Chapter 603

Fang Xiu fell silent for a moment after hearing Qin Xue’s words, then nodded: “Qin Xue, I’ll listen to you. I’ve decided to keep this child. No matter what, I will give birth to her. No matter how difficult it is, I’ll take good care of Taotao and this child.”

After Fang Xiu had made up her mind, she realized Qin Xue was right. Why should she let others determine the fate of her child? She had already given birth to Taotao in the past two years and raised him well without their help.

Worst case, if she couldn’t handle it anymore, she would just part ways with Jing Xin.

After all, she had skills, and she could rely on Qin Xue for food, not necessarily Jing Xin.

In the end, she was raising her child and supporting herself with her own hands.

“That’s good. Children are gifts from heaven. We must cherish them. Many people want them but can’t have them.” Qin Xue, pleased, patted Fang Xiu’s shoulder. Her efforts in persuading Fang Xiu hadn’t been wasted.

“Qin Xue, actually, I’m not willing to give up this child either. It’s just that her arrival was too sudden and unexpected.”

“That day, I thought the heavens were playing tricks on me, wave after wave of unfair situations, so exhausting.”

“Who would have thought that, by such chance, Jing Xin would return and hear everything? There wasn’t even time for me to react, how could anyone not be stunned?” Fang Xiu hadn’t had a chance to talk properly with her husband in several days.

“Hmm, women think of a lot of things, so men don’t understand these matters. Men and women think differently, and if you don’t communicate in time, the conflict will get worse.” Qin Xue knew that no matter what, open discussion was the only way to solve problems.

“I think so too. Anyway, I’ve already decided to keep the child. As for future matters, we’ll deal with them later.” Fang Xiu looked at Qin Xue after packing away clothes and said this.

“Mhm, if you encounter any difficulties, just tell me. I’ll definitely help if I can.” Qin Xue smiled.

“Okay, thank you in advance. Thanks for your support and encouragement all this time. Having you as a friend in this life is my good fortune.” Fang Xiu laughed, showing her first genuine smile in a long time.

Qin Xue obtained the information she wanted from Fang Xiu, then took some cloth back to her younger brother. She was afraid that the children might wake up and cry.

“Yu Ze, I’m your uncle, remember? Don’t forget to recognize me when you go to the Imperial Capital, or else I’ll spank your little bottom, you hear?” Just as Qin Xue approached the door, she saw her younger brother Qin Yu holding Yu Ze and talking to himself.

Meanwhile, Miao Qingqing was holding Yu Chen, playing and teasing him. The two adults must have thought the child, barely over a month old, could understand them. Qin Xue was very skeptical of this.

“Sis, you’re back.” Qin Yu asked when he saw his sister come in.

“Yeah, I’m back. Do you think your nephew is a genius? Understanding your words at that age.” Qin Xue shook her head and smiled.

“Maybe if I talk to him more, he’ll remember.” Qin Yu, without lifting his head, replied with a grin while looking at his nephew.

“That’s impossible. Have you ever heard of the saying about how children recognize people? It goes: at one month, a child only cries; at two months, they learn to smile; at three months, they recognize their mother’s scent and image;

By four months, they laugh out loud when teased, and it’s especially cute… ” Qin Xue gave a lesson on child cognition to her brother.

“There’s so much to it, raising a child is really not easy.” After hearing his sister’s words, Qin Yu sighed.

“Exactly, there’s a lot to learn. And there’s also a lot more you have to pay attention to. That’s why it’s not easy for parents to raise us.” Qin Xue also deeply understood the difficulties of being a parent after becoming a mother herself.
