Upon hearing his grandfather mention this, Lu Jingnian immediately turned to look at Jiang Yue, his eyes filled with worry and heartache.
"I'm fine, I can handle this cold."
Jiang Yue smiled indifferently at Lu Jingnian.
Holding Ping An in her arms, Madam Lu knew from Jiang Yue's words that she was saying this on purpose to avoid making Lu Jingnian worry.
So after entering the house, Madam Lu handed Ping An, who was in her arms, to her second aunt to hold, and went to get a hot water bottle for Jiang Yue.
Seeing the hot water bottle that Madam Lu handed to Jiang Yue, Lu Jingnian's eyes were filled with heartache.
"Does it hurt a lot?" he asked.
Jiang Yue initially wanted to shake her head, but after hesitating for a moment, she finally nodded honestly, "It does hurt a bit, but it's gotten much better in the last two years."
At least it won't affect walking.
In the beginning, she would stay at home and not dare to go out when the weather got cold. Sometimes she would have to apply hot compresses to relieve the pain in her knees.
Lu Jingnian could only watch Jiang Yue; there was nothing he could do.
Don't worry.
Jiang Yue held his hand, "When you're like this, not only do my knees hurt, but my heart aches too."
"It's all because of me."
Lu Jingnian was filled with self-reproach and felt even more disgusted with himself for being so useless.
Jiang Yue's old knee injury was from when she went to Pudu Temple to pray for his safety, something Song Gang had told Lu Jingnian.
"Nonsense, I wasn't just doing this for you, I was doing it for the two kids too."
Jiang Yue was telling the truth. She went to Pudu Temple not only to pray for Lu Jingnian's safety, but also to ensure that she could safely give birth to her two children.
But at the time, everyone ignored what she asked for later and thought that she did it only for Lu Jingnian.
Despite Jiang Yue explaining it to them many times afterward, no one believed her.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."
It's all in the past, there's no point in bringing it up again, it won't change anything.
"All I want is for you to come back safely, for the children to be alright, for us all to be safe and sound, and for us to be alive. That's enough."
So what if my knee hurts a little? It's better than being separated by death, right?
So, by all accounts, she made a huge profit, didn't she?
Jiang Yue sat down, placed the hot water bottle on her lap, and then placed Lu Jingnian's hand on the hot water bottle.
Lu Jingnian's hands were cold from the moment he got off the bus.
Jiang Yue remembered that no matter how cold it was outside, Lu Jingnian's hands were always warm. She always liked to put her hands in Lu Jingnian's palms and let him warm them for her.
But now that it's cold, his hands are colder than his own.
Because Jiang Yue had just revealed her stock trading activities at the door, Auntie was racking her brains trying to figure out how to explain it to Uncle later, so she didn't bother Jiang Yue again.
However, it was her sister-in-law An Luo who came over with an apologetic and guilty expression and apologized to Jiang Yue and Lu Jingnian.
"Yueyue, I'm really sorry for what my second brother did just now. I apologize to you on behalf of Mom."
"Sister-in-law, what are you saying? We're all family, we won't take this little thing to heart."
Jiang Yue warmly took An Luo's hand, "Sister-in-law, please sit down. I heard from Lu Ye that you're pregnant?"
Anlu nodded, blushing with embarrassment.
"I just found out a couple of days ago. At first, I thought it was just an upset stomach. I really didn't expect it to be pregnancy."
After so many years of trying, she and Lu Jinglan are finally having a child.
Anlu was overjoyed.
"That's wonderful! Congratulations, sister-in-law!"
Jiang Yue had heard from Madam Lu that An Luo and Lu Jinglan had been married for so many years but had no children, which had become a source of great anxiety for An Luo.
"When my little nephew or niece is born, I will definitely prepare a big red envelope for him," Jiang Yue said with a smile.
"Okay, sister-in-law, please thank your aunt on behalf of your little nephew or niece."
Anlu touched her belly and smiled gently.
Neither she nor Lu Jinglan favored boys over girls, and they were both looking forward to the arrival of the child, regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl.
"Sister-in-law, pregnancy is tough. If you need anything or are missing anything, just tell me. I have experience in this area, so don't be shy." Jiang Yue smiled and looked at An Luo's belly. She had already given birth to two children, so she was definitely more experienced than An Luo.
"Yes, if you need anything, sister-in-law will definitely not be polite."
Although her aunt wasn't a very good person, Jiang Yue and An Luo had a good relationship and got along very well.
As Lu Jingnian listened to Jiang Yue talking to this woman, he looked at Jiang Yue with tenderness in his eyes.
He really wasn't a good husband. He wasn't there for Jiang Yue when she was pregnant or when she gave birth.
"What are you talking about that makes you seem so happy?"
Lu Jinglan walked over with two cups of hot water and handed one to Lu Jingnian. "Jingnian, I heard from my third uncle that you can't drink tea right now, so I poured you a cup of hot water."
"Thank you, brother."
Lu Jingnian took the water and put it aside.
An Luo looked up at Lu Jinglan and smiled at him, saying, "I was just talking to Yueyue about the pregnancy. You're a grown man, don't pry into so much stuff."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jinglan disagreed and said, "How can we not inquire? In fact, I should inquire more so that I can better take care of you and the baby in your belly."
After speaking, Lu Jinglan looked at Jiang Yue and said, "Sister-in-law, you haven't been in Kyoto for a while, so you don't know, but your sister-in-law has been having a particularly bad reaction these past two days. She's been vomiting everything she eats, and she's lost a lot of weight."
"I went to the hospital and asked the doctor, but the doctor didn't have any good solutions either. He said it was a pregnancy reaction and that it would usually get better after three months."
But your sister-in-law is only a little over a month pregnant. How is she going to get through the remaining month?
"It's not as serious as you say." Anlu lowered her head embarrassedly. She felt that she was being a bit too dramatic. When she saw her colleagues pregnant before, they seemed to have no problems at all and gave birth to their babies very easily.
But why does it feel so bad when it comes to her?
"You're not serious? I finally managed to drink a bowl of porridge this morning, but I threw up as soon as I stepped out the door."
Lu Jinglan looked at An Luo, her heart aching for her.
If An Luo hadn't insisted on picking up Lu Jingnian and Jiang Yue, he really wouldn't have wanted her to come out and go through all that trouble in such cold weather.
"Yueyue, did you also vomit this badly when you were pregnant?"
Lu Jinglan asked Jiang Yue.
He originally wanted to ask his mother, but considering her temper, she would probably just say that his wife was being pretentious and that he couldn't rely on her at all.
He was too embarrassed to ask his second aunt, but since he had just run into Jiang Yue, it was the best thing to ask her.
She's had two children, so she must be very experienced.
