Chapter 596: Covered in Blood
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang Yue was expressionless.
Xue Yan didn’t show any expression.
“Hahaha!” Xue Erfu laughed even harder.
Liu Guixia saw it and laughed as well. It was rare to see their two precious children looking like street cats.
After helping Xue Da into the central room, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan went to the cooking shed and scooped some water to wash their faces.
On the table next to them, there was a large basin filled with red eggs.
Li Hehua had boiled the water. She was putting the red eggs into a basket. On such a day, every family in the village had to be given two red eggs to eat.
This was the custom here.
They still had people working in their new house, and they had to send them some red eggs to eat.
“If you guys want to eat, then take it yourself.” Li Hehua smiled at them when she saw that they had finished washing their faces and their fair and clean little faces were exposed.
Then, Li Hehua carried two big baskets of red eggs and went out to deliver them.
Jiang Yue was a little hungry, so she took a red egg, cracked it, and peeled the shell. Then, she took the white part of the egg and ate it slowly.
Xue Yan put the basin back and came back to see Jiang Yue already eating the eggs. He wasn’t hungry, but he wanted to eat an egg for good luck.
“Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, what are you doing? Come and see my son.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan weren’t in a hurry, but Xue Erfu in the central room was anxious and shouted.
He did not want his newborn son to be left out.
Liu Guixia and Xue Da couldn’t stop laughing.
Even in the room, Yu Hongyan, who was so tired that she didn’t want to say a word after giving birth, laughed silently.
Jiang Yue then wiped her hands and followed Xue Yan into the central room.
“Quickly look, quickly look.” Xue Erfu had become a father today, so his excitement was evident. It was rare for him to be as excited as Xue Wufu. As soon as he saw Jiang Yue and Xue Yan enter, he quickly bent over and showed the child in his arms to them.
The newborn baby was red and wrinkly. His eyes were closed and he looked a little ugly.
He didn’t cry or make a fuss. He seemed to have fallen asleep.
“Doesn’t he look like me? He does, right?” Xue Erfu asked excitedly.
Jiang Yue looked at Erfu’s face, which was a little distorted from the excitement of becoming a father. The baby was just born and was wrinkly, so she couldn’t tell how he looked like a baby at all. However, she still calmly cooperated and said, “Yes.”
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that there was also a plate of red eggs on the table next to them. There were still many red egg shells on the table. It was obvious that Xue Da and the rest had already eaten. She tiptoed, took another red egg, cracked it, and peeled the shell. Then, she stood there again and ate slowly and quietly, mouthful by mouthful.
Then, she found that Xue Yan seemed to be in a daze for a moment when she looked at the baby in the swaddling clothes.
He was probably thinking about her past life.
“Erfu, have you thought of the child’s name?” Xue Da, who was sitting beside the table, also picked up a red egg. He asked with a kind smile as he peeled it slowly and ate it.
“He has.” Liu Guixia answered. She smiled and said, “Xue Shi.”
Xue Shi…
Yes, it was Xue Shi…
Xue Yan’s fingers trembled.
In his previous life, the chief of the Supreme Court had invited him to a banquet. Coincidentally, Xue Shi, who was only nine years old at the time, and Erfu were present. Out of courtesy, the chief of the Supreme Court had also invited him and Erfu.
In the evening, Xue Shi and Erfu accompanied him to the banquet.
In the end, just as the banquet started, a large group of black-clothed people came to the house of the Supreme Court official. The house of the Supreme Court official was massacred, and not a single person in the family survived..
