Chapter 115: Highly Likely to Marry and Have Children Normally
Her gaze towards Yun Qinghuan became increasingly strange.
Yun Qinghuan subconsciously touched her face. “Mom, what’s wrong?”
Liu Yuzhi glanced at her busy son and said directly, “Qinghuan, what do you think of Naihan?”
“He’s very good.” Yun Qinghuan was a little confused but still answered honestly.
Bai Naihan was indeed very good. He was hardworking and capable, unlike some men who had a big temper despite their lack of ability and were full of machismo. He didn’t have these faults and never thought that doing laundry and cooking was something only women should do.
Even in modern times, he would be a rare and good man.
Bai Naihan had been focused on carving the wooden plank, but upon hearing his name, he subconsciously looked up. Seeing his mother asking Yun Qinghuan what she thought of him, his body tensed up, and he unconsciously slowed his movements, pricking up his ears to listen.
After hearing her answer, the corners of the man’s lips involuntarily curved up. He pursed his lips and continued carving, but his state was clearly completely different from before.
Liu Yuzhi naturally noticed her son’s series of small actions, and Grandma Chen’s words involuntarily came to her mind again.
It had to be said that if it weren’t for her unease due to her eldest son being in the middle, Naihan and Qinghuan would indeed be a good match.
Thinking about random things, she deliberately put on a distressed expression. “I think my son is quite good, it’s just that his luck is bad. Even if his leg heals now, how much of a future can he have staying in the countryside? It’s hard enough to make a living. Look at the kind of matches people in the village are introducing to him now! Either a girl who sponges off her parents’ family or a foolish girl. Why is my son so unlucky? I don’t even know if I’ll live to see him get married and have children.”
Yun Qinghuan: “???”
What could she do? She could only comfort her mother-in-law, “Mom, you also said that Naihan has good qualities. Once his leg is healed, he definitely won’t have trouble finding a good girl. Making a living isn’t that difficult either. At the very least, he’s a good carpenter, so he won’t starve. Don’t worry too much.”
She didn’t know why Liu Yuzhi suddenly became worried about her younger son.
She suspected it was because Xia Yuhua was getting married, most likely pregnant, which then reminded her of her poor, abandoned son.
Liu Yuzhi forced out two tears. “Are you serious?”
“Yes, I am.” Yun Qinghuan was very sincere.
Feeling that her mother-in-law’s emotions had calmed down somewhat, she prepared to go inside to find An An, afraid that the child was crying alone behind their backs.
When she passed by Bai Naihan, she patted his shoulder. “Naihan, did you hear that? Mom probably wants to have a grandson, so you need to work hard!”
She was encouraging him, thinking that once Xia Yuhua and Gu Mingliang were really married and had a child the following year, he would probably be urged by his mother even more.
After all, one had to fight for respect if not for gain.
Bai Naihan pursed his lips, looked up at her, and remained silent.
Yun Qinghuan awkwardly took her hand away. “Forget it, you just do your carpentry. Marriage is indeed something that can’t be rushed; it depends on fate. But you can also try to speed things up a bit.”
After saying that, she waved her hand and went inside.
Fortunately, although An An had closed the door, he hadn’t bolted it from the inside. With a “creak,” she opened the door and saw An An with his bottom sticking up and his head buried in the quilt, his body slightly trembling.
Her brow furrowed, and she approached the child, touching him with her hand. “What’s wrong? Are you crying now?”
The little guy twisted his bottom and shook off her hand. “I’m not crying!”
He denied it with a nasal voice, but the heavy sound of crying inside couldn’t be concealed.
He even hiccuped from crying.
“Still saying you’re not crying? You can’t fool Mom. But if you don’t want to talk, Mom won’t force you. Tell Mom when you feel like it.” She didn’t leave but sat down on the edge of the bed, patting his back and humming a little tune to comfort him.
Perhaps it was because she was too gentle, but An An finally raised his head, revealing red and swollen eyes, and burst into loud sobs.
“Wuwuwu, Mom, is what Fatty’s mom said true? Will you have other younger brothers and sisters in the future and then not love me anymore and not want me anymore?”
The more he spoke, the more heartbroken he became.
His voice was hoarse, and he almost couldn’t catch his breath.
Yun Qinghuan knew that he must be sulking about this. She held the child in her arms and gently comforted him, wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes with her hand. “How could that be? No matter if Mom has other children in the future, An An will always be Mom’s precious. I won’t abandon you, don’t worry.”
“Really?” The little child looked up, not quite believing her.
“Really.” Yun Qinghuan said this very seriously.
And she was already planning that if she really left in the future, she would work hard to earn money and take Liu Yuzhi and An An away to live with her.
As for Bai Naihan, she hadn’t considered him. His recovery should be better than in the original story. Without An An causing trouble for him this time, he would most likely marry and have children normally, having his own little family.
Yun Qinghuan coaxed the child for a long time, and finally, An An cried himself to sleep.
At the door, Liu Yuzhi saw this scene and heard what her grandson said. Her eyes turned sour, and she almost wanted to cry too.
At this moment, Grandma Chen’s words flashed through her mind again. She even began to think that Grandma Chen was quite right.
If Qinghuan remarried her younger son Naihan, it would be good for both her and her grandson. Moreover, her younger son seemed to really like Qinghuan.
After a long while, she shook her head with struggle. No, she couldn’t be selfish. Unless her daughter-in-law agreed herself, she couldn’t morally blackmail her into agreeing.
After all, if her daughter-in-law really married Naihan, there would definitely be no shortage of rumors and gossip in the village.
Qinghuan didn’t need to suffer these hardships.
Yun Qinghuan didn’t know the internal struggle of her mother-in-law. While the child was asleep, she sat at the table again to write her manuscript. The second manuscript was almost finished, totaling about fifty to sixty thousand words, which could earn her over a hundred yuan, and the royalties wouldn’t be small either.
But she began to worry about her next story. Her mind was still a mess, and she wasn’t very inspired.
At noon, after eating, Yun Qinghuan took out the letter she had written and looked at it carefully again. She confirmed that the paper was very ordinary and had deliberately written the words with her left hand, also intentionally misspelling some words and using pinyin for some difficult characters. The letter looked like a dog had crawled over it, so no one should be able to guess that she wrote it.
In the afternoon, Yun Qinghuan casually made up an excuse and went out.
Before leaving, the man seemed to notice something unusual and looked up at her. Yun Qinghuan subconsciously avoided his gaze.
Liu Yuzhi told her to be careful about sun protection, as the sun outside was really strong.
Usually, Yun Qinghuan wouldn’t go out at this time at all, so her sudden departure naturally aroused suspicion, especially considering that she had returned so late last night and her expression had been a bit off.
However, neither Liu Yuzhi nor Bai Naihan asked.
Yun Qinghuan also breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, she would have had to explain, and it wasn’t appropriate for anyone to know about Lu Juan’s matter, especially since she was preparing to report it!
