"Liancheng has gone to the countryside. Calculating the dates, his wife should be giving birth during the Chinese New Year. So they probably won't be able to come during the Chinese New Year... I don't know when I'll get to see their child, but with you two at home, you can definitely fulfill my wish of having a great-grandson, right?"

As Mr. Song spoke, he looked at Song Qinian eagerly.

Song Qinian sat upright, staring straight at Old Man Song without dodging or evading his gaze.

"Grandpa, I don't have any plans to have children now."

"What did you say?"

Old Master Song looked at Song Liancheng in disbelief, thinking he had heard it wrong.

"You just said that you don't plan to have children for the time being? What does that mean?"

"That's exactly what it means." Song Qinian looked into Old Man Song's eyes, his eyes calm and his voice very peaceful. "Grandpa, I'm very busy right now. I might have to go out on a mission at any time..."

Old Master Song laughed immediately. "Then go ahead! You should go on missions. I won't ask you to get pregnant, nor will I ask you to take care of the child. This won't affect anything!"

"No, it does have an impact." Song Qinian interrupted Old Man Song, "Having a child is a matter for two people. It's okay that I can't share the pain of pregnancy and childbirth with my wife, but I can't not be with her when she's pregnant, don't you think?"

"You...what do you mean? Are you saying that you don't want to have children?"

"Of course not. I've just been busy these past two years. I'll wait a few years before having another child!"

Old Master Song opened his eyes wide and stared at Song Qinian without blinking, as if he really wanted to ask Song Qinian if he was joking.

After a moment, Mr. Song simply turned around and looked at Su Mujin.

"Mujin, Qinian is ignorant, but you are not ignorant either, right? You are not young anymore. People of your age already have two or three children. You can't fall behind!" The moment Su Mujin heard this, she almost laughed out loud.

What does it mean not to fall behind?

Is there a baby-birthing competition?

Even if there really is a childbirth competition, she will just give up.

Although she was complaining in her heart, Su Mujin smiled gently on her face, "Grandpa, when it comes to having children, it all depends on Qi Nian. I don't have the final say, and he doesn't listen to me."

That’s right, Su Mujin doesn’t intend to confront it head-on.

She wanted to put all the blame on Song Qinian.

This was a countermeasure that the two of them had already discussed before.

If Su Mujin said she didn't want to have children, she would definitely be criticized by Old Man Song and pointed at by people in the compound.

Even if Su Mujin didn't take their words to heart, it did affect her mood and her reputation.

In this age where spit can drown people, this is not a wise choice.

If the person who didn't want to have children was Song Qinian, the situation would be completely different.

Not only will Mr. Song not blame Su Mujin, he will even treat Su Mujin better and help Song Qinian comfort Su Mujin.

If other people in the compound heard about it, they might sympathize with me or laugh at me, but they would never blame me.

As for Song Qinian who doesn't want to have children, everyone will only persuade him but not blame him.

It will not have any impact on Song Qinian's life or work.

Therefore, the best solution for both of them is for Song Qinian to bear the reputation of being unwilling to have children.

That night, Old Master Song talked to Song Qinian for half an hour.

Explain with reason and move with emotion.

Finally, Song Qinian said that it was getting late and he had to join the troops the next day. Only then did Old Man Song have to shut up and get up to go home.

It seems that Mr. Song is not someone who gives up so easily.

He went home that night, but came back the next day to induce labor!

At first, Su Mujin thought that Mr. Song was so old and had limited energy, so he probably wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
