Xu Xiangru wanted to compete with Chu Yuefang, but unfortunately she couldn't win no matter how hard she tried, and she ended up feeling upset for nothing.
However, Xu Xiangru became even more irritated now because Old Lady Ling was there, so she couldn't help but urge Su Baoshan to call Old Lady Su back.
Su Baoshan can do other things, but he is not very good at washing clothes. The cotton-padded jacket does not need to be washed frequently, but the cotton-padded clothes inside cannot be washed frequently. Old Mrs. Su is not at home now, so Xu Xiangru has to wash the clothes.
Even if you boil a pot of water in the middle of winter, you may still encounter cold water at other times. After just a few days, Xu Xiangru felt that her hands were about to get frostbite, and her back and waist were sore.
She and Su Baoshan always had to do the work and take care of the children at the same time, and they really felt too busy to handle it.
Even if Old Lady Su didn't like her, Xu Xiangru wanted Su Baoshan to ask his mother to come home.
Besides, Xu Xiangru had always thought that the old lady would not be away for so long and not come back. Who knew that it was just a few steps away, but the old lady would really not ask about their family after she went to Su Baopeng's house.
It had only been a few days, but Xu Xiangru felt like she couldn't bear it anymore.
Xu Xiangru held her breath and told Su Baoshan to go to his elder brother's place and invite Old Lady Su back.
Su Baoshan hesitated and said, "Wife, but Mom may not be willing to come back..."
Before Su Baoshan could finish his words, he saw Xu Xiangru's eyes turned red and tears streamed down her face. She had a bitter face and looked pitiful.
"Hey, wife, you, don't be like this..."
Su Baoshan was suddenly in a panic. He put the little girl on the bed first and then hugged his wife to comfort her.
"Are you going or not?" Xu Xiangru asked with a sob.
"...Go, I'm going!"
Su Baoshan really had no ability to resist his daughter-in-law.
When he met her that year, he knew that his life was doomed and he had to listen to her in everything.
It's destined, there's nothing we can do about it.
Su Baoshan gritted his teeth and agreed to Xu Xiangru's request, and left the house under Xu Xiangru's gaze.
But when he came out of the house, Su Baoshan didn't know what to do.
He had just been to his eldest brother's house two days ago, and he also mentioned asking his mother to come back, but his mother didn't want to.
Even if he tried to persuade her now, there would probably be nothing he could do.
For a moment, Su Baoshan could only sit at the door, smoking a cigarette and sighing.
It just so happened that Ling Hancheng had just returned from Chu Yuefang's parents' home. Seeing Su Baoshan coming over, he said, "Why are you smoking alone here? Is everything alright at home?"
Seeing Ling Hancheng, Su Baoshan couldn't help but envy the Ling family. He sighed, "Alas... How could it be okay..."
Ling Hancheng also felt that something was wrong, so he sat next to Su Baoshan and listened to him.
Only then did I understand why Ling Hancheng was worried.
Ling Hancheng smiled and said, "So that's what it's about. It's not a big deal."
"How can this not be a big deal? Now my mother refuses to come back, Xiangru is at home... Oh, I really can't do anything now. I might as well bang my head against the wall..."
Su Baoshan scratched his head, looking annoyed.
He really didn't know what to do now. It was useless to go to his mother. If he went home, he would have to face his wife's tears again.
I really want to die.
Ling Hancheng couldn't help but feel helpless: "Look at you, what's the point of banging your head against the wall? Are you going to commit suicide just for this?"
"You don't know..."
Su Baoshan sighed and shook his head, looking extremely depressed.
Ling Hancheng thought for a moment and said, "Isn't it all about wanting your aunt to come back? I can think of a way for you."
Su Baoshan shook his head: "What can you do? My mother wants to see her grandson at my eldest brother's place, but I can't give her one now..."
Old Mrs. Su went there purely for her grandson, but Su Baoshan couldn't turn their daughter into a son now, and he didn't have the ability to do so.
Ling Hancheng said, "You're stupid. Just tell your mother that you and your wife are planning to have another child. If she doesn't come over to help you take care of your daughter, then you two won't be able to have more children. That way, she'll be tempted, right?"
Ling Hancheng was also very clear about the Su family's affairs. After all, the two families were so close that he could clearly see how many dates were on the tree.
"But, I won't hide it from you... When Xiangru gave birth to Xiuxiu, the doctor said her health wasn't very good, so it might be difficult for her to have another child..."
In fact, Su Baoshan didn't dare to explain this clearly to Old Lady Su. He just said that Xu Xiangru should rest for two more years before having the next child. In fact, Xu Xiangru's health was not very good.
If his mother knew about this, she would probably be furious, so he kept it a secret.
Ling Hancheng really didn't know that such a thing existed.
If this is true, then if Old Mrs. Su knew, she would probably be furious.
The Su family has never been prosperous. Su Baoshan's father has no uncles or brothers. Old Mrs. Su finally gave birth to two sons, but the family's prosperity died down in her later years.
Su Baoshan's eldest brother has only one son, and he only had a daughter after being married for many years.
No wonder Mrs. Su was anxious.
If this situation were really known...it's hard to say what would happen to the Su family.
Ling Hancheng said, "I think you should keep this a secret for now, and tell us when you can no longer hide it."
Su Baoshan nodded dejectedly.
He must keep this a secret, no matter how long he can.
But we have to find a way to overcome this difficulty.
"Why don't you just use this excuse first and wait until this year is over before thinking about anything else? After all, even if you get pregnant, it's going to take a day or two, and your aunt won't know right away."
Although it is not good to hide this from the elders, Ling Hancheng believes that if he doesn't do this, Su Baoshan's family will probably have a bad New Year.
Let’s get through the New Year first and then think about other things.
Su Baoshan gritted his teeth and nodded: "There is no other way now, this is the only way..."
He could only gloss over it for now and talk about other things later, otherwise he would be in a dilemma.
"Also, when you talk to your aunt, act a little aggrieved and sad. That way, she'll be more likely to soften her heart."
Ling Hancheng could only give Su Baoshan some advice, but he still had to decide what to do with their family affairs.
Every family has its own problems, and there are many things that outsiders cannot interfere with.
After saying this, Ling Hancheng returned home.
Su Baoshan looked at Ling Hancheng's back with envy before turning around and going to his elder brother.
I hope his mother believes him...
