Hearing the heartfelt advice from her two friends, Ping'er felt grateful in her heart, but her face grew even more dejected.

"I understand what you're saying, but having a child isn't something I can decide on my own," Ping'er said.

“When Zhou Shengchen married me, we both agreed that it was only for our own children. We were just pretending to be a couple.”

"Things are a bit tight at home now, what with raising two children. HuaHua is still learning to dance, and after the summer, Zhou Sheng said he wants to send HuaHua to learn calligraphy, painting, music, and board games."

"At this time, he doesn't mention it, and I naturally wouldn't press him to have children. The burden is too heavy."

Hearing Ping'er's words, Yang Ruqing felt it was reasonable.

"Actually, for families like yours that are reconstituted, the most ideal outcome would be to have a child together," Yang Ruohqing said.

“This child is like a rope, tightly binding the two of you together. This is something Bingbing and Huahua couldn't do.”

"But as you said, the current situation isn't suitable for having a child, so let's just wait a bit longer."

"You're not that old, just over twenty, and Zhou Shengge is also in his prime. Even Lao Wan, who was reborn a year and a half ago, is fine." Yang Ruqing continued.

Ping'er nodded gently.

Xiao Huan suddenly thought of something and asked Yang Ruqing: "By the way, is your third sister-in-law Zhao Liuer also like this with your third brother?"

"Yang Ruohong nodded. "There are more than just my third brother and sister-in-law like this, you can't have forgotten that my fifth uncle and aunt are the same way?"

Bao Suyun lived with her eldest son, Da Bao, and Uncle Wu. When Zhao Liuer married her third brother Yang Yongzhi, her third brother was also a bachelor with a few-month-old son, Hong'er.

“My fifth uncle treats the eldest as his own, and for the eldest’s sake, my fifth uncle doesn’t even plan on having a son of his own.” Yang Ruqing continued.

“Big Bao is also a sensible child. He is twelve years old now, and in the autumn he took part in the children's exam. In two days, he will go to the academy in Qianshan County to study.”

"And my third sister-in-law, Zhao Liuer, she also treats my third brother and Chen Jinhong's son Hong as her own."

“When San Sao entered the door, Hong’er was only just a year old. Now three years have passed, and Hong’er's closeness to me is far greater than that of my third brother!” Yang Ruoqing said with pride.

"As for your fifth uncle and aunt, I naturally know them both. They are good people. Although your fifth uncle doesn't have a biological son of his own, he has Mien-Mien, his beloved daughter."

“I want to ask, what about your three sisters-in-law? Are they planning to have another baby?”

As for this issue, Ping'er is also very concerned about it, because the situation is similar, so Ping'er also watched Yang Ruqing curiously, waiting for her next words.

Yang Ruqing said, "I asked them, they should be preparing, after all, Hong'er is already four years old."

Xiao Huan nodded: "Yes, that's right. So, Ping'er, you also need to plan ahead. Even if it's not suitable now, in a year or two, you should be pregnant."

Ping'er lightly hummed, "I have a grasp of the situation."

The Zhou family stayed at the Luo family's place for most of the day before finally leaving. After they left, the guests at their own home gradually dispersed as well.

Wang Cuilian saw Lu Tiejiang sitting at the table napping, his eyes and face red.

Liao Bao-bao, the kitten, would be sitting nearby. Whenever she saw her grandpa doze off and bump his head on the desk, she would dart out and tug on his beard, waking him up.

The blacksmith, Lu Tiejiang, raised his head and squinted around. He couldn't see anyone, but he heard the giggles of a little girl from the corner.

The blacksmith Luo also couldn't help but laugh and cry, pointing his finger in the direction of the laughter and helplessly said, "You rascal!"

Wang Cuilian came into the main hall with a broom and said to Luo Tiejiang, "You drank quite a bit this afternoon. The alcohol has even gotten into your eyes."

The blacksmith Luo got drunk and said, “I’m so happy today!”

Wang Cuilian said, "You're happy, that's good. But Da E and the others have all gone back to Zhoujia Village this while. There's nothing much to do this afternoon, why don't you take a nap on the bed?"

The camel blacksmith listened and stood up, returning to his own room. Camel Baby also tripped over her little braided horns and ran towards the doorway of the main hall. Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!

“Where are you going, baby?” Wang Cuilian called out from behind.

Luo Bao-bao didn't even look back as she said, "I'm going to go play with Da Bai and Uncle Xiao Hei. I'll be back for dinner!"

Luo Baobei took the first step, and Yang Ruqing followed closely behind.

Seeing Wang Cuilian sweeping the floor, Yang Ruqing hurried over to take her broom.

"Auntie, I'll just sweep it up. You've been tired all day, why don't you sit down and rest for a bit?" Yang Ruqing said. Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Wang Cuilian said, "I'm not tired. All the things were done by you and Xiao Yu. I'm not tired."

"Even though I wasn't tired, I sat down and swept the floor. Having Grandma chat with me made it even better." Yang Ruohua said with a smile.

Wang Cuilian beamed with satisfaction. "I had too much for lunch, and sitting down makes it easy to get indigestion. I'd rather stand here and help you tidy up while we chat."

Yang Ruqing didn't force it, since it was her own home, if her mother felt comfortable that way, then it was fine.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted as they tidied up the main hall. Wang Cuilian said, "Today, your big sister-in-law was having a private conversation with your uncle. I just happened to come over with tea and heard a few words, it seemed to be about Zhou Xia."

"Zhou Xia?" Yang Ruqing raised an eyebrow.

To be honest, she had no interest in Zhou Xia now. After all, Zhou Xia's character, she had encountered it eight hundred years ago.

Now that everyone knows her true character, no one in the family will fall for it again.

Therefore, Zhou Xia now poses no threat to Yang Ruqing or the people around her. Zhou Xia also doesn't dare to make any more trouble for Yang Ruqing, as she is not even qualified to be called an opponent, so she no longer pays attention.

"Qing'er, if you don't want to hear it, I won't say anything." Wang Cuilian saw Yang Ruqing had no reaction for a long time and quickly said.

Yang Ruqing came back to her senses and smiled, "Auntie, I never beat around the bush when talking to my own family. As for everything about Zhou Xia,"

"Whether it's good or bad, I have no interest whatsoever. But since Auntie wants to talk, I will patiently listen without giving any feedback."

This is a sign of respect for elders, just keeping them company and chatting. Let it go in one ear and out the other.

Upon hearing Yang Ruqing's words, Wang Cuilian smiled.

“I'm also free, just chatting with you randomly. To be honest, I don't even feel like saying anything to evaluate it, but it's kind of interesting. It's nice to talk to you about it.” she said.

"I heard from your elder aunt that she told your uncle that Zhou Xia is now married to a good family in the county town and is living the life of a young mistress!"

"Missus?" Yang Ruqing raised an eyebrow.

Wang Cuilian nodded: “She said she got married last year. She said her in-laws bought a two-entrance courtyard house for Zhou Xia in the county town, and she lives freely, without having to wait on her in-laws or bother with the main wife.”
