When it comes to this, only Luo Yifan, who has been through it all, has the most authority to speak on the matter.
"Once you get pregnant, you suffer. You know, pregnant women can't sleep or eat well. After ten months of this, when the child is finally born, all the energy and strength that the body has accumulated is almost completely taken away by the child. You feel like you've been hollowed out."
Young Master Yan, who already had a phobia of pregnancy and childbirth, became even more determined about a certain idea after hearing Luo Yifan's words.
"Yes, so when my brother heard that my sister was pregnant with twins, he immediately said that one child would be enough and he would never let my sister have any more. I also thought that no matter whether Xiaoyu has a boy or a girl this time, one child is enough. Anyway, with Beibei and Guoguo, the three of us siblings will be lively enough."
Ji Huan's idea coincided with that of Young Master Yan.
However, the decision of whether or not to have children is largely in the hands of women, especially in families like the Ji and Yan families, where the daughter-in-law has the final say.
Even if a husband doesn't want his wife to suffer, in the end, he can't resist his wife's desire to have children.
The men in the living room were drinking tea, eating snacks, and chatting. The conversation went from marriage to children, and then back to marriage. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
When Zhu Qianying came out of the kitchen carrying the soup, Young Master Yan and Ji Huan immediately stood up, walked over quickly, and helped carry out the prepared dishes one by one.
For Ji Huan, doing such things was second nature; it came naturally to him. He didn't think anything of it, but he found it a little strange that Young Master Yan would do these things with him.
"Brother Yan, when did you become so diligent?"
After all, Young Master Yan used to be a pampered young master who never had to lift a finger.
Little did Ji Huan know that in the past month or two, Young Master Yan had begun to emulate the actions of the Ji brothers. The reason was simply that he couldn't bear to see his wife overworked.
“I’ve always been this diligent. If you don’t believe me, ask Ying’er.”
Young Master Yan ignored his past scandals and spoke arrogantly.
Ji Huan smiled mischievously, "Really? I didn't notice."
Yan Shao was too lazy to explain anything to him. Anyway, his wife knew how good he was.
"Xiaoyu, you better go outside and sit down, don't stand in the kitchen."
Zhu Qianyu had been standing in the kitchen chatting with Chen Jing and Zhu Qianying, and she was still chattering away.
Ji Huan originally intended to let her finish speaking before luring her out, but it seemed like she couldn't stop talking. Ji Huan couldn't bear it any longer and had no choice but to tell Zhu Qianyu to leave.
Zhu Qianyu rolled her eyes at him, but in the end, she still obediently walked out.
After she left, Chen Jing said to Ji Huan, "Xiao Huan, Xiao Yu seems to have become much more willful since she got pregnant. Please be more tolerant of her."
In fact, Zhu Qianyu's personality used to be almost entirely unrelated to willfulness.
After all, only spoiled children have the right to be willful.
Given their growing environment, what conditions allow Zhu Qianying and Zhu Qianyu to be so willful?
However, since being with Ji Huan, Zhu Qianyu's childish nature has become much more pronounced than before.
It wasn't that she was spoiled and arrogant, but rather that Ji Huan was willing to pamper and indulge her.
Just like how Young Master Yan is willing to spoil and indulge Zhu Qianying.
However, both sisters are actually intelligent. They may be willful on trivial or non-principle-related issues, but on matters of principle, they are always reasonable and have never done anything to embarrass Ji Huan or Yan Shao.
For example, now that she knew she had angered Young Master Ji Huan, Zhu Qianyu obediently "got out".
"Mom, how is she being willful? You have no idea how badly my best friends are tormented by their pregnant wives."
Indeed, many women, after becoming pregnant, take advantage of their pregnancy to act arrogantly, ordering their husbands and even their husbands' families to serve them and revolve around them. If they are slightly dissatisfied, they will make a big fuss by using the baby in their belly as leverage.
Compared to that kind of woman, Zhu Qianyu's harmless little antics are utterly insignificant.
"It's good that you understand... Your mommy won't be back for more than a month, right? Or, in the meantime, let Xiaoyu stay in L City, and Ying'er and I will take care of her?"
Chen Jing also felt guilty, as she had done almost nothing for her daughter during her long pregnancy.
"Mom, we can take good care of Xiaoyu. Don't worry. My sister, Aunt Guan, and my brother all have enough experience. We will take good care of Xiaoyu."
Ji Huan assumed that Chen Jing was worried about him taking care of Xiao Yu, so she quickly brought up her older brother and sister.
"Uh, Xiao Huan, you misunderstood. It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that I feel like I've been too heartless as a mother. Ying'er and Xiao Yu have grown up so much, but I haven't had many opportunities to take care of them."
Zhu Qianying, who had just taken the dishes out and then turned back to get the bowls and chopsticks, heard Chen Jing's words and chimed in.
"Mom, when Zizai was born, who else took care of me if not you? Let bygones be bygones, Mom, don't keep dwelling on it."
Chen Jing nodded and didn't say anything more.
Her idea of keeping Zhu Qianyu to take care of her for a while was obviously rejected by Ji Huan.
After Ji Huan left, Zhu Qianying said to Chen Jing, who was slightly dejected, "Mom, Ji Huan is so worried about Xiaoyu, how could he let her live away from his watchful eye? So, don't blame yourself. Xiaoyu is Ji Huan's responsibility now, not yours."
Even though Zhu Qianying said that, Chen Jing was still a little melancholy.
Zhu Qianying didn't try to persuade her any further, only saying, "Mom, you have to behave well in front of Daxian and Xiaochang today. Don't look so gloomy like a stepmother, it'll scare people."
Chen Jing was initially feeling a bit down, but her daughter's teasing immediately cheered her up. She rolled her eyes at her daughter and said, "You're the one with a stepmother's face! How can you talk about your own mother like that?"
Zhu Qianying smiled and hugged her waist, then pressed her face against hers and rubbed it against hers.
"See? You admit you're the biological mother, don't you? Since you're the biological mother, you won't mistreat your child. You don't owe me or Xiaoyu anything. If you really owe anything, it's that you owe us a happy family. From now on, you just need to manage your family with Uncle Luo well, and then you won't owe us anything."
Chen Jing knew perfectly well that her daughter was only saying these things to comfort her.
As for whether she owes her two daughters anything, and what she owes them, she knows very well in her heart.
