Chapter 588: Chapter 0548: Make Sure to Bring a Grandson Back Next Year! (1)

Just as he was awkwardly trying to wrap the diaper, the baby suddenly peed all over his face.

Li Xingmao, "..."

Chai Eying clutched her belly and burst out laughing, "How’s the smell? Husband?"

Li Yuwen held onto Li Yuzhu, laughing uncontrollably. She pointed at Li Xingmao, laughing so hard she couldn’t even speak.

Li Xingmao didn’t mind much, he chuckled self-deprecatingly and wiped the kid’s pee off his face with his sleeve.

"Quickly wrap it up again, don’t let the child catch a cold." The Princess Consort chuckled and urged Li Xingmao to hurry up.

Guoguo and Li Jing, who were watching the fun nearby, clapped and laughed together.

"What’s so lively here?" Sister-in-law Chai walked into the bedroom with a smile.

Chai Eying leaned against the headboard and said with a restrained laugh, "Sis, weren’t you coming in the afternoon? You got back late last night, and aren’t you going to get some more sleep?"

"I missed my nephew, so I came as soon as I had breakfast." Sister-in-law Chai walked in holding Chai Tianlang’s hand.

Chai Tianlang shook her off and ran over to see the baby.

The baby, having eaten and peed, was happily yawning, his little fists clenched and waving contentedly.

The three little rascals all crowded over to look.

"Brother Tianlang, look, he can make a fist." Li Jing pointed at the baby’s hand, exclaiming, "Isn’t my brother really smart?"

Everyone else heard this and suppressed their laughter, not wanting to burst his bubble.

Tianlang nodded in surprise, "Yeah, he can actually make a fist!"

Sister-in-law Chai noticed Li Xingmao clumsily getting the child sorted and rocking him in his arms, thought to herself, this Li Dalang really cares about the child.

When men are willing to hold the child, women find it much easier.

Some men think raising children is a woman’s job; men are meant for the big tasks.

When men achieve big things, it’s alright, but when they haven’t accomplished the big things and aren’t willing to do the small things, the woman suffers, juggling kids, housework, and in-laws, causing chaos.

Men should spend more time caring for the kids to understand the hardship women face.

"Let me hold the baby. I came late last night, worried I’d disturb your rest and didn’t get to hold him enough." Sister-in-law Chai smiled as she took the baby from Li Xingmao’s arms.

However, the baby had already fallen asleep.

The three children crowded over to her again to look.

Sister-in-law Chai glanced at the baby and asked with a smile if the Princess Consort had named him yet.

"His grandfather named him Li Yu. In our hometown, boys of Jingjing’s generation all have a name with the character ’sun’ in it." The Princess Consort smiled.

Sister-in-law Chai asked which character it was and how to write it.

Li Xingmao wrote down the character and showed it to her.

Sister-in-law Chai laughed, "Not bad, not bad, a good name."

The Princess Consort said she wanted to prepare lunch, calling both daughters to help, and mentioned that Guoguo and Jingjing might disturb the baby, taking the two children away as well.

With Sister-in-law Chai visiting, it was best to leave time for her to chat with Chai Eying.

Sister-in-law Chai was satisfied with the Princess Consort’s arrangement.

She found an excuse to ask Li Xingmao to help get something, and he went out too.

In the room, there were only Sister-in-law Chai and Chai Eying, along with the less understanding Chai Tianlang, playing around. The baby could be pretty much ignored.

Sister-in-law Chai took the opportunity to ask Chai Eying about her rest last night and what she had eaten this morning.

Chai Eying answered each question.

She knew that her sister-in-law was worried she was being treated unfairly, but the Li Family really couldn’t be faulted, her sister-in-law was worrying needlessly.

"That’s good." Sister-in-law Chai nodded.

She had heard that Li Yuzhu stayed with Chai Eying all night, Chai Eying’s mother-in-law was running a fever yesterday, yet came to see Chai Eying before dawn, and it was Chai Eying’s husband who helped her freshen up. Sister-in-law Chai didn’t say much more.

.

The Princess Consort led Li Yuzhu and Li Yuwen, along with the two children, towards the kitchen.

Guoguo and Jingjing liked Li Yuzhu, pulling her hands from both sides.

The Princess Consort led Li Yuwen at the back.

"Now that Eying has given birth, what about you and Pei Wulang?" The Princess Consort glanced at her eldest daughter and took the chance to prod.

Li Yuwen turned her head away from her mother, "There’s nothing between me and him."

The Princess Consort’s face turned stern; this eldest daughter was pulling the same trick again, "You’re deliberately playing dumb, aren’t you? It’s been two months since you got married, yet I’ve never seen you walking together. Are you two still squabbling?"

Li Yuwen’s face fell, "Mom, that’s not true, you’re speaking nonsense."

"Alright then, I’ll leave you be, but you better bring me a grandchild by this time next year." The Princess Consort wasn’t interested in lecturing her eldest daughter anymore and said with a stern face.

