Chapter 29: Su Tang Never Loses an Argument!

“Is dinner ready?” Old Lady Mu asked.

Su Tang replied, “It’s ready.”

“Mm. We’ll eat when your father gets off work.” Old Lady Mu had no appetite and went back to her room.

The atmosphere was heavy. Could it be…?

As they were family, Su Tang asked, “Big Brother, is Sister-in-law alright?”

“Threatened miscarriage. The doctor told her to stay in bed and rest. If the bleeding stops, she’ll be fine. If it continues…”

Mu Jingyuan, a grown man, his eyes reddened.

This was their first child, after two years of marriage. A child he had longed for!

But because of his momentary indulgence, he couldn’t even tell the doctor the truth!

He only said that Li Lan had fallen while getting up at night.

Every time he thought about it, he wanted to slap himself.

“Big Brother, Sister-in-law will be fine,” Su Tang comforted him.

But Li Lan suddenly raised her head and angrily pointed at her, “It’s all your fault!”

Su Tang was bewildered, pointing at herself, “Me?”

“Alright, don’t say anymore,” Mu Jingyuan softly comforted her, carrying Li Lan back to the room.

Su Tang blinked, “I didn’t do anything! What does it have to do with me?”

“Ignore her,” Mu Jingzhou pulled Su Tang to the kitchen, “Let’s eat!”

“Third Brother, I really didn’t do anything,” Su Tang felt wronged.

Being unjustly accused was infuriating!

If she continued to comfort Li Lan, she’d be a fool!

“It’s Big Brother…” Mu Jingzhou whispered a few words in her ear, and Su Tang’s eyes widened in shock.

That was reckless!

Early pregnancy isn’t suitable for intercourse. Even if they couldn’t hold back, they should have been gentle and cautious.

They even used the doggy style position!

Su Tang recalled her previous statement, “I like it from the front and the back,” and felt speechless.

How could Li Lan blame her? It was clearly her own curiosity and lack of restraint that led to the bleeding.

However, they had been married for two years, and hadn’t tried rear entry?

They were the same age, Mu Jingzhou had so many positions…

“I’ve already ordered goat milk; I’ll pick it up after work. Do you need anything else?” Mu Jingzhou asked.

“No. I went to the county with Second Sister-in-law to buy pork fat at noon. We had to borrow the captain’s bicycle again; it’s such a hassle. It would be great if we had our own car,” Su Tang sighed.

Mu Jingzhou frowned, “House or car, which do you want first?”

“Huh?”

When did Su Tang mention a house?

“We can’t possibly live with the whole family here forever. After the family splits, we’ll build our own house.”

“!!!”

Su Tang never expected Mu Jingzhou to think so far ahead!

Did he really want to have their own home?

What about Shen Mingzhu? Did his white moonlight disappear?

“Wife?” Mu Jingzhou urged for an answer.

A bicycle cost 150 yuan, and building a house would cost at least 200 yuan.

They only had a few dozen yuan now, far from their goal.

Moreover, Su Tang’s real thought was: let’s make do for now, save money to buy a house in the county!

But she didn’t dare to say it.

After thinking for a while, she said, “We don’t have that much money now, let’s talk about it when we do!”

“Okay!”

After dinner, Mu Jingzhou went back to his room and took out a small object from his pocket, placing it under his pillow.

“What are you hiding?” Su Tang curiously leaned in.

Mu Jingzhou was a little embarrassed, mumbling, “You’ll know tonight.”

“What kind of secret needs to wait until tonight?” Su Tang pouted, then suddenly pointed to the window, “Third Brother, look!”

Mu Jingzhou turned sideways, and Su Tang jumped onto the bed and removed the pillow.

Uh…

Su Tang had a black line across her forehead.

It was a contraceptive device.

“Where did you get this?” Su Tang asked.

Mu Jingzhou’s handsome face flushed, leaning against the window, half-bowed, the light and shadow outlining his tall and slender figure.

“I saw Sister-in-law’s condition was serious, so I went to the family planning office to get this.”

After a pause, he added, “Second Brother got one too.”

Su Tang nodded, “Good! We’ll use this from now on.”

No pregnancy, no worries. When Shen Mingzhu returns, they’ll get a divorce.

If they had a child…

Su Tang shivered, subconsciously covering her abdomen.

She didn’t want to be pushed down a hill while pregnant! She didn’t want a miscarriage!

“If you don’t like…”

“I like it!”

Before Mu Jingzhou could finish, Su Tang replied, “We’ve just gotten married, we haven’t had enough fun yet!”

Mu Jingzhou’s eyes darkened.

She said they hadn’t had enough fun yet? Coincidentally, he felt the same.

Why wait? Let’s do it now…

“I’ll go wash the dishes, Third Brother, you should go to sleep!” Su Tang ran away.

Mu Jingzhou:………

Lying in bed, examining the new device, he was filled with curiosity.

Would this thing work? Would it affect the feeling?

Li Lan’s pregnancy was unstable, so even the chore of washing dishes was exempted.

Yu Miaomiao and Su Tang cooked and washed dishes together, harmoniously.

After cleaning the kitchen, an ox cart passed by the house.

Yu Miaomiao’s leg still couldn’t bear weight, and she was worried that it would be too tiring for Su Tang to carry her on the bicycle, so they both got on the ox cart.

“Oh, aren’t these the wives of the second and third sons? Are you going to town too?” Wang, the tailor, asked.

Su Tang looked at her new clothes, and remembered the white dress with green flowers she saw in the county yesterday.

Ready-made clothes were too expensive, making them herself would be much cheaper.

So, she asked, “Aunt Wang, can you make all kinds of clothes?”

“Of course! As long as I have a pattern, I can make it,” Wang, the tailor, proudly raised her chin.

Because of her skills, she was one of the first to become wealthy in Chahe Village.

“Do you want to make new clothes?” Wang, the tailor, shrewdly asked.

Mu’s third son’s wife was so beautiful, with a figure like a clothes rack. And she was lazy.

Such people usually loved to wear new clothes, she didn’t mind having another customer.

Everyone in the cart intentionally or unintentionally stared at Su Tang, waiting for her answer.

Yu Miaomiao subtly nudged Su Tang, and Su Tang smiled, “I just got married, I have enough clothes.”

“Then why did you ask?” Wang, the tailor, immediately turned her head arrogantly.

Anyone who couldn’t afford clothes was poor, she didn’t bother to associate with them.

“Third son’s wife, you just went to the county with the third son yesterday, why are you going again today?” Old Mrs. Sun asked.

“Because I’m free!” Su Tang answered crisply.

In the eyes of everyone else: Shameless! So lazy and yet not ashamed, instead proud of it.

Old Mrs. Sun and everyone in the cart were speechless.

Third Master Zhou had some relatives with the Mu family, said angrily, “Even young children know to go to the fields to work, earn more work points to eat more meat. Unlike some people, who are lazy and gluttonous.”

“Third Master Zhou, when you talk about us, just say it directly, no need for ‘some people’,” Su Tang said good-naturedly.

She had lived in the countryside with her grandmother when she was young, and had seen many fights, and was skilled in arguing.

When she went to the city to study, she was undefeated in arguments with her classmates. Yu Miaomiao had always admired her ability to retort, and that’s why they became friends.

When Third Master Zhou, heard her so arrogant, he became even more excited, “That’s right, I’m talking about you two! The Mu family must have had bad luck for eight generations to marry you two lazy bums!”

Everyone echoed, “That’s right, that’s right!”

Even those who didn’t want to get involved cast condemning glances.

The two new wives were weak and isolated.
