Zhou Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what his daughter-in-law said.
However, before I could relax for two seconds, I was worried again: My daughter-in-law is young now, so I think it’s okay. But when she gets older and sees that people around her have filial children, what should I do if something happens?
"Yue'er..."
Zhou Ying carefully handed the freshly washed grapes to Liu Ruyue, and said with a hint of humility in his tone: "Yue'er, how about you pick a child to adopt and raise under your name?
There are many children without families out there nowadays. You can pick one that suits your taste and raise it at home. Then there will be someone to take care of you when you are old..."
After hearing what her mother-in-law said, Liu Ruyue was a little confused: In the previous world, it was Fu Sinian who was urged to adopt a child, but how come in this world, she was the one being urged to adopt a child?
Seeing Liu Ruyue frowning slightly, Zhou Ying thought he had said something wrong and quickly added, "If you and Anian are busy and don't have time to take care of the child, his father and I can help educate him!"
Looking at Zhou Ying being so cautious as if afraid of getting her angry, and then looking at her father-in-law who was pretending to read a book but actually had his ears perked up, Liu Ruyue found it interesting: these old couple were really too cautious with their daughter-in-law. She didn't act like the parents-in-law, but more like a servant in the house.
However, although this was related to the good nature of my parents-in-law, the most important reason was Fu Sinian's attitude.
When a woman marries into a family, how the people in that family treat her depends entirely on her man's attitude towards her.
If your husband cherishes you and cares about you, your parents-in-law will respect you and care about you.
If even your husband doesn’t respect you and care about you, don’t expect your parents-in-law to respect you!
Therefore, the old couple cared so much about her thoughts all because of Fu Sinian's attitude towards her.
They treated her well for Fu Sinian's sake, and she would also treat the two old people well for Fu Sinian's sake.
So, when she saw Zhou Ying still frowning and thinking about how to persuade her to adopt a child, Liu Ruyue said directly: "Mom, I might be pregnant..."
"Why……"
Zhou Ying likes her daughter. Every time her sweet and gentle daughter-in-law calls her "Mom", she responds happily.
This time was no exception. However, as soon as he responded, his mind exploded. His eyes widened and he looked at Liu Ruyue in disbelief: "You, what did you say?"
The father-in-law, who was pretending to read but actually stayed on the same page, dropped the book in his hand and jumped over with agility that did not match his age. He excitedly asked Liu Ruyue:
"Daughter-in-law, what did you say?"
Seeing the old couple's excitement, Liu Ruyue placed her hand on her still flat belly and said innocently, "Mom, my period has always been quite regular, but this time, it's been over a month and I haven't had my period yet..."
Liu Ruyue's words were tactful, but to the old couple's ears it became: I'm pregnant, and I'm giving you a big fat grandson!
Liu Ruyue was afraid that if she appeared too confident, the old couple would think she was more experienced. She blushed, her eyes began to evade, and her tone became uncertain:
"But maybe I'm just overthinking it and just can't adapt to the local climate abroad..."
"No, no, no, it must be there!"
How could Zhou Ying allow such a "possibility" to exist?
As she spoke with such conviction, the usually elegant woman slapped her thigh excitedly and said to her man, "Quick, call Doctor Qin over!"
Doctor Qin was a traditional Chinese medicine doctor who was kept in the Marshal's Mansion. Fu Sinian's father just shouted twice at the top of his lungs, and he came over with a medicine box.
"Quick, quick, take my daughter-in-law's pulse..."
Doctor Qin had just run over breathlessly, and before he could catch his breath, he was ordered around by Fu Sinian's father.
Zhou Ying next to him even made way for him and urged Doctor Qin to go in quickly.
The anxious look of the old couple made Dr. Qin very confused: Could it be that the lady has a terminal illness?
"But you're pregnant?"
"But?"
…
As soon as Doctor Qin placed his hand on Liu Ruyue's pulse, the old couple asked excitedly.
After hearing the two people's questions, Doctor Qin understood: it turned out that they suspected that his wife was pregnant. No wonder the old couple were so excited.
After all, if his son had difficulty in having children like the Marshal, he would definitely be more excited than the old couple.
But, can the difficulty of having an heir be solved by being aggressive?
While taking the patient's pulse, Doctor Qin was already thinking about how to comfort the old couple who were so disappointed.
However, he never expected that he would actually detect a pregnancy pulse in his wife's hand.
"Pregnant, pregnant?"
This time, the excited person became Doctor Qin. He immediately became serious and took Liu Ruyue's pulse carefully again.
The old couple standing nearby had their eyes reddened the moment they heard what Doctor Qin said. They looked at each other, both excitedly waiting for Doctor Qin's final diagnosis.
"Madam is really pregnant!"
Doctor Qin carefully examined the patient's pulse again and excitedly concluded, "Furthermore, the lady may be pregnant with twins or more..."
"What?"
"More than twins?"
"So it's possible they're triplets?"
"Oh my god, what kind of shit luck did our Fu family have?"
…
Upon hearing Doctor Qin’s diagnosis, the old couple were so excited that their voices choked with sobs: Ahhhh, ancestors bless us, Anian is having a child!
Seeing the old couple jumping and yelling with excitement over the news of multiple births, Liu Ruyue could only shyly say, "Maybe people in my family are more fertile..."
After Liu Ruyue's reminder, the old couple immediately thought of their in-laws' descendants, which were indeed quite strong.
Now that my daughter-in-law is pregnant, it is probably because the descendants of the Liu family have brought good fortune to my family.
"Yue'er, you are truly the lucky star of our Fu family. Ever since you married into our family, good things have been happening all the time!"
Zhou Ying held Liu Ruyue's hand and said in a somewhat inappropriate manner, "Mom, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. An Nian's offspring has become a source of worry for me. I have always felt that I may not be able to become a grandmother in this lifetime.
You don’t know, every time I see my old sisters playing with their sweet and soft grandchildren, I feel so envious!
Now, I will have a grandson myself soon.
From now on, I’ll see who dares to show off in front of me…”
Seeing his wife's increasingly outrageous remarks, Fu Sinian's father coughed and said, "Daughter-in-law, even if you give birth to a granddaughter, we would still like her."
After hearing what the old man said, Zhou Yingcai realized that he had said the wrong thing. Would his words just now put pressure on Yue'er and make her think that he only liked grandsons and not granddaughters?
