From Chenshi (7-9 AM) to Wushi (11 AM-1 PM), and from Wushi (11 AM-1 PM) to Shenshi (3-5 PM).
Zhang was exhausted, but the baby still hadn't been born.
When Gu Xin heard that her aunt had fallen silent, she hesitated for a moment, then quietly had Xiao Yu spit out a jade bead and put it into the water that Gu Hui was preparing to give to Zhang Shi.
Fifteen minutes later, Zhang's child was born.
It was a boy. Although he was premature, he cried quite loudly and wasn't listless like other premature babies.
After giving Cai Xiaolian a smug look, Zhang fell asleep contentedly.
Cai Xiaolian: "..."
"Second daughter-in-law, come out for dinner!" Grandma Gu cleaned the baby, wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and placed him in Gu Shouli's arms before calling Cai Xiaolian to go out for dinner together.
"Um, Mother, can my eldest brother take care of the baby?" Cai Xiaolian asked worriedly, looking at the tall and strong Gu Shouli, who was still in a daze.
“He’s a father of three, how could he not take care of the baby? Do you want to stay and help your sister-in-law take care of the baby?” Grandma Gu asked rhetorically.
Cai Xiaolian quickly shook her head and went out with Grandma Gu.
It's already this late, and the entire Gu family has already returned.
Gu Nian finally got to know all the members of the Gu family. From her first impression, she liked her grandfather quite a bit.
After the meal, Grandma Gu called Cai Xiaolian into her room.
"What's wrong, Mother?" Cai Xiaolian asked nervously.
The mother-in-law in my memory was not easy to get along with, and she was a shrewd person. If it weren't for the sudden events today, she really wouldn't have wanted to come to the old house.
"The second son said he wants to continue his studies, and he said you support him. Tell me, what are your thoughts?" Grandma Gu asked bluntly.
“I…I just support him!” Cai Xiaolian was taken aback, somewhat confused about what the old lady meant.
"How can you support her? Are you going to grow a few bushes of vegetables to keep Gu Nian busy with her embroidery? Are you going to make Gu Xin do all the housework? Does Gu Nian not want to see anymore? Are you really going to let Gu Xin go hungry and cold? A few bushes of vegetables sold will only be enough to buy one pen." Grandma Gu glanced at Cai Xiaolian and asked.
Cai Xiaolian: "..."
"Second son's wife, you've been married to your husband for over twenty years, living a muddled life every day. Don't you have any thoughts about yourself or your two daughters?" Grandma Gu softened her tone and asked again.
“Mom, actually, after this incident, her father, Niannian, and I discussed the future of our family. Niannian doesn’t plan to do embroidery anymore; it really hurts her eyes. We plan to start a small business. Her father will go to school, and Xinxin will stay at home. Well, we won’t let Xinxin do everything like before.” Cai Xiaolian still planned to have a good talk with the old lady. As for whether the old lady believed her or not, she couldn’t care less.
"Small business? What kind of business?" Grandma Gu looked at Cai Xiaolian suspiciously.
She always felt that her second son's family, except for Xin Xin, had changed. Could it be that they had really turned over a new leaf?
“Niannian has come up with a delicious dish that we’re planning to sell. Mother, I’ll bring you some to try when Niannian finishes making it,” Cai Xiaolian said.
"Food?" Grandma Gu frowned, unconvinced, and said, "This time, the second son has three hundred taels of gambling debt. He told us he would figure it out himself. Do you know what kind of plan he's coming up with?"
Cai Xiaolian shook her head: "Her father told me not to interfere, saying that I should just stay home and take good care of the child."
