"Won't this make things very hard for Mom?" Shen Qiaoyue thought that her mother had worked her whole life and was already exhausted. If she had to take care of the child, wouldn't she be even more tired?
Liu Xinlan chimed in, "Auntie might prefer having a house full of children and grandchildren."
