Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 981 Only when people are alive can there be hope.

Ma Shan thought so too. Regardless of whether these rumors could come true, what could be more important than San Ya giving birth smoothly?

People need to be alive to have something to think about.

However, given Sanya's personality, even if she knew about this "hearsay," she would probably keep it in mind but wouldn't take it seriously on the surface.

That's just how Da Ya is. After all, they're sisters. Although their personalities are different, the things they do are not that different.

Thinking back to the day when she was ordered by her mother-in-law to invite Zhou Daya and her child to visit, Zhou Daya insisted on bringing the child over the next day, which was quite unpleasant.
She didn't believe that Daya was really not in a hurry to let the two children meet their other two uncles; she was just too proud and afraid of being said to be too eager.

I don't know where this sense of superiority comes from, but they stubbornly insist on following the rules and waiting until the child's uncle is settled before bringing the child to pay respects to him.

At first, she heard that the two young masters of the Zhou family had asked where their eldest nephew was. This incident had caused quite a stir, and people who didn't know the situation might have mistakenly thought that they hadn't invited Da Ya and her two children.

After Gu Baoya finished speaking, she noticed by the candlelight that her sister-in-law's expression showed no envy or anything else. Reassured, she thought to herself that it wouldn't be good for the two of them to hide away and not go out.

After reviewing her mother's instructions again to make sure she hadn't forgotten anything, she pointed outside with her little finger to indicate that she was going out to entertain the guests.

The older women in the family don't need her company, but it would be better if she were there for Lian'er and the others. They took good care of her in the capital.

"Let's go together." Ma Shan took her sister-in-law's hand. "Keep an eye on things for me. Your second sister-in-law isn't around, so if I do anything inappropriate, you have to tell me, okay?"

"No way, sister-in-law, you're just as good as those young mistresses from wealthy families. Not only our mother, but even my second sister-in-law always says that it's a good thing we have you in the family."

"Such a sweet tongue! No wonder you're my brother and sister, you're so good with words!" Ma Shan suppressed a laugh, avoiding the buns on either side of her sister-in-law's head, and gently touched the top of her head.

Look at this headdress, it's new and beautiful. Your second sister-in-law has really spoiled you!
It wasn't all for nothing, but she still miscalculated one thing. That night, Zhou Yanhai met his chubby-faced nephew and his beautifully adorned niece.

Unlike Zhou Changwu and others who stayed at Yuyuan Garden after the welcoming banquet, the two brothers used the excuse of sending their second uncle home to avoid returning to Yuyuan Garden altogether.

Naturally, he also met the eldest sister his third brother had mentioned. Indeed, as his third brother had said, the eldest sister was very shy when they first met, and then...

The eldest sister, who had been speaking softly just moments before, seemed to disapprove of her four brothers wanting to sleep in the same bed, but was still very gentle, waiting for her eldest nephew to want to sleep with his uncle.
With a loud "smack," followed by an even louder roar like a lion, it was quite frightening. Everyone in the room was stunned by the eldest sister's outburst.

"Hahaha..." Zhou Yanhai looked at his second uncle, who was stunned for a moment and then covered his face with his hands. He glanced at his brother-in-law out of the corner of his eye and saw that he was also stunned for a moment and then had an "I knew it" look on his face. He couldn't help but laugh. "Why scare the child? It seems that my sister has a very short temper. Brother-in-law, my sister has annoyed you a lot, hasn't she?"

Li Chunsheng quickly shook his head. He wasn't stupid. He knew his wife's personality perfectly well. How could he nod when his brother-in-law asked?
“The child isn’t really ours, but she’s been waiting for her uncle so late. What a good child! Come here, let your second uncle hold her. I heard she can recite the Three Character Classic, is that right?” Looking at his eldest nephew, who wasn’t scared at all, and his niece, who was being held in Li Chunsheng’s arms and only opened her eyes briefly before falling asleep again, Zhou Yanhai truly understood what Zhou Yanfeng meant when he said that you can tell just by looking at her. It’s good that his younger sister has such a different older sister.

If she is not true to herself, my younger sister will inevitably suffer. This is good. She is not cunning and not good at pretending, so there will be less infighting among the sisters.

"You!"

Watching his nephew carry his grandson back to his room to rest, and then glancing at his eldest daughter who still wanted to go and bring her grandson back, Zhou Shun was at a loss for words.

It's not that he felt his eldest daughter had embarrassed him. Everyone knows who he is. His family was originally a poor peasant family that couldn't even fill their stomachs. Only his third daughter was so lucky.

Furthermore, not all nephews are the same. Nephews who are not born of blood brothers are not necessarily close. Those good-for-nothings are only now that his family is doing well. Before, they would have given him attitude to his face. Unlike these three nephews, who have always been very respectful to their second uncle since they first met him.

It wasn't just that his three nephews were well-mannered and outwardly respected him as their second uncle; they genuinely treated him as their own flesh and blood second uncle.

The eldest daughter is good in every way. She even knows to take the child back to her parents' home so the child can meet their uncle. But why did she slap the chair to scare the child late at night?
This isn't just being impatient; it's losing your temper. You can teach a child anytime. She's still young; what can she understand? Just coax her gently first. Why bang on the chair in the middle of the night? Why not bang on the table? This girl deserves a beating.

It's only because the eldest son-in-law has a good temperament. If it were any other man, he wouldn't be able to laugh with a wife who is so impatient and acts recklessly regardless of the situation. Sigh, it's his fault as the father-in-law. What a good son-in-law, but he ended up with the least clever wife among his siblings.

Li Chunsheng was unaware that his father-in-law felt deeply guilty towards him. When he saw his father-in-law about to speak to his wife, and before he could even finish, his wife started talking back, he was so frightened that he hurriedly shoved the daughter he was holding into his father-in-law's arms.

He first had his father-in-law hold the child, and while saying this, he immediately came to hold his daughter. He quickly helped his wife, who was struggling, and headed towards the west room for the night. Seeing that his wife was still turning her head and seemed reluctant to leave, as if she wanted to say something to her father-in-law, he had no choice but to speak again.

"No rush, I'll go back to your room with you first. Once you're settled, I'll bring our daughter back. It won't be long before we bring our son back, he'll be asleep. But have you forgotten that you're pregnant again?"

Interrupted repeatedly, Zhou Daya almost laughed in exasperation. "Stop! I'm not Sanya. I'm perfectly healthy, and this isn't my first pregnancy. I don't need you helping me. Why hasn't Mother sent anyone to bring me a midnight snack yet? My brothers are about to fall asleep..."

So you weren't trying to talk to your dad at first, but rather asked why your mom hadn't come in yet? Li Chunsheng knew he'd guessed wrong. He waited patiently for his wife to finish speaking before adding, "Have you forgotten that everyone just finished eating and came back?"

"No, I know everyone ate at Sanya's place before coming back. They even drank some hangover soup before they got back. If they hadn't had some time to spare, what good would taking a piss do? They would have been starving by now. Even if they weren't hungry, a sip of soup would have been good to quench their thirst..."

Zhou Sishun, who was carrying his granddaughter and following behind the couple, thought to himself that his eldest daughter's words, though rough, were not unreasonable. The in-laws had eaten a lot at the banquet tonight, but they drank even more. One person offered a toast, and another wanted to drink a whole cup of wine. He felt like he needed to pee again.

"...Sanya isn't feeling well living there. I wonder if they can get used to the sleep. Dad, you should stay up a little later tonight and keep an eye on them."
