Chapter 1236: Chapter 1232: To Hell with Carrying on the Family Line (Second Update)

Hearing his mother’s blunt and distasteful words, Ge Sandan’s expression changed.

However, he ultimately didn’t argue with Aunt Ge. He quickly walked to the door of the kitchen, and as soon as he opened it, he saw Xiuxiu, who had been standing there for who knows how long.

Ge Sandan’s heart felt as if it had been suddenly pierced by something.

"Xiu..."

Ge Sandan was about to call Xiuxiu’s name when she stopped him.

Xiuxiu shook her head at Ge Sandan, her eyes red, clearly showing she had been crying.

Ge Sandan knew that Xiuxiu had heard everything his mother said!

Ge Sandan took Xiuxiu to the backyard and embraced her tightly.

"Xiuxiu, don’t worry. I won’t divorce you. In this lifetime, I, Ge Sandan, will only have you as my wife, whether or not we have sons!"

Ge Sandan’s words comforted Yu Xiuxiu, but she still felt a deep discomfort.

Perhaps, as Shuangshuang said, not seeing it would mean not being hurt by it!

"Brother Sandan, I want to go to Shuangshuang’s place tonight. Tomorrow morning, I’ll go to town to find my brother!

You can stay here to look after Mom or do whatever else!" said Yu Xiuxiu.

"I’ll go with you. I’ve already mentioned the matter of going to town to my mom. I can also look after you," Ge Sandan said.

Yu Xiuxiu shook her head, "No, I want to try living on my own, taking Chunhua with me. Rest assured, I won’t do anything to wrong you!"

This was a sudden thought in Xiuxiu’s mind!

She feared that if the day really came when she had to part with Sandan,

with her mother-in-law’s temperament, she certainly wouldn’t want Chunhua, and she, for the sake of her daughter, must live on her own!

Or, she could ask Shuangshuang what she should do!

"Xiuxiu..." Ge Sandan’s face showed a pained expression.

He knew what Xiuxiu was thinking, and her discomfort caused him discomfort as well.

"Don’t say anymore, Brother Sandan, let’s just decide it this way! I want to try living alone. I’ll pack up some things, and you can take me to Shuangshuang’s place!"

Unable to go against his wife, Ge Sandan took advantage of the twilight, carried the little girl Chunhua, supported Xiuxiu, and went to Er Gui Village.

Mu Shuangshuang had just gotten home when Ge Sandan arrived with the child, bringing Xiuxiu and her family.

She was very surprised and originally wanted to ask Ge Sandan something, but he put the child down and left without a word!

It seemed he wanted Mu Shuangshuang to find out something from Xiuxiu.

However, Mu Shuangshuang didn’t ask, fearing it would upset Xiuxiu!

She spent a bit of time helping Xiuxiu amuse Little Chunhua, and then Mrs. Bai and Yu Si Niang took the little girl to their side.

The chubby little girl drew the attention of everyone in the family, both young and old.

"Xiuxiu, make yourself at home here. If there’s anything you want to eat or do, just tell us!"

Yu Si Niang said kindly to Xiuxiu.

Meanwhile, she didn’t forget to tease Little Chunhua.

"Thank you, Auntie!" Xiuxiu replied.

Mu Shuangshuang, seeing it was about time, noticed Lu Yuanfeng and Cheng Dagang approaching from a distance.

She said, "It’s time for dinner, Xiuxiu. Tonight we have pork rib and corn soup; you should have a few bowls! What about Chunhua, what does she eat? Rice porridge or rice soup? Or something else?"

Mu Shuangshuang glanced at Xiuxiu’s chest.

Xiuxiu’s face instantly turned red.

"I don’t have any. I lost it when I was pregnant!" she explained.

Mu Shuangshuang’s face also turned red. She hadn’t had children yet, so she didn’t understand these things!

"Usually, I just feed her some porridge or rice gruel, or soup will do!" Xiuxiu said.

"Then let’s feed her some corn soup. As for porridge, I’ll go make some in the earthen pot now. Porridge made this way is soft and perfect for little ones!"

After Mu Shuangshuang finished speaking, Xiuxiu felt she was about to cry.

At home, she would make porridge every day for her daughter. She had thought of using the earthen pot, but her mother-in-law said it was for making soup.

The soup, more accurately, was for the child in her belly.

Even though she was her own child’s grandmother, she wasn’t as considerate as an outsider.

Unaware of Xiuxiu’s thoughts, Mu Shuangshuang went inside, rinsed the rice and started a fire, beginning to make porridge.

By the time she was done and came out, Lu Yuanfeng and Cheng Dagang were already seated in the courtyard.

Everyone was ready to eat, but Yu Si Niang directly said, "You all eat, I’ll play with the little one for a while!"

Mrs. Bai chimed in, "I won’t eat either, I’ll help Si Niang with the baby!"

With two adults watching, the little one was well taken care of.

After dinner, Mu Shuangshuang did something unprecedented; she didn’t wash the dishes or clean the chopsticks.

Instead, she chatted with Xiuxiu in the room.

Mu Shuangshuang’s own room, with her large bed, could easily accommodate her, Xiuxiu, and the little one.

The only worry was that the little one might not be safe sleeping on such a bed.

Mu Shuangshuang and Xiuxiu each took a side, tightly protecting Little Chunhua.

Early the next morning, Mu Shuangshuang borrowed a horse carriage from Wang Fugui’s home and took Xiuxiu to town.

As soon as she arrived at the restaurant, she went straight to Yu Dahai.

Yu Dahai nearly burst into tears upon seeing his sister.

He said, "Why are you alone? Where’s Sandan? Why didn’t he come?"

Yu Xiuxiu briefly told Yu Dahai about her situation.

Yu Dahai jumped up in agitation.

"That old hag, how... how dare she?"

Yu Dahai had always been a courteous person, and ever since he became the steward of Chengfeng Restaurant, dealing with all kinds of people, his temper had improved significantly.

But hearing of his sister’s plight, he lost control!

"Brother, don’t be like this! It’s my fault; what wife doesn’t bear sons for the family, what wife doesn’t try to continue the family line?"

Xiuxiu tried to console Yu Dahai.

But the more she said, the more upset Yu Dahai became!

"To hell with continuing the family line! Why should my sister suffer like this? And my little niece, what did she do wrong?"

Yu Dahai asked.

"Brother, please don’t say anymore. I came this time to seek refuge with you!

Shuangshuang said she has a place in town for me to stay, but I don’t want to trouble her!

Brother, could you... rent a house in town and bring sister-in-law and the kids over? I’ll help take care of the house and pay the rent!"

When she said this, Xiuxiu looked exceptionally pitiable.

Actually, with Yu Dahai’s earnings these days, it was nearly enough to buy a small house in town.

If he wanted to bring his wife and children over, he could!

But even then, it wouldn’t solve his sister’s problem!

"Xiuxiu, let’s not worry about that for now! I think you still need to make things clear to that old hag! Why should she treat you as just a childbearing tool?

I didn’t know before, but if I had, I would never have shown that old hag any respect!

Did she think her son was made of gold? Back then, if we hadn’t wanted her son, who else would?"

Yu Dahai still remembered when Ge Sandan limped into their house.

Even then, he didn’t think much of Ge Sandan.

"Brother, this has nothing to do with Brother Sandan, and I forbid you from speaking of him like that!"
