Chapter 182: with translation of chapter title

182 After you got married, when are you planning to have a child?

After returning to the residence, Xie Shiyu was waiting at the door for her.

He still had his apron on, sleeves rolled up to his forearms, fair skin, full of husbandly vibes.

Tushan Jiu took a couple quick steps, went to hug his arm, tiptoed and kissed his lips, saying, "You've worked hard."

Xie Shiyu instinctively moved forward, but Tushan Jiu had already withdrawn.

She grabbed his hand and headed indoors, saying, "Come on, come on, I'm about to starve, eat, eat, I want to eat!"

Xie Shiyu gave a low chuckle, "Slow down, first wash your hands, I'll go serve you rice."

He noticed that in familiar surroundings, Tushan Jiu becomes even more lively; she is simply too adorable.

Xie Shiyu prepared a whole table of dishes, and earned Tushan Jiu's hearty praise.

Throughout the meal, the corner of his mouth never stopped being raised.

After finishing the meal, neither of them let the other rest; instead, they cleaned the kitchen together and then went to the courtyard.

In the backyard of Tushan Jiu's home, there is a viewing platform with a lounge chair.

Today is the sixteenth day of the lunar month, and the moon is full.

Charcoal was placed in the brazier, each person had a glass of red wine, the two lounge chairs swayed as they chatted—needless to say, it was extremely comfortable.

But precisely because it was so comfortable, before she could finish a glass of wine, Tushan Jiu fell asleep.

Xie Shiyu carried her back to the bedroom.

She was already wearing plush pajamas, so he didn't wake her, just covered her with a blanket and turned off the light.

Returning to his own bedroom, Xie Shiyu changed clothes, because there was still an international meeting to attend, and Secretary Li had sent over several documents requiring his personal signature.

It wasn't until 1:30 a. m. that the light in his room was finally turned off.

Meanwhile, the He Family, far downtown, was destined for a sleepless night.

At the gate of the He Family residence, the second son He Jing and the fifth son He RuiChu personally hung white lanterns.

Although the inheritance matter fell through, among the ten children He Qian adopted, not all of them are ungrateful.

These two, the second and fifth, have also followed He Qian for quite a while, so they do have some feelings; they are certainly unwilling, but they will not refuse to see their foster father off just because they didn't inherit the estate.

Just as the two were about to finish hanging the white lanterns, the sound of rolling suitcase wheels and high heels came from inside the gate.

He Jing and He RuiChu knew who it was without even looking.

After a few seconds, sure enough, what appeared before their eyes was Wen Wan pulling a suitcase, about to leave.

He RuiChu was a bit angry, but there was nothing he could do.

As the saying goes, birds of the same forest fly apart when disaster strikes; moreover, Wen Wan was only He Qian's lover for two years, and everyone knows why she did it—how could she possibly observe mourning for He Qian?

So He Jing and He RuiChu also didn't speak to her, pretending not to see; whoever wants to leave can leave, as long as they have a clear conscience.

Tomorrow, after the funeral is over, they will also pack up and leave the He Family residence, because this place now belongs to someone else.

After Wen Wan left, the two brought the ladder inside, then prepared to close the gate and go to the mourning hall, where He Zheyuan was still present.

With a "creak", the wooden gate slowly closed.

Suddenly, a hand pressed against the door.

He Jing and He RuiChu were startled, tilting their heads to look outside.

They saw a man in leather clothing, wearing a mask, standing conspicuously at the doorway.

The next morning, after packing up, Tushan Jiu and Xie Shiyu set out for the Tushan Family ancestral graves.

Speaking of the Tushan Family's graveyard, don't be fooled by the lack of special construction—it looks no different from an ordinary grave site, without even a fence, yet the entire plot of land belongs to the Tushan Family.

The car stopped outside the graveyard; surrounding green mountains and clear waters, with a small stream behind, the feng shui is indeed excellent.

Tushan Jiu and Xie Shiyu got out of the car, took all the prepared items, and the driver also made two trips to help.

Because Tushan Jiu didn't know exactly what Xie Shiyu had prepared, seeing the driver move things back and forth, the cigarettes, alcohol, and tea went without saying, but when she saw many health and wellness products, new-model phones, computers, and luxury goods in the back, what did she finally see?

A car!

Others burn paper cars and houses for ancestral rites, but he really didn't treat her family as ghosts—whatever he prepared as a gift for the living, he prepared just the same.

Oh, wait, no one in the living world gives a car as a first-time visit gift either!

Although they could use it, and sometimes they'd even appear in dreams to ask for it, but this is too......

Anyway, this is all his intention; his father loved cars most, but back then it wasn't that conditions didn't allow it—it was her grandfather's fate that forbade it.

What's more important, her grandfather had worn her father out to death first.

Victory to the end.

So her father never got to drive a luxury car in his lifetime.

Now her future son-in-law has made it happen for him.

Xie Shiyu, relying on his 'strength', precisely selected the car her father liked—a top-of-the-line new model G.

Alright, if she were Xie Shiyu's father-in-law, she would definitely be satisfied with this future son-in-law!

However, Tushan Jiu is equally pleased, because this reflects Xie Shiyu's attitude toward her.

The newest grave is her grandfather's.

But the Tushan Family graves are not arranged chronologically; each person's 'plot' is reserved in advance.

Tushan Jiu herself also has a plot, though hers is among the younger generation's table, on the other side.

She didn't tell Xie Shiyu, feeling it unnecessary, because since she and he are married, an early death seems unlikely.

She didn't stay silent because she feared Xie Shiyu finding out, but because she feared the ancestors hearing it would envy (be jealous of) her.

Having laid out the gift, Tushan Jiu lit incense, Xie Shiyu took it, bowed before all the tombstones, and respectfully said:

"Junior of the Xie Family, Xie Shiyu, today I have come to pay my respects to all the elders."

"Although I have had an engagement with Jiujiu since childhood, I still ought to come here and promise to the elders in person that I will be faithful and loving to Jiujiu for life; please rest assured, elders."

The words weren't particularly fancy; after all, saying so much is useless.

Just these three words 'a lifetime'—how many can say them but fail to live up to them?

Actually, when Tushan Jiu lit the incense, her great-grandparents, grandparents, and parents had already arrived.

Oh, right, there's also her fun-loving second great-uncle, as well as her eldest cousin and second cousin.

It's just that Xie Shiyu can't see them.

Finally, only Tushan Jiu's grandparents and parents appeared.

But what Tushan Jiu never expected was that her grandmother came up and pulled Xie Shiyu to ask:

«Little Yu, when are you planning to have a child after your marriage? »

Tushan Jiu: «!!! »

Xie Shiyu: «!!! »
