Chapter 45 Giving Birth to a Big, Chubby Boy
"Sister-in-law, are you up?"
It was Chu Shaoqing's voice.
"Get up, what's wrong?"
"Sister-in-law, did you oversleep today? I've been waiting for you all day, it's already past 3 pm, shall we still go to the shop?"
"?"
Mu Xiaowan was completely dumbfounded.
What exactly happened to her last night? She actually slept until 3 a.m.
This made the Chu family's impression even worse.
But her mind was blank; she had no memory of anything.
"I'm feeling a bit unwell, and I'm still half asleep."
Chu Shaoqing asked with concern, "Sister-in-law, are you feeling unwell? Do you need me to go to the hospital with you?"
"Don't go!"
"I'm going downstairs now. Call me if you need anything."
Mu Xiaowan sat on the edge of the bed, trying hard to think about what happened yesterday.
But she couldn't remember anything. It was precisely because she couldn't remember that she felt something was strange. How could she have lost her memory so inexplicably?
She paused for a moment before looking for her clothes. Looking at the red marks on her body that looked like mosquito bites, she felt a strange sense of incongruity when she imagined Chu Junbai doing this, since she had no memory of it.
She even suspected that Chu Junbai had deliberately let the wolf into the house, and that someone else had done it.
But Chu Junbai is not He Yongsheng; he would never do such a thing.
She looks just like a Dalmatian.
While washing up, Mu Xiaowan slapped her face in front of the mirror.
Given Chu Junbai's physical condition...
Just thinking about it makes my heart flutter.
I wonder if she slept or not?
Not everyone who has slept with this will experience pain.
If I slept with her, that's a real shame, I didn't feel anything...
Mu Xiaowan still felt unwell after washing up, so she decided not to go out like this.
It started snowing outside, and the roads were slippery. Given her disability, it was safer for her to stay home.
Chu Shaoqing did not see Mu Xiaowan.
I ran upstairs again.
Mu Xiaowan's face was pale and she looked listless.
He said, "Sister-in-law, why do you look so pale? Don't you really want me to go to the hospital with you?"
"No need, I'll be fine after a rest. I can't go out today, so go ahead and do what you need to do."
"My biggest priority right now is to get the shop up and running with you; nothing else matters."
Having grown up so much, Chu Shaoqing suddenly felt like he had found his purpose in life, so he was determined to strive for it.
"If you're free, go to that shop from last time and see if they have any watch parts. If they also have any decent broken watches, buy them for us."
Mu Xiaowan stood up, opened the wardrobe, and took out twenty yuan from her pocket.
"Take this money first. If there are any good watches but you don't have enough money, then we can go take a look together tomorrow."
Actually, Chu Shaoqing couldn't distinguish the material or judge the price; Mu Xiaowan just wanted to give him some experience. If it was something that could be bought for twenty yuan, even if it wasn't very good, the loss wouldn't be too great.
“Sister-in-law, my mom gave me some pocket money. Since it’s an investment for me, there’s no reason for me to spend your money anymore. I still owe you money for the tape recorder.”
"From now on, work for me. Don't worry about owing me anything. What your mom gave you is hers, what I give you is mine. Take it. Besides, I just wanted a watch. If you've packed it up, I'll take it."
Chu Shaoqing then took the money.
"Sister-in-law, you should buy a good watch so it will last a long time. These things are worth buying one at a time. If you buy a bad one, it won't keep accurate time, it will cause trouble, and it will be a waste of money."
"It's okay, what if we happen to meet someone good?"
Chu Shaoqing then took the money and left.
As soon as Chu Shaoqing left, Jiang Yinglan came upstairs.
"Mom!" Mu Xiaowan quickly threw off the covers and was about to get out of bed.
Jiang Yinglan saw that she was in bed and her complexion was not good.
She said, "Since you're not feeling well, then lie down. I haven't seen you all day, so I came up to check on you."
Mu Xiaowan's body was already weak, and having not eaten all day, she was extremely tired and didn't want to move at all.
"Did you catch a cold because of the changing weather? You're always running around outside, and your health isn't good. How can you keep going like this?"
Mu Xiaowan lowered her eyes, looking obedient and pitiful.
"Mom, this doesn't feel like a cold. My body feels inexplicably weak. I have no memory of what happened between when I got home last night and when I woke up."
Mu Xiaowan felt that this matter needed to be brought up.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
It felt like I'd been drugged.
Chu Junbai's behavior was also very unusual, and she suspected that they had both been drugged.
Chu Junbai was not present at the time, so there was no way to verify the information.
"I slept until three o'clock. Whether I was sick or not, it was impossible for me not to wake up in the middle of the night."
A hint of surprise appeared on Jiang Yinglan's elegant and dignified face.
What do you suspect?
"Without evidence, I can only infer that since I came back yesterday, my body has been acting strangely, and I've been doing things that I can't control towards Junbai."
She remembered what had happened before.
At first, her body felt hot, and she longed for Chu Junbai's touch. Later, she lost all her strength and fell to the ground. Then, she... she seemed to have forcibly kissed Chu Junbai.
After that, she remembered nothing.
Although she likes handsome men, she is a rational person, not an animal, and can control herself.
But she really couldn't control herself yesterday.
Chu Junbai did these things to her, probably because she had stirred up his anger. He's a normal man, and if he had been drugged as well, it would explain his actions even more.
Although she didn't explain it very clearly, Jiang Yinglan understood.
"You're both married now, so who's still worried about what?"
Mu Xiaowan couldn't understand it either.
Suddenly, she froze.
She recalled the conversation she overheard between Chu Shaoze and Bai Jiao'e the previous night.
Yesterday, when she and Chu Junbai returned, Bai Jiao'e stopped them at the stairwell and each gave them a bowl of soup.
Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.
"It's my second aunt. When Junbai and I came back last night, we drank the soup she gave us. Could it be that she knows that Junbai and I are sleeping in separate rooms?"
Upon hearing Mu Xiaowan's words, Jiang Yinglan gradually understood.
"It seems she's still up to no good. She wasn't satisfied with harming Junbai once; she's still not at ease even after getting married."
But what good does knowing about such things do? You can only suffer in silence.
Mu Xiaowan didn't understand.
"mom!"
"It's alright now. I'll have Aunt Zhang bring you some food later."
Jiang Yinglan is gone.
Not long after she went downstairs, Zhang Ma brought her a bowl of hand-pulled noodles with two poached eggs on top.
It seems that Jiang Yinglan cherishes her quite a bit.
Even if she felt sorry for her because of Chu Junbai, she still felt at ease.
After she had eaten and drunk her fill, Bai Jiao'e also came up to see her.
"Why haven't you gone downstairs all day? I heard from Aunt Zhang that you weren't feeling well. I even said you were just sleeping in. What's wrong?"
Seeing Mu Xiaowan's ravaged state, she couldn't hide the smile on her face.
"Thank you for your concern, Auntie. I don't know why I feel so weak. It seems this pigeon soup won't be able to nourish me."
Bai Jiao'e was such a shrewd old fox; how could she let Mu Xiaowan figure her out with just a few words?
"Since this soup isn't nourishing enough, let's make another one so you can give birth to a healthy baby boy for Junbai sooner."
“Oh, Junbai…” Mu Xiaowan looked sad, hesitating to speak, “Second Aunt…”
