After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

Chapter 257 Xu is pregnant with a son

Liu Shiying's laughter stopped abruptly, but Shen Zuxiong was a fool and had no scheming mind. He turned around and showed the corn and peppers to Shen Jizu.

"Look, this is it, big brother. Lin Ting gave it to me. You can also go and get it. Plant corn and peppers and sell them for money."

When he heard that it was Lin Ting who gave it to him, Shen Jizu raised his chin with a look of disdain.

"Humph! You're just raking in the fields. I thought you'd found gold. What's so great about that?"

Brother Shen Zu slowly lowered his raised hand. He didn't have any special abilities, so it was already good enough for him to get these.

"Brother, you may not think highly of these, but they are treasures to me. In the future, I may need to rely on these things to marry off my two sons."

Liu Shiying also put her hands on her hips. Shen Jizu and Xu looked down on them, and she also looked down on Shen Jizu.

Day after day, he still needs a woman to accompany him when he studies. He is almost fifty years old, but he still dreams of becoming an official.

"That's right, maybe next year my brother Zhuang will be able to find a wife, so my elder brother and his wife should go back to school.

By the way, you two don’t farm either. I’ll go talk to your aunt and ask her to give us her two acres of land to farm this year.”

Last year's fields were all planted by Shen Dali. After the family split up, Shen Jizu no longer cared about those two acres of land.

He would ask others to harvest the rice for him, and then give some to others.

Later, he had to sell books and pay compensation to the people of Wushan Village, so he had no choice but to sell the two acres of land under his name.

If Shen's mother had not insisted on following him, he would have been able to use Shen's mother's two acres of land. Otherwise, he would have no land to grow rice.

"Ms. Liu, how can you be so cruel? My stepfather and I own the two acres of land. My mother-in-law lives with us now, and I've been taking care of her the whole time.

Even if we don't farm, we can rent out the two acres of land to others. Also, you have a son, and you keep talking about doing this and that for your son.

Shen Jizu and I are still alive, and you are planning to take over my mother-in-law's two acres of land. You are trying to wipe out the whole family."

As Xu spoke, she started crying. After Shen Rou died, she cried at every turn, even when Shen's mother gave her a bad look. Liu Shiying was so annoyed with her.

"Sister-in-law, we don't mean to eat you and wipe out your family. You're just overthinking it. Besides, mother-in-law's food and drink are yours, but I can't control her defecation and urination. It's not too much to ask you to cultivate her land for a year."

Although they also lived in old Shen's house, Liu Shiying did not completely ignore Shen's mother. After Shen's mother was poisoned by Shen Jizu, she had been lying in bed and unable to get up.

Liu Shiying still took care of her the same way, and even changed her clothes and so on. Compared with the person who poisoned her, Liu Shiying felt that she was very good in front of Shen's mother.

"You... I'm telling you, Liu Shiying, it's impossible for you to cultivate your mother-in-law's land..."

Xu had a bad temper and pointed fingers at Liu Shiying and Shen Zhuxiong's family with a fierce tone.

After warning them, she suddenly covered her chest and vomited into the yard, but nothing came out and her face turned red from retching.

"Ma'am, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

Shen Jizu stood behind her, his face twisted with a hint of disgust.

Liu Shiying approached, his eyes flickering between Xu's body. She retched for quite a while before stopping. She had been in a bad mood recently, and her face was sallow. Could it be...

"Sister-in-law, you...you are not pregnant, are you?"

This sentence made everyone's attention focus on Mrs. Xu. She was already in her forties. Could it be that God took pity on her and let her have a child again?

Shen Jizu raised the corner of his mouth and immediately stepped forward to support Xu.

"Is this true? Madam, how long has it been since you last had your period?"

Xu's heart beat faster. She thought about it and realized that she seemed to have not had her period for two months. She was so old, and she thought that this was because she had stopped having her period. She never thought about being pregnant.

"I came here two months ago, but I wasn't sure if I was pregnant. I just felt very tired and wanted to sleep."

Shen Rou died and the couple had no children. If Xu was really pregnant again, and if it was a boy, Shen Jizu would feel happy just thinking about it.

"Hahahaha...my wife, please wait at home. I'll go find a doctor for you. Hahahaha..."

Shen Jizu helped Xu back to her room and asked her to wait at home. He ran out to find a doctor, laughing as he ran.

Liu Shiying pulled Shen Zuxiong back to his house, his eyes still looking towards the main courtyard.

"Brother Shen Zhu, this can't be true, right? My sister-in-law is so old. I heard that giving birth at this age is particularly dangerous."

"Oh, why think so much? Big brother doesn't have any children now. If big sister-in-law is really pregnant, it's a good thing."

Liu Shiying didn't think so, but she always felt uneasy in her heart, as if something was about to happen.

An hour later, Shen Jizu came back with a rented ox cart and pulled an old doctor over from the cart. When Liu Shiying saw this, he also went up to the main house to see what was going on.

"Doctor, please take a look at my wife. She's feeling very unwell. Please take a look..."

Shen Jizu was very anxious. He had the best of everything at home in his life, but luck was not on his side.

Now, he only hopes that Xu is really lucky this time and does not leave him without a successor.

The old doctor took Mrs. Xu's pulse before he could even breathe properly. The pulse was smooth, but not fluent.

"How is it, doctor? How is my wife?"

Shen Jizu did not tell the old doctor that Xu might be pregnant. If she was really pregnant, the doctor would definitely be able to tell.

When Shen Jizu asked this question, Xu, who was lying down, half sat up and waited anxiously for the doctor's answer.

"Don't be impatient. Stretch out that hand and let me see it."

Mrs. Xu stretched out both hands, and the old doctor took her pulse with both hands at the same time, his face serious.

"It's a pregnancy pulse. This lady is one month pregnant."

In an instant, Shen Jizu and Xu both wanted to jump up, their faces full of smiles and excitement.

Mrs. Xu even touched her belly. She didn't expect that she would have a child of her own at the end of her life. This must be her blessing.

Shen Jizu even stood in front of the old doctor and asked, "Doctor, with your medical skills, can you tell whether this child is a boy or a girl?"

In fact, no matter the gender, for Shen Jizu, it is enough to be a child, but in his heart, he hopes it is a boy.

"Oh, it's a boy..."

"That's great, ma'am, did you hear that? The doctor said it's a boy, a boy. We're going to have a son soon."

Shen Jizu didn't let the doctor finish his words and interrupted him, which made the old doctor look very unhappy.

Xu also had tears in her eyes. She held Shen Jizu's slightly wrinkled hand and cried with joy.
