Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and Zeng Minsheng's twins have reached their one-month milestone.

Zeng Min ate well, slept well, and was in a good mood every day. After her postpartum period, her skin was still supple and she didn't look haggard or ugly at all because of childbirth.

She has become a bit fuller, like a ripe cherry, as if the juice would burst out if you pinched it, and she exudes the charm of a mature woman.

Zeng's mother also wanted to go home.

Zeng Min saw her mother packing her things and felt very reluctant to leave, so she said, "Mother, your children are all in the county town, so why don't you come home? Let my eldest brother go and bring Dad over, so we can all live in the county town and not be separated."

Mother Zeng: "That won't do. Everything costs money in the county town, and we can't afford it. We still have food at home, so we can save some money."

Zeng Min was helpless. She had said these words to her several times, but it still didn't work. So she gave up and decided to give up.

In the evening, Zeng Min and her mother prepared a table of delicious dishes, intending to have a meal together as a family.

It's just like celebrating the baby's one-month birthday. Since neither Zeng Min nor Tu Mingcheng's children are their first, even if they feel sorry for the baby, they won't hold a big celebration.

Today I made stewed bamboo shoots and chicken, braised pork trotters with soybeans, garlic ribs, stir-fried eggplant, potatoes, and green peppers, stir-fried eggs with pickled eggplant, pickled fish, stir-fried cured pork with houttuynia cordata, and boiled vegetable shoots.

Tu Mingcheng was about to go home before the end of the workday. His colleagues saw him and asked, "Mingcheng, you left before leaving get off work today?"

Tu Mingcheng: "Yes, today is the one-month celebration for my twins. I told the captain I was going home early."

"Ah! Your baby is already a month old! I only heard that your wife gave birth to twins, but I didn't even know it was a month old, or if it was a boy or a girl?"

Tu Mingcheng exclaimed with delight, "They are twin boys!"

Seemingly finding it a bit dry, she added, "Chubby and cute, very endearing."

Seeing him like this, his colleague teased, "I've never seen you praise your child before. You had two sons before, and you didn't talk about them much then either. Your young wife's child is definitely different."

Another person chimed in, "How can they be the same? The first one was from an arranged marriage, while the second one was born to a woman he loved. Men, you know, everyone's biased. They'll definitely only like the child born to the woman they love."

Once the topic of interest came up, the people around him went off to discuss it amongst themselves, without waiting for Tu Mingcheng's reply, or rather, without paying attention to what he was saying.

Seeing this, Tu Mingcheng quietly left.

Just as he stepped out of the factory gate, he encountered Luo Qicai and his wife, along with Wu Xinxin. The three of them greeted him.

Wu Xinxin quickly said, "Perfect timing, Mingcheng. We heard your wife gave birth, so we wanted to visit her. After all, we're from the same village. All past grievances are in the past. Now that we're out here, we should look after each other. Of course, we'll also visit the baby."

Luo Qicai gets excited whenever the topic of children comes up. He and Jiang Fengqin have been married for two years but still don't have children. They've tried everything, but she still hasn't gotten pregnant. No one suspects that it's Luo Qicai's fault, since Zeng Min has given birth before.

Therefore, Luo Qicai has frequently visited An Lin at the school in the past two years, hoping to cultivate a stronger father-son relationship with him.

Actually, Luo Qicai's wife wasn't pregnant; it was Zeng Min who got her pregnant. When she first arrived in the county town, Luo Qicai went to visit Anlin at Anlin School.

Zeng Min thought of the suffering An Lin had endured in his previous life because he had ignored him, so when he came to see An Lin again, he took advantage of An Lin's inattention and gave him a large amount of gossypol tablets.

I've been taking it for six months now, so I definitely can't get pregnant now.

Anlin's suffering in his past life can be repaid by his infertility!

As for Wu Xinxin, let her go up wherever she wants. Once she's collected enough from her house, steal all her collection.

