"Aunt, please don't buy black medicine for Mom. She doesn't like it. Buy her sweet medicine, okay?" Nini said in a low voice.
"Mom's illness isn't serious. She doesn't need to take medicine. She'll recover with more sleep. After she's rested, Auntie will cook all kinds of delicious food for you. Eat more meat, fish, and eggs, and Mom will get better quickly."
When Nini heard that her mother didn't need to take medicine anymore, she seemed very happy and her voice became louder: "Mom, my aunt said that you don't need to take medicine. Don't drink the medicine that grandma makes in the future."
"Okay, okay, I won't drink it anymore." Song Yan choked.
"Nini, auntie, help mom pack the clothes. You go downstairs with your uncle first. We're going to great-grandfather's house for dinner."
Zhou Lanqin sent Nini to her son and ignored Zheng Chaolin who followed in. She quickly took a bag, packed the luggage for the mother and daughter, and then dragged Song Yan away.
Zheng Chaolin followed Song Yan out with a complicated expression. Seeing that Song Yan was about to get in the car, he called out to her, "Yan'er..."
Song Yan stopped, turned around with tears in her eyes, closed her eyes, and said, "Let's go and complete the divorce procedures before the New Year. Nini will be mine. I don't want anything from your family. I'll take my dowry with me."
"Yan'er, we haven't come to this point. I don't want to divorce you. I will tell my parents that I won't force you to have a son anymore." Zheng Chaolin looked a little painful.
"Will they listen to you?" Song Yan asked calmly.
Zheng Chaolin pursed his lips and said in a weak voice: "I will have a good talk with them."
"Zheng Chaolin, I will never believe your promise again."
Song Yan's heart had already turned cold, and her eyes were dim. "Let's complete the divorce procedures as soon as possible, and you should persuade your mother to stop talking nonsense outside. I used to respect her because she was your mother and Nini's grandmother, but I won't do that again. If I hear her slandering my reputation again, don't blame me for being ruthless and not giving your Zheng family face."
"Yan'er, don't..."
Zheng Chaolin went forward to pull her, but was pushed away by Lu Jingchuan. His sharp eyes frightened him and stopped him.
His eyes were sharp and cold, which scared Zheng Chaolin so much that his hands trembled. He wanted to say something, but when he thought of Lu Jingchuan's name, he couldn't utter a word.
Watching the car disappear into the darkness, Zheng Chaolin slumped on the ground in dejection. The happiness of his marriage was still vivid in his mind. He didn't know how he ended up in divorce. He couldn't understand why such a good family broke up like this.
"Chao Lin, if she wants to divorce, then let her divorce. It would be better if Nini can take her away. I will find you another one later. You can find a virgin girl without the burden of children." Zheng's mother said while standing at the door.
"Shut up!"
Zheng's father yelled in the house, smashing the bowl in anger. "You stupid fool, their divorce won't benefit the family at all. Are you blind and can't see it?"
The background and status of the Song and Zhou families are far superior to those of the Zheng family. It is really a blessing for their family to be able to marry Song Yan as a daughter-in-law.
When they got married, their neighbors were envious. Over the years, because of this relationship, the Zheng family's father and son have been promoted at work, and their daughter has also married into a wealthy family. Zheng's mother certainly knows the benefits of having this relative.
But she cared about her grandson, so she said with a sullen face, "I am doing this for the Zheng family's incense, and for a grandson to wear mourning clothes when we die in the future."
"It's not like she can't have children. She's been to the hospital for a checkup, and the doctors said there's nothing wrong with her body. It's only a matter of time before she has a second or third child."
"It's okay if it's later, why are you so anxious to force her to do anything?"
“…”
Zhou Lanqin and the others were unaware of the subsequent quarrel in the Zheng family, and they had already arrived at the Zhou family.
Mr. Zhou and the others greeted them with smiles. Without asking any other questions, Lin Shuyue immediately went to heat up food for the mother and daughter.
"Sister, have some candy."
At Gong Linglong's signal, the triplets all took out candies from their pockets and gave them to Nini.
Nini didn't know about the adults' affairs. Just now, Lu Jingchuan and the others were teasing her on the road. She was very happy all the way and was also very happy to see her three brothers. She said happily to Song Yan: "Mom, my three brothers look exactly the same. I can't tell them apart."
"Mom can't tell either."
The last time Song Yan saw them was when they were about half a year old. She also met them at her grandfather's house at that time. She smiled at the three children and said, "My three darlings, can you introduce yourselves to your aunt?"
"Aunt, I'm Dabao Lu Chuming."
"I'm Lu Changxiao."
"I am your younger brother Gong Pengze."
The three brothers introduced themselves clearly.
Gong Linglong cut a plate of rock sugar mandarin oranges for the mother and daughter and placed it in front of them. "Sister Yan, Nini, eat some fruit first."
"Thank you, aunt." Nini smiled at her.
"Our Nini is so good."
Gong Linglong squatted in front of her and invited her with a smile: "Nini, come with your mother to stay at your aunt's house for a while. Your aunt will make you some steamed egg rolls later."
"I think I've eaten egg rolls before." Nini had some impression.
"Yes, last time when Great Grandpa had his birthday, my aunt made egg rolls. She remembered that Nini loved them."
Nini seemed to remember something and looked up at her mother and said, "Mom, I want egg rolls."
"Mom doesn't know how to make it. Next time when your aunt makes it, I'll learn from her. Then when you want to eat it, I'll make it for you, okay?"
"Okay." Nini smiled happily.
Lin Shuyue quickly heated up the food and made a large bowl of shredded pork and egg soup for the mother and daughter. "Yan'er, Nini, you guys eat first. We can talk about other things after you've filled your stomachs."
"Aunt, thank you for your hard work." Song Yan thanked her.
"You are really becoming more and more alienated from us now." Lin Shuyue glared at her dissatisfiedly.
Song Yan's smile was a little forced. She also knew that the elders were angry with her. She didn't say anything else in front of her daughter. She held her and sat her down. The mother and daughter ate together.
After the mother and daughter finished their meal, Lu Jingchuan took Nini and the triplets outside to the yard to build a snowman, and asked the elders to have a good talk with Song Yan about her family and marriage situation.
In fact, her family affairs are not complicated. Her parents-in-law are patriarchal, her mother-in-law is strong, tricky and mean, and her husband is a coward and incompetent who can only escape when encountering problems.
Her mother-in-law is so eager to have a grandson that she has been to all the major hospitals. Now she has asked relatives and friends to go to the countryside to find all kinds of folk remedies and secret recipes for having a child, forcing her to give birth to a son to carry on the family line.
She and Zheng Chaolin got together through a free love relationship and had a deep affection for each other. At first, they kept their feelings to themselves, but gradually, the feelings wore away. Later, she supported her daughter purely for the sake of having a complete family.
