Rebirth 90: The Long Road to Finding a Son

More than half a month after the Qian family arrived in the provincial capital, the children began to go on winter vacation one after another.

Xu Jinfeng has five nephews and two nieces. These younger generations are all quite old. The youngest among them is his third brother's daughter, who is now eighteen years old.

His eldest brother's two sons and one daughter were already married and had children. The grandchildren mentioned by Xu's mother were basically married and old enough to start their own families, but they were all eyeing their uncle's property.

Xu's mother said that she would wait until the children had their winter vacation and then take them to the provincial capital. She was not referring to her grandson's vacation, but her great-grandson's vacation.

Xu Jinfeng's eldest grandson is already eight years old and is in the third grade of primary school. His second brother's second son, Xu Hongyuan, is now 20 years old and is in college. Part of his tuition is paid by Xu Jinfeng.

Xu Hongchen, the son of his third brother, is 24 years old and has a high school education. He has not found a suitable job at home, so he plans to come to the provincial capital to look for opportunities.

After the winter vacation started for their great-grandson who was in elementary school and their grandson who was in college, the old couple of the Xu family took their two grandsons and the grandson who was looking for a job and boarded a train to the provincial capital.

They did inform their son and daughter-in-law in advance before coming to the provincial capital. This time, not only Qian Jinling didn't want them to come, but even Xu Jinfeng was busy with company matters and didn't want his family to come and cause trouble.

Unexpectedly, the more Xu Jinfeng said that there were a lot of things going on at home recently and he would talk about it after he was done, the more his parents felt that Qian Jinling was just talking to him.

Especially the old lady of the Xu family, although she is 76 years old, her legs and feet are still quite nimble, so she had to come this time.

Half a month before the Chinese New Year, the old couple of the Xu family appeared at the door of Xu Jinfeng's house with their two grandsons and one great-grandson.

Qian Jinling was at home with her two daughters learning how to make cakes. Qian Jinling played a full role in the pregnancy incident. She wore loose and baggy clothes and tied a small cotton pad on her belly, which even fooled her daughters.

Both daughters thought their mother was pregnant, and they were very sensible. They no longer hugged their mother as they used to, but instead carefully protected her belly.

Just like now, she bakes with her two daughters. Her daughters are afraid that she will get tired, so they let her sit aside to give instructions while the two of them are responsible for the production.

When the nanny heard the doorbell and opened the door, she saw the five people, big and small, again, but this time they were the Xu family.

The Xu family is closer to the provincial capital, and the train ride takes four or five hours. The old couple of the Xu family brings their children here once or twice almost every year. Now they are familiar with the place and the nanny already knows them.

After letting them in, the nanny ran into the house to inform Qian Jinling: "Madam, someone is coming to the master's house~"

Qian Jinling's face, which had just been smiling gently, instantly fell. She unconsciously glanced at her pregnant belly, fearing that it would be exposed.

Before she could stand up, the Xu family had already walked in. As soon as the family put their luggage on the ground, Mrs. Xu began to direct the nanny to work.

Compared with Old Mrs. Qian, Old Mrs. Xu has more psychological advantages. She feels that this is her son's home, and so it is her home, and she is the master of this home.

She didn't call the nanny "maid" like Old Lady Qian did: "Xiao Huang, go and clean up a few rooms for us. We are exhausted after sitting in the car all the way."

Qian Jinling signaled to her two daughters to put down the tools in their hands and go with her to "welcome" their grandmother's family.

"Dad, Mom, why didn't you tell me you were coming today so we could prepare in advance!" Qian Jinling's face reappeared with a smile, and she asked after walking into the living room, without any trace of the gloomy look she had just shown.

It is said that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies, and this is the case with Old Lady Xu towards Qian Jinling. It was originally a normal greeting, but to Old Lady Xu, it sounded like Qian Jinling was complaining about them coming uninvited.