Tu Mingcheng admired Wu Xinxin's thick skin. "You may not mind, but I do. Do you think I'm the kind of person who would let his wife's ex-husband meet his wife?"

So he said, "If you want to see the child, go to the school tomorrow! It's not convenient at home right now."

Jiang Fengqin: "..." Actually, she didn't want to see the child.

Wu Xinxin felt a pang of sadness: "...What's inconvenient about it? Surely Zeng Min wouldn't mind?"

Tu Mingcheng: "You don't mind, but I do. What are you thinking with our relationship? Isn't it chaotic enough? Why do you have to get involved with us?"

Hearing his shameless words, Wu Xinxin was furious: "Since you know our relationship is messy, why did you still get married? If you're going to marry, why did you choose Zeng Min? Can't you marry other women?"

Tu Mingcheng: "What do you think? If it weren't for Zeng Min, why would I get married? What kind of marriage would I get?"

"What's so great about Zeng Min that you're so fixated on her? There are plenty of beautiful women out there, and you all know she's from the same village. Why get involved with her?"

“Even if it weren’t for Zeng Min, I wouldn’t pay attention to other women. If you miss your child, go to the school to see him, don’t come to my house, I don’t welcome you.”

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Jiang Fengqin said timidly, "...maybe we shouldn't go today."

"It's not small, I'll go today, let's go." With that, he rode off on his old-fashioned bicycle.

Luo Qicai didn't necessarily have to go; he would wait for An Lin at the school gate whenever he had time, so he wasn't in a hurry.

But seeing that his cousin had gone, he couldn't hold her back, so he could only follow along.

Tu Mingcheng ignored them and went to the cafeteria to see what good dishes were available. If there were any, he would take them home. Today was his baby's one-month celebration, and his mother-in-law must have cooked for him. But seeing that there were three more people, he could only go and get more to take home.

When Tu Mingcheng returned home, everyone who was supposed to come back had already returned.

Zeng Min was quite surprised to see the three uninvited guests at her home. Although they all lived in the county town, they didn't see each other often, and when they did, it was usually when they were out of town. They rarely visited each other's homes.

Since they've come all this way, you can't just kick them out. So you bring each of them a cup of warm water with a spiked substance. There's not much medicine left, but you can use it to get one of them to go. Anyway, it's colorless and tasteless.

Jiang Fengqin looked at Zeng Min with great jealousy. She had thought that Zeng Min would fall into poverty after her divorce and become a emaciated village woman.

Who knew she'd hook up with someone even more successful? Thinking of this, she glanced at Wu Xinxin and cursed him inwardly for being useless, unable to even hold onto his own man, yet he had the nerve to scold her.

Tu Guoqing is in the first year of junior high school. After school, he goes to pick up his two younger brothers. When the three brothers enter the house, they see their mother and call out to her.

Over the past six months, he hasn't spent much time with his mother, and their relationship isn't as good as before. After all, his mother didn't take care of them much in the past; she was always busy building relationships and making connections.

Actually, he felt things were pretty good now. Although his stepmother bossed them around, she didn't mistreat them. They had everything An Lin had, and they ate the same things her biological son ate.

Although her great-grandmother would favor Anlin and secretly give him the best food behind their backs, Anlin would share it with the two brothers.

So they didn't have any ill feelings towards their great-grandmother, since she helped them with a lot of housework after she came to live with them.

When Anlin and Guozhu returned, they went to see their two younger brothers.

Looking at my little brother in the swaddle, he was a bit small because we were twins. His eyes weren't fully open yet, and his little face was still red, but he looked incredibly cute.

Tu Guozhu: "My little brother is so cute, all pink and soft."

An Lin said smugly, "Grandma said that I haven't fully grown yet. I'll definitely be very beautiful when I do. My mom and dad are both good-looking, you can see that from me. I'm better looking than both of you."

Tu Guozhu glanced at him but didn't say anything. He was indeed better looking than them. They looked a bit like his mother, who was just plain plain-looking but knew how to dress up.

So their appearance is a bit disappointing, since they don't resemble their father much.
