“What are you looking at, Third Aunt-in-law?” Xia Wen asked.
Zhou Hua smiled at Xia Wen and said, “I think you seem quite happy too. Actually, they can give one of the twins to you. Don’t you think that would be perfect?”
The moment she said this, the atmosphere in the room instantly turned icy. Liu Fen also stood at the side, not knowing what to say. The smiles on Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe’s faces disappeared at the same time while Xia Wen and Tan Jing threw dirty looks at Zhou Hua.
The angrier Xia Zhe looked, the happier Qiao Mei felt. There were many people in her village who gave away their children in exchange for money. There were also people who starved their daughters and married them off once they were of marriageable age.

Seeing that everyone ignored her, Zhou Hua laughed awkwardly and said, “I was just joking. Why did everyone take it seriously?”
“Then Third Aunt-in-law should stop joking in the future. You don’t seem to be very good at telling jokes,” Xia Wen said coldly.
Seeing that he did not give her an out despite him being her junior, Zhou Hua said mockingly, “You’re really taking my good intentions for granted. Who do you think I’m saying this for? I’m being kind but no one appreciates it. Second sister-in-law, let’s go cook.”
After Zhou Hua finished speaking, she did not forget to glare at Tan Jing. If not for this useless woman, she would not have been put on the spot today. Even a country girl could get pregnant with two children, yet Tan Jing did not have any contribution after marrying into the family for so many years.
“Ah, right, right, right. It’s time to cook so let’s go!” Liu Fen smiled and answered Zhou Hua, hurriedly pulling her into the kitchen.
When she reached the kitchen door, she turned back to look at the people in the living hall. Tan Jing did not say anything and quietly got up to go into the kitchen. Xia He also followed her. There were many juniors today, so Xia Fang did not have to help out.
Liu Fen glanced at Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe hurriedly blocked Liu Fen’s line of sight by sitting beside Qiao Mei. He said happily, “How did you all go to the hospital? Was it a bumpy ride? Were there many people queuing? You should rest so that you don’t tire my son out.”
Xia Zhe even emphasized the word “son” loudly at the end. Liu Fen shook her head and smiled. This would be the family’s eldest grandson, she had better not let Qiao Mei tire herself out. It was not as if there was no one else around to do these things. She would give Qiao Mei a break.
Qiao Mei stole a glance at the kitchen and whispered, “What if it’s two daughters?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmXia Zhe happily patted Qiao Mei’s belly and said, “What’s so bad about having daughters? They’ll grow up to look as beautiful as you. Our eldest aunt is so capable. Then look at our youngest aunt, she’s also an important staff member of the hospital. Then look at my sister, the mainstay of the culture troupe. My mother was previously the head of the military art troupe. Besides, you’re so capable, so it’s a good thing to have daughters.”
Xia Wen smiled as he looked at Xia Zhe and his wife. In the past, Xia Zhe rarely came home and even requested to stay in the army to work during the holiday season. He was like an iceberg that had no warmth. Now, he looked as though he would do anything for Qiao Mei.
As Xia He washed the vegetables in the kitchen, she said, “Now that Xia Zhe is married, he’s happy all the time.”
“Isn’t that so? The old Xiao Zhe doesn’t like to talk, but now he’s just smiling every day.” Liu Fen sighed as she looked at the loving couple through the kitchen glass door.
“Second Uncle was also like this when he married Second Aunt-in-law back then, right? If Second Uncle hadn’t been so busy recently after his promotion, Second Uncle and Second Aunt-in-law would probably be the ones putting on a public display of affection!” Xia He looked at Liu Fen and teased her.
Liu Fen raised her hand and gently gave Xia He a push. She said embarrassedly, “You’re making fun of me! I’m so old already! But your second uncle has indeed been very busy recently. I haven’t seen him in a long time. It’s a good thing that he’s busy though. I’m thinking he will be back soon.”
As Zhou Hua chopped vegetables at one side, she made loud sounds on the chopping board, causing the cabinet to shake from the impact. Third Uncle Xia Guang’s career had not shown any signs of improvement recently. Not long ago, he had even been reprimanded by his superiors, and she had also been mocked by Xu Lan for that. Seeing Liu Fen showing off about how capable and reliable her husband was, Zhou Hua felt that all these people looked down on her!
