Chapter 436: Chapter 436: Wanting a Baby That Belongs to You and Me

Once they left the Li Family’s courtyard, the surroundings quieted down too. It was getting late, and many houses had turned off their lights for the night.

Qin Yang held Lin Chuxia’s hand, his fingertips gently caressing the back of her hand, "Xiaxia!"

"Hmm?"

"What do you think of Li Wei’s son?"

Lin Chuxia turned her head, glimpsing his serious and handsome face in the moonlight, and nodded, "He’s adorable, isn’t he? Didn’t I tell you yesterday already? Li Wei’s son is so chubby and round, just like a New Year picture doll."

"Well..." Qin Yang hesitated, swallowing before continuing in a raspy voice, "Would you like to have such a cute baby too?"

Lin Chuxia finally understood what he was getting at.

Over the past two-plus years, because they started living in different places and later she focused on her career, they had never discussed having children.

She thought he was the same as her, not in a hurry to have babies, especially since Qin Yang was even more career-focused than her.

But it turned out he was anxious about it too.

"Sure," Lin Chuxia agreed without hesitation.

She indeed had this in mind; seeing the little baby at Li Wei’s house yesterday suddenly made her look forward to having a child with Qin Yang.

After Lin Chuxia finished speaking, Qin Yang stepped forward and hugged her tightly, then hurriedly let go before she could fully react.

Lin Chuxia suppressed a laugh—men of this era really were chaste, and her Qin Yang was especially reserved and controlled.

If it hadn’t been so late and dark, he wouldn’t have made such a move.

Before she could say anything, he pulled her quickly towards their home.

"Hey, slow down!"

Lin Chuxia softly called out to him.

They were already at their small courtyard, Qin Yang quickly opened the gate, pulled her in, then locked the gate behind them and lifted her up horizontally.

Lin Chuxia yelped and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, "What are you doing?"

Qin Yang didn’t respond, Yuan Bao, seeing their activities, excitedly circled around them.

Once inside the house, Qin Yang with a kick shut Yuan Bao outside, and his kiss followed immediately.

He pressed against her, his voice low and husky, "Making a baby, Xiaxia, we need to have a baby that belongs to both you and me..."

Lin Chuxia’s heart softened, she kissed him back, "Okay!"

............

Meanwhile, at the family building.

As soon as they left Li Wei’s doorstep, Feng Dajun wore a grim look that lasted all the way home, and only after closing the door did he finally speak.

"Why did you say those words? Didn’t I tell you when we went there? We are colleagues from the same department. Is there any point in comparing who brings what?"

Besides Qin Yang, the rest of them hold lower positions and are essentially his subordinates, so even if they brought something slightly more expensive, it would be justified.

He would be embarrassed if he brought the same as them.

He initially thought his wife had gotten rid of her petty mindset and did something to make them proud.

But unexpectedly, she even spoke about it and complained that the gifts from others were not as good as theirs.

Sister-in-law Feng didn’t take it seriously, "I wasn’t comparing, am I not speaking the truth? Such a small child, how much can they even use clothes and quilts? It’s better to buy them fabric and let them make it themselves over time. I chose the gift with so much thought, who am I doing this for?"

Feng Dajun felt that they were not on the same page anymore and found it increasingly difficult to communicate with his wife.

But remembering that they still have to live in the family housing, he patiently explained, "But saying it like that, won’t it offend people? You meant well, but does it mean others who brought clothes and quilts didn’t mean well?"

"They are all your subordinates, aren’t they? Why are you still afraid of offending them?"

"It’s not about fear, forget it, let’s wash our feet and go to sleep," he felt that no matter what he said, it was in vain.

Sister-in-law Feng snorted, not feeling there was any issue on her part, just that her husband was too cautious.

He had checked, apart from Li Wei and his wife, the other two also came from rural areas, none were nobler than others, they were still his subordinates, what was there to fear?

Sister-in-law Feng took a large kettle outside to boil water, noticing that the neighbors hadn’t gone to bed yet, she greeted Sister-in-law Feng.

Knowing that Sister-in-law Feng attended Li Wei’s son’s one-month celebration today, they also cheerfully spoke, "That Li Wei’s wife is truly fortunate. This afternoon, I saw her from afar, and just as she stepped outside, her mother-in-law called her back, saying she might catch a cold. She has just completed her ’sitting-the-month,’ why fear the wind? When I had my child back in my hometown, I hadn’t even finished sitting the month before I started cooking and washing clothes for the whole family."

Sister-in-law Feng thought of Jiang Hong and Jiang Hong’s mother-in-law, indeed jealousy-inducing.

"Jiang Hong has a good life, her mother-in-law takes care of everything so thoroughly, must have amassed good fortune over many lifetimes."

"You can tell, I saw Jiang Hong gained quite some weight during her ’sitting-the-month’, obviously no worries on her part."

After chatting briefly, they each carried their water back to their homes.

Sister-in-law Feng, carrying the water back, prepared the foot-wash water for her husband while still thinking about their earlier conversation.

Thinking about the scenes witnessed tonight, her envy was uncontrollable, and thinking about herself, she couldn’t help but sigh.

"Jiang Hong really has a good life, just gave birth to a son. Look how happy Li Wei is, and her mother-in-law, I’ve never seen any mother-in-law that speaks so kindly to her daughter-in-law. And Jiang Hong just keeps sweetly calling her ’mom’."

As she placed the water next to her husband, she suddenly asked, "What if Jiang Hong had a girl, would Li Wei’s mom still treat her this well?"

Feng Dajun frowned, "What are you rambling about now? Can’t you stand it if someone’s mother-in-law treats their daughter-in-law well? Li Wei’s mother’s temperament is naturally gentle..."

"So, my mother’s temper is bad, which is why she’s always causing trouble for no reason, not because I gave birth to a girl and it threatens your Feng family’s continuation that she treats me this way?"

Before Feng Dajun could finish, Sister-in-law Feng coldly cut him off.

Feng Dajun’s frown deepened, "What has my mother done to you? Can you please stop being unreasonable? Back in our hometown, you always complained about my mother; now that you’ve come out here with me, you still look down on her. If she really favored boys over girls, why would she dote on Lili from my older brother’s family so much? Lili grew up under her care."

"You admit she favors your brother’s Lili and looks down on our Jingjing? When I said this before, you accused me of making trouble. Of course, she likes Lili; that’s her first grandchild, and soon after, your brother had a son. Why wouldn’t she like them? As for us, we just have Jingjing, a girl, and you are a permanent worker not allowed a second child. I suspect she wishes our whole family would just serve your brother so that his son inherits everything, our lands are practically theirs now, will there even be a place for you in this village in a few years?"
