Chen Qian said, "Mom’s main concern is that Xiaoxi isn’t pregnant yet. I believe that once Xiaoxi gets pregnant, these problems will be easily resolved."
All of Grandmother Wu’s dissatisfaction stems from Shangguan Xi not being pregnant.
She’s 94 years old and doesn’t have many years left in her life, so Chen Qian could understand her feelings.
Both Shangguan Xi and Wu Chenjun are physically healthy, so getting pregnant is just a matter of time, which is why Chen Qian isn’t worried.
Upstairs.
Grandmother Wu was so angry that her face was distorted, "It’s already enough that I can’t mention her not having children, and now she’s even blaming me for meddling too much! Am I really meddling?"
Cao Xiaomei was soothing Grandmother Wu, "Grandma, don’t be angry. I believe the auntie is just temporarily fooled by Shangguan Xi. I’m sure that one day she’ll see Shangguan Xi’s true colors."
Grandmother Wu patted Cao Xiaomei’s hand, "Xiaomei, I’m lucky to have you by my side."
When one is angry, it’s necessary to have someone to offer guidance. Otherwise, the more one thinks about it, the angrier one gets, and it’s easy to get stuck in a rut and unable to get out.
Cao Xiaomei smiled, "This shows that we’re destined to be close."
"Right," Grandmother Wu nodded her head.
Upstairs, Shangguan Xi and Wu Chenjun were sweetly having breakfast together, completely unaware of the battle that had taken place downstairs.
Mid-March is Ni Cuihua’s birthday.
Shangguan Xi and Wu Chenjun went to buy a birthday gift a day in advance, planning to head to Jinghua Village the next day to celebrate Ni Cuihua’s birthday.
Grandmother Wu found Shangguan Xi alone, "Xiaoxi, I heard you’re going back to your mother’s home tomorrow?"
Shangguan Xi nodded, "Yes, it’s my mom’s birthday tomorrow."
Grandmother Wu continued, "Then take Xiaomei with you."
Shangguan Xi was stunned, not understanding what Grandmother Wu meant.
Grandmother Wu explained, "Xiaomei is a girl without many relatives and friends in Beijing. She’s bored spending all her time with an old lady like me, so I thought it would be good for her to get out, relax, and meet some new people, especially since there are several girls about Xiaomei’s age at your mother’s place, right?"
Actually, Grandmother Wu just wanted to create an opportunity for Cao Xiaomei.
