Dont worry. My parents will stay in Duefron and help take care of our children in the future, he added.
Jessie clenched her slender fingers, pondering the implications.
While she had considered the dynamics after marriage, Axells decision to have his parents stay long-term took her by surprise. It wasnt that she opposed contact with his parents, but dealing with Axells father posed a challenge.
Jessie simply smiled, withholding any comment.
When Jessie entered the kitchen, Axells mother, Monica, greeted her warmly and politely. Oh honey, you dont have to help me in here.

Jessie sensed an underlying message from Monica but managed to maintain her composure.
Axell found himself in a dilemma as well.
Leading Jessie away, Axell whispered, Thats just the older generations perspective about money. Things will gradually change.
Perhaps in an effort to put Jessie at ease, Axell behaved with exceptional politeness and consideration.
Jessie also thought that she couldnt deny Axell easily because of his parents habits. Besides, she wasnt getting any younger. If she really wanted to get married, she had to make sacrifices too.
Since Axells parents resided in the north, and she wasnt fond of the
idea of living with them, Jessie
contemplated purchasing a smaller house nearby. This arrangement would allow her to care for them without sharing the same roof.
Jessie felt a sense of relief upon considering this option.
Monica was a teacher and was very enthusiastic. She picked up food for Jessie and said, Jessie, | bet you rarely eat this in Duefron.
Have a taste.

You have to get used to spicy food. You know why? Monica said.
A woman should consume more spicy food to easily conceive boys.
Despite my initial discomfort, | grew accustomed to it and gave birth to Axell effortlessly. Unlike my sisters-in-law, who had several daughters before a son, | didnt endure much hardship.
Jessie was taken aback by Monicas seemingly thoughtful words.
Jessie pretended calm and asked Axell casually, You have to produce boys on your side of the family?
Pinching her nose lightly, Axell replied, Then lets aim for a son first and save you the trouble.
Jessie felt uncomfortable.
Given their unofficial engagement, Jessie felt uneasy discussing this topic with Axel or his parents.
