Chapter 778: Li Na Is Pregnant!
The Li Family Courtyard!
Hearing his third older sister suddenly say she had something to discuss, Li Yi’s heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.
He knew his third sister’s personality all too well—she was incredibly assertive.
If it were just a routine matter, she wouldn’t even bother telling him—she’d simply make the decision herself.
The fact that she was consulting him so earnestly meant this was definitely no ordinary matter.
With that in mind, Li Yi immediately said, “What’s the matter? Is there really a need to discuss it?”
“Let’s get your brother-in-law a new car!”
Hearing this, both Li Yi and Jiang Xue were taken aback. Why on earth would she suddenly bring up getting a new car out of the blue?
Li Yi immediately looked at Long Zhanjun and asked, “What kind of car? Brother-in-law, you don’t happen to dislike that Mercedes, do you?”
Before Long Zhanjun could speak, Third Sister Li Na interjected, “How could anyone not like such a great car? But this car just isn’t right for me and your brother-in-law!”
“Why isn’t it suitable?”
“That car isn’t suitable for hauling cargo!”
Li Yi: !@#￥%……
Li Na immediately explained, “Your brother-in-law has to ride a tricycle to the market every day at the crack of dawn to buy ingredients, and then deliver them to three stores. He freezes his butt off every single day.”
“I was thinking of having him drive that car, but it’s just not built for hauling cargo. Plus, your brother-in-law wouldn’t want to use such a nice car to haul meat and vegetables. So I was hoping we could trade it in for a 212—it’s perfect for both passengers and cargo!”
Li Yi chuckled and said, “I thought it was something big. It’s just a 212, isn’t it? I’ll have someone deliver it to you later—why bother swapping it out?”
In the past, Li Yi wouldn’t have dared to say something like that, given the strict restrictions on private vehicle ownership in the country.
If he wanted a car for himself, that wouldn’t be a problem—given his contributions to the country, the higher-ups certainly wouldn’t deny him that favor.
But getting a car for someone else was a different story—not to mention, Li Yi wouldn’t want to bother the higher-ups with something like this; it just wasn’t worth it.
However, now that his people had set up a branch office here, regulations allowed foreign diplomatic missions and foreign-invested companies to own vehicles within the country. Therefore, Li Yi could easily procure vehicles under the branch’s name.
As for who exactly would drive the purchased vehicles, that’s entirely up to him, the big boss, to decide!
Li Na shook her head and said, “Yi, there’s another reason we don’t want that car—it’s just too flashy!”
“The moment that car hits the road, wherever we go, people will gather to stare. Once they see we’re the owners, they’ll point and whisper, gossiping and saying all sorts of things. You should just keep driving it yourself!”
Li Yi thought about it and realized his third sister had a point.
After all, most high-ranking officials in the country these days drive ordinary sedans. It really wouldn’t be appropriate for Third Sister and her husband—two ordinary people—to be driving a Mercedes worth a million.
With that in mind, Li Yi immediately said, “Alright, I’ll have the company procure a batch of cars as soon as possible. We’ll have them swap with my sister-in-law and brother-in-law later. For now, let’s just keep driving this one for a few days!”
“Alright…”
Just then, Jiang Xue emerged from the inner room, carrying a large piece of cured pork that was dark with reddish streaks.
“Sister Na, this is a local specialty we brought back from Yong County. Take it with you when you leave!”
“Great! My brother-in-law was just talking about how much he wanted some cured pork a few days ago…”
Just as she spoke, Li Na’s expression suddenly changed, and she immediately covered her mouth and ran out into the courtyard.
Amid the astonished stares of the others, she leaned against the flower-covered wall and began retching.
Seeing this, Li Yi and Long Zhanjun immediately followed her outside.
“Nana, how are you feeling? Should I take you to the hospital?”
Long Zhanjun said, patting Li Na on the back, his eyes filled with concern.
“It’s probably fine. I don’t feel any pain or discomfort—I just suddenly smelled that cured meat and felt like throwing up!” Li Na said.
Li Yi, standing nearby, asked, “Sis, how long has this been going on?”
“About three or four days now!”
Li Yi immediately turned to Long Zhanjun and said, “Bro-in-law, you’d better take my sister to the hospital to get checked out…”
Before he could finish, Li Na cut in, “What’s there to check? Don’t I know best if I’m sick or not? It’s probably just food poisoning from the past few days!”
Li Yi looked at the two clueless idiots in front of him and tentatively suggested, “Sis, is there a chance you might be pregnant?”
“Pregnant?”
Li Na and Long Zhanjun both froze; they hadn’t even considered that possibility, mainly because they lacked experience.
It took a while for Long Zhanjun to process it, then he said excitedly, “Yi, are you saying I’m going to be a dad?”
“It’s very possible. After all, you’ve been married for a while now, so it’s perfectly normal to get pregnant…”
Before he could finish, Third Sister Li Na grabbed Long Zhanjun’s arm and dragged him straight out the front door. banbanhaobang
“Sis, give me a call once you’re done!”
“Got it!” Li Na replied without looking back.
Watching the two walk away, Jiang Xue, who had just caught up with the situation, finally asked, “Do you think Sister Na is really pregnant?”
“I think so!”
Hearing this, a flicker of envy crossed Jiang Xue’s eyes, and she immediately added, “Then shouldn’t you go over there to check on her too?”
“No need. With Third Brother-in-Law there, that’s enough. If I go, it’ll just cause a lot of trouble!” Li Yi said.
Jiang Xue’s face flushed slightly, and she immediately said, “Since you’re not needed, let’s go back to the room!”
“All that arguing has kept me awake. Why don’t you go ahead and sleep…”
Before he could finish, Jiang Xue reached out and pulled Li Yi toward the bedroom.
Once inside, she immediately locked the door from the inside and drew the curtains, then looked at Li Yi with eyes full of both shyness and anticipation.
Seeing the look on his wife’s face, Li Yi knew immediately that the news of his third sister’s possible pregnancy had stirred something in her.
Realizing there was no escaping being “milked” today, Li Yi immediately picked up his little wife and carried her toward the large bed.
Soon after, melodious, enchanting music began to fill the main room…
……….
An hour later, just as the action in the Li family’s main room had ended, the phone in the living room suddenly rang urgently.
It was Long Zhanjun calling. He told Li Yi that the hospital had confirmed Li Na was indeed pregnant.
Hearing Long Zhanjun’s excited, incoherent voice on the other end of the line, Li Yi’s heart was also filled with immense excitement.
In his previous life, whether it was Long Zhanjun or his third older sister Li Na, both of them were pitiable souls who never had children of their own.
Third Sister was somewhat better off; at least she had Xiao Jingyu. Though not her biological child, it was almost the same.
Long Zhanjun, however, had it much worse—no biological children and not even an adopted one; he was truly all alone.
In this life, these two unfortunate souls had found comfort in each other and now had a child of their own—a thought that filled Li Yi with a sense of relief.
After advising Long Zhanjun on some taboos regarding pregnancy—especially that they shouldn’t “do that” during the first three months—Li Yi hung up the phone.
When he returned to the room and told Jiang Xue the news that Third Sister was definitely pregnant,
The girl, who was eager for a second child, immediately fixed her gaze on Li Yi, then pulled him back onto the kang, and a new round of “exploitation” began…
