Suddenly, Shu Yan realized that she was not in the future. Many kids in the future had been spoiled like emperors or princesses. They wanted their families to only dote on them and not to share them with little brothers or sisters.
Things are different now. Or the education was different back then. There was no such thing as democracy. No parents would consult their children before having a second or third child.
Besides, JingJing grew up in the village in City Xi. Many in the village had three or four children. Some were remarried and had more children.
Nobody ever cared about the feelings of the older children. There was no such thing, including in the houses of her current classmatesâ family.
Tianbao was just ignorant. All he knew was that he was about to become a big brother. He had been wanting to become a big brother for a while now, so he was delighted by the news.
All of a sudden, neither Feng Zeyu nor Shu Yan knew what to say. This is why an adult should never try to guess what is on a childâs mind with their own standard.
Knowing that Shu Yan was pregnant, Aunty quickly adjusted the menu. All of the dishes would revolve around Shu Yanâs preference now.
Shu Yanâs morning sickness was relatively severe and couldnât stand the smell of meat. Aunty made a lot of vegetable dishes.
Granted, they still needed to have a meat dish. Feng Zeyu and the two children would need them. That dish, however, was placed as far away from Shu Yan as possible.
âIs it bad to not have any meat at all?â Feng Zeyu was a bit worried when he saw Shu Yan eating just a plateful of vegetables with no meat at all.
âAre you worried about me or that your child in me would starve?â Shu Yan was displeased all of a sudden. She felt annoyed inexplicably.
âI worry about you, of course. I worry that you will feel sick.â Feng Zeyu, taken aback a little, replied immediately.
Upon seeing that, Aunty immediately smiled and said, âItâs fine as long as she can stomach food. There was this woman in our village who vomited from the beginning of her pregnancy all the way to the end. After she had given birth, both the adult and the child were fine. It was just that the adult had to suffer. Giving birth is not easy.â She said the last part to Feng Zeyu purposefully. She wanted to tell him to be tolerating to Shu Yan now that she was pregnant.
Feng Zeyu smiled. He understood what Aunty was saying to him. Nevermind that Shu Yan was pregnant, he would be tolerating to her even if she wasnât.
She could at least eat vegetables and rice a few days ago. Recently, even Shu Yan thought she might starve to death if she wasnât able to at least stomach an apple.
âIs there anything that you want to eat? Iâll go and find it for you.â Squatting down next to Shu Yan, Feng Zeyu asked with a worried look.
âYou donât like it that I am starving your child.â Tears rolled down Shu Yanâs cheeks as she talked. She felt very aggrieved. âIâm hungry too. My stomach feels like it is on fire, but I canât stomach anything. Do you know what it feels like to be hungry but canât stomach anything? I feel awful and all you care about is your child being starved!â
Truth be told, Feng Zeyu truly worried about Shu Yan starving herself. This was the first time he was annoyed that he wasnât an articulating person.
âNo, Iâm just worried about you...... Iâm sorry.â He had no idea what he did wrong but, watching Shu Yan cry, he felt that he was unforgivable. He put his arms around Shu Yan and patted her gently on her back.
After crying for a little while, Shu Yan felt bad. She had no idea what happened. She had been moody since she had gotten pregnant and wanted to cry all the time. Now that she had recollected herself, she just felt that she was being unreasonable.
âIâm sorry. I donât even know what is going on. I...... just want to cry.â Even Shu Yan felt embarrassed after she had said that. What kind of a reason was that?
Truth was, she was very stable in front of others. She was only this way in front of Feng Zeyu.
After a month like that, Shu Yan finally slowly regained her appetite. She could at least stomach a little bit of food.
School started for the kids again and it was quiet again inside the house all of a sudden. Shu Yan didnât head into the office that day and wandered over to her Second Sisterâs stationary store during her free time. She could see a man talking to her sister from afar. When she got closer, Shu Yan could see that the man was bespectacled and looked decorous.
âSecond Sister.â
Shu Li looked a bit nervous when she saw Shu Yan. âLittle Sister, how are you free today?â
