Reincarnation: Multi-skilled Goddess Is So Beautiful!-Chapter 927 - Mom, You Aren’t As Fond of Me As Before After Having Grandchildren.
Chapter 927: Mom, You Aren’t As Fond of Me As Before After Having Grandchildren.
Qin Ze finally came to a realization. This woman was extremely generous to everyone else except for him!
Was she still holding grudges against him for what happened in the past?!
“What a narrow-minded person.”
“What did you say?”
!!Zi Yi shot a glance in Qin Ze’s direction.
Only then did Qin Ze realize that he had muttered what he was thinking out loud. He pretended to lose his memory, as he said, “What did I say? I didn’t say anything? Oh, that’s right. Why do I feel that you’re getting increasingly prettier as each day passes?”
Zi Yi: “…”
After the garbage in the courtyard was cleared up, Zi Yi did not go back into the living room. She got someone to move a recliner outside and she sat there and used her tablet.
Lu Jingye was also very busy. He pulled over a chair and sat next to Zi Yi, placed a laptop on his lap, and started to work.
Zi Yi connected to the nursery at the Lu Family’s villa. Mrs. Lu was currently seated inside the room and was knitting a sweater, while looking at the two babies. At the sight of Zi Yi connecting to the monitor, she asked with a smile, “Yiyi, you guys haven’t slept yet?”
“Not yet. My cousin Zerui will be arriving here tonight and we are waiting for them.” Zi Yi looked at the babies in the nutrient solution that had grown bigger before she turned to look at the little sweater in Mrs. Lu’s hands. “Mom, what are you knitting?”
“The babies’ sweaters.”
Mrs. Lu said with a smile as she knitted, “I learned it from your Third Aunt not long ago. Not only can knitting pass time, I can also have a chat with my grandchildren while knitting. More importantly, this wool was directly retrieved from the animal and it has undergone special processing and sterilization. In this case, I feel at ease using it.”
Having said that, she unfolded the half-finished sweater in her hands and showed it to Zi Yi.
The pure white sweater looked warm and soft, and was extremely pretty. This was Zi Yi’s first time seeing such handmade clothing and she purposely acted jealous as she said in a spoiled tone of voice, “Mom, you aren’t as fond of me as before after having grandchildren. I also want one.”
Qin Ze who was sitting beside her had goosebumps all over his body and he thought to himself, “Can this woman be even more thick-skinned than this?”
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Lu revealed a bright smile. “Who says that I’m not fond of you after having grandchildren? You are also the precious baby of the family. Don’t worry, I’ll knit one for you and when the time comes, the three of you can wear the same clothes. It’ll definitely look nice.”
“Then…” Zi Yi had an idea and said, “Mom should also knit one for yourself. The four of us will be able to wear the same type of clothing and go out. It’ll look even nicer!”
“Hahaha, sure. I’ll knit one for myself too. In the future when the family of three generations heads outside, everyone will surely be jealous of us.”
Qin Ze suddenly looked at Lu Jingye with a sympathetic gaze.
Take a look at your wife. She didn’t even think about you at all.
Lu Jingye did not even bother looking back at him.
Zi Yi and Mrs. Lu started discussing what kind of colors would match the sweater. While chatting, the conversation somehow lasted for an hour.
They only stopped after Lu Jingye finished working and took Zi Yi’s tablet away.
“Mother,” Lu Jingye called out.
Mrs. Lu said to him, “You shouldn’t keep working when Yiyi has free time. You should spend more time with her, otherwise how are the two of you going to have enough time to spend together?”
Lu Jingye answered, “I understand, Mother.”
Only then did Mrs. Lu change the topic. While chatting, she suddenly thought of something and she said, “Oh right, I have something to tell the both of you. Zhiheng and Yuelan are currently in the midst of an argument that is heading in the direction of a divorce. Practically everyone in the city knows of it.”
Zi Yi asked with a surprised tone, “Why are they arguing to divorce? Has Eldest Uncle permitted them to do this?”
Based on Zi Yi’s understanding of her Eldest Uncle, how could he possibly allow them to divorce?
The Lu Family was a military family and even if Lu Zhiheng was not in the army, Eldest Master Lu could not possibly allow this to happen.
Mrs. Lu revealed a speechless expression. “It’s your Eldest Aunt who’s causing the trouble.”
“Eldest Aunt? Isn’t she in the countryside?”
“She is indeed in the countryside, but Zhiheng and Yuelan would visit her from time to time. I really don’t know what she is thinking. She got Zhiheng to sleep with other virgin maidens. She felt that it’s Yuelan’s problem that they haven’t been able to have children.
“The lady that got involved with Zhiheng is her maiden family’s sister-in-law’s niece. Right now, she and her maiden family are asking for a divorce between Zhiheng and Yuelan so that he could marry her sister-in-law’s niece.”
Zi Yi only said a sentence after hearing the story, “Their family is really messy.”
She then asked, “What’s Eldest sister-in-law’s attitude on this?”
“Yuelan’s family isn’t weak either. They are currently making a fuss.”
Mrs. Lu was only telling them this so that they are aware of the situation. She then changed the topic after that and did not go deeper into the situation.
The three of them chatted for some time before disconnecting the call.
It was already 11 p.m. by then.
Zi Yi gave Dou Xiangling a call and asked where they were.
Dou Xiangling said, “We’ll be reaching you in another half an hour at most.”
After hanging up the phone, Zi Yi got the helper to prepare a midnight snack for them. She then stood up and said to Lu Jingye, “Ah Jing, let’s go outside for a walk. When we come back we’ll be just in time to fetch my cousin and Ian.”
Lu Jingye obviously would not object. The both of them walked out of the winery hand in hand.
Previously, this whole land was part of an estate. Other than a winery, there were also pastures and farms.
However, after Zi Yi built the laboratory, everything else except for this winery had undergone a huge change.
Zi Yi and Lu Jingye walked on the road and the street lamps lit up their path as the light elongated their shadows.
Zi Yi pointed at the laboratory and explained to Lu Jingye what type of research and experiment would be conducted in each area.
“Human lifespans are too short. In the interstellar era, the lifespan of ordinary people is 200 years. People with strong mental energy can even have a lifespan of 400 to 500 years. In particular, we can transfer one’s consciousness out of their frail body and implant them into their clones. Many powerful people would often live for a thousand years.”
Lu Jingye had heard from Zi Yi about many things of the interstellar era and he was more or less calm whenever he heard stories related to the era she lived in.
He asked, “Since the people there live for so long, isn’t their fertility rate high?”
“Nope.” Zi Yi said, “The people in our era have strong adventurous spirits and those with powerful mental energy have to protect the planets where we live. Therefore, there’s no time to raise a child at all. Basically, the country would only start a birthing plan after a certain individual disappears in interstellar space.”
“Can’t an individual give birth whenever they like?”
“They can. But no one would be willing to spend so much time raising children. Therefore it leads to a situation where there is a low fertility rate of people with powerful mental energy.”
In fact, Lu Jingye could not quite understand the thoughts of people in the interstellar era. However, he did not comment on it.
He continued to ask, “Are there many dangerous species in interstellar space?”
“Yes. There are many dangerous species that you can’t even imagine. They also possess high intellect. They would attack the planets where humans live, then turn ordinary humans into their slaves. Those with powerful mental energies would have to clean out the nest of the Worm Race every few years.”
