Dressed as a little fool: marry and have children

Chapter 152 Lou Xiao'e is pregnant

Time passed slowly, and one morning, Xu's mother was filled with worries. She sat on a stone bench in the yard, frowning and rubbing her hands.

Her son Xu Damao is already quite old, but still has no children. This makes her very anxious, after all, in traditional concepts, starting a family and having children are the most important things in life.

Xu's mother stood up, dusted herself off, and decided to talk to her son and daughter-in-law. She thought to herself, "Even if she is Lou Bancheng's daughter, if she still can't get pregnant, I will ask my son to divorce her." Although this idea was a bit extreme, she really couldn't bear it any longer.

When Xu's mother arrived at her son's house, she saw Xu Damao coming out of the kitchen with a bowl of hot porridge. Seeing his mother coming, Xu Damao hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mom, you are here. Come in and sit down. Have you eaten yet? Do you want to eat more?"

Mother Xu waved her hand and said with a smile, "I've eaten, I've eaten. I just came to see you." As she spoke, her gaze turned to Lou Xiao'e, who had just walked to the table and sat down to eat.

Lou Xiao'e showed a hint of displeasure when she saw Xu's mother coming in. But out of politeness, she still managed a smile and said, "Mom, you're here."

Mother Xu did not notice the change in Lou Xiao'e's expression. She continued to talk to herself, "Xiao'e, how are you feeling recently? Have you and Damao been to the hospital?"

When Lou Xiao'e heard this, her brows furrowed, and her impatience became more obvious. She put down her chopsticks and said coldly, "Mom, don't worry about our affairs. I know my own health well."

Seeing this, Xu's mother felt disappointed. She knew that she might have said something she shouldn't have said, and violated Lou Xiao'e's bottom line. But she was still unwilling to give up, and continued: "Xiao'e, you and Damao have been married for so long, why is there still no movement? You have to go to the hospital, how can this go on?"

When Lou Xiao'e heard Xu's mother's urging, the dissatisfaction in her heart burned like a ignited flame. She stood up suddenly, clenched her fists, frowned, and said loudly: "Mom! Please don't urge us anymore! We have our own plans! If you keep talking like this, I will go back to my parents' home!" Her voice was full of dissatisfaction and determination, as if it would explode at any time.

Xu's mother was startled by Lou Xiao'e's sudden outburst. She was about to continue speaking when Xu Damao interrupted her. Xu Damao picked up a glass of water from the table, handed it to Xu's mother, and said gently, "Mom, drink some water to moisten your throat."

Then, Xu Damao turned to look at Lou Xiao'e, trying to ease the atmosphere. He filled a bowl of porridge, carefully handed it to Lou Xiao'e, and said, "Xiao'e, have some porridge."

However, Lou Xiao'e smelled the fishy smell left on Xu Damao's hands and felt sick. She blocked the bowl with her hand and dropped it to the ground, splashing the porridge everywhere. Lou Xiao'e turned sideways and began to retch. Her face was pale and her brows were furrowed, as if she was suffering from great discomfort.

Xu Damao was furious when he saw Lou Xiao'e's reaction. Although he rarely gave in to Lou Xiao'e, he still cared about his face. He was very angry when he saw that Lou Xiao'e didn't give him face in front of her mother and even smashed the bowl. He was about to ask Lou Xiao'e whether she wanted to continue living together, but was interrupted by Xu's mother's question.

Mother Xu stared at Lou Xiao'e's retching. An idea flashed through her mind. The excitement on her face surged like a tide, and she couldn't suppress it no matter what. She asked tentatively, with a tremor and expectation in her voice:

"Xiao'e, have you not had your period recently? Could it be that you are... pregnant?"

After saying this, Xu's mother seemed to be afraid that her guess would disturb Lou Xiao'e, so she hurried forward and gently patted Lou Xiao'e's back, her movements gentle and careful. She stared at Lou Xiao'e, trying to find the answer from her reaction.

Mother Xu handed the water to Lou Xiao'e's mouth and whispered, "Come, drink some water to rinse the taste in your mouth." Her tone was full of care and consideration, as if Lou Xiao'e was already pregnant with her grandson.

Lou Xiao'e took the water and drank a few sips gently, feeling that the nausea was slightly relieved. She raised her head and looked at Xu's mother's expectant eyes.

She took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound calmer: "Mom, I really haven't had my period this month. Just now, I smelled the fishy smell on Damao's hands and suddenly felt sick. I don't know if I am... pregnant."

Although Lou Xiao'e's words were a little vague, her hands could not help but touch her belly, and the expectation in her eyes was real. She was full of uneasiness, hoping that she was really pregnant, but also afraid that all this was just an illusion.

Mother Xu looked at Lou Xiao'e's reaction, and her excitement almost overflowed from her eyes. She was almost certain that her guess was correct.

She held Lou Xiao'e's hand tightly, her eyes full of joy, her voice trembling a little: "Xiao'e, you must have had this reaction! This is really a big happy event for our family! Don't worry, Mom will take good care of you and make sure you and the child are healthy."

After comforting Lou Xiao'e, Mother Lou turned around and quickly ordered Xu Damao who was standing beside her: "Da Mao, why are you still standing there? Take your wife to the hospital for a check-up to see if our eldest grandson is okay. If anything happens to my eldest grandson, I will only ask you!"

Xu Damao finally came back to his senses from his shock and joy. His eyes were originally filled with surprise and nervousness, but were eventually filled with the great joy of having "his own" child.

He couldn't wait to get up and push the bicycle, and at the same time he did not forget to put a thick cushion on the back seat of the bicycle. Every movement he made was cautious, for fear that Lou Xiao'e would feel uncomfortable sitting there.

After putting the cushion in place, Xu Damao turned around, gave Xu's mother a comforting smile, and said, "Mom, you stay home for a while. I'll take Ezi to the hospital for a checkup. Don't worry, we will take good care of Ezi."

As he spoke, Xu Damao pushed the bike and walked out with Lou Xiao'e. Before leaving, Xu's mother looked at their backs and reminded them worriedly: "Remember to ride slowly and carefully."

"I see." Xu Damao responded casually, but his mind was already completely on Lou Xiao'e. He helped Lou Xiao'e out of the courtyard and onto the street. After Lou Xiao'e sat steadily, he rode his bike carefully and drove towards the hospital.

Along the way, Xu Damao rode very carefully, fearing that Lou Xiao'e would be bumped. He couldn't stop smiling, and looked back at Lou Xiao'e from time to time, fearing that she was not sitting comfortably.
