Jiang Guo was completely bewildered.

Then she looked at Jiang Bei in surprise.

Finally, she shouted gleefully, "Mom—my brother's following in my sister's footsteps; he's dating a girl!!"

Jiang Bei: "..."

So, Jiang Guo should still honor his four cents, right?

"Mom! Mom! Mom!" Jiang Guo, forgetting that she had been eavesdropping on her sister and brother-in-law, excitedly skipped towards the kitchen, "My brother and sister are dating!!!"

Jiang Bei didn't care that his sister misunderstood him as having a girlfriend, since he wasn't having one anyway.

He who clears himself will clear himself.

But he cared about the four cents that Jiang Guo had promised him.

Jiang Bei, no longer caring about eavesdropping, hurriedly chased after him: "Guozi, where's the four cents you promised me?"

Jiang Guo ignored him and continued shouting, "Mom! My brother is dating someone just like my sister!"

The noise in the courtyard directly affected Jiang Zao and Lu Yanxun's performance.

The two of them stopped arguing and listened indifferently to the chattering conversation outside.

Jiang Zao couldn't help but complain about her younger brother and sister in her heart.

When these two are eavesdropping, can't they just listen without saying anything?

Why are you speaking so loudly? Do you think she and Lu Yanxun are deaf?

If you're talking about her brother dating, just say it as her brother dating.

Why bring her up?

She even kept urging Jiang Bei to learn from her how to date...

Jiang Zao knew the original owner's memories better than anyone else.

The original owner had never been in a relationship.

The only one I ever had was Lu Yanxun.

To be precise, the original owner and Lu Yanxun never dated.

Well, she wanted to date someone first, but the other person didn't agree.

However, the original owner was ruthless enough; unable to find a partner, she resorted to violence... ultimately resulting in two deaths.

Jiang Zao looked unhappy because of her sister's words.

Lu Yanxun thought Jiang Zao was angry with him.

He calmed down for a moment, and when he spoke again, his tone was much gentler, "I don't want to argue with you, and please don't be angry. Let's not argue, okay?"

Jiang Zao isn't such an unreasonable person.

Lu Yanxun's attitude improved, and her attitude became less sharp.

"I never intended to argue with you," Jiang Zao hummed silently. "I just wanted to stay at my parents' house for a few more days, that's all."

“Okay, how many days do you want to stay? At least give me a timeframe.” Lu Yanxun paused and then said, “But you know your current situation, and I hope you won’t be willful. If something happens that can’t be handled in time, it will not only hurt the child, but also you.”

Jiang Zao really wanted to refute Lu Yanxun, but considering his good attitude when he spoke, she didn't argue with him.

She thought about Lu Yanxun's words carefully and felt that what he said made sense.

Now is indeed a critical moment, and she cannot selfishly stay at her parents' home just because she is attached to the warmth of her family.

The transportation here is inconvenient; if something really happens, she won't even have time to regret it.

Besides, once the baby is safely delivered, she will have plenty of time to spend with her family.

Why insist on such a short time?

"I understand what you mean." Jiang Zao looked down at her stomach and finally relented. "Alright then, I'll go back with you tomorrow."

Lu Yanxun thought Jiang Zao was just saying it out of anger: "I don't necessarily want you to come with me tomorrow. We can discuss it."

Jiang Zao patted her belly and said calmly, "There's no need to discuss it anymore. I'll go back with you tomorrow. You're right. At a time like this, I shouldn't be willful."

"I'll tell my mom I'm leaving tomorrow," Jiang Zao said after touching her belly.

"Are you serious?" Lu Yanxun wasn't sure.

Knowing Jiang Zao as he did, he knew she wouldn't agree so readily.

"Of course it's true, what else?" Jiang Zao rolled her eyes at him angrily. "Do you want me to keep arguing with you about this?"

"I don't want to." Lu Yanxun shook his head. "But if you want to stay one more day, I can stay with you one more day, and we can go back a day later."

"No need, let's do it tomorrow. It's inconvenient for me to do anything with this big belly. My mom also has to take care of me. If I hadn't come today, she would probably be asleep by now."

Jiang Zao felt a little sorry for her mother.

Zhou Meixia happened to be carrying a bowl of poached eggs as she walked to the door.

Hearing what Jiang Zao said, I couldn't help but feel a little sore.

Her daughter, Zao'er, is so considerate; even while pregnant, she still remembers to be considerate of her.

She was truly blind before; she had money but didn't give her own daughter an education, instead going to help that heartless ingrate Zhou Mengmeng!

But it's no use regretting it now; all she can do is treat her jujube better in the future.

I hope to make up for some of the mistakes I made back then.

Zhou Meixia blinked hard, managing to force back her tears.

Then he forced a smile and went into the house.

"Zao'er, Mom cooked you some poached eggs. Eat them while they're hot."

Zhou Meixia walked to the bedside and handed the bowl to Jiang Zao.

Jiang Zao took the bowl and saw six beautiful poached eggs floating in the large bowl.

"Mom, there's too much, I can't finish it." Jiang Zao pushed the bowl back. "Why don't you eat a few first, and I'll eat the rest."

Zhou Meixia shook her head and pushed the bowl back to Jiang Zao, "I've already eaten dinner and I can't eat anymore. Besides, this was cooked for you, how can I eat it? You eat it."

Jiang Zao held the bowl, which was bigger than her head, with a somewhat troubled expression.

Six fried eggs? How could she possibly eat that?

"You must finish eating. There are three of you now, and you need nutrition," Zhou Meixia instructed. "You continue eating, I'm going to boil some bath water."

Zhou Meixia left, leaving Jiang Zao staring blankly at the huge bowl.

She said she really couldn't finish it.

Jiang Zao glanced at Lu Yanxun, and Lu Yanxun looked back at her.

"I can't finish it," Jiang Zao said, holding up her bowl.

"I'm done eating," Lu Yanxun replied.

"If you can't finish it, you'll get bloated and your stomach will feel uncomfortable," Jiang Zao added.

Lu Yanxun paused for a moment and then said, "Eat as much as you can."

"But my mom told me to finish it, otherwise she'll worry about me if I don't," Jiang Zao said, troubled.

He held the bowl without touching it.

Seeing that she wasn't eating, Lu Yanxun said, "You eat first, and we'll talk about it later if you can't finish."

"I definitely can't finish it." Jiang Zao looked troubled. "It's not that I can't finish it, it's just a waste."

Eggs are a good thing these days.

Jiang Zao quickly came up with a solution: "Call my younger brother and sister over and have them each help me with two of them."

Jiang Guo, who had come to eavesdrop again, craned her neck under the window and shouted, "Don't bother calling me, I'm not eating! I'm so full tonight, I can't eat anything else!"

Jiang Bei's voice followed immediately: "I'm not eating either, I can't eat anymore!"

"Sis, we don't have any to eat. If you can't finish it, let your brother-in-law help you. We'll keep it a secret." Jiang Guo covered her mouth, her smile almost overflowing from between her fingers.

Jiang Zao sensed the amusement in Jiang Guo's words and said irritably, "He won't eat either!"
