So all the wives were waiting for me to break up with them.

Xiao Yan's heart skipped a beat. "I hope nothing bad has happened."

"No, I just want to take a closer look." The Taoist priest looked mysterious and charlatan-like.

As soon as Xiao Yan left the house, she immediately called Zhou You.

"Son, is someone in your family pregnant? Or is it twins?"

On the other end of the phone, Zhou You held his phone, somewhat taken aback, just like Xiao Yan when she heard the Taoist priest say that.

He glanced at Ning Moxin outside, who was tending to the scallions and garlic sprouts. Because of the recent lockdown in Shanghai due to the epidemic, she had planted scallions, garlic sprouts, and other ingredients like chili peppers in her small courtyard at home, just in case.

These prepared ingredients are now thriving and ready to be used at any time, which makes Ning Moxin very gratified.

(Onions are a very cold-resistant plant.)

After seeing Ning Moxin's pots of seedlings, Chen Tangtang honestly admitted that she was very envious—no, very envious.

If it weren't for the inappropriateness, Chen Tangtang would even like to raise a hen in the yard, let it lay eggs every day, and then kill it to make soup when it gets old, so that the hen can truly fulfill the value of its life.

Closer to home.

Zhou Youcong snapped out of her thoughts and replied to Xiao Yan, "No."

"Really? No way?" Xiao Yan pressed.

"I... and a few of my sisters have been concerned about this recently, really not," Zhou You replied after a moment's hesitation.

Leaving aside Chen Tangtang, Yun Mingyue and Ning Moxin are definitely aiming for pregnancy, and every time they go straight to getting pregnant.

They also recently had a physical examination.

Leaving aside Zhou You, the young man, although the older women are a bit older, they are well-maintained. With enough money to purchase the fruits of human technology, their health is probably better than that of white-collar workers in their twenties who sit in the office for long periods of time and are in poor health.

Not winning the bid can only be attributed to bad luck.

"oops!"

Xiao Yan couldn't help but slap her thigh. How could she have believed that Taoist priest's nonsense? Twins? If he could tell whether someone was pregnant from thousands of miles away, would he still be staying in this Taoist temple?

"Mom, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing. There are a few details to keep in mind at the wedding. I'll tell you when we get to your house." Xiao Yan hurried towards the roadside.

Her childhood sweetheart, who also served as her tool, was waiting for her to come back in the car.

“You can just tell me over the phone, there’s no need to make a trip.” Zhou You was very considerate of his mother.

Xiao Yan disagreed, saying, "Do you think I went to your house to see you? I went to see my daughter-in-law!"

Zhou You: "..."

This mother is definitely her biological mother.

100% Mom!

"Fine, I won't stop you. Do as you please."

After Zhou You hung up the phone, Ning Moxin, who had finished tending to the scallions and garlic sprouts outside, changed into cotton slippers by the corridor and came in.

"Is that Mom on the phone?" she asked.

"Ah."

"What did Mom ask?"

"She asked me if we were pregnant," Zhou You answered truthfully.

Ning Moxin paused involuntarily, her calf slightly raised a few centimeters and suspended in mid-air. After a while, she slowly lowered it.

"Is Mom urging us to have a baby soon?"

“I don’t know either. She just asked me if any of you were pregnant, and even mentioned twins.”

Zhou You was completely baffled by Xiao Yan's sudden question.

Ning Moxin nodded slightly, seemingly lost in thought. It seemed that Xiao Yan hoped they could have more children.

However, it seems there's no other good way to deal with this except for Xiaoyou to work harder.

She glanced at Zhou You, pursed her lips, her heart pounding as she squeezed her legs together. This was her mother's idea; she couldn't blame her for always clinging to Xiao You, could she?

Ning Moxin instantly felt that she would have a get-out-of-jail-free card no matter what she did from now on.

She's acting under orders!

The thought that she could legitimately take advantage of Zhou in the future made her eyes light up.

While Ningmo was lost in thought, Zhou You brought up another matter, "Oh right, Mom also said she's coming to our house later."

"...I'll go upstairs and call the others down."

Upon hearing this, Ning Moxin hurriedly went upstairs, running lightly to the second floor.

She went to find Chen Tangtang first.

