Era: Life's Big Winner

Chapter 60 Xu Damao was surprised and happy

Red Star Courtyard.

Xu Damao returned to the yard, feeling nauseous, sleepy and without any energy.

I've been in this condition for more than a week, but I went to the hospital for a check-up and they found nothing wrong.

"I don't think I have a terminal illness that even the hospital can't diagnose, do I?"

His heart suddenly skipped a beat and the more he thought about it, the more scared he became. It was a hot summer day, but he felt like he was in an icy cave.

"Ugh!~" His stomach churning, Xu Damao ran to the sink and tried to dry heave, but nothing came out and his face turned pale.

At this time, Bang Geng came out of the room. Seeing him like that, he hurried forward and asked with concern: "Uncle, are you okay?"

Banggeng is twenty-five or twenty-six years old and is known as the Thief King. After returning from the countryside, Qin Jingru asked Xu Damao to take Banggeng to the cinema.

Xu Damao had a plan in mind and had always kept Banggeng as a temporary worker without making him a regular employee.

Xu Damao was demoted and Banggeng was also fired, so the street office arranged for him to clean the streets.

Banggeng felt embarrassed and had to work with a mask on all day. After being scolded by the team leader, he quit.

I have been doing nothing during this period of time. I heard that Shazhu is trying to use his connections to get Banggeng to drive a car for the company.

But Banggeng didn't appreciate it. He looked down on Shazhu and thought he was bragging.

These days, driving a big car or a small car is a very glamorous thing. How could Sha Zhu arrange such a job?
Because of this, Banggeng and Shazhu have been at odds recently, but Banggeng has always been very respectful to Xu Damao who fooled him.

"Do I look okay?" Xu Damao said impatiently, "Don't call me uncle from now on. Your aunt and I are divorced."

"What? When did it happen?" Banggeng was shocked.

At this time, Qin Huairu came out to wash the pots and bowls. She happened to hear it and was also shocked. She asked with a shocked face: "Is it true?"

"How can I joke about something like this? It happened yesterday." Xu Damao said depressedly, and suddenly he couldn't help bending over and retching.

"No wonder Jingru wants to move out." Qin Huairu muttered to herself, and glanced at Xu Damao again, wondering:

"What's wrong with you? Did you eat something dirty?"

Xu Damao shook his head and frowned: "I haven't eaten anything in the past few days. I vomited everything I ate. I went to the hospital but they couldn't find anything wrong."

"Huh? This situation is a bit like morning sickness!" Qin Huairu exclaimed softly, put the pots and bowls next to the sink and chuckled.

Xu Damao was furious. He glared at her and said unhappily, "What nonsense! Why would a man like me have morning sickness?"

"Haha, you really don't disbelieve it. Some women get pregnant because it's the men who have morning sickness." Qin Huairu said confidently.

Bang Geng guessed: "Could it be that my aunt is pregnant?"

Xu Damao and Qin Huairu were both stunned. After looking at each other, Xu Damao shook his head and said:
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! She has been married to me for so many years and has not gotten pregnant. How could she get pregnant right after the divorce?"

"What if you're pregnant?" Qin Huairu asked with a smile, "No matter whether it's true or not, I think you should go ask."

Xu Damao was both excited and nervous. At his age now, he dreamed of having a child and was eagerly looking forward to having one.

If Qin Jingru is really pregnant, she will have to remarry him even if he begs her on his knees.

At the same time, he felt relieved because he had no children with either Lou Xiao'e or Qin Jingru.

Others teased him about his health problems.

He was very taboo in his heart and got furious every time he talked about it, but he didn't dare to go for a check-up for fear that there was really a problem.

Now, if this is true, it proves that he is fine.

"I don't know where she moved to, otherwise I would go and ask her." Xu Damao frowned and pondered.

Qin Huairu raised her chin to Bang Geng and said with a smile, "Bang Geng helped her aunt move things, so she knows where to live."

"Then what are we waiting for? Bang Geng lead the way." Xu Damao perked up and gave orders quickly.

Banggeng responded, ran to Xu Damao's house to get his bicycle, and left the courtyard with Xu Damao. Not long after they left, Qin Jingru arrived.

"Oh, what a coincidence, Banggeng and Xu Damao just went out to look for you." Qin Huairu said with a smile while washing dishes.

Qin Jingru put the bicycle under the eaves, turned around and asked in confusion: "Why are you looking for me?"

Qin Huairu washed her hands, wiped them on her apron, walked over, took Qin Jingru's hand, and asked in a low voice:

"Tell me the truth, are you pregnant?"

Qin Jingru's eyes widened, she looked down at her stomach, and said in surprise: "How can you tell this? This shouldn't be possible!"

"I don't have such a good eye. I just saw Xu Damao retching and guessed he was having morning sickness." Qin Huairu smiled.

Qin Jingru was stunned and asked in surprise: "He had morning sickness? Don't mention it, it's really possible. It seems that I wore his shoes on the day of our wedding."

It is rumored that on the wedding night, the woman wears the man's shoes, or the woman secretly puts her shoes on top of the man's shoes.

She will not be bullied by the man in the future and will control him. After she becomes pregnant, the man will help her with morning sickness.

"So you are really pregnant?" Qin Huairu asked in surprise, with a smile on her face, but feeling a little uncomfortable in her heart.

Qin Jingru hummed, smiled, and nodded slightly.

"How many months?" Qin Huairu asked again, her face expressionless but her heart sour.

Although she had a child, she didn't want Qin Jingru to have a child and then remarry Xu Damao.

It’s not that she had any other thoughts about Xu Damao, she simply didn’t want Qin Jingru to live better than her.

After all, Qin Jingru has a good job and has become younger. If she remarries Xu Damao and has a child, her family will be complete.

Compared with Qin Jingru, she is old and ugly, has an average job, and except for having a family, it seems that she is inferior to Qin Jingru in every way.

The two were from the same production team and were relatives. They both married in the city and often compared themselves with each other in secret.

Qin Jingru curled her lips slightly and smiled softly, "About two months. I had guessed it before, but I went to the hospital to confirm it yesterday."

"Good fellow! You are so cunning that you refused to reveal any secrets before." Qin Huairu took a deep breath and sighed.

"By the way, why did you come here so early? Have you eaten? Are you used to living outside?"

Qin Jingru smiled and said, "Come over and move the remaining things. The new place is close to the workplace, so it's quite convenient."

"Now that you have a child, why don't you move back home?" Qin Huairu asked tentatively, "When your belly gets bigger, you can't live alone."

"It's okay. When I'm on maternity leave, I'll ask my mother to come to the city to take care of me." Qin Jingru shook her head.

Qin Huairu nodded slightly and whispered: "It depends on the situation. Xu Damao wants to remarry you. I advised you to separate before."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Since I have moved out, I will never remarry him." Qin Jingru shook her head when she heard that.

"I had no choice but to marry him before, but now with my current situation, I don't want to follow him and depend on him for food."

Qin Huairu was secretly delighted, but she advised: "Don't be so angry! If you don't think about yourself, you should think about the children!"

"You can't leave the child without a father, can you? Of course, you can remarry, but it's not easy to marry with a child."

Qin Jingru said disapprovingly: "Then don't get married. With my salary, I can support a child."

Not to mention that she has a career system now, even if she didn't have a job, Liu Hongchang has promised to provide child support.

Others may not know, but she knows something.

Liu Hongchang goes out to take private jobs every day and earns more money in a month than his annual salary, so raising several children is no problem at all.

So she was not panicked at all. She had food, clothing, savings, and Liu Hongchang's love. It was much more comfortable than living a miserable life with Xu Damao.
