I don’t know if it’s because of the good example set by the four older children, but the three little buns have grown up so fast. It seed like they grew up in the blink of an eye, becoming more sensible and obedient.
Perhaps it’s because they are siblings from the sa mother and inherently share a strong bloodline connection. Most of the ti, the three little buns don’t heed Xiao Si, but they always listen to Xiaojiu and Little Shier. As soon as this brother and sister duo shows their disapproval, the little ones would imdiately quiet down.
Seeing how loving and affectionate the seven little grandsons are, Xie Tiesheng and his wife, as grandparents, were truly overjoyed.
The elders in the neighborhood, every ti they see Yan Jinsu, they always say how lucky she is. Not only did she have five children in two pregnancies, but each child was also obedient and charming, which is very endearing.
Whenever this topic ca up, Zhou Xiuhua felt incredibly proud. anwhile, Old Xie, who had a lot weighing on his mind, felt more troubled.
Whenever the neighbors ntioned this, Old Xie felt uneasy since his Third Son was always away from ho due to his military duties, leaving his wife and children alone.
His Third Son’s wife cos from a good family background, is beautiful, skilled in raising children, and excels in making money – she is more successful than anyone else in Qingfeng Village!
Such a wonderful daughter-in-law, he was genuinely worried that so lowlifes would target her!
Therefore, whenever the neighbors brought up the Third Son’s wife, Xie Tiesheng’s stern face would look even grimr, fearing theft.
Yan Jinsu’s house, which she bought originally, was in a great location; the families living nearby were all quite substantial. This increasingly spotlighted the prosperous lives of the Xie Family.
Moreover, Xie Tiesheng and his wife were very hardworking, and the private business they were doing was attractive enough, winning lots of praise from the neighbors for how well they treated Yan Jinsu.
People thought that Xie Tiesheng and his wife were really sensible and good in-laws.
This was sothing Yan Jinsu personally experienced and strongly agreed with.
The well-known harmonious relationship and sensibility among the Xie Family indirectly led to Xie Jingyang, the divorced man, catching the eyes of the neighbors.
Of course, regular visits by cars to see Yan Jinsu drew even more attention! The neighborhood’s interest in the Xie Family’s affairs grew significantly.
Especially since the Xie Family’s circumstances were improving, Xie Jingyang seed slightly high in demand, with matrimony proposals flowing in, increasing the number of matchmakers who wanted to set him up.
It was unclear if Xie Jingyang had given up on the idea of a ’wife.’ No matter who ca to propose, he always smiled and shook his head, which almost turned Zhou Xiuhua’s hair white with worry.
In fact, Yan Jinsu felt her brother-in-law was not really flawed; he was just too soft-hearted and not very discerning in his taste in won.
His experiences in two relationships had left Xie Jingyang rather indifferent toward won.
Besides, Xie Jingyang felt that now he had a son and a daughter, and he got along well with his children. To him, whether or not to marry was not very important.
After all, marriage is not about just one person; it connects two families. If a good woman ca along, then fine, but if it were a troublemaker, it would definitely lead to strained relations between father and son, or father and daughter.
Additionally, Xie Jingyang wanted to save money to provide better opportunities for his two children. He had just started accumulating so savings and was reluctant to use it.
Also, he felt he was already old enough and was no longer willing to use his parents’ money to get another wife. He actually enjoyed his current life quite a lot.
Xie Jingyang was quite satisfied with the current situation.
Yan Jinsu noticed that her brother-in-law truly did not want to get married at the mont. She had a gentle and polite discussion with the grandma privately and offered her best advice:
"Mom, the brother-in-law is still young. It will be two or three years before he turns thirty. Xiao Si and Xiaoqi are not too young anymore and it’s precisely the ti they need their biological father to properly guide them. If their father gets remarried now and they harbor resentnt, it would truly be detrintal to the developnt of the children’s ntality."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiuhua thought about the recent tis, as more matchmakers visited, and Xiao Si and Xiaoqi beca increasingly silent, which tightened her heart.
Seeing that her mother-in-law was listening, Yan Jinsu added fuel to the fire:
"Look, wait a few more years, when the brother-in-law has achieved success in his career, and the two children have grown into their teens. Both their intellect and ntality will be relatively mature by then. At that ti, we can find him a nice woman who has both a good temperant and understanding.
At that ti, when the brother-in-law reconstitutes a family and has more children, there will be a distance between them and Xiao Si and Xiaoqi. Xiao Si will have grown up more, and it will prevent troubles like sibling rivalry, wouldn’t that be even better?
This way, it would be the best both for the children and for the future wife of the brother-in-law."
Listening to this, Zhou Xiuhua felt that it might not be very fair to Wu’er, but the logic in the words of her third son’s wife was evident. Thinking further, she felt this was truly best for her grandson and Wu’er.
Zhou Xiuhua hesitated, and Xie Tiesheng, having heard everything, actually found the third son’s wife’s words quite good and nodded in agreent.
Seeing her husband’s support, Zhou Xiuhua’s initial desire to find another wife for her fifth son was almost completely dispelled, especially when considering the pitiful state of Xiao Si and Xiaoqi and easily being persuaded by Yan Jinsu,
After all, a future daughter-in-law couldn’t weigh more than her current grandchildren.
Moreover, "a man is still in his pri at forty," she was satisfied upon hearing this logic from her third son’s wife.
Old Mr. Xie finally felt that his third son was still seen as worthwhile in his daughter-in-law’s eyes.
However, the old man thought of his three little buns, who were about to turn one year old, and how their real father hadn’t returned from his "trip," his slight improvent in mood imdiately hardened again.
Even though Yan Jinsu was intelligent and perceptive, she couldn’t have guessed this hurricane-like change in her father-in-law’s mood.
Having managed to persuade Zhou Xiuhua, the grandma finally stopped forcing Xie Jingyang, the fifth, to marry a new wife, and Xie Jingyang breathed a sigh of relief.
The family began to get along more harmoniously again.
The siblings, Xiao Si and Xiaoqi, sensing that their grandma had eased up, felt a great relief in their hearts. Being still young, their true feelings showed on their faces.
Zhou Xiuxiu, after observing carefully, saw that just as her third son’s wife had said, she felt even more guilt towards Xiao Si and Xiaoqi and kept coming up with ways to genuinely make her grandchildren happy and reassured.
Xiao Si and Xiaoqi also knew that it must have been Second Aunt who spoke well on their behalf that made their grandma listen, sothing even their little aunt couldn’t manage!
They felt even closer and more affectionate towards Yan Jinsu, wishing they could happily call her ’Mommy’ just like the five little ones.
Of course, that was just a taphor. It simply ant that Xiao Si and Xiaoqi really liked Yan Jinsu a lot.
Having already started school and experienced family changes, Xiao Si and Xiaoqi were now very clear about what the adults ant by ’husband and wife’, so they of course wouldn’t make that kind of ’slip of the tongue’ again.
This would just lead to awkward situations among the adults—
