Ke Meiyu was taken aback, the vivid image flashing through her mind, and she couldn't help but chuckle.
The female protagonist in the book fights against all sorts of awful people, but these awful people are all from her own family and her husband's family. When she arrives in Kyoto, she also has a few eccentric neighbors, but most of them rely on the jobs provided by the neighbors, so they get along quite well.
The article also mentions that not long after the female protagonist came to Beijing with the male protagonist, her parents came to help with the business and take care of the children.
"Oh," Ke Meiyu whispered to the old lady, "Grandma, is Ke Enshu pregnant?"
In May, the weather is warm, and the midday sun has a scorching power. On the street, fashionable young girls are already wearing skirts, showing off their beautiful and graceful calves.
As people wear less clothing, their body shape gradually becomes more apparent.
The old lady was taken aback, then looked at Ke Meiyu, "I don't care whether other people are pregnant or not, but Bao'er, when are you and your grandson-in-law going to have a child? You used to say you didn't have time when you were in school, but now that you're a graduate student, it's like you don't have classes. Are you going to have a child before you officially start working?"
"Your grandfather and I are in very good health. Taking care of five, six, seven or eight children for you is no problem."
Ke Meiyu was eating an apple when she heard this and almost choked. She coughed a few times and said, "Grandma, why are you bringing this up?" Five, six, seven, or eight children? Does she think I'm a pig?
The old lady patted her back lightly and said irritably, "Your sister-in-law is pregnant with her second child, what do you think?"
"Your grandson-in-law has no one to rely on. If you had a mother-in-law, you'd see her making soup and urging you to have a baby every day. Your grandson-in-law is a good person, but you can't be allowed to bully him like this, can you?"
Ke Meiyu blinked and gave a dry laugh: "Let nature take its course..."
"Let nature take its course?" The old lady's voice rose slightly. "How many years have you been letting nature take its course? I don't urge you because I'm afraid it will put pressure on you. Getting pregnant depends on fate, but you can't be too passive about it."
"If you two have trouble conceiving before the New Year, you can secretly try some treatments."
"Grandma, what are you saying?" Ke Meiyu was speechless. Why is she saying something so outrageous?
"Anyway, I don't care. I'm eager to see my great-grandchildren," the old lady hummed somewhat irresponsibly. "Let me tell you, a family is incomplete without children. You two should hurry up and have one while you're still young. It'll be easier to give birth and get back in shape."
"Let's see if you're still so carefree once you start working!"
Ke Meiyu could only nod in agreement, but thinking about it, seven or eight years had already passed, and as the capital of Xia Hua, the family planning policy was beginning to emerge.
Having children should indeed be on the agenda, but she was a little hesitant.
Most of the people around me are mothers or grandmothers, and each of them has more than one child. Occasionally, I overhear them chatting. They say childbirth is incredibly easy; some give birth on the street before they even get home. One woman was using the toilet when her baby almost fell into the latrine. Another woman sneezed and her baby popped out...
However, she had also heard many stories of difficult childbirth, and some pregnant women even gave birth for three days and three nights.
Even at the dinner table, Ke Meiyu was thinking about this matter.
Seeing that she was absent-minded, Ying Yan glanced at her dozens of times during the meal and kept putting food on her plate.
She would put almost anything he picked up into her mouth, even a piece of old ginger, without any hesitation.
Ying Yan couldn't bear to hurt his wife, so he quickly stopped her, and then he started eating the chopsticks...
He finally managed to get her back to the room. He missed his wife terribly after not seeing her for a day, so he hugged her and kissed her before discussing the issues.
He had just moved closer when his wife hurriedly pushed him away, saying, "No, no!"
Ying Yan helplessly pulled her back and sighed, "What happened to you today? You were so distracted all night and wouldn't let me touch you?"
Ke Meiyu pouted and snuggled into his arms again, "I'm afraid of childbirth, it hurts too much!"
Although she was a poor student, she hadn't forgotten something she'd read somewhere when she was young: if pain were graded, there would be thirteen levels. A mosquito bite would be level one, while childbirth would be level thirteen!
Ying Yan was stunned for a moment, then looked down at her flat stomach, his face blank with unprecedented shock. "You, you're pregnant with my child?"
Ke Meiyu shook her head: "No, my grandma is urging me to have a baby. I..."
Before she could finish speaking, Ying Yan immediately said, "We're not in a rush. You're only twenty-two. You can have a child whenever you want. If you're afraid of the pain, we don't have to have one. If you like children, you can go to an orphanage and adopt one. I'll support you!"
In short, do whatever makes your wife happy.
Ke Meiyu felt a little guilty after hearing this; in reality, she was just a tiny bit afraid of pain. Most women still hope to have a child of their own bloodline; it's a maternal instinct hidden deep in their bones.
Moreover, she loves the man who cherishes her deeply and wants several children with him.
"Ying Yan," she looked up, chuckled, and wrapped her arms around his neck, tilting her head to ask, "How many children do you like? Boys and girls?"
"I love any child you give birth to," Ying Yan said with a smile, kissing her forehead. He felt so much love for her that he wished he could be with her every single day.
Even a simple hug or a light, fleeting kiss can relax him completely and fill him with happiness.
"You're in charge in our family!"
Ke Meiyu blinked. "You've given me too much power, it makes me feel like I don't have a sense of accomplishment."
Ying Yan was also afraid that she would think he wasn't taking it seriously, so he said solemnly with a serious face, "You want to hear the truth?"
Ke Meiyu nodded. "Of course, every child should be expected to come into this world."
Ying Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, I don't really like children. You already give me very little time, and if a brat comes along and takes up even more of my energy, who will even notice me?"
