This incident with the Niu family made the other families in the compound reflect more on how they educate their children, and it's clear that they've become much stricter with them since then.

Perhaps from this perspective, this is a good thing.

Soon, the matter gradually faded away.

Spring arrived, and planting began in the countryside. Old Man Su was worried, so he went home again to help arrange some of the family's private plots, planting vegetables where needed and farming where needed.

However, when he returned, his father and mother came with him.

When Grandma Su saw the two of them, she immediately frowned.

"What happened? Things are so busy at home right now, why didn't you come over to help out?"

When Su's father heard her ask that, he stammered and couldn't answer.

Grandma Su knew his personality, so she turned to Su's mother and said, "You tell me, what exactly happened?"

Su's mother looked up at her, hesitant and somewhat afraid, but still said, "Well... I just wanted to tell you, Mother, that Mu Tou's wife is pregnant."

"Got it?"

Grandma Su immediately smiled. "Oh, that's fast! How many months has it been? How's your wife's health?"

"It's only been a month, and she's in great health."

Grandma Su was very happy. The addition of a new member to the family meant that the Su family was thriving, which was the best thing ever.

However, after her initial joy, she looked at Su's mother.

"You could have just told your father about this. Why did you have to make the trip yourself? Don't you find it troublesome?"

Upon hearing this, Su's mother lowered her head and remained silent.

Grandma Su could tell from her expression that there must be something else going on.

His brows furrowed again. "Speak, what else is it?"

Su's mother opened her mouth but didn't know what to say. Finally, seeing that Su's mother was about to get angry, she finally revealed her purpose.

"Well... after my wife got pregnant, she had a really bad morning sickness. She kept vomiting after eating. I was thinking of going to take care of her, but she went straight to her own mother instead."

It turned out that Su's mother had been hoping for Mu Tou's wife to get pregnant, so that she could go to the city to take care of her, just like Old Mrs. Su and her sister-in-law.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for so long, she found out that the other party had no intention of contacting her at all and instead sent her own mother to help take care of the child.

Su's mother's wish was dashed, and she was somewhat unwilling to give up, which is why she came to talk to Su's old lady.

Hearing this made Old Mrs. Su very angry!

She pointed at her and said irritably, "Why don't you know how to enjoy life? Do you love serving others that much? Her mother lives in the city and doesn't have to work. Who else would she choose but her? You, a rural mother-in-law she's only met a few times?"

"Alright, you two should go back now. Second brother, you too, stop letting your wife egg you on. Stay home and do your chores properly, don't keep running off to the city."

Upon hearing this, Su's father blushed, but still looked longingly at Yuan Yuan beside him and said, "I... I wasn't persuaded by her to come. I missed Yuan Yuan and came to see him."

As he spoke, he took out the windmill he had made himself from his pocket and handed it to Yuan Yuan, who was looking at him curiously. He said carefully, "Yuan Yuan, here, this is a toy that your grandpa made for you. Take it and play with it."

Yuan Yuan curiously took it. Although the windmill was made of wood, it wasn't heavy. It spun when you blew on it. Yuan Yuan thought it was very fun, and her eyes lit up. She exclaimed, "Thank you, Grandpa!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Su's smile widened. Yuan Yuan was his first grandchild, and he adored her. However, he missed her terribly because he rarely saw her, which is why she came with Mrs. Su this time.

Seeing this, Grandma Su didn't say anything. She let them stay for lunch and only let them leave after he and Yuanyuan had become completely familiar with each other.
