Country Love: Xie Dajiao, 37, is pregnant!

Lin Chen gave them a few more instructions, telling them to take their time packing and not to carry heavy things, before hanging up the phone.

"Little Li! Little Li!"

Xiao Li immediately opened the door and came closer, asking with a curious look:

"Hmm, hmm? What, sisters-in-law? Don't talk nonsense outside. My wife, Xie Xiaomei, is coming over for a visit. Can you drive?" Lin Chen put the car keys on the table.

"meeting!"

Xiao Li snatched the keys, his eyes lighting up:

"I already got my driver's license, don't worry, Brother Chen, I guarantee I'll bring your wife up safely!"

"OK."

Lin Chen nodded and instructed:

"Go down now, I'll tell you the villa's address. Drive carefully, don't rush, your sister-in-law is pregnant, it's okay to drive slowly."

"Mission accomplished!"

Xiao Li gave a crooked salute, clutched the keys, and skipped away, turning back to smile at him as she left.

"Brother Chen, you wait and see, I'll definitely make both of your wives very happy!"

Lin Chen waved helplessly at her, telling her to hurry up and go.

……

Following the address, Xiao Li drove Lin Chen's car and parked it in front of the villa.

She had just gotten out of the car and was still marveling at how beautiful and grand the villa was when she saw two people walking out, and she was immediately stunned.

The woman in front of her, Xie Xiaomei, was wearing a loose, off-white dress. Her hair was pulled back, and her belly was slightly protruding, but she wasn't bulky at all. She was 1.72 meters tall, and she looked gentle and poised, with a particularly good temperament.

Behind her was Chen Yannan, dressed in a casual outfit, with her hair tied in a high ponytail. She was 1.76 meters tall with incredibly long legs and was also very pretty, making her stand out.

Xiao Li was secretly amazed. She was 1.67 meters tall, which was not short among the girls in the village, and she was usually quite proud of it.

Standing in front of these two people, he was instantly dwarfed, completely overshadowed in every way.

Now she understood. No wonder Liu Da Nao said Lin Chen didn't like her. With their looks and figures, no one could find fault with either of them.

She was lost in thought, but didn't show it on her face. She immediately greeted him with a smile, her words very sweet:

"Hello, sister-in-law! I'm Li, Chen's secretary. Chen asked me to come down and pick you two up! Get in the car quickly, I'll drive slowly so you can be comfortable."

As he spoke, he reached out to take the bag from Chen Yannan's hand:

"I'll take it! I'll take it! How can I let my sisters carry things!"

Xie Xiaomei looked at her with a smile:

"Thank you for your trouble, Xiao Li, for making this special trip."

"No trouble at all!"

Xiao Li shook his head vigorously, like a rattle drum:

"It's my honor to be able to pick up both of you! Brother Chen always says you're beautiful and have great personalities, and now that I've seen you, you're even more beautiful than he described!"

One sentence made them both laugh.

Chen Yannan nudged Xie Xiaomei's arm:

"Look at this little girl, she's got such a sweet tongue."

Xiao Li quickly opened the car door and carefully helped Xie Xiaomei into the car:

"Sister Xiaomei, slow down and watch your step. You can sit in the back, it's spacious. This pretty lady can sit in the passenger seat. You have long legs, so you can stretch out and be comfortable."

After they were both seated, Xiao Li got into the car, started the engine, and slowly drove up the mountain.

He kept saying nice things to them throughout the journey, praising Xie Xiaomei's good temperament and then complimenting Chen Yannan's fair skin, making them both happy the whole time, and the car was particularly lively.

The car drove up the mountain road, and soon the gate of the resort came into view.

Xiao Li secretly sighed to herself, no wonder Brother Chen was so polite to her. Surrounded by such outstanding people, how could he possibly be interested in an ordinary one?

Wait a minute, I'm not ordinary either, I'm quite good-looking!

On the other side, Bigfoot Supermarket—

The shelves in the shop were neatly arranged. Xie Dajiao sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) tidying up her children's clothes, while Wang Yun wiped the glass counter outside. The two sisters chatted as they worked.

"You're one of them too. Xiaomei and the others went to the resort to soak in the hot springs, why didn't you go?"

Wang Yun straightened up and shook the rag:

"I'll keep an eye on the supermarket, so what are you afraid of if you go out and have fun for a day?"

Xie Dajiao said without even looking up:

"What's so great about hot springs? Can't you just soak in a bathtub at home? Besides, Jing'an is still young and needs constant care. It's much better for me to work at the store. With all the people coming and going, I know exactly what's happening in the village."

