Begging You to Break Off This Engagement! Chapter 23 part2

Edited by Ahzinal~

“Previously, didn't I tell you that the Jiang family came to pick up Jiang Baining? Jiang Baining was really taken away by them that day.” Han Xu whispered in Luo Fei's ear. “Later, Qin Guizhi thought that it wasn't worthwhile to have already married him into the family just to let him be taken back, so she had Zhang Yangfan go bring him back. It was not known how the two of them reconciled. Then, after a few days, I heard that Jiang Baining met fortune, but I still don't know if it's true or not. You didn't see it this morning, but, everytime Qin Guizhi came across someone, she would say she was going to become a grandmother, tsk tsk. "

“That family loves to put on a show to brag, too lazy to listen to them.” Luo Fei gave the money to Auntie Pan, and then asked Li Yuehua: “Mother, how many do you want to buy?”

“I will also buy twenty. 18 females and 2 males should be fine.” Li Yuehua said, “Liu Feng, help me pick them.”

“Auntie Pan, this is the money for my mother and I, you accept it.” Luo Fei calculated the amount with Li Yuehua's together.

“This child, you can just buy yours yourself, why did you also count in Mother's?” Li Yuehua felt that this way was not good, and wanted to give money to Luo Fei.

“Aiya mom, it's only a little bit of money, not even that much. Yanqing is also willing. Let's not argue about this.” Luo Fei had Li Yuehua put her money back, “Auntie Pan, then, we'll be going first. I'm excited to show these little things their new coop. When you have time, come over to visit.”

“All right all right, then you guys go ahead to do what you need to.” Auntie Pan said, “Don't let the chicks sleep on the ground for the first five days. If they get sick from the cold, then it won't be good.”

“I understand, Auntie Pan! Thank you for telling me!” Luo Fei used his elbow and poked at Han Xu. “I'm going first, if you have time, come over to my place.”

“En en, then tomorrow I will go.” Han Xu lowered his voice and said, “My family's Brother Carpenter will come over tomorrow, he said that the cabinets for you guys are finished.”

“That's great! Tomorrow, you come with him, just eat at my house.” Luo Fei also whispered, “My newly learned skills, let you two have a taste!”

“All right, then I will bring him with me tomorrow at noon.” Han Xu waved his hand. “You should hurry back, San-bao and Auntie Li are waiting for you.”

The two close friends smiled as they whispered, making the Jiang Baining watching by the side gloomy. How come he did not have such a good friend. Every time he was upset, the person who listened the most to his complaints was Zhang Yangfan's older cousin. But after all, he is a cousin, no matter how close their relationship is, they still have to prevent from arousing suspicion.

Luo Fei's voice was getting farther and farther away. Qin Guizhi made a noise in the direction of the door "Pah!" "Didn't he just marry a stupid soldier, look at him flaunting around. He can't even give birth to a kid, what's he so proud of? After some time passes see if he still has the face to go out the door! He'll be returned home sooner or later!” Qin Guizhi patted Jiang Baining's hand. “It's still our family's Baining who works hard, originally my family's Zhang Yangfan not wanting him was the right thing to do.”

It was unknown what Jiang Baining was thinking about, but he actually did not respond.

Han Xu, upon seeing this, said: “Aunt Qin, regardless, you are still the mother of a scholar. You'd better accumulate some merit* for your family's Zhang Yangfan when you're speaking."

[T/N: I wasn't sure how to phrase it, but HX is basically saying that the way QGZ speaks crudely affects her son's reputation since he has the status of a scholar.]

Qin Guizhi immediately glared at Han Xu: “How am I not accumulating merit for him? Everything I'm saying is the truth! He originally is just not able to get pregnant.  Who doesn't know this in our village?!”

Han Xu coldly snorted: “He hasn't even been married to Xi Yanqing for a month, how can you just say that he can't have children? Maybe, when the time comes, he will have more births than anyone else!”

Qin Guizhi made a noise “Pah!” again.  “Go on dreaming, him? Whichever family takes him in as a wife is whichever family will have bad luck!”

“You…” Han Xu wanted to continue arguing,  but he was stopped by his mother behind him.

“Forget it, it is not worth it to argue with such a person. Besides, wait until when Er-bao really does get pregnant, she naturally will have to close her mouth.” Han Xu's mother patted Han Xu, “Let's also go.”

At this moment, Auntie Zhou looked at Jiang Baining quietly. Her eyes held doubt, but she did not say anything.

At this time, Luo Fei has already arrived at the Luo House. He didn't quite know how to raise chicks, so he came here first to learn. The main reason was that he was afraid if he didn't raise them well, then he would cause them to die. That would make him way too distressed. The little ones were so cute and fluffy, really so cute .

Li Yuehua poured some chicken feed for Luo Fei to take, and also told Luo Fei about all the important things to look out for. At the end, she took out the amount of money used to buy the chicks to give to Luo Fei: “Take it, when you went to the Xi Family, mother also did not give you any New Year's money. The little money you have on you, don't spend it so recklessly.”

Luo Fei was determined not to want it, it is impossible to ask again, and pushed it back: “I already said that this isn't necessary, Mother, just put it away. Besides, I still have a jo… cough, anyway, we won't go hungry. You can be rest assured.”  It wasn't him being generous and having face. It was that, every few days, he would come and learn how to cook with Luo Ru. Often, he didn't bring anything, but any food they made at noon he would bring some back. He was taking a lot from the Luo House, and was embarrassed to always accept but not give back.

Once Li Yuehua saw her son's determined heart, she no longer argued with him. She just pulled him aside and whispered, “With Yanqing over there… You two, when are you planning to have a baby?” 

“A doll*? Oh, a kid…” Luo Fei laughed insincerely. “Just, just when we have it is when we'll have it.” Who the hell would know when they would have one!  He and Xi Yanqing were even unlikely to masturbate* in their free time. Actually, he just clearly never thought of wanting one! Who wanted to raise a child, he still hasn't even been raised fully yet!

[T/N: LYH used a term that nowadays refers to a doll. But in archaic speech I guess it was just a common term for baby/kid; slang used for masturbate here is "to shoot off fireworks" lol]

“This child, about this matter you can't be so carefree!” Li Yuehua immediately got worried. “Mother will tell you, don't listen to the people who don't know what they're talking about outside. The color of the flowers on your hand is a bit lighter, but, two days ago, I went to find someone to ask about it. As a matter of fact, the color isn't important. So you listen to Mother, and you have to put the matter of having a child in your heart. Yanqing is the only one left in his family, since he was young he was all alone. Even if you have to rush, don't you still feel that you should hurry?”

“Okay okay okay, don't worry about it Mother, I know.” Luo Fei didn't want to listen to this anymore. Things have still not even taken shape yet, why talk about having a baby?  If Jiang Baining has one, then he just has one, why does it matter to him! Only recently did he start having some feelings for Xi Yanqing, and Xi Yanqing still wanted to talk about love and grope him!  Oh no, this would be like pulling out fur from that tiger's head!
