Qiu Xiulan walked over, stood behind Shen Congying, and shouted, "Mom!"
Shen Congying was laughing happily, but when he heard it, he was startled and turned around. The smile on his face froze, and he asked politely but distantly, "What's wrong?"
All the joy and laughter seemed to be paused. Qin Wanxue was bending over to touch Ji Xia's belly, and Qin Xiao helped her to cover them. Even Qin Wanxue's bending movement stopped.
Qiu Xiulan felt extremely mocked. She was the eldest daughter-in-law in the family, but these people had never opened their hearts to her. She didn't even know that she had become a monster.
"Mom, you may think that I should divorce Chang Ruo. After all, I have been married for three years and still have no children. But, as an elder, have you ever worried about us for so long?
"After Changshuo turned thirty, you never once asked me if I could have children, and you didn't seem to care," Qiu Xiulan reprimanded.
Ji Xia was just surprised, but this matter had nothing to do with her.
Qin Xiao was afraid that his wife was hungry, so he helped her into the restaurant and asked Aunt Liu to get her some food first.
Old Master Qin's face was as gloomy as water, but this matter was really difficult for him to handle.
Qin Changshuo said unhappily, "This is a matter between us, and has nothing to do with my parents."
Qiu Xiulan shrieked, "How can it not matter? What mother-in-law doesn't care whether her daughter-in-law is pregnant or not? If it doesn't matter, why is your mother so happy that your sister-in-law is pregnant?"
Ji Xia just drank a sip of soup, took a bite of steamed bun, and was eating the melon, but the melon turned out to be himself.
She was stunned for a moment, looked at Qin Wanxue blankly, and asked her what was going on with her eyes.
Qin Wanxue's brows were furrowed as if a fly could die, and she looked like she was enduring something.
Chen Congying sighed, "Xiu Lan, you just said that you are all over thirty, and thirty is the age of independence. We, as parents, are old. If you have children and want me to help take care of them, I will definitely be willing to take good care of them. If you don't want to have children, or can't have children, we, as parents, will not interfere. Now is a new society, and your feudal ideas are unacceptable!"
Qiu Xiulan was obviously emotionally broken. As the daughter-in-law of the same family, how was Ji Xia treated, and how was she treated?
When she got married, she packed her clothes in a bundle and moved to Qin Changshuo's residence without notifying her relatives and friends or holding a wedding banquet.
But Ji Xia was in Bing County, and her mother-in-law was talking about choosing a date to invite relatives and friends to dinner. She had set the eighth day of the first lunar month, and she would invite everyone and buy supplies everywhere. Fortunately, Ji Xia was pregnant and could not come to Beijing, otherwise, she would not know where to put her face.
She complained to Qin Changshuo about the injustice of her parents-in-law, but after hearing it, he just looked at her coldly, and that look was really meaningful.
"Is it that I don't want to give birth? Is it that I can't give birth? No!" Qiu Xiulan screamed and jumped up and down like crazy.
She pointed at Qin Changshuo and yelled at Shen Congying, "Why don't you ever ask your good son why we haven't had any children in three years of marriage?"
Qin Changshuo shouted angrily, "Shut up!"
He clenched his fists tightly. If it weren't for his status, he really wanted to hit someone.
Qin Wanxue jumped up in anger. She rushed to Qiu Xiulan and pushed her away. "Why are you yelling at my mother about what happened between you and my eldest brother? Is there a daughter-in-law like you in this world? You don't even have the most basic manners. Fortunately, my eldest brother didn't have children with you, otherwise, you would have ruined the children in the future."
Qiu Xiulan raised her hand to scratch Qin Wanxue and cursed like crazy, "Is there a sister-in-law like you in the world? Do you want to fight?"
Qin Changshuo pulled Qin Wanxue and blocked her behind him. He grabbed Qiu Xiulan's wrist and pushed her forward, away from him. "Qiu Xiulan, calm down and don't go crazy!"
These words could drive a normal woman crazy, let alone someone like Qiu Xiulan who is already crazy.
"Qin Changshuo, are you still a man? You and I have been married for three years, and you have never touched me!" She turned her head to face Shen Congying, and found that there was no surprise on the mother-in-law's face. In an instant, her anger rose to the peak, "So, you all knew!"
She stepped back in disbelief.
Ji Xia was very surprised and kept her mouth open for a long time.
Qin Xiao watched with great interest. He removed the fat from a piece of braised pork and fed the lean meat into Ji Xia's mouth. Ji Xia chewed instinctively, his eyes fixed on the battlefield without any distraction.
She saw that her mother-in-law looked very calm from beginning to end, except when Qiu Xiulan said that Qin Changshuo had never touched her, a trace of barely perceptible heartache flashed in her mother-in-law's eyes.
As a mother, anyone would feel heartbroken to see their son’s marriage like this.
"Xiu Lan, since you respect me as your elder, I'm going to tell you something from the bottom of my heart. The purpose of marriage is to achieve happiness, not to tie two people together. I'm not trying to persuade you to divorce. What's the point of making such a fuss?"
Chen Cong Yingyu said seriously, "This is nothing like other things. I can't tie my son up and do anything to you. You are husband and wife. Even if I am your mother-in-law, I can't control what happens in your room. There are also your brother-in-law and his wife, as well as your sister-in-law here. Let's talk about these things later!"
Qiu Xiulan gritted her teeth and glared at Ji Xia angrily. She looked around at everyone and saw that no one was willing to speak up for her. Finally, she yelled at Qin Changshuo, "Are you waiting for me to divorce you so you can marry someone else?"
She didn't dare to reveal Lu Dai's name, mainly because she was afraid that the Qin family would pay attention to her.
