Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 416 I'm Just Fat

Liu Manqiang closed her eyes, knowing that things were going to get bad. As expected, Zhao Yue's angry voice almost blew the roof off her head: "Mother, you are going too far! Nian Nu hasn't even married yet!"

"What does the Liu family have? Your grandparents are like this, and you are like this too. What's going on? Is there some powerful position in the Liu family that you want to inherit?"

Zhao Yue was furious, and Xiao Jiang silently added in his heart: Congratulations, you guessed it right, a small country that has lost the throne of the old elder for a long time.

Liu Manqiang's face froze when she heard this. Her grandson hadn't told his mother about this yet, and she didn't want Zhao Yue to know about it. This girl was making a fuss, and all she knew about was her husband having a bunch of concubines. If she knew about this, she would definitely let the Cui family know.

Their Liu family's affairs...

The fewer people who know, the better.

"Do you really want to see the Liu family die out?" Liu Manqiang said with a gloomy face.

When Lianhuan heard the noise from this side, he immediately cleared the area and took his people down. Being a maid in a wealthy family requires good eyesight.

Jiang Shangxian watched them file out, wishing he could stretch out his hand and walk with them.

She couldn't bear this scene!

Zhao Yue's stubbornness didn't resemble a middle-aged woman at all. Instead, she acted like a rebellious little sister. "Did I cause the Liu family to become extinct? What does it have to do with me if my grandfather can't give birth to a son? And what does it have to do with Nian Nu and Jiu Lang?"

This made sense. Xiao Jiang nodded repeatedly and quietly gave her mother-in-law a thumbs up.

Liu Manqiang also refuted without hesitation: "I asked Nian Nu about this matter, not you. Why do I need you to take the lead?"

As she spoke, she turned her head towards Jiang Shangxian: "Nian Nu, speak!"

Xiaojiang:? ? ?

Being stared at by two pairs of eyes, Jiang Shangxian looked from one to the other, revealing an awkward yet polite smile: "Grandmother, offspring cannot be forced. Don't look at me as strong, I'm actually just fat..."

Zhao Yue took over the conversation: "That's right, Jiulang said that Nian Nu has always been weak, and childbirth for women is like going through hell. You want her to give up the child she gave birth to with so much difficulty, which is really too much to ask!"

She subconsciously chose to ignore the way Jiang Shangxian cursed without taking a breath.

The frail Xiao Jiang, unable to take care of himself, touched his forehead and shook it at the right time: "Grandma, Mother..."

Liu Manqiang could see that the two of them were trying to get over the matter, and just as she was about to speak, she felt someone gently pulling her from behind.

It’s Zheng Qiuyi.

This meal brought her mind back to normal, and she instantly realized that she was still too anxious.

Cui Bianxu rejected her once last night, but she didn't take it to heart. After all, her grandson is already this old, and it is better to adopt a great-grandson than a grandson. Only those who are raised since childhood will be close to the Liu family.

As soon as she saw Jiang Shangxian today, she became interested.

Everything in the Liu family, whether it is the witchcraft passed down by the ancestor or the Feng Shui technique studied by the great ancestor, has a fatal weakness - it is difficult to have offspring.

She said that Jiang Shangxian was blessed with many children and was not exaggerating, and her granddaughter-in-law did give birth to a child with a blessed appearance.

The child born from such a person is unlikely to change the Liu family's issue of offspring.

As soon as Zhao Yue saw her mother's expression, she knew she hadn't given up yet. She pointed towards the next yard with a sneer and said, "Even if Nian Nu wants to give birth, it will be a descendant of the Cui family. The Cui family's aunt is right next to her. Mother, why don't you go and ask her if the Cui family is willing?"

What are you asking? Bullshit!

Of course Liu Manqiang wouldn't ask. She only asked because she thought Chang'an was far away from Qinghe. In the future, Jiang Shangxian and Cui Bianxu would live together in Chang'an. If one of them didn't let the Cui family know about the pregnancy...

"I just mentioned it that way. I don't want to do it."

With that, Liu Manqiang turned around and left, not wanting to argue with Zhao Yue anymore.

Seeing this, Zhao Yue was like a victorious general. He put one hand on his waist and held his head high, waiting for them to leave the yard. Then he suddenly relaxed and took out a handkerchief to fan his face. "Oh, I was scared to death. I thought she was going to attack me!"

Jiang Shangxian: No, is there any competition between you mother and daughter that has not been played out?

Zhao Yue fanned herself and pulled Jiang Shangxian to sit down with one hand. "Just pretend you didn't hear what grandma said. Don't take it to heart. If she comes to you to talk about this again, come and tell me!"

Jiang Shangxian nodded obediently, the shadow of having many children still looming in her heart: "Madam... I really can't give birth to so many..."

She is not the heroine in a brainless CEO novel—the wife has given birth to 1,800 children and is still giving birth!

Live! Live to the death!

“Why give birth to so many?”

Zhao Yue herself only gave birth to one child, and although she also hoped to have more grandchildren, as I said just now, giving birth is not an easy task for women. How can she give birth to as many children as others say?

She originally thought that she was tall and healthy, so having five or six children would be no problem.

The results of it?

Isn't there only one seedling?

However, as someone who has been through this, she still has to make things clear: "You've seen what happened between me and Yi'er's father. I only gave birth to him, but that heartless man has been bringing other women into the family. This man is fine when he's in love with you, but once it comes to offspring..."

Although he is her own son, they are still close friends after all, Zhao Yue said it impartially.

People's hearts are fickle, who knows what will happen in a few years?

Jiang Shangxian wanted to say that she felt Cui Zhe was not doing this for offspring at all. Maybe it was the case at the beginning, but it was probably not the case later.

Although they have never met, Xiao Jiang has already determined that his future father-in-law Cui Zhe is a playboy who loves beautiful women.

However, Xiao Jiang had a very good attitude. Seeing that her future mother-in-law had no intention of forcing her to be a sow, she nodded in agreement. In the end, she ordered several dishes for lunch and then went home with a full stomach.

Start losing weight at the next meal!

As for the fact that Old Madam Liu wanted a child, she didn't care at all. She didn't need to be involved in this matter. Her son Cui would definitely not agree to it. If she agreed, why would Old Madam Liu come to her to talk about it?

He must have known that Xiao Cui would not agree, so he tried to find a roundabout way to coax this ignorant commoner into agreeing.

Unfortunately, she was wrong. Although Xiao Jiang loved money, as for money, enough was enough. She didn't have to be rich and spend money luxuriously and extravagantly, wearing gold and silver all day long.

Although she now has no feelings or plans for the child, she also knows the basic morality of taking responsibility for having a child. Why should she use the child to exchange for something from the Liu family without the child's consent?

It's not like she and Xiao Cui can't survive without those little things. Normal people who keep cats and dogs would not be willing to exchange them for money, okay?

However, Xiao Jiang has unilaterally decided not to be with Liu Manqiang.
