Chapter 785: Hide it like a dirty secret—-2
————–Ye Liu took out a silver tael and then handed it to Doctor Gu along with her fees for giving such a piece of good news to them, at first Doctor Gu refused to take the silver but then Ye Liu continued to insist and she had to take the silver tael with her.
Once Doctor Gu was gone, Ye Liu returned inside the living room and then turned to look at Shen Li who was smiling like a fool while touching his belly. It was as if he was a child who just discovered a new toy which he very much wanted, seeing him act like this Ye Liu was both amused and annoyed, he flicked Shen Li on the forehead and said, ” Stop rubbing your belly, you will make our baby all squashed up.”
Shen Li flushed in embarrassment as he hugged his belly and then turned to look at Ye Liu with a smile which was both sheepish and silly, he bent forward and then caught Ye Liu’s hands in his and said with a voice which was both emotional and sobbing, ” Liu, Thank you. Thank you so much… if not for you today, I would have … I don’t know how should I thank you, if not for you the child would have really suffered today because of my foolishness.”

” Oh please,” Ye Liu rolled his eyes with his ears turning red as he snatched his hands away from Shen Li before saying in a slightly thick voice, ” I am not going to say that you are an idiot for going to see that woman but now that you are calling yourself an idiot then why not? You should have known that the woman was planning something evil the second you heard that she came to see you.”
He paused and added, ” But now you have to be careful, now that you are with a child. Not only will those women in your family have an opportunity to make noise in front of our wife but they will not keep quiet either.”
Ye Liu was not going to mince his words because he needed to make Shen Li understand that there were things that he needed to avoid, like what happened today. Shen Li could have avoided going to the entrance of the village but the values which were instilled in his body were so deeply embedded in his bones that even after getting sold off by his family, he went to see Shen Hanxing who had never done anything for him.
He of course understood that Shen Li was afraid that the villagers were going to talk if he did not go and see Shen Hanxing but were the villagers or Shen Hanxing important when it came to his health and the safety of his child?
Shen Li also understood that he needed to start avoiding his mother and sister, they were not going to stop, Ye Liu was right about this, and in case they found out that he was with a child then —— he placed his hand on his abdomen and thought over everything that his sister could do in case she did not get what she wanted if she found out that he was doted on by Yu Dong and he was even carrying her child and was not a wooden and barren mer as he made himself look in front of her, then she will definitely try to harm him and his child for not listening to her!
And knowing how skilled and sticky his sister was, he knew that she will not rest until she got what she wanted in one way or another.
” I know,” Shen Li’s expression which was full of smiles earlier turned solemn in a second upon realising the threat which was hovering over his head. He thought and thought before shaking his head and turning to look at Ye Liu and the rest before speaking, ” For the time being let’s keep this matter of my pregnancy among ourselves, I know that you all want to celebrate this joyful moment but its better to keep this matter inside the four walls of our house, if my family finds out that I am with a child then they will not waste a moment in thinking before shamelessly latching to Yu Dong.”
It was not that Shen Li was over exaggerating but he knew his mother and sister very well, they were greedy, lazy and good for nothing. His second brother who became the Concubine of a big official nearly lost the custody of his child because of the two women’s interference. They harassed the official so much that she straightforwardly told his second brother that if their family did not stop badgering her and asking for money then she will take the child away from him.
It have his second brother such a scare that he now no longer dares to even step out of his house, this was such a huge matter that everyone in the town got to know about it.
Shen Li knew that Yu Dong will never snatch his child away from him but he would rather throw his silver down a sh*t stinking pit than give it to his family because if the money fell in a sh*t hole, he could still take it out but if his money was taken by his mother and sister, he can forget all about getting that money back.
And more importantly, the two of them were like an endless abyss once they got even a copper coin from him, then he can forget all about sending them away, they will not let go of him unless he built them a huge house with servants while leeching off him and Yu Dong until they died! Like hell, he was going to do something as stupid as this!
Chen Mi also understood what Shen Li was saying but unlike Shen Li who seemed certain, he could not help but say, ” But Brother Li, how are we going to keep this matter under wraps? You know wife, once she finds out that you are pregnant, she will make sure that the entire village knows about it, don’t forget that when our neighbour Miss Chou made fun of you, wife swore at her and said and said that she will definitely give her candy the day you get pregnant.”
