Chapter 1235: The Small Matter of Having a Child (2)
Yuwen Jing did not expect to hear such an answer from Chen Meng’er.
“Meng’er, you really think too much. Don’t you think that with our abilities, we can’t raise a child well? If we can’t raise a child well, there are very few people in this world who can raise a child well.” It was not that Yuwen Jing was bold. It was that he was speaking the truth.
No matter what aspect, with their abilities, they could give their children the best.
Moreover, even if the two newbie parents had a lot of inadequacies, there were still many experienced people who could help them, “Meng’er, your worries are unnecessary. I promise you that our children will be the happiest children in the future.”
!!
“Really?” Chen Meng’er was still not confident.
“Really. Because she is the child that everyone is looking forward to coming to this world,” Yuwen Jing said with certainty.
“It’s like this,” Chen Meng’er said softly.
“So, you can rest a.s.sured and sleep. Don’t let your imagination run wild.” Yuwen Jing reached out and ruffled Chen Meng’er’s hair. Unknowingly, Chen Meng’er’s hair had almost grown to her waist.
Chen Meng’er’s hair was very soft. When he ruffled it, it felt especially good. Therefore, Yuwen Jing liked to ruffle Chen Meng’er’s hair.
After talking to Yuwen Jing, Chen Meng’er had an open mind. Her entire person was suddenly enlightened. Her appet.i.te had also improved a lot. At least, this change in Chen Meng’er had attracted the attention of the three old men.
Last time, the three old men saw that Chen Meng’er was not in good spirits, so they did not dare ask Chen Meng’er themselves. They called Yuwen Jing over, hoping to get some good news from him.
However, it was a pity that they did not hear the good news that they wanted to hear.
This time, the three old men were extremely nervous. They were holding onto too much hope.
“Elder Qu, Marquis Yuwen, when you speak later, be careful. You can’t ask so directly.” Elder Liu was afraid. He didn’t want Chen Meng’er to feel that they were giving her too much pressure.
“Elder Liu, don’t just talk about us. You’re not doing much better yourself.” Elder Qu said. Last time, Elder Liu had asked Yuwen Jing if Meng’er was pregnant. These words had come out of his mouth.
The two of them didn’t say anything.
“That’s right. I think you’re the most impatient of the three of us.” It was rare for Elder Qu and Marquis Yuwen to stand together.
Elder Liu coughed awkwardly.
Speaking of which, he was really anxious about carrying his great-granddaughter. “Let’s be careful, let’s be careful.”
After they got married, Chen Meng’er spent most of her time in the Green Gang. Who asked her to be the little miss of the Green Gang? Everything in the Green Gang, big and small, had to be approved by her.
During lunch, Chen Meng’er felt that the atmosphere today was a little strange. Her three grandfathers were acting so sneakily. It was a little inappropriate to describe it this way, but for a moment, Chen Meng’er really couldn’t find a better adjective.
Chen Meng’er thought that it might be something about the three grandfathers themselves. As a younger person, it wasn’t appropriate for her to interrupt and ask. Therefore, Chen Meng’er focused on eating and pretended that she didn’t notice anything.
In the end, Elder Liu was elected as their representative. He spoke on behalf of the three of them. “Ahem.” Elder Liu cleared his throat and prepared to ask.
However, before he could speak, Chen Meng’er suddenly raised her head and looked at him. She asked, “Grandpa, do you have a cold? Or is your throat uncomfortable? Why don’t I take a look at it after we finish eating?”
Chen Meng’er’s words stunned Elder Liu. What was going on?
Elder Qu and Yuwen Hou saw that Elder Liu hadn’t even opened his mouth when he was shut down. This made them, who had always suffered under Elder Liu’s hands, speechless. They covered their mouths and snickered.
How could the sneering expressions of Elder Qu and Marquis Yuwen escape the gaze of Elder Liu? Elder Liu glared at Elder Qu and Marquis Yuwen with warning.
Elder Qu and Marquis Yuwen understood the meaning behind Elder Liu’s eyes. The two of them stopped smiling and shut their mouths in unison.
“Grandpa.” Chen Meng’er felt that there was something wrong with these three old men today.
“Yes?” Elder Liu retracted his gaze. “Oh, I didn’t catch a cold, nor does my throat feel uncomfortable. I was just clearing my throat.” Elder Liu finished explaining. They were ready to get to the main topic. “Meng’er, How’s your health recently? Did you feel anything strange?”
“What do you mean?” Chen Meng’er put down her chopsticks and looked up at Elder Liu. She looked at the other two old men, Elder Qu and Yuwen Hou, who were staring at her with wide eyes and hope.
“Oh, you know,” Yuwen Hou answered on Elder Liu’s behalf.
Chen Meng’er was not a fool. Moreover, two days ago, these three old men had even prepared food with added ingredients for Yuwen Jing. How could she not understand?
Chen Meng’er stopped eating. She leaned back on the chair and looked at the three old men with a smile.
“Grandpas, aren’t you a little too impatient?” Chen Meng’er did not answer them but changed the question.
“No.” The three old men shook their heads in unison.
“I’m still young. It’s a little too early to have a child,” Chen Meng’er said slowly.
“It’s not early. It’s not early at all.”
“Yes, your grandmother was quite young when she gave birth to your uncle. She was much younger than you.”
“Moreover, from a medical point of view, giving birth to a child now is the most suitable for you to recover. Moreover, you can take advantage of your youth to give birth to a few more children. After all, we have so many people to take care of children. If you give birth to fewer children, it won’t be enough for us to share.”
“Yes, yes.” Elder Qu and Marquis Yuwen agreed with Elder Liu’s words. The two of them nodded in unison.
“But.”
“No buts.”
“No buts.” Chen Meng’er had just started speaking when she was interrupted by the three old men.
“Can you all listen to what I have to say? Don’t be anxious. We will treat this matter as usual and let nature take its course. Is that alright?” Chen Meng’er looked at the three old men, waiting for their reply.
The three old men exchanged glances and nodded.
However, it was unknown if they could really agree.
