Chapter 2723 - 2741: Will Kill You

"To put it bluntly, they’re practically one foot in the grave yet still claim they’re young, still a baby, and don’t want to have kids. It makes us so mad we don’t even want to bother with them anymore."

The neighborhood auntie looked at Jane Sampson with an envious expression, thinking of how obedient other people’s kids seemed to be. "You’re so good-looking, and James Black is so handsome. Your kid will be especially beautiful. In the future, when you walk into the great courtyard, every household will be chasing after your baby, inviting the little one to visit our houses."

"When the child is born, we’ll have to buy some tasty treats to keep at home so that when the baby comes, we’ll have something delicious to offer."

Jane Sampson gently touched her belly, feeling inexplicably envious.

Being a little baby is truly a blessing, not even born yet, and people are already thinking of buying him treats.

Jane Sampson whispered softly to the baby in her belly, "We’ll enjoy the blessings together. You have to be a dutiful baby in the future, sharing delicious treats with mom, or else I won’t be fond of you."

Auntie stood right next to Jane Sampson, so she overheard everything clearly. Seeing Jane’s envious expression, Auntie covered her mouth, giggling secretly.

What a young new mother who’s yet to grow up.

After walking the dog, Jane and Auntie strolled around the great courtyard a few times before heading home. The morning sun gradually warmed up. Once back home, Jane placed her coat on the sofa and took a look at her mobile phone, realizing that walking the dog had taken over forty minutes.

Jane Sampson glanced at her mobile phone and noticed there were a lot of messages in the group chat with her childhood friends.

There were also many messages tagging her.

Jane Sampson opened the group and immediately saw two eye-catching words.

Fat fish.

Chen Dong, I’ll kill you! — James Black’s wife.

Chen Dong had, at some point, taken a photo of her walking the dog and posted it in the group, even photoshopping the words "fat fish" onto the photo.

This photo resonated with many people, and the group, full of people who love to watch the drama, were all tagging everyone to make a video call.

Nina Rice, who hadn’t appeared in a while, laughed exaggeratedly, sending a string of super exaggerated laughing emojis, making Jane Sampson want to rush over and thrash her.

You ruthless devils, Chen Dong, you just wait. I’m coming over with a knife to find you! — James Black’s wife.

After sending the message, Jane Sampson called Nina Rice.

When Jane Sampson had returned, Nina Rice was busy with a case, so they hadn’t had a chance to meet. Nina was in the countryside, most of the time unreachable by phone, and in a remote small village, not to mention having internet access.

"Fat fish, hahaha, your endearing nickname, no matter how I hear it, sounds particularly cute." As soon as Nina picked up the phone, she burst into laughter at Jane Sampson, "Haven’t seen you for a few days; how did you manage to gain so much weight? Let me tell you, I lost four catties when I came back this time."

"Was this case really tricky?" Jane Sampson asked, "You weren’t even fat to begin with, and yet you lost four catties, suffering so much?"

"It was indigestion. Arriving at the village, I had diarrhea for several days. If you say the case was tricky, well, not exactly. But if you say it wasn’t tricky, well, it was. The plaintiff in my current case had been sold into the deep mountains by human traffickers when she was younger. This time, we mainly fought for her child’s custody rights. Fortunately, the case was resolved, and the child was awarded to her for custody."

"If you hadn’t gone to that village, you wouldn’t believe our nation still has such impoverished and backward places. It’s hard to believe such places still exist where not all three meals can be filled."
