Trying to scare people?
Xu Xinning doesn't think so. It's just that they are at home, in front of the people they trust most, letting down their guard and being themselves, getting along easily and comfortably.
Who wants to live a life where they have to be constantly on high alert and serious?
This is too tiring.
If there is a place where you can let down your guard in front of certain people, then he (or she) is happy.
The aunt had already gone home from get off work. Mu Jingheng sat next to Xu Xinning and served her food. Even without speaking, the magnetic field between them was comfortable, as if they were meant to be this harmonious.
Wu's second son's wife sat opposite them, resting her chin on her hand and smiling as she watched the two of them.
Who wouldn't envy this kind of relationship!
There seems to have been a time when a pair of affectionate eyes flashed through the mind of Wu's second daughter-in-law.
She lowered her eyelids.
She seemed to be born unworthy.
Xu Xinning suddenly sensed a change in the emotions of Wu's second daughter-in-law, and she subtly observed her out of the corner of her eye.
She noticed that the change in Wu's second daughter-in-law's emotions happened in an instant; by the time she paid attention, she had already returned to normal, as if the change had just been an illusion.
Xu Xinning smiled and looked at Wu's second daughter-in-law, asking, "How have you been feeling lately, Auntie?"
Wu's second son's wife sighed and said nonchalantly, "Anyway, it's an old problem. We've gotten used to it over the years."
Xu Xinning suddenly asked, "Auntie, is it because your health isn't good that you don't have children?"
The wife of the second son of the Wu family glanced at the second son of the Wu family, who was scratching his head and deep in thought, and said softly, "Perhaps we are not destined to be together?"
Mu Jingheng had heard about the reason for their marriage, but when Xu Xinning asked him about it, he just glanced at Wu's second daughter-in-law and didn't say anything.
Xu Xinning added, "Fate is hard to predict. It may come sooner or later. As long as you take good care of your health, the child will come naturally."
Xu Xinning carefully observed the face of Wu's second daughter-in-law. She did not seem to be destined to be widowed or childless. Logically speaking, she should have a good relationship with her children.
Wu's second son's wife waved her hand dismissively, saying, "I'm already quite old, so I don't care anymore. Besides, I still have Xiao Tao, don't I?"
Xiao Tao is the adopted son that Wu's second son's wife recognized. Xu Xinning doesn't know what his original surname was, but now his surname is Wu and his name is Wu Tao.
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Mu replied, "It's not too late for you to have a child now. Let the girl help you prepare, and maybe you'll get pregnant someday."
Everyone in the compound knew that the second son of the Wu family and his wife had a bad relationship.
Grandpa Mu hoped they would have a child, so that no matter how their relationship was, they would consider having a child and living a good life together.
Grandpa Wu is getting old and his health isn't good. Grandpa Mu is quite worried about Grandpa Wu's condition. If the two of them had a child, Grandpa Wu would feel relieved.
The second son of the Wu family chuckled and said, "Comrade Chief, do you think having a child is so easy? It's not like you can just put one in your belly like you're playing house. Besides, it's not that I look down on her, but even if she had a child, would she have the energy to raise it with her sickly body?"
The second son of the Wu family spoke with disdain and suspicion.
Firstly, he had no choice but to marry her in the first place, and secondly, he really couldn't talk to her.
Men will definitely have a rebellious mentality when they are forced to do things.
Grandpa Mu hit Wu's second son with a newspaper and said, "Why don't you ever change your habit of speaking without thinking?"
It's a good thing that Wu's second son isn't Old Master Mu's son, otherwise he would have beaten him to a pulp.
Wu's second son shielded his eyes with his arm and said with a grin, "Zhenting will soon have grandchildren. If I have a child now, how will I address him when he meets Zhenting's grandchildren? Old man, I can't afford to lose face like that."
Xu Xinning imagined the scene described by Wu's second son, and it seemed, it actually was quite funny.
My cousin Yang from my hometown is getting married, and Yang Chunqin called me early this morning.
Knowing that Yang Chunqin was going to call Xu Xinning, Xu Laosan and Mu Jingshu both clamored to talk to Xu Xinning.
Yang Chunqin couldn't refuse the two children, so she took them with her.
Xu Xinning hadn't seen Yang Chunqin and Xu Laosan for a long time, and hearing their voices now made her miss them quite a bit.
Yang Chunqin: "My dear girl! How are you feeling? It must be tiring carrying twins, right? Mom isn't here with you, so please don't push yourself too hard."
Xu Xinning's eyes immediately reddened. Parents always worry about their children when they are away from home.
Xu Xinning: "Mom, I'm fine! I can eat and sleep well, and the baby isn't making a fuss."
Yang Chunqin: "Are there many classes at school? Otherwise, let your in-laws talk to the school and say that we can quit our jobs and go back to school after the baby is born. If the school doesn't agree, we can quit our jobs and go back to Xujia Village. Mom will cook you something delicious."
In this day and age, it's not easy to find a job, let alone a university teacher. Yang Chunqin gave up her job for Xu Xinning's health. How could Xu Xinning not be moved?
Compared to work, Yang Chunqin hopes Xu Xinning will be healthy and happy.
Xu Xinning smiled: "Mom, don't worry, Mu Jingheng is with me every day! He won't let me be in any danger."
Her family was unaware that Xu Xinning was going to participate in a domestic and international medical exchange and that she had been attacked; otherwise, they would have all come to Kyoto.
Yang Chunqin sighed and said, "It's all my fault for not being able to leave. Otherwise, I would have gone to Kyoto to take care of you."
Xu Xinning: "Mom, you really don't need to worry, I'm fine! There's a housekeeper taking care of me, I don't have to do anything."
Yang Chunqin: "Auntie, you've really worked hard. By the way, Mom sent you some seafood. I heard that it's good for pregnant women to eat more seafood. Tell Mom what you want to eat, and Mom will make it and send it to you."
Xu Xinning: "Mom, the baby in my belly is so well-behaved, not picky at all. I eat everything now, and everything tastes delicious."
Yang Chunqin chuckled: "That's great! Your older cousin is getting married, and Mom knows you can't come back, so she's calling to let you know."
Xu Xinning: "When?"
Yang Chunqin: "The eighth day of next month."
Xu Xinning: "I understand. I'll send them their wedding gifts in the next couple of days."
Yang Chunqin: "You're pregnant and it's inconvenient for you, so don't worry about it. Mom will prepare it and send it over to you."
Xu Xinning: "Mom, no need, I'll have Mu Jingheng send it."
Yang Chunqin: "Okay, okay, as long as the thought is there, that's enough."
Seeing Yang Chunqin talking nonstop, Xu Laosan was so anxious he was jumping up and down. "Sister, sister, it's me, Laosan. Have you missed me? I miss you so much."
Yang Chunqin's ears were about to explode from Xu Laosan's voice, and she handed the microphone to Xu Laosan in annoyance.
Xu Laosan held onto the phone tightly, afraid that Mu Jingshu would snatch it from him.
