Chapter 143: Chapter 142: Sharing Good News and Giving Warnings

"It’s nothing, just saw someone planning to harm my family, so I thought I could remind them when I make a call later." Gu Jia Ning said simply.

"Alright." Since it involved Gu Jia Ning’s secret, Sheng Zexi didn’t ask further.

After breakfast, the couple went to the communication center, and soon they dialed the village committee’s phone in Huaihua Village.

-

In Huaihua Village, the pregnant Yang Manman was seeing off her husband, Gu Yunting, who was going to work.

Yang Manman was five months pregnant by now.

"You go inside, I’m off to work." Gu Yunting waved his hand and then rode his bicycle towards the county.

It wasn’t until she saw her husband’s figure disappear from view that Yang Manman turned to go back inside, only to see her father-in-law, Old Man Gu, rushing over.

"Old Yao’s daughter-in-law, tell your mother and the rest of the family, Ningning called, hurry to the village committee to answer the phone."

Her sister-in-law called?!

Yang Manman’s face lit up, "Ah, okay, I’ll go notify them right away."

It wasn’t long before the Gu Family members, except for Gu Yunting who had already gone to work, Yao Chunhua who was doing housework, Su Miao with the children, and the already working brothers Gu Yunan and Gu Yunzhou, all arrived at the village committee.

There was only this one phone in Huaihua Village, and every time Gu Jia Ning called, the entire Gu Family would come to listen if they were home.

The first to answer the phone was, of course, the head of the house, Yao Chunhua.

As soon as Yao Chunhua answered her daughter’s call, her eyes reddened. Her daughter had been in the Northwest Military Region for almost half a year, and she missed her dearly.

As soon as she got on the phone, she immediately inquired with concern whether Gu Jia Ning had enough to eat and wear, how things were in the Northwest Military Region, whether she was bullied, and if Sheng Zexi was treating her well...

Every word was a mother’s concern for her daughter married far away.

"Mom, don’t worry, I’m doing great, Brother Xi is very good to me."

"I’m perfectly fine, really. I’m fed and clothed well, you and Dad, and my brothers and sisters-in-law, take good care of yourselves too."

"We will, we are all doing well."

"Mom, the reason I’m calling today is to share some good news with you."

"What good news is that?"

"Mom, I’m pregnant, already three months in. It’s twins, you and Dad are going to be grandparents, and my brothers and sisters-in-law are going to be uncles and aunts."

"What! You’re pregnant, and with twins!" Shocked, Yao Chunhua couldn’t contain her voice, suddenly speaking loudly, and the other Gu Family members heard it.

After exchanging glances, it turned into a joyous celebration.

Ningning/little sister is pregnant, and with twins, that’s wonderful!

Yao Chunhua was even moved to tears of joy, "It’s wonderful, it’s wonderful."

Her voice had a slight sob in it. Back then, when she let Gu Jia Ning marry Sheng Zexi, Yao Chunhua was ninety percent satisfied. The only dissatisfaction was Sheng Zexi’s infertility.

Sheng Zexi mentioned it when proposing.

Later, it was Ningning who said she had a way to cure Sheng Zexi’s condition, and seeing that Sheng Zexi was indeed excellent, Yao Chunhua finally agreed to let her daughter marry him.

After they got married, Yao Chunhua’s biggest hope was that Ningning could quickly cure Sheng Zexi’s condition so she could have a child.

No matter how open-minded Yao Chunhua was, she knew that in these times, her daughter’s life would be more assured with a child, whether it’s a boy or a girl. Of course, if it were a boy, or they could have more than one child, it would be even better.

She had been hoping for it, but dared not ask.

She never expected that suddenly, Ningning would tell her this good news; the children were already three months along.

Yao Chunhua didn’t blame Gu Jia Ning for telling her only when it was three months in because she knew the first three months of a woman’s pregnancy were unstable, and it was only when it stabilized that they would tell others.

Twin is great too; two children at once, but...

"Ningning, having twins at once, you must be working hard." As a mother who also carried a child, she knew the challenges of pregnancy, especially as Ningning was carrying two children and was also quite delicate.

"Ningning, how about your mom going to the Northwest Military Region to take care of you?" Yao Chunhua asked.

The more she thought about it, the more it made sense.

After all, Ningning’s mother-in-law had passed away; they couldn’t ask Sheng Zexi’s grandmother to take care of her, could they? The elderly were also getting on in years.

It would be more suitable for her mother to take care of her.

"Mom, no need for now. I’m feeling alright, no need for special care. If you want to come over, just wait until I’m almost due, then you can come over. By that time, you should be done with taking care of the eldest sister-in-law after her childbirth."

With Gu Jia Ning’s words, Yao Chunhua realized.

Right, her eldest daughter-in-law was pregnant, and when she gave birth, she, as the mother-in-law, also had to help with her recovery.

Yao Chunhua did the math; the eldest daughter-in-law was now five months pregnant, and she would give birth in five months. Ningning was three months pregnant now, so by then, she’d be eight months along. By the time she finished taking care of Manman’s postpartum recovery, Ningning would be nine months in. Generally, twins are born early, so Ningning would probably be due soon, and she could go over then, just in time to help Ningning with her recovery; it would be a bit rushed.

But that’s the best she could do.

Although Yao Chunhua wanted to take care of her daughter as soon as possible, she couldn’t neglect her eldest daughter-in-law since Manman was also bearing children for the Old Gu Family.

"Alright, it’s settled then."

"By the way, have you called Xiao Xi’s grandparents to share the joy?" Yao Chunhua asked.

"I’ll call them next."

"Okay."

Then Old Gu and the other Gu Family members also stepped forward to chat a bit, and Gu Jia Ning also mentioned about becoming a doctor in the military hospital, which made the family happy for her. Subsequently, Gu Jia Ning didn’t forget another important matter.

Finally, it was Gu Yunzhou who took over the call, and she asked, "Third Brother, do you know the situation with Wen Zhqing and Bao Shanyan?"

When Gu Yunzhou heard this from his little sister, his expression turned a bit peculiar.

"Little sister, why are you asking about this? You’ve already married your brother-in-law and are expecting, don’t tell me you’re still not over Wen Zhqing, that pretty face? Could it be that brother-in-law isn’t around you right now?"

Even though the person on the other end was his beloved little sister, Gu Yunzhou felt that some things against morality shouldn’t be done.

Gu Jia Ning felt both amused and exasperated, and seeing Sheng Zexi beside her, the name Wen Zhqing was like a trigger word. Hearing it made his nerves tense, making him look at her with a hint of grievance.

Of course, Sheng Zexi trusted Gu Jia Ning. He could feel that her love for him was growing stronger.

But Wen Zhqing, if counted, was Ningning’s first love, and he seemed to have heard that most people have a special feeling for their first love. Does that mean the first love is special?

Now that Ningning mentioned Wen Zhqing, what was she planning?

Gu Jia Ning read the meaning in Sheng Zexi’s eyes and was exasperated. If it weren’t for being on a call, she would have liked to shake his shoulders and say, ’I mentioned both Wen Zhqing and Bao Shanyan, so why are you all only focusing on Wen Zhqing and forgetting Bao Shanyan?’
