Sun could certainly tell that they had a good relationship, but no matter how good their relationship was, they could not have any more children.
This old mother was in a bad mood. With so few children, how desolate she would be in her old age!
She was heartbroken, but she couldn't tell her daughters-in-law that Lu Baichuan was impotent, otherwise her son would lose face.
It seems we should find an opportunity to ask the third son's wife to see if she can treat him, even a little bit of emergency treatment would be good!
Thinking this, she said, "You're right. Since it's between the two of them, let's not speculate too much. I'm tired too, I'm going back to catch up on some sleep."
He then got up and walked into his room, not giving anyone else a chance to speak.
The young wives looked at each other, stunned by Sun's huge transformation. Her ability to adjust herself was too strong!
"Will Mother be alright?"
Qin was still a little worried, and touched her belly as she spoke.
Lu Guilan waved her hand: "No, no! That's just how my mother is, she recovers very quickly!"
Madam Yu nodded and said, "I also think it should be fine. The restaurant opens tomorrow, and I need to prepare the ingredients today. I have to leave now. I'll pack up and go."
As she spoke, Madam Yu got up and walked into her room. Only then did everyone realize, "Oh right, the restaurant is opening tomorrow! How could we have forgotten all of that!"
"Oh dear, we have to go too! How could we forget something so important? I'll go pack my things too!"
Lu Guilan and Shen hurriedly packed their things. They had shares in the restaurant, though not many, but they still had a stake.
Besides, even if I didn't contribute a single penny, this is still a family business, and it's such a big event as the opening, so I definitely have to help!
Since Qin was pregnant and couldn't go, she said, "Then I'll go and call the men back so they can all come along. They'll be useful for moving tables and such!"
It's just looking after an ancestral hall; there's nothing much to do. I'd be idle at home anyway, so I might as well go to the restaurant and help out with some real work.
Everyone agreed and went about their own business.
When Lu Baichuan returned, his wife went to sleep, so he didn't disturb her. He took the children and the rest of the family to help out at the restaurant in the county town.
Qin was not going at first, but thinking that she had nothing to do at home, she went along anyway. Even just sitting upstairs and watching the excitement was better than staying cooped up at home.
So when He Jiuniang woke up in the middle of the day, there was no one in the house, not even the maids.
He Jiuniang yawned, but there was no one she could ask.
She thought she might as well go to the workshop to take a look. It had been a long time since she had been there, and she wanted to see what the situation was like now. But before she could even leave the house, she heard Sun's voice behind her: "Stop."
Startled, He Jiuniang clutched her chest and turned around. Sun Shi was standing at the door of her room, watching her.
"Oh my, Ms. Sun, that scared me to death! I thought no one was home!"
As He Jiuniang spoke, she walked towards Sun Shi. Just as she reached Sun Shi, Sun Shi pulled her into the house.
"What's wrong? Why are you being so secretive? Do you have something good to give me?"
He Jiuniang looked around furtively, her smile quite lewd.
"You wish!"
Sun slapped her and said sternly, "I'm asking you, is the third son impotent? Are you angry with him?"
"ha?"
He Jiuniang's eyes widened. Luckily, she hadn't drunk any water, or she would have spat it out long ago!
"What are you 'haha' about? Did he damage his health from being away for so many years that he'll never be able to have children? Even with your excellent medical skills, you can't cure him? Is there any way to save him?"
Sun looked anxious and asked several questions in a row, which made He Jiuniang very anxious.
They really are mother and son. Lu Baichuan had asked her the same question before, and she had just explained it to him once. Now she has to explain it to Madam Sun again?
"Ms. Sun, you're completely overthinking this. Your son is perfectly healthy, eats well, and can run and jump around. Don't worry!"
He Jiuniang patted her shoulder, and then realized why she had acted that way.
It must be because I asked her before, and she didn't say anything, so this old lady started imagining bad outcomes, which is why she's so worried.
"Are you really alright?"
"Of course!"
He Jiuniang raised her chin and said proactively, "I ignored him this morning because he kept bothering me last night, and I didn't sleep well! Honestly, I have to tell you about this, it's so embarrassing!"
She exaggeratedly covered her face, putting on an extremely shy expression, which left Mrs. Sun completely bewildered.
Ah, this...
Are there couples who quarrel because they are too capable?
Needless to say, even Old Master Sun blushed.
I worried for ages, but it turned out to be a huge misunderstanding.
So she slapped He Jiu Niang twice more: "You didn't sleep well, so why are you making a fuss? You made me worry for nothing! If that's the case, then why hasn't your belly shown any signs of pregnancy?"
Sun pointed to her belly with annoyance. This belly, which was supposed to carry a son, was now turning its back on her.
Since things have come to this point, He Jiuniang had nothing to hide and explained, "It's because I felt that Gou'er had no father to take care of him before, and it wasn't easy for him to have his father back. I wanted the father and son to develop a better relationship, so I don't plan to have any more children for the time being."
In other words, she could have gotten pregnant, but she avoided it.
Sun's doubts were finally dispelled, and she breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully it was just like that.
"That's good. The puppy didn't have a father around when he was young, so it's time to make up for it. But you can't delay this for too long. Take advantage of your youth now so your body can recover easily. You'll suffer when you're older. Sigh!"
Having been through it all, Mrs. Sun naturally didn't want her daughters-in-law to suffer the same pain she had. She continued, "Like your eldest sister-in-law, she saw that your second sister-in-law was pregnant and wanted to have another child, but she was also busy with her business and wanted to wait until the business was stable before making a decision. But by then she would be quite old. So I advised her that she should either have the child sooner or not have it at all. Three children in the family is not a small number."
“Mother is right. I’ll find a chance to talk to my sister-in-law about it. I know she still wants to have a boy, but Tingting and Shanshan are both very sweet. Sons and daughters are the same. There’s no need to worry too much.”
He Jiuniang nodded. She didn't think that Madam Yu favored boys over girls, but her desire to have another son was wrong.
After all, having another child doesn't guarantee it will be a boy, so would we have to have another one then?
Madam Sun said, "That's exactly what I mean. Boys and girls are the same. They are all children of the Lu family, and we love them all the same!"
He Jiuniang chuckled twice and asked, "Mother, where is everyone else in the family? Why are they all gone?"
"The restaurant is opening tomorrow, everyone's busy, even your dad's going to join the fun!"
Sun pouted. She had originally wanted to go, but she forced herself to take a nap.
