Farming Space Makes Me Rich

Xiao Lingyu suppressed her distraught state of mind and returned to her room with quick steps.

Mother Xiao followed closely behind. Once she entered the room, she closed the door.

Mother Xiao asked very seriously, “Yu ‘Er, what are your thoughts right now?”

Xiao Lingyu asked somewhat irritably, “Mom, what do you mean?”

“Child, you know what I mean. Why are you trying to escape this?” Mother Xiao took this matter very seriously. This concerned her daughter’s lifelong happiness.

These two men did not mind that their daughter was pregnant with someone else’s child. They even expressed their sincerity in front of everyone. This was worth considering.

They were from powerful families, but most importantly, they truly liked Xiao Lingyu. As long as they could give her happiness, it was good enough.

Mother Xiao continued, “Both Gong Tianhao and Yan Siming don’t mind the situation about your stomach. They both want to marry you.

“I think both of them like you. A girl has to marry eventually. Yu ‘Er, listen to your mother. Why don’t you pick one from these two?”

When Mother Xiao said this, she sounded very sincere. Her tone subconsciously revealed her concern for her daughter. At first, Father Xiao and Mother Xiao were against keeping the child. However, when their daughter insisted on keeping it, there was nothing they could do.

As for the matters of marriage, like what their daughter said, if the man really liked her, they wouldn’t mind her condition. Now, there were two men who didn’t mind her situation and wanted to marry her.

This comforted Mother Xiao. She knew that her daughter would be well-taken care of no matter who she chose.

Xiao Lingyu knew that her mother was only concerned about her, but at that moment, her mind was distracted, and she couldn’t take in any advice. She told her mother, “Mom, I’m very confused right now. I want to be alone. Can you leave me be?”

“Okay.” Mother Xiao nodded. “Yu ‘Er, just promise me you’ll think about it.”

Mother Xiao went out and closed the door.

After Mother Xiao left, Xiao Lingyu finally calmed down. She sat by the bed and trembled. Her face was pale, and her fingertips were white.

‘They have found out! What should I do now? Shall I wait for the child to be born and then let them take him away? No, they will not take away Xiao Tong!’

She refused to let Xiao Tong be born into a life without a mother. He already had that in his previous life. She couldn’t repeat the same mistake again. She owed Xiao Tong too much. Even if she had to use her entire life to make up for it, she would. So what should she do now?

She didn’t think Gong Tianhao was sincere. Since they already knew the child in her stomach was the Gong Family’s, then his purpose was clear. He wanted to steal the child away from her.

Xiao Lingyu was trapped in that mental loophole. She didn’t even have time to think about Yan Siming. Yan Siming had always asked her to be his mistress, but now he wanted her to be his wife? What madness.

…

When Mother Xiao came out, Old Master Gong was the most concerned.

He asked anxiously, “Qiuying, is Lingyu Alright?”

Mother Xiao shook her head and said, “She’s fine. She said that she was tired and wanted to rest for a while!”

Old Master Gong nodded. “That’s good, but a hurt stomach is no small matter for a pregnant woman. You must keep a close eye on her!”

Everyone, “…” Why is Old Master Gong so concerned about Xiao Lingyu’s child? Because his grandson wanted to pursue Xiao Lingyu, he had decided to treat the child in Xiao Lingyu’s stomach as the descendant of the Gong Family too?

Old Master Yan, Xiao Zhengyang, and his wife all came to this conclusion.

Old Master Gong had always cared about Xiao Lingyu, but not to this extent. In the past, he cared about her like how an elder would care about their junior, but now Old Master Gong cared about Xiao Lingyu like she was his family.

Xiao Zhengyang and his wife were relieved.

If that was really the case, compared to the unfaithful Yan Siming and the ambiguous Old Master Yan, the Gong family was obviously a better choice.

The Yan family had come over to propose due to a misunderstanding, but this misunderstanding had forced the hands of these two young men.

Xiao Lingyu did not give them a reply, but the two young men, or rather, the two families, had made their stances clear.

Father Xiao and Mother Xiao observed everything clearly. But for now, they didn’t say anything. They would respect their daughter’s choice.

Old Master Gong felt more at ease after hearing Xiao Lingyu was fine.

Then, he repeated what he had said to Xiao Zhengyang to Chen Qiuying.

He said, “Qiuying, this brat of my family really likes your girl. You won’t stop him from pursuing your girl, right?”

Chen Qiuying was slightly stunned, then she shook her head and said with a smile, “Grandfather, this is a business between the young generation. I don’t object to Tianhao pursuing my Lingyu. If you and Tianhao don’t mind that the child in Lingyu’s stomach has an unknown father, I actually am in support of Tianhao.”

Grandfather Gong and Gong Tianhao’s eyes lit up. The grandfather and grandson shook their heads in unison and said, “Of course, we don’t mind!”

How could they mind? The child in Xiao Lingyu’s stomach belonged to the Gong Family.

Mother Xiao smiled, “In that case, I’ll support Tianhao. But as parents, all we want is our children to be happy, right?”

“That’s right,” Old Master Gong said with a smile. As he said this, he glanced at Yan Zheng from the corner of his eyes.

