The best part was that the sister and brother could support each other when they got old.
Mr. Gu was especially thrilled to receive the news, even more so than Gu Chengrui.
After all, although he had three sons, he hadn’t yet welcomed a grandson.
This was not only his eldest grandchild but also the first heir to the Marquis lineage.
This finally secured the future of the Gu family, particularly his branch.
He immediately bombarded Niu Fugui with questions about the birth details, including the child’s birth hour.
His laughter boomed even louder after learning the child was born at midnight. Mrs. Liu, observing his almost delirious state, remarked sourly, “There are neighbors around, dear. If they hear you, they might think you’ve gone mad.” “Let them think what they will,” Mr. Gu retorted nonchalantly. “This is truly a double blessing, and I cannot contain my joy!”
Niu Fugui, having witnessed the exchange, chuckled and said, “Congratulations, Old Master. I’ll take my leave now.”
Mr. Gu, still beaming, retrieved a silver ingot worth five taels and handed it to him.
“Please accept this money as a token of my happiness. Buy some sweet treats for everyone to celebrate.”
“Thank you for coming today, Niu Fugui.”
As Niu Fugui departed with a smile, Mr. Gu’s exuberance subsided. He turned to Mrs. Liu and instructed, “Don’t just stand there. Pack some remedies for Zhou Ying and the baby. We’ll visit them together.”
Mrs. Liu, realizing her son’s successful scholar exam meant future favors would be requested from them, readily complied and began gathering supplies. Meanwhile, within the room, Gu Chengye’s wife, Mrs. Sun, harbored mixed feelings about the news.
Fortunately, her husband passed the imperial examination in high school. Unfortunately, despite being married for many years, they only had two daughters.
Now that her husband had passed the imperial examination in high school, his status was significantly different from before.
She didn’t know if her in-laws would look down on her or if her husband would start taking concubines.
Or perhaps, he would consider marrying another wife.
This kind of thing happened quite often, and she was panicking.
But who could she talk to about this?
Suddenly, the cry of her younger daughter woke her up.
Seeing her awake, she hurried over to pick her up. After changing her diaper, she began to feed her.
Holding her soft and warm little daughter in her arms and thinking of her just five-year-old eldest daughter, her heart suddenly became firm.
She needed to find a way to stabilize her position. Only when she was stable could her two daughters have a good life, otherwise…
Thinking of this, after feeding her younger daughter, she called her eldest daughter in and asked her to watch the baby.
She got up and started searching the room. Finally, she took out a pound of gelatin that her parents had prepared for her and went to the main room to hand it to Mrs. Liu, saying, “Mother-in-law, here is a pound of gelatin. Please give it to my sister-in-law. It’s good for her postpartum body.”
“You’re so considerate. Let’s go together later.”
“No, I will wait for Chengye, as he should be back soon. When he returns, I’ll tell him the good news, and we’ll go together.”
After hearing this, Mrs. Liu thought it made sense as it was heading over there before noon. She would also wait for her son to return before going together.
This way, it would be both dignified and save them a gift, killing two birds with one stone. 𝖋𝖗𝖊𝖊𝔴𝖊𝖇𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖑.𝖈𝖔𝖒
She said, “Quickly change your clothes, and we’ll wait for Chengye. We’ll go together later.”
“Okay, you go ahead and busy yourself.” Mrs. Sun smiled and agreed, then turned around and returned to her room to change clothes.
She even changed the clothes of her two daughters..
