Chapter 2271: Ashes



"Oh my goodness! I'm going to be a father! I'm going to have a child! That's great!" Tan Shi picked up Liu Cui and turned a few rounds happily.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Liu Cui punched Tan Shi's shoulder a few times and said, "I just got pregnant and it's not stable yet! Put me down! If I lose the child, it's all your fault!"

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Tan Shi carefully placed Liu Cui on the brick bed and half-squatted down, leaning his head against Liu Cui's stomach.

"The baby hasn't even taken shape yet. What are you listening to?" Liu Cui said as she looked at Tan Shi in disdain.

"I'm connecting with the child! I have telepathy with him!" Tan Shi said excitedly.

"You have to listen to me. Otherwise, I don't want this child and I don't want you either!" Liu Cui threatened.

Tan Shi raised his hand and made an oath. "I'll definitely listen to you in the future. I'll do all the dirty and tiring chores! Just stay at home and take care of the baby! I'll go out and find work tomorrow! I'll take on a few more jobs! I won't let you and the child suffer!"

If Tan Jing saw this scene, she would definitely think that Tan Shi had been possessed. The previously ignorant and incompetent Tan Shi actually showed care for his wife. It was simply a miracle.

During this period of time, Xia Wen had arranged for people to monitor Tan Jing's

movements. Qiao Mei was also busy with work. A week later, Qiao Mei received news from Yao Nian that Old Master Huang had died.

They even invited the funeral band to come along and make a big commotion, as if worried that the neighbors around could not hear them.

"Sigh... Why is there another family crying here again? How many times has it been already?" a neighbor, Auntie Zhou, said resignedly.

"Who knows. Which family is this? Are they at Qiao Mei's house?" another neighbor, Auntie Wang, asked.

Auntie Zhou nodded and said, "That's right. Qiao Mei's family is usually quite nice to us. Ever since they moved here, we don't even have to buy any fruits anymore!"

Qiao Mei would always bring back the dented fruits from the orchard and distribute them to the neighbors. Even though these fruits were a little damaged, they still tasted a thousand times better than the ones being sold in the market. Everyone was very grateful to Qiao Mei, especially those who had young children at home.

"Let's get everyone to go and take a look. Qiao Mei's husband is not at home. We can't let these assholes bully her." After Auntie Wang said that, she gathered together all the neighbors who were on good terms with Qiao Mei.

Qiao Mei had put on a windbreaker and was standing lazily at the door. It was not easy for her to fall asleep and get some rest, so she was in a really bad mood to be woken up.

"What are all of you doing here?" Da Zhuang said sulkily.

"Qiao Mei! A life for a life! My father is dead! You have to be buried together with my father!" Huang Zhong hugged Huang Kai's urn and cried loudly.

"As if your father is some kind of royalty and needs someone to be buried with him after he is dead. Is he really that powerful?" Qiao Mei questioned.

"How can you say that! My father is already dead and you still make fun of him! Don't you know what it means to respect the dead!" Huang Zhong said furiously.
