Yu Jiu spoke slowly and deliberately, clearly showing her anger. If Zhu Zi's father didn't have any sense of propriety, Yu Jiu was about to explode.
“Yu Zhiqing, what are you saying? If you don’t have a son, you won’t have a grandson either. Wouldn’t the Xu family line end in your hands? Forget about work, your son is your only support.”
"If you don't want to feed him, that's fine, I won't force you. There's no need to get so angry. Our Xiaokang has so many people vying to feed him; who wouldn't be happy to see my big, chubby boy? It's just that you're being unreasonable; you can't even accept good things from me."
Zhu Zi's father gave a sarcastic snort, picked up his chubby grandson, and turned to leave. Yu Jiu didn't want to feed his grandson, and he didn't want to feed her now either. He held his grandson as if he were holding a heavy nugget of gold, thinking everyone would covet him.
"snort."
"No need, I'm used to good food, I won't miss yours."
Yu Jiu retorted directly, "Having a grandson makes people think he's made a fortune."
He had just walked out carrying his chubby grandson when Xu Zijiang returned carrying little An'an. Xu Zijiang originally wanted to greet Zhu Zi's father, but unexpectedly, Zhu Zi's father took his anger out on Xu Zijiang, snorted at him, and left without looking back.
"What's wrong with him?"
Xu Zijiang asked Yu Jiu, puzzled.
Yu Jiu picked up little An'an and gave her a big kiss before speaking.
"He wanted me to feed his child again. When I didn't want to, he said something unpleasant, but I retorted."
Yu Jiu shrugged and said casually, then continued to tease her precious daughter, poking An'an's fair and tender little chubby cheeks.
"Are you hungry, baby? Do you miss Mommy? How about I feed you now?"
"Aww, woof~~~"
Little An'an stared at Yu Jiu with her big, dark grape-like eyes, then grinned, revealing a wide smile, and even let out a soft "woof." She waved her arms and legs excitedly, seemingly overjoyed to see her biological mother.
"What you said is right, isn't it, baby?"
"Waaaaah~~~"
Little An'an can't speak yet, she just keeps smiling at Yu Jiu. Her little mouth moves and she makes some kind of baby talk for a long time.
"She's probably hungry. I took her out to play and she got tired and a little fussy, so I brought her back. I was planning to make her some formula, but since you're back, why don't you feed her?"
We won't bother with the neighbor's child. We're too busy raising our own An'an to care about them. If Xiaoxi can't feed the baby, they should buy formula and find other ways to help. Nobody will feed their baby forever.
Uncle Liu has really lost his mind this time; he completely changes when it comes to his eldest grandson.
Xu Zijiang was naturally on his wife's side. Yu Jiu and Zhu Zi's father had a quarrel, so it must be Zhu Zi's father's fault. There was no way Xu Zijiang would side with him.
"You're right, I used to think Uncle Liu's family was pretty nice."
Yu Jiu shook her head, carried An'an back to the room, lifted her clothes and fed little An'an the food he was familiar with. As soon as he smelled that familiar aroma, he immediately clung tightly to Yu Jiu's clothes and drank it down in big gulps.
Her little hands are very strong, and her eyes are wide open and bright when she eats, which shows that she is in a very happy mood.
"Little gluttonous cat."
Xu Zi squeezed his daughter's chubby little hand, then ruffled Yu Jiu's long hair before going out to cook.
It wasn't until dinner time that Yu Jiu told Xu Zi about the counter.
"I couldn't reach an agreement with that Manager Li. I think he's a bit greedy, so I'll just let it go."
"Never mind then, it's not a big deal. We're already quite busy. You have to go to work every day and then feed An'an when you get back. We probably don't have that much time to make that many snacks. If we can keep an eye on this counter, we can earn a lot of money every month."
"Oh, right, we're almost out of that layered red bean cake. I'll make some more tonight."
Xu Zijiang then comforted Yu Jiu, afraid that she would be sad.
"good."
"By the way, how are Lin Zheng and Xiao Rong doing lately?"
Yu Jiu hadn't asked about the two brothers for a long time, and lately she was busy with work and taking care of her child, so she didn't have much time for other people. She could only chat for a while during meals because little An'an had already fallen asleep after drinking her milk.
"They're fine. They're doing their jobs and going to school, and they're adapting quite well. We don't need to worry about them anymore. But I recently heard that a girl has taken a liking to Lin Zheng. I'm wondering if I should interfere."
When this matter was brought up, Xu Zijiang frowned, clearly somewhat troubled. The Lin brothers, Lin Zheng and Lin Rong, had special identities, but Lin Zheng was of marriageable age.
While it's normal for someone his age not to be married, many men are, mainly because young women like him and might be pursuing him. He wonders if it would be inappropriate for Lin Zheng to date and marry a local girl.
I don't know when his father's situation will be settled, or when things will improve again. If he gets married here and his father's situation improves again, then they'll have to go back. Given their family's status, they might not even be able to find a suitable daughter-in-law from the countryside. Even if they are, the girl will have to leave her hometown with them.
Living so far away, it's normal for them not to be able to come back for three to five years, which is a bit cruel for the girl's parents.
"Why interfere? Just respect his decision. Or you could ask him what he thinks first. What if he never intended to get married in the first place? Then you'd be worrying for nothing."
Yu Jiu is very open-minded about marriage now. If you like someone, you get married; if you don't, you break up. That's all there is to it.
"That's true. Maybe he didn't have that intention. Actually, it's better for everyone if he didn't. It's good for him and for the girl. People who aren't compatible shouldn't be together."
Xu Zijiang sighed, saying that if he had never been out in the world, he wouldn't have known what "marrying someone of equal social standing" meant, or that marriage could be subject to a variety of constraints.
"Oh, by the way, Gouzi and Zhang Yan are getting married. Shouldn't we give them a gift? What kind of wedding present do you think would be good?"
Zhang Yan is Yu Jiu's good friend, and Gouzi grew up with Xu Zijiang, so they're practically his younger brother. Whether as good friends or as his older brother and sister-in-law, it's only right that they give him a gift.
"Do we still need to buy a gift? If you ask me, let's keep it simple and straightforward. Just give him a generous gift of money, and let him buy whatever he likes."
