Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 132 - 133: Pregnancy Confirmation
Chapter 132: Chapter 133: Pregnancy Confirmation
The next morning, Xu Ying got up early, after all, this was not her own home where she could sleep until whenever she wanted.
When she woke up, Mother Zhao was already cooking in the kitchen, still concerned about last night’s matter.
She had been holding it in, feeling uncomfortable inside, and had forced herself to stay awake until late at night before falling asleep.
“Yingying, you’re awake,” said Mother Zhao, who knew the girl Yingying spoke of the night before. “Shubo just got engaged recently, didn’t he? His fiancée’s sister is Cheng Yinglan.
What do you want with her?” Mother Zhao, with dark circles under her eyes, looked curiously at her with eyes as clear as glass, silly like a giant panda.
Xu Ying held back her laughter, stumped by Mother Zhao’s question.
...
She didn’t even know the girl, how could she have any business with her, it was just for a task, but others didn’t know that.
Indeed, three hundred yuan was not easy to earn.
She suddenly thought of Zhang Qiuling from the Youth Corps, who was from around here, and quickly said, “I heard one of the female Educated Youths from our village mention her, and just wanted to ask around.”
Hearing this, Mother Zhao didn’t think too much of it, let out an “Oh,” and hurried back into the kitchen, her porridge almost boiling over completely.
Xu Ying returned to her room and opened the system, immediately noticing several new lines added in the task bar.
Below was the introduction to Cheng Yinglan, who in her previous life had also been implicated by her.
After her family fell into hard times in her last life, Eldest Sister-in-law Xu had sought help from her maternal home.
Mother Zhao pitied her daughter and kept helping her, but the avenger was not satisfied and felt that their family deserved to be ruined, so he went directly to Mother Zhao’s house for revenge.
The intention was to destroy the Zhao family, but it ended up involving Cheng Yinglan, dragging her into the scandal and leading her to take her own life due to disgrace.
Xu Ying grew furious with teeth gritted upon reading the introduction, thinking the person deserved to have never returned to the city for harboring such resentment towards their family, wondering who it could be.
Could it be that without Dong Wenzhong and Chen Yanran returning, this person would have been certain to go back?
Xu Ying tried hard to narrow down the possibilities, and if her father hadn’t been there to help, the person who could have made it back on their own merits was probably only Gu Yanfang from the Youth Corps.
She came from a good family background with some connections, and she too was forced to the countryside by the political situation, but her family was now certain to be able to pull strings to get her back.
But it shouldn’t be her, this girl was also crazy about love, having bravely joined the countryside for the man she loved.
Now, having made it work with the man, she had settled down in the village and was leading a good life, it couldn’t be her.
Nor should it have been Zhang Qiuling, who had a fondness for Xu Da’s second brother, a fact Xu Ying had inadvertently discovered in her past life, with the two of them apparently having got married.
There weren’t many Educated Youths in their village, and those who could go back had done so.
The rest were those without influence or were unnoticed at home, and some had poor family circumstances.
After much thought, Xu Ying couldn’t figure out who it could be, so she’d have to observe slowly after going back.
After breakfast, Mother Zhao took Eldest Sister-in-law Xu to the hospital for a check-up, and sure enough, she was pregnant.
Upon hearing this news, Mother Zhao was both happy and joyful, and Eldest Sister-in-law Xu was also full of surprise and delight, planning to go back and surprise her man.
By the time the two of them returned, Xu Ying had already started preparing dinner. Mr. Zhao had killed a duck before going to work in the morning.
Xu Ying now took the duck and divided it into two halves: one half she intended to make into beer duck, and the other half she planned to stew into a soup.
Her sister-in-law was pregnant now and had to avoid certain foods.
Beer duck was definitely out of the question, so Xu Ying made her a sour cabbage and crucian carp soup, having noticed in the morning that her sister-in-law preferred sour foods.
“Oh, this smells so good!” exclaimed Mother Zhao, who hadn’t even entered yet, as she took a deep breath in surprise.
As she walked into the courtyard, someone said with a laugh, “Sister-in-law, what delicious food is your family making? It smells so good.”
Eldest Sister-in-law Xu, smelling the fragrance in the air, instantly felt hungry despite not having an appetite before.
“It must be Yingying who made it, Mom, let’s hurry back, I’m getting hungry,” Eldest Sister-in-law Xu couldn’t wait and rushed back home.

Following behind, Mother Zhao, sensing the delicious aroma, no longer doubted Xu Ying’s cooking skills.
At noon, Xu Ying’s culinary abilities received unanimous praise from everyone.
Mother Zhao was now even fonder of Xu Ying, adding another virtue to her list: she was a great cook.
That afternoon, Xu Ying and Eldest Sister-in-law Xu took the car back home.
As soon as they arrived, the news of Eldest Sister-in-law Xu’s pregnancy spread throughout the household.
Mrs. Xu, upon hearing the news, wasn’t particularly overjoyed as she had a daughter of her own to care for her in old age.
Grandchildren weren’t that important to her.
Apart from Xu, who was most delighted, Mr. Xu was also thrilled. A new addition to the family was a good sign of a thriving family.
Another piece of good news came through: Mr. Xu had been praised by the leaders and even received a certificate of merit, which pleased him greatly.
Mrs. Xu, seeing him like this, couldn’t help but scorn, “It wasn’t like this when you first started being investigated.”
On the day Xu Ying left, the higher-ups arrived.
Who knows which bastard had written a denunciation letter to the leaders.
It alleged Mr. Xu had embezzled,
and at the time, the situation was quite serious, leading to an actual investigation by officials from above.
Mr. Xu was furious and let them search openly, but they found absolutely nothing.
Xu Ying laughed when she heard this,
but things hadn’t escalated so quickly back then, as it was right after Dong Wenzhong had returned to the city.
However, after she was reborn, she had moved everything to her “space.”
Mrs. Xu now referred to that person with a stomach full of fire, as he was too ruthless, simply unable to see their family prosper.
Speaking of this, Mrs. Xu curled her lips with a hint of curiosity looking at her daughter, “Daughter, how did you think to tell your dad to inspect the dam?
I’ll tell you, when your dad went to check, he actually found something wrong. If it weren’t promptly repaired, it could have led to a disaster. Still, the dam needs some serious repair.”
“I guess it was just a fluke. The leaders visit the countryside to inspect whether the villagers are living well and the village crops are thriving.
The dam is critical for protecting the village and the lands; it definitely needed a closer look.”
Hearing Xu Ying say this, Mrs. Xu’s curiosity was satisfied. Her daughter was clever and thoughtful indeed.
In rural areas, the dam is indeed vital, protecting against soil erosion and crop flooding and resisting the impact of water flow. In case of floods, it provides certain protection and can also guard against drought, making it extremely useful.
The dam could also be used for fish farming, providing villagers with the occasional treat, the uses were truly extensive.
“This time Xu Jiangmin is going to be unlucky. Previously, he was the one always arranging dam inspections, and coincidentally, the inspectors were his brothers.
Who knows how they inspected normally, if not for your dad’s checking this time, a major incident would have occurred. The leader said outright that he would be punished,” Mrs. Xu said with evident satisfaction.
Don’t think she didn’t know; that young man had wild ambitions, dying to see her man unlucky so he could snatch the team leader’s position.
