Chapter 521: Chapter 519: Pregnancy 6_1

Xia Ningxing was somewhat amused and frustrated, "Grandpa, you’re exaggerating; I’m just pregnant, it’s not that serious."

"No! This is very serious!" the old man said with a stern face.

Xia Ningxing was choked up.

"Grandpa is just looking out for you, let him be," Lu Tingli whispered in her ear as he bent down.

Xia Ningxing smiled helplessly.

As soon as she entered, Xia Ningxing saw Tao Tao walking shoulder to shoulder with an elderly lady.

"Xiaxia!" Tao Tao immediately quickened her pace when she saw her.

"Slow down, slow down!" Xia Ningxing quickly reminded her.

Once she slowed down, Xia Ningxing nodded faintly towards the old lady and greeted, "Second Grandma."

This old lady was the wife of the old man’s brother, so she was the Second Grandma of their generation.

"Xingxing has arrived," Madam Yun said with a light smile. Her wrinkled eyelids glanced at her and then fixed onto the old man, "Tsk, my big brother really takes good care of his granddaughter-in-law. Just look at how worried he seems, afraid of any mishaps. I heard he even wants to remove the door thresholds?"

"I’m happy to do so, what’s it to you!" The Family Head sneered at her and proceeded to walk inside with Xia Ningxing, "Come on, Xingxing, let’s not bother with her!"

This Second Grandma always liked to come to the Lu Family’s main house to freeload food and sometimes other items, so the Lu Family wasn’t particularly fond of her.

But because the Family Head had good relations with his brother, he couldn’t bring himself to actually kick her out, so over the years, they just turned a blind eye.

Of course, their attitude towards her was naturally not very friendly.

Madam Yun immediately huffed. She thought, show off what you will, it’s just a bit of lousy money, so impressive!

Then, her eyes darted around as though she had an idea, and suddenly she pulled Tao Tao, who was about to leave.

"I say Taozi, I really feel sorry for you!"

As she spoke, she also sighed.

"Huh? What’s wrong, Second Grandma?" Tao Tao, originally about to go back to the room with the Family Head and Xia Ningxing, stopped and curiously stared at her upon hearing this.

Madam Yun sighed again, "You and that Xia Ningxing are both my big brother’s granddaughters-in-law, but why doesn’t he treat you as well as he treats Xia Ningxing!"

"Like just now, it was only a door threshold, but look at how anxious my big brother was. Tell me, has he ever been so anxious for you?"

What a clever way to sow discord!

Honestly, if someone were a bit narrow-minded, they probably would feel uncomfortable, harboring resentments towards Xia Ningxing and the Family Head.

But Tao Tao was different!

"Second Grandma, how can you think like that!" Tao Tao couldn’t help but shake her head in disapproval and reasoned with her, "Xiaxia is frail; what’s wrong with Grandpa taking extra care of her? Besides, my second uncle was lost by my father-in-law and suffered a lot in the countryside back then. It’s only right that Grandpa takes better care of their household now! And, Xiaxia is a very kind person. Let me tell you, Second Grandma, if it weren’t for her, I probably would have died long ago. I wouldn’t have met Lu Fan, let alone married him, and also..."

Blah, blah, blah.

Madam Yun, who intended to stir up trouble between them, ended up listening to Tao Tao praising Xia Ningxing fervently.

Madam Yun’s face immediately turned from green to white, truly a sight to behold.

"Idiot!"

In the end, Madam Yun directly cursed under her breath at their lack of fight, then left the Lu Family with small steps to avoid being angered to death by Tao Tao later.

"Why scold someone out of nowhere!" Tao Tao, somewhat huffy, glared at her retreating figure, and then ran into the house to relay to Xia Ningxing and the old master what Madam Yun had said to her.

After listening, Xia Ningxing took a sip of milk, her lips curling up slightly.

This old lady wanted to sow discord without first finding out what Tao Tao’s relationship with her was!

"This Madam Yun, at her age, still engaging in such divisive antics, doesn’t she just want to disturb the peace of my Lu Family? This old witch!" Xia Ningxing wasn’t really angry, but the old master was furious and slammed his hand on the table, "Nanny Wu, tell the gatekeeper, from now on, neither Madam Yun nor dogs are allowed to enter!"

In the past, he considered brotherly harmony and, even if Madam Yun took some things every time she came, but now that she dared to drive a wedge between his granddaughter-in-law and himself, he couldn’t tolerate her anymore!

Upon hearing this, Xia Ningxing took another sip of the fragrant milk, her smile growing deeper.

If Madam Yun knew that her attempt to steal a chicken resulted in losing the rice, she would surely faint from anger.

"Taozi, don’t feel I am being partial. In fact, I really owe your second uncle’s family..." Since the matter had come up, the old master decided to be straightforward and explain certain things.

In fact, there was something he didn’t mention: he indeed liked Xiaxia, his granddaughter-in-law, a bit more.

It wasn’t that she was inferior to Xia Ningxing, but some people naturally got along better with certain others.

Tao Tao blinked her clear eyes quickly and shook her head, "Grandfather, don’t say that, I have never felt that you were partial. On the contrary, the more you favor Xiaxia, the happier I become. She is like family to me, and being kind to my family is being kind to me!"

This magnanimity was unmatched!

Xia Ningxing was both moved and heartbroken.

Silly girl.

The old master was also stunned by her, and after a moment, he raised his hand and patted her shoulder, "Good girl."

Embarrassed by the praise, Tao Tao shyly lowered her head, "Thank you, Grandfather."

After this talk, Xia Ningxing thought of the important matters, "Grandfather, Lu and I plan to put off the ceremony for now and wait until the child is born to hold it."

"No problem at all!" The old master agreed without hesitation, "It’s just that we didn’t know you were pregnant initially. Otherwise, I would have never let you worry about the wedding while pregnant. It’s too tiring, bad for you, and bad for the child."

The old master, having been a father himself, knew all too well the physical and emotional pain that women endure from pregnancy to giving birth!

Xia Ningxing lifted her eyes to look at him, "Grandfather, you don’t have to worry too much about me. I think that after a few months the symptoms of morning sickness and lethargy will lessen considerably."

"They definitely will." The old master’s eyes, full of tenderness and love, affirmed, "Xingxing, it’s not easy for you to come all this way, so stay here for the next few days."

"Right, Xiaxia, I’m also here these days, so we can keep each other company," Tao Tao also wanted her to stay.

"Then I will graciously accept!" Xia Ningxing agreed with a smile.

Over the next few days at the old residence, while Lu Tingli went to the research institute during the day, Xia Ningxing and Tao Tao chatted about domestic affairs and didn’t feel bored at all.

That day, a commotion of wailing was heard at the door.

It was Madam Yun.

"What right do you have to stop me from entering? I am the Lu Family’s second grandmother, a genuine one at that! I need to speak to my elder brother about an urgent matter today. What right do you lowly servants have to block me?" she was making a scene at the gate, throwing a tantrum.
