"Is that so?" Yangyang was somewhat disbelieving.
"Of course, it is." Deceiving a child is effortless.
Yangyang nodded thoughtfully but suddenly said, "Auntie, are you actually afraid I wonât wait for your daughter, right?"
"...Do I have that intention?" Dongyang was taken aback.
"Thatâs exactly what you mean." Yangyang nodded shrewdly and then seriously said to Dongyang, "Auntie, please tell my wife that Iâm willing to wait for her, oh, and by the way, tell her to come out quickly, or else Iâm really afraid I wonât be able to resist agreeing to Uncle Shaofengâs offer."
"Alright, alright, I got it," Dongyang said, seeing his earnest expression and not having the heart to tell him that, child, whether Auntie can give birth to a daughter is still a question.
"Xiaxia, your mother is here." While Yang Chuxia and Dongyang were speaking, Ms. Wang led a group of people in.
Yang Chuxia saw that quite a few were from the town and hurriedly invited them to sit down.
However, whenever Yang Chuxiaâs gaze slid past Ms. Wang, she noticed that Ms. Wangâs expression seemed off.
Seeing the people following behind Ms. Wang, she understood why Ms. Wang looked so displeased.
Ms. Liu of Wang Family had returned home five days ago. She originally wanted to wait until after Yang Chuxia had given birth before going back, but Yang Chuxiaâs uncle from her motherâs side sent word that his daughter-in-law had given birth to a big, chubby boy.
Thus, Ms. Liu happily went back home to see her great-grandson.
Once she was no longer at the Yang Family, Ms. Qian of Wang Family dared to come here again, and with her arrival, Qian Xiaoqing also braved to tag along.
Yang Chuxia gave the two a cold glance exactly when Qian Xiaoqing, who was inspecting the room, looked up and met her gaze.
Back then, her grandmother had tried to get her second uncle to divorce his wife, but the second uncle was reluctant. Eventually, as if escaping, he quickly left with his wife, and so the matter of the divorce came to nothing.
In the end, the second uncleâs wife and Qian Xiaoqing were sent back to the Qian Family.
Some days ago, Qian Xiaoqing and Ms. Qian of Wang Family came over again, but hearing that Ms. Liu of Wang Family hadnât returned home and was still staying in Yangshu Village, at the Ye Familyâs place, they swiftly left, not even making an appearance at the Yang Family home.
But why had they come today?
"Xiaxia, today your family is having a baptism for the child, and itâs only right for me, as an aunt, to come and see," Ms. Qian of Wang Family said, noticing her eyes fixed on Qian Xiaoqing and decided to explain.
Truth be told, she hadnât even known that Yang Chuxiaâs child was already born until she arrived at Yangshu Village.
She thought to herself that her niece was really fortunate to have given birth to both a son and a daughter, and looked at the fancy small building, thinking it was quite lavish.
Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia couldnât help but scoff coldly. If there werenât other people in the room, she would have lashed out long ago.
When Lele and Yangyang were born, Ms. Qian didnât even show up. Now she says sheâs come to see the child? How laughable. Sheâs probably scheming again. And that Qian Xiaoqing, who the hell is family with her?
"Yes, big cousin sister, my aunt and I should indeed come see our little nephew," Qian Xiaoqing chimed in after Ms. Qian of Wang Family.
Just that one sentence, and an expression of disbelief appeared in Yang Chuxiaâs eyes.
What did she just call her? Big cousin sister?
Even the others in the room showed expressions of disbelief. Among those who had come in with Ms. Wang were some from the town, including families Ms. Wang had considered suitable matches for Yang Qingrui.
"Madam Ye, who is this?" one of the ladies from the Zhang Family asked.
"Yeah, why does she call you big cousin sister? Which one of your two brothers is married? Why didnât you invite us to the wedding feast?"
