Translator: 549690339
The family enjoyed their al cheerfully, laughter spilling out into the courtyard. The passing villagers on their way ho felt envious as they thought about how harmonious the Qin family always was, filled with laughter, unlike other families that were constantly bickering, with small quarrels every three days and major argunts every five days.
After everyone finished eating, Nangong Shulan tidied up the dishes and chopsticks.
Mr. Qin and Qin Yu continued to clean up the materials they used for making green balls.
Grandpa Qin and Qin Jiale continued with their ongoing, evenly matched ga of chess, while Grandma Qin sat nearby watching the two play.
Once Nangong Shulan had finished tidying up, she brewed a pot of chrysanthemum tea and set it on the table.
“Mom, would you like so tea?” Nangong Shulan asked Mrs. Qin.
“Give a cup, and have a seat,” Grandma Qin motioned to a chair nearby, inviting her daughter-in-law to sit.
Nangong Shulan placed a cup of tea in front of Mrs. Qin and sat in the chair indicated.
“Mom, do you have sothing to tell ?” Nangong Shulan inquired, unsure what Mrs. Qin wanted to say.
“Yes, I heard from Xiao Yu that Qin Xue is pregnant. Is this true?” Mrs. Qin asked her daughter-in-law.
“It’s true. Qin Xue wrote about it in her letter,” Nangong Shulan said, fetching the letter to show Mrs. Qin.
“Here, mom, this is the letter Qin Xue wrote.” Nangong Shulan handed the letter to Mrs. Qin.
Mrs. Qin took the letter and began to read it. She was literate, which was part of why she had been so easily accepting of Nangong Shulan as her daughter-in-law.
Perhaps this was the difference in perspective between those who were educated and those who were not. Different perspectives led to different views of the world.
After Mrs. Qin finished reading, she folded the letter and put it away before returning it to Nangong Shulan.
“So what are your specific plans?” Mrs. Qin asked, looking at her daughter-in-law.
“I want to go see Qin Xue and tell her about so things she should be careful of.
And I want to give her so guidance on how to handle things. Everyone pampered her when she was at ho, loving her dearly, but no one told her how to face these challenges and how to survive on her own.
She has been away from us for several months, and I’ve been worried all this ti.
Now that she’s about to beco a mother, I can’t help but worry if I don’t go see her,” Nangong Shulan said wistfully.
“It’s good to go see her, so you can be more at ease. Don’t worry about the house, I will co over regularly to check on things,” Mrs. Qin was also missing her eldest granddaughter.
The child in Qin Xue’s belly would be the first great-grandchild in the Qin family.
“Alright, thank you, mom,” Nangong Shulan said to Mrs. Qin with gratitude.
Nangong Shulan had originally planned to go visit Qin Xue in the army, but she wasn’t feeling secure about leaving the house. Now that her mother-in-law had reassured her, she felt more at ease.
“You’re being too polite! Qin Xue is my granddaughter too. Now that she has such good news, I can’t be there, but I should help you watch the house so you can go see her.”
“That way, everyone can have peace of mind, right?” Mrs. Qin’s face was filled with kindness.
Nangong Shulan was deeply touched. This elderly woman had helped her when she was most helpless and always treated her like a real daughter. It was sothing she never dared to dream of, but it happened to her.
Sotis, Nangong Shulan wondered if she had done so extraordinary good deeds in her past life.
That would explain why she had such wonderful family mbers in this life.
Even if she never found her lost relatives, Nangong Shulan would have no regrets.
Because there were no in-laws as open-minded as hers in the entire Qin village, and no daughter-in-law in other families could happily carry on with what they wanted to do without interference from their mother-in-law. So, wasn’t her luck truly good? Therefore, she had to cherish this hard-won fate..
