Grandma Han was overjoyed. Although the third son's family already had a son, their living conditions were good now, and they could afford to raise him. Of course, the more children the better.
Han Mingyuan nodded excitedly: "That's right!"
"Yunniang is truly amazing!" Old Mrs. Han exclaimed with admiration. She never expected that her daughter-in-law, whom she had the least faith in before, would be the one who was doing the best now.
Han Laosan was always very quick-witted, and the family's livelihood mainly depended on her.
It's all my fault for being so easily swayed and changing my mind after hearing what others said.
Grandma Han has regretted it countless times, but now that the family can sit down and eat together again, she is content.
"That's right! This is great news, so I came back specifically to tell you all."
"Third brother, your second sister-in-law is pregnant too!" Han Lao Er laughed heartily. Back in his hometown, he had always urged his wife to get pregnant as soon as possible.
After all, he doesn't have a son in his family yet.
He has two daughters, and they'll all belong to other people sooner or later when they grow up. He feels insecure without a son to rely on.
Besides, the eldest and third sons both have sons, so he really doesn't believe he can't have one!
The second son's wife, Meng, blushed. When she first found out she was pregnant, she felt a little ashamed. After all, she was already of a certain age, her daughter was already married, and she was pregnant. It didn't sound good to others.
However, Han Lao Er didn't care. He had said more than once that the baby in her belly had to be a son.
Meng has been having trouble sleeping these past few days, worried about what to do if she has another girl this time.
Seeing her second sister-in-law's haggard face, especially her dark circles under her eyes, Yunniang comforted her, "Second sister-in-law, is your morning sickness really bad?"
She was also pregnant and knew how difficult pregnancy was.
"No, no!"
Although Meng was happy, she was more worried than anything else. She didn't know how she would survive in this family if it wasn't a son.
"You should relax when you're pregnant, otherwise it will affect the baby! Second sister-in-law, if you're too tired from work, you should rest at home. After all, the baby in your belly is the most important thing right now!"
Yunniang said considerately.
Since becoming pregnant, she has rarely gone out, and the shop's affairs have been handled by Madam Chi.
Even at home, the time spent doing embroidery was strictly controlled.
Han Mingyuan is right. Being pregnant puts a heavy burden on her body. If she works too much every day, it will affect her health and the baby.
Yunniang felt a warmth in her heart.
"I understand, Third Sister!"
Meng's eyes reddened with gratitude. Seeing Han Mingyuan's joyful face, and then thinking of her own husband, she felt even more bitter.
Everyone enjoyed the meal. The eldest son's family also came, but the couple was rather quiet.
It's probably because of what happened to Han Juhua last time. Although she's dead, the things she did are still being talked about all over the village. The couple would be pointed at and gossiped about whenever they walked down the street.
Their complexions had been poor lately, and Boss Han had even considered leaving the village, but...
"Alright, everyone, hurry up and eat."
Han Luoxue smiled and tried to smooth things over, but suddenly realized that it was starting to feel a bit like Chinese New Year!
She remembered that during previous Chinese New Year celebrations, many people would gather together to eat and drink!
"You should still come back often in the future. Although life in the capital is good and more prosperous than here, this is your home!"
As she was leaving that evening, Grandma Han was still muttering to herself.
She found a gold bracelet in her house, which she had recently saved up to buy.
The gold bracelet wasn't very heavy, but she managed to slip it onto Yunniang's wrist.
"I can't accept this!"
Yunniang already has quite a lot of jewelry, so this bracelet won't be a problem.
"Yunniang, I was wrong before. I'm already very happy that you're willing to give me a chance. I bought this bracelet especially for you. Look, there are words engraved inside!"
Grandma Han had specifically inquired about this; she heard that words could be engraved inside the bracelet, so she added Yunniang's name.
"Oh well!"
Yunniang accepted it in the end, and she decided to buy one for Grandma Han later.
Relationships between people are reciprocal. Besides, no matter what these two people did in the past, they are Han Mingyuan's parents.
As long as they don't cause too much trouble, she's willing to support them in their old age!
"Sister, may I go to the capital with you?"
Han Yuze is eleven years old and is full of curiosity about everything outside.
"Wait until you're a little older!" Han Luoxue smiled and patted his head. "Learn to recognize more characters, and when you're older, you can follow Han Kun."
Upon hearing this, the little guy's eyes lit up; he knew that Han Kun was now quite formidable.
She managed several shops alongside her older sister and made a considerable amount of money.
I heard that people can now buy a courtyard house in Beijing.
"Okay, sister, I will definitely study hard!"
Watching the little guy run off into the distance, Han Luoxue suddenly realized that time had passed quite quickly. She remembered when she first arrived...
Han Luoxue curled her lips. Since arriving in the capital, she had rarely thought about her time in Hutouya Village.
There aren't many pleasant memories there, but there are quite a few people who have helped them.
...
Han Luoxue left Yunniang enough tonics and also set a time for her trip to Xiyao Kingdom.
This round trip will take at least a month and a half. Han Luoxue's biggest headache is how to explain things to the two little ones when we get back.
Last time, the two little ones, especially the daughter, complained about her for a long time!
However, Han Luoxue also left a lot of good things for the two little ones, including food, household items, and toys; she ordered everything she could.
Before leaving, Mengmeng seemed to sense something and clung to her the whole time, not looking for anyone else.
Seeing the clingy little girl, Han Luoxue felt sad, but there was nothing she could do.
She absolutely had to go, and she was the only one who was suitable to go.
Ouyang Zhen watched with a deep, unsettling gaze. It was all the Western Emperor's fault; once the treasure was obtained, he would definitely deal with that person…
"Alright, don't worry, Brother Chen, I'll take good care of myself!"
Han Luoxue suppressed her reluctance; it was only a little over a month since they last met, and she would be back soon.
"I know!"
The night before his departure, Ouyang Zhen held Han Luoxue tightly and didn't sleep a wink all night.
"You must take good care of yourself on this journey. No matter what happens, your safety is the most important thing, okay?"
Han Luoxue nodded, it was the first time she had seen Brother Chen so fussy and indecisive.
However, she also knew that people were just worried about her.
"I'll be back as soon as possible!"
Han Luoxue turned around and gently kissed him on the lips.
The man's pupils darkened, and he embraced her head, kissing her forcefully.
The night was long, but the two of them felt that time was passing too quickly.
