The elder and second sisters-in-law didn’t care about Xiaoxiao’s reaction at all, they just pushed Xiaoxiao into the house, and the meal was brought in directly.
"Elder sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, am I sick?" Xiaoxiao looked at them confusedly, asking while pointing at herself, completely unaware of what was happening. What were these two up to now?
"Don’t be embarrassed, we’ve all been through it. Feeling sore all over, aren’t you? Just rest for now," the second sister-in-law said while raising her eyebrows, hinting that she understood it all.
"..." Sore all over? She only felt a slight soreness in her wrist, and it was almost healed, she could move it freely.
The elder sister-in-law added, "Sister-in-law, we are genuinely happy for you."
"..." Xiaoxiao was getting even more confused by what her sister-in-laws were saying. "Elder sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, what are you talking about? What happened to me? Why are you happy for me?"
"What else could it be? It’s about you and Yang Ming’s wedding night last night. We were actually worried about Yang Ming not being up to par. Just the night before last, I felt sorry for you, but now it’s all good," said the second sister-in-law straightforwardly, genuinely finding happiness for Xiaoxiao.
Hearing this, Xiaoxiao’s face turned beet red. She remembered last night’s events, but to the two sister-in-laws, the wedding night seemed a confirmed fact.
Xiaoxiao didn’t know what to say. If she denied it, it would appear as if Yang Ming was incapable. She couldn’t mess things up further, so she decided to go along with it.
"Elder sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, how did you find out about last night so quickly?" Xiaoxiao asked, her face still flushed, needing to know who the instigator was.
"Hahaha, sister-in-law, you can’t blame us. We were really worried that Yang Ming might not be capable, scared he wouldn’t have children, so we were just more concerned," they explained.
"..." Here, not having children seemed to be a big deal, but even if Yang Ming were healthy, that couldn’t guarantee children. It also depended on her, she hadn’t even gotten her period yet. When was it going to come?
What if she really was infertile? Would Yang Ming then have children with someone else? Xiaoxiao hadn’t realized she was already considering having children with Yang Ming.
"How exactly did you find out anyway?"
"..." The second sister-in-law hesitated, afraid to speak. If she told her that Yang Ming had spread the news, would Xiaoxiao be mad? Seeing Xiaoxiao’s demanding expression, she decided she might as well take the blame. "Actually... I overheard it."
Elder sister-in-law: How did this end up as nonsense?
Xiaoxiao: They’re lying, there was no noise at all.
Xiaoxiao didn’t press further, sure that Yang Ming had divulged this to prove his manliness.
Usually so quiet, who knew he was such a schemer.
"Elder sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, I’m fine. You can go back first."
"Alright, we’ll head back first. There’s nothing much to do at home anyway, you just lie down and rest," the two said as they left.
Xiaoxiao was left alone, eating the meal, being served, why not eat if it’s free.
While eating, Xiaoxiao started giggling, recalling the events from last night. Yang Ming had been so daring, even grabbing her hand and causing a commotion, and she was bold enough to agree.
She thought, perhaps she liked Yang Ming more than just a little bit. Isn’t there a saying, a woman only commits when she’s in love?
Was she falling in love? Isn’t dating usually starting with holding hands, kissing, and hugging? Why did the sequence change when it came to her?
