C16 The Cries Rose and Fell

Inside the house.

"Let Aster take good care of herself. He has been following us ever since he gave birth to his child, and Yuanzi has never done anything good. Let her take good care of herself now, don't let her fall sick. My eldest son's wife will feed her, and my second brother will manage the food."

Mrs Zhang sat on a chair with a few bags on the table. There wasn't much silver in the bags.

He tapped his fingers against the abacus and calculated how much money they had spent and how much they had left over.

"We don't have much silver left, but we still need to eat tonight. Eldest daughter-in-law, take this silver and go buy some vegetables. We'll do our best to buy as much as we can, it would be best if it's enough for us to eat for a few days."

Mrs Zhang took out a few pieces of silver from her small purse and handed it to Mrs Xu.

… ….

The three brothers in the courtyard spoke for a while before walking in.

"Mother."

"We're back, just in time. Everyone is waiting for your return. Since you guys are back, let's start eating. Go call Aster, it's right behind us." Mrs Zhang put down the abacus in her hands and rubbed the space between her eyebrows.

Qin Rufeng looked at his mother and suddenly felt unfilial, "Mother, don't be so tired. Just let us handle it. You should take a good rest and take care of your body."

"If you have nothing to do, go and get an Aster to eat. Don't grind your teeth here."

Mrs Zhang saw that her youngest son was still here. She waved her hand and urged him to go call Jiang Wan.

… ….

Jiang Wan, who was sent back to her room, was already drowsy on her bed. The child beside her was still waving her hands, babbling and groaning. From time to time, she would pat the child's stomach.

The footsteps at the door came closer. The woman opened her eyes and looked forward. When she saw Qin Si walk in, she was stunned for a moment and then subconsciously opened her mouth, "Why are you here?"

He slowly turned around and walked to the bed, looking down at the person lying on the bed. Then, he swung his sleeves and sat on the bed, making a joke, "You're my wife, and this child is my son. You're sleeping here, so where is your husband going?"

Jiang Wan blushed. She remembered that they were originally husband and wife. Naturally, they would sleep together. Although she wasn't a shy girl, it was indeed awkward for her to sleep in the same bed as a man.

What do we do at night?

"Get up and go eat. I'll take a look at the child first."

He didn't have much appetite for the moment, so he planned to improve the relationship between father and son together.

Being the first father was very complicated.

Qin Si looked at the child with his eyes wide open, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but slightly rise.

"Don't make him cry."

Jiang Wan thought of the first time Qin Si hugged Little Chixi, made the child cry, a little worried.

"Mm, go quickly."

Qin Si gave a perfunctory "En" in response as he saw that the child didn't even raise his head.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Wan was still a little worried, so she simply picked up the child.

"Let's go together."

Qin Si shook his head helplessly when he saw how nervous Jiang Wan was with her child. He didn't say anything and just followed her out slowly.

Everyone in the lobby was already seated, waiting for Jiang Wan and Qin Si.

On Jiang Wan's left was Miss Qing. Seeing the child in her aunt's arms rolling her eyes, Miss Qing couldn't help but touch Little Chixi's face with her fingers.

Little Chixi suddenly started to cry after being touched by the cold hand.

Miss Qing was also frightened by his sudden outburst and started crying as well.

The other children were also frightened and began to cry as well. The sound of crying was quite rhythmic.

The room was instantly in a state of disarray.
