The little girl's surname is Chong (虫). (When Chong is used as a surname, it is pronounced Gu, third tone, not Chong). Her given name is Yue (月). Her nickname is Yueyue (月月).
Chongyue is just ten years old this year. Chongyue has an older brother. His given name is Xiong.
The woman under the tree is Chongyue's mother. Chongyue's maternal grandparents only had one child, her mother. After she grew up, Chongyue's mother married into the family. Therefore, both Chongyue and her brother took their mother's surname. Chongyue's mother's name was Chongling.
Chongyue's father's surname is Xiong. Chongyue's older brother's name is a combination of their surnames. Chongyue's father has three brothers. He is the second oldest, and his given name is Lin. Xiong Lin's eldest brother is named Xiong Mu, and his younger brother is named Xiong Sen.
Back then, Xiong Lin's parents had already arranged a marriage for him, but Xiong Lin fell in love with Chong Ling and insisted on becoming a live-in son-in-law in the Chong family. Old Man Xiong was furious and hung Xiong Lin up and beat him several times, but Xiong Lin wouldn't budge. Old Man Xiong couldn't kill his son, so in the end, he kicked Xiong Lin out of the house.
After kicking Xiong Lin out, Old Man Xiong and Old Woman Xiong took their gifts and went to the house of the girl they had arranged for Xiong Lin. Old Man Xiong told the girl's father that if he was willing, he would let Xiong Sen marry his daughter. If he was unwilling, the two families would break off the engagement. The Xiong family would also forgo the betrothal gifts for their daughter and instead give her a silver bracelet.
The girl's father thought about it and chose the first one. A month later, Xiong Sen married the girl.
After being kicked out by Old Man Xiong, Xiong Lin went to the Insect Family.
Originally, Chong Ling only had a slight crush on Xiong Lin. But after learning that Xiong Lin would rather be beaten to death by Old Man Xiong than marry another woman, Chong Ling was moved.
The next day, Chong Ling and Xiong Lin got married.
Xiong Lin got married earlier than Xiong Sen. Although it was only a month earlier, it was still earlier. As a result, Xiong Sen's wife had already given birth to two children, while Chong Ling's belly still showed no signs of pregnancy.
Xiong Sen's wife always glances at Chong Ling's stomach whenever she sees him. Harboring resentment over her husband's loss, if it weren't for her fear of Chong Ling, she wouldn't just stop at glancing at his stomach and making suggestive remarks.
Two or three years later, Old Man Xiong's anger had subsided considerably. Seeing that Chong Ling's belly hadn't shown any signs of pregnancy, Old Man Xiong had Xiong Mu call Xiong Sen home.
Xiong Lin knew that if his father didn't give the order, his older brother definitely wouldn't dare to call him back. So, as soon as Xiong Lin returned, he went to the house of Old Man Xiong and Old Woman Xiong. "Father, Mother, I'm back."
Old Man Xiong grunted in agreement with a dark expression.
Grandma Xiong wiped her eyes: "Why are you so stubborn, child? If your brother hadn't gone to call you, would you have never come back in this lifetime?"
"No. I'm afraid you'll be angry if I come back."
Grandma Xiong: "Silly child. Your father's anger has long since subsided."
"Cough! Cough!" Old Man Xiong coughed twice: "Who said my anger has subsided? Second brother, your younger brother already has two children, how come you don't have one? Is there something wrong with you or your wife?"
"Are we both alright?"
Grandma Xiong: "Then why isn't your wife pregnant yet?"
Old Man Xiong glared at Xiong Lin: "You insisted on going to the Chong family to be their son-in-law, even though we told you not to. Now look what happened! You can't even have a child."
Grandma Xiong looked at Xiong Lin and said, "Why don't you come back? The Chong family hires sons-in-law to carry on the family line. You've lived in the Chong family for three years, and that girl hasn't given birth to a child."
Today, Old Man Xiong had Xiong Mu call Xiong Lin back so that he could separate from Chong Ling. "Your mother is right. They summoned you to help them continue their family line. Since you can't help them continue their family line, you should come back as soon as possible. Otherwise, you'll be kicked out."
Grandma Xiong: "Yes. When you come back, I'll find you another wife. If you still can't have children, I'll have your brother adopt a son for you."
Xiong Lin also wanted children. But… “Dad, Mom, Chong Ling and I are both fine. We’ll have children sooner or later. Dad, Mom, don’t worry.”
Old Man Xiong: "We have grandsons. We're worried about you."
Old Mrs. Xiong: "Second son, are you afraid of upsetting the Chong family, that's why you don't dare to come back?"
"No. Mother, Chongling's father had someone calculate the fortunes for Chongling and me. That person said that Chongling and I are destined to have children later in life. Father, Mother, don't worry."
Old Man Xiong glanced at Xiong Lin and said, "Just wait until they kick you out."
Xiong Lin smiled and said, "No, Father, Mother, please don't try to persuade me. I will never part with Chong Ling in this lifetime."
Old Man Xiong kicked Xiong Lin in anger: "Get out! I never want to see you again in my life."
Grandma Xiong wanted to persuade Xiong Lin again, but Old Man Xiong said, "Get out. Don't come back even if you get kicked out of the Chong family. If you do come back, I won't let you in. Get out, get out!"
"Dad, Mom, I'm going back now. Take care of yourselves. If anything happens at home, have my brother call me."
Old Man Bear: "Get lost!"
Old Mrs. Xiong: "Second son, think about it again."
"No need. Dad, Mom, I'm leaving now. I'll come back to see you when I have time."
Old Man Bear: "I don't need you to look. Get lost!"
Grandma Xiong: "Second son, come back if you've thought it through. Your father won't let you in, but your mother will."
"Okay. Father, Mother, I'm leaving."
Xiong Mu called Xiong Lin away in front of Chong Ling. As soon as Xiong Lin returned, Chong Ling asked him, "Did your father ask your brother to call you back?"
"Um."
"What's up?"
"No. I just wanted to ask why we still don't have a child?"
"So what did you say?"
"I said that our connection with having children came relatively late."
Since the question is why they don't have children yet, then… Chong Ling looked at Xiong Lin and asked, "Has your father accepted me?"
"not yet."
"I thought your dad had accepted me."
"Don't worry. Once we have a child, my dad will accept you."
Chong Ling touched her stomach. "Why can't I get pregnant?"
Xiong Lin comforted Chong Ling for a long time before Chong Ling's mood improved.
Another year passed before Chongling became pregnant.
Yueyue hugged the little panda and hid in the tree, not daring to even breathe.
After searching around but not finding Chong Yue, Chong Ling put her hands on her hips and shouted, "You brat, if you don't come out soon, I'm letting Xiao Xun go!"
Yueyue pretended to yawn big. After yawning, Yueyue said to the little panda in her arms, "Little bear cub, I think I heard my mom calling me? Did you hear that?"
Chong Ling snorted: "You brat, if I hadn't told you to let Xiao Xun go, were you planning to stay up in the tree forever?"
Yueyue pushed aside the tree branch, looked at Chongling, and smiled: "Mother, is it really you? I thought I was dreaming."
"You brat, get down here."
"Okay." Yueyue nimbly slid down from the tree. Xiongwa followed Yueyue down the tree.
As soon as Yueyue's feet touched the ground, Chongling grabbed her ear: "Tell me! Why did you release the husband-raising Gu that I gave you?"
