Translator: 549690339
In Qin family village, Qin Chaoyang went to his father-in-law’s house to pick up his daughter Qin Qiu.
After Qin Lei cooked the meal, he invited his parents, brother, sister-in-law, and niece to come to his house for dinner.
“Big brother, sister-in-law, Xiao Qiu, eat fish.” Qin Lei invited his brother, sister-in-law, and niece to eat fish while putting a piece of fish with few bones in each of his parents’ bowls.
“Xiao Qiu, it’s better not to have that kind of man. Don’t be sad.” Mrs. Qin comforted her granddaughter by giving her a piece of fish with her chopsticks as she saw her looking gloomy.
“Grandma.” Hearing her grandmother’s words, Qin Qiu’s tears immediately started to fall.
“Xiao Qiu, don’t cry. We don’t need such a thing. We will find a good one for you in the future, so let him regret it.” Mrs. Qin was getting a bit anxious and upset.
“That’s right, Xiao Qiu, if you like soldiers, we can ask Qin Xue to find you a soldier in the army. Our Xiao Qiu is such a good girl that there’s no need for her to be with that kind of irresponsible man.” Qin Lei felt sad in his heart, thinking that his nice niece had met such a worthless person. How could anyone not be upset about this?
“Uncle, I know, but I’m just sad. How could he do this?” Qin Qiu was truly heartbroken. They were about to get married, and now things had turned out like this. If word got out, what would she do in the future? Who would dare to propose marriage to her?
“Qiu, it’s all our fault. We didn’t make proper inquiries before agreeing to your engagement.” Qin Chaoyang said to his daughter, despondent.
“Dad, what are you talking about? How can you blame yourself?” When Qin Qiu heard her father’s words, she dared not continue to feel heartbroken. Her parents had worked so hard and sacrificed so much for her and her sibling. Besides, her father would never want this to happen. How could she blame him?
“Alright, let’s not talk about it anymore. Let’s eat first.” Grandpa Qin spoke up.
“Okay, dad, grandpa.” Qin Lei and the others responded in unison.
When Qin Yu and his mother Nangong Shulan arrived home, it was almost dark.
“Dad, we’re back.” Qin Yu shouted into the house as soon as he entered.
Qin Lei, who was inside, heard the shout and came out to see his wife and son.
“Why didn’t you let us know in advance when you came back?” Qin Lei hurried over to take the luggage from his wife, asking with some reproach.
“We made a last-minute decision to come back, and there wasn’t enough time, so we didn’t tell you.” Nangong Shulan handed the luggage to her husband.
“You should have said something anyway. If something happened, it would have made everyone worry.” Qin Lei talked to his wife as he put down the luggage.
“Uh, where’s Qin Xue? Didn’t you say she was coming back with you? Why don’t I see her?” Qin Lei looked behind his wife and son but didn’t see his daughter’s figure.
“Qin Xue had something come up, so she’s not coming back with us for now.” Nangong Shulan sat down in a chair, tapping her leg. The car ride had been quite tiring.
“Did something happen to Qin Xue?” Qin Lei asked anxiously.
“It’s not a big deal; she might just have a premature birth. I was worried about it, so I asked Xiao Yu to bring me back.
I will let Jiale and Xiao Yu accompany Qin Xue after I come back, and when Qin Xue gives birth, I will go back to serve her confinement period.” Nangong Shulan told her husband the result of their discussion.
“That works, but why might Qin Xue have a premature birth?” Qin Lei asked in confusion.
“Qin Xue is carrying twins.” Nangong Shulan looked at her husband and said slowly.
“Alright, I understand.” Qin Lei knew when Nangong Shulan mentioned twins, as she had also given birth prematurely, but only by a short time.
“You guys haven’t eaten yet, right? I’ll cook some noodles for you.” Qin Lei asked his wife after he put away the luggage.
“Yes, I’m quite hungry.” Although Qin Xue had packed them a lot of food, Nangong Shulan hadn’t eaten much on the train.
