You can’t keep me here every day!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yuanxiu sneered coldly, \"Your mother died fifteen years ago, and you don’t even have a wife, where would a half-month-old child come from?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Short Legs Zhao, \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yuanxiu shook the wooden stick in his hand and gestured toward Qingshui River Village, \"Alright, get lost, next time if you dare come near here or harass respectable women again, I won’t just make you cut grass, I’ll wipe you out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone was as icy as frost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having witnessed his skill, Short Legs Zhao trembled in fear, \"No... no, I wouldn’t dare.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get lost.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, yes, yes.\" Short Legs Zhao hurriedly fled in fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That day, in the afternoon, Li Yuzhu was in the kitchen watching the Second Princess make pancakes when Liu Da Niu arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Li Yuzhu, she immediately put on a distressed look and said, \"I don’t know what’s wrong; I’ve been feeling unwell these past few days, I throw up every time I eat something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at her pale little face, Li Yuzhu suspected something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She comforted Liu Da Niu, \"You seem to be in good spirits, it shouldn’t be anything serious, why don’t you sit down and let me check on you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Da Niu sat down on a small stool in the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuzhu sat across from her, taking her pulse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pulse had a slight anomaly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuzhu felt delighted, as she expected, Liu Da Niu was pregnant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To confirm more accurately, Li Yuzhu didn’t reveal the truth immediately, but instead said, \"Let me check your blood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took a syringe from her space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Da Niu blinked her eyes, looking at the strange transparent tube with a needle, \"What is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To see if you have any major illness.\" Li Yuzhu said with a smile, \"I need a tiny bit of your blood, it won’t hurt much, just as small as a bean.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Da Niu nodded trustingly, \"Alright then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Li Yuzhu’s instructions, she rolled up her sleeve, extended her arm, and closed her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuzhu quickly drew a small amount of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she immediately placed it into her space, letting the equipment automatically detect it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her space was fully automated, and processed data quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, the space relayed the data indicating Liu Da Niu was two weeks pregnant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Da Niu.\" Li Yuzhu said with a smile, \"You can open your eyes now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Da Niu opened her eyes, glanced at the spot where her arm had hurt, and blinked at Li Yuzhu, \"Miss Li, what’s wrong with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuzhu smiled at her, \"You’re not sick; you’re going to have a baby.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Da Niu, in disbelief, looked at Li Yuzhu, \"I... I... I’m going to have a baby? How... how is that possible?\" She touched her flat stomach, not believing, \"Where? How come I haven’t noticed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuzhu laughed and said, \"The baby is not yet a month old; of course, you haven’t felt it. Besides, babies come quietly. You won’t notice his presence until at least three months when the stomach starts to swell a bit. Then by over four months, you’ll feel his presence as he moves inside. Finally, you’ll see him when he’s born after nine and a half months.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Second Princess overheard their conversation and, without washing her face, cheerfully ran over to touch Liu Da Niu’s belly, \"Oh, you have a baby in your tummy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Da Niu blushed, \"The baby came too suddenly, I... I can hardly believe it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuzhu chuckled, \"Sudden vomiting is one of the signs of pregnancy; it’s time for you to pay attention to it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1690,"2026-06-03T14:18:47.883Z",1,"novelbin.me","49f843fc3a3b3dd4a3c897ed070ac09a24a65149c16fb16b03a47d776edf3a95","exile-with-storage-space-family-fortunes-in-the--chapter-165","exile-with-storage-space-family-fortunes-in-the--chapter-163",912,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fexile-with-storage-space-family-fortunes-in-the--cover.jpg"]
