Looking at the two of them, Yun Duoduo said directly, "Let's be honest. As long as you two are truly determined to be together, things can always be resolved."
Yun Duoduo felt that Wu Chunlan wasn't actually that difficult to talk to, especially after what happened with Yan Junting, Wu Chunlan had clearly become much more open-minded.
Speaking of Wu Chunlan, Yun Duoduo advised Yan Qiuting and the other person, "But the first thing you need to do is be honest with your mother and get past her first."
"Confess what?" Just then, Wu Chunlan came over. She wasn't busy at her shop in the morning, so she would come over to check on the children for a while, or take the eldest to the general store to play.
She heard Yun Duoduo's words from the doorway, and as soon as she came in, she frowned and looked at Yan Qiuting, "Second brother, have you done something wrong again?"
Since they'd already run into each other, Yan Qiuting felt there was no need to hide it anymore; Wu Chunlan would find out sooner or later anyway.
After glancing at Wu Chunlan, he mustered his courage and said, "Mother, Xiaoqin and I are together, and I plan to marry her."
"Really?" Strangely, Wu Chunlan's reaction was calm, as if she had been prepared for this.
However, Yan Qiuting was too nervous to notice Wu Chunlan.
He nodded nervously, "Yes, I, we..."
Yan Qiuting looked at Wu Chunlan and didn't dare to continue speaking. He was afraid that Wu Chunlan would get angry and hit him.
Although Yan Qiuting is not young anymore, Wu Chunlan still insists on taking action as she always has; they're used to it.
Wu Chunlan didn't say much, but frowned slightly and asked Yan Qiuting, "Do you know what Xiaoqin's family situation is? Are you still willing to be with her?"
Yan Qiuting nodded without any hesitation, "I'm willing. If I can't marry her, I'll stay single for the rest of my life."
When Yan Qiuting said this, his tone was quite firm, and it was clear that he genuinely liked Yun Xiaoqin.
After hearing this, Wu Chunlan remained silent and did not speak. She picked up Yun Duoduo's eldest child and carried him around the yard.
After a moment, she turned around, as if she had come to a realization, and shook her head, saying, "Fine, since you've said so, how can I object? You two discuss it and see what to do about the marriage. The sooner the better, otherwise it will be even more troublesome when she's already heavily pregnant."
“Mother, you…” Wu Chunlan’s reaction surprised Yan Qiuting.
Yun Duoduo, however, accurately grasped the meaning behind Wu Chunlan's last sentence.
Does she mean: Yun Xiaoqin is pregnant?
At the same time, Yan Qiuting also realized what was going on, "What do you mean, 'big belly'..."
Before Wu Chunlan could answer, Yun Xiaoqin's voice came from the doorway.
"Duoduo, Qiuting." Just then, Yun Xiaoqin walked in from outside.
As Yun Xiaoqin walked in, she kept giving Yan Qiuting and Yun Duoduo meaningful glances.
Neither Yun Duoduo nor Yan Qiuting understood the exchange of glances, so they remained silent.
But looking at Yun Xiaoqin, Yun Duoduo nodded slightly. Yun Xiaoqin was indeed much more pleasing to the eye now compared to when she was in the countryside.
Back in the countryside, even though she had no money, Yun Xiaoqin would dress herself up in fancy clothes every day, but the makeup and clothes she wore were all cheap and really ugly.
But now that she has plenty of money, she has become much more down-to-earth. Occasionally, she will put on light makeup or simply wear clean clothes, keeping herself neat and tidy. She looks clean and refreshing.
Of course, more importantly, she earned money, gained confidence in her life, and had a better mindset. She lost her former sharp tongue and her eyes and brows looked much gentler.
That's just how people are; most people who are sharp-tongued and mean-spirited are so because they live too repressed lives.
At this moment, Wu Chunlan turned around with the child in her arms, looked at Yun Xiaoqin, and said to Yan Qiuting, "Perfect timing, Xiaoqin is here. You two can discuss how to handle this marriage."
After saying that, she looked at Yun Xiaoqin and said, "Xiaoqin, as for your family, we will follow the highest custom in the village for the bride price, which is four hundred yuan. We will also provide the three turns and one ring, and there is no need for a return gift. Ask your family if they agree."
Yun Xiaoqin knew, of course, that the bride price was already very generous; she hadn't originally planned to give her family so much money.
It's not that she's unfilial; she's just thinking that she can't give it all at once.
Give a smaller dowry, and then give her parents a small living allowance each month.
Because it's just her and her older brother in her family, and her brother is a good-for-nothing who doesn't take any money from the family, and her parents aren't very hardworking either, she will most likely have to support her parents in their old age.
So when she heard Wu Chunlan say that, she didn't agree. She waved her hand and said, "Aunt Chunlan, don't worry about this. I'll talk to my family. They'll have to agree, whether they like it or not, otherwise I..."
Yun Xiaoqin didn't finish her sentence, but she told everyone with certainty, "Anyway, I'm sure they'll agree to this marriage."
Since Yun Xiaoqin had said so, Wu Chunlan was satisfied.
She nodded and said to Yun Duoduo, "Okay, Duoduo, you can help them with their suggestions too. I'll take the child to my place to play for a while."
Yun Duoduo nodded and handed over some formula and diapers.
Although Yun Duoduo has a good amount of breast milk, it's not enough for the three children, so they all drink a combination of breast milk and formula, which they both accept.
After Wu Chunlan left, Yan Qiuting pulled Yun Xiaoqin aside and asked in a low voice, "Did you tell my mother about us?"
“Yes, I ran into your mother at the factory after get off work yesterday…” Yun Xiaoqin smiled and nodded at Yan Qiuting. It turned out that Wu Chunlan already knew about it yesterday, and that she didn’t react much today.
However, this was a good thing. Yan Qiuting instantly felt relieved, as this major hurdle had been overcome.
Song Qinglian and Yun Duoduo exchanged a glance. Song Qinglian muttered in surprise, "That's strange. Why is your mother so easy to talk to? She's clearly..."
Before Song Qinglian could finish speaking, Yun Xiaoqin looked at everyone, suddenly smiled mysteriously, pointed to her stomach, and said, "I told her I'm pregnant..."
Yun Duoduo and the others were all petrified; this was too fast!
The most surprised person was Yan Qiuting. He looked at Yun Xiaoqin's belly and stammered, "You... Yun Xiaoqin, whose child is it? You..."
Although Yan Qiuting and Yun Xiaoqin are dating, they are very proper and it is impossible for them to have children.
Seeing his expression, Yun Xiaoqin was speechless. She glared at him and said, "Are you stupid? If I didn't say that, would your mother have agreed to our marriage so readily?"
The mystery was solved, and even the clouds were speechless.
Only Yun Xiaoqin would do something like this.
"You lied to my mother? You..." Yan Qiuting finally realized what was going on and gasped. How could he say such a thing? Where was he going to get a child for his mother in ten months?
