"Juanzi! You've been with Brother Zhang for so many years, hasn't he ever urged you to have a child?"
Lin Qingyu's mouth kept moving, just like the people in Pear Blossom Village.
"And your in-laws, I remember they only have Zhang Ge as their son! They can't just not urge them, can they?"
"Or is it that Brother Zhang's health wasn't good in his younger years, and even after he was cured, he still can't have children? Oh dear, you're so pitiful, Juanzi!"
Li Juan finally couldn't hold back any longer. She looked up at Lin Qingyu and said, "Qingyu, can't you say less?"
Lin Qingyu immediately shut her mouth, not daring to continue.
Li Juan was furious, her face flushed, and said, "You may not be a virgin anymore, but you should watch your words! This kind of thing, how can you bring it up like that!"
She didn't know if she was angry or embarrassed, but her face was still red after she finished speaking.
Lin Qingyu smiled sheepishly and said, "Oh, I've just been living in the village for so long, I'm used to it!"
Li Juan suddenly asked her, "What about you? You had a daughter, but Gu Shi didn't pressure you to have a son?"
"Oh dear, how can we be the same?"
"How can it be different? Your Gu Shi owns so many factories, you can't let that little girl inherit them in the future!"
This time, Lin Qingyu didn't dare to speak. Although she didn't have many demands regarding these things, and didn't care about her son or daughter, explaining would only cause trouble.
She could only agree, saying, "You're right."
Seeing that she had stopped talking, Li Juan quickly changed the subject, saying, "Since you like my vases so much, why don't you pick one to take home?"
Speaking of this, Lin Qingyu's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly.
"Really? Your stuff is so expensive, you're willing to share it with me!"
Although that's what she said, Lin Qingyu's eyes were already wandering around the living room.
Li Juan smiled and said, "It's alright, you can take one home and use it for your little girl to arrange flowers! It'll look classy!"
Lin Qingyu stood up without ceremony: "Then I'll just take a look around. Anyway, your Brother Zhang is so good at making money, he probably wouldn't be interested in these pittances!"
She looked around first, and finally stopped, standing on the stairs in the living room.
This is the spiral staircase leading upstairs. On each of the two handrails, there is a terracotta-colored bottle.
"Juanzi, I remember there used to be a white vase here, didn't you?"
Li Juan glanced at it and casually said, "Maybe they replaced her. What, you prefer the old one?"
Lin Qingyu had a rather common, street-smart look on her face, smiling foolishly.
"Hehe, yeah! I thought it was so beautiful when I came last time. It's a blue and white porcelain piece, isn't it? Juanzi, you have such good taste."
As she spoke, she gave Li Juan a thumbs-up. Li Juan was a little uncomfortable with her behavior and waved her hand.
“I remember I broke one a while ago and had it replaced. If you like it, I’ll send it to you later.”
Lin Qingyu quickly ran over obsequiously, saying, "Oh dear, I can't accept that, hahaha!"
Li Juan felt that Lin Qingyu's behavior was somewhat unseemly, so she spoke up to correct her.
"Qingyu, what's wrong with you? You weren't like this before."
Lin Qingyu sighed and said, "Sigh! I really like your vase. I've been cooped up at home every day lately, and having a pretty vase makes me feel a little more comfortable."
Li Juan didn't speak, but glanced at Lin Qingyu, feeling that something was off.
She walked up to Lin Qingyu and tentatively asked, "After your accident, you haven't come out at all?"
Lin Qingyu remained calm and looked directly into Li Juan's eyes.
"Yeah, I've been stuck in the brick factory all day, dealing with red bricks all day long. They finally let me out recently!"
Seeing her dissatisfied expression, Li Juan comforted her, "Gu Shi is only doing this for your own good. You know, you've already gotten into several troubles in Xinshi City alone!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingyu suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, but she didn't show it on her face and continued to explain.
"That's right! I was able to get out of here this time by trading for a small restaurant. Juanzi, you have no idea, I won't be able to go to small restaurants anymore!"
"Huh? That restaurant was doing just fine, why did you suddenly decide to close it down?"
"There's no other way. Gu Shi won't let me go, so this is the only option!"
Lin Qingyu's words were unclear, but Li Juan completely misunderstood her meaning.
"Why don't you sell the restaurant to me? It'll be one of our own people anyway, and besides, your little restaurant is doing pretty well. It would be such a waste to just give it away!"
"ah?"
Lin Qingyu looked at Li Juan with a puzzled expression, and Li Juan just watched her leave. For a moment, neither of them spoke.
After a while, Lin Qingyu belatedly said, "Oh! I'm not closing the shop, it's just that I can't come here anymore. Consider it a retirement!"
Li Juan then understood what she meant and stopped mentioning the matter.
The two sat in Li Juan's large living room and chatted.
Before long, someone brought out seasonal fruits, brewed hot tea, and warm snacks from the north of the city.
This was indeed the first time Lin Qingyu had ever seen such a scene. Having lived two lives, she was finally experiencing the life of the wealthy.
She was so engrossed in the food on the table that she didn't notice Li Juan giving a few instructions to the servants.
After a while, Lin Qingyu had only eaten a few pieces of star fruit when someone else came in with something.
Li Juan took the initiative to explain, "Qingyu, is this the vase you like?"
Someone was carrying a wooden tray with something covered by a black cloth on it.
As Li Juan finished speaking, she directly lifted the cloth, and the blue and white porcelain vase on the tray was brazenly revealed to Lin Qingyu.
"This... didn't you say it was broken? How come..."
Lin Qingyu thought she had made a mistake and her speech became somewhat incoherent.
Li Juan covered her mouth and laughed, "The one that was broken was the previous pair. As long as you have money, there's nothing you can't do!"
Even so, she only took out a vase, leaving it all alone.
Fortunately, Lin Qingyu didn't mind these things. Instead, the two sisters held Li Juan's hands warmly and kept thanking her.
"You've really gone to so much trouble, Juanzi, you're so kind!"
Li Juan said nonchalantly, "Qingyu, isn't your Gu Shi quite good at making money? You should make him spend money on you!"
"He does make some money, sigh! Let's not talk about that. To thank you, Juanzi, I have something nice to give you."
After Lin Qingyu finished speaking, she waved her hand, wanting the little girl carrying the tray to leave quickly.
The young girl glanced at Li Juan, and only after receiving her approval did she put down her things and leave.
Lin Qingyu pulled Li Juan to sit on the sofa and spoke to her mysteriously.
"Juanzi, I recently found a secret recipe that supposedly guarantees a boy! Whether you couldn't conceive before or had other health issues..."
Before Lin Qingyu could finish speaking, Li Juan impatiently interrupted her.
