Chapter 137 -137: How is the Daughter-in-law Pregnant Again?

Their seats happened to be a set of four, facing each other as they sat down.

Suddenly, a pair of large hands landed on Susu’s head, giving her a start.

“Comrade, please withdraw your hand.”

Lu Xiaoting promptly lifted the man’s dirty hands back to him.

“What the hell, it’s none of your fucking business where I put my hand.”

The man cursed and turned around, only to meet the stern, frightening face of the tall and brawny Lu Xiaoting. He immediately shut his mouth and withdrew his hand, not daring to let out so much as a breath.

Susu rolled her eyes, thinking he was a coward who bullied the weak and feared the strong.

“Wife, let’s just bear with it. Once we get to the Capital and change trains, we can sleep in bunk beds where there are fewer people.”

Susu nodded, “Mhm, sit down. Don’t keep standing.”

It was everyone’s first time on a train, looking around curiously at everything.

Suddenly, a sour and stinky odor wafted by, assaulting their nostrils with a vengeance.

Susu felt like retching from the stench, wondering which person could be responsible for such a smell that seemed to stem from days without washing their feet.

Not only Susu but even the three men were left feeling dizzy and disoriented by the smell.

Su Chenghe complained, “Good Lord, that foot stink is even worse than my big brother’s, it’s making my eyes water!”

(Su Chengming, “…”)

Susu’s shoulders shook with suppressed laughter. Was he really being that exaggerated?

Later on, with the rickety movements of the green train, Susu dozed off leaning against her man.

She didn’t know if it was psychological or if she’d just grown accustomed to the train, but Susu eventually got used to the smell.

They arrived in Beijing in the middle of the night, catching an early train the next day.

All the lodgings were likely closed by late night, so the group simply waited at the train station.

Luckily they were dressed warmly and didn’t feel too cold while waiting at the station.

The train from the Capital to Yangcheng was a sleeper train; having barely slept the previous night, they began to sleep as soon as they got on the train.

When Susu woke up, the various delicious food aromas in the carriage had her stomach growling.

“Wife, I’ve bought some food. Come down and eat,” he said.

Just as Susu was sitting up, she saw her man returning with several lunch boxes in hand.

It was like they were perfectly in sync.

The four of them ate their pancakes brought from home along with hot water and dishes.

The person in the upper bunk seemed to be woken by their activity and got down, grabbed a lunch box, and left.

After eating their fill, Su Nian leaned on the lower bunk and watched the scenery outside the window, which was unlike the bare wasteland seen from the train windows in Meng Province.

The group talked about the kids back home, wondering whether they’d even recognize them upon returning.

Gradually, they shared tips on childcare and education, and the time flew by not without a bit of joy.

In an instant, the outside world turned pitch black.

As the train began to slow down and come to a stop, the noise gradually filled the carriage.

Having slept poorly the night before, Su Nian decided to climb up to the middle bunk to sleep early.

“Comrade, wake up.”

On the train, Susu, who slept lightly, was woken by someone and opened her eyes to face an old lady.

Frowning, she asked, “What’s wrong, old comrade?”

“Comrade, let’s switch bunks. I’m old and just can’t get up there.”

Instantly, Susu got up, annoyed at being woken from a sound sleep. Was it just because they saw she was a female comrade? If she couldn’t climb to the upper bunk, shouldn’t she ask the lower bunk? Why did she ignore the male comrade in the lower bunk and ask the only female comrade in the middle bunk?

Look at her, thinking she’s too good to give up her seat!

“Not switching.”

“Hey, you young woman, why don’t you show any respect for your elders?” the old lady hollered, squinting her eyes.

Su Nian sneered, “Old lady, you woke me up from a sound sleep, and now you’re acting like you’re in the right. Even if it’s because of your personal issue that you can’t climb up there, loudness doesn’t make anyone right.

Besides, I’ve always respected my elders and cared for the young, but with your attitude today, I’m not giving in.”

Susu kept her voice under control, making sure both she and the old lady demanding her seat could hear her.

“Hey, everybody, come and judge for yourselves. Is it easy for an old lady my age?”

The old lady wailed, hitting her thigh and waking up everyone in the carriage. There was never a shortage of people who loved a commotion.

“What’s wrong with the elderly comrade?”

“Yeah, yeah, what’s going on? Let’s talk this through calmly.”

Seeing that people had gathered around, the old lady immediately began to cry, make a scene, and threaten to hang herself, all while shouting.

“I’m an old lady, on my way to see my son’s child. Who would’ve thought my son only managed to snatch an upper berth.

As an old woman, I can’t possibly climb up there, so I thought I’d switch with this young lady, as it should be easier for the youth.”

“Yes, yes, the upper berth is too high, it’s really not easy to get up there.”

“Indeed, it’s not easy for an old lady of her age.”

With everyone siding with her, the old lady pointed with slanted eyes and said, “But this young woman refused to switch no matter what. She even insinuated that I’m useless as an old person.

What bad things did I do in my last life to be scolded like this?”

Susu… really knew how to turn black into white.

Those unaware of the truth all pointed fingers at Susu for not understanding the concept of respect for the elderly.

“Young woman, just switch with the old comrade. The elderly have a hard time moving, what if she falls?”

“Exactly, you have elderly people in your family too. Why can’t you show some empathy?”

…

Susu was so angry she had to laugh. She looked up and saw Lu Xiaoting’s furrowed brow and tugged at his hand, giving him a reassuring look that she was alright.

Then, holding her belly, she pretended to be weak, pale, and drained, and slowly started climbing down.

Coughing, she said, “I’m really sorry, old comrade. I’m in such discomfort, and I was worried about the baby. I really couldn’t help it just now.

Please don’t be mad, and don’t let people curse at me and my man. I’ll move aside for you, and if worse comes to worst… I’ll just lie on the floor for a few days.

Otherwise, I’m afraid if I fall from up here, something might happen to the baby in my belly, and I…”

Susu covered her mouth and began to sob, choking back tears, leaving onlookers filled with pity.

The crowd immediately took her side.

“Young woman, you’re really having a tough time. Don’t move, we all face difficulties.”

“Yes, don’t move, just lie still. Do not harm the baby in your belly.”

“The old comrade really should know better. With so many men around, she insisted on bothering a sick young woman. Didn’t you see how pale she looks?”

“Really, waking everyone up in the middle of the night, almost causing us to wrongly accuse the young woman.”

…

The old lady glared, listening to the murmur of the crowd but was at a loss for words.

Susu winked at her man, and the previously stunned Lu Xiaoting instantly understood that this was his wife’s version of a soft dagger.

He breathed a sigh of relief, joking to himself that he’d had a vasectomy at the hospital, so how could his wife be pregnant again?

In the end, the middle berth across from them was swapped by Xiao Sun and the old lady, and only then did the crowd disperse.

Unaware of the true story, Su Chengming and Xiao Sun were panic-stricken and anxious for days.
