Chapter 850: Threefold Happiness

Editor: Henyee Translations

“Qingning, I’m fine.” Shen Ruyue looked down at her hand where Chu Qingzhi was taking her pulse, silently praying for a miracle.

She and Xuhua had been married for several months, and by all accounts, should have been expecting a child by now, but her belly remained quiet. Could there be a problem with her health?

With that thought, her heart clenched in worry.

Chu Qingzhi’s eyes curved, “Congratulations, Ruyue, you’re also blessed. But it’s very early, only about twenty days or so.”

Shen Ruyue was stunned, staring blankly at Chu Qingzhi, “Really, truly blessed?”

Chu Qingzhi nodded affirmatively, “Truly.”

Chu Xuhua rushed over, crouching in front of Shen Ruyue, somewhat at a loss for words, “Ruyue, we’re also going to have a child.”

Shen Ruyue nodded, the child they had long awaited was finally on its way, “Xuhua, you’re going to be a father.”

“Yes, I’m going to be a father, and you’re going to be a mother.” Chu Xuhua gazed at Shen Ruyue tenderly, as if she were a treasure in his palm, “From now on, you don’t have to do anything. I’ll take care of everything… everything…”

Shen Ruyue nodded with a smile, “Okay, I’ll leave it all to you.”

Chu Qingning laughed, “Our family is blessed with double, no, triple happiness!”

Grandfather and Grandmother Chu hadn’t even cooled down from the joy of Chu Qingyue’s pregnancy when they heard about Shen Ruyue’s pregnancy. This was going to be their great-grandchild, and they were all smiles.

Grandmother Chu came over, placing her favorite bracelet on Shen Ruyue’s wrist, “Take good care of yourself and have a healthy child.”

Grandfather Chu also expressed his concern, “Leave the workshop matters to others. You just focus on nurturing your health at home.”

Shen Ruyue nodded with a smile, “I’ll start arranging that tomorrow.”

She would take the utmost care of the hard-won child.

Chu Qingning held Shen Ruyue’s hand, “I used to see you frowning all the time, and now I understand why.”

Shen Ruyue glanced at Chu Xuhua, “There are many women who can’t conceive for one reason or another. I was also worried I would be the same.”

Chu Qingning said, “As it turns out, you were worrying over nothing. Don’t overthink from now on. Just focus on taking care of yourself and give me a cute little nephew or niece.”

Shen Ruyue gently caressed her belly, her face filled with tenderness, “Okay.”

After settling Chu Qingyue, Li Qingyu came downstairs and found Chu Rong pacing at the staircase, curiously asking, “Chu Rong, what are you doing?”

Chu Rong, not very articulate at the best of times and now overwhelmed by excitement, struggled to speak, “You’re going to have a grandchild.”

“Grandchild?” Li Qingyu didn’t catch on immediately, “What grandchild?”

Chu Rong pointed towards the direction of the main hall, “Ruyue is blessed.”

“Ruyue is blessed…” Li Qingyu finally caught on, hurrying towards the main hall, “Ruyue.”

Shen Ruyue stood up, a bit shy, “Mother.”

“Sit, sit.” Li Qingyu treated Shen Ruyue as if she were a precious jewel, showing concern, “From now on, be extra careful in everything you do. The little one inside is not easy to deal with. You’ll have a hard year ahead, but don’t worry, I’ll take good care of you.”

“Thank you, mother.” Shen Ruyue was very grateful to Li Qingyu, who had cared for her like her own mother since her marriage, not putting any pressure on her even when she hadn’t become pregnant for several months. In another household, she might have been criticized long ago.

The Chu family’s happy events seemed to be happening one after another.

…

With a wedding feast in the house the next day, Chu Qingzhi called a few people to accompany her to the pond to catch fish and gather lotus roots.

Da Bai led the way, its fur thicker and fluffier for winter warmth, making it look even more majestic.

Da Lang and Er Lang, with their mates and children, guarded the surroundings and did not follow the commotion.

Although Chu Qingzhi only called a few people, many followed them to the pond, surrounding it upon arrival.

One challenge was the pond’s water, making it difficult to catch fish and gather lotus roots unless the water was drained. Otherwise, no one would dare to enter the water in winter.

Chu Mingyuan asked, “Qingzhi, what about the water?”

Chu Qingzhi replied, “I’ll catch the fish. You just help me carry them.” With that, she took a net and threw it into the water, catching three fish in one go.

The children cheered, “Sister Qingzhi is so amazing!”

Seeing this, Chu Mingyuan and the others admired her. If they tried to catch fish this way, they probably wouldn’t catch any.

Chu Qingzhi threw the fish onto the shore, and those who came to help picked up the fish and put them into buckets.

This was repeated…

With each catch, several fish were captured, none managing to escape her grasp.

After clearing the pond of all fish over three jin, Chu Qingzhi finished the task, unbeknownst to others. In total, there were more than a hundred fish, a dazzling sight.

Then came lotus root gathering. She grabbed the lotus roots’ dried leaves, extending her spiritual energy along the leaves, enveloping the roots, and pulled them out of the water intact.

Chu Mingyuan hurriedly took the lotus roots from her, “A girl with divine strength is indeed different.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and continued her task.

After a while, she had gathered all the roots, leaving none behind.

Chu Junbao’s eyes stuck on Chu Qingzhi’s hands, clapping, “Sister Qingzhi is the best at gathering lotus roots!”

Chu Xiaoyao echoed, “Sister Qingzhi is the best at everything.”

Surrounded by the children, the group returned home with their bounty, handing it over to those who came to help at the house.

With the wedding feast the next day, everything needed to be prepared in advance.

Now with nothing urgent, Chu Qingzhi headed towards the old house.

At the old house, they were slaughtering the second batch of pigs, for the wedding feast and for curing the second batch of bacon. All villagers from Chu Village were mobilized, bustling around.

People from the surrounding three villages also came, drawn by Chu Qingzhi’s brother’s wedding to share in the joy and strengthen ties.

Li Qingyu left the grocery store to the five children, focusing entirely on assisting two fully blessed ladies in decorating Chu Xujin’s bridal chamber…

The entire Chu Village was immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the wedding preparations.

Ge Lihua moved to Grandma Ge’s house, planning to stay there for the night. Now, she sat in front of the dressing table, quietly looking at herself.

Her beauty was flawless and cold. When not smiling, she seemed covered in a thin layer of frost. Qingzhi often said she was a beauty of cool elegance.

Xujin also said when she smiled, it was like ice melting, dazzling him every time.

Thinking this, she unconsciously smiled. Was she really beautiful?

Chu Qingyan entered the room, coming specially to accompany Ge Lihua. She stood behind Ge Lihua, admiring the beauty in the mirror, “Lihua sister, after tomorrow, you’ll also be my sister-in-law.”

She couldn’t help but marvel at Ge Lihua’s beauty. Her third brother was indeed lucky to marry such a beautiful woman.
