Chapter 901 - Not Just One!

Chapter 901: Not Just One!

That’s right. Why did he have to look for trouble, get himself sick in the process, and cause everybody to panic?

“I get it now, Duo Er,” Ling said as he gently stroked his wife’s belly.

He really got it this time. He chose to live his life joyfully. He wanted to celebrate the happy moments with his children.

Liu Duo heaved a sigh of relief when he finally listened to reason and was no longer obsessed with the matter.

After all, every time he fell sick, he had to depend on medication to get better, but that meant his lifespan would decrease accordingly.

Talk about toxic medicine!

“Ling, you have had your breakfast, right? Get some rest. You look so pale, it’s frightening.”

Liu Duo let him lie down while she removed herself from the bed.

“Duo Er, let me help you with your hair first,” Ye Ling volunteered.

Liu Duo smiled and shook her head. “I can do it myself today. I’ll just go with a simple style. Ling, you should rest.”

He relented when she said so. He felt a little discomfort in his chest anyway, so he wanted some rest too.

From now on, he would take good care of his body and not fall sick again!

Liu Duo went back to getting herself ready after she made sure he had lain down on the bed. She simply tied her hair in a bun and used a jade hairpin to keep it in place. Then she put on her dress and headed downstairs.

There was not a single person in the yard. Hei Xiaomeng was at the entrance, sound asleep.

She went to the well to wash up before rushing to the kitchen for breakfast. “Aunt Li, have they gone to town?”

The night before, Ye Liu had managed to find time to tell her a bit about the trial.

“Yes, they set off some time ago.” Aunt Li kindly served her the meal previously heating on the stove. “Girl, you’re eating for two now. You can’t go hungry. Hurry up and eat.”

So she sat there to finish her food while her thoughts drifted to Ye Yang who was currently still hunting in the hills.

Among the villagers working in the fields, some women, in particular, would gather every so often to catch up on gossip.

“I heard that last night Ye Mo was in a rush to get Doctor Li. It seemed that Ye Ling fell sick again,” one woman started.

“Ye Ling fell sick again? What’s that about? Do tell,” said another woman.

As far as they knew, the Ye family was very wealthy now. Surely, they purchased the best medication for Ye Ling, so how could he fall sick so easily?

“Last night as I lay in bed, I heard Ye Mo’s loud, trumpet-like voice blasting down below, urgently calling for Doctor Li. Ye Ling’s definitely sick!”

“Oh dear, what a poor boy. He grew up with medicine.”

“Hey, their shared wife is pregnant, right? Think about it. The pregnancy was just announced and now Ye Ling fell sick. I’m telling you, this is ominous!”

The older generation used to say that new life in the family brings good luck, but it seemed that bad luck came to the Ye family instead.

Good deeds go unnoticed, but scandals spread fast. In a short time, word had gone around the village that Liu Duo was pregnant with a devil’s child…

And not just one!

Noon came soon enough. Liu Duo guessed that no more villagers were coming to sell their tomatoes, so she took her account book and went upstairs.

“Ling, you look better now that you’ve rested.” Liu Duo smiled as she came to sit by the bed.

Color had begun to return to his face. Ye Ling slowly sat up. “Indeed. The pills must be working.”

The uncomfortable feeling in his chest had disappeared, and his complexion had improved greatly.
