Niu Zaifang said with a cold face, not very happy, "Zhaoyue gave birth to twins for your family, so of course you can say whatever you want now. The children are born and they won't be put back in. If you didn't have a son, I would believe you if you came to me and said these things."
What are you doing?
Seeing that Niu Zaifang was taking it seriously, Lin Dajun immediately spoke up to defend Zhaoyue and Jingzhou, "Don't forget, if it weren't for Jingzhou, our whole family would still be in the countryside right now! And your two daughters, Zhaoyue has helped them a lot, what are you thinking about all day long?"
You're a woman too, and I haven't looked down on you for not having a son, yet you're looking down on yourself. Everyone has different thoughts, so why do you insist on imposing your own ideas on others?
After saying that, Lin Dajun waved to Jingzhou Zhaoyue and her husband, "You two go home first, don't pay any attention to her! I think she's not thinking straight right now, women go through this phase as they get older."
"Brother, stop talking." Lin Erwu couldn't speak ill of his sister-in-law, so he could only advise Lin Dajun to say less.
We're all family, there's no need to argue so heatedly.
"I'm going back to my room to sleep first." Lin Mingyue was the first to leave. She had been busy all day and was so tired that she could barely lift her arms. She really didn't have the energy to care about anything else.
"Dad, me too," Zhang Wenzhong said in a low voice from the side. Before he could finish speaking, Lin Dajun nodded and told him to go back to his room first. As if he had received a "get-out-of-jail-free card," he quickly went back to his room.
Niu Zaifang doesn't know what's wrong with her lately. She probably thinks about it during the day and dreams about it at night. All she can think about is "son" and "carrying on the family line".
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened them again, her eyes were filled with tears. "Zhaoyue, don't take it to heart. I didn't mean anything by it. I just think it's nice to have a son."
"Yes, I understand."
Lin Zhaoyue nodded slightly, pausing for a moment, "Auntie, this is a new society now. Men and women are equal. It's not that only sons can carry on the family line; daughters can too. Sister Shiyue is very capable. She will definitely have no problem taking over Uncle's business. Both children have already changed their surname to Lin. If you're still not at ease, we can sign a contract now. Uncle's business belongs to Uncle, and my father's business belongs to my father."
Even close brothers should keep clear accounts.
Hearing her say that, Niu Zaifang felt even more that she had been petty.
Having lived for decades, he's still not as sensible as the younger generation.
“No need. When your grandfather was alive, your father and I didn’t make such clear distinctions, and we don’t need to in the future either,” Lin Dajun said in a deep voice. “The business is just starting to pick up, and we’ll strive to make it bigger and stronger so that your grandfather can rest in peace.”
“Yes, there’s no need to be so clear-cut, Auntie understands.” Niu Zaifang shook her head, unwilling to ruin the harmony between them.
The unpleasantness quickly dissipated. In the car on her way home with Jiang Jingzhou, Lin Zhaoyue remembered what the man had said earlier, and the corners of her lips twitched involuntarily. "Why did you come to pick me up today?"
"No matter where you go in the future, I will pick you up if it gets too late."
Jiang Jingzhou only felt at ease when he picked her up from school or anywhere else.
"..." Lin Zhaoyue raised her hand and placed it on Jiang Jingzhou's hand, gripping it slightly. Thinking of her father's marriage, she joked, "From now on, shall we each do our own thing?"
"Huh?" Jiang Jingzhou clearly didn't understand what she meant and turned to look at her curiously.
"Your aunt married my dad, so she's basically my stepmother. How will you address her from now on?"
"Auntie." Jiang Jingzhou called her the same way he always had. He had heard about this "marriage" from his mother and never expected that the two of them would actually get together.
"I'm asking you, if I were to pass away before you, would you still look for someone else?" This was a question Lin Zhaoyue had wanted to ask for a long time.
Life is only a few decades long. If you watch your children grow up, start their own families, and have no one by your side, you will spend the rest of your life in memories. It's cruel.
She could understand if Jiang Jingzhou could find someone else.
"What about you? If I leave before you, will you look for someone else?"
Jiang Jingzhou didn't answer directly, but asked a question instead.
"Won't."
Lin Zhaoyue denied it without hesitation, "No one but you would treat me this well."
Jiang Jingzhou pursed his thin lips. "But I hope you can find someone else, so you won't be alone for the rest of your life."
At this point, she changed the subject, "I won't look for you anymore. I'll take your photo with me and we'll travel all over the world together."
"..." Lin Zhaoyue felt a sweet warmth in her heart, staring at Jiang Jingzhou without blinking, and said nothing.
They will all be fine, and they will definitely grow old together.
When they got home, both children were asleep. Lin Zhaoyue hadn't seen her daughter and son all day, and she didn't want to disturb their sleep.
After quickly tidying up, Lin Zhaoyue nestled in Jiang Jingzhou's arms, feeling unafraid even if the sky were to fall.
She touched Jiang Jingzhou's firm abs, but then felt it wasn't enough, and raised her hand with a subtle downward movement.
Before she could even touch him, her wrist was grabbed by the man, who said in a somewhat helpless tone from above, "Aren't you going to sleep?"
“I’m not going to sleep,” Lin Zhaoyue said, unusually “rebellious,” “I’m not sleepy yet.”
In fact, the implication of this sentence is to imply to Jiang Jingzhou that if he is not sleepy, he should do something else.
Jiang Jingzhou took a deep breath, inwardly cursing himself for his lack of patience, then grabbed Lin Zhaoyue's chin, lifted her up, and kissed her—
A simple kiss couldn't dispel the heat between them.
The atmosphere inside the room grew increasingly ambiguous.
Outside the door,
"..." Hua Xiuyun turned and went back into the house without saying a word.
"You're back so soon?" Jiang Guofu was surprised by her quick movements. But could she finish speaking in such a short time?
"We'll talk about it tomorrow," Hua Xiuyun replied vaguely.
It's definitely not a good time to talk business late at night; the young couple has their own things to do.
“It’s the same whether you say it now or tomorrow, so what’s there to be embarrassed about?” Jiang Guofu asked, puzzled.
Hua Xiuyun noticed that the older he got, the less sharp his mind became, and she became a little anxious. "I told you they were busy!"
"What's there to be busy with just getting back? How about I go?" Jiang Guofu didn't finish his sentence before realizing what he meant.
He chuckled awkwardly, "Okay, looks like Da Guai and Er Guai are going to have younger siblings!"
The young couple has a good relationship, and their parents-in-law are only happy about that.
Hua Xiuyun clicked her tongue. "Zhaoyue talked to me seriously. The two of them don't plan to have any more children. They won't have any younger brothers or sisters in the future."
"They're both so young, and you're helping to take care of the kids, why don't they have more children?" Jiang Guofu frowned, not quite understanding, and muttered under his breath.
Hua Xiuyun: "..." Sure enough, the two of them have nothing in common now.
Giving birth is never that easy.
Are you just going to abandon the child after it's born? Raising a child will require a lot of effort from now on.
Their family certainly has the ability to raise children; the key issue is how to raise them well.
