Chapter 196 Storm
Cui family
Qiao Yishi was overwhelmed with surprise. He carefully looked at Konjac's flat belly and asked in disbelief, "Is this true? I'm going to be a father?"
The gestation and birth of a new life is something to be happy about, especially for newly married couples who are in great love with each other. The arrival of a child will undoubtedly bring their happiness to a higher level.
Seeing Qiao Yishi's overjoyed look, Konjac briefly forgot about the previous unpleasantness with her mother-in-law.
After the two of them had had enough time to indulge in the baby in her belly, Konjac finally straightened his expression.
She chose to marry Qiao Yishi not only because he was the right man, but also because she had a genuine affection for him.
Although there were some bumps in the road after marriage, they were generally happy. She did not want to deny the relationship between her and Qiao Yishi because of a small problem.
But now, with the arrival of this child, there are some small problems in their lives. Instead of avoiding the main issue and covering it up, it is better to talk about it directly.
If Qiao Yishi also wanted a boy like her mother-in-law, then she would also need to change her attitude towards the Qiao family in the future.
For Konjac, who was born and raised in the Jin Dynasty, even though she had experienced the fact that Cui Qingyi was divorced but took her to re-establish roots in Dongping County, she still felt that divorce or being divorced was a very scary thing.
But she has been with Cui Qingyi for so long, and she has not made no progress at all. She knows very well that the Qiao family is different from the Chen family. Even if she disagrees with the people in this family, she can still find a way to control this family.
Konjac smiled gently. She had a sweet appearance to begin with, and now that she was pregnant, she had even more maternal qualities.
"I've had some unpleasantness with my mother these past few days. She's convinced I'm carrying a boy, but I think it's a girl. What do you think?"
Qiao Yishi paused as he was caressing Konjac's belly, and suddenly realized where all the unpleasant feelings he had felt when he returned home today came from. It turned out that his wife and mother were having a conflict.
How strange!
Qiao Yishi knew best what was on Qiao's mother's mind. After all, his father had been talking about having a grandson the year he passed away. Before that, the two brothers were both bachelors and didn't even have wives, so how could they have a grandson? Naturally, his mother had no place to worry about it. But now that his wife was pregnant, it brought up his mother's worries again.
Qiao Yishi immediately expressed his position:
"My dear, as long as it's yours, I'll love it no matter if it's a boy or a girl, even if it's a fool. I guess my mother just had her mind wandered for a moment. You don't have to worry about it. Leave everything to me."
As he spoke, Qiao Yishi patted his chest to indicate that he would take care of everything.
Konjac raised her hand in anger and slapped her husband, "You gave birth to a fool."
She pressed on, "I have to go back to the girls' school in the spring, and you and mother are not allowed to stop me then."
Qiao Yishi said without hesitation: "Of course I have to go. Look at how promising the girls you taught are. When I passed by the neighboring county this time, I heard people say that they were going to come to our Dongping County to hire an embroiderer. If I wasn't afraid that people would laugh at me for daydreaming, I almost rushed up and said that the embroiderer was taught by my wife.
When our daughter grows up, she will follow you to the girls' school. It would be great if we could have a female teacher in our family then."
Konjac was drawn to Qiao Yishi's words: "This is true, you didn't lie to me."
Qiao Yishi wasn't just saying this to cheer Konjac up; he really heard it.
Qiao Yishi's words undoubtedly gave Konjac great self-confidence. She straightened her back and made up her mind that no matter what Qiao Yishi and Qiao's mother would do next, she would definitely stay in the girls' school.
After waiting for Cui Qingyi to come out, I saw that the sadness on Konjac's face had disappeared, and I knew that the young couple had told everything.
But as a member of her family, she still decided to give Qiao Yishi a few words. "Konjac, the chicken soup Aunt Qiao sent is hot. Go have a bowl to warm yourself up."
Konjac naturally knew that Cui Qingyi wanted to get her out of the way, but she didn't care at all and turned around and went to the kitchen. If there was anyone in the world who wanted her the most, that person must be the girl.
Qiao Yishi also knew that Cui Qingyi had something to tell him. He could put on a playful smile in front of Konjac and promise to swear to make the matter go away, but he didn't dare to do so in front of Cui Qingyi.
He bowed towards Cui Qingyi and apologized first: "Miss Cui, I was wrong this time. I made Konjac feel wronged, but my mother didn't mean any harm. I promise that such a thing will not happen again in the future."
Cui Qingyi had a faint smile on her face and waved her hand to signal Qiao Yishi to sit down. "You misunderstood. It's natural for Aunt Qiao to want to have a grandson. There's nothing wrong with that. Plus, she's thinking about the deceased, so it's inevitable that she's rushed. I can understand all of this.
But you know what happened between Konjac and I in the past. People say that a mother is strong, and she naturally doesn't want her children to go through the same things she has experienced. This matter just hits the nail on the head.
I treat Konjac as my own sister, so I don't want her to be wronged. Can you understand?"
Qiao Yishi was just anxiously trying to coax Konjac not to be angry, and he only thought that Konjac was unhappy about his mother's attitude, and didn't consider this at all. Now, after hearing what Cui Qingyi said, he suddenly felt guilty.
Not to mention Konjac, even he himself felt heartbroken just thinking about his children being treated like that in the future.
Thinking of this, Qiao Yishi could no longer sit still. He stood up and said goodbye to Cui Qingyi: "Miss Cui, I'm going home first and will come back to pick up Konjac later."
Cui Qingyi nodded happily. Ultimately, the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law all depended on the attitude of the man in the middle. If Qiao Yishi himself couldn't figure it out, then there would be no hope.
Cui Qingyi was still satisfied with Qiao Yishi's attitude at the moment. People say that it takes a hundred years to be able to travel on the same boat and a thousand years to sleep on the same pillow. These two people are in love with each other, so there is no need for them to quarrel and break up all the time.
Cui Qingyi didn't know what Qiao Yishi said to Qiao's mother after he returned home, but before dinner, the three members of the Qiao family all went to Cui's house.
As soon as Brother Qiao entered the door, he picked up Heiya and held him in his arms, admiring him. The second brother missed his wife when he went home, but he missed his dog when he went home and didn't have a wife. As a result, this heartless guy didn't even bother to go home and take a look.
Mother Qiao held Konjac's hand and cried, saying that she had been blinded by greed before and asked Konjac not to bother with her.
"Mom isn't lying. As long as it's a child you give birth to, whether it's a boy or a girl, I'll love it and feel sorry for it. I just had my mind wandered for a moment."
Cui Qingyi tried to persuade her, "We all know what kind of person Aunt Qiao is. Everyone has their moments of wandering thoughts. It's over now."
Konjac went back with the Qiao family, and Cui Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief.
As Chen Ma set the table, she said, "Looks like I'll be able to sew with Sister Qiao again tomorrow."
Cui Qingyi laughed a few times, that’s right!
The first storm in Konjac's married life has passed for the time being, but as for the future, we will have to wait and see.
But the first biggest storm Cui Qingyi faced after settling in Dongping County was quietly approaching.
