229: I think I'm pregnant.

Under the vigorous push of Lin Zifeng, one week later, the public security and procuratorial departments filed a lawsuit with the Court.

The parents of these individuals all came to the Yushu County Court, though Liu Fushan, Li Dajiang, and He Lisheng did not show up.

None of these people were short on money; they actively made civil compensations and paid the corresponding fines.

In accordance with legal provisions, the Court sentenced the principal offender Liu Yufei to nine months in prison, He Dong and Li Hua to six months in prison, and the other accomplices to prison terms ranging from two to four months.

After a week of detention, these young masters were much better behaved.

They understood in their hearts that after such a long time, their parents hadn't been able to get them out, and now that they had been sentenced to actual prison time, it meant that Lin Zifeng's status as County Magistrate was not simple.

They were bad, but not stupid. Someone had already hinted to them in advance not to appeal, otherwise, the results might be even worse.

Therefore, they honestly accepted the verdict.

This case was settled, and the Public Security Bureau announced the handling results to the whole county, while also delivering the compensation from the perpetrators' families to Li Li and the others from the film crew.

Li Li and the others didn't care about that money, but it was a matter of attitude, so they expressed their gratitude to the County Party Committee and County Government of Yushu County as well as The political and legal departments.

During the half-day break for the crew, Li Li also took the key members of the crew to specifically present a silk banner to the County Public Security Bureau to express their gratitude.

It could be said that this case was perfectly resolved, and from then on, no one dared to mess with the Xianxia Drama Film Crew again.

However, some people held a grudge against Lin Zifeng, which was something Lin Zifeng himself had anticipated.

He knew that wanting to handle certain matters fairly meant offending people was unavoidable. Even so, he would not regret it; otherwise, it would go against his original intention for embarking on his official career.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed. It was now early July, the hottest season of the year.

Early on a Saturday morning, Lin Zifeng and Chen Yuxi sat opposite each other, eating breakfast together.

Chen Yuxi had only eaten a few bites when she covered her mouth and ran toward the bathroom. Immediately, the sound of her retching echoed from the bathroom.

Lin Zifeng quickly followed her into the bathroom, gently patting her back while saying, "What's wrong, wifey? Did you eat something that upset your stomach? We basically don't eat leftovers at home, so it shouldn't be food poisoning!"

Chen Yuxi rinsed her mouth, feeling much better, and then turned to walk out of the bathroom.

"Hubby, I didn't eat anything bad. I think I'm pregnant; my period didn't come last month," Chen Yuxi said with a happy face.

Hearing Chen Yuxi's answer, Lin Zifeng immediately reacted and said with pleasant surprise, "Wifey, are you saying I'm going to be a dad? You're carrying our little baby?"

Chen Yuxi nodded and said with a smile, "It's very likely, but to get a definite result, we still need to go for a prenatal checkup."

Hearing what Chen Yuxi said, Lin Zifeng's heart was filled with immense joy. He reached out and pulled Chen Yuxi into his arms, happily spinning her around while excitedly saying, "Wifey, that's wonderful! We're going to be parents. I'm just so happy!"

Chen Yuxi gently patted his shoulder and said coquettishly, "Put me down quickly. If you keep spinning, I'll get dizzy."

Lin Zifeng finally realized, and carefully set her down.

Excited and happy, the two of them no longer had the mood to eat. Lin Zifeng tidied up the dining table, and they went straight out and downstairs.

After fastening the seatbelt for Chen Yuxi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, Lin Zifeng got into the car and drove straight to the County Hospital.

Lin Zifeng brought Chen Yuxi for a prenatal checkup, keeping it low-key without alerting anyone.

But they were still recognized by some medical staff, so the director of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department personally performed the prenatal checkup for Chen Yuxi. Before long, the hospital president and two vice presidents also came over to Lin Zifeng.

The president invited Lin Zifeng to rest in his Office, but he directly refused.

Soon, the results of the prenatal checkup came out. The director of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department said with a beaming face, "Congratulations, County Magistrate. Ms. Chen has been pregnant for eight to nine weeks. Both the baby and Ms. Chen are very healthy, and some pregnancy symptoms are completely normal."

Lin Zifeng immediately expressed his thanks! He was so happy that he couldn't suppress the upturned corners of his mouth.

Others also offered their congratulations to the couple. After responding to everyone one by one, they left the County Hospital accompanied by the crowd seeing them off.

After returning home, the two of them separately called their respective families to share the happy news.

Mr. and Mrs. Lin Jiahua and Mr. and Mrs. Chen Yuanhua were ecstatic upon receiving this news; for them, it was absolutely wonderful news.

Chen Yuqing even tried to persuade them to let Chen Yuxi return to the provincial capital to nurture the pregnancy. Her reason was very simple: the conditions in the provincial capital were superior to Yushu County in all aspects, especially medical care.

There was one more thing she didn't say, which was that she had experience in giving birth.

Lin Zifeng said he would respect Chen Yuxi's choice, but Chen Yuxi was a bit hesitant because she didn't want to be separated from Lin Zifeng.

However, having been in Yushu County for such a long time, she hadn't returned to the provincial capital once, and she missed her family a bit.

So her reply was to wait for a while before deciding.

Lin Jiahua excitedly called his parents to share the happy news. The Lin family had only one heir for generations, so for the Lin family, this was absolutely wonderful news.

Lin Zhenqiang and Li Lan spent over half an hour on the phone instructing Mr. and Mrs. Lin Jiahua, telling the couple they must take good care of Chen Yuxi.

If it weren't for Li Lan's advanced age, she would have come over to take care of Chen Yuxi herself.

It was only when he heard that Lin Jiahua was going to help Zhang Chunhua stew chicken soup that Lin Zhenqiang hung up the phone.

Before noon, Zhang Chunhua arrived with chicken soup, held Chen Yuxi's hand, and instructed her on matters to pay attention to in all aspects.

While instructing Chen Yuxi, she would also remind Lin Zifeng a few things from time to time.

From then on, Zhang Chunhua would stew various tonics in different ways every day and deliver them to them.

Chen Yuxi refused a few times, but couldn't say no, which made her feel touched while also feeling a bit helpless.

More than ten days passed quickly. One day after Chen Yuqing got off work, just as she walked out of the company gate, she saw Li Jing walking toward her.

Seeing her mother walking toward her, Chen Yuqing asked in surprise, "Mom, why are you here?"

The reason she asked this was because Li Jing rarely came to her company.

"Your Father already called me in advance; he has reception work arranged tonight and will be back very late. I was bored at home alone, so I came here to find you. Being home alone, I don't even feel like eating dinner."

Li Jing stated the purpose of her visit.

"Mom, then I'll join you for dinner. I'll treat you to eat out," Chen Yuqing said while stepping forward to take Li Jing's arm, wanting to get in the car with her mother.

"Yuqing, I don't want to eat out. You've bought the house for such a long time, and I haven't been there once! I don't even know where it is. Let's go back and cook together. I've already told Your Father in advance; tonight Mom will stay with you, and we mother and daughter can have a good chat," Li Jing said while getting into the car.
