Marrying a White Snake Wife is Super Cool

Chapter 345: Chapter 196: The Later an Egg Hatches, the More Bizarre It Is

Su Liyan rubbed her still-drowsy eyes. Sunlight filtered through the paper-paned window, scattering across the floor.

Su Liyan pulled her clothes from the foot of the kang bed, changed out of her light purple sleepwear, and sat down at her vanity to get ready.

A wide variety of cosmetics were laid out. Besides the rouge and powders gifted by her two aunts, there were also some cosmetics handmade by Lu Yuan himself—things you couldn’t find in any cosmetics shop.

Su Liyan sat properly before the bronze mirror, looking at her makeup-free face. She pouted her lips and struck a few poses, admiring herself.

’Sure enough, a husband’s nourishment really makes a difference.’ Su Liyan pinched her own cheek. It was supple and moist, her fair skin glowing with a rosy tint. It felt so plump you could squeeze water out of it.

Su Liyan’s lips were like large, ripe cherries—glossy, full, and vibrant. The corners of her mouth curved up slightly in a faint, almost-there smile, making her look all the more gentle and lovely.

Su Liyan only needed a touch of makeup to make her lovely face even more captivating.

After giving birth, Su Liyan radiated an even stronger feminine charm.

With her long hair down, Su Liyan gazed at her reflection in the mirror and mumbled, "Honestly, Lu Yuan, why didn’t you wake me? Did you think taking me out would bring you shame or something?"

Su Liyan’s door was pushed open with a CREAK.

At first glance, Su Liyan saw no one. Then she looked down and saw her daughter, Bengbeng.

Forgetting about putting up her hair, Su Liyan stood and scooped Bengbeng into her arms.

Bengbeng kicked her little legs and clamored, "Mommy, put me down!"

Su Liyan was both surprised and delighted. Her daughter’s speech had become more and more fluent lately.

Just yesterday, she could barely manage a few steps; today, she had actually walked all the way over by herself.

Su Liyan asked happily, "Where’s your grandma?"

Bengbeng babbled, "Grandma is in her room. I walked over here by myself."

Su Liyan listened patiently to Bengbeng, and at the same time, she could feel her mother using a Technique to scan the entire Zhao Mansion.

Su Liyan didn’t go out to call for her mother. Since her mother was using the Technique, she would soon scan this room.

Su Liyan guessed her mother was looking for her granddaughter.

Just as mother and daughter were talking, Su Liyan’s mother arrived, gasping for air. She leaned against the doorframe of Su Liyan’s room, panting heavily like a fish out of water.

Su Liyan’s mother had turned to find her granddaughter wasn’t on the bed, nor was she in the room. She had panicked and started searching everywhere.

’I’m looking after the baby for my daughter and son-in-law, and I managed to lose her? My daughter will complain me to death! How will I ever face my son-in-law after this?’

Not used to employing her Technique at home, Su Liyan’s mother had searched her own room and the surrounding area thoroughly but still couldn’t find her granddaughter.

Just a moment ago, Su Liyan’s mother had felt her blood pressure spike, and only then did she resort to using her Technique.

Su Liyan’s mother patted her chest and said, her heart still racing, "This little rascal, how did she slip out on her own? She really gave me a cold sweat."

After speaking, Su Liyan’s mother fanned her collar, trying to let as much air as possible pass through the valley of her chest.

It had to be said, despite Su Liyan’s mother’s age, what was supposed to be firm was still firm, not sagging in the slightest. Her mature charm hadn’t faded one bit.

Only after she finished speaking did Su Liyan’s mother realize that her granddaughter had actually managed to walk so far within the mansion, and even knew the way to her own mother’s room.

Su Liyan replied, "It’s alright, Mom. The baby is getting bigger now, and no one can just snatch her from inside the Zhao Mansion."

Su Liyan’s mother said, "Bigger? She’s only four or five months old! A baby this small is a rare treasure to people from the backwoods."

Around here, the poorer the place, the more children people have, hoping for more hands to work when they grow up.

Those who couldn’t have children would either adopt one from a relative or from a family that couldn’t afford to raise them, or they would resort to some unsavory, underhanded methods.

Su Liyan’s mother took her granddaughter from her daughter’s arms, pinching her little cheek and saying, "See? Our Bengbeng is so lovely and tender, how could anyone not want her?"

This just goes to show how grandparents dote on their grandchildren. Su Liyan trusted her daughter to her mother’s care, and her mother truly cherished her granddaughter. It was just that Bengbeng had suddenly learned to walk and slipped out in the blink of an eye.

Seeing how her mother was doting on Bengbeng, Su Liyan said, "Mom, it’s been a while since we went back to the village, hasn’t it? I wonder how Dad is doing at home."

Ever since Su Liyan had married well, her mother carried herself with more confidence. She said, "The wheat and corn have all been harvested by now. He’s probably at home tilling the fields. It’s time to plant the winter wheat."

Crops like corn and wheat are the easiest to handle in modern times. The entire process of tilling and sowing is mechanized, so people don’t have to put in much effort.

’As if the Divine Ling Empire had such advanced machinery.’

The only related pieces of advanced agricultural equipment were the few wheat harvesters Lu Yuan had invented back in the summer and the corn shellers that were already being mass-produced.

As for tilling machines and wheat planters, they didn’t exist yet. Aside from what was in Lu Yuan’s brain, the people of this era couldn’t even imagine such things.

Su Liyan said, "Mom, why don’t we make a trip back to the village? We can help till the fields, and I’m sure Dad misses his granddaughter by now."

"We can’t be a bother to our son-in-law. The two of us can just take Bengbeng and go back. Your husband has a lot to do," Su Liyan’s mother said.

Su Liyan replied, "Okay, no problem."
