Chapter 864: Chapter 867: Pregnant?
In the evening, Qiao Duo’er was still pulled out for a walk by Almond.
"Do you know that Young Master Bai’s books that you read all day have made Fourth Master jealous?"
Almond pouted as she spoke.
She had only seen Young Master Bai once, but she could tell at a glance that his intentions toward her Madam were not pure, so she didn’t have a good impression of him.
Being a maid and never having been educated, she knew that coveting someone else’s wife was not a decent thing to do.
Qiao Duo’er rolled her eyes, "I am studying, unlike you, who always have wild imaginations."
Even if they were not Bai Yifan’s manuscripts, she would still be very willing to bury herself in them all day.
"Madam, do you know that overthinking is harmful to one’s health? You need to read less now," Almond said earnestly.
She thought that her Madam should just eat, sleep, and play at her leisure.
Many people envied such a comfortable life.
Qiao Duo’er dismissively said, "I’ve told you, the mind needs to be used often, otherwise it can get rusty and then you become slow-witted.
She certainly didn’t want to really become foolish for three years.
Almond obediently nodded, "Anyway, with me here, you won’t be able to read too much."
Because every so often, she would pull her Madam out for a walk and a breath of fresh air.
Sometimes, she even dragged her Madam to do some embroidery work with her.
As they walked and talked, they unknowingly arrived in front of the Embroidery Room, and Qiao Duo’er took the opportunity to have a look inside.
Fat Aunt and Chao Lian were not professional managers, and now that the Embroidery Room had suddenly expanded, they were both somewhat overwhelmed, so Madam had to come by often.
Lest some people think that, with the boss away, they could slack off.
After looking around, Qiao Duo’er saw that everyone’s enthusiasm had increased lately and that the Embroidery Room was gradually getting on track.
She estimated that in another month or two, she could step back and let it run itself. 𝚗ovp𝚞b.𝚌om
"Sister Duo’er, come with me for a moment, I have something to tell you," Chao Lian said with her head down.
Qiao Duo’er glanced at Chao Lian’s belly and had a good idea of what it was about.
Chao Lian was a pillar of the Embroidery Room, but if there really was a situation, she couldn’t stop her.
Clearly, between the two, family was more important because that was the ultimate destination.
Work, on the other hand, was different; if you’re capable, you’ll find opportunities sooner or later, and you might even encounter better ones.
Chao Lian stomped her foot, "It’s not what you think, come inside and we’ll talk."
It was hard for her to speak about it with so many people around.
Qiao Duo’er was skeptical but still followed Chao Lian into the office. Still, Chao Lian hesitated.
Um... she should have let Erhu and Brother Hong say it.
"There’s no one else here now, is there anything you can’t talk about?"
Qiao Duo’er was very gentle, afraid to frighten Chao Lian.
After hesitating for a long time, Chao Lian finally spoke in a low voice, "Sister Duo’er, that... could you sell me a few contraceptive patches?"
This was a shy topic, one she had wanted to talk about for a long time, but she could never bring herself to say it.
But now she had to speak up.
Because this time her period was several days late, which had worried her terribly.
Qiao Duo’er was somewhat surprised, "You and Erhu don’t want a child now?"
"Yeah, we feel it’s not the right time. Erhu and I both want to give our child a better life," Chao Lian explained.
Currently, she was busy all day in the Embroidery Room, and Erhu was preoccupied with hunting. If they had another little one, they would not be able to take proper care of them.
If she didn’t go to work in the Embroidery Room, they’d struggle financially to support a child.
So no matter what, the child would ultimately suffer, and that was something they didn’t want to see.
If possible, they even wanted their child to go to school and become someone useful.