Because not only were they at home today, but Chen Youzi and Ning Mengmeng were also there. The two little ones are probably discussing something with Chen Tangtang right now.

She needed to remind them to prevent the two little ones from causing trouble.

Knock knock knock~~

"Tangtang! Open the door!"

"Auntie?"

It wasn't Chen Tangtang who opened the door, but Ning Mengmeng. She opened the door a crack, peeked out from behind, and looked up at Ning Moxin.

"Let me in first." Ning Moxin took a few steps forward, wanting to enter the room.

Ning Mengmeng hesitated for a moment at the door, then stepped aside to let Ning Moxin into the room.

Inside the room, sisters Chen Tangtang and Chen Youzi sat on the bed. Chen Tangtang was about to hug Chen Youzi, but Chen Youzi shook her shoulders and broke free.

"Tangtang, did you bully Youzi again?" Ning Moxin asked gently.

"No way!" Chen Tangtang immediately retorted loudly.

She, Chen Tangtang, never bullies her younger sister!

Never!

Chen Tangtang: Seriously (?▽?)

Knowing Chen Tangtang's personality well, Ning Moxin naturally wouldn't be fooled by Chen Tangtang's self-righteous demeanor.

Chen Tangtang may not really want to bully her younger sister, but her actions...

It's safe to say that having such an older sister must have been tough for Yuzu growing up.

Ning Moxin guessed, "Is it because you two were planning something again, and Tangtang unintentionally stopped you, so you're unhappy?"

She believes her guess is quite reliable, after all, the two little ones have been acting this way for over a year.

Although it wasn't a perfect success every time...

I inexplicably felt a little teary-eyed.

After a year of repeated failures and relentless efforts, it's not something most people could persevere through.

In other words, Chen Youzi and Ning Mengmeng are naturally optimistic, and also...

Ning Moxin glanced at the two little ones, thinking that their persistence could only be due to their deep-seated feelings for Zhou.

“I’ve already made a promise with Youzi that I’ll be very well-behaved for a while, so you can rest assured, Auntie.” Ning Mengmeng shook her head and explained to Ning Moxin in a serious tone.

Ning Moxin naturally didn't believe it. "Really? You're not trying to lower our guard so you can take action, are you?"

She paused, then added, "Xiao You's mother is coming over later. You don't want to make a fool of yourselves in front of her, do you?"

Chen Tangtang chimed in from the side, "Yeah, yeah, you guys really shouldn't cause any trouble these days! Be good~~"

She's getting married soon, and no matter how much she loves her sister, she wouldn't want to go through with their troubles at this time.

Ning Mengmeng raised her voice, "Auntie! I'm serious!"

"Well……"

Ning Mo hesitated; preconceived notions weren't so easy to change.

Not to mention that Ning Mengmeng, this little green tea who always plays tricks, has a particularly low credibility.

Fortunately, Chen Youzi spoke up at this moment.

“Teacher Ning, what Mengmeng said is true. We discussed it before. Marriage is very important to my brother, and we don’t think we should interfere with you.”

If they really wanted to do something, things would be very different now. With the two little ones holding considerable power, it wouldn't be difficult for them to stir up trouble.

Although it's not guaranteed that we'll achieve our goal.

But they don't intend to do anything.

First of all, it would be incredibly reckless for them to cause trouble during this period.

Secondly, even if Chen Tangtang, Ning Moxin and Zhou You get married, it won't really affect them.

Chen Tangtang will still help them, and Zhou You will still tactfully keep his distance from them.

Okay, all of the above is just self-deception.

The two little ones were actually incredibly jealous, but they forcibly suppressed their urge to cause trouble out of consideration for Zhou You's feelings.

"Is that really true?"

Chen Youzi is much more trustworthy than Ning Mengmeng, and she's not good at lying either. So since she spoke so seriously, it must really be the true thought of these two best friends.

A look of relief appeared on Ning Moxin's face.

"Hmph." Ning Mengmeng snorted lightly and rolled her eyes at Ning Moxin.

Upon seeing this, Ning Moxin couldn't help but smile, and then a good idea suddenly flashed through her mind.

She had just promised her sister...

"Would you like Xiaoyou to get closer to you in the future?"

"Huh?!"*2 The two little ones were both stunned.

"Don't you want to?" Ning Moxin asked playfully on purpose.
