The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 290 Contentment

Brother Erlang Ping's full moon banquet was organized by Guo.

The old lady personally gave the order.

Although the grandson-in-law is about to give birth and the younger grandson-in-law is also pregnant, hosting the baby's full-moon banquet is not a big gift. There are many capable stewards in the house. Even if there is no master to take charge of the ceremony, there is no need to worry about doing it in an unseemly manner.

But this was Li Xianzi after all. Although the old lady didn't want to see Guo's shallow-sighted daughter-in-law, she didn't want to embarrass her too much, so she simply gave the job to her.

Since Jingshu married into the family, the Guo family has been deprived of power. She has accumulated a lot of resentment in her heart over the years. Now that the old lady has ordered her to host her grandson's full moon banquet, the Guo family is naturally happy. This is a happy event, naturally.

It was inevitable to receive gifts, as this was a lucrative job. Although Mrs. Guo was not happy about it, she kept complaining to her son and daughter-in-law all day long.

"Look, now that we have a man in our big house, the old lady is so uninterested that she just left it alone and left it all to me, the old lady, to take care of it."

Xu Wanning was too lazy to listen to her talk, so she sent someone a thousand taels of silver to her, saying that it was because of her filial piety for her hard work.

Guo was so happy that she got the money. A few days later, she came to Bitangju on the pretext of visiting her grandson and muttered: "I haven't been in charge of the family for a long time, and the people below have been worshiping each other one by one, and they don't take advantage of me as an old woman."

I took it seriously, but they didn’t even listen to my instructions and asked them to prepare a banquet, so they just picked cheap dishes to fool around with, hey! What should I do?"

When Xu Wanning heard this, she asked someone to fetch a stack of banknotes, with a hundred-tael denomination, twenty in total.

Mrs. Guo counted them in her hand, and a smile gradually appeared on her face. She glanced at her sleeping grandson twice, then walked away with the banknotes in her arms with a smile.

In Xianglin Garden, Pingyang is experiencing severe joy these days.

"Why are you back?" Pingyang's eyes flashed with joy, and he asked with a handkerchief on his mouth.

Xu Wanning said angrily: "You have already taken a bath, how can you still smell? My own son is so disgusted. I have never seen you as a father."

Since marrying Li Xian, Xu Wanning has always been angry with her mother-in-law, but this is the first time she heard Li Xian say such things.

Xu Wanning looked proud, glared at Li Xian and said, "How can I tell you this? Anyway, even if I leave you, my aunt will still be able to raise a few children well."

Suddenly, a familiar big hand gently patted her back. Pingyang turned around and saw that it was Li Xiang.

Li Xiang smiled and said: "Who wants you to take care of me? You are pregnant with my flesh and blood. It's my turn to take care of you."

Xu Wanning is a kind-hearted person. Although she has been at odds with the Guo family over the years, she also knows that this is the nature of her mother-in-law. This is something that cannot be changed. Now that Li Xian has awakened and can stand on her side

Xu Wanning is content with feeling sorry for her and thinking about her.

Xu Wanning rolled her eyes at Li Xian: "Aren't all children like this when they were young?"

As soon as she got into bed, she felt her stomach churning again, and she quickly lay on the bedside and retched into the spittoon on the floor.

Li Xiang gently stroked Pingyang's back and said with a smile, "I will sleep with you from now on."

Li Xian stood up and walked to his wife, held Xu Wanning in his arms and said, "How come I don't know your grievances? It's just that my father passed away early, and it's not easy for my mother to be alone, and so do I."

Xu Wanning turned her head and said with a smile: "You are quite honest these days. Who knows if you will have any tricks in the future? How could I not leave a way out for myself?"

"If spending a handful of money can make your mother feel satisfied and settle down, I'd be happy to see it."

Xu Wanning quickly pushed Li Xian away, picked up her little son, and coaxed her for a long time before the little boy stopped crying.

She said cheerfully: "It's just a few coins, do I care?"

Li Xian was so angry that he stretched out his hand to scream at his wife. The sound of the two fighting woke up Brother Ping, who was sleeping soundly in the crib. The little guy started crying again at the top of his lungs.

Li Xian glanced at his wife's generous appearance, smiled and joked: "I know you have made a lot of money in the past two years, can you tell me how much you have saved now?"

Xu Wanning laughed so hard that she was out of breath.

Xu Wanning put her youngest son into Li Xian's arms and said angrily: "I've been praising my daughter all day long. It's been so long since I came back. How many times have you hugged this son?"

After his mother left, Li Xian sighed to his wife and said, "My mother is actually not a bad person, but she is a bit narrow-minded. You have been really wronged these years."

Li Xian replied: "Who said that? I think Sister Zhuang didn't cry as much as he did when she was a child. She was very well-behaved. She laughed at me when I hugged her. Humph! I think she's better off as a girl."

Li Xian put his youngest son aside in disgust and stared angrily.

Xu Wanning was silent for a long time, and then said with a smile: "I thought you couldn't see the anger I have suffered. With your words, the anger I have suffered all these years has not been in vain."

Li Xian was scolded by his wife and had to give up. The anger that had just risen in his body was extinguished by his son's urine. He sighed slightly and muttered, "It's hard to raise a child."

Fall asleep.

Li Xian couldn't help but sigh and said: "How can this kid cry like this? He cries endlessly."

Over the years, Li Xian has become accustomed to his mother's unreasonable troubles. Halfway through his words, he felt sad and couldn't say any more. He only hesitated and said: "I will find a way to give the money my mother kidnapped from you."

You made it up."

After the two of them had swaddled their little son and finally coaxed him to sleep, it was already midnight. The couple finally got into bed, and until they got into bed, Li Xian couldn't help but smell his underwear.

Li Xian took his son and just held him in his arms when the little guy started crying at the top of his lungs. Li Xian was impatient from crying. Just as he was about to hand it over to Xu Wanning, he felt his body getting wet. When he lowered his head, he saw that there was something on his chest.

A large area was wet by my son's urine.

Pregnancy is the most difficult time for a woman, so it is good to have her husband by her side.

Hearing this, Pingyang felt happy, but then he pouted again: "I can't take care of you right now, so wouldn't I be wronging you by keeping you here?"

As he spoke, he tucked his wife into the quilt thoughtfully and continued: "I will just sleep on the couch from today on."

Li Xian threw his wife down and said through gritted teeth: "I have treated you so sincerely, and you still want to leave a way out for yourself? This is simply unreasonable."

Pingyang had a satisfied smile on his face and murmured: "Husband, you are so kind."

"Go to sleep now."

Li Xiang put down the bed curtain for Pingyang, then carried the quilt to the couch. He extinguished the candle and the room suddenly fell into darkness.

Li Xiang sat on the couch and said to Pingyang who was on the bed: "I won't go to the West Hospital while you are giving birth. From now on, you don't have to ask them to send you Zitang."
