Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Zhao Zhongshuo left excitedly, at this time he couldn't let Mengjie get angry.

I'm going to have a son too. I must work hard in the future and make plans for my son's future.

After Zhao Zhongshuo left, Kong Mengjie couldn't fall asleep for a long time. To a girl brought up with traditional cultural education, she really thought of herself as a bad woman.

With her hand on her belly, she also couldn't be sure; if this child had nothing to do with Zhao Zhongshuo, it would be enormously delightful.

If this child was indeed his, then she would carry fear and guilt for a lifetime.

No matter how Huang Hongwei treated his wife and children, he was truly obedient and affectionate to her, and she could feel he genuinely loved her.

Actually, ever since she was pregnant with this child, she had been in constant conflict, always having the thought of not wanting this child. But she wasn't a heartless person; this is her child, and moreover, there were many uncertain factors involved.

The next day when she got up, she felt a bit lethargic, but she wasn't a delicate person, so she forced herself to perk up, cook for her daughter, and then send her to school.

When lunch came, she had just sat down after getting her meal when Zhao Zhongshuo came over and placed a lunchbox on her table.

"Here is some stewed meat, eat more."

Kong Mengjie didn't even lift her head. "Take it away, don't make things difficult for me, don't make me feel ashamed."

Zhao Zhongshuo felt quite uncomfortable hearing Kong Mengjie's calm words.

He now realized that this indeed wasn't good for Kong Mengjie, so he helplessly picked up the lunchbox and left.

Their interaction was already under people's attention, but there wasn't any gossip-worthy stuff, and they didn't hear what they were saying, so the matter was let go.

After work in the evening, Kong Mengjie held her daughter's hand. At the door, she met Zhao Zhongshuo once again.

"If you truly care for me, why do you keep pestering me like this? My husband isn't here, and you keep badgering me like this, how do you want others to see me?

Are you only satisfied if you drive me to death?"

Zhao Zhongshuo looked at his beloved woman stubbornly staring at him, saw the despairing expression in her tearful eyes, and turned away.

Wang Ailing happened to see this; she didn't hear what was said and didn't take it to heart, but Kong Mengjie noticed her.

"Ailing, what are you doing? Tiantian, call Auntie."

"Auntie."

"Good girl, Tiantian is so pretty, even prettier than your mom." Wang Ailing genuinely liked this little girl's looks.

Tiantian pursed her lips and smiled; she also enjoyed being praised for her beauty.

"Mengjie, I'm off to buy groceries, the family's waiting for dinner, I'm heading back, and the child's still with her dad."

Watching Wang Ailing's back, Kong Mengjie felt something was off, wondering if she overheard anything. Reflecting on what she just said, she felt reassured nothing was revealed.

"Mom."

"Tiantian, we're going home. Shall we eat at the canteen, or is there something you want to eat? Mommy will make it for you."

"Mom, let's go to the canteen. Don't tire yourself out, you're still carrying little brother."

Kong Mengjie affectionately rubbed her daughter's head, feeling comforted by her daughter's thoughtfulness.

Wang Ailing hurried home after work, hurrying to cook so as not to burden her parents-in-law. They really got along well, and the elderly couple truly liked this daughter-in-law.

"Ailing, you don't have to, you've worked all day, take care of that baby bump," her mother-in-law insisted on helping, since her daughter-in-law must be tired after a long day's work.

"Mom, I'm fine. It's not even two months yet; I'm feeling alright."

At night, the couple lay down under the covers, "I saw our village's Kong Mengjie talking to her former lover at their door today."

Because of the work, Chen Guoliang often overthought things. "Ailing, you should try to associate less with them."

"Hmm, we aren't exactly close, but being from the same village, it isn't possible to not speak when we meet. As for other things, it's just like that.

The three of us from the village: Xinyu is the office director, Kong Mengjie is now a team leader, and only I am still an ordinary worker." Wang Ailing sighed after saying this.

"Take it slow, I know your character, we just need to live our own lives well." Chen Guoliang comforted his wife. He was truly pleased with Wang Ailing. She was graceful and proper, filial to his parents, and treated him well. Where else could you find such a good wife?

"Haha, I was just sighing. I wonder how Xinyu is doing now? That girl would never suffer losses anywhere she goes."

"Indeed, your sister is a capable person. My colleague is still thinking about her."

"There's no use thinking about it, Xinyu has her stubborn mind. If she's not willing, no one can persuade her, she wasn't like this as a child.

It's better to tell your colleague to stop thinking about it, just live his own life. He won't get any response from her."

"I've told him many times, but he just insists on going his own way, not seeing any other matches introduced to him."

"There's nothing more we can do then. Guoliang, Xinyu isn't particularly beautiful, does your colleague have a problem with his eyesight?"

"Love makes the world blind, he just fancies her."

"That's true. Alright, let's hurry and sleep. I'm thinking of sacrificing my two-day monthly leave so I can take a longer break during maternity leave."

"Don't strain yourself and tire yourself out."

"How could I? I will be careful."

"Then I won't take any days off either, I'll discuss it with Dad and Mom tomorrow."

Meanwhile, Kong Demin was staring at his wife lying beside him who was avoiding him, feeling very angry inside.

Why was she avoiding him? He didn't mean to do anything initially, but seeing her like this, he grabbed her.

"Demin, I'm not feeling well," Gan Shuling shivered in fright. She was really afraid of him.

Previously, when she reluctantly dealt with him a few times, she couldn't get up for two days straight.

When she found out she was pregnant, she was ecstatic.

Due to her weak constitution, her parents didn't allow her to keep the child, but in order to escape from him, she decisively wanted this child.

After giving birth, she always felt powerless, and yet she couldn't bear it.

Kong Demin ignored her, didn't take off his clothes, and directly lay down. He paid no heed to his wife's fear.

After he finished, he ignored the woman beside him and turned to sleep.

Gan Shuling felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest, aching all over.

She didn't even have the strength to pull up the blanket.

She had been frail since her childhood, always alone, which made her particularly sensitive. She clearly knew her husband looked down on her, had no affection for her, yet she liked him. With her father around, he didn't dare do anything.