When Yan Siming confessed that he liked Xiao Lingyu and wanted to marry her, although Yan Zheng didn’t say anything, his behavior and expression showed his stance. He didn’t approve of it. But his reaction was logical and normal. Why would he allow his grandson to marry a woman who was carrying a bastard child?

Xiao Zhengyang and his wife could understand this, so they didn’t blame Old Master Yan.

But of course, it also meant that they treated Old Master Gong with more enthusiasm than they did Old Master Yan.

Xiao Zhengyang said, “Yes. Children are the debts of their parents’ past lives. As parents, we’ll worry about them our whole lives.”

Old Master Gong nodded in agreement and said, “Yes, you’re right.”

Old Master Yan didn’t say a word.

Yan Siming was a little disappointed.

But he would never give up.

Xiao Lingyu hadn’t made her choice yet, so he still had many opportunities. This time, he really wanted to marry Xiao Lingyu.

Yan Ruyu sat in the corner like a quail. She was the one who caused the misunderstanding even though she didn’t do it on purpose. She had inadvertently halted her cousin’s path to true love.

She looked at her eldest cousin. When he noticed her, she clenched her fists and whispered to him, “Brother, you can do it. I support you!”

She had no idea her cousin could be so romantic.

To Yan Ruyu, she didn’t mind that Xiao Lingyu was pregnant. Xiao Lingyu didn’t do it on purpose.

Xiao Lingyu was the victim. She was set up and drugged. That was why she slept with an unknown man.

As for why she did not abort the child, Yan Ruyu believed Xiao Lingyu had her own reasons. Perhaps she would not be able to carry more children if she aborted the child. The risk was too high. If Yan Ruyu were faced with that situation, she would make the choice similar to Xiao Lingyu.

Yan Siming saw the encouragement Yan Ruyu gave him, and the corners of his mouth twitched as he smiled.

It was great. There was someone who supported him.

Old Master Gong chatted with Xiao Zhengyang for a while before he remembered the purpose of being there.

Old Master Gong asked, “Xiao Yan, you called me earlier and told me that you came to Taoyuan Village to propose a marriage for your grandson. Is it towards Zhengyang’s family?”

The corners of Yan Siming’s mouth twitched.

‘Old Master Gong must be doing this on purpose. Plus, the marriage proposal has failed. Why would the old master bring it up?’

Of course, he had to bring it up because it meant that his grandson had a chance now.

Old Master Yan said a little embarrassedly, “Old Chief, don’t bring that up again. This is all a misunderstanding. It was my granddaughter who made a big mistake.”

Yan Ruyu, “…”

Technically, it was not a misunderstanding. Her brother did like Xiao Lingyu. It was their grandfather who didn’t approve in the end.

Old Master Gong asked with some interest, “Oh, what big mistake?”

Old Master Yan sighed, “Old chief, let’s not talk about this anymore.” He was too embarrassed, especially since the girl’s parents were right there.

Old Master Gong knew when to pause. He nodded and said, “Alright, let’s not talk about it anymore. Actually, we came here in a hurry because we heard that you were here to propose marriage.”

Everyone, “…”

Old Master Yan, “…”

Didn’t you say you’d stop? Why are you continuing this topic?

Old Master Yan said helplessly, “Old chief, does this mean that you rushed here to stop me?” He was familiar with his old chief. His old chief was broad-minded.

Old Master Gong nodded and said very honestly, “Yes, I came here to stop you. This little brat of mine likes Lingyu a lot. The brat’s parents passed away a long time ago, so of course, I have to do something for him.”

Old Master Yan, “…”

‘Old Chief, is it really good for you to spoil your grandson like this? Aren’t you afraid that the people in the capital will laugh at you if your grandson married a ruined woman?

‘The number one young master of the capital brought home a ruined woman and a bastard child with an unknown father?’

Old Master Yan once again admired the old chief’s magnanimity.

He smiled and said, “Lingyu is indeed a good child, and she is also very beautiful. It is only right for her to be liked by these two children.” He picked the positives to say. He was at the girl’s home. He couldn’t say that he thought the ruined child was not good enough for his family, could he?

Old Master Gong nodded. “Lingyu is indeed a good child. Xiao Yan, you might not know this, but Lingyu is also very capable.”

“Oh? How is that so?” Old Master Yan asked.

It was not easy to get the old chief’s praise. Xiao Lingyu had to be extraordinary to be praised by the chief like this.

Old Master Gong asked, “Do you see the crowds at the village entrance?”

“Yes.”

“They are all here to pick strawberries. There has been an endless stream of visitors. Lingyu planted all those strawberries. Her strawberries on six Mu of land has already earned her three to four million RMB.”

“Three to four million RMB?” When the Yan Siblings heard this number, they were extremely surprised. “That much?”

Xiao Zhengyang said with a smile, “This is all thanks to Old Master and Tianhao. If you didn’t buy our strawberries at such a high price, we wouldn’t have such a high-income number.”

He was telling the truth.

At this moment, Mother Xiao said, “Siming, we sent you some strawberries two days ago for you to try. Did you receive them?”

Yan Siming frowned and asked, “Auntie, I didn’t receive them. Where did you send them to?”

Mother Xiao said, “I heard from Lingyu that they were sent to the Yan group’s chairman’s office. The transport company said that you’ve received them.”

Yan Siming smiled and said, “Okay.. I’ll go back to look.”
