"Mom, Dad likes it this way, so we'll let him go. It's pretty good. The air in the countryside is good, and Dad's body is very strong and healthy. He can't sit still while he's at home drinking tea and reading newspapers."
"There are not many people in the house, so all of them are running out. If you're not here, your dad will also be out, leaving your grandma and me behind. Do you guys have any shame?"
Ling Qiao finally understood what his mother meant, "Alright, then let's go home and stay for a few more days. Is that enough?"
Hu Xin's eyes lit up. 'How rare, ever since Ling Qiao moved out, he rarely returned home, and I don't know where this house stopped him. If I tell him to come back for dinner, then he will just go home and not stay for a moment longer. Right now, getting married was indeed different. With her smile and temper restrained, she was still willing to stay at home for a few more days. It seemed that the Liu family's girl really had some skills.
Grandma Ling who was at the side drummed up, "Ling Qiao, just move back. There's everything at home, what's good outside? In the future when you have children, your families will be able to take care of you. "
Ling Qiao felt a little awkward and forced a smile, "Grandmother, we'll talk about it when we have a child."
In the Ling family, there was no place for her to speak. Although her grandmother doted on her, her mother-in-law did not like her, and she was not a person who was good at making people happy. If she did not like her, then so be it.
When it came to having children, she did not want to give birth. Firstly, her work was not allowed, and secondly, how could she explain it to her mother?! Most importantly, did the Ling family mind having an illegitimate daughter as a daughter-in-law? If this matter were to be exposed, would the Ling family kick her out? Needless to say, Hu Xin was definitely the first to pick up the broom.
She was so lost in thought that she didn't even hear Ling Qiao call her.
"Liu Shu!" Ling Qiao pushed her, still calling her full name.
"Ah?" Call me? "
"What are you thinking? You didn't even react?"
"Nothing."
"Grandma asks what you want to eat tomorrow so she can get the servants to prepare it."
"Fried chicken leg!" She didn't even think about blurting it out.
Grandma Ling said, "Pregnant people can't eat fried food. How about this, we'll make some potatoes to stew chicken legs, okay?"
"Oh, okay. Thank you grandma. Actually, I love to eat everything."
Ling Qiao thought to himself, it would be weird if he loved to eat everything. He clearly didn't like eating carrots, but when he saw that they were used as seasonings, he would specially pick out the carrots.
After finishing their meal, Shu Shu pulled Ling Qiao back to their room. Seeing the pair of eyes glued together, Granny Ling could not help but feel happy.
"What's wrong, wife? You're in such a hurry to test if your husband is really healed?"
"What are you talking about? Ling Qiao, didn't you promise me a year of free work?"
"Yeah."
"Then you can't let me give birth to a child this year, right?!"
"I didn't agree to that." So it turns out that Lil Thing didn't want to have children.
Shu Shu pulled Ling Qiao along, with a pleading look in his eyes, he said, "Ling Qiao, I just graduated from work, I don't want to give birth to a child. In two years, when I'm 25 years old, will you be okay?" Give her a little more time to make her mother better, so that she can tell her mother about the marriage, and if he can, tell Ling Qiao about the illegitimate child, and he will accept it, then she will be at ease, he will not accept it, and that will be her fate.
Why two years?" Twenty-three isn't a small age, but I'm thirty on New Year's. I think I have a child. " He really didn't understand her. Did he need her to show her face and work for a family like his? She wanted to work, she wanted to prove herself, well, he would let her work, but there was no room for negotiation about having children, having been married for two years without children, not knowing what the reporters would say, and he really didn't want to be laughed at for being a man.
Shu Shu frowned. Ling Qiao wanted to have children, and his grandmother longed to carry his great-grandson. However, she really had many difficulties.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door, saying that the madame had asked her to bring the red gum and red dates Black Chicken Soup to nourish Young Mistress's body.
Shu Shu immediately understood. Grandmother had spent all her efforts to have both of them have children as soon as possible, so Ling Qiao was definitely given medicine that was beneficial to a man.
Seeing Shu Shu hesitate, Ling Qiao took the bowl of soup and said, "Just leave it there. Young Mistress still doesn't have enough to drink right now. We'll drink again after it's cold."
The servant nodded and left.
"Drink it. Drinking it doesn't necessarily make you pregnant. It will mend your body."
She felt wronged. Everyone was looking forward to this. She said no, just like how she had let down everyone.
Ling Qiao did not understand. What difficulties did she have to take into account? What's the difference between being twenty-three and being twenty-five? Was that television station job really that good? Looking at her wronged expression, why did it seem like he made her drink poison?
He put the bowl on the table, and then walked over, "Do you like it or not? It's fine if you pour it, but no one will see you pour it." With that, he turned around and turned on the computer.
This was great! She had angered him. Shu Shu regretted it a little. There were many methods of contraception. She could take medicine. It was fine as long as she didn't say anything. Anyway, it was fine as long as she wasn't pregnant. "Previously, she had looked it up on the internet. There was a small pill that she took every day, but it didn't hurt as much as an afterthought.
"Ling Qiao, don't be angry, I'll drink it. I know how granny is feeling, I'm just discussing with you. If you don't agree, then we'll give birth, I didn't say that I definitely won't." She took a step back. She liked it when a person became humble. How could she ever compromise before? She decided to stick it out until the end, but now, when he insisted, she had to compromise.
