  Lang returned to the Yu family's house with all the gifts token she has received without pocketing one cent, she was so grateful to the Yu family that she couldn't even bring herself to sneak even one red packet out of the pile that she was carrying if this would have been someone else, they would have certainly done so —— while she was walking towards the Yu family's house, she met with Aunt Wang and Uncle Fu who were returning from their daily walk.

  Uncle Fu could no longer hide his pregnancy, though he received a good deal of criticism from the villagers, who called him shameless under their breath for getting pregnant at such an advanced age but Uncle Fu didn't let it get to him. After all, his wife was fulfilling her promise of never taking another mer as her husband, the promise was something that they have made when they were young and naive. Even if she had broken it, he wouldn't have gotten angry at her at all, he knew the life of a mer, knew that he was bound to tackle several mers and was even prepared to do so but ——


  ——But his wife took their promise to her heart and never married another mer, so how can he not fulfil his duty by giving her a lot of descendants? So, what if he was called shameless, compared to those who had thirty or so mers in their house and spent their nights with a different mer each night, he was still better.

  At least he was spending his nights with only one woman!

  " Watch your steps, you are now in your sixth month what if you stumble?" Aunt Wang didn't let go of Uncle Fu's hand not for even one second yet she kept warning him for every single step that he took.

  Uncle Fu smiled at her panic-stricken expression, honestly, just for the sake of seeing this expression on her boorish wife it was well worth getting pregnant and walking through the gates of hell. He patted the back of her hand and somewhat calmly said, " I know that you will hold me every time, I stumble. I have great faith in you, my wife."

  Aunt Wang pouted her lips as a gentle blush coated her cheeks, huffing as she looked around. " Don't say nonsense, if someone hears you, they will call you shameless."

  " Pfft, are you still upset that I stopped you from hitting the son in law of the Bai family? He is like a decade younger than us, you shouldn't let him get to your head——-"

  " He is a decade younger but sure as hell knows to run his scissors sharp tongue where ever and however he wants, shouldn't he be ready to be punched. And I don't care if he bitches about his father in law every now and then how dare he call you shameless? I should have smacked that stupid face of his but you wouldn't let me do that." Aunt Wang was still sulking, she was furious enough to hear a young mer name-calling her husband yet she had to act magnanimous and let that mer go just because he apologized.

  This young generation has seriously looked for a nice word, at first they will be the ones who will sling mud on the older generation but when they get in trouble they will say only one word 'sorry' and then act like they were the one who was being wronged.

  How ridiculous.

  " Alright, alright, don't be so upset," Uncle Fu tried to calm his wife down but then his gaze fell on Lang who was carrying a bunch of things in her hands, even a huge pickle jar. Seeing her like this, he hurriedly patted his wife's shoulder and pointed at her, " Isn't that Dong Dong's family servant, why is she carrying those things? That too in the middle of the night?"

  Aunt Wang was in a mood to sulk for a long time but then she heard her husband and looked up, sure enough, her gaze met with Lang who was carrying a huge pickle jar, with a bunch of red packets, fruits and whatnot, in fact except her eyes, they couldn't even see anything.

  It was just that they were used to seeing Lang every another day thus, they could recognize her with one glance. Aunt Wang's brows jumped as she walked towards Lang while holding on to Uncle Fu's hand, she knew that, unlike the villagers, Lang wouldn't be narrow-minded and call them shameless for holding hands.

  And she was right, as she approached Lang, the latter didn't even glance at their hands and simply nodded in acknowledgement before mumbling a muffled greeting.

  Aunt Wang took a great deal of packages from Lang, releasing her of some of the burden that she was carrying. " Lang, why are you carrying this?" She asked looking at the odd assortment of things that Lang was carrying. " Is there good news?"

  Lang nodded as she took a breath of relief. " It's the brother Fang he is pregnant, his cinnabar changed colour today."

  A look of utter joy and surprise flashed on Aunt Wang and Uncle Fu's face before Aunt Wang turned around and looked at her husband with glee. " Dong Dong is going to be a mother again! I bet her mother will be really happy for her!"

  Uncle Fu smiled as well, she knew how close his wife and Mother Yu were when the latter was still alive, so he knew that the joy Aunt Wang was no less than the time when she found out that they were going to be parents again.

  Aunt Wang looked at Lang and patted her shoulder. "Let's go, I have to see that sneaky brat. I told her that if good news knocks on her door, I should be the one whom she should tell first yet look she told the entire village and I was the last one who is hearing about this."

  Rolling his eyes, Uncle Fu slapped her arm lightly. " Oh stop it, don't start giving that girl a hard time before even seeing her."

  " Does that mean I can give her a hard time after I see her?"

  " Wife!"

  " I can't, got it."
