As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Lang and Sheng Xuan nodded in unison.
Yuan Heng grumbled in dissatisfaction, "I can't believe you Rongcheng people still have such old-fashioned traditional ideas! What era are we living in? You still think having many children brings good fortune!"
Sheng Xuan retorted confidently, "Not all old traditional ideas are wrong; the essence outweighs the dross. If a family doesn't have many descendants, and all the ideas are dross, wouldn't it be ruined? Do you even understand the principle of sowing widely and reaping little?"
When his grandfather was alive, he was always worried that he would have to fight alone in the future, so he urged him to marry Ning Lang as soon as possible.
Nanning and Beisheng originally referred to two large families, but now only the Ning family remains.
The reason why the Ning family has been able to stand strong to this day, with its branches growing ever more numerous and its roots becoming deeper and wider, is primarily because the family is large and united.
Of course, strict instruction and vigorous cultivation of the younger generation is also a very important reason.
The Sheng family gradually declined for many reasons, such as a small number of members, disunity among the three branches, infighting, and undermining each other.
Yuan Heng sneered: "If they were all excellent products, there would be nothing to fear. We don't need one more social scum like Sheng Yu!"
“But things still have to be done by people,” Sheng Xuan retorted. “If there are too few people, even if you have three heads and six arms, you can never do as well as three people working together. More people are always a good thing.”
Yuan Heng raised an eyebrow and asked, "That old codger Sheng Ju probably thinks that way, but will Sheng Yu think so too?"
"Yes!" Sheng Xuan said calmly, "The Sheng family has been urging their descendants to have more children for three generations. This idea has long been ingrained in their hearts, and Sheng Yu is no exception."
"You can do that too?" Yuan Heng glanced at him, amused, and asked, "Then why didn't your parents try harder to give you more younger siblings..."
"Aheng, don't ask questions." Ning Lang interjected at the right time, lowering his voice: "Aunt Sheng was in a car accident during her pregnancy. She risked her life to give birth to him, and her health has been very poor ever since. She was even bedridden for many years. He is her only child, and it was already a hard-won blessing."
Yuan Heng nodded in realization, not expecting this reason.
He was a little embarrassed and said awkwardly in a low voice, "I'm sorry."
Sheng Xuan shrugged, his usual generous nature not taking it to heart.
"No need to apologize. When I was a child, I also longed to have a younger brother or sister to play with, but unfortunately I didn't have that blessing."
He paused for a moment, then broke into a smile.
"So I've told myself since I was little that I must have at least three children in the future!"
"Clatter!" Ning Lang dropped the fork in his hand.
Yuan Heng suppressed a low laugh.
Ning Lang calmly picked up the fork and slowly and carefully wiped it clean.
"What are you two chatting about? Weren't you talking about Sheng Yu and Lin Hui'er? How did you suddenly turn to yourselves?"
Sheng Xuan picked up a xiaolongbao and ate it, muttering, "Just chatting! Anyway, Lin Huier will definitely be able to take over the Sheng family this time, but the specific model... will probably take a lot of effort and energy."
"For example?" Yuan Heng suddenly became curious and asked, "Isn't Sheng Ju also anxious to have a grandson? What other conditions might he be making?"
“Probably.” Sheng Xuan sneered. “He’s a businessman, so naturally he’s always successful. If the Lin family wants to curry favor with him, they’ll have to be sincere enough, otherwise he won’t agree easily.”
"Tsk tsk!" Yuan Heng tore off a small piece of bread and beckoned to A-Lu. "Listening to these people arguing is so annoying! My A-Lu is so much better, innocent yet sharp-tongued. My favorite!"
Ah-Lu arrogantly turned her head away, "Get lost!"
Yuan Heng: "..."
Okay, that's pretty harsh.
