From midnight to noon, from noon to evening.

Mrs Zhang was exhausted, but the child was still not born.

Gu Xin listened to her aunt’s silence and hesitated for a moment. She quietly let Little Fish spit out a jade bead and put it into the water that Gu Hui was going to give Mrs Zhang to drink.

Fifteen minutes later, Mrs Zhang’s child was born.

It was a son. Although he was born prematurely, his cries were quite loud. He was not as listless as the other premature babies.

Lady Zhang looked at Cai Xiaolian proudly and then fell asleep in satisfaction.

Cai Xiaolian: “…”

“Second Daughter-in-Law, come out and eat!” Grandma Gu tidied up the child, wrapped it in swaddling clothes, and put it into Gu Shouli’s arms. Then, she called Cai Xiaolian out to eat with her.

“Um, Mom, does Big Brother know how to take care of the baby?” Cai Xiaolian asked worriedly when she saw Gu Shouli, who was still in a daze.

“He’s already the father of three children. Why can’t he take care of them? Do you want to stay and take care of the baby for your sister-in-law?” Grandma Gu asked in return.

Cai Xiaolian quickly shook her head and went out with Grandma Gu.

It was already so late, and the whole Gu family had already returned.

Gu Nian finally recognized all the members of the Gu family. From her first impression, she liked her grandfather.

After dinner, Grandma Gu called Cai Xiaolian to her room.

“What’s the matter, Mother?” Cai Xiaolian was a little nervous.

In her memory, the cheap mother-in-law was not easy to get along with and was a smart person. If it hadn’t happened so suddenly today, she really didn’t want to come to the old residence.

“Second Brother said that he wanted to continue his studies, and he said that you supported him. Tell me, what do you think?” Grandma Gu went straight to the point.

“I, I support him!” Cai Xiaolian was stunned. She did not understand what the old lady meant.

“How do you support him? How many woks of vegetables do you want to grow to sell? Forcing Gu Nian to do endless embroidery work? Letting Gu Xin take care of everything at home? Gu Nian doesn’t want her eyes anymore? Gu Xin, are you guys just going to let her live without food or clothes? After selling a few pots of vegetables, she can only buy a pen.” Grandma Gu glanced at Cai Xiaolian.

Cai Xiaolian: “…”

“Second Daughter-in-Law, you’ve been married to Second Brother for more than ten years. You’ve been living a muddle-headed life all day. Don’t you have any feelings for yourself and your two daughters?” Grandma Gu softened her tone and asked again.

“Mother, actually, after this incident, her father, Nian Nian, and I have discussed the future of our family. Nian Nian doesn’t plan to do embroidery anymore. It’s really sore to the eyes. We plan to do some small business. Her father is studying, and Xin Xin is at home. Well, she won’t let Xin Xin do everything like before.” Cai Xiaolian still planned to have a good talk with the old lady, as for whether the old lady believed it or not, she couldn’t care less.

“Small business? What business?” Grandma Gu looked at Cai Xiaolian suspiciously.

She always felt that her second son’s family had some changes except for Xin Xin. Did they really turn over a new leaf?

“Nian Nian made a food that tastes pretty good. We plan to sell it. Mom, when Nian Nian is done, I’ll bring some over for you to try,” Cai Xiaolian said.

“Food?” Grandma Gu didn’t think much of it. She frowned and said, “This time, Second Brother has a gambling debt of 300 taels. He told us that he would think of a way himself. Do you know what he is thinking of?”

Cai Xiaolian shook her head. “Husband told me not to interfere. He said that I should stay at home and take care of the child.”