Old Mrs. Xu snorted coldly and said, "We are coming over here. We have called you several times to tell you that we are coming over here. You didn't take it seriously, did you?"

Qian Jinling responded with an embarrassed look: "Mom, look at what you said. How could we forget such a big thing? What I mean is, you haven't decided on a specific day to come, otherwise we could drive to the station to pick you up!"

Old Madam Xu did not appreciate Qian Jinling's kindness and responded, "Everyone is good at talking after the fact. You are so good at talking that you have fooled my son. I am not as easy to fool as my son."

Xu Qianqian and Xu Ranran don't like their grandma and don't have a good impression of this grandmother.

She talked about her grandson every three sentences and didn't take the two little granddaughters seriously at all. No matter how much money Dad gave them, grandma was not as close to them as other grandmas.

The good mood was ruined by a few words from Old Lady Xu. Xu Qianqian and Xu Ranran were very upset.

Seeing that her mother was bullied by her grandmother, her elder sister Xu Qianqian immediately spoke up for her mother: "Grandma, my mother is pregnant now, can you please not make her angry? My mother always speaks normally, can you please not be so sarcastic all the time?"

Qian Jinling was naturally happy that her daughter had vented her anger for her, but she still had to pretend to interrupt her daughter in time: "Qianqian, don't be disrespectful and don't talk to grandma like that!"

At this point, Old Lady Xu had something to say: "You are the only one who can pretend to be a good person. Isn't it you who taught the child to be like this?"

It seems that the conversation between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can never be on the same channel. No matter what Qian Jinling says or does, it is wrong.

Mrs. Xu didn't mention the good things about her ex-daughter-in-law today, which was already a way of giving Qian Jinling some face. However, it might not be long before this kind of topic would start again.

Although Bai Xiaowen also gave birth to a daughter, Old Mrs. Xu did not dislike Bai Xiaowen and the child. She even liked the granddaughter very much.

Bai Xiaowen went through hardships with Xu Jinfeng and created a world for herself step by step. Old Mrs. Xu admired her very much and was very grateful to her.

At that time, although she also hoped that Xu Jinfeng would be able to provide some help to his sons and grandchildren in the family when he became successful, she was not yet impatient to help other children and grandchildren fight for Xu Jinfeng's property.

It was not until Qian Jinling entered the Xu family that Old Lady Xu began to think about this. This was a good opportunity to fight for benefits, and Xu Jinfeng's brothers and sisters-in-law naturally could not hold back.

This has led to the current situation in the Xu family, with the five nephews all eyeing the big piece of fat meat, Xu Jinfeng.

Mrs. Xu was angry just now and didn't listen carefully. Now she suddenly reacted and stared at Qian Jinling's belly and asked Qian Jinling: "Qianqian said you were pregnant just now? You are hiding such a big thing, what do you want to do?"

Qian Jinling cursed in her heart, I tell you what this old woman can do? Can you give me money and things, or can you come and serve me?

But what he said was, "Mom, Jinfeng and I were thinking of announcing the news after the Chinese New Year. The baby is only four months old now, and the doctor said it's twins."

As she spoke, she stroked her bulging belly. Old Mrs. Xu saw that Qian Jinling's belly was now very obvious, and said indifferently, "Twins again? Does your family have this gene?"

Old Madam Xu softened her tone when speaking to Qian Jinling: "Since you are pregnant, you should rest well and stop moving around."

Old Mrs. Xu's tone was still cold, but she rarely said anything that seemed to show concern for Qian Jinling.

Qian Jinling smiled and replied, "Well, Mom and Dad, please feel free to take a rest. I am indeed a little tired, so I will go back to my room first."

She asked the nanny to prepare a more sumptuous dinner, and then went upstairs with the help of her two daughters.

Old Mrs. Xu looked at Qian Jinling's slender back, curled her lips and whispered to Old Man Xu: "She's pregnant but still skinny, only your son likes this..."
