CHAPTER 324: CHAPTER 323: WHY NOT STAY (REVISED)

A large group of people followed inside with a whoosh, all marveling at how excellent the house was, praising everything here and there.

"Alright! We’ve seen everything! Let’s all go next door to rest a bit! Today is the wedding day for the two kids, let’s leave the space for them!" Xianglan took the lead and walked out, not forgetting to hold her two youngest grandchildren in each hand.

If you ask whom she loves among her grandchildren, she loves them all, but if you ask whom she loves the most, it has to be these two youngest ones! It’s not that she’s biased, it’s just that she’s deeply bonded with them because she has cared for them from a young age.

"Yes, yes, yes! Let’s head next door! These old arms and legs are quite worn out! Let’s go!" Li Xiuying chimed in, and the two old ladies walked out.

Of course, the adults had no objections and followed them out.

Wang Cuihua didn’t pause either, leading the sisters-in-law, elder sisters, and elder sisters-in-law out.

However, the younger ones frequently looked back, all wanting to stay with their big sister, reluctant to leave.

In the end, Zhang Yu couldn’t withstand his big brother’s pressuring gaze and coaxed them back one by one, which even cost him money. He must seek reimbursement from his brother later.

Since the trip to Lin Xue’s old home, Zhang Yuan realized this second brother was different from his mom! And not very close to them! Plus, grandpa also intended for him to spend more time with this brother! Thus, Zhang Yuan changed his opinion about him and was willing to let him be closer to himself.

A rosy and tender night, some were passionate, while others were in a bittersweet joy.

According to their customs, for the first three days of marriage, the bride is not allowed to work, not even allowed to sweep the floor. Fortunately, they were going to grandpa and grandma’s place for dinner the next day.

The two of them slept until the sun was high before getting up. Lin Xue pulled off the quilt to take a look, and quickly covered herself back up, burying her head under the quilt, her face starting to blush.

Scenes from last night flashed through her mind, causing her whole body to flush with warmth.

"Wifey..." Zhang Yuan’s voice sounded from above, "I’m getting up! I’ll go find clothes for you to wear today! Go wash up!"

Lin Xue suddenly remembered she could enter the space, no need to awkwardly hide under the quilt.

In an instant, the space under the blanket was empty, Zhang Yuan smiled dotingly, having tasted the sweetness, he pitched a tent once more, shook his head, got up, dressed, and calmed himself.

By the time the couple showed up late, the old couple were already a bit restless from waiting, and the old lady suggested several times going to check on them.

The old man still held her back, asking her to understand young people’s impulses, and only then did the old lady realize, her face breaking into lines of laughter.

She was soon to hold a great-grandchild! A great-grandchild!

When the couple arrived, the expression on the old lady’s face was uncontrollable, as she kept smiling at her granddaughter-in-law, her eyes drifting towards her stomach now and then.

The old man shook his head speechlessly, not recognizing this old lady.

Lin Xue had already noticed, grandma’s gaze was too obvious, hard not to see.

Instantly, chaotic images involuntarily surfaced in her mind again.

Zhang Yuan quickly served her a little steamed bun, "Wifey, eat more!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Granddaughter-in-law, eat more! You’ve worked hard!" The old lady immediately joined in eagerly, following her grandson’s lead, giving Lin Xue another serving.

Lin Xue, who had barely cleared her mind thanks to Zhang Yuan, was choked up again by a sentence from grandma.

Awkwardly, she lowered her head and kept eating, and without realizing it, she ate much more than usual. This made grandma’s eyes light up again.

"Grandpa, grandma! We’re heading back! We won’t come over these two days! We’ve still got guests over there and the weather’s cold!" Zhang Yuan held Lin Xue’s hand, with a dark face, bidding farewell to grandpa and grandma.

"All right, all right, you two take care! Come see us again after a while! Tomorrow we’ll visit your maternal grandparents!" The old lady got up joyfully and went forward to hold Lin Xue’s hand.

Her eyes couldn’t help glancing at her stomach.

"I’ll go back and tell them about it! Let Zhang Yuan come to pick you up tomorrow!" Lin Xue nodded, pretending not to notice grandma’s gaze.

"Oh, no need, no need! Let the driver take us there! You youngsters like to sleep in! Newlyweds, you two should spend quality time together! Don’t worry about us old folks! Hurry back!" Grandma waved her hands eagerly.

"We’re leaving now, grandpa and grandma!" Zhang Yuan nodded, greeted them, and pulled Lin Xue towards the outside.

"Sister-in-law Kang! Sister-in-law Kang! Is the nourishing soup ready? Hurry and let the young master and mistress take it!" Grandma suddenly remembered the nourishing soup she had ordered to be prepared early in the morning.

The newlywed couple, who had been calming themselves down, took a deep breath when Sister-in-law Kang hurried out, carrying the nourishing soup.

Lin Xue rubbed her forehead, this grandma was indeed full of antics, now chasing them out with nourishing soup.

"Wishing the young master and mistress a speedy addition to the family!" Sister-in-law Kang, oblivious, added this line.

The two hurriedly accepted it, got into the car, and fled without looking back.

Sister-in-law Kang paused for a moment, then covered her mouth with a chuckle, knowing full well that this was just shyness.

When Lin Xue and Zhang Yuan drove back, Lin Xia led a group of younger siblings waiting at the door.

Seeing their car return, they immediately ran up, with Lin Shan and Lin Chuan even helping to open the courtyard gate.

Lin Xue got out of the car, "Why aren’t you all waiting inside in this cold weather?" She went forward to check if anyone was frostbitten.

"Not afraid, Xiao Feng and Xiao Cai fell asleep, so we came out! We don’t fear the cold!" Lin Xia shook her head, showing no sense of being the eldest daughter, behaving more like a group leader of little children.

"Hurry inside!" Lin Xue led a few of them inside, "What brings you here?"

Lin Xia quickly ran up, "We missed you!"

Lin Xue raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Missed me? I want to hear the truth!" She didn’t believe it anyway.

"Big sister... our two aunts are clamoring for mom to take them shopping at the department store! We just came out to hide!" Lin Yun hugged Lin Xue’s arm from the other side.

Bai Rumei and her two sisters were also there, following them over.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xue wondered what trouble they were brewing this time. Were they hoping to exploit more benefits, perhaps expecting her mom to pay for them to buy something? Just then, Zhang Yuan, who had parked the car, walked over.

"Train tickets, easy to get?"

With a single question, Zhang Yuan understood his wife’s intent and nodded, "No problem!"

Lin Xue turned and led the siblings to the neighboring maternal home.

The wedding was over; it was time to plan their return.

However, she still wanted to spend the New Year with her maternal grandparents in the Capital City! If possible, she’d like to bring them to live in the Capital City.

But soon enough, once everyone dispersed, they’d have the freedom to come and go, bringing them over then would be the same. Her grandparents were still in good health, and by that time, her uncle’s family could come too, so the family wouldn’t have to be apart.

"Grandma, grandpa, how about staying here until after the New Year, and staying close to my mom for a few more days? She’s in an unfamiliar place here, no doubt she’d like you around to keep her company!" Lin Xue sat obediently beside the three elders, sharing her thoughts.
