Jiang Qiao also wanted to go back, but wasn't she still waiting for someone?
"Mom, wait for my little uncle—"
Wen Jingwan shook her head. "Your father and the others have already discussed it. Your grandfather and the others will go back this afternoon to prepare. We'll set off tomorrow. As for your uncle, he knows the location. He'll contact them before he comes. Haozi is still working here."
Jiang Qiao was a little worried about the safety of Wen Zhongxuan and his son. Wen Jingwan sighed, "They should be fine, right? They're grown men, and they haven't broken the law. Who would dare to stop them from seeing their daughter?"
Jiang Qiao snorted, "Others might not dare, but it's hard to say about Wen Ziling. Has she lost her mind?"
To be honest, I don't even want to mention this person. Does anyone else need to explain the rights and wrongs? Use your brain and think for yourself. She has a biological father and a biological mother; she wasn't forced to choose. Just treat them fairly. What did my uncle do to her that she's so relentless towards her own father?
Wen Jingwan didn't want to comment on her niece. "Forget it, let's not talk about her anymore. She's not a child anymore, and she lacks even this basic judgment. She won't amount to much in the future. This isn't our concern. You just focus on getting better and taking care of the child, and I'll be grateful. Don't worry about anything else—"
It wasn't that Jiang Qiao was overthinking things. Just as the four of them fell asleep, Ning Hao returned with his men. Judging from the appearance of Ning Zhengtao and his wife, everyone in the family knew that they weren't happy and something must have happened.
Chu Lin came over and told everyone to go check on Jiang Qiao first. Her granddaughter-in-law was alright, and she needed to see her to feel at ease. Sure enough, when they went back to the room to eat with everyone, Ning Zhengtao had already explained the whole story to them without her having to say anything.
"What is that? Why is its face so big? It's only now that the Wang family's kids have remembered us?"
"I could understand why you didn't provide a house for your child's wedding before, but you didn't contribute a single penny, not even a scrap of cloth. What kind of family is that? Now you're bringing up the issue of retirement? Tsk tsk, only the Wang family would do such a thing. What a bunch of scoundrels, daring to cause trouble. I should slap them across the face."
Chu Lin sighed, "When I meet someone who is unreasonable, I have no reason to talk to them. Oops, it makes me so angry. What kind of in-laws did you think Irene was looking for at the beginning? Fortunately, Haozi and the others passed by, otherwise, we, the old couple, would probably have been beaten."
Qiao Jie shook his head. "Let the young couple make a fuss about this. We're all so old, let's not worry about it so much. If they're thoughtful, they'll know how to be grateful. But if they're foolish, you'll just end up with a lot of complaints."
Ning Zhengtao sighed, "That's right. Sigh, one generation can't interfere with the affairs of two generations. Old woman, let's live our lives peacefully from now on. If they want to, they can come and visit us. If they don't want to, we won't force them. As long as we are healthy, we can avoid causing trouble for the children."
Ning Hao handed the chopsticks to the old lady. "Grandma, don't think too much. You've done what you should do. Let them make a fuss over the rest. I don't think that young wife is a pushover either. You need someone like her to deal with the Wang family. Don't worry, your eldest grandson won't suffer. As for my aunt, tell her to let go of one person after the other, and to take good care of the younger ones."
Qiao Jie spoke up, "Let's all eat. It's such a joyous occasion that our Qiao'er has woken up. We'll celebrate properly later."
"Old Ning, we're planning to go back to our hometown. Would you and your wife like to come along?"
Ning Zhengtao shook his head. Chu Lin wanted to go, but her husband didn't want to, and she couldn't do anything about it. She couldn't just leave the old man at home, could she?
"It's alright, Haozi is still working in the city. If you need anything, you can talk to Haozi anytime. If you want to come over, you're welcome anytime. Come on, let's get started."
There were many people in the family. The elderly and men sat at one table, and the women sat at another. Since they were all family, there weren't many formalities. The elderly group was chatting and laughing, while Wen Jingwan and the others were discussing their plans for going back home.
"Auntie, you're always getting sore throats. Nothing is more important than eating. Eat more. Our cooking isn't as good as Qiao'er's, so it's only thanks to Uncle Liu's help that we can make it better."
Chu Lin said as she ate, "It tastes good. I've never cooked anything this delicious before."
Zhou Yaru said with a smile, "Haozi's grandma, I'm probably not even as good a cook as you. When it comes to cooking, I mostly just help with picking and washing vegetables. If you ask me, I'm the dumbest one in this family."
While helping the elderly woman pick up some food, Wen Jingwan asked, "Mom, have you figured it out this morning? The baby's been born, shouldn't we decide on a name by now?"
Speaking of this, Chu Lin also had a headache. "Don't even mention it. My husband has thought of several names, but when we compared them with Grandpa Qiao's, they didn't work. We should ask Grandpa Qiao and her grandfather to put in more effort. This isn't something you can just pick out casually. We should also ask Master Hou to take a look. It's a major event that will affect the child for a lifetime."
Zhou Yaru waved her hand and said, "I'm not involved in naming them. Let these old men figure it out themselves. You can see that Haozi isn't in a hurry. Anyway, we have experts in the family who can surely give my great-grandchildren good names."
Jiang Qiao was even less worried about this matter. With a master like Hou Diankui around, the name was truly not a problem.
Before Jiang Qiao could even wake up, the children started crying. Ning Hao, who was standing by, hurriedly and clumsily changed the children's diapers. This new father, although he was full of love and ready to dedicate himself to his children, unfortunately, he just couldn't get the hang of it. Just then, Wen Jingwan heard the noise and ran in to help.
Jiang Qiao opened her eyes and saw the somewhat disheveled state of her husband at home, and couldn't help but laugh.
“From now on, we two novices should learn properly. I have no experience in taking care of children. Mom, you have to teach us properly during this period.”
Wen Jingwan smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, Mom will definitely not hold anything back. Are you hungry?"
Jiang Qiao shook her head. "Mom, go make me a cup of milk powder."
After Wen Jingwan left, Jiang Qiao asked about the Wang family.
"Don't even mention it. When we arrived, the old folks were surrounded and being cursed at. If it weren't for their age, they probably would have been beaten up."
Aunt Jian is really amazing. I never knew she was so quick-witted, and she's not afraid to take action either—”
"They really made a move?"
Ning Hao sighed helplessly, "They wouldn't let it go and wanted to beat up my aunt. What could I do but fight back? Unfortunately, they were no match for me, and I was standing right there, so they didn't dare to do anything."
However, my aunt seems to be heartbroken—”
Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "It's much better to get hurt once than every day. Is it because your cousin hasn't made it big yet?"
