After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Shen Jichuan introduced Wen Qiao to Zhao Lihua as his wife.
I introduced Zhao Lihua to Wen Qiao; she's his aunt.
Wen Qiao obediently called out, "Auntie."
Zhao Lihua simply gave a faint "hmm".
"Ji Chuan, you only told me you were married and your wife was pregnant, but you didn't mention that your wife is so young. The age gap between you two is too big. I'm worried. What do you mean by this...?"
Wen Qiao knew that her aunt Shen Jichuan didn't like her, so she said, "I'll go to the kitchen and see if lunch is ready."
After Wen Qiao left.
Zhao Lihua immediately spoke without hesitation:
"Ji Chuan, she's so young, she probably doesn't even have a high school diploma. You, on the other hand, attended a proper military academy."
"You know, even if you're going to get married, you should at least marry someone from a good family who has some ability."
"She just told me that she didn't even finish junior high school and that her family is from a rural area in the countryside? Is that true?"
Hearing his aunt's words, Shen Jichuan's expression turned indifferent.
“Auntie, Wen Qiao is the wife I want. I don’t care about her education or background. Whether she’s from the city or the countryside, it doesn’t matter to me.”
"You can say these things to my face, but don't say them in front of Wen Qiao."
"She is pregnant and about to give birth. I hope you can do these things."
Zhao Lihua noticed that her nephew had become serious.
She immediately said, "Ji Chuan, I'm doing this for your own good. After your mother passed away, I'm the only family you have left in this world. How could I possibly harm you? I just feel that Wen Qiao is not good enough for you."
"Did you marry her because she was pregnant with your child? How could someone from the countryside like her possibly marry a military officer like you?"
"They must have used some kind of trick."
That's enough.
Shen Jichuan slammed his hand on the table.
“Auntie, let me tell you clearly, Wen Qiao is the one I want. It wasn’t her who seduced me, it was me who seduced her.”
"From now on, stop saying things like she's marrying above her station."
Zhao Lihua was shocked as if struck by lightning when she heard her nephew's words.
She pointed at him, "You, you, you seduced a young girl who had just come of age?"
Wen Qiao said she was twenty.
Her belly is so big, she must be several months pregnant. She and Ji Chuan must have been married for about a year, right?
Based on this calculation, she must have been just eighteen years old when she got together with Ji Chuan.
Shen Jichuan responded without changing his expression.
“Auntie, I asked you to come because Wen Qiao is pregnant with triplets. She is still too young to take care of herself. We have hired a nanny and brought my mother-in-law here. You can stay here for a few days, and I will arrange a car to take you back.”
Zhao Lihua only heard that Wen Qiao was pregnant with three children...
"She's pregnant with triplets? No wonder her belly was so big."
“Ji Chuan, I can’t leave. Your mother is gone, and now your wife is about to give birth. I have to stay here and watch over her.”
"Since she's about to give birth, I know what I should and shouldn't say."
"My aunt will help take care of these three children after they are born."
How could a gentle woman and her illiterate mother possibly raise a child to be successful?
Looking at his aunt's sudden change in attitude, Shen Jichuan thought that his aunt's attitude towards Wen Qiao had changed after she learned that Wen Qiao was pregnant with triplets.
When lunch was served, Zhao Lihua saw Wen Qiao carrying bowls and chopsticks and immediately went over to her.
"Wen Qiao, I heard from Ji Chuan that you're almost due, why are you still doing things?"
