Chapter 225 Becoming a Celebrity
Qian Meifeng's hands began to tremble at Chen Cui'e's shouting, "Cui'e, please speak slowly and don't scare me. Can't Baocheng eat celery? No, he didn't say so. He just said he loves celery. So I found him all the ones that aren't available this season."
Qian Meifeng's words were meant to tell Chen Cui'e that she was kind-hearted and was willing to spend a lot of money to buy Jiang Baocheng his favorite food, and she didn't mean to harm anyone on purpose.
Seeing Qian Meifeng's nervous face, Chen Cui'e quickly explained, "It's none of your business. It's not that you can't eat it. It's just that my mother once told me that young men should eat less celery, especially if they are planning to have children."
"Ah? I don't know this. Is there something special about it?" Qian Meifeng really didn't know.
Chen Cui'e glanced at her daughter-in-law and explained in a low voice: "They say celery is not good for men's stuff, so it's hard to get pregnant anyway. You said the chances of getting pregnant were low during the few days you were together, and Baocheng often eats celery, so it's no wonder the child can't find his home, ah!"
Bai Qianqian blushed and was extremely confused, but there was nothing wrong with her husband in that aspect. He always made her very tired, so it didn't seem like there was a problem.
Qian Meifeng knew what her daughter was thinking as soon as she saw her expression, so she cleared her throat twice and asked, "Well, I heard from the doctor at the hospital that men have sperm. Does that mean it's hard to have children if that thing is not good?"
Chen Cui'e waved her hand and said, "I don't know. Anyway, don't eat celery anymore. What if this is the reason?"
"Yes, yes, I won't eat it anymore," Qian Meifeng decided that celery would never appear on her family's dining table again.
"Mom, Qianqian, we're back," Jiang Baocheng's excited voice came from outside the door, and then the door of the house was pushed open from the outside.
Jiang Baocheng came in carrying a bucket. He looked up and was about to say something when he saw his mother. "Hey, Mom, why are you here? Why didn't you tell me earlier? Hey, it's just right. Look, we caught two fish, not too big or too small, just right for cooking them for lunch."
"Your mother-in-law asked me to stay for lunch so that I can see how big a fish you have caught?" Chen Cui'e was also happy to see her youngest son. The energetic young man was a pleasure to look at. The Bai family's elder parents really took good care of him!
Jiang Baocheng touched his head embarrassedly and said, "Hey, these two were caught by my dad. I didn't catch any."
Bai Gang, who followed in, smiled and said, "You are a little impatient. Fishing requires skill. You should practice more..."
"Come on, you can only fool Baocheng. Aren't you a half-baked person yourself? You often come back with an empty bucket. Today you're lucky and got two small fish. It's not shameful." Qian Meifeng didn't care about her husband's face at all and directly exposed his true colors.
"Hey, why can't you give me some face? My in-laws are here!" Bai Gang was a little unhappy. Who said his fishing skills were bad? At least they were much better than Baocheng's!
"In-laws are not outsiders, they are family. Why do you still want to save face? Go and process the two fish." Qian Meifeng stretched out her hand and assigned a task to Bai Gang.
Jiang Baocheng was used to seeing his father-in-law and mother-in-law bickering, so he didn't take it seriously. He just smiled and looked at his mother and asked, "Mom, why are you here today? Is there something wrong?"
Since he got married, his mother would only say a few words and leave whenever she came to deliver something, never staying for long. What happened today? She was willing to stay for lunch, which was really strange. Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of his eldest brother who was still in the village, and hurriedly asked, "Mom, is there something wrong with my eldest brother and his wife? Do you need my help?"
After hearing this, Chen Cui'e rolled her eyes at her youngest son and said, "That's not true. Your elder brother and his wife are fine. Don't curse them. I came here today for something important, but I've already told Qianqian about it. I'll let her tell you when the time comes."
Jiang Baocheng looked at his wife next to him and saw that her face was slightly red and she looked very shy. He felt nervous and said, "Mom, you didn't find some folk remedy for Qianqian to take. Oh, I told you, we are both in good health, there is no problem. It's not fate yet, so we can't rush to have a child..."
"No, no, Baocheng, you misunderstood. Mom didn't find any medicine for me."
Seeing that her husband had misunderstood, Bai Qianqian quickly reached out and pulled him back, but she felt very happy in her heart, because it showed that her husband loved her and was not ambiguous even when facing her mother-in-law.
"You little rascal, you gave me such a long reply after I said just one sentence. You are really filial. I have to run around for you." Chen Cui'e rolled her eyes at her younger son in annoyance. People say that girls are extroverts, and in her opinion, boys are also extroverts.
"Hey, aren't you getting medicine for Qianqian? I was just too anxious, Mom, I'm sorry," Jiang Baocheng heard his wife say this and quickly apologized to his mother.
Chen Cui'e rolled her eyes at him and said, "I don't want to bother with you."
Jiang Baocheng didn't care at all. He directly pressed his mother's shoulders and asked her to sit down. Then he asked, "Mom, do you have any secrets to tell Qianqian? Tell me now!"
Chen Cui'e glanced at him and asked, "Do you really want to hear it?"
"Yeah, I want to listen."
"I told you to stop eating celery. It will affect your ability to have children."
"What?" Jiang Baocheng was confused. Why was celery involved?
Seeing that her husband didn't understand, Bai Qianqian leaned over to him and whispered what happened. Then she looked at Chen Cui'e and smiled gratefully, "It's our fault. We made Mom suffer and run around for our affairs. We must not let Mom down this time."
Jiang Baocheng pondered for a while after hearing what his wife said. After sorting out his thoughts, he asked in disbelief, "Mom, are you saying that the reason why Qianqian and I haven't had a child for so long is because we had sex at the wrong time? Oh, no, it has something to do with my love for celery? Are you kidding me?"
Chen Cui'e was unhappy when she saw her youngest son saying that. She frowned and asked, "Who are you talking nonsense about? You two are both in good health, so why can't you get pregnant? Isn't it because of these two reasons? Of course, you have borrowed the pregnancy energy from Xiaobai this time. If you work hard, you will definitely succeed."
Hearing this, Bai Qianqian felt a little guilty. She asked why her mother-in-law didn't say anything in front of her. It turned out that her husband had been hiding his poor health from his mother-in-law.
"But, how can it be so..." Jiang Baocheng was about to say something when he was interrupted by Bai Gang who had been listening for a while. He nodded thoughtfully and said, "It's hard to say. Well, isn't Lao Liao downstairs a doctor? I'll ask him."
After a while, Bai Gang came back excitedly, closed the door, and whispered, "I just asked Lao Liao, and he said that eating celery really has an effect on men, just like wearing a condom."
"So this is true?" Bai Qianqian looked at her husband in a daze. It turned out that it was not just her fault!
"Really? Your Uncle Liao is an old doctor, so what he said must be right. However, when I asked just now, I didn't avoid people, and his wife was there too, so..." Bai Gang looked at Jiang Baocheng with some sympathy. He believed that within the time it took to eat a meal, the news that his son-in-law had no children because he loved eating celery would spread throughout the entire family compound.
When Jiang Baocheng thought of Aunt Liao's gossipy nature, he felt hopeless and said, "Mom, I'm going to be a celebrity."
