Qin Xiaoxiao was helped into the house by Old Mrs. Qin, and then she saw Old Mrs. Qin staring at her stomach without moving.
Qin Xiaoxiao laughed when she saw this, "Grandma, touch it, your great-granddaughter lives here!"
Grandma Qin first glanced at Su Lu, who was grinning foolishly, then glared at Qin Xiaoxiao, "Nonsense, he's clearly a great-grandson."
As soon as Grandma Qin finished speaking, Su Lu jumped up from his chair. "Grandma, how can it be a great-grandson? It's a great-granddaughter. Xiao Xiao is carrying a girl. Grandma, we can't favor boys over girls. Whether Xiao Xiao is carrying a boy or a girl, she'll be your beloved grandson."
After hearing Su Lu's words, Old Mrs. Qin finally felt relieved.
She was happy no matter what her eldest granddaughter was pregnant with, but she was afraid that Su Lu would not be happy. In the countryside, people value having a son to inherit the family business. If a son is not born, people will call the family line dead and they will never be able to hold their heads up high for the rest of their lives.
Seeing how much Su Lu valued his daughter and hoped that Xiao Xiao's baby would be a girl, Old Mrs. Qin was secretly happy, but she didn't show it on her face.
"Yes, they are all my dear grandsons! Little one, tell Grandma, what did the doctor say? How did you suddenly get pregnant?"
Qin Xiaoxiao repeated what the doctor had told her and Su Lu. Old Mrs. Qin was confused, but she understood the last sentence: there are all kinds of talented people in this world, and her granddaughter is one of them, who is easy to get pregnant.
This is also a skill, at least for now, in the countryside, having this skill is better than having any other skill.
Nowadays, people believe in having many children and many blessings. If you can get pregnant easily, you don't have to worry about the family line ending. If you have several children, you can rely on them for old age. If one doesn't work out, there are always others. If someone is unfilial, you won't give them any of your money. Let's see if they're scared.
Grandma Qin was so happy she could hardly speak, "If your father knew this in the afterlife, he would be able to see clearly now."
After saying that, Old Mrs. Qin looked at Su Lu with anticipation.
Su Lu said that Xiao Xiao and his child had an older son who would take the Qin family name. He just didn't know if his words still counted.
Su Lu understood immediately. Seeing the expectant look in Grandma Qin's eyes, Su Lu stood up and loudly promised, "Grandma, from now on, my little child and I will both have the surname Qin, not Su."
Before yesterday, he might have wanted a child with the surname Su. Now, haha, why would he want a child with the surname Su? Why get involved with that family? It's not a peaceful life, he's too fragile to withstand their torment, and he doesn't have the fortune to enjoy the Su family's blessings.
Grandma Qin stared at Su Lu in shock. After a long while, seeing that Su Lu seemed to be serious, she frowned. "This won't do. The Su family won't..."
Su Lu waved his hand, "Grandma, you don't need to say anything. The Su family has no right to interfere in this matter. I will decide what surname the child will have in the future."
Grandma Qin wasn't that ambitious; she only needed one son to carry on the family line. She never imagined that even a child born to her youngest child could bear the surname Qin.
"You should talk to the Su family about it; your parents probably won't agree."
Su Lu sneered, "Grandma, you don't know. If it were yesterday, I would have thought it would be fine to have a son with the surname Qin. But now, let's keep them both with the surname Qin."
Grandma Qin and Sun Zhirou exchanged a glance, then looked at Su Lu with a puzzled expression. "What happened yesterday? Tell Grandma?"
Su Lu didn't hide anything and recounted what happened at the Su family's house yesterday.
After hearing this, Old Mrs. Qin and Sun Zhirou gritted their teeth in anger, their fists hardening.
"The Su family is going too far."
"What are they trying to do? The child was bullied, and they just walked away without saying a word? Not only did they not stand up for the child, but they didn't even offer a word of comfort?"
No wonder Su Lu wanted all his children to have the surname Qin; he must be heartbroken!
"Son, we'll listen to you. Our surname is Qin. If your family comes looking for an explanation, tell them to come to me."
Grandma Qin took full responsibility, determined not to make things difficult for Su Lu.
Su Lu smiled.
This is what family is all about—they're devoted to you, selfless, and only care about your well-being.
The group stopped mentioning the Su family and, amidst their laughter and conversation, Old Mrs. Qin and Sun Zhirou went over the precautions for pregnancy again, which were almost identical to what the old doctor had said.
Su Lu carefully wrote it down again, compared it with what the old doctor had given him, added two more entries, and then carefully folded the paper and put it into his shirt pocket.
At noon, the Qin family returned. Upon hearing that Qin Xiaoxiao was pregnant, everyone was overjoyed and surrounded her as if she were a rare treasure. Su Yun, in particular, wished he could hug and kiss Qin Xiaoxiao.
"Quickly pass on some of your good fortune to me, so I can get pregnant soon too."
As soon as Su Yun finished speaking, Ma Dahua quickly expressed her opinion, "We can't rush this. What's the rush? You're still young. You can play for another two years. Once you have children, it will be difficult to go anywhere. With a family to support, where can you go? You can't even leave the county town."
Qin Feng nodded, "Your mother is right. You're still young, what's the rush? We're not in a hurry, we'll take it slow, having children in a couple of years is the same."
Let our little one set an example first, see how she raises children. If she raises them well, we'll learn from her; if not, we'll find another one.
Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but roll her eyes after hearing this. "So, you're using me as an experiment, sir!"
Qin Feng shook his head with a smile, "I didn't say that, you said it yourself."
Su Yun felt a sense of loss because Qin Xiaoxiao was pregnant while she wasn't pregnant yet. She was afraid that the Qin family would be angry and look down on her because of it. But she never expected that her parents-in-law would be so understanding. Not only did they ask her to postpone having children, but they also asked her sister-in-law to have a child and raise it for them to see, using the child as an experiment.
Su Yun suddenly laughed.
She's incredibly lucky to have married into such a sensible family as the Qin family. She'll be living a life of luxury from now on!
"Father, Mother, I understand, thank you."
Su Yun sincerely thanked the Qin family for understanding her, especially her mother-in-law Ma Dahua. It was only because of her that she would have turned against them long ago; anyone else would have done so.
Everyone says that it's difficult for mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law to get along, but she never felt that way. She felt more comfortable with Ma Dahua than with her own mother, and Ma Dahua treated her better than her own mother.
Ma Dahua waved her hand, "No need to thank me, it's just my own parents saying thank you all the time, isn't that too formal!"
Su Yun smiled, "Yes, you're welcome. I'll take good care of my parents from now on."
Ma Dahua and Qin Feng didn't take it seriously, and while chatting and laughing, they turned their attention back to Qin Xiaoxiao.
As for the Su family, well, let's just leave them be. We'll keep our distance from them in the future, as long as they don't cause trouble for Su Lu and Xiao Xiao.
After all, they've been friends for years and will be working together in the future, so it's best not to fall out. Just ignore them.
Qin Feng understood the situation and looked at Qin Xiaoxiao with a smile.
"If you're pregnant, don't go to work. Stay home and rest. Su Lu earns a lot, so he won't miss your work points."
Qin Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded, "Yes, I also want to rest at home and try to have a natural birth."
Qin Feng nodded, then suddenly remembered someone else.
