Surprise! The rough husband is the hidden boss of the period literature

Chapter 398 Now I'm about to become a father, and you're still a bachelor.

As soon as Jiaohua arrived, she heard the village aunties gossiping about her and Jiang Xingye.

"That wild and savage energy of Xing Ye could keep Xu Zhiqing from getting out of bed for three days and three nights."

"Three days and three nights? I think it's been almost thirty days. I haven't seen Xu Zhiqing leave the house since they got married. He's probably on the kang (heated brick bed) all day long."

Zhou Guizhi was furious. "You foul-mouthed people, keep talking! If you say another word, I won't be polite!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Xu Qinghuan was caught in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat.

Lu Nianying looked up at her and saw that she really looked like a delicate flower. She yawned, a few tears welled up in the corner of her eyes, and wore a delicate straw hat. Her hair was braided and tied up, making her look like a jade sculpture in the sunlight.

"Huanhuan's here! What are you doing here? Go back and rest." Zhou Guizhi was startled and quickly went over, afraid that Huanhuan would be angry with these gossipy people. "Don't listen to these lousy women. They're all foul-mouthed bastards. Just ignore them."

Xu Qinghuan said, "I didn't hear anything."

Immediately, someone stood up to offer Xu Qinghuan a seat. "Come sit here. We're just drying the corn today, nothing much to do. Tomorrow we'll be harvesting corn, but we don't need anyone to help with that. Xingye wife, what brings you to work? Did the brigade leader assign you to this job?"

"No, I just came out to take a look." Xu Qinghuan sat on a small stool.

She listened to people chatting, and before long she was asleep.

Xie Zaohua saw this and nudged Zhou Guizhi, saying, "Look at her, isn't Xingye's wife pregnant?"

"Could she be sick?" He Xianglan asked, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Seeing that she could barely open her eyes, Zhou Guizhi quickly came over to help her. "Huanhuan, it's noon now. Go back and take a nap. Come back this afternoon. There's nothing else to do."

Xu Qinghuan stood up and followed Zhou Guizhi forward, still somewhat dazed.

When she got to the house, she went into the room, turned around and lay down on the bed.

Zhou Guizhi was a little worried and didn't know how to bring it up with her. "Although you are young, you still need to take better care of your health. Don't always give in to Xiao Wu. He's a scoundrel. You should put your own health first."

Xu Qinghuan also felt that feeling sleepy every day was a bit strange. Yesterday she had been a little too rough, and her lower abdomen was also a little uncomfortable. She was really worried that Jiang Xingye would make her suffer from kidney deficiency, which would be incredibly embarrassing.

She took her own pulse and found it was a bit off. She quickly sat up and repeated the pulse twice more. It was indeed like pearls rolling on a jade plate.

"Auntie, what's the date today?"

Zhou Guizhi thought the child was really a bit silly, "Today is August 23rd!"

Xu Qinghuan leaned against the headboard. Her period was always very regular, arriving precisely on the 5th or 6th of every month.

The news that Xu Qinghuan had fallen ill spread throughout the entire Shangjiang Brigade as soon as she left the threshing ground. Rumors flew that Jiang Xingye was too strong and that Xu Qinghuan's small body couldn't handle it, and that she could even fall asleep sitting in the threshing ground.

In the factory office, Jiang Xingye was having a meeting with several sales staff. The main topic was dealing with the autumn harvest, as they could only operate one shift a day and were worried about delaying deliveries and missing deadlines.

They discussed the current production tasks and delivery dates.

Luo Jinhao arrived a bit late. He dragged out a chair and sat down. "Old Jiang, what's wrong with your wife? I heard she's quite ill?"

Jiang Xingye's hand trembled, and a teacup of water fell to the ground. "What are you talking about? What happened to my wife?"

In the past, when others said Xu Qinghuan was his wife, he was happy, but he lacked confidence. Now he can say "my wife" with a clear conscience.

"Everyone says your wife is sick; she even fell asleep in the threshing ground. They also say you're too unrestrained!"

Jiang Xingye's face turned pale instantly. Without saying a word, he got up and ran outside.

