Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Kong Demin's words were actually said out of spite. But it wasn't entirely that the thought hadn't crossed his mind.

"We're mother and son."

"I'm not your son, we're not blood-related.

After Shuling died, what other relationship do we have?"

Meng Xiu Fen understood this logic too. Thinking about her current needs, the fact that she would need care in later years, and Yu Jing, she nodded after ten minutes.

Kong Demin laughed, pleased with the arrangement, knowing that until he was fully independent, he wouldn't have to live a hard life. He took Meng Xiu Fen back to the room.

And so, they continued to live this way.

Until Gan Jiancheng returned and it stopped.

However, Meng Xiu Fen changed a lot, unintentionally started grooming herself, and smiled more often.

In the evening she refused her husband, "I'm not feeling well." Her heart was now filled with Kong Demin, leaving no room for her husband.

"What's wrong? Shall we go to the hospital tomorrow?"

"There's nothing worth checking. It's just that the weather is hot, I don't feel like moving."

"No, I'll take off work tomorrow and take you to the hospital for a check-up."

Meng Xiu Fen had no choice. The next morning after breakfast, "Deming, you take Yu Jing to school today, I'm taking your mom to the hospital, she says she's not feeling well and can't move."

"Alright, I'll head out now. Yu Jing, go pack your backpack."

How could that woman not be feeling well, she was full of energy when she was with me.

The couple arrived at the hospital, and Meng Xiu Fen wasn't sure what's wrong with her, "Doctor, I just don't feel like moving."

"Are you still having your periods?"

"Periods?"

"Yes."

Meng Xiu Fen thought about it, she hadn't had her periods since a week before Gan Jiancheng left, and she should be having her second cycle now by calculation.

She spoke of this, "I should have had my second cycle these days. But it hasn't come, and it didn't come last month either."

"Let me check your pulse. Have your menstrual cycle days and volume remained normal in the past?"

"It always comes every twenty-five days, lasts for four days, and the volume hasn't decreased. How did it suddenly stop? I completely forgot."

The doctor checked Meng Xiu Fen's pulse for a while, "It's not too obvious yet, but I suspect you're pregnant. You should have an ultrasound check."

Meng Xiu Fen was stunned, pregnant? Could she really conceive at forty-two?

Gan Jiancheng was ecstatic, "Xiao Fen, let's go for an ultrasound."

In a daze, Meng Xiu Fen was led for an ultrasound.

"Congratulations, this lady is indeed pregnant."

Gan Jiancheng was grinning ear to ear, his wife hadn't been pregnant again since the difficult birth of their daughter more than twenty years ago.

After their daughter's death, he didn't expect his wife to be pregnant again.

Meng Xiu Fen, however, was calculating. She and her husband only had one intimate night the day before he left. This child definitely wasn't his. If he could have another, it wouldn't have taken until now.

Then this child is Kong Demin's? If so, Kong Demin would have even more reason to stay.

Gan Jiancheng carefully escorted his wife out, "Xiao Fen, don't work anymore. Just stay home and care for the pregnancy."

"It's just two months, no need for that, I'd better go to work."

"No need. You're older now, and it was difficult when you gave birth to Shuling, we need to be more cautious this time."

"Let's go back and ask the doctor." Meng Xiu Fen was genuinely scared.

The two sought out the doctor again. "Doctor, I'm indeed pregnant, but I had a difficult birth with my first child, what precautions should I take with this one?"

"Exercise appropriately, eat nutritious food, but not too much, and keep a joyful mood."

"Doctor, shouldn't my wife take leave to rest at home?"

"That's not the best idea, I already mentioned, appropriate exercise is beneficial for labor.

Also, avoid intimate relations for the first three months, come back in three months."

The couple left the hospital, with Gan Jiancheng being extra cautious.

"It's fine, I'll keep working."

"Alright, we'll handle the cooking, you focus on the pregnancy."

"You cook? I asked Deming, he said he can't cook."

"No need for him, let him handle picking up and dropping off the child."

After arriving home, he settled his wife to rest, then immediately went to the supply and marketing cooperative, and also the black market, pulling strings to buy eggs and meat.

When Kong Demin returned with the child and saw Gan Jiancheng beaming as he cooked,

He brought the child into Meng Xiu Fen's room.

"Yu Jing, here are some rice candies, sit down and eat a few."

"Grandma, you're the best."

Kong Demin sat on the bed edge and asked, "What's going on?"

"I'm two months pregnant, this child is yours." Meng Xiu Fen leaned in to whisper to him.

"Mine?"

"Yes, my period was gone before he left, we only had one brief moment, it couldn't be his."

Kong Demin's mind raced. He also believed the child was his.

This situation wasn't too bad, someone would be there to care for the child. No need to worry about calculating the family inheritance.

"Okay, take care of yourself."

"I will, the doctor has already advised me. You'll be responsible for dropping off and picking up the child from now on."

"So we can't, from now on, right?"

"After three months, it's okay."

"That's good, I'll tidy up my place. We'll go there from now on."

The two spoke freely, relying on Yu Jing's young age.

"Alright."

Suddenly footsteps approached, Gan Jiancheng came in. "Time to eat. Yu Jing, stop eating, grandpa cooked eggs and meat."

"Hooray!"

"Xiao Fen, should I bring you the food?"

"No need, I'll come down to eat."

The next day, the three of them took Yu Jing to school together, then went to work together.

To outsiders, their family seemed to have a very good relationship.

Gan Jiancheng, because of his wife's pregnancy, always had a smile on his face, everything appeared pleasing.

The father-in-law and son-in-law had lunch together, "Deming, your mom's pregnant, so from now on you'll handle picking up Yu Jing, I'll cook, let your mom rest.

She had a difficult birth with Shuling when she was in her teens. Now she's over forty, I'm worried about her."

"Okay. I'll take care of house chores, even learn to cook."

"Haha, no need, I'll cook. We'll ensure we take good care of your mom."

Kong Demin nodded, thinking that it was his son, how could he not take good care of him?

"Deming, don't worry, whether your mom has a boy or a girl, in future my inheritance will be split equally between you all."

"Dad, I don't want it, just leave it to the child."

"No, it must include you. Our family will live well, life will be particularly good."

Kong Demin understood his intention, wanting him not to leave and to stay.

For now, he definitely wouldn't leave. "Yes, I'll do my best."
