Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Gan Jiancheng really promoted Kong Demin to be the deputy captain of the law enforcement team a week later.

Though many were dissatisfied, they dared not voice their anger. After all, he was the director's son-in-law.

Kong Demin's salary increased too. Wisely, he kept only ten yuan for himself and gave the remaining thirty-two to Meng Xiu Fen when he returned home.

Gan Jiancheng was even more pleased seeing him act this way. If he continued like this, he really felt sincere toward him.

In the blazing August, Kong Mengjie found postpartum confinement uncomfortable, and Huang Hongwei felt even more heartache for her. Whenever he came home, he would definitely fan his wife.

"Hongwei, you go to sleep, I can do it myself."

"It's okay, I'm not tired. It's too hot during the day for you to sleep, but it's cooler in the evening. You should sleep."

"You've worked all day, you must be tired, don't fan me anymore, I'm fine."

Huang Hongwei smiled as he looked at their son under the moonlight.

"Mengjie, this child will definitely grow up not to look like me, but like you. He'll be a handsome man in the future."

Every time Huang Hongwei talked about the child, Kong Mengjie never responded. This time was no different. She didn't know what to say.

She now hoped the most that this child really looked like her so it wouldn't hurt Huang Hongwei, right?

The days Jiang Xinyu and her family of three were living were much better than theirs. Wei Kaiyun had prepared an electric fan early on, and the three of them slept soundly at night.

His wife's belly was already eight months along; they could only watch but not move. However, he was still willing.

"Wife, is Xiao Er going to be born in September or October?"

"At the end of September, I guess. I can only go to school for half a month."

"Why don't you just go ahead and not go, with such hot weather and so many students? Just thinking about it feels uncomfortable."

"It's alright, definitely more comfortable than in the workshop.

Wei Kaiyun, do you think the baby is a boy or a girl?"

"Either is good. If it's a boy, the brothers will have company. If it's a girl, even better, we'll have both a son and a daughter."

"I actually want a girl. Aunt Bai said there's a high chance this baby will be a girl."

"She said the same to me; I also like girls. Can pamper them without worry, but boys have to be strictly disciplined."

"That's differential treatment; men and women should be the same."

"I don't want my daughter to suffer. Our family's girl must be pampered."

Jiang Xinyu didn't argue with Wei Kaiyun's perspective. In fact, boys and girls both require attention. In her previous life as a private tutor, there was a girl.

Though she seemed delicate, she was actually very fierce. When she fought, she wouldn't stop until others were beaten to plead for mercy.

Her parents were helpless, they could only keep her at home, hiring one-on-one tutors for lessons.

This child looked very well-behaved and could absorb lessons; just don't look at her with an odd gaze.

At that time, she was teaching her math and personally saw her beat up her previous physics teacher during class.

Her parents were worried sick for her. However, the two of them got along well; she never mocked her and would occasionally share personal topics.

Thinking of nurturing her daughter into that kind of girl, Jiang Xinyu shuddered. But having fighting skills is quite good for a girl, she wouldn't be bullied.

"Wei Kaiyun, when you go back, find a martial arts teacher for Shi Jing."

"Would you be willing?"

"Am I the kind of mom who's irrationally indulgent of her child? I know what's good for him."

"Alright, I do happen to know someone, I'll call him tomorrow to come by and look after Shi Jing. You'll feel assured.

But this person is physically disabled, you wouldn't mind, would you?"

"How could I? Would you harm the child? I trust you. If you choose, it must be reliable."

"Alright, I'll have him come by soon. So when I leave, I'll be at ease."

"Ha, what is there not to be at ease about? I'm just an ordinary person. What abilities do I have to make enemies with others?"

Wei Kaiyun just smiled, he truly wasn't at ease with her and the two children alone here.

"Wife, you've suffered."

"It's alright, as long as you understand. But even if you don't treat us well, it won't matter; we can live just fine."

"Haha, if I'm not good to you, who else would I be good to? You three are my everything."

"That's more like it. I'm telling you for real, no one can predict the future clearly. I'm just assuming; even if you really leave us one day, I won't cling onto you and harass you."

"Why are you talking about this today?"

"Just came up."

"That day will never come, rest assured."

"Hmm, I just want to make sure you understand my point. I can't put on a clingy act."

"I'm the one who will be clingy and harassing you."

The next day, Wei Kaiyun took them to the post office to get Shi Jing's master over.

"Didn't you say you'd wait till you got back to get the master? Why did you bring him now?"

"Need to prepare in advance, and let you get familiar while I'm here; especially Shi Jing. Once familiar with the master, no matter about academics or martial arts, there'll be no problem in the future."

"OK, up to you." Actually, Jiang Xinyu didn't overthink it, she just wanted to find a teacher for the child.

"Wei Kaiyun, if Xiao Er turns out to be a girl, can this master teach?"

"My daughter won't suffer that kind of hardship."

"Really? I'm mainly finding someone for the daughter; girls with skills won't be bullied, so we'll be less worried when they're not around us."

"Obviously not, my daughter won't endure that hardship. Absolutely not."

Jiang Xinyu looked at the fussy Wei Kaiyun and wondered what's up with him. Well, they'll think about it once the child is born.

The couple was already having differences in their child's future education; there would surely be more in the future.

However, her daughter must have the ability to defend herself. At that time, she envied those girls who knew Taekwondo and Kickboxing; they looked cool.

"Wife, our daughter should be raised like a princess."

"Can you be with her for life? Once she can take care of herself, she can do whatever she wants. After marrying, she won't be bullied."

"Who dares?"

Jiang Xinyu chuckled at Wei Kaiyun's fierce expression. There's no daughter yet, and he's already like this. If they do have one, he'll be a doting father.

Wei Kaiyun imagined if anyone dared to try and court his daughter, he'd surely break their leg.

Whoever had ideas about his daughter was his enemy.

"Alright, what are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking Shi Jing must get good at martial arts, so if anyone covets my daughter, have her brother trouble them."
