Being accused so openly, Huang Wei, of course, wouldn’t accept it: "Waaah, Liu Shouren, Liu Shuzhen, you’re spreading lies and slandering good people! I just returned to my mother’s home today, how would I know about that damned seed of yours? I just came over to see my nephew, the only male grandson of the Dai family..." Alright, upon hearing this, Liu Shouren immediately knew how those two slap marks on her face came about. His little sister values Lianshan, her husband, the most, and regrets the most that Lian En isn’t their biological child. To prevent the tragedy of raising someone with care only for them to end up not belonging, his little sister is exceptionally strict in educating Lian En because she insists he shows utmost respect to her husband, Lianshan. Now being called "big nephew" and "the only male grandson of the Dai family" by this wasted woman Huang Wei, she didn’t slap her to death probably only because she wasn’t strong enough! Sure enough, amidst his wandering thoughts, Shuzhen’s eyes were already cold enough to freeze: "Not had enough of a beating, have you? Still spewing nonsense! How many times have I told you, I am Lianshan’s wife, Lian En is our child, and has nothing to do with that damned Dai family! Your dear brother-in-law turned traitor like Chen Shimei, forsaking his wife and child for riches, and even offered me two hundred bucks to get a swift abortion. After doing such vile deeds, now you’re here claiming the child is yours, where’s your face?" "Wife, you’re just joking. He’s the kind of coward who would sell himself by the pound with no guts, where would he find face? Haha, they only worship money! I bet this second sister-in-law from the Dai family went to Beijing, hoping for a good life but didn’t get it, only to see how powerful our newly developed vegetable seeds are. Short-sighted people who get greedy for something they can’t reach, coming to steal or threaten under the guise of claiming a child. After all, the price of our new vegetable seeds is genuinely high! Otherwise, why would Dai Weiguo, supposedly ’married up’ into the Bai family, stay quiet, fearing that his true colors as a traitor would be exposed, embarrassing his wealthy father-in-law? Even if he borrows courage from the heavens, he wouldn’t dare to claim any son from our family!" Lianshan quickly supported Shuzhen, worried that her emotional agitation might harm herself or the child. Of course, when it came to the cause of her agitation, Huang Wei, Lianshan didn’t give her any leeway. Every word out of his mouth seemed poisoned, every sentence was sharp yet hit the nail on the head. Listening to Liu Shouren only added to the satisfaction, and he couldn’t help but chime in: "Hmm, exactly right. A spineless fool who climbed the social ladder by relying on connections, even if he had no descendants, he wouldn’t dare to claim a son not of the Bai family. Otherwise, if his father-in-law gets aggressive, hasn’t he worked hard for nothing to sleep his way to the top?" Alright, whether siblings or husband and wife, they were all venomous with their words. Their mouths could truly be used as poison. Yet this, even the militiamen called to watch were eagerly joining the banter! You say Dai Weiguo’s successful, the Bai family’s powerful? Haha, the hills are high and the emperor is far away, we still need to listen to Liu the elder! Because even if they patted Dai Weiguo and the Bai family’s backside swollen, they would gain nothing. But if they offended the Liu siblings, haha, let’s not even discuss how work and labor points would be distributed and calculated in the future. Just being excluded from current and future high-quality seeds for them and their families would be enough to get them beaten by their parents with a stick all over the street. Whatever Huang Wei argued or cried, the two ruthless militiamen resolutely carried out their task and took her to the empty warehouse of the brigade. In case she kept yelling and misled people, the duo cleverly stuffed her mouth with a rag. The filthy rag, with an unpleasant smell, disgusted Huang Wei greatly. After this incident, she utterly lost hope in joining forces with Shuzhen to fight against the others. Now she was racking her brains, thinking about how to get out of this damned warehouse and clear herself of the theft charges the Liu siblings and Lianshan had imposed on her. If not, muddled as she was, she could be wrongfully convicted. Forget about revenge, surviving might become a problem! While Huang Wei worried about the Liu siblings conspiring against her and fabricating charges to harm her, Shuzhen feared Huang Wei might not change after a minor punishment, still exposing Lian En’s existence to stab Bai Jing in the back. "Relax, leave this to big brother. He will surely solve it perfectly, making sure Huang Wei doesn’t dare even mutter a word. Don’t worry, let your brother-in-law take you to the city hospital for an ultrasound, to make sure everything’s alright. With the swing and dance, let’s not scare my darling niece!" Liu Shouren took out pen and paper, writing a recommendation letter for Lianshan with flair. Big brother advocated, her husband insisted, Shuzhen thought it over and agreed. Just as well, she was almost four months pregnant and hadn’t yet seriously gone to the hospital for a check-up, so an ultrasound would count as a prenatal examination. Later if the Huang or Dai families came asking, she’d have good reasons to fend them off. Not only did they attempt theft, but when discovered threatened violence on this expert’s pregnant woman causing her harm. Locking her away for a day or two to cool off is actually quite minor, rather humane punishment! If it were anywhere else, could a few pounds of grain cost a life, do you believe it? Happily sitting in the special seat lined with two or three layers of cushions in the back of Lianshan’s car, the couple drove smoothly to the city’s first hospital. As Shuzhen anticipated, the fetus was developing well, all was normal. The little bit that could be called a fright was actually of no concern, the focus was the doctor’s congratulations. "Congratulations to both comrades, this Comrade Liu Shuzhen is expecting twins!" Shuzhen blinked, thinking: Why is this doctor speaking clear Mandarin, yet she just couldn’t comprehend the message when it was combined? Twins, is that referring to her? With a puzzled face, Shuzhen glanced at her husband, who looked ecstatic like a simpleton. As for him, he was so delighted he jumped on the spot several times, babbling: "Oh my! Oh my! I told you your belly is much larger than when you were carrying Lian En. I thought it was good nutrition and wanted to discuss with Auntie whether we should cut back on your meals, to prevent overfeeding and risking a tough delivery. Haha, who would’ve thought you were carrying two little treasures in there! Oh my, my dear wife, you’re incredibly amazing..."
