Rebirth of a Village Girl

Chapter 1216: 301: Joy of having a precious daughter!_3

“You are young! But I’m about to die! The only wish I have before dying is to hold my great-grandchild!” said Old Mrs. Wu.

Wu Chenjun now understood why his parents decided to go abroad for a vacation, and why Shangguan Xi returned to her parents’ home…

It must be because the old lady had been nagging them about it.

“Grandma, you are in good health! Don’t say such inauspicious things! Like I just said, it’s not that I don’t want to have kids, it’s that there would be no one to take care of them! Xiaoxi and I are both so busy, we can’t possibly expect you to watch them for us!”

“You can hire a nanny!”

“What if the nanny doesn’t treat the child well?” asked Wu Chenjun.

Old Mrs. Wu said, “I’ll be watching! I dare her to mistreat my great-grandchild!”

Wu Chenjun smiled and said, “Grandma, I understand how you feel, but I truly don’t want kids right now! Can’t you sympathize with your grandson?”

“I sympathize with you, but who is going to sympathize with me?” Old Mrs. Wu continued, “Chenjun, tell me the truth, is it Xiaoxi who doesn’t want kids? Chenjun, how can you let a woman make this decision! Just because she says she doesn’t want them, you both don’t have a child? Do you even have any masculinity?”

Shangguan Xi was someone Old Mrs. Wu watched grow up, and she liked this girl very much.

The only conflict between them was the issue of having children.

Having children is a woman’s business, so she never rushed Wu Chenjun; she was always urging Shangguan Xi.

Perhaps Shangguan Xi got tired of hearing it and decided to pack up and go back to her parents’ home.

She had been there for two days, and today was the third.

“No, no,” Wu Chenjun said, “Grandma, don’t talk nonsense, it’s not Xiaoxi’s fault! It’s me who doesn’t want kids!”

In order to avoid any unnecessary conflicts, Wu Chenjun could only take all the responsibility onto himself.

If Old Mrs. Wu found out that they had been trying to conceive for a long time, but Shangguan Xi hadn’t gotten pregnant, she might cause a real fuss!

Fortunately, he had two sensible parents!

If all three old people at home started making a scene, he really couldn’t handle it.

“Is it really you?” Old Mrs. Wu squinted her eyes.

Wu Chenjun nodded, “Yes, it’s really me!”

“You little scoundrel! Why don’t you want kids?” Old Mrs. Wu slapped Wu Chenjun on the head.

Wu Chenjun said, “I’ve already explained the reason to you, and besides, I don’t like kids.”

Old Mrs. Wu slapped him again, “You brat! What nonsense are you talking! I don’t care! You must give me a child immediately!”

Wu Chenjun said somewhat speechlessly, “Grandma, look, my parents aren’t even anxious, why are you in such a rush? Don’t worry, one day I’ll give you a great-grandchild! But not now.”

“Don’t mention your parents! Just bringing them up makes me angry! Look at them, do they even act like parents? A father without a father’s appearance, a mother without a mother’s disposition!”

How can they even think of traveling at a time like this! Other people’s parents would probably be frantic by now! But those two, they’re acting as if nothing’s wrong!

Wu Chenjun continued, “Alright, Grandma, please don’t be mad. I’ll carefully consider what you said, and now I’m going to visit my mother-in-law’s house.”

“I’ll give you one more month, if there’s still no news after that, don’t call me ‘Grandma’ anymore! I don’t have such a grandson! I’m not an unreasonable old lady who insists Shangguan Xi give our family a boy! We are a progressive family that upholds the slogan of gender equality!”

Old Mrs. Wu considered herself a very reasonable old lady; she neither favors boys over girls, nor does she meddle too much.

She just wants to hold a great-grandchild! She would cherish it regardless of its gender!

What woman doesn’t have children?

Is it really that difficult for Shangguan Xi?

Wu Chenjun offered a helpless smile and arrived at the Ni Family just at three in the afternoon.

“Wu the Third, you’re back from your business trip?” Shangguan Xi was surprised to see Wu Chenjun, “Weren’t you supposed to be away for a week? It’s only been three days!”

“I missed you, so I came back early.” Wu Chenjun sneaked a kiss on Shangguan Xi, “By the way, these are the gifts I brought for our grandparents, Grandma, and for our dad and mom! Specialties from Liu City!”

“Not bad, you’re quite a filial son-in-law!” Shangguan Xi said with a smile.

Wu Chenjun said, “Would I be able to marry you if I weren’t filial?”
