Fast-forward to the era of cannon fodder

Chapter 1618: In-laws' Conspiracy 30

Sitting at this table are the women of the Lu family.

When everyone heard Yuanchun say this, it seemed to make sense, but they also felt that if a woman didn't give birth to children, could she still be called a woman?

Besides, if a home has no children, isn’t it still a home?

Everyone disagreed with Yuanchun's idea and everyone persuaded her to have a baby.

Yuanchun smiled and said, "Don't have children. My husband and I can live in a peaceful world of our own. I don't like the noise of children."

Everyone was speechless and looked at Zheng Qiu who was sitting at another table with sympathy.

If he marries a woman who doesn't want to have children, the Zheng family will be extinct. The people in the Zheng family are also confused. They actually agreed with Lu Yuanchun's unorthodox idea that deserves to be struck by lightning.

Someone's eyes flickered as he asked tentatively, "Yuanchun, you can't be infertile and that's why you deliberately said you don't want to have children. Isn't it because we women get married to have children? If you marry without having children, wouldn't that mean your husband's family will be extinct?"

"Sister-in-law, in order to avoid regretting it later, you have to give birth to a child. It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl, as long as you have a child."

"Yes, without children, the house is cold and lonely, not lively at all."

Yuanchun curled her lips, looking disgusted with the child, "Forget it, I hate naughty children the most. With children, the house will never be clean and tidy. Hey, I took care of several nephews before, so forget it. I am afraid of children."

Before the original owner got married, whenever she returned home, she would help her sister-in-law with housework and take care of the children.

The two children of the eldest brother were very naughty and always made a mess at home. The original owner was a girl who loved tidiness and cleanliness, and she often followed her nephew to clean up.

Sometimes, her nephew would deliberately mess up and dirty things and ask her to clean them up.

Mrs. Lu looked unhappy, but she didn't know what to say.

After all, she knew what kind of person her eldest son was. She had seen him do bad things to his sister-in-law countless times, making her so angry that she stamped her feet, but she didn't dare to hit or scold him.

And she also stopped her eldest son from doing anything.

Alas, I never expected that the eldest son’s mischief would make my sister-in-law hate children and even not want to have children because of this.

The Zheng family wouldn't blame the sister-in-law's inability to have children on her eldest son, right?

Mrs. Lu glanced sideways at Zheng Qiu, then at her eldest son, and saw that he was standing on a stool and snatching food from her second aunt's youngest son.

Her eldest son scolded her second aunt's youngest son as an unwanted child.

The second aunt's youngest son retracted his chopsticks with tears in his eyes.

Mrs. Lu quickly turned her head and pretended not to see this scene.

Aunt Lu was also at the table. She mentioned her sister, "I don't know how Manqin and her husband are doing in the south. I heard from the Ma family that they haven't written to us for several months."

"Hasn't found a job yet?" Mrs. Lu guessed.

Aunt Lu paused with her chopsticks, "That's impossible. It would cost a lot of money to have food and lodging for several months. That Ma Po is reluctant to give so much money to Manqin."

"Nothing will happen, right?" Mrs. Lu said, and quickly and accurately picked up a piece of braised pork with her chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth.

Aunt Lu frowned, with some worry in her eyes, "I'll go to the Ma family and ask some other day."

"Ask Yunpeng first. If my second aunt and uncle find a job, they will definitely tell Yunpeng as soon as possible."

Ma Yunpeng is Lu Manqin's eldest son. He was in the second year of high school, but he dropped out of school after his parents no longer supported him and went to work in a factory.

It was because of Ma Yunpeng's salary that Mrs. Ma kept her four grandchildren at home, otherwise she would have kicked them out long ago.

Lu Manqin's second child graduated from junior high school this year and has also dropped out of school. Because he is young and can't find a job, he picks up waste to earn some money to support his younger siblings' education.
