At this time, the cousin's wife, who had been silent, suddenly said: "Grandpa, this time when we leave, we want to keep Ningning with us."

"What?" Grandpa Jiang asked subconsciously after hearing this.

My uncle and aunt beside me also looked over.

Lu Xia and the others also put down their chopsticks, not understanding why the cousin's wife made such a decision.

"I want Ningning to stay and go to school here!" my cousin's wife said again.

Before anyone else could reply, the eldest cousin said directly: "No, I don't agree!"

At this point, the eldest cousin suddenly took a deep breath and emphasized again, "I said last night that I don't agree!"

My cousin's wife frowned when she heard this. "Why don't you agree? This place is much better than the army. Ningning can get a better education here. Why can't you keep her here?"

"But Ningning is less than two years old...how could she not be with her parents!" the cousin retorted.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, the eldest aunt persuaded them: "The second child is right, Fangyi, Ningning is still young and probably can't leave her parents. So, when she goes to elementary school, you can send her back and let her go to school here!

...

...

What's more, your father and I are busy with work, and your grandfather is old and can't take care of so many children. I guess you are worried."

But when my cousin's wife heard this, she asked directly: "Then how come those people are here?"

Lu Xia frowned when she heard this. What did she mean? Was she talking about An An and the others?

The eldest aunt also frowned when she heard this, "An An and his family are only here during the Chinese New Year. They usually go back to their own homes."

But my cousin's wife seemed not to believe it and wanted to say something, but my eldest cousin just put down his chopsticks with a "pop" and left with the child.

Seeing this, my cousin's wife's face turned cold and she left.

After that, no one at the table spoke. The aunt sighed and looked at Lu Xia apologetically. Lu Xia shook his head at her to indicate that it was okay.

The atmosphere at home was very depressing for the rest of the day. My cousin's wife stayed in her room and didn't come out, and she didn't even eat dinner.

Lu Xia sat in the room and sighed before going to bed. When the door opened, he saw Jiang Junmo walk in and asked hurriedly: "Did you find out the reason?"

Jiang Junmo nodded, "I found out after asking. My cousin said that he and his wife never told me about their family background after they got together. My wife thought that our family was just an ordinary military family. But when she saw Grandpa and the people who came to pay New Year's greetings, she realized that she thought too simply.

Then I heard that your company was developing very well, so I subconsciously thought that you, a university teacher, could run your company so well, so you must have borrowed the Jiang family's influence. I think they are at a disadvantage being so far away, so they want the child to stay and take advantage of the family..."

"No way?" Lu Xia frowned after hearing this, "My cousin's wife shouldn't be that kind of person, right?"

Jiang Junmo listened and continued, "Also, my cousin's wife had a very hard time when she was pregnant with Ningning. She also had a difficult birth. Plus, she's not young anymore. She had already agreed with my cousin that she would not have any more children. But recently, after she suggested keeping Ningning, she suddenly wanted to have another child!"

Lu Xia: You won’t compare her with the children she gave birth to, right?

Lu Xia opened his mouth, "...Did your cousin tell you all this?"

Jiang Junmo shook his head and smiled, "How could that be? He hesitated and didn't say it out loud, so I guessed it!"

Lu Xia sighed after hearing this, "What does my cousin think?"

"I don't know. He might be disappointed. But my cousin will definitely not agree to let the child stay. He will probably try to come back less often in the future."

"Ah? Why?"

"No reason. If he didn't want a divorce, he would have decided this way."

After hearing this, Lu Xia sighed, not knowing what to say.
