Jin Jinxiu sighed and patted her hand, saying, "You don't have to hold back. Tell your mother if anything happens. Your mother will support you."
Qian Duoduo laughed and said, "Maybe I'm just too free right now. I'll have Brother Qian Gui bring me the school's plan later. Once I'm busy, I won't have any wild thoughts."
Jin Jinxiu originally disagreed, but Qian Duoduo's mood changed too much this time, and she really just ate, slept, and woke up every day. She could see that the old maid's mood was getting worse day by day. She secretly called her eldest daughter-in-law to discuss it and realized that she had been keeping her too close.
When Wang Rui appeared at Qian Duoduo's villa, she looked unwell. Jin Jinxiu immediately made her a cup of honey water and asked with concern, "Xiao Rui, what's wrong?"
Wang Rui sighed deeply, her face pale, and said, "Oh, I must be carsick. Just now, I felt terribly nauseous and kept gagging against a roadside lamppost. It was truly awful!"
Upon hearing this, Jin Jinxiu, who was standing nearby, immediately widened her eyes and looked Wang Rui up and down with a serious expression. Then she asked with concern, "Oh dear, Xiao Rui, you're not pregnant, are you?"
Wang Rui was taken aback by the question. She subconsciously touched her stomach and replied somewhat blankly, "Really? I don't feel anything at all?"
You see, after she and Qian Gui got their marriage certificate, the two took advantage of the May Day holiday to return to their northeastern county town and hold a lively wedding. Unfortunately, Qian Duoduo was pregnant at the time and it was inconvenient for her to go back to attend the wedding, but she still asked her father to send a large red envelope as a blessing.
Not long after their marriage, the couple rushed back from Northeast China. The reason was simple: during a prenatal checkup, Qian Duoduo discovered she was pregnant with quadruplets! This news shocked the entire family. Without hesitation, Wang Rui and Qian Gui took over Qian Duoduo's work and diligently helped her manage the household.
Lately, they've been working like spinning tops, constantly on the go. Forget about enjoying a honeymoon; they've barely had any time to rest. Every day when they get home, they're so exhausted they feel like their bones are about to fall apart, and they usually fall asleep the moment their heads hit the pillow. As for the sweet married life they once looked forward to, it's simply beyond their reach now—they neither have the energy nor the stamina to engage in it!
Jin Jinxiu's gaze fell gently on Wang Rui, and she tapped her head lightly with her finger, saying with a hint of reproach, "Look at you two, you're both so carefree!" As soon as she finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the direction where the telephone was placed, preparing to dial Qian Gui's number.
At this moment, Qian Duoduo was sitting leisurely on the sofa, his eyes fixed on Wang Rui's somewhat dazed and absent-minded appearance with great interest. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a mischievous smile, and he teased, "Oh dear, what's wrong? Were you startled? Could it be that your pregnancy hormones have increased because of your pregnancy?"
Wang Rui's eyes were only slightly red at first, but after hearing Qian Duoduo's teasing words, it was as if the softest part of her heart had been touched. Tears welled up like a burst dam, and her eyes instantly turned bright red. She quickly stepped forward and hugged Jin Jinxiu, who was on the phone with Qian Gui and talking excitedly, pressing her face against her waist and bursting into tears.
When Qian Gui, on the other end of the phone, was initially bewildered by Jin Jinxiu's barrage of insults, he was completely clueless. Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard Wang Rui crying through the receiver. His heart skipped a beat, and he could no longer remain seated. Without a word, he immediately hung up, frantically started his car, and sped out of the office towards Qian Duoduo's villa.
The distance between Qian Gui's office and Qian Duoduo's luxurious villa wasn't too far. A few minutes later, he drove to the villa's entrance. As soon as he opened the car door, he slammed it shut and ran inside. Upon entering, he saw Wang Rui, her face streaked with tears, her eyes still red. She was curled up in Jin Jinxiu's warm embrace, like a wounded fawn.
Seeing this, Qian Gui felt heartbroken and hurriedly stepped forward, tightly grasping Wang Rui's small hand, and asked anxiously, "Wife, what happened? Why are you crying like this all of a sudden?"
Wang Rui sobbed, her voice choked with emotion, "My second aunt is just like my mother, I just couldn't hold back my tears. From childhood to adulthood, my mother has never worried or gotten upset about me, let alone cared about me. I remember back in Northeast China, someone said all sorts of bad things about me in front of my mother, but at that time, my mother stood in front of me without hesitation to protect me. At that moment, I truly understood what a mother's love looks like! Now, my second aunt has made me feel that warmth and love again, it's so wonderful, so I couldn't stop the tears from flowing."
Qian Gui gazed quietly at Wang Rui, his eyes filled with tenderness and affection. He knelt down in front of her, gently reaching out to wipe away the tears that hadn't yet fallen from the corners of her eyes. Then, in an extremely gentle tone, he comforted her, "Second Aunt has always been no different from our own mother. Since we were little, we've spent at least 300 days a year at Second Aunt's house. She's always treated us like her own children. Now that you've married into our family and become Old Qian's wife, you're naturally Second Aunt's child too. How could she not love you dearly!"
After hearing this, Wang Rui nodded hurriedly while hiccuping, saying, "I know, I know!"
Jin Jinxiu sighed deeply and said helplessly, "Alright, let's talk about this later!" As she spoke, she waved to Qian Gui, who was standing to the side, signaling him to sit down quickly.
Upon seeing this, Qian Gui was slightly taken aback, then sat down next to Wang Rui and asked with concern, "What's wrong, honey? Are you sick?"
Before he could finish speaking, Jin Jinxiu couldn't help but burst out laughing. She raised her hand and gently patted Qian Gui on the forehead, saying happily, "You're such a blockhead! Your wife is most likely pregnant! Why don't you take her to the hospital for a proper checkup? She's been working so hard these past few days, you can't afford to ruin her health or harm the baby!"
Upon hearing Jin Jinxiu's words, Qian Gui was instantly stunned. After a long while, he seemed to snap out of a daze, his phoenix eyes widening in disbelief. A moment later, an undisguised surge of joy welled up inside him, and he grinned from ear to ear, his previously gentle smile now tinged with a mischievous grin, like a child who had just gotten a great deal.
