Chapter 1800: I Was Thinking Whether We Should Have Another Child

~4 min read 693 words

Fu's mother, upon hearing her second daughter-in-law's words, exclaimed, "Really?"

Hao Yanhong said excitedly, "It's true. We arrived late because we went to the hospital first thing this morning. If you don't believe me, ask Yanwei."

They had wanted to conceive for a long time but couldn't; these past few years, the two of them stopped obsessing, and the child came anyway.

Guo Wenjing spoke first: "Congratulations to you. Now Jinze will have a companion."

Hao Yanhong nodded with a smile: "Yes, finally he won't be alone."

Someone laughed and said, "It seems today is truly an auspicious day; your family is experiencing double joy."

Just as everyone was chatting and laughing, they heard the matchmaker's voice: "Is everyone busy?"

Fu's eldest uncle's wife, hearing that voice, smiled and went to greet them: "Uncle and aunt are here; come in and sit quickly."

At this moment, Fu's mother also stepped forward to help with the greetings, seeing them all the way into the house.

It was an agreed-upon matter to begin with, and since the two young people were in a free-love relationship, once the betrothal gifts were displayed, the matter was settled.

The two sides discussed it and directly set the wedding date for the second of next month; after some pleasantries, the matter was officially confirmed.

After Chuxue and the others finished picking the vegetables, there was nothing more for them to do.

She was just about to go see the triplets when she saw Ren Jiangfeng supporting Fu Yanwan, who was already showing, walk in: "Xiao Wan, why is it just the two of you? Where is Guoqing?"

Ren Jiangfeng smiled and answered: "Fourth sister-in-law, my aunt has returned home to visit relatives, and Guoqing is with her."

Fu's mother, hearing this, asked: "Your aunt-in-law has returned to Beijing? When did that happen?"

Ren Jiangfeng smiled and said: "She arrived yesterday afternoon. Thinking we would come today, I didn't specifically tell you."

Once most of the guests had arrived, Fu's eldest uncle's wife had people serve the dishes and begin the banquet.

As soon as they sat at the table, Fu's eldest uncle's wife introduced the Fu family members one by one.

The Luo family only knew that the second son's partner's family was well-off; they never expected that the future daughter-in-law's natal family brothers and sisters were either dual-income workers or university students. Fu Yanjing's weight in her mother-in-law's heart instantly increased.

After the engagement banquet, the atmosphere was very harmonious.

On the way home, Chuxue glanced at Fu Yan Cheng from time to time.

This made Fu Yan Cheng feel ticklish inside: "Wife, why do you keep looking at me?"

Chuxue, seeing his expression, knew he had misunderstood: "Drive your car properly; don't think about all that messy stuff."

Fu Yan Cheng, hearing this, asked: "Do you know what I'm thinking?"

Chuxue turned her head to look out the window: "I don't know."

Fu Yan Cheng laughed outright: "There are no outsiders here; you can know."

Chuxue rolled her eyes at him: "Stop being so cheeky."

Fu Yan Cheng stopped smiling: "Speak up; did something happen?"

Chuxue turned to look at him: "Your second sister-in-law is pregnant today. I was thinking, should we have another child?"

Fu Yan Cheng didn't expect Chuxue to want to talk about this: "Didn't we agree before to just raise Lebao and the other three well?"

She had originally given up on having another child, but today, with her second sister-in-law's pregnancy, the idea returned.

After all, if you want one, you must act within these few months; now there is propaganda for family planning. After next September, it will become strict, and there will be no chance later.

Fu Yan Cheng, seeing her still conflicted, said: "Wife, three children are enough. You are still in school; I don't want you to be so tired."

Chuxue saw that Fu Yan Cheng's expression was very serious, so she dropped the topic.

Fu Yan Cheng, seeing her go silent, thought she was angry: "Wife, are you unhappy?"

Chuxue leaned back in the seat, looking at the street scene outside: "No, I'm just a bit conflicted."
