"Little Three, your grandma wants you and your wife to come over!"
Both were hand in hand, feeling awkward, just as they heard the voice of his mother outside and immediately let go of their hands.
"Got it, we’ll be there in a bit!"
The two glanced at each other afterward.
Xiaoxiao’s mood was disturbed by Yang Ming’s sudden hand-grabbing, and she was no longer as angry as before. She got off the kang, got ready, and headed out with Yang Ming.
Why was the old child summoning her again? Could it be because of the rumors? She had just managed to soothe the old child herself! It was all Little Qingmei’s fault!
As she thought about it, Xiaoxiao glared at her bargain husband another time! It was all his fault!
And so, Yang Ming got glared at by his wife again, feeling completely innocent!
They arrived at the great aunt’s house quickly.
"Girl, come on in, hop on the kang, it’s warm!"
Xiaoxiao immediately took off her shoes and climbed onto the kang! She started chatting with her grandma.
"..." Yang Ming stood on the floor, just watching his wife chat with his grandma, feeling neglected again. Why was he always treated like air in front of his wife?
"Girl, are you pregnant?"
The old lady held Xiaoxiao’s hand and asked! She too had heard the rumors that Xiaoxiao was expecting.
"Grandma, that’s a misunderstanding, just rumors, I don’t have a child yet! There’s nothing going on with the fourth brother, you can relax!"
"Good, good! Your standards are high, why would you settle for a rough guy, dismissing a scholar?"
"..." Grandma, that’s a bit harsh, your grandson Yang Dong is also quite good.
"So, when do you plan on having one?"
"..." No matter the era, one cannot change the family pressure to marry and have children.
It was Yang Ming who quickly stepped in to smooth things over, "Grandma, there’s no rush on this, Xiaoxiao is still too young. Having a baby at fifteen is still too dangerous. Xiaoqiu’s recent childbirth really scared her!"
"..." So, he knew all about it!
"Alright, just focus on taking good care of your health for now, and later you can have a healthy, chubby boy for grandma!"
"Yes, grandma, rest assured, I will make sure she eats well when we get back, and get her all plump and white."
The mention of this seemed to make Yang Ming very happy, he even became more talkative. In the old lady’s eyes, this grandson of hers was finally catching on!
"..." Hey hey hey, all plump and white, that doesn’t sound like something a bargain husband would say.
"How has Xiaoqiu been these days?"
Unexpectedly, the old lady brought up this matter. Since Xiaoqiu returned, relatives had gradually been visiting to check on her. Everyone was excited about her return, as she was the first girl from the Yang Family to make it back home, triggering a mode of doting over daughters in the Yang Family. They extended all their love for daughters and sisters to Xiaoqiu, which helped heal her wounded heart a little.
"Ah, it’s all that old man’s fault, if only he could bring all the granddaughters back!"
"..." What’s the situation here, no news of the other girls?
She suddenly remembered, Yang Qiu had been sold. Could it mean that he had sold all the girls, under the guise of sending them out as child brides? No wonder when they divided the family property, the other sons were able to get enough money to build their houses! With just a farm, where else could the money have come from!
Such a major crime of human trafficking would surely provoke severe retribution in the village, wouldn’t it? One could drown in the spit of angry villagers, but it seemed like the Yang Family was undisturbed by it all!
