Reborn in the 1980s: Nine Stunning Beauties Get Pregnant Before Marriage

"Don't do anything reckless, they are respectable girls," Chen Yongqiang reminded Liang Meie.

Actually, winning over the introverted and shy Qin Lijuan might be a bit difficult.

But Chen Yongqiang was 90% confident that he could win over Qin Liping, who already had feelings for him, and he didn't need Liang Meie's help at all.

"You mean... I'm not serious?" Liang Meie punched his chest.

"How could that be?" Chen Yongqiang laughed as he hugged her tighter and lowered his head to find her lips again.

The movement of the two people under the tree caused a few withered leaves to fall from the old tree.

Chen Yongqiang had an inexplicable feeling towards the woman in his arms.

Liang Meie is open-minded and knows how to flirt. She can always make him feel a pure, masculine pleasure at unexpected times.

Nearly an hour later, Liang Meie finally managed to tidy her disheveled clothes and hair in the dim light.

"Go back now, there's no need to see me off any further. If you go any further, my in-laws might see you and start nagging you endlessly."

Chen Yongqiang also noticed; whenever he passed by Liang Meie's house, her father-in-law's gaze always seemed a little off. "Have your in-laws found out about our relationship?"

"So what if they find out?" Liang Meie was even somewhat indifferent.

"Anyway, I've already made my stance clear: if they dare to say anything that upsets me, I'll take my children and leave Shimen Village. Let's see who's afraid of whom then."

Chen Yongqiang didn't escort her any further. He used his flashlight to illuminate the path ahead for her before turning back.

Chen Yongqiang returned to the makeshift thatched hut and pushed open the door to go inside.

Then I saw the Qin sisters and Lin Xiulian, the three women, squeezed together on one bed, sharing a quilt, watching the program on the black and white television with great interest.

"Brother Yongqiang, are you going to rest? The TV show won't be over for a while." Qin Liping was still reluctant to leave because she was watching the exciting part.

"It's alright, you guys see," Chen Yongqiang said, picking up the thermos on the table, pouring himself a glass of water, and sitting down on the stool next to him.

After a while, the ending theme of the TV series started playing, and the two sisters reluctantly crawled out of their warm bed.

"Brother Yongqiang, we're going back!" Qin Liping said goodbye and left hand in hand with her sister.

"Be careful on the road," Chen Yongqiang called out to the door and then closed it.

Only the young couple remained in the room. Chen Yongqiang took off his coat and got into bed; the warmth and faint fragrance left by the Qin sisters still lingered in the blankets.

As soon as Chen Yongqiang lay down, Lin Xiulian turned to her side and gently nestled into his arms: "I'm heavily pregnant now, so I can't really help with building the house..."

"If you take good care of yourself and give birth to your child safely, that will be the biggest help you can give. There are plenty of people willing to work." Chen Yongqiang was willing to pay in cash, and the food on the construction site was good, so there were plenty of people willing to work there.

"The two girls from the Qin family are quite diligent, busy helping with cooking every day. When the time comes, please give them a generous wage and don't mistreat them," Lin Xiulian said softly.

"I'll make arrangements." Chen Yongqiang had actually given Qin Liping quite a bit of pocket money in private.

Lin Xiulian continued softly, "I have to go see Dr. Ding tomorrow. She told me I need to go for regular checkups."

"I can just call her over to my house, you don't need to make the trip." Given Chen Yongqiang's relationship with Ding Wanru, it's just a matter of a word.

The young couple whispered for a while longer before turning off the lights and going to sleep.

The construction site became lively early the next morning. In addition to the villagers who came to help build the houses, many others came to watch the excitement.

Yang Dahai squeezed through the crowd and walked up to Chen Yongqiang, who was displaying a leopard skin: "Yongqiang, I heard you killed that snow leopard that injured someone last night?"

"Yeah, I went out hunting rabbits last night and just happened to run into them at the foot of the mountain." Chen Yongqiang patted the leopard skin that had been stretched open.

"Good, good, good!" Yang Dahai said repeatedly.

A look of relief appeared on his face. "That's good. The villagers can finally go to the fields without worrying anymore."

The young men who were present last night have now become the focus of everyone's attention, and they have begun to boast vividly about their feat of eating leopard meat last night.

The villagers who hadn't gotten to try it were eager to hear about it and kept asking curiously, "What does it taste like?"

"How does it compare to pork?"

Seeing this, Zhao Fugen tapped the pipe in his hand and shouted, "Everyone, disperse! What kind of behavior is this, standing around like this! Go do what you're supposed to be doing, let's get to work!"

The villagers who had come to watch the spectacle gradually dispersed and went about their own business.

The villagers who stayed behind to help with the work also picked up their tools, and the clanging and clattering sounds of labor filled the construction site once again.

After arranging things at the construction site, Chen Yongqiang turned and walked towards Ding Wanru's house.

This place has almost become his second home, where he often meets with Ding Wanru in secret.

Ding Wanru was a little surprised to see Chen Yongqiang arrive so early. "A villager is coming to see a doctor later, so I have to finish my work before I can spend time with you..."

Chen Yongqiang knew she had misunderstood: "I came here to ask you to come over so that Xiulian can have her checked out."

"Oh, I see... I'll come over when I'm done with my work." Ding Wanru felt a little disappointed.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a villager clutching his stomach walked in through the courtyard gate: "Dr. Ding...please take a look at me quickly."

Seeing that a patient had arrived, Chen Yongqiang decided not to linger. He greeted Ding Wanru and then turned and left the courtyard.

Not far from the homestead, Chen Yongqiang spotted He Jun's figure in the distance, sneaking around near the shed where materials were stored.

Chen Yongqiang guessed that He Jun had probably heard about the snow leopard and wanted to see it for himself, since he had almost been bitten to death by the beast before.

However, Chen Yongqiang and he had never gotten along, so he didn't bother to call him over to take a look. He pretended not to see anything and walked towards the construction site.

Upon arriving at the construction site, Zhao Fugen greeted him and instructed, "Qiangzi, we're running out of sand. You'll need to go and haul a few more truckloads back."

"I'll go get it right away," Chen Yongqiang replied, turned around, started the tractor, called over a few young men, and drove back towards the river.

Not long after Chen Yongqiang left, Ding Wanru arrived at the thatched hut carrying her medicine box.

She examined Lin Xiulian, took her blood pressure, listened to the fetal heartbeat, and asked about her daily condition. Finally, she smiled and said:

"The pregnancy is very stable and the baby is growing well, so just relax and take care of yourself, and don't overwork yourself."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiulian smiled with relief and repeatedly thanked Ding Wanru, holding her hand.

"Thank you for making the special trip. With you overseeing things, I feel much more at ease."

Ding Wanru didn't see Chen Yongqiang in the house, so she didn't linger. She picked up her medicine box and prepared to leave: "Then I'll go back first. If you need anything, just let Yongqiang call me anytime."

"There's something else I want to ask you!" Lin Xiulian called out to Ding Wanru, who was turning to leave.
