“Why can’t I eat? I haven’t eaten lunch yet. I’m really hungry.” Yuwen Jing didn’t know what had happened to Chen Meng’er.
“If you eat all of this today, I’ll tell you, Yuwen Jing, you’re finished today,” Chen Meng’er pointed at the food and said to Yuwen Jing.
“Ah? No way. The two grandpas hate me so much that they want to drug me?” Yuwen Jing refused to believe that Elder Liu and Elder Qu didn’t like him enough to poison him to death. “Meng’er, you must be joking with me. If I’m done for, won’t you be a widow? The two grandpas won’t do such a thing.”
“What are you thinking, Yuwen Jing? I really didn’t realize before that you have such a rich imagination.” Regarding Yuwen Jing’s guess, Chen Meng’er really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“Isn’t that what you said?” Yuwen Jing felt wronged. He wasn’t paranoid. It was only because of what Chen Meng’er said that he thought of this.
“But I didn’t say that they drugged you.” Chen Meng’er rolled her eyes.
“Then what do you mean by that?” Yuwen Jing asked.
“These vegetables are hot. There are things like bullwhip in them. I don’t think I’ll say much about the effects of bullwhip. You should know all about it, right?” Chen Meng’er said.
It turned out that her sixth sense was not wrong. When she saw her two grandpas today, she felt that it was strange. So that was it.
This time, Yuwen Jing was getting more and more confused. “Meng’er, what do they mean? I am a little confused.”
“They are getting anxious.” Chen Meng’er picked up the lid cleanly and covered the thermos bucket. She could not eat these dishes. She did not want to spend the next few days in bed.
Chen Meng’er was really sweating over her two grandpas’ actions.
“What?” Yuwen Jing was still a little out of it and did not react in time.
“What do you think they are anxious about?” Chen Meng’er really did not expect her two grandpas to be so anxious.
However, after she got married, every time they met, the two old men would stare at her stomach. Sometimes, they would even look at her and giggle. If Chen Meng’er did not know that the two of them were normal, she would have thought that they were crazy.
“Are you saying that the two old men want us to have children? Oh, no, I’m wrong. They want us to have daughters.” Other people valued sons over daughters, but the two old men valued daughters over sons. “It can’t be?”
“How can it be impossible? How did you get them to agree to let me marry you?”
Speaking of which, it was true. “Then what do we do now?”
“What do you mean, what do we do now?” Chen Meng’er asked.
“Didn’t you say before that you don’t want to have children so early? In this situation, how are we going to deal with the two old men?” Actually, Yuwen Jing didn’t want to have children so early either. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to have children with Chen Meng’er, it was just that he had finally married Chen Meng’er. He hadn’t lived a happy life with Chen Meng’er yet. He didn’t want to have a baby at this time and disrupt their lives. He also did not want anyone to snatch Chen Meng’er away from him.
“If you don’t want a baby, can you handle the two? Oh, no, it’s not just the two of them, but your grandfather as well. During this period of time, the three of them have been together every day. Who knows, maybe your grandfather will have a share in today’s lunch.” All of them were staring at her stomach. Fortunately, Chen Meng’er was not in a hurry to give birth. Otherwise, if the three old men stared at her like that, Chen Meng’er felt that it would be a huge blow to her. “I reckon that with the three old men’s eagerness to hold the child, there might be something added to it every day. Who knows, one day, you might accidentally fall into their trap. I’ll explain it first. When the time comes, you can solve it yourself.”
“Hey, Meng’er, how can you do this? We’re husband and wife.” Yuwen Jing could not take it anymore. How could he solve it himself?
“So, you have to be careful. Also, I’m sure that in another month, if I don’t make any movements, the three old men will probably make us get medicals done to check if we’re healthy.” Based on Chen Meng’er’s understanding of the three old men, this possibility was high.
“No, that can’t be.” Although Yuwen Jing said that it was impossible, he knew clearly in his heart that this was something that was highly likely to happen. “Then what should we do? According to your analysis, we’re going to have a child soon.”
As Yuwen Jing spoke, he thought about his life after having a child.
As he thought about it, a thought suddenly flashed through Yuwen Jing’s mind. Actually, having a child was not bad.
Yuwen Jing, who had not eaten meat for a few days, cleared his throat and coughed. In order to not let Chen Meng’er see through his little plan, he deliberately did not look at Chen Meng’er and pretended to be serious. He said, “Ahem, actually, I think it’s not a bad idea for us to have a child now.”
“Hm?” Chen Meng’er’s dangerous voice rose. She suspected that Yuwen Jing had ulterior motives.
“It’s a very good thing to have a child to distract the three old men’s attention. This way, the three old men won’t have to keep an eye on the two of us every day. You can also relax a lot. Why not?” Yuwen Jing said. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that having a child was really a good thing.
With the three old men’s love for their great-granddaughter, he thought that this child would disturb his and Chen Meng’er’s private time. Such a thing shouldn’t happen very often.
Chen Meng’er thought about Yuwen Jing’s words and felt that it was quite reasonable.
However, she didn’t answer directly. Instead, she replied, “Let me think about it.”
