young people are quick-witted; they're bound to find a way."

Without hesitation, Zhao Yutian took out his phone, found Lin Chen's number, and dialed it.

The phone rang several times before being answered. On the other end, Lin Chen's muffled voice could be heard, along with some soft noises.

"Hey, Chen-ge? Where are you? Are you busy?"

"The resort isn't busy, what's up?"

Lin Chen's voice was lazy, with a soft groan:

"Get to the point."

Zhao Yutian recounted the entire story in one breath.

From Liu Neng's earlier insistence on buying a car, to Zhao Si's suggestion to hold a pregnancy celebration to appease him, and now Liu Neng's insistence on moving the celebration to his doorstep, nothing has been overlooked.

After saying that, he said in a wronged tone:

"Brother Chen, what should we do? Give me some advice. If we really hold this at his house, my dad and I will never be able to hold our heads up in the village again."

At this moment, in a guest room at the resort, Lin Chen was lying on the bed, and his secretary, Xiao Li, came over to massage his back.

He was shirtless and his back was exposed. Xiao Li stood by the bed and gently massaged him.

The little girl's hands were too weak; when she pressed them against my skin, they felt soft and squishy, ​​almost like a tickle.

Just as Lin Chen was about to tell her to push harder, Zhao Yutian called.

"Um……"

Lin Chen let out a soft groan as he was pressed down, and said lazily:

"That's simple. I have a good plan and a dirty trick. Which one do you want to use?"

"Let's hear some good ideas first," Zhao Yutian quickly replied.

"A good idea is for you and Liu Ying to come to me now. I'll talk to her face to face and clear things up for you two. Stop talking about buying cars and all that useless stuff."

Lin Chen paused, then added:

"It's just that I might put it bluntly."

"Never mind then!"

Zhao Yutian quickly waved his hand, completely forgetting that the person on the other end of the phone couldn't see:

"Yingzi is pregnant now, we can't let her get upset. It's not worth it if something bad happens. What's a bad idea? What's the bad idea?"

Lin Chen's tone was slightly mischievous:

"A more subtle approach is even simpler. Liu Neng wants to do it, doesn't he? He wants to be in the limelight, doesn't he? Just go along with him, agree to hold it at his house, let him organize it, let him do whatever he wants!"

"Once he has informed the entire village and everything is ready, I will greet each villager individually and tell them that no one is allowed to give a gift. I will make Liu Neng treat the whole village to a meal out of his own pocket. I will make him proud and let him feel the pinch. Let's see if he will still think about these useless things next time."

"Great! That's wonderful!"

Zhao Yutian on the other end of the phone slapped his thigh with joy:

"Brother Chen, that was such a ruthless move! Absolutely right! You have no idea how he's controlled our family ever since Liu Ying got pregnant. We haven't dared to breathe a word. This time, he'll finally feel the pinch!"

Zhao Yutian became happier and happier as he thought about it. The thought of Liu Neng working so hard only to lose money made him extremely pleased.

Lin Chen lay face down on the pillow, his back being slowly massaged by Xiao Li. Feeling a little sleepy, he mumbled indistinctly:

"Alright, it's settled then. Who would hold a separate celebration for a pregnant woman? That's just idle talk. Once he's notified everyone, let me know and I'll greet them one by one. Don't worry, I guarantee no one will give a gift."

"Hey! Thanks, Brother Chen!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Yutian's worried expression vanished, and he turned to Zhao Si excitedly, saying:

"Dad! It's done! Brother Chen has given us his plan! It's guaranteed to subdue Liu Neng!"

Zhao Si quickly came over to ask what had happened, and after hearing it, he laughed:

"This trick...it's a dirty trick, but it really works! Let's see how arrogant Liu Neng will be now!"

In the guest room, Lin Chen hung up the phone, tossed it aside, buried his face in the pillow, and mumbled to Xiao Li behind him:

"Put some effort in... Haven't you eaten? It's like you're being tickled."

"Okay! Got it, Brother Chen!"

Xiao Li readily agreed, adding a bit of force to his hand, but it still felt light and airy, lacking any real strength.

Lin Chen grew impatient.

"Push harder! Didn't you eat? Push harder!"

Xiao Li simply took off his shoes, climbed onto the bed, raised his foot, and stomped hard twice on Lin Chen's back.

"puff--"

Lin Chen was so badly stomped on that he almost couldn't breathe. He groaned, his stomach churning, and he nearly vomited his dinner. He quickly turned his head and shouted:

"Stop! Stop! Get down! Get down!"

Xiao Li immediately stopped, looking at him with an innocent expression:

"What's wrong, Brother Chen? Didn't you tell me to use more force? Isn't it enough?"

Lin Chen propped himself up on his arms and sat up:

"I told you to use a little more force, not to stomp so hard. How much do you weigh? You're making my internal organs feel like they're about to shift."

"I only weigh a little over 90 pounds!"

Xiao Li blinked, looking a little aggrieved:

"What's wrong? Not enough? Brother Chen, if you still think it's too light, I'll jump around a couple of times?"

"No way!"

Lin Chen quickly waved his hand to stop her:

"Stop it, if you jump twice more, I'll stomp you to death."

He sighed inwardly, thinking that this girl was too reckless and had no sense of propriety in anything she did, and she was always too rough with her hands.

"Alright, alright, you don't need to press it anymore. Go back to your room and go to sleep, it's quite late."

"Oh……"

Xiao Li immediately wilted, head drooping, a little disappointed, and obediently got out of bed and put on his shoes.

He turned back to look at him as he walked to the door, and said earnestly:

"Brother Chen, if your back still aches tomorrow, I'll give you another massage! I'll be gentle!"

"Go on, go ahead." Lin Chen waved his hand, quickly sending her away.
