Chapter 93: But Clearly, Uncle Isn’t Dad
She had truly been frightened.
She was still a virgin!
Thinking of this, Yun Qinghuan suddenly realized that she had transmigrated into the original owner’s body. The original owner was indeed a married woman with a child, but she could guarantee that this body was definitely not pregnant. Her period had come just last month.
The older woman also realized she had guessed wrong and said apologetically, “I just instinctively guessed that when I saw you vomiting. Comrade, don’t mind me. I just saw how worried your husband was about you, and your son kept looking at you, so I assumed you were pregnant.”
Especially since Yun Qinghuan’s face was pale and she kept dry-heaving, which looked quite similar to pregnancy symptoms.
Coupled with her man’s worried and caring appearance, the older woman had made a wrong guess.
Yun Qinghuan felt even more awkward after hearing her say that.
She subconsciously looked at Bai Naihan and saw him frowning, one hand gripping the wheelchair’s position, and the other hand circled beside her, not touching her, but effectively preventing the standing people in the vehicle from leaning towards her.
She looked at the enthusiastic older woman in front and opened her mouth to explain, “He’s not my…” husband.
But before she could finish speaking, the man cut her off. He said to the older woman, “Thank you for your concern, ma’am. She’s just not feeling well and gets carsick easily when riding, and carsickness makes her prone to vomiting.”
“Oh, is that so?” The older woman was very warm and directly rummaged through her bag to find her own pickled plums. “These are pickled plums I made for my daughter-in-law. She’s pregnant and doesn’t have much appetite, so she likes to eat these sweet and sour plums to relieve the greasiness. This stuff seems to help with carsickness too. I also get quite carsick, just not as bad as you, miss. Holding a plum in my mouth makes me feel much better.”
She took out quite a few and gave them to Yun Qinghuan. These were plums made from the fruits of her own family’s fruit trees, so they weren’t worth much money, just took some effort to pickle.
Yun Qinghuan looked at the plums and felt her stomach start to produce acid. She hadn’t even eaten them yet, but she already felt the nausea lessening.
Seeing that she hadn’t taken them, the older woman directly said, “Miss, hurry and take them.”
She handed them to Bai Naihan next to her. “Give these to your wife. They’re delicious.”
Bai Naihan glanced at Yun Qinghuan and thanked the older woman after seeing her nod.
Seeing how obedient he was to his “wife,” the older woman’s smile deepened. “You young couple have such a good relationship,” she then looked at the well-behaved and quiet An’an sitting beside them. “The child is also good-looking and really resembles both of you.”
Yun Qinghuan felt even more awkward.
She couldn’t very well accept the older woman’s plums for nothing, so she took out a few milk candies from her pocket and handed them to her. “Ma’am, have some milk candy.”
The milk candies were snacks she had brought. She was secretly glad she had brought them, otherwise, she wouldn’t have had anything to give this older woman.
“Oh dear, how could I? It’s just a few homemade plums, not worth anything!”
The older woman waved her hand, not wanting them. She had given Yun Qinghuan the plums purely out of kindness and because she liked good-looking and polite people. If it had been anyone else she found pleasing to the eye, she would have given them too.
But Yun Qinghuan insisted on her taking the candy, so the older woman reluctantly took two, refusing the rest no matter what. Yun Qinghuan didn’t insist further.
After eating the plums, Yun Qinghuan indeed felt much better. Her stomach wasn’t churning anymore. Although she still found the smell in the air unpleasant, the nausea was gone.
The older woman was also very happy to see that she felt better and enthusiastically told her how to make pickled plums, suggesting that Yun Qinghuan make some herself when she had time so she could take them as snacks when traveling by vehicle in the future.
Yun Qinghuan listened attentively, nodding repeatedly.
She did quite like eating these plums and planned to make some when she had the chance to go back.
The older woman chatted with them the whole way. When they arrived at their destination, she waved goodbye to Yun Qinghuan and the others reluctantly before getting off with her bag.
From the older woman’s words, Yun Qinghuan knew she was from the county and had come specifically to see her daughter-in-law. However, her daughter-in-law didn’t like her very much, so she planned to go back after staying for only a few days.
According to the older woman, her son worked at the steel factory in town.
Hearing that it was a steel factory, Yun Qinghuan subconsciously looked at the man beside her and then at his leg, wondering if he would go back to work at the steel factory after his leg healed this time.
After getting off the bus, Yun Qinghuan looked at the man, somewhat hesitant to speak.
Thinking of how he had interrupted her several times when she wanted to explain to the older woman, she found it really strange.
Before Yun Qinghuan could ask, An’an looked up with a puzzled expression and asked Bai Naihan, “Uncle, why did that grandma say you were my dad?”
An’an had wanted to ask on the bus just now. That grandma kept praising him for being good-looking, and he was naturally happy. But that grandma kept saying he looked like his dad and that Uncle was his dad, but clearly, Uncle wasn’t his dad.
Bai Naihan looked at Bai Jin’an, his gaze softening a lot. He directly touched the little boy’s forehead. “An’an, we only met that grandma once, and we might not see her again in the future. We don’t need to explain so much to her. Some things only get more confusing the more you explain.”
“So, after that grandma mistook me for your dad, Uncle didn’t explain too much. She probably thought I was your dad because you look especially like your dad, and I also happen to look a lot like your dad.”
“Oh,” the little guy said, seeming to understand a little.
“So, Uncle didn’t want outsiders to say bad things about Mom, right?”
There were quite a few people in the village who said bad things about his mom, saying she wasn’t a virtuous woman and had improper relationships with other men. Although An’an didn’t quite understand what “not virtuous” meant, he knew it wasn’t a good word.
Everyone thought he was too young to understand, but he actually did.
Bai Naihan smiled and nodded, praising him, “That’s right, An’an is very smart.”
After explaining to the child, the man looked at Yun Qinghuan. “Sister-in-law, I just felt that there was no need to explain so much to someone we only met once and might not meet again in the future. I always feel like it would only make things worse. You’re not angry, are you?”
Mainly because many people in the carriage had been staring at them. If they explained now that they were just younger brother-in-law and sister-in-law, there would probably be even more surprised looks.
He didn’t want those people to look at her with such uncomfortable gazes.
Yun Qinghuan shook her head. “Not angry.”
She knew he was doing it for her own good too.
Indeed, there was no need to explain so much. Sometimes, white could be painted as black. Even if what she said was true, in the eyes of those who thought dirty thoughts, there must be something improper between her and him.
After getting off the bus, Yun Qinghuan couldn’t tell east from west for a moment, not knowing which way to go.
The man led her in the direction of his right hand. He had come to this hospital for a follow-up visit before, so he naturally knew how to go.
Looking at the man in front, his figure thin but revealing a lean and well-proportioned physique even through his clothes, Yun Qinghuan raised her eyebrows. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but when her younger brother-in-law had explained things just now, he seemed a bit flustered, his eyes darting around and not looking at her.