The people inside looked at each other in bewilderment.

Chen Dewen said, "Old Luo, where did you hear this nonsense? Look how scared you've made Old Jiang."

Luo Jinhao was also bewildered. "I don't know. As soon as I got back, the whole brigade was talking about it. I thought Lao Jiang knew. Besides, Xu Zhiqing is a doctor herself, her medical skills are so excellent, what could possibly happen to her?" Even so, the group couldn't help but worry, and their desire to discuss the matter vanished. They decided to go check on her later.

Jiang Xingye was on tenterhooks the whole way, mainly because he himself felt guilty.

He finally got married after a long wait, and after experiencing that feeling, he found it even harder to resist.

It is said that eating the marrow means knowing the taste.

Who could resist sleeping with their wife in their arms every night?
Moreover, he was so full of youthful vigor that he wished they could be together all the time.

But if Xu Qinghuan is hurt, Jiang Xingye can make himself a eunuch.

If anything were to happen to her, he would never live on alone.

He tripped on the threshold as he entered the room and tumbled in. He scrambled into the house and heard Xu Qinghuan say, "Auntie, I'm fine. It has nothing to do with A-Ye. I'm just pregnant."

Since the two of them hadn't used any contraception, it was normal for her to get pregnant. Xu Qinghuan thought to herself that she could finally get a good night's sleep.

"Pregnant? You're pregnant?" Zhou Guizhi was both surprised and delighted. "Oh my, this is wonderful news! You're pregnant! Xiao Wu is going to be a father! That's great! I have to go tell your grandparents!"

Xu Qinghuan was a little confused by these rules. "It's only been a little over a month. Shouldn't we wait a bit? Isn't it supposed to be three months before we can announce it?"

That's how it's portrayed in TV dramas, and that's how it's written in novels.

“Oh dear, why are you being so particular? We won’t tell outsiders unless they ask, but our family should know. Have Xiao Wu call your dad and share the good news,” Zhou Guizhi said.

Zhou Guizhi was so happy she was practically dizzy. As soon as she stepped outside, she saw Jiang Xingye leaning against the door and froze, asking, "What are you doing?"

Jiang Xingye got up from the ground, patted himself off, and said, "No, it's nothing."

He almost bumped into the door frame when he entered.

When he arrived at the kang (a heated brick bed) and saw Xu Qinghuan, Jiang Xingye reached out to hug her, but he didn't dare. He just bent over, his face looking like he was both crying and laughing.

Xu Qinghuan planned to take a nap after Zhou Guizhi left, but Jiang Xingye came over. His presence was so strong that she opened her eyes and was startled when she saw him like this. "Aye, what's wrong?"

Jiang Xingye carefully held her in his arms, his broad hands resting on her lower abdomen, so moved he wanted to cry.

They have a child now, and their lives are now intertwined.

Jiang Xingye leaned down and placed a light, gentle kiss on Xu Qinghuan's lips, like lightly touching a delicate flower.

Xu Qinghuan knew he must have heard her, so she placed her hand on the back of his hand and said, "Aye, we have a child. You're a father now!"

"Mmm!" Jiang Xingye hugged her, burying his face in the crook of her shoulder, his voice heavy with nasal congestion.

After Zhou Guizhi left, the two embraced for a long time.

Xu Qinghuan ignored him; she was so sleepy that she fell asleep.

Jiang Xingye laid her down and covered her with a blanket.

In the courtyard, Qingxiao let out a soft sob. Jiang Xingye knew someone had come, so he went out.

Luo Jinhao stood at the door and saw Jiang Xingye coming over. He asked, "How is it? Is your wife alright?"

Jiang Xingye couldn't hide his smugness at this moment. He leaned against the gate frame and said, "Haozi, you're not getting any younger, are you?"

Luo Jinhao was a little confused. "What's wrong? Want to be my dad?"

"I was just saying. I'm younger than you, right? I got married earlier than you, and now I'm about to be a father, while you're still a bachelor." He sighed. "I'm only doing this for your own good. I'm afraid that by the time my child is old enough to run errands, your wife will still be nowhere to be found."
