“What’s with all the panic?” Mr. Xu glared at Wang, “It’s such a small matter, yet you’ve already become a mess! If my third son becomes an official in the future, how will you stand up to all the challenges?”
“I…”
The panicked Wang instantly became dumbfounded, not knowing how to respond to Mr. Xu’s words. She wanted to say that these were entirely different things. But while the words were on the tip of her tongue, she realized that she still wouldn’t dare to talk back to Mr. Xu.
“If you are so scared, you can go back to your natal home!”
Mr. Xu really did not have a high regard for his daughter-in-law. During normal days, she would stir up trouble at home, but once she encountered a little bit of trouble, she could hardly retain her composure.
“Father, I was wrong!” Wang exclaimed, taken aback when she saw that Mr. Xu really meant it.
“Dear, what are you talking about!” After Wang admitted to her mistake, Mrs. Xu spoke up. “It’s such a big thing; even I was afraid at the start. Our third daughter-in-law is so young and hasn’t experienced much of life, so it is extremely normal for her to be afraid. ”
“Mother-” Hearing that Mrs. Xu was interceding on her behalf, Wang became really touched, tears streaming down her face.
Mrs. Xu gently patted Wang’s hand, consoling her, “Don’t cry. Why cry? It’s not a big deal.”
“Fine, I’m just saying!” Seeing that his wife had spoken up for Wang, Mr. Xu finally stopped targeting her.
Mrs. Xu glared at Mr. Xu, then spent a little more time comforting Wang, before personally sending Wang back to her room with Youngest Xu. After sitting for a while and accompanying Wang, she returned to the hall.
In the hall, Mr. Xu was still a little angry. He had always felt that his third daughter-in-law could not be brought to the table. During normal days, she would fuss at everything, but when she encountered the slightest of troubles, she became so flustered. She was supposed to be the daughter of a scholarly family, but had turned out to be such a disappointment.
“Dear, you say, why was I so blind at that time?” Mr. Xu asked angrily, “Why did I choose to marry our third child to such a troublesome daughter-in-law!”
“What are you talking about?”
Mr. Xu glared. “What’s the matter with third son’s wife? What is her family’s background? She could easily have married into a home with a better background than ours!”
“In these years, third son hasn’t attained much, and you’re still not allowing her to make a fuss? During the time when you were good-for-nothing, didn’t I make a fuss about you too? Or perhaps, at that time, you also wanted to drive me back to my natal family?”
This continuous lecturing by Mrs. Xu dumbfounded Mr. Xu.
Since when did he have this intention?
Fine! It was all his fault; one was bound to have a slip of the tongue if you talked too much!
Mr. Xu hastily admitted his mistake and sincerely stated that he was wrong. With this, he finally received Mrs. Xu’s forgiveness.
“Dear, let me tell you, our third daughter-in-law may be pregnant! Listen to me. Stop getting angry with her over trivial matters. If something wrong happened to third daughter-in-law, forget about the fact that third son might resent you for a lifetime; even I would never forgive you!”
“Pregnant? But third son had just left!” Mr. Xu protested with wide eyes, seeming a little dazed.
Mrs. Xu snorted, “The day third son left, she had a dream about the sun falling into her arms. This is a good sign. There’s a ninety-nine percent chance that she is pregnant. I guess we’ll know for sure in a few days!”
“Good, good, good!”
Mr. Xu was instantly full of joy. As for Wang’s previous problems, he had long left them behind.
“Dear, aiya, an auspicious time has really arrived in our family! Hehe, third son is finally having a child too! Great, great! This is great!”
At this moment, Mr. Xu no longer knew how to describe his joy!
