CHAPTER 437: CHAPTER 437: HAVING A PLAN

Because of this mysterious power, Jin once again ventured out and discovered the connection between the nameless deity tablet in the people’s homes and their actions. What else could she not understand?

It turns out to be the power of faith. No wonder it felt like such a profound and mysterious force. It truly was an unexpected reward. The heartache over the gasoline consumed was eased considerably.

This... it must be a reward from the heavens for her.

If this were the case, Jin would be willing to continue doing good deeds without exposing herself.

Well... she is actually quite kind-hearted.

"Jin’er..." Amid her thoughts, the sound of Daya’s voice came from the stairs.

Jin, resting her chin in her palm, turned her face and then suddenly stood up.

"Sister-in-law, why did you come downstairs on your own? It’s so dangerous!"

As soon as she spoke, she saw Second Sister-in-law behind her, which scared her, and she hurried upstairs to support them.

Their bellies, both heavily pregnant, made going downstairs really dangerous.

But they were unwilling to change rooms with father, mother, or her, saying they were used to living there and that being cautious was fine.

Especially since the first sister-in-law was about to give birth. Every time they saw her waddling downstairs with her round belly, the whole family was on edge.

"Where are the brothers? Why aren’t they accompanying the sisters-in-law?" Jin first gently supported the first sister-in-law down, then the second. Only when both were securely seated in the armchairs did her worried heart settle down.

"You were asleep earlier and didn’t know. They went out with Dad. There’s a happy event in the village, and they went to help."

"A happy event... whose family?" Jin really wasn’t aware. After breakfast, she went back to the spatial realm.

The realm had expanded so much now, and there were more tasks every day. Not to mention the additional lands needed cultivation, and the newly emerged half-mountain range was quite high, requiring a fair amount of exploration. There was plenty to keep her busy.

Had it not been for fear of causing suspicions among her sisters-in-law, she might have stayed in the realm constantly.

Daya gave Jin a sideways glance: "Sun A-Pang..."

"Sun A-Pang?" Jin was puzzled; she truly didn’t remember who that was.

Daya and Yun laughed, loving to see their sister-in-law’s confused look.

Unlike the sweetness of her childhood, as she grew older, her features became quite striking, inadvertently exuding a noble and elegant aura. But when she was confused, there was always a glimmer of childlike innocence, paired with her delicate appearance. They couldn’t take their eyes off her, wishing their babies in their bellies were as cute and pretty, resembling her.

"It’s Uncle Sun Tu’s family," Yun explained with a smile.

"Second Sister-in-law means Uncle Sun Tu’s son, Sun Skinny?" Jin’s eyes widened slightly, finally recalling, and her face was full of mixed emotions.

He was obviously skinny, and yet his family had given him the name A-Pang, which made Jin wonder if that was why, no matter what he ate, Sun A-Pang never gained weight.

"Yes, that’s him." Daya and Yun nodded simultaneously.

"Isn’t he still young?"

His thin and small stature made Jin genuinely believe he was still a teenager.

Daya: "He’s not that young, already nearly eighteen."

At this age in the village, it was common to have children already, so Sun A-Pang getting married wasn’t considered early.

"Seems so." Jin shook her head.

This time, Daya and Yun wholeheartedly agreed with their sister-in-law’s opinion; Sun A-Pang did appear quite young.

When Uncle Sun Tu came over today, they were quite surprised.

"Whose daughter is it?"

There was no shortage of girls in the village, but Jin couldn’t figure out who might have fallen for Sun A-Pang.

Not that she was insulting him; aside from appearing particularly young and having a youthful face, he wasn’t really unattractive.

But that was merely superficial; character is the most important.

Both brothers went, indicating Sun A-Pang’s conduct was commendable. If he hadn’t received their approval, especially the easy-going second brother wouldn’t have bothered attending.

"Li Xiaohong?" Jin frowned. "If I remember correctly, there doesn’t seem to be anyone named Li Xiaohong in our village."

Yun: "You remembered correctly. She’s not from our village; she’s from Li Village, the eldest niece of Li Laosan’s family."

Speaking of Li Laosan, Jin was aware he was someone they had once helped—a very decent man, courageous, spirited, and loyal.

Being from Li Laosan’s family, Jin was genuinely a bit curious.

"Sister-in-law, have you met this girl?"

Jin truly hadn’t met her. Her schedule was so tight; if she had time, she’d either stay in her room to rest or watch videos in the spatial realm.

Daya nodded: "I have seen her. She’s quite a pretty girl, though slightly timid, but loves to laugh and seems quite capable."

"I’ve heard her family has good values. They’re all hardworking, and her parents are decent folks. Sun A-Pang’s choice is not bad."

Yun chimed in, curious about what her husband told her before he left.

"Sounds like she’s really a good girl, and Sun A-Pang does have a good eye." Jin nodded.

Speaking of which, this year, the young men in the village, following the brothers, had one happy event after another, and most had paired up.

"Seems Mom and Grandma went too." No wonder when she came out, she didn’t see the shadow of either; even the little fourth brother ran off somewhere.

"They did, but they should be back soon," Daya nodded.

Since their bellies grew bigger, Grandma and Mom wouldn’t be away long, even if there was something urgent.

Just as she finished speaking, they saw Shi hurriedly enter the courtyard. Lifting the curtain, she saw them chatting in the main room and visibly relaxed, smiling.

"Mom..." Jin instinctively snuggle up to Shi’s side.

"Mom, you’re back," Daya and Yun also stood up, only to be intercepted nervously by Shi.

"Don’t move, don’t move, just sit," Especially as her gaze landed on the eldest daughter-in-law’s overly large belly, she gently patted Jin’s arm, saying "Good," and after a smile, her attention turned entirely to her daughters-in-law.

"How are you? Did the children cause any trouble?"

"No, Mom, don’t worry," the two sisters-in-law replied simultaneously.

"That’s good," Shi felt assured, yet her eyes couldn’t stop glancing at the eldest daughter-in-law’s belly several more times, always feeling there wasn’t just one baby inside, as it seemed much larger than a typical pregnant belly.

Compared to the eldest daughter-in-law, the second’s belly seemed a lot more normal, like a small basin sitting on her stomach at seven months, not too burdensome.

Seeing that delivery was near, Shi was still a bit anxious, deciding that even if her daughter-in-law was reluctant, she’d have Dr. Sun come for a check-up.

People in the countryside weren’t particularly fussy, and wouldn’t see a doctor without illness, fearing it hinted at bad luck. But times had changed; Shi still wanted reassurance.
