"Dr. Li, happy marriage."
As Li Aiqin passed by the nurses' station, the head nurse stopped her and said a bunch of free blessings to her.
Her face froze instantly. She knew better than anyone how sincere the head nurse's words were.
However, she dared not show her dissatisfaction, since the other person was a relative.
Forcing a smile, she said, "Thank you, Sister Jing."
"I have to see patients later, so I'll head back to my office now."
"You're busy." As soon as the person left, the head nurse scoffed, "What's so great about that? So what if she married someone who works?"
Back in her office, Li Aiqin stood by the door, her expression dejected.
Her marriage was anything but happy. She only realized how stingy the Xu family was after she married into the family. They said the money saved from the banquet was for her and Xu Haifeng, but she hasn't seen a single penny of it to this day.
Xu Haifeng is a mama's boy; he listens to his mother in everything, so she can't even touch his salary.
There's also a troublesome older sister-in-law who, even after getting married, still frequently comes to our house to beg for money.
She now regrets marrying Xu Haifeng, but there's no going back.
"Haifeng, your wife doesn't do any housework after she married into the family. She's so lazy. You should say a few words to her later."
Before Li Aiqin even entered the house, she heard Zhan Tianjiao's loud voice.
But the man kept saying, "Yes, yes, yes."
He closed his eyes briefly to conceal his emotions, then immediately pushed open the door and entered the bedroom on the right with a cold expression.
The Xu family was stunned, but Zhan Tianjiao was the first to react, angrily scolding, "Haifeng, look at this! This is the good wife you married? She has no manners at all!"
Xu Haitao chimed in, "Yes, second brother, we can't let women ride roughshod over us."
Xu Haifeng quickly comforted his mother, "Mom, don't be angry, I'll go talk to her right away."
Upon entering the bedroom, he saw Li Aiqin asleep fully clothed. He went straight to the bedside and said, "Go out and apologize to Mom."
Li Aiqin immediately threw off the covers and sat up straight.
"Xu Haifeng, am I your wife, or is your mother your wife?"
Xu Haifeng didn't react for a moment, "What do you mean?"
Li Aiqin sneered, "I'm telling you, if you're a mama's boy, you shouldn't be married."
"you……"
"What, are you going to hit me? Go ahead and hit me."
She was going all out.
Xu Haifeng's hand froze in mid-air. "Now that you're married into the family, you can't keep having a grudge against us forever."
"Fine, unless you defend me in front of your mother and put me at the center of everything, don't even think about touching me tonight."
While the man still finds her attractive, she must change his "mama's boy" personality.
Zhan Tianjiao was left there stomping her feet alone.
"I...I'll try my best."
Xu Haifeng still lusts after her body.
"Then go out now and tell your mother that I'm not feeling well and need to rest."
She had to get the man to take the first step.
As expected, Zhan Tianjiao outside the door was so angry that she jumped up and down, almost throwing a tantrum.
Li Aiqin chuckled to herself in the room, thinking that if she wanted to order her around, there was no way she'd get anything done.
Two days later, Li Hanting and his companion drove back to the old house.
As soon as Yuanyuan heard the car, she immediately stood up with her bottom sticking out.
"It must be Mom and Dad who have arrived."
Chen Shufang followed behind, saying, "Slow down, slow down."
As soon as Su Jingjing got out of the car, she saw her daughter with two little braids in her hair, which fluttered in the wind as she ran.
"Mom and Dad, Yuanyuan misses you so much."
The little guy's mouth is as sweet as honey.
Su Jingjing picked her up and kissed her forehead. "Mommy missed you too. Have you been good these past few days?"
Chen Shufang walked over, holding An'an's hand. "The two children are so well-behaved. Your dad takes them out for walks every day. His comrades are very envious. Your dad's smile never fades."
Li Yuan walked over slowly with his hands behind his back. "Ahem... what are you talking about me about?"
Chen Shufang deliberately kept everyone in suspense, saying, "I was just saying you were showing off in front of Lao Gu and the others."
"Hmm... I have two such adorable grandchildren, I definitely have to show them off a little."
Looking at the well-behaved children, Li Yuan lowered his voice and asked, "Are you going out to play with Grandpa again today?"
An'an: "Grandpa, I'm okay."
Yuanyuan glanced at her grandfather, then at her mother, her expression conflicted.
Su Jingjing saw through her thoughts at a glance, "Let's go back tomorrow and go out to play with Grandpa."
The little guy immediately smiled and said, "Grandpa, brother, let's go."
Looking at the three people in front of her, Chen Shufang sighed, "Yuanyuan is so lively now."
"yes."
Su Jingjing was also very pleased.
"Come on, let's go inside. Your sister-in-law is back today too."
The two sisters-in-law hadn't seen each other for quite some time, and now they had a lot to talk about.
Li Hanting said in a low voice, "Mom, I want to talk to you about something."
"Sure."
Chen Shufang was taken aback; it was quite unusual that her second son still had something to talk to her about.
She sat on the sofa, straightened her clothes, and said, "So, what do you want to talk to Mom about?"
Li Hanting sat opposite her. "Mom, Jingjing is preparing for exams recently, so we're not planning to have a third child for the time being."
Upon hearing this, Chen Shufang immediately sat up straight. "Wait, you mean you want to have the baby, but the timing isn't right now."
"Um."
She thought about it carefully and realized that Jingjing might actually pass the exam. But if she went to school with a big belly, it would definitely be very hard for her.
"Alright, as long as you want to have children, it's just a matter of time. Mom won't interfere too much in your lives."
Li Hanting chuckled lightly, "By the way, Mom, it was my idea to talk to you, so don't hold a grudge against Jingjing because of this."
Chen Shufang was both amused and exasperated. "Is your mother such a narrow-minded person?"
"Don't worry, Mom knows everything."
She then got up and said, "Alright, I'll go outside and pick some cabbage so we can make dumplings later."
Su Jingjing sat with Ouyang Qian. Looking at Ouyang Qian's blissful appearance, she could tell that her older brother doted on her.
"Sister-in-law, you should be giving birth soon, right?"
Ouyang Qian gently stroked her belly, "Hmm, less than a month has passed."
"Your older brother and I have been preparing things for the children for a while now."
Every time Ah Chen goes to the store, he sees children's things and wants to bring them all back. If Ah Chen hadn't stopped him, he probably would have filled an entire room.
"uh-huh……"
Su Jingjing asked anxiously, "What's wrong, sister-in-law?"
Ouyang Qian shook her head slightly and said with a smile, "The child just kicked me."
"Then let me touch it." Su Jingjing also found it amazing, "It really moved!"
Ouyang Qian looked at her strangely, and only then did she realize that she seemed to have given herself away.
He offered a haphazard explanation: "Sister-in-law, it's been five years, and feeling the baby move again is still quite a shock."
Ouyang Qian had no doubts and did not think about it further.
Have you considered having a third child?
Alright, another one asking about a third child!
