What was once a source of joy is now a source of intense loathing, and even the grandson, whom I had been enjoying so much just moments before, now seems somewhat unpleasant to look at.
Another issue is the impact of her son's words. She knows she only gave birth to him, but that doesn't give him the right to use it as an excuse to attack his mother.
Yong Xingchen didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said. He was just stating the facts, but most people were unwilling to believe the facts, which felt like self-deception.
"You unfilial son, how dare you speak to your mother like that? Do you even respect me as your father?"
One can only say that one should cherish one's own wife. When the Marquis, as a father, heard his son talking about his wife, he immediately became unhappy.
He was so angry he was jumping up and down. He felt that he had taken care of his wife for decades, but now that he was old, he still had to put up with his son and daughter-in-law's temper. It was really too frustrating.
“Father, of course I see you as my father and mother. I’m just telling the truth. Our family has always been a single-lineage family. Now that we have a grandson, how can you force Baozhu to have more? Isn’t it better for the five of us to live a good life together? Do we have to fight like fighting cocks all the time?”
Did your grandparents also force you to endure the same hardships? So you want my daughter-in-law to suffer the same pain you did? Please, please don't let that happen.
Yong Xingchen knew that his father and mother were in very good health, so he didn't need to worry that his words would upset them.
Moreover, he felt that if he didn't resolve the matter now, it would cause trouble for his wife in the future. Just in case, he decided to settle things with them this time.
Yong Xingchen's words left his father speechless. His parents hadn't urged their daughter-in-law to have a second child before, since they all knew that only one son could carry on the family line. So after Xingchen was born, they stopped pressuring them.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that his wife was indeed in the wrong, and he felt a little unsure of himself when he tried to refute his son.
Mother Yong was speechless after hearing her son's words, and the entire living room fell silent.
After a long silence, Mother Yong said, "Don't worry, I won't interfere with you anymore. Whatever happens to you is your own business. If there's nothing else, then tell your woman not to come here to pay her respects anymore. I don't want to see her again."
Although it was his own problem, he had absolutely no liking for the woman who instigated his son and encouraged him to confront him.
The little bit of goodwill she had for having a grandson was ruined.
"Mother, please don't say that. It's only right that Baozhu comes to pay her respects. As long as you don't pressure her to have children in the future, that's fine. I think our family of five will definitely live a very happy life in the future."
Yong Xingchen also had to consider Baozhu's reputation. If she really didn't have to pay her respects to her mother-in-law, one could imagine how bad her reputation would be once word got out.
So he directly refused, saying that he couldn't refuse without paying his respects, but when he did, he couldn't say anything that would make fun of his wife.
Yong Xingchen exemplified what it means to be a truly filial son, the kind of filial son who is so devoted that he dies of filial piety.
"You brat, get out of here! Are you trying to drive your mother and me crazy? You good-for-nothing, you've been manipulated by a woman. Get out of here, I don't want to see you."
Seeing that his father was angry, Yong Xingchen finally shut up, silently thinking to himself, "Aren't you being manipulated by your mother? What right do you have to talk about me? We're all the same."
"In that case, I will not disturb Father and Mother any longer. Xingchen takes his leave."
After leaving his parents' courtyard, Yong Xingchen went straight to Baozhu's place. He had taken care of things and wanted to get a reward from her to make his efforts worthwhile.
After all, he had targeted his parents for her sake, which was considered extremely unfilial.
At this moment, Yong Xingchen looked nothing like the young master Tang Baozhu had just met, perhaps because he had simply let loose in front of his familiar lover.
After returning to the main room, seeing Baozhu fiddling with the abacus beads, he picked him up and carried him into the bedroom.
He threw her onto the bed in one go and pounced on her.
This startled Tang Baozhu. She was still calculating the accounts when he suddenly picked her up and threw her onto the bed, leaving her dizzy and disoriented.
Seeing his agitated actions, she quickly put her hand on his chest and said, "You can't be silly. It's still broad daylight. If word gets out, I'll be too ashamed to face anyone. You just went to see Father and Mother, and if this kind of thing comes out after you come back, Father and Mother will look down on me even more."
Yong Xingchen was initially very excited, but Baozhu's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over him, instantly calming him down.
He quickly stopped what he was doing and hugged Baozhu tightly. "It's my fault for being too excited. I didn't even notice the time. Did I scare you? It's my fault."
"I'm fine, but what happened that made you so agitated?"
I was really curious about what had happened that had driven him to such a reckless state.
Yong Xingchen kept rubbing his thumb and forefinger together, a sign of his nervousness. "It's nothing, it's just that Mother said she won't urge you anymore. She told you not to go and pay your respects to her unless necessary, but I refused. You still have to go to pay your respects, so as not to damage your reputation if word gets out."
Tang Baozhu suddenly felt that Yong Xingchen was much more useful than Lin Shengtian from the previous world. Both of them were facing the issue of urging someone to have a baby, and their methods of dealing with it were similar, only one was effective and the other was ineffective.
However, Lin Shengtian is quite good. Apart from not being able to control his mother, he is really good to me.
"Thank you, sir. Don't worry, I will definitely pay my respects to my mother properly. I am very filial to my mother, as long as she doesn't urge me to have children."
Tang Baozhu thought Yong Xingchen was really amazing; he managed to win over her mother in no time. He was truly impressive.
I was planning to reward him properly tonight, but I don't have time to do so now. I'm going to settle his accounts properly, and I feel like I'll make tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands more in banknotes this month.
She loved the feeling of money coming in, and no one could stop her from counting it.
"As long as you're happy, that's all that matters. If there's anything you want in the future, just tell me, and I'll buy it for you when I leave this job."
Hearing Baozhu's praise, Yong Xingchen was especially happy. It gave him a sense of accomplishment, and he felt that it was only right to treat his wife well.