Li Yuwen, "..." This is completely unreasonable!

Being with a man she has no feelings for and then having a child, she felt like she was going crazy.

Li Yuwen sighed with her head down.

Princess Consort Luling led her two daughters into the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Li Yu En was helping Nanny Jiang with the cooking. She couldn’t do much else, but she was very passionate about cooking.

She had rolled up her sleeves, tied on an apron, and was happily stir-frying vegetables with a spatula in hand.

Nanny Jiang was sitting by the stove, managing the fire and feeding it with firewood.

Nanny Jiang saw Princess Consort Luling arrive and, pointing to the corner, laughed and said, "Mrs. Li, look over here. It’s all gifts from Mr. Pei. These are dried fruits for soup, and here is a bucket of live carp."

Princess Consort Luling walked over to look at the carp and said, "Pei Wulang is a meticulous person. He must have inquired well before buying. This carp soup is best for women who have just had a child."

Nanny Jiang laughed, "Isn’t that right? The village women all eat this after childbirth. Pork trotters with beans are too greasy; this soup is better, good for milk. I’ve already cleaned and prepared two of them. Once the bamboo shoot soup is done, I’ll make the carp soup."

"It’s bamboo shoot and old duck soup," Li Yu En said with a smile, "Yuanxiu bought a fat duck from the market, and we’re simmering it with dried bamboo shoots from last winter. It’s really fragrant."

As Li Yu En spoke, she took a deep inhale and looked intoxicated.

Li Yuwen rolled her eyes at her, "All you do is eat. Went to the Prefecture and didn’t even lose weight."

Li Yu En spread her hands, "The old lady at our house loves to watch me eat. She’d be upset if I don’t. I couldn’t lose weight even if I wanted to."

"Is it just gluttony? Haha." Li Yuwen glanced at her.

Li Yuzhu brought Guoguo and Jingjing over to look at the lively carp splashing in the bucket.

The two children were having a great time.

Princess Consort Luling went to look at the red date chicken soup simmering on the stove. This was also Chai Eying’s postnatal meal.

Li Yuwen, feeling cold, squatted by the stove, extending her hands to warm them by the fire.

The warmth of the fire warmed her hands and her whole body followed suit.

Nanny Jiang glanced at her, teasing with a smile, "Big girl, your time is coming, right?"

Li Yuwen didn’t understand, "What time is coming?"

"Carrying a baby, of course. Your sister-in-law already has one; your turn is coming, isn’t it?" Nanny Jiang laughed.

The three daughters of the Li Family were married on the same day.

The second daughter, Li Yu En, wouldn’t come of age until summer, and the third daughter, Li Yuzhu, was even younger. These two were just married and not yet of age for consummation; only the eldest daughter, Li Yuwen, was half a year older than Chai Eying and at the age appropriate for marriage and childbirth.

That’s why Nanny Jiang asked Li Yuwen like this.

Li Yuwen and Pei Shenyan hadn’t even held hands, not to mention getting into bed to make babies.

She, still a virgin, was blushing profusely from Nanny Jiang’s question.

"Nanny Jiang!" Li Yuwen said with a straight face, "What are you going on about?"

Li Yu En looked at her through the steam from the pot, "Elder sister, you’re blushing."

Li Yuwen kept a stern face, "Li Yu En! Are you laughing at me?"

"Hehe." Li Yu En stuck her tongue out at her and then returned her attention to the soup.

Today, Li Yu En had finally managed a win over Li Yuwen, and she was in high spirits.

"Big aunt, are you going to have a baby?" Li Jing came over, looking at Li Yuwen, "A baby like little brother Yu?"

"Pretty much," Guoguo chimed in.

Li Yuzhu held back her laughter.

Princess Consort Luling turned back to glance at Li Yuwen, "Nanny Jiang isn’t wrong. Yuwen, you’re not so young anymore."

Li Yuwen looked around at everyone in the kitchen, stood up with a cold face, and walked out.

It was too much; they were all ganging up on her.

The kitchen was unbearable, and she couldn’t stay at her sister-in-law’s place either, fearing even Sister-in-law Chai might tease her.

Li Yuwen had no choice but to head towards her old bedroom.

However, before she could reach the bedroom, Li Yuwen ran into her father, Prince Luling.

"Father," Li Yuwen stood upright politely.

With guests at home, Prince Luling, having assigned tasks to the students, came home to entertain the guests.

He nodded at Li Yuwen, "Where is Shen Yan?"

Li Yuwen thought, how would she know?

She went to see Chai Eying, so Pei Shenyan was probably chatting with Eldest Young Master Chai.

"Father, he’s not here for the first time. He knows his way around well," Li Yuwen replied casually.

Prince Luling walked up to her, looking at her with a stern face, "Look at you, is this appropriate? As a couple, you should go out and come in together. How could you run off, leaving your husband alone? Not even knowing where he is. This is your maternal home; you must take good care of him. That’s the duty of a wife."
