Chapter Forty-Eight: Unexpected "Joy"!
A few days after the official launch of the supper food stall.
The business of "Jingshui Pavilion" is becoming more and more popular, and it has reached the point where there are still new customers patronizing every day.
Since the last time he had a deflated banquet, Li Guangrun no longer poached people at high prices, and the guys in the store were quickly replenished.
Therefore, Liu Mo will simply set up morning and evening shifts.
During the day, he is the shopkeeper, Xin'er is the chef, and the operation of the restaurant is normal.
After nightfall, Wang Xiaoqi is the lobby manager, the night master of "Jingshui Pavilion"!
The barbecue is not complicated, and there is no need for too professional chefs, Liu Mo and Xin'er can have a good rest.
After receiving Zheng Yuanqiao's guidance, Xin'er's cooking skills have become more and more proficient, and in addition to home-cooked stir-fry, she has learned a lot of signature dishes from Zheng Yuanqiao.
The popularity of the late-night food stalls has also made business much better during the day.
Lin Shiqi calculates that she can make a small profit by relying on her daytime business alone.
As for the business of late-night food stalls?
It can be said that as long as the status quo can be maintained for half a year, in March of the following year, Liu Mo can open another restaurant of the same scale!
With such a hot business, Liu Mo quickly handed over his first "performance".
When the tax money was handed over to Wu Shifeng, the other party's stunned appearance made Liu Mo even have the urge to shoot a video and post it to Moments.
On that day, Wu Shifeng also proposed to introduce a big man to Liu Mo in the coming year.
Big shot? Will it be the county governor of Rongcheng?
Liu Mo remembered that about the prince of Rongcheng County, Wu Shifeng deliberately avoided it every time he mentioned it, and this time was no exception.
This operation made Liu Mo even more curious.
…
Unconsciously, two months have passed since the Midyear Festival, and Liu Mo's first winter in the Great Xia Dynasty has quietly come.
Banyan City is in the north of the Great Xia Dynasty, and it is only in early winter, and the sky begins to drift with fine snow.
When he got up early in the morning and walked outside the door, Liu Mo felt the snowflakes falling on his face, and when he touched his skin, it melted, like a gentle rain.
In such weather, the barbecue with beer is a little inconsistent.
Liu Mo naturally wouldn't recommend these two things in the winter, he had already thought of a countermeasure: "Hot pot!" ”
Hot pot is the main thing, and the skewers are sold as side dishes.
At the end of the busy day, Liu Mo held a meeting, planning to make plans for the winter. found that Xin'er was frowning, and wanted to speak several times, but she forcibly held back her words.
He felt strange and asked a few times, but Xin'er still shook her head.
The meeting was not over yet, but Liu Mo found that Xin'er had left early.
Apparently something's wrong!
When I came to Xin'er's room, I saw her sitting on the edge of the bed, preoccupied.
"What's wrong? My dear daughter-in-law! Liu Mo sat down beside her and kissed her lightly on the cheek.
Xin'er lowered her head and clenched her fists.
"Husband, I want to go back to Linyang!"
"Back to Linyang?" Liu Mo was surprised. "What's the matter?"
Xin'er shook her head and fell silent.
Is it because I'm too busy this time and snub her? Or maybe it's because of the mandarin birds?
"Haha, Mandarin Ander, she is straightforward and fast-hearted, but her nature is not bad." Liu Mo hugged her and leaned on his shoulder, "Ming'er, I'll take you out for a walk." You know, the jewelry store in Dongshi has a batch of new goods, but it's beautiful. ”
"Hmm—" Xin'er bowed her head again. Xin'er has enough jewelry! ”
Hey? Girls aren't interested in jewelry? Liu Mo asked in surprise, "Something?" ”
"Husband, let me go back to Linyang!"
"What are these words?" Liu Mo raised his tone, "You call me a husband, you are a husband at the beginning of the day, what can't you tell me?" Let's talk about it, it's a big thing, and I, Liu Mo, are on my shoulder! ”
Xin'er frowned, and then she spoke: "Husband... Since the last time I was married to you, the concubine has not had a menstrual affair for more than two months!"
As she spoke, she took Liu Mo's hand and gently touched her slightly bulging belly!
At this touch, Liu Mo suddenly understood in seconds: Xin'er, she is pregnant!
At this moment, he was overjoyed!! "I'm going to be a dad, hahaha!"
Immediately the image of a baby babbling and calling his father came to mind.
In addition to being excited, Liu Mo immediately kissed Xin'er several times.
But in the next second, he also reacted, and suddenly frowned.
The rules of the Great Xia Dynasty... The first child had to be born for me by Lin Shiqi, and I couldn't change it forcibly!
Although the old lady is very optimistic about me, Lin Shiqi also treats me as a master.
But, no matter what, I can't escape my identity!
I'm just a son-in-law! This is the status quo that cannot be changed!
"What the hell is this!" Liu Mo stood up, walked to the window alone, opened the window, and let the cold wind whistling around him.
"Husband, let me get out of here, I will live with the child by myself!"
"How can this work? You orphans and widows, how do you live! As he spoke, he turned to face her, his eyes cloudy and his tone full of doubt.
Of course, Liu Mo couldn't agree to such a request, how could he abandon his wife and children!
"Now that you're pregnant, take a good rest, don't think nonsense, I'll think of a foolproof solution!"
Although he said so, Liu Mo was at a loss at the moment.
It was too unexpected to be out of his plan.
"Husband, Sister Lin, if she is willing to accept me, it is already something that Xin'er can't even dream of." Xin'er said with tears in her eyes, "Moreover, even if she can accommodate the child in my belly, the Lin family can't accommodate !!."
Xin'er is not wrong at all, Liu Mo also understands his eldest wife, she is not a virgin, last time about Xin'er's room, although he didn't say it, he knew what he thought in his heart.
With the relationship between the two, she could stop Liu Mo and give Xin'er a sum of silver to make Xin'er disappear completely.
But out of love for Liu Mo, she made concessions and fulfilled Liu Mo's vision of not being a scumbag.
But this time was different.
Accepting a concubine is a small matter, but the inheritance right is a big matter!
If Xin'er gave birth to a daughter, it's okay, if it's a son, the Great Xia Dynasty is orderly and respectful.
According to the rules, Liu Mo's family business has a share of Xin'er's son.
Even if Our Lady of Lin Shiqi possessed her, the entire Lin family would not agree.
Drain the child? Even more unlikely!
First of all, even in modern times with advanced medical standards, abortion may cause lifelong infertility. The medical level of the Great Xia Dynasty was not high, and lifelong infertility was relatively mild, and serious ones were more likely to be life-threatening.
Again, the Great Xia Dynasty was in turmoil for many years, and the court issued a law that eighteen men and sixteen women were guilty of not marrying.
The purpose is to recuperate, encourage the common people to have more children, replenish the population, and restore national strength.
At this critical moment, do you engage in abortion?
It is no exaggeration to say that once someone reports it, from the prescriber, to the parents, and even those who do not report it.
Catch them all, first parade through the streets, then behead them, and finally hang the corpses on the city walls as an example.
One last key point.
In the absence of any of the above, it is impossible for Liu Mo to be a scumbag, and making such a decision is detrimental to Yin Virtue!
One head, two big!
In any case, this news must be told to Lin Shiqi as soon as possible!!
