Wen Xueyi sighed and walked in. "I thought you found a pretty good family to marry into, but it turns out it's a mess."
Jiang Qiao gave a wry smile. "Life isn't perfect. Even if I don't have mother-in-law/daughter-in-law conflicts, they'll come from other places. They're not big deals. I'm just worried that Ning Hao will get caught in the middle and upset. So, I thought I'd give him a heads-up. Men are often oblivious to things. Besides, I don't care about others, I care about my man."
Wen Xueyi handed the bowl to Jiang Qiao, saying, "Drink up, your grandma made this for you—"
Without saying a word, Jiang Qiao took the drink and downed it in one gulp, making Wen Xueyi's eyes widen in surprise; the action was too unrestrained.
"Do you want to sleep a little longer?"
Jiang Qiao shook her head. "I've had enough sleep, Aunt. Did you come here on some other business? Where's my uncle?"
As soon as Jiang Qiao spoke, Wen Xueyi smiled and said, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you. We went to place an order for your cousin beforehand. The father and son had their eyes on a girl who was also working on a farm. The parents and the girl are both nice. We went and saw plenty of her."
After the two families finalized the agreement, your uncle went to see your cousin. After all, she's a member of the Wen family; he needs to see her to put his mind at ease, right?
The girl that Wen Songtao and his friends took a liking to must be a good person. As for Wen Ziling, Jiang Qiao felt a bit of a headache for Wen Zhongxuan.
"Oh dear, I just hope my uncle doesn't get too upset. My cousin went too?"
Wen Xueyi nodded. "The two of them are companions, and we were also worried that something might happen over there, so we came straight here. Your uncle would come to find us after he finished his business. Who would have thought that we had just arrived and your child was born? Your maternal grandfather said that these three children are probably waiting for their great-grandfather."
Jiang Qiao smiled, pursing her lips, "That's true. Why did you have to give birth now of all times? Isn't that fate?"
Jiang Qiao asked them where they had been resting these past two days.
“We’re here. The old men have arranged for us to go to Master Hou’s courtyard. We’re just worried about troubling the children.”
“Grandma, if you don’t feel comfortable here, you can come to my new house. We haven’t lived in that house much since we got married, so it’s very nice and tidy.”
Wen Xueyi smiled and shook her head. "No need. I've already settled in the nunnery, let alone here. It's quite nice. I have everything I need, and it's very convenient."
Just then, Zhou Yaru and Wen Songtao came over. "Qiao'er, are you tired? Do you want to take a nap?"
Jiang Qiao smiled and shook her head, "Grandpa, please sit down first. I'm not tired. My uncle is back, and you're all alright. So, should I return your things to you?"
Wen Songtao smiled and shook his head. "You keep these for us first. Also, I need to prepare gifts for the three children. There are three boxes in there, you can choose whichever you like. These are my gifts for the three little ones. I can't be their great-grandfather for nothing, can I?"
Jiang Qiao smiled and glanced at the three children. "Then I'll thank you on behalf of the three siblings, your great-grandfather. The gift is a bit too expensive."
Wen Songtao smiled and waved his hand, "I'll give you more gifts when you're older. For now, it's not convenient to take them out. The timing isn't right, so you can keep them for now."
"Okay, if you're not afraid I'll embezzle it, then I'll continue."
Zhou Yaru smiled and said, "Your grandfather entrusted you with this, so he absolutely trusts you—"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Tou poked his head out from the doorway. "Sis, are you alright? Can I come in and see my little nephew?"
Jiang Qiao waved to her younger brother, and the little guy slipped in, leaning against Wen Songtao and peering at the three little ones lying on the big bed.
While watching, he commented, "My three nephews look like me. I'm a handsome uncle. When I take you out in the future, you'll know we're a family."
Wen Songtao and the others couldn't help but laugh. They never knew their grandson was so narcissistic.
"Sister, I prepared gifts for my nephew, but unfortunately, there were only two. I didn't even know I had a niece! What am I going to do? Will they be angry with me later?"
The little guy was a bit troubled. Wen Songtao smiled and patted his grandson's head. "It's okay, Grandpa will make up for the missing portion for you."
The little guy shook his head. "It's not suitable. I didn't prepare it. My niece will choose it. Sister, I'll make another one for my niece later. You can tell her not to be angry."
Jiang Qiao smiled and nodded, "I think it's a good idea. Then I'll thank you on behalf of your niece."
The little guy blushed a bit, but still pretended to be an adult and said, "You're welcome, as long as my nephews and nieces like it—"
Wen Songtao and the others couldn't help but laugh at Shitou's little expressions. Zhou Yaru simply snatched her grandson from her husband's arms and said, "Shitou, why don't you come with us to Grandma's house when Grandma goes back?"
The little guy shook his head, looking troubled. "No, Grandma, I have to go back and look after my dad. Otherwise, he's always so busy that he forgets to eat. My mom says, 'Food is the foundation of life. You'll get hungry if you don't eat.' Without good health, nothing else matters."
Wen Xueyi sighed, "I'm even a little envious of Wan'er. That girl is really good at having children and raising them too—"
Leaving Jiang Qiao aside, let's talk about Shi Tou. The couple only have this one child, and he's a late-in-life child. They don't see any spoiling in him; instead, he's very well-mannered, which shows that the couple has raised him well.
"Grandma, aren't you planning to stay with us a little longer?"
Wen Songtao shook his head. "We've seen everything we needed to see. Once your uncle and the others arrive, we'll head straight back. Your older brother's marriage is settled, so we can start preparing for the wedding."
Your older brother isn't young anymore, and your younger uncle has just started working. It's not good to waste time on him. And then there's Ziqing's marriage; we can't rely on anyone else, so we'll have to help look into it."
As they were talking, Wen Jingwan came over and called a few people out to eat, and also brought Jiang Qiao a bowl of food.
"Oh my god, I can't eat anymore, do you still want to eat? I'm not even hungry."
Zhou Yaru chimed in, "It's just soup and water, not much stuff. You need to nourish your body properly. Your Grandpa Qiao said this is to help you produce milk. You have to drink it even if you don't want to. We'll go out now, you should rest well."
Jiang Qiao had just finished eating when the three little ones started making a ruckus. Wen Jingwan helped out, as the children were not only hungry but also hungry. Watching the three children take turns eating until they were full, Wen Jingwan was a little worried. Three children are not so easy to take care of.
"Remember, don't sleep too soundly at night. Babies get hungry quickly. If they cry, it's either because they're hungry or they need to pee. You have to keep an eye on them. Be careful when you turn over so you don't roll over on them. They're so small, they won't make a sound. If it really comes down to it, we can move back to the countryside. Our kang (heated brick bed) is big enough for you to mess around with."
