Chapter 103 He Ying Returns to Her Parents' Home

Shen Yun directly sent the carriage to He's house to send He Ying home.

When they arrived outside the He residence, Shen Yuan carefully helped his sister-in-law out of the car. "Sister-in-law, please say hello to my aunt for me. When my brother comes home another day, I will come with him to pick you up. Um... after we go back today, I will ask Yingchun to come over as well."

Shen Yuan knew that her sister-in-law would come home today and tell her aunt about her pregnancy. The mother and daughter would surely have a lot to talk about, so it would be better for her not to disturb them at this moment.

"Okay, sister-in-law will wait for you to come over."

The Shen family's carriage left only after watching He Ying enter the door.

After He Ying returned home, she first went to see her grandfather who was idle at home. Mrs. He was shocked to hear from the servants that her daughter had returned to her parents' home alone without even a maid. She was worried that something had happened to her daughter at the Shen family. But after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it would not be the case. Her son-in-law was not at home, and it was impossible for him to have any conflict with her daughter.

She couldn't sit still anymore, so she went straight to her father-in-law's yard and waited for her daughter to come out.

He Ying's mother only gave birth to her as a daughter. She suffered heavy bleeding during childbirth, which frightened He's father so much that the couple never had any more children.

However, He Ying's grandparents were very understanding and advised their son and daughter-in-law not to force themselves to have children, but to raise their daughter well.

When He Ying was three years old, her grandfather personally taught her poetry and literature. Therefore, the relationship between the two was very deep.

"Yingniang? Why are you back today? Are you here alone?"

After greeting her grandfather, He Ying walked over to him and ground some ink for him. "I came back alone, grandfather. I came back today because I have something important to tell you."

"Oh? What's the matter?" He Jianzhi saw the joy on his granddaughter's face and guessed that it must be good news.

"The thing is, you're going to be a great-grandfather!"

"Really?!" The old man was so happy that he almost jumped up.

"Put it down, put it down. Why are you still grinding ink? How many months has it been? You just found out today? Are you okay? Just send me a message and we'll go see you. Why are you making this trip?"

He Ying had rarely seen her grandfather like this since she was a child, and with so many questions coming at her at once, she didn't know which one to answer first.

"I took it out today. I had dinner with my father-in-law and Manman outside today. I smelled mutton and felt like vomiting, so I called a doctor. The doctor said I was two months pregnant. My father-in-law said I was pregnant and must want to go home to see my grandfather and my parents, so he asked me to stay at home for a few days and wait for my husband to come back and pick me up."

"What a coincidence! I remember that when your mother was pregnant with you, she couldn't stand the smell of beef or mutton. Your father-in-law is thoughtful. You can stay at home for a few days so that your mother can tell you what you should pay attention to when you are pregnant. You can go see your mother first. She knows you are coming back and must be waiting for you. Ask the kitchen to make more of your favorite food in the evening."

"Yes, Grandfather."

"By the way, are you feeling unwell now? Do you want to ask the doctor in the mansion to take your pulse again?"

He Ying had even walked to the door when she was called again. However, she was very happy because it was the concern of her family.

"No need, Grandpa. I'm not feeling unwell now."

"Okay, okay, then you go meet your mother first." He Jianzhi said as he was about to take down the Book of Songs and Chu Ci from the bookshelf and flip through them. He had to think carefully about naming his child.

He Ying came out of the study and walked into the yard. She saw her mother looking inside from outside the yard, so she quickened her pace and walked over.

"Mother, why are you here?"

"The servants said you came back alone. I was a little worried. Is everything okay? How come you came back so suddenly without even a maid?"

He Ying took her mother's hand and led her back. "There is something wrong, but it's a good thing. Let's go back to the room first."

Along the way, He's mother wanted to ask several times, but she held back. As long as it was not a bad thing, it was fine.

He Ying directly took her mother back to the courtyard where she lived before she got married. Compared with other families, she went back to her parents' home quite often after she got married, and someone cleaned the house every day.

After sitting down, He Yingcai took her mother's hand and gently placed it on her belly, "Mom, I'm pregnant. I'm two months pregnant."

When He's mother heard this, her eyes suddenly widened. If her hand had not been on her daughter's belly, she would have stood up immediately.

"I just got it out today. My father-in-law asked me to come home and stay for a few days. He said I'm pregnant and my mother must have a lot of instructions for me."

"That's great, that's great. I didn't expect that I'd be a grandmother soon. Are you feeling unwell? Are you having morning sickness? What would you like to eat?"

It was more than just something she wanted to tell someone. He's mother felt like she had so much to say that she didn't know what to do.

"Don't worry, mother. I'm fine. I just felt like vomiting when I smelled mutton. I just told grandfather about it. He said you felt the same way when you were pregnant with me."

Hearing this, He's mother was a little surprised, "When I was pregnant with you, I really couldn't stand the smell of beef and mutton. I wanted to vomit when I smelled it from a distance. I didn't expect your grandfather to still remember this."

He's mother thought that her father-in-law was the kind of person who only cared about reading books of sages, but she didn't expect that he would even remember things like women having morning sickness during pregnancy.

"I just told my grandfather about this and he was very happy too. He said he never thought he would become a great-grandfather so soon."

"That's right. When your father comes back, he will be the same. When I was pregnant with you, you were very well behaved. You could eat anything except beef and mutton, and you didn't mind making a fuss. It would be better if you were like me, so you would suffer less."

Then, he started to worry again, "Production must not be like me, it must be smooth."

"Mother...you must have been very scared when I was born, right?"

"I was afraid. I was afraid that something would happen to me and I wouldn't be able to see you grow up. But the moment I saw you, I wasn't afraid anymore." The danger of childbirth seemed to have happened just yesterday, and in the blink of an eye, my daughter is about to become a mother.

"Have you sent someone to tell your son-in-law that you are pregnant?"

"No, he came back in two days. I treated it as a surprise for him. If I tell him now, he will definitely come back home immediately. My father-in-law told me to stay at home for a few days and let him pick me up when my husband comes back."

"Your father-in-law is a really nice person. It's not easy for him to be both a father and a mother for so many years. You and your son-in-law must be filial to him in the future." He's mother felt that even if they ignored their personal relationship and only looked at the relationship between the two families, her father-in-law was a very good person.

"I know, Mother."

"Okay, take a break. I'll go to the kitchen and ask them to make you some appetizing and refreshing dishes."

At the Shen family's side, Shen Yuan and her father returned home. The huge house was very quiet, with almost no sound.

"Once my niece or nephew is born, our house will be bustling."

Shen Yun imagined the scene and couldn't help laughing again.

"Yeah, it will be very lively then. If you are like me, our house will be even more lively."

"Everyone says my niece Xiao Gu, maybe she looks like me!"
