To be honest, Father Qi was fine. When Mother Qi first found out that Zhenbai’s wife wasn’t pregnant, she felt terrible no matter how she thought about it. However, before she could vent her anger on Zhenbai’s wife, Qi Hao told the Qi family everything.
Only then did Mother Qi realize that Haozi was the one who had caused all this. Because of Haozi’s message, the old man misunderstood. Thinking back to Zhenbai’s wife’s stiff face at the time, Mother Qi thought that they had probably forced her into a difficult position.
Zhenbai also said just now that since this had happened, he had taken the old man’s feelings into consideration and wanted to really have a child with his wife. Unfortunately, they had gone to the hospital today for a checkup, and Zhenbai’s wife wasn’t pregnant. It was especially uncomfortable for her.
Thinking about how this child was willing to get pregnant and give birth to a child for Zhenbai despite her age, Mother Qi couldn’t blame her. Instead, she was very grateful to Zhenbai’s wife.
If it had been her in her youth, and someone had made her give up her studies as soon as she entered university, she would have scratched the other party’s face off.
The more Mother Qi thought about it, the more guilty she felt. She felt that Zhenbai had found a good person who probably listened to Zhenbai at home.
She knew her son best. He was domineering and overbearing, and always meant what he said. She pitied Zhenbai’s wife, so when she heard Zhenbai’s words, Mother Qi spoke up for her daughter-in-law. “Your wife is still young, and there’s no hurry to have children. You two do as you see fit.” After changing the subject, Mother Qi said to her son, “Zhenbai, you should ask for your wife’s opinion when it comes to having children. Don’t make the decision yourself. Your wife is still young and studying!”
In fact, when she thought of Zhenbai’s age, Mother Qi was indeed especially anxious to hold a grandson. However, Mother Qi wasn’t an unreasonable mother-in-law. She knew that this kind of thing couldn’t be rushed. Not only did her daughter-in-law appear blessed, she would definitely have no problem having children in the future.
Mother Qi’s tense heart completely relaxed.
Qi Zhenbai hummed without a change in his expression.
Chi Shuyan really hadn’t expected Mother Qi to speak up for her at this moment. She had clearly seen how excited and happy Mother Qi had been when Chi Shuyan was “pregnant.”
Chi Shuyan felt very grateful and guilty. The better Mother Qi was, the more guilty she felt.
Mother Qi patted her daughter-in-law’s hand and exhorted, “Don’t just listen to Zhenbai when it comes to having children. You’ve just entered university, so study hard. No one in the family blames you. If Zhenbai doesn’t agree, come and tell me. I’ll definitely lecture this kid. But when you graduate, I’ll wait for my precious grandchildren!”
Chi Shuyan was incomparably grateful to have such a sensible mother-in-law. She specially looked at the man next to her, who was still tense, and said to Mother Qi with a smile, “I understand, Mom!”
Seeing that it was getting late, Mother Qi told Zhenbai to bring his wife to bed first.
She also said a few words to Second Uncle Qi on behalf of Haozi, telling him not to blame Haozi. Second Aunt looked at Mother Qi gratefully. She knew that her sister-in-law had always been a good person.
Since Mother Qi had spoken, Father Qi shared her thoughts. Except for Grandpa Qi, Father Qi, and Mother Qi, no one else had the right to say anything about Zhenbai’s wife being pregnant.
It was just that when they returned to their rooms, Mother Qi thought about how Shuyan was still young, and was afraid that Zhenbai would mess around; she wondered if she should clean up another room for her.
Qi Zhenbai saw through his mother’s thoughts and his face sank. He wrapped his arm around his wife and said forcefully to Mother Qi, “Mom, I’m in the same room as my wife!”
