Accidentally entered a high gate

"Pfft!" Zheng Chunfang burst out laughing at Ma Lifeng's utterly devastated expression. "Don't worry, even if I have a child, I'll still cherish you. I'm going to cook."

After saying that, Zheng Chunfang hummed "Sailing the seas depends on the helmsman, and all things grow by the sun" and went to cook.

Ma Lifeng: "..." He's leaving already? His wife just had a baby and doesn't care about him anymore.

When Zheng Chunfang brought the cooked meal over, she saw Ma Lifeng looking at her with a mournful expression, like a wronged wife.

Zheng Chunfang: "..." She's already cooked dinner, and her husband still hasn't accepted it? "Well? After the baby is born, I'll have the baby love you with me."

"Hmph! I'm so worried and you don't even comfort me."

What's there to worry about? "I was wrong. I was just worried you'd be hungry."

"snort!"

What's with the humming? Her man has never gone hungry, which is why he thinks worrying is more important than eating. "Don't be angry."

"snort!"

Still not enough? "Shall I feed you?"

That's more or less.

Zheng Chunfang: "..." She's really going to let her feed him? Oh well, aside from his tendency to be clingy, her man is pretty good. Especially since he gave her all the family's money right after they got married.

Zheng Chunfang picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks and brought it to Ma Lifeng's lips.

After Ma Lifeng finished eating, he told her about Su Jingyu's plan for her to take over the business and her hope that she would repeat a junior high school year.

Zheng Chunfang could hardly believe her ears! "Mother wants me to take over her job?!"

Ma Lifeng grunted and took the bowl and chopsticks from Zheng Chunfang's hands.

"I'll feed you." Zheng Chunfang didn't know how to express her gratitude, so she just wanted to continue feeding Ma Lifeng.

"You're pregnant now." Although he really didn't want this child, his wife did. He decided it was best not to say he didn't want it. If he did, his wife would suspect that he married her just to legally have an affair.

Zheng Chunfang snatched the bowl back. "I want to feed you." She never dreamed she could work in Beijing.

"Okay." Ma Lifeng handed her the chopsticks. "Would you be willing to go back to junior high school?"

While feeding Ma Lifeng, Zheng Chunfang loudly replied, "I'm willing!" She's not stupid, is she?

Ma Lifeng swallowed the food in his mouth. "I knew you'd be willing. By the way, don't tell anyone. Not only am I good-looking, but I can also get you a job in Beijing. If you tell anyone, someone will definitely try to take me away. If someone else takes me away, you'll regret it to death."

"I won't tell anyone, not even if you kill me."

"And what about your grandparents and your parents?"

Before Ma Lifeng could finish speaking, Zheng Chunfang said, "Not to mention my grandparents and my parents. My grandfather likes to have a drink now and then, and I'm afraid he might accidentally tell someone after drinking."

"My grandma likes to chat with others, and I'm afraid she'll ramble on and on."

"My dad talks in his sleep. I'm afraid he'll tell people in his sleep when he goes to do voluntary labor with the rest of our brigade."

"My mother is quite tight-lipped."

"But it's not right to only tell my mom and not my grandparents and dad. My grandparents and dad love me very much."

Ma Lifeng didn't really want to tell Zheng Fugui and the others. "Then let's wait until you take over my mother's job before we talk to them."

"Okay. Do you prefer a boy or a girl?"

"Girls. Girls are thoughtful."

"If I really had a girl, what name would you like to give her?"

"Piggy".

"Zhuzhu sounds nice."

"The boar of wild boars."

Zheng Chunfang: "..." Her man not only loves to act cute, but also loves to joke.

"We were able to become husband and wife thanks to the wild boar."

You can't call it a pig! "My daughter would be angry if she knew the pig you're talking about is a wild boar."

If she gets angry, I'll try to appease her with candy.

Zheng Chunfang: "..." She decided to let her mother-in-law name the child. Her mother-in-law was cultured and wouldn't joke about a child's name. "I'll ask Jianhua tomorrow if he still has his elementary school textbooks. I want to review what I learned in elementary school."

"You should review it. But you should still go to the bookstore to buy it. First, even if Jianhua has his elementary school textbooks, they might not be complete. Second, if Jianhua asks you why you want his elementary school textbooks, you'll have to come up with an excuse."

That's true. "I'll go look at the junkyard first."

"Alright."

The next day, Su Jingyu saw her youngest son washing clothes as soon as she entered the door.

Su Jingyu looked up at the sky. "The sun didn't rise in the west, did it?"

Ma Lifeng glanced at his mother with a sullen expression. "I'm going to be a father."

"Pfft!" Su Jingyu laughed upon hearing this. "Wouldn't you call this a case of being too clever for your own good?"