She finished the asparagus soup, which was sweet and tasty, unlike the strange taste of his bowl. When she finished, she saw that he was reading a web page, so she took the bowl back to the kitchen.
"Yonghua, my son and daughter-in-law came back today and stayed at home to prepare in the afternoon, so don't blame me for not going to your place." It was Hu Xin. She seemed to be talking to her sister.
ShuShu was washing the dishes by herself.
"Yonghua, my son and daughter-in-law came back today and stayed at home to prepare in the afternoon, so don't blame me for not going to your place." It was Hu Xin. She seemed to be talking to her sister.
ShuShu was washing the dishes by herself.
"Sigh, I'm not saying. That daughter-in-law of mine really can't compare to your family, she can't even compare to your toes."
Shu Shu was stunned. Her mother-in-law was complaining to others about her wrongdoings.
"Yonghua, you said that if we had settled this matter between the two children at that time, it wouldn't have ended up like this right now, right? These two children were fine, why did they suddenly split up? "Ai, my heart hurts."
She turned off the tap and used a dry cloth to wipe the bowl. Her mother-in-law was talking about Tang and Qing, right? So the relationship between the two families was not bad.
"Alright, that's it. I'll come back to your place another time when I'm free." After Hu Xin finished speaking, she walked through the kitchen and saw Shu Shu washing the dishes. She shouted, "Sister-in-law Li, Sister-in-law Li, why did you let Eldest Young Madam wash the dishes? How do you do it? Was washing dishes something that Eldest Young Mistress did? If word of this gets out, and our Ling Family's eldest young mistress still has to wash the dishes herself, then where will our Ling Family's reputation go to?! "
Shu Shu knew that Hu Xin was referring to someone who scolded her. She put her bowl on the stage, as she didn't want to make things difficult for the servants, "Mom, I'll be going upstairs first."
"Shu Shu …" Hu Xin called out to her, and said in a gentle tone, "Go back and tell your mother, don't ask about Ling Qiao's matters. Your father is the same, don't take the Ling family for your own, your company still depends on yourself."
"I understand. Is there anything else? "If there's nothing else, I'll be going up." ShuShu really didn't have any temper left. She had unknowingly retracted all of her sharp claws from before. Arguing with Hu Xin, wasn't Ling Qiao the one who was troubled?
"Go up and take good care of Ling Qiao. He is the one who shouldered such a large group. Let him sleep early. Women do not know how tired men are."
Shu Shu couldn't hear what Hu Xin was saying anymore. She quickly ran up to the second floor. She knew that her mother-in-law had always disliked her, but her mother-in-law had always liked Tang and Qing, and the two families were friends throughout their lives. Today, she knew this as well.
She must have really liked Ling Qiao to think that this was a thorn, as she did her best to remind herself that she could not be tempted by this young master. Actually, he also liked her. She could feel it, but it didn't mean she loved him. She was his wife, there was no reason not to like her. She was a woman, he was a man, there was no reason not to like her.
Back in his room, Ling Qiao had just come out of the washroom. He was still a little angry, so he went straight to the bed.
After a simple wash, Shu Shu also went to bed.
The two of them slept with their backs to each other. The thorn in Shu Shu's heart made her heart ache. Ling Qiao and her were like this, what could they be considered to be? Because of a contract from a few decades ago, because of Grandma's insistence, because of Liu Ziye's company failure, because of Mother's operating expenses, they got married.
There were so many reasons for getting married, and without them, they wouldn't have gotten married.
Ling Qiao angrily turned off the light. Wasn't tonight supposed to be like this? Wasn't three months just for the sake of today? They couldn't agree on whether to have children or not, but if she was pregnant, would she have had the heart to do it? If he was pregnant with her, he would be safe.
However, both of them were stubborn, and neither of them wanted to take that step first.
The next morning, Ling Qiao left for work right after breakfast with a sullen look on his face. He left one step at a time while Shu Shu also left the other, saying that he wanted to catch the subway.
Ling Wang was puzzled, "Hey, I say, this couple was fine yesterday, why did they change so much today?"
Hu Xin gloated, "Mom, we don't know anything about youngsters. Let them go."
When Shu Shu rushed out, Ling Qiao's car was already gone. Alright, she would really catch the subway, since it would only cost two yuan, it would be fine anywhere. Furthermore, the subway station was also very close to the television station, so it would be very convenient for them to walk.
Ling Qiao drove the car out of the main entrance and stopped at the intersection, waiting for her. He was thinking that if she wanted to go to work, he would definitely meet his own car. Unexpectedly, when ShuShu walked out of the door, he actually walked towards the other side without even looking. The subway stood on that side. He turned from anger to chagrin, hit the steering wheel hard, and drove away.
The Cold War had caused quite a ruckus.
Just as she arrived at the television station, she saw a few people surrounding the exit of the car park. ShuShu saw her good friend Shen Xiaoxuan inside and quickly ran over.
It turned out that Little Xuan had offended a popular singer, Wang Ning.
Back then, when this film was released, this Wang Ning had also spread some rumors with Ling Qiao, and Little Xuan's fame was behind Wang Ning's, but just like Wang Ning, he was also relying on Ling Qiao. They were both popular singers, with similar popularity and endorsements. When they met, their eyes would naturally turn red.
The two of them had a dispute over the same parking spot. Two cars were in front of each other. Little Xuan's car was already properly parked on the line, and Wang Ning's car was also on the line, but she refused to let it go.
