Everyone knows that He Jiuniang loves to sleep in, but it's already quite late today.

Since there's no school today and everyone went to bed late last night, everyone is getting up later today, and the practice time is longer than usual. So, He Jiuniang should have gotten up much earlier.

Lu Baichuan's smile froze for a moment, then he coaxed his son, "Your mother was tired from traveling yesterday, let her sleep a little longer."

"But isn't Mother's health always very good? Did she catch a chill while sleeping in the car yesterday and feel unwell?"

The dog asked earnestly, mainly because children are simple-minded and genuinely concerned about He Jiuniang's health.

"No, she...she's feeling fine...uh, no, I mean your mother is alright, don't worry, I'll go call her for dinner later!"

Lu Baichuan realized he had said the wrong thing, glanced nervously to the side, and saw that it was just him and his son there. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

When he looked up, his wife was standing not far away, watching him with a half-smile, which startled him.

For a moment, the son forgot everything else and went over with a fawning smile to greet her: "Hey, honey, you're up? Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

He Jiuniang rolled her eyes, clutching her aching back, and said irritably, "Look at the time! How can you sleep like this?!"

She usually knows when to sleep in, so she doesn't actually get up too late. Although she doesn't have to do much, she still can't set a bad example for the kids in the family, since they idolize her.

She got up so late today because of Lu Baichuan. Last night he insisted on making up for the regret of not being able to come back last time.

But since this was in a village, they dared not make any noise, which made them feel incredibly frustrated.

Looking at Lu Baichuan now, I can't stand him no matter what.

Sun had just come from the workshop when she saw the young couple talking. She secretly paid attention and noticed that He Jiuniang was holding her waist. As someone who had been through similar experiences, Sun immediately understood and a smile appeared on her face.

It seems the third child has finally figured things out; that's really something!

Her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, instantly settled down.

The happiness and well-being of her children and grandchildren is what she values ​​most as an elder.

The young couple were talking, but she didn't go over to join in. Instead, she went to watch a group of grandchildren practice martial arts. It was one thing for the older ones to practice, but even the youngest, Liangzi, Shanya, and Xiuya, were practicing. They looked incredibly cute.

During the meal, Lu Baichuan kept serving food to He Jiuniang, who didn't say a word and just ate in silence.

Anyone with eyes could see that something was off between the two, but seeing Lu Baichuan's attentive manner, no one dared to say anything. So they could only pretend not to see it and planned to ask He Jiuniang about it later, and also have some gossip.

There's nothing I can do. Life's gotten better, and people have more free time, so they get bored and want to gossip.

So, after the meal, the men went to see the ancestral hall, the maids cleared away the dishes, and the women, having some free time, cornered He Jiuniang against the wall.

"Tell me, did the third brother make you angry?"

Sun was the first to speak. She had seen the young couple bickering before, but she didn't think it was anything serious. However, she didn't expect that He Jiuniang was ignoring her son, which meant there must be a problem.

He Jiuniang, on the other hand, seemed puzzled and said with a bewildered expression, "No!"

"You're still lying! Come in with me!"

Sun pulled her into the main room, and Yu and the others quickly followed, afraid of missing out on some big news.

"Tell me honestly, what did the third brother do to make you angry? Tell me, and I'll go beat him up!"

Upon hearing this, He Jiuniang immediately laughed. Was she going to tell Sun Shi, "Isn't it because your son did this to me that I couldn't sleep well?"

Even if she has a thick skin, she can't say these words.

So she said, "It's nothing, maybe my period is coming soon and I just feel annoyed when I see him, so I don't want to talk to him!"

Oh, that's a good excuse; the women in the room are quite moved by it.

So this is what everyone is like before their period is coming!

Then they'll have no shortage of reasons to throw tantrums at their men in the future!

This is a good thing for everyone.

Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, and recalling how she had been holding her back when she entered the house, Mrs. Sun thought that good things were about to happen, but now she said that she was about to have her period, so the old lady felt a little disappointed.

My son has been back for about half a year now, but why is my daughter-in-law's belly still showing no signs of pregnancy?

Back when I was pregnant with Gou'er, I conceived on the first try!

Could it be that my son has been doing dangerous things outside all these years, damaging his foundation?

Or is it because of old age?

No, no, no, age shouldn't be a problem. My second child's wife is even pregnant!

That can only be because it's damaged your body!

The third son's wife should know the most about this. Could it be that she dislikes him because of this?

Oh dear, if even the third son's wife can't cure this, then it really will become a terminal illness, and the third branch of the family will really only have Gou'er as their sole heir!

What should we do?!

Sun was lost in her own thoughts, feeling increasingly distressed, but He Jiuniang, having not slept well the previous night, was too tired to pay much attention and went back to her room to catch up on sleep.

Sun muttered a series of "It's all over, it's all over, it's all over..." in her mind.

Seeing that her complexion was not good, Madam Yu asked with concern, "Mother, are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm fine, you can all go about your business."

Sun waved her hand listlessly, instantly losing interest in everything.

The group exchanged glances, still feeling uneasy. Lu Guilan said, "Mother, are you worried about Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law? Judging from Third Sister-in-law's appearance, she doesn't seem to be in any danger, so please don't worry."

"Yes, the kids said yesterday that the two of them have a good relationship and there won't be any problems."

Qin also tried to comfort her, as it was the first time she had ever seen her mother-in-law so heartbroken.
