Good heavens! Compared to the previous months of pregnancy, I can't even imagine how short the 20-odd days are. And yet, I'm already a month pregnant in just over 20 days.

"It will be much easier to move it after the full moon. Otherwise, we will have to put up tents to keep out the wind and move things around, which is very troublesome."

It's not like you need to put up a curtain. How could the house be short of maids and servants to put up curtains? Or is it that they're short of manpower to move things and tidy up? That's not a valid excuse.

Gu Wenxuan glanced at the maids and wet nurses in the room out of the corner of his eye, and thought it best not to say anything, since he only had about twenty days left before his wife abandoned him.

I don't know which heartless person set this rule, but if a wife goes through the ordeal of giving birth, she can only have her postpartum confinement period, and the husband can't even sleep on the same kang (heated brick bed) with her.

"Besides, you can stay here for a month to give birth, and then move to a better room for another month. You can switch rooms and easily finish both months of postpartum care."

Changing accommodations midway through the postpartum period will lead to different environments and different moods? Well, that's fine with me. It would be best if you could easily complete your double postpartum period.

After carefully handing his son to the wet nurse to be carried out, Gu Wenxuan withdrew his gaze, turned to Zhou Banxia, ​​and smiled, "Okay, you've successfully convinced me."

"..." Little brat! He even emphasized that he wasn't persuading, but rather subduing her, "Isn't it time to go out for the banquet?"

"You're blushing, honey! You blushed again!" Gu Wenxuan nodded, suppressing a laugh. It was time to change his clothes and go out; it wouldn't be good to stay indoors.

"As for the return gifts and such, just leave it to Aunt Lan. I've arranged everything I can. You just rest and don't worry about anything, okay?"

"I know." I know it every day, I say it several times a day, how could I not know it? I can recite it by heart. Listen carefully, "Eat on time, eat more and sleep more."

Don't worry about me here, I'll leave things outside to you. Just bring a few red envelopes with you, there will definitely be a lot of relatives bringing their children to your great-grandfather's house for the feast today."

"What a joke! It's not like they're coming to our house. Why would I give them a red envelope? If anyone dares to ask me for a red envelope, I'll immediately take my son and go get it back."

Now I'm not afraid of not getting the red envelopes I give out back. I've already planned that once my son can go out, I'll take him to visit every relative's house.

After we leave our relatives' house, we'll naturally head to the wealthy Zhao family's houses in town. If any of them give my son a small gift, my son and I will refuse to leave.

"Ha ha……"

Seeing Gu Wenxuan winking after he finished speaking, Zhou Banxia burst out laughing. "Well done, you two staying here will save the family a few meals."

Gu Wenxuan chuckled and helped Zhou Banxia, ​​who was about to lose her balance, while continuing to joke and distract her. He then helped her to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) and pressed her down to sit.

"...That's why I've always wanted to bring Changsuo to the city, but unfortunately he's not my own son, so I can't teach him everything. What if I spoil him if I don't teach him enough?"

Look!
It's so comfortable to sit here.

"So you think you can teach your own child anything?" Zhou Banxia glanced at him and pushed him. "Let's talk about it when we get back."

"That's right. How can your own children and nephews be the same? No matter how good your nephews and nieces are, there's always a gap between them. Naturally, they will prioritize their parents."

Leaving aside Suocheng, let's talk about myself. To be fair, my parents, who gave me life and raised me, are the most important. How could my uncles and aunts possibly have the final say? Impossible. Similarly, if we were to distinguish between my elder brother and me in terms of hierarchy, would Suocheng let me decide? If so, then there's something wrong with this child's character.

Unless the parents are excessively unkind, what child wouldn't respect their parents? Sit still, I can dress myself, just look at our dad.

The dilemma I was in wasn't simply because I was repeatedly manipulated by my parents' talk of 'filial piety'; ultimately, it stemmed from the deep affection I had for them.

That's true. If the relationship isn't deep, why would there be repeated tolerance? Even a shrewd father-in-law like him can see through people's biases. It's just a pity that there are so many parents who don't appreciate their blessings.

She had felt sorry for her parents' hardships, and even though she was far away from home, she repeatedly comforted herself that the debt of life was greater than heaven, and that she should just endure it. But in the end, her heart died.

Not all parents love their children. Many parents, even when their children give in, still relentlessly pressure them, making it hard for their children to breathe.

Fortunately, God opened his eyes and gave her the best father in the world, a good father who is completely the opposite of that other father. How lucky she is in this life!
Like Zhou Banxia, ​​Gu Wenxuan also thought of his good father at this moment. He couldn't continue chatting, so he quickly changed his clothes.

If he wasn't mistaken, Manager Wang had definitely run away by now, the kind of runaway that even his father couldn't stop him from saying he had important business at Yunkelai.

In this way, even if his father didn't have time to send someone into the inner courtyard to call him to show his face and see Master Wang off to the carriage, he was still in a hurry to call him to go out and visit guests together as soon as possible.

Outer courtyard.

After seeing off Manager Wang, who repeatedly stated that there were many people who had already booked banquets at Yunkelai today, Gu Erzhu turned back and waited for his eldest son and youngest son, but instead, he saw his in-laws, Ma Dazhuang and his son.

"Where are Erlang and Liulang?"

Unlike Zhou Shun, who constantly refers to his son-in-law as "my eldest son-in-law," Ma Dazhuang is already being very polite by calling his only son-in-law by his nickname "Erlang." If he weren't so polite, he would simply call his son-in-law "that kid," or "your eldest son."

"Did those two brothers go to the scholar's place a while ago? I saw you three coming back from the other side of the village when I went back earlier. How come those two rascals left you behind? Come on, what are you standing there for? It's getting late."

Brother Ma not only speaks in a loud voice, but he also doesn't give you a chance to reply!
Gu Erzhu finally managed to get Ma Dazhuang to finish speaking and stop. He suppressed a laugh, nodded to Ma Erhu who was bowing, and quickly explained, "Those two rascals are still inside—"

"What? They're still not out?" Ma Dazhuang subconsciously turned his head, loosened his hands from behind his back, and shook his head as he looked towards the backyard. "These two lads are really patient. Did they send someone to call them? Have your sister-in-law and the others gone out yet?"

"They left early this morning, and even Tiger Girl took the two kids with her before we came back." Gu Erzhu knew why Ma Dazhuang suddenly asked this question and who he was thinking about, so he didn't keep his in-laws in suspense and gave them a clear answer.

"This child!" Ma Dazhuang looked at his in-laws with a puzzled expression, then shook his head. "She's been spoiled rotten by me and her mother. It's much better for her to stay home and keep Sanya company. Don't get involved in any of this. She's just like her mother, can't even sit still—"

"Stop!" Gu Erzhu interrupted, unable to suppress a laugh. "I don't think there's anything wrong with Hu Niu. Why keep her cooped up at home all the time? Don't try to trick me. I'm not praising my daughter-in-law, but the child is good enough. What more do you want from her?"

If Sanya weren't in her postpartum confinement period, I would have made sure she went out to join the fun. Even Hu Niu didn't want to go out today, but my husband and I told her that Chang Suo was outside and needed her to keep an eye on things, so she went. Don't you dare say anything to Hu Niu later!

"...I can't argue with you. Hey, Erlang and Liulang are here!" (End of Chapter)
