Ding Qiunan said "no way" but she kept the matter firmly in her heart.
After a long day, he finally couldn't resist and, after everyone had left that night, he pulled Wenhui into her house for a private chat.
"Grandma and Grandpa are moving away? Where are they moving to? Isn't it good to live here?" Li Wenhui stared blankly at her mother and asked curiously.
“Your uncle’s workplace is building apartments through a fundraising program, and your grandma had him buy one. The apartment is about to be handed over to residents.”
Why buy an unnecessary house?
"In the end, your maternal grandmother still considers the courtyard she lives in now to be our family's house, and that they are living here as dependents."
"But I remember when we were registering the property, my grandma was adamant about not wanting it."
“She was embarrassed to ask for it. Your grandmother is quite traditional. She wants her son-in-law’s house and wants to rely on her daughter for old age. She’s worried that people will laugh at her.”
"Why don't you just say that Grandma is sexist and prefers boys to girls? And that's what you call traditional," Li Wenhui said, pursing her lips.
"You brat, how can you talk to your grandma like that?"
"Ouch, that hurts!" Li Wenhui hissed as she rubbed her arm where her mother had just pinched her.
"Mom, do you mean after Grandma and the others move out, we can move over there?"
"Yeah, that yard over there was originally yours."
"Hehe, then I'll persuade Shen Yi to move over then." Li Wenhui stopped rubbing her arm and said with a glint in her eyes.
"And the money Shen Yi brought over today, your dad told you to keep it for yourself. I'll give it to you tomorrow morning, you can deposit it on your way to work."
"Huh? Why are you giving me that dowry that was supposed to be given to our family?"
“Your dad wasn’t planning on taking it at first, but he was worried that it would look bad if he returned it, so he reluctantly agreed. But we definitely can’t take that money.”
Wenhui pouted and thought for a while before nodding: "Okay, I'll give it to you. I've already saved up quite a bit of money in my little savings account."
"Why didn't you spend any money when we bought things for your new house this time?"
“Shenyi wouldn’t let me pay for the things I bought for the family, but I did buy him a bicycle, a watch, and a set of clothes for his parents and grandfather.”
"Hmm, that's not bad either. You've never lacked money growing up, but you'll have to be more frugal after marriage. You can't be too extravagant with money. Look at how many cassette tapes you've bought." Ding Qiunan pointed to Wen Hui's desk.
Li Wenhui followed her mother's hand and glanced at her desk, sticking out her tongue: "Hehe, I like listening to music."
"Alright, just be more careful after you get married. I'm going to the front yard to look after the kids."
"Mom, wait a minute, I'm going to check on the baby too."
Inside Wenxuan's house in the front yard, the baby had just finished drinking milk and was already asleep. Wang Yueyue sat cross-legged on the sofa, looking at her husband beside her with a resentful expression.
"Brother Xuan, please, just let me go out for a walk. I won't go to the back, I'll just stroll around the front yard."
Seeing that he still refused to let her go for a walk, she had no choice but to resort to her charm and even nuzzled his arm with her head like a puppy.
"Didn't Grandma tell you during the day not to go out?"
Li Wenxuan was in a dilemma. His mother-in-law and grandmother had both told him to keep a close eye on his wife and not let her wander around outside. They said she had to behave herself during her postpartum period.
"Oh, Brother Xuan, you're a doctor, you should know my constitution very well. Besides, I'm not going far, just walking around the yard. I'll wear something warm, okay?"
She gave birth four days ago, and she hasn't stepped out of the house once. She's been staying in this house, and she's so anxious.
Oh right, and they won't let her take a shower either. Wang Yueyue feels like she's about to stink.
"Why are you wearing something thicker, Yueyue?"
Ding Qiunan, who had just reached the door, overheard the end of the conversation.
"Ah, Qiu Nan's mother and Sister Hui, you've come."
Wang Yueyue quickly waved her hand, and didn't forget to give her husband a wink, signaling him not to say anything out of line.
Ding Qiunan noticed the wink her daughter-in-law gave her son, and she smiled, pursing her lips: "Does Yueyue want to go out?"
"Huh? Haha... No, Aunt Qiu Nan, I'm in postpartum confinement, why would I want to go out? No, no, I'm not going out, hehe..."
"Come on, I know what you're thinking. Go on, didn't you say to wear something warm and remember to wear a hat?"
Wang Yueyue thought she had misheard. She looked at her mother-in-law cautiously and asked, "Aunt Qiu Nan, are you sure you're not mistaken? Can I go out?"
"Yes, you can. This afternoon, your father said you could go out for a walk, but not for long, at most half an hour."
"Really?" Wang Yueyue was so happy that her mouth almost stretched to her ears. She jumped off the sofa, ran over, hugged her mother-in-law, and gave her a kiss.
"Qiu Nan's mom, I love you the most."
"Ew~ It's all drool."
"Haha, I'm going to change my clothes."
"Be quiet, don't wake the child. If the child wakes up again, you shouldn't go out."
Seeing his wife excitedly running into the bedroom to change her clothes, Li Wenxuan looked at his mother and said with a wry smile, "Mom, is this really okay? Grandma and her mother just said during the day that she shouldn't leave the room, saying that it's bad for a new mother to be exposed to drafts."
"Oh dear, you're a doctor, don't you know your own wife's health condition? Just keep an eye on her, and make sure she doesn't go out for a walk with her grandma and mom."
"Deceiving Emperor Kangxi"
"Okay, Mom."
"What a silly boy. Also, when you come back later, fill a basin with water and help her wipe her body, then wash Yueyue's hair, and adjust the water temperature to be just right."
"Oh, I've got it."
Li Wenhui, who was looking after the baby in the bedroom, poked her head out and asked, "Mom, isn't it said that you can't wash your hair or take a bath during postpartum confinement?"
"Pshaw, it'll stink! How can you keep your hair if you don't wash it for a month? You'll understand when you're in postpartum confinement."
Wang Yueyue, who was changing clothes inside, also heard what her mother-in-law said. After changing her clothes, she took her coat and came out.
"Thank you, Qiu Nan's mom, you're the best."
"No need to thank me. Your father agreed to all of this. If he hadn't agreed, I wouldn't have let you do whatever you wanted."
After saying that, Ding Qiunan instructed Wenxuan, "Your dad said you should keep track of Yueyue and the baby's health at all times. Children this age are the most troublesome, so this is a good opportunity for you to start learning."
"Alright, go take Yueyue for a walk in the yard. Huihui and I will take care of the child."
After the two of them left, Ding Qiunan also came into the bedroom, and Li Wenhui knelt by the bed and quietly watched her sleeping nephew.
"Mom, look, this little guy looks just like Yueyue."
