Chapter 629 There's a kind of thinness called "feminine" - you look thin.
After Wang Fu finished giving the notification, Xu Tingting was the first to return. She almost ran all the way back and was still out of breath when she entered the yard.
"You're finally back." Xu Tingting's voice was filled with joy. But when she saw the child in Du Mingxian's arms, she pointed at the child in shock, "Is...is he your child?"
"Yes." Du Mingxian was quite happy to see that Xu Tingting seemed to have changed no matter what over the years. "Want a hug?"
"Can I...can I?"
"Why not? I'll teach you."
Du Mingxian taught Xu Tingting how to hold a baby. After Xu Tingting picked up the baby, she became stiff and unresponsive, as if she were holding a time bomb.
"Don't be so stiff. If you're uncomfortable, he'll be uncomfortable too."
"But I... I'm afraid that if I use too much force, I'll hurt him. I'm also afraid that if I don't use enough force, the baby will fall. He's so soft. I'm so scared." Xu Tingting was really nervous.
Seeing her like this, Du Mingxian reached out and took the child from her, saying, "I'll hold the child myself."
Xu Tingting felt a sense of relief as her arms lightened. "It was really difficult. It looked simple, but holding it in my arms was quite scary."
Grandma Xu, sitting to the side, was speechless when she saw Xu Tingting like this. "You child, look at Mingxian's child. If you had given birth earlier, you would already have two children by now."
"Grandma, I don't want to get married. I just want to stay by your side, and stay with my dad and aunt." Xu Tingting felt that her life was good now and had no desire to get married or any other thoughts about it.
Moreover, she knew in her heart that although they looked like a family now, she was still a servant that Du Mingxian had bought, and her affairs were still decided by her master.
I used to be clueless in the countryside, but now that I've been in the county for a while, I know a bit about the lives of wealthy families. Those people are unlucky; they get bought and sold. Beatings and scoldings are the least of their worries; they might even be killed.
So every time she encountered such a thing, she was extremely grateful that it was Du Mingxian who bought them, and that Du Mingxian did so to buy a maternal home for her aunt.
How wonderful, how wonderful! All the good fortune in my life has come from meeting Du Mingxian.
Grandma Xu didn't particularly want Xu Tingting to get married; things were fine as they were. But sometimes, seeing her all alone, she felt she should find a husband and have a man by her side to protect her.
"If you don't get married soon, I'm afraid people will start saying that our family is crazy, with four masters and all four of them single."
"No, Mingxian is back now. Auntie has been struggling with this issue. If it's possible, we can get married directly. It would be good to have Mingxian give us her opinion."
Du Mingxian was surprised when she heard this.
Grandma Xu glanced at Xu Tingting disapprovingly, and said to Du Mingxian's questioning, "It's not a big deal, it's just that your mother has someone pursuing her."
What are your thoughts, Mother?
"Your mother was always worried about you, she didn't have the mind to think about anything else. It was all one-sided on her part. But she cared a lot about your mother, she would go to the shop to look for her every day, and she would pick her up and drop her off in the morning and evening." Old Mrs. Xu didn't say anything, they had no right to speak, the one who was most qualified was Du Mingxian.
Du Mingxian was quite surprised, but she didn't mind her mother going to another family. As long as it was good for her mother and she was willing, she had no objection.
Seeing that Du Mingxian remained silent, Old Lady Xu said, "Don't worry, Wang Fu will definitely take the carriage to find your mother. When your mother comes back, see what she has to say to you. You can ask her then."
"it is good."
Seeing that it was almost time, Grandma Xu said, "Tingting, go and tell someone to prepare the meal. I reckon your aunt and your father will be able to come in by the time the meal is ready, and the timing will be just right."
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Just as Old Mrs. Xu had said, Da Zhou and Xu Dazhuang returned just as the food was ready.
As soon as Madam Zhou entered the courtyard, she saw Ling Silang carrying a child in his arms and walking around. She could hear Old Madam Xu talking to her daughter from the main room.
She strode forward.
When Ling Silang saw Da Zhou Shi coming over, he quickly called out, "Mother."
"Oh, Si Lang." Madam Zhou responded, not even bothering to look closely at what Ling Si Lang was holding in his arms, her mind solely focused on her daughter, and hurried inside.
Du Mingxian was talking to Old Madam Xu and Xu Tingting when she saw Madam Zhou come in. She quickly stood up and said, "Mother."
Having lived several lifetimes, my biggest worry is still my mother. However, things are better now than in my previous life. My mother now has family members to protect her. Even though these people are servants she bought, they have done a very good job.
"Mingxian." Madam Zhou rushed forward and hugged her daughter tightly, tears streaming down her face. "You never send messages home when you go out. The messages you send back are getting less and less each day, which makes us more and more worried."
"I'm sorry, Mother, it's all my fault," Du Mingxian quickly apologized.
After the two separated, Madam Zhou took a good look at her. Seeing that she was alright and seemed to have even grown taller, but was very thin, she said, "Don't you eat properly? Look how thin you are."
"Mom, I'm fine, I'm perfectly healthy."
Madam Zhou was truly heartbroken for her. "Now that you're back, eat well and don't have to travel around anymore. Let's focus on helping you recover your health."
Previously, the Du family's daughter was in poor health, and she finally recovered somewhat in the Ling family. However, her son-in-law had an accident, and the two of them went abroad to study.
Those who travel must have suffered a lot.
"Okay, I won't leave for now. I'll eat well and see if I can recover and make Mother happy."
Du Mingxian's words pleased Madam Zhou.
"You silly girl, all you do is try to make your mother happy. If you ate properly, you wouldn't be so thin. Your face is even smaller than when you left."
"This mother needs to hear my explanation."
Da Zhou rolled her eyes at her, "Don't make excuses. Do you think I need to hear your explanations? As long as you eat well, you can definitely recover."
Just then, little An'an became reluctant to be held by Ling Silang and started crying in the yard.
As soon as Du Mingxian heard the child crying, she immediately went outside. Madam Zhou was a little confused, "Where did this child come from?"
Ling Silang had already carried An'an inside the door. Du Mingxian went over and took the child. "You little rascal, are you unhappy because you heard that Grandma came back and didn't hold you? Come on, let's let Grandma see you."
Madam Zhou was utterly shocked. Looking at the tiny baby in Du Mingxian's arms, tears welled up in her eyes again, and her hands trembled slightly. "Mingxian, what is this?"
"Mom, your grandson, can I have a hug?"
"Okay, okay." Madam Zhou reached out and took the child, overjoyed. After her initial excitement, she remembered to ask softly, "Boy or girl?"
"boy."
When Madam Zhou heard that it was a boy, she was overjoyed.
