Xiao Wenjing's gaze became complicated, and a hint of hesitation appeared on his face.
The reason he disliked his daughter-in-law was mainly because he felt she was too domineering and always clashed with him. Every time he faced her, he could feel her powerful aura, as if she were demonstrating against him.
This feeling made him very unhappy, and even made him feel resistant.
When his son looked at Xiao Wenjing, Xiao Wenjing quickly explained, "Chuan'er, I... I'm mainly worried that you're spoiling her too much and will spoil her. A woman should stay at home to be a good wife and mother."
"So what do you want me to do?" Xiao Jingchuan looked at his father calmly. His father's biggest problem was that he couldn't control his emotions. If someone provoked him with a few words, he would treat his wife and son as enemies and criticize them.
Sometimes, he would even act unreasonably because of his so-called self-esteem.
At this moment, Xiao Wenjing dared not look into his son's eyes. He felt that the pressure emanating from his son was too strong, and he was terrified.
"I... I'm an old man like myself and I hope to have some descendants. If you can give me a grandson as soon as possible, I'll be completely satisfied."
Xiao Wenjing trembled with fear when his son gave him a cold look.
Xiao Jingchuan felt a sense of helplessness upon hearing his father's words.
He knew his father had always longed for a grandson, but he and his wife were only married under a contract, and he couldn't have a child on his own.
“Dad, we also hope to have our own children, but that takes time. Right now, I want to focus on my career first, and then we can consider having children once my career is stable,” Xiao Jingchuan explained patiently.
Xiao Wenjing disagreed, saying, "What's more important than having children? If you have them sooner, I can help take care of them."
Xiao Jingchuan couldn't help but retort: "Dad, you have no experience in raising children, so how can you help me take care of the child?"
Xiao Wenjing was so angry that his face turned red. He had never taken care of his three children for more than a few days.
Seeing his father's grim expression, Xiao Jingchuan softened his tone, "Dad, I didn't mean to target you. I don't want my child to suffer with me from the moment he's born. I want to wait until my career is stable before making any other plans."
Xiao Wenjing was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Chuan'er, I know you are a responsible person. But you should also consider my feelings. I'm getting old, and I just want to hold my grandson and enjoy the happiness of family life."
Xiao Jingchuan was also conflicted. He understood his father's thoughts, but he didn't want to force his wife.
"Dad, give me some time, I'll think about it carefully." Xiao Jingchuan casually brushed it off, not wanting to continue discussing the child.
Upon hearing his son's words, Xiao Wenjing frowned and sighed, "Chuan'er, I don't mean for you to make things difficult for your wife, but her constant running around makes people think that our Xiao family has no manners. Moreover, her behavior can easily lead people to misunderstand whether she has ulterior motives."
Xiao Jingchuan was speechless at his father's behavior. His wife was always running around to make money, and besides, she wasn't sold to the Xiao family.
"Father, I believe my wife will not have any other intentions, so please stop worrying."
Xiao Wenjing was extremely dissatisfied with this answer; he felt that his son was just giving him a perfunctory answer.
"Fine, I don't want to be disliked either. You can decide what to do."
Xiao Wenjing sighed bitterly. His son wasn't on his side, so no matter what he said, it was useless.
The tense atmosphere was broken by Xiao Wanqing's arrival.
Seeing the expressions on her father's and brother's faces, Xiao Wanqing roughly understood what had happened.
She smiled and bowed to her father, "Father, I know what happened at home. Please don't make things difficult for my sister-in-law anymore."
"You brat, you start nagging me as soon as you get back." Xiao Wenjing snorted coldly, feeling that his daughter had been won over by his daughter-in-law and that he was superfluous in the family.
"Dad, how can you say that?" Xiao Wanqing walked to her father's side, took his arm and said coquettishly, "My sister-in-law is busy with everything every day for our family. You should be more understanding of her."
Seeing this, Xiao Wenjing didn't say anything more. He knew that his daughter had always been at odds with him, and there was no point in continuing to argue.
"Alright, I understand." Xiao Wenjing waved his hand impatiently, then turned and went back to his room.
Xiao Jingchuan looked at his sister and smiled gratefully. "Thank you, Wanqing."
"Brother, why are you being so polite with me?" Xiao Wanqing said with a smile. "As long as you are happy, I'm happy."
Xiao Jingchuan nodded, secretly marveling at how fortunate he was to have such an understanding younger sister.
Thinking about work, Xiao Wanqing casually mentioned, "Brother, I plan to go back to Yunke Ferry tomorrow. I've already taken more than ten days off, so I'm sorry to ask for more."
Xiao Jingchuan supports his sister's decision. He arranged for her to join Yunkedu so that she could learn some management experience. When the time is right, he will hand Yunkedu over to her to manage.
"Wanqing, working for someone else for a long time is not a sustainable plan. Go to Yunke Ferry and study hard. In the future, when I make money, I will open a restaurant for you."
"That's what I'm planning to do too. Last month, Manager Yuan transferred me to the kitchen to learn how to cook. Given time, I'm sure I'll be able to handle things on my own."
"Wanqing, you can do it! You can definitely do it."
Xiao Wanqing nodded slightly and said with a firm look in her eyes, "Don't worry, brother, I will try my best! By the way, sister-in-law has been working hard lately, so you should take good care of her."
Xiao Jingchuan smiled and replied, "I know, your sister-in-law is very capable, and I feel sorry for her."
The brother and sister chatted for a while longer before Xiao Wanqing went back to her room to pack her luggage.
