That evening, Lin Xiazhu stayed at the Bai family's house, while Lin Chacha and the others were asked to return to their accommodations in the Garden Community. Bai Zhengping didn't say anything. Bai Ru'an wanted them to stay at the Bai family's house for one night, but Lin Chacha insisted on returning to the Garden Community.
“My eldest sister is going back to her parents’ home in a few days, and we, her family, will be hosting her. It wouldn’t be appropriate for her to stay.” Lin Chacha was quite particular about etiquette.
Lin Xiazhu and Bai Ruan just smiled. There were only a few younger sisters in her family. Her uncle and the others did not come. Lin Xiazhu had asked Lin Shanfu if he wanted to come to Beijing together. He wanted to come, but he had just taken on a big project and couldn't leave. He would feel at ease if he supervised it in person.
Lin Sen and Lin Hai's auto repair shops are also very busy. They could have taken a few days off, but the problem is that, coincidentally, their wives are both pregnant with their second child.
Lin Sen's first child was a son, and his second child was an extra birth. From the time Zhao Ting became pregnant, he started to move around like a guerrilla, staying in one place for a day here and another for a day there, not daring to stay in one place for long. Lin Xiazhu hinted that he could let Zhao Ting come to Beijing to hide, but Lin Sen said he was afraid that she would be arrested and forced to have an abortion before she even got on the plane, and he couldn't take the risk, so he had to give up.
It's impossible for her to go back to her hometown for the wedding reception; she can only go back to the Garden Community. However, she will still go back to her hometown at the end of the year to host another banquet so that relatives and friends know about her wedding.
Actually, when Lin Xiazhu returned to Beijing, Zhang Yu and Zhang Longfei and a few others clamored to come along, but in those days there were so many people building houses, and Zhang Yu and the others had such large businesses that they couldn't get away for a while.
"I won't give you the red envelope yet. I'll give it to you and Xiao An when you come back and treat us to a meal. Otherwise, what if you take the red envelope and then don't want to treat us anymore? Wouldn't we be at a loss?"
"Fine, I don't even need a red envelope. Do you think I'll let you go without a meal?" Lin Xiazhu was both amused and exasperated, knowing he was joking, and decided not to tease him.
It was almost 11 p.m. when Bai Zhengping was still awake. He sat in his study and let out a long sigh.
"Master, you should get some rest," the butler earnestly advised.
"Butler, you said Mingxuan and the Lin family girl have been together for more than half a year, and they've done everything they should, so why isn't she showing any signs of pregnancy?"
So it turned out he was thinking about his great-grandson. The butler remained silent, realizing he shouldn't speak at this moment, as anything he said would be inappropriate. He advised the master not to rush things, as the young master was still young and should wait a few more years.
But the master was in a hurry.
He figured the young master and mistress probably didn't want to have children so soon. These young people nowadays know how to enjoy life; they haven't had enough of their time as a couple yet, so how could they possibly have a child to hold them back?
However, this cannot be said to the master, otherwise he will get angry and then definitely cause trouble for the young master and his wife, and the relationship that has been so hard to ease will be broken again.
In fact, Bai Ruan also wanted to have a child, but Lin Xiazhu hadn't given the go-ahead, so he could only wait. Tonight, he was careful and didn't wear a condom when he got into bed.
"Where's the little umbrella?" Lin Xiazhu stared at him.
Bai Ru'an, panting, said in a low, hoarse voice, "I forgot to bring it; we don't have any at home."
Lin Xiazhu: "..." I don't think I'll win the bid on the first try. At this point, am I suddenly going to say I'm not going to do it anymore?
A moment of bliss on the wedding night is worth a thousand pieces of gold; tonight is our wedding night, and we can't possibly spoil the fun.
However, once isn't enough. It takes at least three, four, five, or six times a night to finish.
The next day, Lin Xiazhu almost couldn't get up. Luckily, she set an alarm. Although it rang once before Bai Ruan turned it off, she still heard it. She was mainly thinking about how she had to get up early to serve tea to the old man.
In their rural area, such old customs had long since disappeared, but the Bai family still kept them. She didn't know this until the housekeeper specifically reminded her yesterday, after which she remembered it.
Serving tea is no big deal, she can do it. It's just that she was up for too long last night and woke up today with a sore back and aches.
It had been a long time since a new person had entered the family. At least in Bai Junbai's memory, apart from distant relatives, no one in his family had ever married. As for whether or not to serve tea, he really didn't know, because he never paid attention to such things, since he was not considering marriage.
However, watching his nephew and niece-in-law serve tea to his father, he still found it amusing. "That's it? Doesn't it feel like we've gone back to the old days?"
He wanted to laugh, and then he actually smiled, almost bursting out laughing. Old Master Bai glared at his son, then slowly took two red envelopes from the butler and handed them to his grandson and granddaughter-in-law.
"This is 10% of the shares of my Songbai Group. I'm giving each of you 5%, but it won't take effect until you have a child." Bai Zhengping's eyes flashed with shrewdness, and his smile was cunning.
Bai Ru'an and Lin Xiazhu: "..." This is urging them to have a baby.
He was inwardly grumbling, but he didn't say a word. He calmly accepted the red envelope and felt the thick stack of documents inside. It seemed to be a share transfer agreement.
Bai Zhengping was very satisfied that the two newlyweds did not ask any questions. He smiled and looked up at his youngest son, "Junbai, don't think that your father is biased. If you also get married and have children, you can also get shares under my name, or even more."
This is a huge temptation. Anyone else would be eager to find a woman to marry and have children immediately, but Bai Junbai is different. He is unmoved. He doesn't want to get married. He hasn't met anyone he wants to marry, and he probably won't in this lifetime. He won't settle for just anyone.
"I already have more shares under my name than I can squander, and I have no wife or children, so what use are all those I take? Give them to whomever you want." With that, he got up, dusted off imaginary dust, and left.
"...You unfilial son, you'll know how lonely it is when you're old. When you're old and have no children or grandchildren to keep you company, you won't even have anyone to talk to. Do you think those scoundrels will still fawn over you like they do now when you're seventy or eighty?"
Bai Zhengping cursed and swore, only concerned with venting his anger, completely forgetting that today was the second day of his grandson's wedding, a day that should have been filled with joy.
After listening in stunned silence, Lin Xiazhu saw Bai Zhengping turn around angrily to face them, and she immediately declared her determination, "Grandpa, don't worry, at the latest within three years, Xiao'an and I will definitely have the child. We will definitely have a child."
Bai Zhengping, who was so angry that he almost had a heart attack, was comforted by Lin Xiazhu's words. He nodded with relief, "The important matter of carrying on the Bai family line is now in your hands and Mingxuan's. Don't worry about family planning. We can register the children's household registration abroad. Having as many children as you want won't be a problem."
Lin Xiazhu: "..." Although she decided to have children, she did not want to be treated as a birthing tool and have a litter of babies.
"Your sister, the one who raises pigs back home, is doing very well. She has a bright future. I heard she's made a lot of money and even gave birth to twin sons. I saw those two little guys yesterday; they're truly adorable. Your sister is a lucky one," Bai Zhengping praised Lin Chacha.
However, Lin Xiazhu felt that something was off.
The butler silently looked away. The master had not only seen the twins yesterday, but had even snatched them and held them for a while. He insisted on holding both of them, clearly hoping to share in their good fortune and that the young mistress would also give birth to twin sons.
