After being jilted, the entire neighboring village was filled with deep regret.

Chapter 180 Su Tai is pregnant again

Doctor Li's brows immediately relaxed, and he placed his hand on Su Tai's pulse.

A few breaths felt incredibly long to Shen Yi, and he couldn't help but ask, "Dr. Li, what's wrong with my wife?"

Doctor Li released his grip, chuckling, "What could be wrong? It's good news! Your wife is pregnant! Her pulse looks fine, go home and take good care of herself."

Shen Yi was overjoyed and not only paid the consultation fee but also left some bread and cake for Doctor Li.

The couple came out of the clinic with happy faces, just as Xiong Kai and his wife, who lived nearby, saw them.

Mo Chunxiang suddenly felt that the pastries in her hand no longer tasted good.

Xiong Kai subtly pulled her away.

Shen Yi escorted Su Tai back to Dongmen Village and informed Han Shi and the others of the news.

Han was overjoyed, but then worried, "Xiaoyu will be a month earlier than Xiaotai, so I'll have to keep busy with both."

Sun Ying'er happened to be carrying her son over when she heard this and quickly said, "Auntie, don't worry. I can help when Xiaoyu finishes her confinement period. You just need to take care of Xiaotai."

She still lives with her child in the second wife's house. Although Su Chuan gave her a lot of money, she insists on giving money to Han Shi.

But Han refused to accept the money no matter what, and even prevented her from doing any work. She spent her days taking care of the children and never lifted a finger.

These days filled her with anxiety and unease.

If it weren't for the fact that her child was too young and it wasn't safe for a widow and her child to live on the other side, she would have moved there herself.

Now that she's finally got some work to do, she's determined not to let it slip by.

"That's acceptable." Madam Han breathed a sigh of relief and became even more affectionate towards Sun Ying'er.

After learning about this, Shen Yi specially sent Sun Ying'er and her son a lot of snacks and trinkets to express his gratitude.

After returning from Dongmen Village, the family of three resumed their regular lives.

The only difference was that Su Tai was pregnant, and Shen Yi wouldn't let her touch anything, only letting her play with Shen Yuezhang.

Shen Yuezhang, who is just over one year old, is very well cared for. He is chubby and very energetic. Since he learned to walk, he no longer allows himself to be carried and runs around the house all day long.

Their bedroom floor was covered with proper ceramic tiles. Every day before dawn, Shen Yi would take the mop that Su Tai bought from the hardware store, do a quick mop, and then let the child run around barefoot, not caring if she got dirty or bumped into anything.

But ever since the child went to Dongmen Village, he has been unwilling to stay in the bedroom.

Every day when I wake up, all I can think about is going out.

The backyard eaves were covered with broken tiles, and the yard was just covered with stones. Even adults would feel uncomfortable walking on them, let alone a little child like Shen Yuezhang. This was done to provide the child with a flat place to play.

Shen Yi made time to pave the entire backyard with red bricks.

By the time he finished his fuss, summer had quietly slipped away.

As August arrives, it's harvest time for the crops that Su Tai planted in her ten acres of fertile land in the Earth Time and Space.

After the last sugarcane harvest, she did not continue planting sugarcane, but instead planted cotton to replenish the fabric and quilts that had been used up, and to make some new cotton-padded coats for the whole family in the winter.

As for the old cotton-padded jackets, they can be sold cheaply to poor families in the village, or given away, so they won't go to waste.

After harvesting this batch of cotton, the gophers planted a new batch of sugarcane. The joy of the harvest made Su Tai radiant, and everything she saw made her happy.

The little girl, Shen Yuezhang, was playing with a small ball on the smooth red brick ground in the backyard. Seeing her beautiful mother smiling, she tilted her head and asked in confusion, "What are you smiling about, Mother?"

Su Tai looked at the little one in front of her in surprise, "Wow! My baby can already ask his mother questions! That's amazing!"

In her excitement, she immediately took out the pale yellow cotton cloth that had just been produced by the time-space transfer station and held it up against Shen Yuezhang's body.

Shen Yi had just returned when he saw Su Tai's actions. He subconsciously stopped, silently watching the mother and daughter, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Are you preparing a dress for Yue'er for the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"Mid-Autumn Festival?" Su Tai slapped her forehead, quite annoyed. "I had completely forgotten! Mid-Autumn Festival is almost here, it's time to prepare some things and make some money."

"Huh?" Shen Yi asked, puzzled.

Su Tai quickly ran back to her bedroom and soon came out with a small basket of mooncakes. "Look."

Shen Yi took the item out and found a delicate pastry the size of a baby's fist in the basket. The golden-brown, glossy crust emitted an enticing aroma.

"what is this?"

“Mooncake!” Su Tai said matter-of-factly, stuffing a mooncake into Shen Yi’s mouth. “Want to try it?”

Shen Yi chewed it carefully and nodded. "It's sweet and a little salty. What's that? It smells really good!"

Su Tai smiled and said, "The one you just ate was salted egg yolk and red bean paste flavored. We also have pure red bean paste flavored, jam flavored, like strawberry, blueberry, etc., as well as lotus seed paste flavored, and five-nut mooncakes."

Whatever you want.

I've got it all figured out. We'll sell mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival. You can deliver them yourself. Just tell everyone it's made by our family. Anyway, the guokui (a type of flatbread) is being made in the yard next door, and nobody's coming over here. Who would know if I've actually made mooncakes? Let's take this opportunity to make some more money.

"So I can save money for the child in my belly. If it's a son, I'll save for his betrothal gifts; if it's a daughter, I'll save for her dowry."

With another child, she had to work hard to earn money to prevent her family's living conditions from declining.

Shen Yi gave a helpless bitter laugh and let her do as she wished.

He then took the remaining mooncakes to Moshi Town to find Ma Xingteng.

Su Tai waited until her child was asleep before heading to Huoshikong Bakery to order a batch of mooncakes from the owner.

Cantonese-style mooncakes are suitable for the high-end market, while other mooncakes, such as those with five nuts or savory flavors with meat and mung bean filling, can be made larger and priced more affordable.

After placing the order, she made another trip to Shuishikong to set up shrimp and crab traps.

How can Mid-Autumn Festival be complete without crabs!
By the time she finished her work and came out, it was already quite dark. Judging by the time, Shen Yi should be back soon, so she hurriedly went to cook.

By the time the meal was ready, Shen Yi had arrived home.

"When I delivered the mooncakes today, Ma Xingteng went to the town official's house. I was in a hurry, so I went to find him. The town official's wife was very interested in our mooncakes. Before Ma Xingteng could say anything, she couldn't wait to take our order and said she would take as many as we had."

Ma Xingteng wasn't in a hurry at first, but his sister's antics made him panic. The two siblings started arguing in front of me, and eventually decided to order mooncakes from us. However, they had to be delivered by the tenth of August, since these mooncakes were rather special and would only be available until the sixteenth at most.

Shen Yi explained the situation in one breath.

Su Tai was a little puzzled, "Is the town magistrate's wife planning to steal business from her own brother? Aren't they supposed to have a very good relationship?"

Shen Yi chuckled, “The siblings do have a good relationship, but one thing is one thing. However, the town magistrate’s wife is not thinking of competing with her elder brother for business. From what I heard, she is thinking of selling mooncakes in the county town or even the prefectural city.”
