MTLNOVEL Chapter 630: Want to Have a Child
"Ningning, let me do something!" He couldn't feel at ease if he didn't do something. He was terrified that if he fell asleep and woke up, he would find out that everything had been a dream and there would be nothing left.
"How about I help Qigang deal with his punishment?" Grandpa suddenly had a whimsical idea.
"..." Xu Qigang gave a helpless wry smile. Did he look like someone who relied on nepotism?
"No, no, no…" Sheng Ning quickly intervened. "You should let him get more rest instead!"
"That's true! You two just got married; Qigang should really spend more time with you." Grandpa then realized he had suggested a bad idea, and he was instantly quite vexed. His grandson-in-law was so outstanding that he didn't need his connections at all.
Grandpa suddenly felt the future was not so bright. His granddaughter was excellent, and his grandson-in-law was even more so, leaving him no chance to exert his leadership and power!
For the first time in his life, he wanted to use his position to pressure others, but it turned out he couldn't.
"They are newlyweds, after all, and should indeed spend quality time with Ningning." Others agreed too.
Luhua even said with a smile, "Grandpa, you're being biased. Giving red envelopes to your granddaughter but not to your grandson-in-law? That doesn't seem right, does it?"
"Here, here, here…" Grandpa happily handed out the red envelopes, wishing he could go home and give away all his money to feel more at peace.

After handing out the red envelopes, a few men sat down to chat together, and everyone enjoyed spending time with Grandpa. Sheng Ning followed Luhua into the kitchen to help out. There were a lot of leftover dishes from the feast at home, offering a rich variety for Sheng Ning to showcase her cooking skills.
As the two walked into the kitchen, Sheng Ning nodded repeatedly at the sight.
Before, she had thought her mother couldn't cook, but after marrying into the Xu family, she realized her mother was actually very capable. This kitchen was completely different!
Luhua closed the kitchen door and whispered to Sheng Ning, "How is it? Tell me, how is Qigang treating you?"
Sheng Ning blushed, knowing she couldn't avoid this topic. "Very well, very well…"
"I knew it!" Luhua exclaimed excitedly. "You can tell he's not like ordinary people just by his physique."
"…" Mom, is it really appropriate for you to be so open suddenly? Do you think this is something you should say in front of your daughter?
Luhua waved her hand nonchalantly, "When you were a maiden, there were some things I couldn't say to you, but now you're married, and it's different. So, I must say what I need to say."
"Mom, go ahead, I'm listening."
"You are young and beautiful now, and you perform well in the General Union Song and Dance Troupe, which is your most glorious moment. But I want to tell you, never be blinded by superficial things; family is what matters most. It's very important that you and Qigang have a child," Luhua and Mr. Sheng were most worried that Sheng Ning, being young and naive, would prioritize beauty over having children.
She had seen too many colleagues in the Song and Dance Troupe who didn't want children because they feared it would affect their figures. They kept fighting with their families about not having children, which led to poor relations with their in-laws and eventual divorces.
"Mom, don't worry, I want to have a child." Having been lonely and unsupported in her previous life, no one could understand her desire more to have a child, to have a child with the Living Yama.
"Really?" Luhua's eyes widened as she hadn't expected Sheng Ning to be so sensible. "You're not lying to me, are you?"
"Of course not! Dancing is important, but having children is even more so. I know the difference. Moreover, Qigang is almost thirty. Kids his age in the village can already take care of themselves, and my mother-in-law is also very anxious." These past few days, Sheng Ning had thought a lot and had also discussed having children with her mother-in-law.
