After saying that, Chi Shuyan turned around and left. The ‘blind’ fortune teller had already forgotten that the young lady still owed him money for the divination. After all that, the girl disappeared. Only then did the fortune teller remember the money. His face was livid and very unsightly. He felt that the girl had deliberately said those words just now to get out of paying him. Thinking this, the fortune teller said to the stunned mother and son, “Old Madam, Mr. Cai, that girl just now is a conwoman. Don’t believe her. Don’t worry, I’ve already done a reading for your family: All of you will be happy for the rest of your lives. In less than half a year, your wife will give birth to a big fat kid for you.”
If the fortune teller had said this before, the mother and son would have been happy. However, when they thought of the young lady’s words just now, their hearts felt especially heavy and they left in a daze; it was hard to tell if they believed her or not.
Old Madam Cai was still in a stupor when she and her son returned home. Given her age, she especially believed in these things. At the thought of how the young lady said that the child in her daughter-in-law’s stomach wasn’t her son’s, and that her son would never have any luck with sons for the rest of his life, her lungs were about to explode with anger. She didn’t want to believe the young lady’s words, but the young lady had been very logical and even knew about her son’s divorce.
At the thought of the Cai family raising a son for someone else, the old lady was so angry that her face turned green and she almost couldn’t breathe.
Cai Youcai was a particularly filial son. Seeing that his mother was so angry that she couldn’t breathe, he hurriedly poured her a cup of water and comforted her. “Mom, don’t think too much. That girl must have lied to us just now. Didn’t you hear that divine fortune teller just now? Our Cai family will definitely be joyous and harmonious. My wife will give me a son in less than half a year.”
The old lady seemed convinced by her son, but she was still a little apprehensive. Just then, the door was pushed open, and a woman who was dressed very well and was no older than 30 years old came in.
This woman’s mouth was especially sweet. As soon as she entered and saw the old lady, she beamed and said, “Mom, you’re back? Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I’ll get the housekeeper to make it.” After saying that, she took out a lot of parcels and placed them on the side of the couch. “Mom, look, these are all health supplements I bought for you. Take some when you need to. These things are especially good for your health!”
Old Madam Cai was actually an old lady who wasn’t easy to get along with, but she fell for Li Tian’s tricks. If it were any other woman who had yet to give the Cai family a son after five years, Old Madam Cai would have long made a fuss.
The more filial Li Tian was to the old lady, the better Cai Youcai treated her, so Li Tian had been doing well in the Cai family all these years.
Li Tian thought that once she coaxed the old lady, the latter would immediately act gentle with her as usual, and Cai Youcai would be especially understanding and speak up for her.
But this time, to Li Tian’s surprise, even after using her glib tongue and the health supplements, the old lady and Cai Youcai completely ignored her. Li Tian saw the old lady staring fixedly at her stomach, while Cai Youcai’s expression looked conflicted.
Thinking of the good news from the checkup at the hospital today, not only did Li Tian not tense up, she was even happier. She also knew that the old lady and Cai Youcai had always been anxious for her to have a son. If she had a son, her status in the Cai family would be completely stable, and she would no longer have to worry about Cai Youcai’s ex-wife and two daughters. The Cai family assets would belong to her and her son in the future.
Cai Youcai’s two daughters wouldn’t get a thing. Thinking this, Li Tian felt even more smug and happy. The thing she was most proud of in her life was squeezing Cai Youcai’s ex-wife out of the picture.
In the past, Cai Youcai’s ex-wife’s family had warned her not to go overboard and that she would get her retribution. In the beginning, Li Tian had been a little worried and afraid, but now that so many years had passed, she was doing even better, while Cai Youcai’s ex-wife was doing even worse. Li Tian didn’t believe in retribution at all now.
If there really was retribution, how could she live well now?
Besides, it wasn’t her fault that that woman couldn’t keep her man and couldn’t give birth to a son.
Li Tian despised Cai Youcai’s old-fashioned ex-wife. She had always felt superior in front of Du Shufen. The only thing that was missing was a son; now, however, she was pregnant, and the doctor said that it was most likely a boy. Thinking this, the smile on Li Tian’s face grew wider. She lowered her head and feigned shyness. She suddenly said to the old lady and Cai Youcai, “Mom, Youcai, I have good news.”
When Old Madam Cai and Cai Youcai heard that, their right eyelids twitched slightly. Not long after, they heard Li Tian laughed sweetly. “Mom, you’re talented. I went to the hospital for a checkup today. The doctor said that… I’m pregnant!”
The word “pregnant” from Li Tian’s mouth stunned Old Madam Cai and Cai Youcai. Before the mother and son could feel overjoyed, they remembered the words of the young lady at the blind man’s stall: “I see that there will be a happy event in your family today. Your current wife is most likely pregnant, but it’s not yours.”
Old Madam Cai almost exploded on the spot. Even Cai Youcai almost exploded when he heard Li Tian say that she was pregnant. He was shocked and bewildered.
Neither Old Madam Cai nor Cai Youcai wanted to doubt this good daughter-in-law, but what the young lady said before was really too accurate.
At the thought that the child in Li Tian’s stomach might not be her son’s, and that her Cai family would be raising a son for someone else, Old Madam Cai simply couldn’t stand it.
It was even more unbearable for Cai Youcai, whose dignity as a man was being trampled on.
Li Tian had been the old lady’s good daughter-in-law for five years, and also Cai Youcai’s good wife for five years. While the mother and son felt conflicted, they still couldn’t help but doubt Li Tian.
When Li Tian broke the news and didn’t get the ecstatic reaction she had expected from the old lady and Cai Youcai, she was puzzled, and deliberately added, “The doctor said that it’s most likely a son!”
After Li Tian finished speaking proudly, she didn’t notice that the old lady and Cai Youcai couldn’t squeeze out any smiles. Cai Youcai was afraid that Li Tian would realize that something was wrong, so he found an excuse to send her away. As soon as Li Tian returned to her room, the old lady resisted the urge to faint and immediately couldn’t help but say anxiously, “Hurry, hurry, Youcai, hurry and find out if the child in Li Tian’s stomach belongs to our Cai family. Hurry, hurry!”
