"what?"

Zhong Ruyi's eyes widened in shock, "Mrs. Fang's elder brother actually did such a thing?"

Jiang Qin nodded and told the gossip he had heard in the morning in detail.

At this time, there was not only Zhong Ruyi surrounding him, but also several aunts who did not have to work were gathered together waiting for him to say next.

"Well, then this was done by Madam Fang's brother. Why did they divorce Madam Fang? Isn't this a bit of venting their anger on others?" asked an aunt.

"Yes, this Master Fang is too ruthless!"

Jiang Qin said, "I heard two versions. Which one do you want to listen to?"

The aunts complained, "You are so young, but you always keep people in suspense! If there are two, you should tell us two. If there are three, you should tell us all three! If you tell us one, will you not tell us the other one?"

"That's right! You are such an ignorant kid!"

"Xiao Qin, please tell me now! I still have to go wash clothes. If you don't tell me now, it will be too late!"

Jiang Qin spilled out all the gossip he had heard under the siege of the aunts, "Yes, it was Madam Fang's brother who stole some things from the Fang family and sold them. He was caught by Master Fang on the spot. I heard this is not the first time."

"Some people also said that Madam Fang's brother was cheating on her! The person he cheated on was Master Fang's new concubine, so Master Fang got so angry that he beat Madam Fang's brother and kicked him out, and even wanted to divorce Madam Fang."

"what?"

The aunts exclaimed, and Zhong Ruyi was also stunned. Is this true? Do rich people play like this?

Jiang Qin was a little embarrassed. "I just heard this. It may not be true."

But his belated explanation was drowned out by the loud voices of the aunts:

"I said it! Those rich masters are all like this! They are in their seventies and eighties and still want to marry concubines! Now look what happened, they are being cuckolded!"

"I still don't believe it. He divorced his wife just because of this? That's impossible, right? There must be more hidden secrets!"

"Xiao Qin! How about this? Go and ask around. Make sure you find out everything. Auntie lives on these gossips while she's at work!"

A group of people were chatting and joking, and they urged Jiang Qin to find out some gossip in the town and tell them when he had time.

It saves you from being bored while working in the workshop. All you talk about are trivial things, which makes you tired of listening to them.

Jiang Qin couldn't handle these aunts, so he turned around and ran away.

Chen Dongzhi and Zhong Laosan went up the mountain to collect honey early in the morning and filled two jars with the honey.

"You should keep the big one. Ruyi said that it's good for pregnant women to drink more honey water."

Zhong Laosan patted him on the shoulder and said thank you.

When Chen Dongzhi was carrying the small jar of honey back home, his mother and wife were sitting in the yard. Xiaoxue was standing aside, looking a little embarrassed and wanted to say something. The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Finally, her elder brother came back. Xiaoxue quickly gave him a look for help and motioned him to come over.

Chen Dongzhi didn't understand what was going on, but seeing that both the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law looked unhappy, he walked over with the honey and asked what was wrong.

Zhong Ruyi forced a smile and asked him if he was hungry. Without waiting for an answer, she stood up and went to the kitchen.

"Dongzhi, come home for dinner tonight. Mom has something to tell you." Chen's mother also stood up and told the two to go home in the evening before leaving the yard and going back.

Seeing that both of them looked unhappy, Chen Dongzhi stopped his sister who was about to leave with her mother and asked, "What did mother say to your sister-in-law before I came back just now?"

Xiaoxue glanced at the kitchen and said in a low voice, "Mom came to my sister-in-law and told you not to go to the escort agency anymore. You should stay at home to farm and raise rabbits. You can also help my sister-in-law with some work in the workshop. Otherwise, you will be away for ten days or half a month, and my sister-in-law will be alone all the time, so it's not easy to do anything."

"What's wrong with that?" Chen Dongzhi asked in a calm voice.

As an unmarried girl, it would be embarrassing for her to talk about these things. But if she didn't, her sister-in-law and mother would be unhappy about this kind of thing, and her brother would be caught in the middle and didn't know what was going on.

Xiaoxue covered her mouth with her hand and whispered in his ear, "Mom said that we should give birth to children as early as possible. Now she can still move, so if sister-in-law gives birth earlier, she can help take care of the baby."

The original words were actually more direct. The gist was that you two don't see each other more than a few times a month, so how can you get pregnant? Why not let her brother quit his job at the escort agency and stay in the village? The two of you can be together all day and you can always get pregnant.

As for how Chen's mother suddenly thought of urging the two to have a baby, it was because Lu Shengnan was pregnant some time ago.

In the past, when they lived together as a family, someone would watch them if they ate a few more mouthfuls of porridge, they couldn’t sleep well, and the couple couldn’t even be intimate with each other.

Now that we have finally moved out, we can be as intimate as we want without having to worry about anyone seeing us. And it's only been a short time since we moved out that we got this.

Although Chen Dongzhi and Zhong Ruyi live separately in a big house, the husband is always busy outside, leaving the wife alone in the empty house. When will she be able to hold her grandson?

Mother Chen was a little anxious. She had hinted at this once before. She had finally waited for her son to come back from abroad, so this matter had to be implemented as soon as possible.

"Sister-in-law said that whether you go escorting or go hunting in the mountains, it's your own idea. You can do whatever you want. She won't stop you or say anything. Everything is up to you as long as you are happy."

Xiaoxue thinks her sister-in-law’s idea is very good. She would be very happy if her future partner could respect her thoughts and behaviors in this way and not interfere too much.

But my mother didn't think so. She wanted to have a grandson right now and would rather let my brother quit such a good job in the escort agency so that she could give birth to a grandson.

I had tried my best to persuade my mother in vain that day, and I thought she really listened to me. But today, when I said I wanted to come over and chat with my sister-in-law, she was unhappy as soon as I said it.

"Brother, I'm going to go back first. You should comfort my sister-in-law and tell her not to take what my mother just said to heart."

After Xiaoxue left, Chen Dongzhi carried the jar of honey into the kitchen.

Zhong Ruyi sat in front of the stove and stuffed firewood into it one by one. Even when someone came in, he didn't react at all, and didn't even turn his head to take a look.

She gently placed the can in her hand on the cabinet. Chen Dongzhi's smiling voice sounded from behind her, "Didn't you say yesterday that you would kill a chicken for me to replenish my body? Shall I go and kill it now?"

Without mentioning what Chen's mother had just said, Chen Dongzhi didn't take it to heart at all. In his opinion, having a child or not was a trivial matter. He married her because he liked her and loved her, not because of whether she could have children or not.

"Mom just told you not to go out as a escort and just stay at home. What do you think about this?" Zhong Ruyi did not intend to hide it and directly recounted the conversation she had just had with Chen's mother.

"The old man wants to have a grandson, why don't you..."

Before she could finish her words, she was hugged by the man.

Chen Dongzhi said in a muffled voice, "If mother wants to have a grandson, then she can wait until Xiaoxue and Xiaoman get married. She can have her grandson however she wants. Besides, mother is still young, so there is no need to rush to have a grandson."

"I'm not going to spend my whole life with my child, you are my wife."
