Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies - Chapter 337

Chapter 337: Found out the truth
After all, the vegetables and fruits in her refrigerator alone were enough to sustain the entire team for more than three months. Since she was living a life that was so good, why would she bother with them? If these people felt good after looking down on her because of their own stupid ideas, then let them.

Even if they think of her as a fool, Bai Meiyue wouldn’t lose any flesh from her body. She let out a yawn and closed her eyes before going back to relax her eyes. She was now pregnant and needed a lot of rest.

When Bai Meiyue returned home, she saw Mother Bai working in the kitchen. She was standing against the aisle while humming a soft tune when Bai Meiyue saw her mother cooking the fish ball soup; her eyes softened. When she was young, her mother often made this soup, as it was quite easy to catch fish in the river of the village.

Back then, Bai Meiyue thought that it was too tiring to drink the same thing over and over again. She even condemned her mother for being too poor without realising that her mother was doing her best to fill her stomach.

Her grandmother was an extremely patriarchal woman. Though her two brothers lived a well-off life under that woman, Bai Meiyue was not allowed to drink soup if her grandmother and grandfather were eating meat.

Bai Meiyue walked over to the kitchen and hugged her mother with one arm and said, “Thank you mom—”

She was about to say something more when her nose caught the stench of a rather sharp durian. She turned and looked at the fruit that was sitting on the counter and her expression changed again and again. Finally, she couldn’t resist and turned around to rush to the restroom where she threw up.

Bai Meiyue heaved a few times before wiping her mouth with the back of her hand. However, just as she stood up and washed her hands and mouth, she saw her mother standing behind her with a troubled expression.

Her lips were trembling as she stared at Bai Meiyue who was standing in front of her. Her eyes looked at Bai Meiyue before her face fell and she stared right at Bai Meiyue’s abdomen.

“Mom?”

Bai Meiyue called her mother again as she could sense that there was something that Mother Bai noticed, and from the look on her face, she didn’t like whatever she was seeing.

“Mom?” she called her mother again when she saw that her mother was not speaking.

Though Bai Meiyue didn’t say anything, she knew that her mother must have noticed something. After all, her mother had given birth to more than two children. She must know what was going on with Bai Meiyue, even if the latter was trying her best to hide it.

She was about to tell the truth to her mother, but then Mother Bai turned around on her feet and walked away.

Bai Meiyue: “….”

What was she supposed to do now?

She thought for a while, and after some hesitation, she chased after her mother. She found her mother in the dining room, where she was placing a bowl of hot fish balls on the table.

“Eat. I am feeling a bit tired. So I will rest for a while. You should go and take a rest once you have finished eating as well,” Mother Bai told her before turning to walk to her room.

Though Mother Bai kept her pace steady, anyone could see that she was trying to escape from the dining room. She wanted to say a lot of things to Bai Meiyue, but at the same time, she knew that Bai Meiyue was not a child. Since she could understand what was going on, how could Bai Meiyue not understand? She might even know about her condition better than her mother.

Mother Bai’s heart was filled with sadness and worry.

She had long known that there was something wrong with her daughter, but she never dared to question her because she was scared to hear the truth. It was the kind of fear where she wanted her suspicions to be known, but at the same time, she was too scared.

It was said that when a woman gave birth, she not only gave birth to a child but was also reborn. Giving birth was not a small matter, after all; while giving birth, one foot of a woman was inside hell’s door.

When Mother Bai thought about how Bai Meiyue was vomiting more and more frequently these days, she knew that there was a possibility. But she was too scared to confirm that possibility. Because she was worried that if she talked about the truth about Bai Meiyue’s condition, she would not be able to support her.

She only had one daughter, whom she finally got back from the clutches of that bastard. How could she watch her daughter jump into the pit again? She didn’t dare to do it!

But Mother Bai knew that her daughter would not listen to her. Because if she wanted to abort that child, she would have done it by now!

Bai Meiyue watched her mother leave, and she didn’t know what to say to her anymore. She wanted to confess about her pregnancy to her mother, but she was worried that her mother would definitely lose her temper if she were to do that.

What was more, Bai Meiyue, as a mother, could also understand the anger of her mother. If her son dared to do such a thing, his life would be put at risk, and yet he still dared to do it. Then she too would be so angry that her heart, liver, spleen and everything else would start hurting.

So how could she blame her mother? When she would suffer in the same manner.

With her head down, she sighed and rubbed her forehead before muttering, “What a mess.”
