juzi spoke with a tone that wasn’t too nice, which immediately angered Mrs. Huang Lin. She threw the rag she had been holding onto the nearby table and shouted at juzi, "You think I want to spend money on medicine for you? It’s because you can’t hold a baby. You miscarried once after having a girl, and now you just can’t get pregnant again. Have you even thought about how long you’ve been married to Huang Lin?" juzi frowned with impatience in her voice, "No matter how long it’s been, having children is a matter between Huang Lin and me." Upon hearing this, Huang Lin’s mother exclaimed in disbelief, "What do you mean it’s a matter between the two of you? Our Huang Lin is the only seed of our family, and the responsibility of continuing our family line is all on him. You’ve been unable to get pregnant, and how am I supposed to explain this to his deceased father and the ancestors of our Huang family?" "juzi, let it go, why don’t you go pack stuff for me first?" Fang Pingying and Fang Xiu, having just entered and witnessed the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law arguing, felt a bit awkward standing there and tried to mediate. "Sister-in-law, it’s okay, this argument was bound to happen sooner or later," juzi said to Fang Pingying, then she glared at Huang Lin’s mother without good grace, "If you think the purpose of Huang Lin marrying a wife is just to have children, then sorry, I can’t do that. Tell him to marry a sow instead, then he can have as many children as he wants." Huang Lin’s mother was incredibly harsh, "Even a sow is more useful than you; at least it can produce offspring. You can’t even give birth to a child." "You..." juzi was so angry she felt like hitting someone. Pointing outside, she said, "When Huang Lin comes back from work, I’m going to divorce him. He can marry a sow if he likes, and then your Huang Lin can be a stud boar and you can have all the grandsons you want." "You..." Huang Lin’s mother was also furious, pointing at juzi, her body trembling. Fearing the old lady might have a turn for the worse, Fang Pingying pushed Fang Xiu slightly, then each of them tried to calm one down. Fang Pingying pulled juzi aside and said, "juzi, stop arguing. If you don’t want to drink the medicine, then don’t drink it." "Auntie, please sit down and rest for a while," Fang Xiu pulled Huang Lin’s mother to sit next to the table and smiled, trying to appease her, "Actually, having children shouldn’t be forced. It’s a matter of fate. It took a long time for my sister and me to have children, too. Now that fate has allowed it, we do have children." Huang Lin’s mother felt uncomfortable upon hearing this and glanced up at Fang Xiu and then at Fang Pingying. She had met Fang Pingying before and recognized her, pointing at Fang Pingying, "Right, I know you. You’re Xiao Luo’s wife, right? You have children too?" Fang Pingying said nothing, and Fang Xiu immediately nodded, "My elder sister had twins, a boy and a girl." "Really?" The old lady’s eyes lit up. Seeing the old lady’s demeanor, Fang Pingying glared at Fang Xiu. If the old lady knew she had children but juzi hadn’t been able to conceive, wouldn’t there be even more complaints? But Fang Xiu didn’t notice Fang Pingying’s gesture at all, and she kept smiling as she talked to the old lady, "Would I lie to you?" It wasn’t clear what the old lady was thinking, but rather than harping on juzi’s inability to conceive, she smiled brightly and approached Fang Pingying, took her hand, and said, "My girl, you’re still here tonight, right? If you are, auntie will come by to see you later, all right?" Fang Pingying didn’t know what the old lady was up to but responded anyway, "Okay, sure." Having received an affirmative response, the old lady said very cheerfully, "Good, then if you have things to do, go ahead. I’ll come by to see you at your place later." Fang Pingying, unsure of what the old lady was plotting, greeted her and planned to leave with Fang Xiu. Juzi soon followed out, and she said to Fang Pingying, "Knowing that you gave birth to twins, I bet I’ll be pestered to death by this old lady tonight. She’ll be asking you for the secret recipe." Fang Pingying twitched the corner of her mouth; there was no secret recipe. But remembering Fang Xiu’s silly look just now, she poked Fang Xiu in the head and scolded, "It’s all because you talk too much." It was then Fang Xiu realized she had said too much; she looked at juzi somewhat embarrassedly and said, "juzi, did I cause you trouble?" juzi shook her head. "It’s not your fault. This old lady is just crazy for a grandson." "Don’t worry, what’s meant to be will come. Look at your figure; you’re definitely made for bearing sons," Fang Xiu winked at her, "Just work harder with your hubby, and you’re sure to get pregnant soon." juzi’s face turned red, and she slapped Fang Xiu, "Don’t talk nonsense." The group moved a few more steps up the stairs, almost reaching the second floor when juzi suddenly remembered the camera and said to Fang Pingying, "Oh right, give me the camera. You guys go back first. I’ll take the film to Chief Zhou to have it developed, and I’ll take the chance to talk to him about it." Fang Pingying handed over the camera that juzi had placed in her bag earlier, and then suggested, "You don’t have to go. Wait until Huang Lin comes back tonight and have him do it. Besides, Chief Zhou hasn’t gotten off work yet." juzi then remembered this detail and laughed, slapping herself on the forehead, "That’s right. Look at my memory. If my Huang Lin hasn’t gotten off work, how could Chief Zhou possibly have?" Thinking that juzi might argue with her mother-in-law again when they returned, Fang Pingying called out to juzi, "Then come sit at my place; you can also help me pack up my things. Although I haven’t been here for long, there’s still quite a bit to move." juzi nodded. "Do you need to move the furniture and all?" Fang Pingying shook her head. "I won’t bother with the rest, but I definitely need to take the sofa set and coffee table I bought last year. I plan to put them behind our clothing shop after moving, so customers have somewhere to sit when trying on clothes." "That’s perfect, just what the shop needs." They continued chatting as they walked. When they reached the stairwell, they unexpectedly ran into Aunt Qiu Lian from Instructor Su’s family washing clothes by the door.

I only came to the base today, and you two have just returned?" After saying that, she smiled at Fang Pingying and said, "Pingying, I heard that Battalion Commander Luo has been transferred away; are you still coming to the courtyard?" Fang Pingying nodded, waving the keys in her hand, "I’m just here to move out and free up the house." Qiu Lian looked at Fang Pingying with envy, "Sister-in-law, I’m so jealous of you. Your husband, the Battalion Commander, got transferred to the city. You’ll feel more at ease doing business in the city, unlike me." Fang Pingying patted her on the shoulder, smiling, "Don’t sigh, sister-in-law. About that thing you mentioned last time, I’ve given it some thought. Finish up your laundry, come over to my place later, and we’ll talk properly." Hearing this, Qiu Lian immediately perked up, "Ah, I’ll just leave my laundry here, I’ll wash it when I come back tonight. Let’s go to your place first to help you pack."
