Chapter 528: 491 This damn kid has outsmarted us (1 more update)

After dinner with Madam Su, Tang Su and Lu Han returned to the Lu Family home.

On the way back, Tang Su received a phone call from Su Ruoan.

"Queen Mother, just to report to you, Lu Han and I have just parted with Grandma and are now preparing to head home. Do you have any other instructions?"

"As soon as you left, your eldest aunt called your grandma, and she just called me, saying that it seems like your cousin Shen Xuan wants to divorce."

"It’s not that Shen Xuan wants to divorce, but her mother-in-law despises her for being unable to bear children for so many years and is planning to have her son divorce her to find someone else who can."

"What? In this day and age, if one can’t have children, does that mean they can’t lead a life together?" Tang Su really couldn’t understand; there were still people from the older generation with such ancient ideas existing in this era.

How many years had feudal thinking been eradicated?

Why couldn’t it be completely extinguished?

"Everyone has their own way of thinking. Your grandma wants you and Lu Han to accompany her over, but I’ve declined for you both. I’m telling you this so you know you don’t need to head over tonight, Shen Xuan is already being picked up by your eldest aunt."

"If they need help and seek you out, you can go over and see."

"Of course, if it’s inconvenient, just refuse directly."

"Mhm, I understand, Queen Mother."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Su suddenly thought of Xie Lan’s words; her second uncle’s wife’s sixth sense was really incredible.

Indeed, something had happened in her eldest aunt’s family. She initially thought it was her uncle-in-law who had caused some trouble, but it turned out to be her older cousin.

But, is it such a crime not to be able to have children?

To be forced into divorce?

Her older cousin’s husband was willing as well?

They had married through a matchmaker, but they both consented to the union. Over the years, she felt that their marriage was quite good.

Otherwise, her older cousin wouldn’t have had such confidence when returning to her parental home.

Facing such an issue during the festive season, Tang Su’s mood was somewhat affected.

Lu Han reached out and took her hand in his, "If you need my help, just ask. I can go and find out about your older cousin’s husband’s character first."

Tang Su shook her head, "There’s no need for now, my mom called us just to prepare us mentally. She wanted us to be aware, and even if we are to visit, we should wait until they ask for themselves. We don’t need to be too eager."

A problem like this was good in a way; it would blunt the arrogance of her eldest aunt’s family.

Otherwise, they’d really think, outside of the Su Family, who would acknowledge them as boss?

"Alright, then don’t be unhappy."

"Okay."

**

When Tang Su and Lu Han returned, Lu Zhu and Song Mingxiu hadn’t left and decided to stay overnight.

Tomorrow is the third day of Lunar New Year, and the three children of Lu Han’s deceased elder uncle are bringing their families over for New Year greetings, so Lu Zhu and Song Mingxiu had to stay to help entertain them as well.

Lu Zhu suggested that the four of them shouldn’t sleep that night and play mahjong until dawn.

After all, it’s only during the New Year that they could afford to be less disciplined. Lu Zhu had taken a nap in the afternoon and naturally couldn’t sleep at night.

Lu Zhu wanted Bai Wei to join them in playing mahjong, but she refused. They had a full day of work tomorrow, and as the hosts, they couldn’t afford to be exhausted and greet the guests poorly.

Lu Zhu then said they would wait for Tang Su and Lu Han to return and have them join the game, making it just right for two couples.

Bai Wei glared at her, "Can’t you just find another day to stay up after today? Besides, Tang Su and Lu Han going to the Su Family is different from you going back to your parents’, they can rest. She’s going on behalf of her mother to visit her grandma, and those relatives of hers can be pretty troublesome."

"You only have one younger sister-in-law, don’t you feel sorry for her as the eldest sister-in-law?"

Lu Zhu: "..."

How did she suddenly get such a huge accusation thrown at her? Did she ever say she didn’t feel sorry for Tang Su?

By the time Tang Su and Lu Han returned, Grandma had given them some delicious treats to take back.

A box of premium crystal sugar tangerines that Tang Su had tried a few of, very sweet and tasty, and another box of imported navel oranges, big and sweet, which could also be used to relieve any heatiness from eating too much.

When the two entered the house, Lu Zhu suggested that the four of them play mahjong all night, only to be rejected by Lu Han.

"If you have that time, you might as well go back to the room with your brother-in-law and make a baby. You’ve been married for so long, and I still haven’t become an uncle," Lu Han blurted out.

Tang Su’s elder cousin was about to be forced into a divorce after many years of marriage without having children. Lu Han wondered, wasn’t his sister worried that the Song Family might replace Mingxiu’s wife?

Although the Song Family didn’t rely solely on Mingxiu to carry on their lineage, Mingxiu’s mother-in-law only had him as her only son.

The old man of the Song Family didn’t rush them to have children, as the Song Family’s lineage was secure.

But his sister’s mother-in-law was still eager to have a biological grandson.

Was she really not in a hurry, not afraid of losing such a good brother-in-law as Mingxiu due to family reasons in the end?

"I’m dizzy, our parents haven’t been pushing for a baby this year, but look at you, urging your sister?" Lu Zhu raised her eyebrows, a bit confused.

Lu Han had never spoken such unpleasant things to her in the past, what happened today?

"Usually, you’re always focused on your work circle; you should also pay attention to social livelihood. Haven’t you seen the news? There are many women who are pressured by their in-laws to divorce because they don’t have children for a long time," he said.

"Lu Han, what’s going on? Why bring this up today?" Before Lu Zhu could explode, Song Mingxiu asked with a laugh, his eyes holding a warning.

What was up with this brother-in-law of his today?

He hadn’t done anything to wrong him, had he?

So why stir up trouble in their marriage?

"Nothing much, I just think that since my brother-in-law has such good genes, it would be a real waste not to have children. If my brother-in-law were a bit uglier, and my sister a bit uglier too, I wouldn’t rush it."

Both: "..."

"Alright, alright, nicely said. Don’t say it again next time, hurry up and take Tang Su upstairs to rest. You’ve been tired out over there all day, just look at this poor little face, it’s heart-wrenching," Lu Zhu said dismissively, genuinely concerned about Tang Su.

"Okay, mom and dad, good night, sis, brother-in-law, good night. Wife, let’s go back to our room," Lu Han hurried Tang Su off to rest, not forgetting to say good night to his family.

After a long while, Lu Zhu came to her senses, "Did I just get played by that brat?"

Bai Wei snickered, "Come on Lu, let’s also go back to our room to rest, we have to get up early tomorrow."

"Yeah, Xiaozhu, Mingxiu, you two should also go to bed early."

"Got it, dad," they replied.

Pouting, Lu Zhu said discontentedly, "That Lu Han, I’ll settle the score with him tomorrow. To think he’d push the baby-making onto me just to snuggle with his wife."

Song Mingxiu pulled her to him, "Don’t be angry. Fortunately, that kid didn’t stay by your side to annoy you when he was little, or I’d have to have a serious talk with him."

"We’ll definitely have a talk with him tomorrow."

"Yes, of course," Song Mingxiu agreed with an indulgent smile.
