Chapter 1539: Where Do You Think It's Bad

~4 min read 749 words

Zhang Yurong understood her sister-in-law's meaning and, fearing she might upset the fourth brother, quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes. I must go soak up some of the fourth sister-in-law's and the nieces' and nephews' good fortune."

Hao Yanhong gave a mental "Tch" at her words: Even if you soak up good fortune, it doesn't mean you'll conceive; to bear a son, you need that kind of luck yourself.

Upon entering the courtyard, she saw Fu's mother already waiting there.

Everyone greeted Fu's mother before entering the room.

Once inside, no one moved further in, afraid of bringing the cold air to the mother and her four children.

Liu Chuxue greeted everyone one by one, then heard Xiao Wanxia say, "Liu Chuxue, have you started lactating?"

Liu Chuxue nodded with a smile, "Yes, I have."

Xiao Wanxia rubbed her hands together, trying to warm her body up quickly. "Grandpa and Auntie called this morning. Hearing you gave birth to triplets, they were overjoyed.

However, the weather is cold, and snow blocked the mountain passes a few days ago, making it hard to come out. They asked me to tell you they probably won't be able to make it before the full moon.

Auntie also mentioned she entrusted someone to send you a package a few days ago; it should arrive in the next few days. It's clothes and shoes for the triplets."

Liu Chuxue hadn't expected Auntie to still be thinking of the children and was momentarily moved again. "Oh my, taking care of Grandpa is already exhausting enough; I didn't expect her to still be thinking of us."

Seeing Liu Chuxue's embarrassed expression, Xiao Wanxia said, "When I gave birth to my Yaoyang, Auntie prepared things for me too. Of course, since your family has three, three sets were naturally prepared. Don't worry, we won't be jealous."

For a moment, the room was filled with laughter.

Only after warming themselves up did they walk over.

Upon seeing the triplets, they couldn't help but exclaim in unison, "Oh my, these children are truly well-favored; they've all picked up their parents' best traits."

Fu's mother, the grandmother, hearing these words, wore a face full of pride: "Indeed, all three little ones are delightfully grown; they are very dear to look at."

As soon as she said this, both Hao Yanhong and Zhang Yurong turned to look at her.

Although Fu Yanwan had been gazing happily at her nieces and nephews, her peripheral vision caught the glances of her second and third sisters-in-law. Fearing her family's excessive pride might provoke their displeasure, she couldn't help but tug at her own mother's coat hem.

Fu's mother sensed her daughter's small gesture and naturally saw the glances of the two daughters-in-law, but she didn't care.

These are triplets; as a grandmother, shouldn't she be allowed to show some pride? If anyone has an objection, they can just hold it in.

Seeing Fu Yanwan's expression on her mother's face showed no sign of restraint, she knew her mother wouldn't listen to her, so she quickly changed the subject: "Fourth sister-in-law, have the nieces and nephews been named yet?"

Liu Chuxue smiled, "The formal names aren't decided yet, but the nicknames are."

Fu Yanwan smiled brightly, "Tell us quickly."

Liu Chuxue laughed, "The eldest is called Da Fu, the second is Er Bao, and the little third one is San Wang."

Fu Yanwan's eyes widened, "Ah, so casually?"

Liu Chuxue smiled, "I originally wanted to name the second one Er Xi, but then I thought it sounded like a waiter's name. Your fourth brother treasures his daughter, so I changed it to Er Bao. As for the little third one, I originally wanted to call him San Kang, hoping he would be healthy, but it just didn't feel smooth to say, so I simply called him San Wang."

Fu Yanwan glanced at her little niece, then raised her hand, "Fourth sister-in-law, are you serious? These nicknames will be used for a long time."

Liu Chuxue had chosen these names with a bit of mischief in mind; seeing her sister-in-law speak so seriously, she became serious too, "Where do you think it's bad?"

Actually, she had previously considered naming her daughter Er Ning, but feared the daughter would think, since the eldest is Fu and the third is Wang, why would she be Ning, worrying she might feel her mother favored boys over girls. Seeing her husband dote most on their daughter, she simply chose Bao.
