599 Is what he said true?
In a small courtyard in Northern City.
Looking at the plain food on the table, Ge Chunying found it hard to swallow.
When will these days end?
Ge Chunru was also eating absentmindedly, while Ge Chunyi and Mdm Niu were scheming in their minds.
As they ate, Mdm Niu gave Ge Chunyi a look.
She put a piece of half-fat meat into her mouth and ran to the door to vomit.
Ge Chunyi immediately chased after her. “Are you having sickness from the pregnancy?”
Ge Chunru, who was still in a daze, heard this and immediately came back to her senses.
She stood up and walked to the door.
“Sickness from the pregnancy? Mdm Niu is pregnant?”
Ge Chunyi smiled and nodded. “Yes, she was not feeling well a few days ago. The doctor said that she was pregnant.”
Ge Chunru couldn’t help but show a happy expression. “That’s great.”
Although she hated and detested Mdm Niu, her younger brother wanted to be with her, so she had no choice.
Now that Mdm Niu was pregnant, it also meant that their Ge family had an heir. This made her look at Mdm Niu a little more pleasing to the eye.
Ge Chunying, who was sitting inside, frowned when she heard this.
Why did she have to get pregnant now, not earlier or later?
She had some doubts in her heart.
Why don’t we get the maidservant to invite a doctor over to take a look?
She added, “This is a good thing for the Ge family. We have to be careful.”
If Mdm Niu was pretending, then once she invited the doctor, she would be exposed.
Ge Chunru also felt that it would be more reassuring to invite the doctor over. “Okay.”
After that, she asked the maidservant to invite the doctor over.
What surprised Ge Chunyi was that neither Ge Chunyi nor Mdm Niu objected.
She had a bad feeling.
Because this location was close to the medical hall, the maidservant quickly invited a doctor over.
Mdm Niu was indeed more than a month pregnant.
Ge Chunru was completely at ease.
After the doctor left, Ge Chunying asked Ge Chunyi and Mdm Niu, “You guys knew about it a few days ago. Why didn’t you tell us?”
After she met those people during the day, she revealed her pregnancy that night.
She felt that it was not that simple.
Mdm Niu had already stopped vomiting. “We were just waiting for the fetus to stabilize to give you a surprise.”
She and Ge Chunyi had originally wanted to use her pregnancy to change the name of Ge Chunru’s remaining shop to Ge Chunyi.
However, they changed their minds.
After all, that shop was only worth three to four thousand taels of silver.
It was nothing compared to fifty thousand.
Ge Chunying wanted to sneer.
She wasn’t elated from the surprise, but was shocked. However, she did not say anything.
But Ge Chunru was elated. “You guys should have told me earlier.”
It was unusual for her to be so gracious to Mdm Niu.
“Tomorrow, I’ll ask the servant maids to buy some old hens for you to make soup.”
Mdm Niu was touched. “My elder sister is so nice. Thank you, elder sister!”
Ge Chunru was speechless.
She felt terrible every time Mdm Niu, who was older than her, called her elder sister.
However, this time she did not throw a tantrum like she usually did. “Take good care of your baby. Giving birth to the eldest grandson of our Ge family will be the best way to thank me.”
Mdm Niu didn’t know what to do.
After all, all the children she had in the Shi family were girls.
Moreover, the doctors had said in the past that it was not easy for her to get pregnant. This time, she was surprised to have a child.
“I think it might be a boy this time,” she said while touching her stomach.
In the past, Third Son Shi wasn’t the only one who wanted a son. She had dreamed of having a son as well.
Now, she naturally hoped that this child was a son.
After she finished speaking, she gave Ge Chunyi a look.
Ge Chunyi immediately looked worried and said, “Sigh, but this child came at the wrong time.”
Ge Chunru didn’t like to hear this. “What do you mean by coming at the wrong time? Don’t speak nonsense.”
Ge Chunyi sighed. “The gambling house will come to collect the debt in three days. How are we going to pay it back?”
...
A pained expression appeared on his face.
Rather than letting this child suffer with us, it’s better not to have him.
Mdm Niu also started to cry, “My poor son, you haven’t even been born yet, and your father doesn’t want you anymore.”
The two of them began to sing a duet.
The lips of Ge Chunying curled into a cold smile.
Ge Chunru was reminded of the gambling house.
She couldn’t help but hit Ge Chunyi’s arm a few times. “It’s all because of you, you bastard. I told you not to go to the gambling dens anymore, but you went again.
“Do you want to get us killed?”
Ge Chunyi quickly admitted his mistakes. “Sister, I was wrong. I will never do it again.
“I met a friend that time, and he insisted on dragging me along to make a comeback. I won’t hang out with them again.”
Then he made a promise to Ge Chunru, which finally calmed him down.
...
She sighed. “If it doesn’t work, then I can only sell in this courtyard and that shop.”
“If we sell the courtyard, where will we live?” Mdm Niu asked.
“What are we going to eat if we sell the shop?”
Then she put on a painful expression. “Why don’t I get a doctor to prescribe medicine to let go of this child?”
Ge Chunru’s expression changed. “No, the child must stay.”
Mdm Niu sighed. “But how are we going to feed him?”
Ge Chunying saw how the two of them reacted and guessed their purpose.
She threw her chopsticks aside and stood up. “I’m going back to my room to rest.”
How could Ge Chunyi let her go? “Little sister, do you really have the heart to see our Ge family without an heir?”
Ge Chunying looked at him coldly. “Of course, I hope that the Ge family will have an heir. So, you should keep the child and raise him well. Even if you’re poor, there are still poor ways to raise a child.”
Ge Chunyi secretly scolded his sister for being so heartless. “Little sister, this is the descendent of our Ge family. How can we raise him poorly?
“And if we sell the courtyard and the shop, we don’t even have a shelter for ourselves. How can we raise the child?”
“That’s all your fault. If you didn’t owe a gambling debt, how could you have caused everyone to lose their place to live?” Ge Chunying said.
Ge Chunyi’s face turned ugly.
He realized that this little sister was not as easy to please as his older sister.
“You’re a part of the family, so it’s time for you to put in some effort,” he said.
“What do you mean?” Ge Chunying asked.
“You’re so smart, you’ll definitely understand what I mean,” Ge Chunyi said.
“Go steal what those people want. That will solve all the problems.
“And didn’t you say that you wanted to avenge our sister?
“As long as you steal the defense deployment map, Xiao Yuanshi will probably be severely punished. This would be equivalent to taking revenge.
“Not only will we be able to pay off the gambling den’s debt, we will also have fifty thousand taels of silver.
“If it doesn’t work out, we will go to another place and start over with fifty thousand taels of silver.”
Ge Chunying knew that it would be like this.
She shook her head and refused. “I have no choice.”
When Mdm Niu returned, she had already inquired with her maidservants that Ge Chunying had been frequently going in and out of the deputy governor’soffice after hearing what Shi Qingluo said.
“How can you not have any solutions for this? You’ve been to the deputy governor’s office a lot recently, and you’re so close to Xiao Yuanshi now. It isn’t much to steal a defense map.” she said.
Ge Chunru was completely stunned when she heard this.
She looked at Ge Chunying, stunned. “Is what he said true?”