She looked up at Wang Yun:

"Perfect timing, since you're not leaving tonight, stay on the kang (heated brick bed) at the supermarket, and we sisters can have a good chat so you won't feel lonely at home."

"That's wonderful!"

Wang Yun said happily:

"Changgui has been on duty in town every day lately, so it's just me, Xiangxiu, and Daguo at home. It's boring staring at each other all the time. Other young couples are all lovey-dovey, and I feel like an outsider. I'll stay here tonight and we can chat!"

As the two were talking, Liu Neng, wearing a sun hat, trotted in, his face beaming with a wide smile that almost reached his ears.

Xie Dajiao put down the clothes she was holding and glanced at him sideways:

"Look at you, you cheeky little swallow, did you find some money on the street? Coming over to my house to spend some money?"

"What...what do you mean by 'spend'? I've brought you some good news!"

Liu Neng leaned against the counter, a smug look on his face:

"You know Liu Ying is pregnant, right? Zhao Si and I are very happy. I was thinking of throwing a pregnancy celebration to make it more lively, so I came to tell you both. Please come and support us."

"Give me a break."

Xie Dajiao smiled and waved her hand:

"What kind of celebration is this? Isn't it just a way to get everyone to give you gifts? Liu Neng, you really know how to stir things up. You're pregnant and you still want to throw a banquet. You're really obsessed with money."

"It's not about the money!"

Liu Neng hurriedly tried to explain, his words stammering:

"It's just...it's just for fun! Pregnancy is a big deal, shouldn't we celebrate? Besides, we're not accepting any expensive gifts, it's just for everyone to get together and have some fun."

"Who's having a wedding banquet while pregnant? Liu Neng, you're really something," Wang Yun casually remarked while wiping the glass.

Liu Neng was feeling smug, and without thinking, he blurted out:

"Hey, this isn't the first time! Besides, you...you still haven't heard from me, you don't understand how I feel..."

As soon as he said that, Wang Yun's face turned dark.

Liu Neng immediately realized he had said the wrong thing. Wang Yun and Chang Gui had been married for so long but still didn't have children. It was easy to explain Chang Gui's situation, since Xiang Xiu was already an adult. But Wang Yun had never had children, which was a sore point for her.

He quickly waved his hands to explain, but the more anxious he became, the more confused he got:

"Oh...oh dear! I wasn't talking about you! You were remarried...oh no! That's not what I meant! You were just living together for convenience...and you didn't want children..."

The more she tried to explain, the worse it got. Enraged, Wang Yun slammed the rag onto the counter and glared at him.

"Liu Neng, can't you speak properly! So what if you're remarried? So what if you're just living together? Who do you think you are?!"

"No, no! How could I dare look down on you!"

Liu Neng was so frightened that he took two steps back, realizing he had caused trouble, and quickly slipped towards the door.

"Well... I'm done chatting! I need to go tell other people! Remember to come and support them!"

After saying that, he turned and ran like a chased rabbit, almost crashing into the door frame.

"Who is this person?!"

Wang Yun was panting heavily:

"His mouth is like a cotton waistband, all sorts of things just spill out!"

Don't take it to heart.

Xie Dajiao quickly advised:

"He doesn't think before he speaks."

"Sis, you said before that Xiao Chen's idea was terrible, but I think Liu Neng needs to be taught a lesson!"

Wang Yun pointed to the telephone at the counter:

"Call Xiao Chen right now and tell him that Liu Neng has already started going door-to-door to notify everyone about the celebration. Make him stick to what we agreed on! If we don't teach him a lesson, he'll keep causing trouble!"

Xie Dajiao smiled and nodded, then picked up the landline and dialed Lin Chen's number.

The phone rang twice before connecting; it was a little noisy on Lin Chen's end.

Xie Dajiao recounted how Liu Neng had been publicizing the upcoming celebration, and concluded by saying:

"This old geezer's really getting cocky these days, you decide what to do."

"Okay, I understand."

Lin Chen responded with a smile:

"Don't worry, I'll make sure he gets all the glory."

"Mr. Lin, the food is ready and in the private room," a waiter announced from outside.

Lin Chen nodded, hung up the phone, put it in his pocket, carefully supported Xie Xiaomei's arm, and slowly walked towards the private room. Chen Yannan followed beside him, smiling and asking:

"What's he saying on the phone? Is Liu Neng really going to hold a celebration?"

"Yes, we've already started notifying each household."

Lin Chen smiled:

"Perfect, let him do whatever he wants, he'll regret it later."

As they were talking, they arrived at the door of the private room. Xiao Li was already waiting at the door. Seeing them coming, he quickly pushed open the door and called out crisply:

"Mr. Lin! Sister-in-law! Please come in!"
