Chapter 387: Goodbye Carambola(1/2)

 The water heater maintenance personnel arrived more than an hour later. After inspection, they found that there was a problem with the connector switch. After replacing it with a new one, it returned to normal.
Zhou Chen hugged Duan Xu. Duan Xu was Su Qing's son. Although she had divorced Duan Xifeng, her son's surname still followed Duan Xifeng.
It's just this name. Zhou Chen secretly complained about it at the beginning. What is it called Duan Xu? Isn't it good to call it Duan Yu?
After Su Qing finished helping in the kitchen, she returned to the living room and took her son from Zhou Chen. Seeing her son's happy expression, she felt even more surprised.
Her son was usually very noisy, and he was a little bit acquainted with others. Zhou Chen hugged him for such a long time, but he only grunted a few times. This was not like her son's style.
After Zhou Chen put down the child, he took out his mobile phone and started searching online.
In this world, his assets are very limited. If he wants to live comfortably, money is still necessary, so making money is his top priority now.
As a businessman who has reached the level of a boss in several industries, making money is naturally not a big problem for Zhou Chen as long as he has a certain amount of capital.
It just so happens that he still has a lot of money left in this world. Although it's not much, it's definitely not a big problem as a start-up capital.
If you want to make money quickly, financial investment projects such as stocks are naturally one of the fastest options. Zhou Chen is naturally no stranger to finance, so he studied it carefully with his mobile phone.
After a while, the door opened, and then a tall and slender woman wearing a woolen coat walked in.
"Mom, has the water heater been repaired?"
The first thing that Yang Tao did when he walked in was to ask his mother loudly.
"Of course it's fixed, otherwise the day lilies will be cold by the time you come back."
Xue Sumei came out of the kitchen angrily and yelled at Yang Tao.
Yang Tao looked confused: "No, Mom, I didn't do anything to you, did you? Why do you feel like you've taken gunpowder?"
Before she got married, she had no status in the family. Now that she's married, why does she still feel the same? Her mother gets in trouble with her whenever she wants. What kind of crime is this?
"Stop talking nonsense and come over quickly to serve the food."
Yang Tao looked confused. After putting down the fruit in his hand, he asked Zhou Chen and Su Qing in the living room: "Hubby, sister, what's wrong with my mother?"
"Auntie really wants a grandson." Su Qing said with a smile.
Zhou Chen stood up and walked to Yang Tao, his eyes filled with joy. After many years, he finally saw the person he married for the first time again.
He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to help Yang Tao smooth the bangs scattered in front of his forehead.
Yang Tao suddenly felt ashamed and gently backed away from Zhou Chen: "What are you doing? Mom and sister are both at home."
Zhou Chen: "Nothing, I just miss you so much."
"Stop talking, it's so embarrassing."
When Yang Tao saw his mother and Su Qing looking over here, he felt even more ashamed and his face turned rosy.
Su Qing chuckled and said, "Taozi, I didn't see anything."
Yang Tao took the opportunity to escape from Zhou Chen's clutches and walked quickly towards Su Qing.
"Sister, I bought you some edible fruit. I heard from people that eating more fruit during breastfeeding is good for the baby and will help the baby recover faster."
Putting the fruit in his hand on the coffee table in the living room, Carambola stretched out his hand and said: "Sister, give me a hug."
Su Qing handed her son over to Yang Tao and opened the fruit bag that Yang Tao bought.
"Peach, why did you buy such expensive fruit? This mangosteen is very expensive now, and this durian must be very expensive this season, and this..."
"This bag of fruit costs three hundred yuan for just a few, right?"
Starfruit said nonchalantly: "Sister, you can eat what I bought for you, you're welcome."
"Am I trying to be polite to you? What I want to say is, are you always buying fruits out of season like this? Are these fruits drugged? Also, even if you are rich now,
It can’t be made like this.”
Su Qing is a relatively traditional woman. Although she had good conditions in the past, she is still relatively frugal. Apart from giving gifts, she rarely sells fruit like this.
Zhou Chen said: "Sister Qing, you earn money just for spending it. If you don't have it, you can earn it again."
"Zhou Chen is right, you can make more money if you run out of money."
Yang Tao used to be very frugal, but after getting together with Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen gradually changed her habits. Especially when the bridal shop was doing better and better, she began to be willing to spend money.
Xue Sumei walked out of the kitchen and said to Su Qing: "Qing'er, just eat, it would be best if you can make the two of them poor."
"Taozi, Xiaoxu, give Zhou Chen a hug. You go to the kitchen and help me serve the dishes."
"Mom, not long after I sat down, you started to order me to do things. Am I your biological daughter?" Star Tao complained.
Xue Sumei was not used to it: "If you don't carry it, who will? Come on, don't leave any ink marks."
Soon, the whole family sat down and started eating.
Xue Sumei has been cooking for decades, but her cooking skills are still good, and her home-cooked dishes are also delicious.
Halfway through eating, Xue Sumei spoke again.
"Tao Zi, Xiao Zhou, don't blame mom for being too talkative. You have been married for some time, so it's time to put having a baby on the agenda, right?"
When she heard her mother talk about this topic again, Taozi lowered her head, winked at Zhou Chen, and signaled Zhou Chen to help her out.
Unfortunately, her little moves were clearly seen by Xue Sumei, and she said angrily: "Look at what Xiao Zhou is doing, I'm talking about you, Taozi."
Yang Tao raised her head helplessly and said, "Mom, it's not like we don't want children. This is not a bridal shop that has just been opened. It needs someone to watch over it. We'll have a baby in another two years."
"Wait another two years?"
When Xue Sumei heard this, she slapped the table angrily and cursed: "Why don't you wait until I can't move anymore?"
Yang Tao shrank her neck and was too scared to speak. She was really scared of such a tough mother like her.
Xue Sumei didn't care about that. She spoke again: "Taozi, please listen to me. You must get pregnant for me within one year and give birth to the child within two years. If you can't do it, don't do it."
You recognize me as your mother."
Zhou Chen sat nearby and didn't say anything. Instead, he watched the two women arguing with interest. He had not experienced this kind of scene for many years.
In his experiences in several worlds, there were very few scenes where the wife and mother-in-law always argued. Except for Yang Tao and Xue Sumei, even Nan Li and Zhao Na in the first world would often argue.
Su Qing saw that Yang Tao was speechless, and promptly advised her: "Auntie, don't be angry. Taozi didn't mean that. Pregnancy in this world is not something that can be achieved in a hurry. Look at me, I'm so tired after getting married.
It’s been many years since I got pregnant, so, aunt, you can’t rush this kind of thing.”
Xue Sumei glared at Su Qing. When it came to matters of principle, she didn't care who persuaded her.
"Qing'er, is it a matter of urgency now? Taozi and the others have no such plan at all."
After saying that, she looked at Zhou Chen again and asked: "Xiao Zhou, I can't count on Tao Zi. Mom believes in you. Come and show me your attitude. How long will it take to have a child?"
Zhou Chen said: "Yes, I want it tonight."
"Well?"
As soon as he said this, the three women looked at him in shock.
Zhou Chen's face had long been invulnerable, and he said very calmly: "Mom, what I mean is, start working hard from today, and try to get pregnant this month, and give birth to her before the year."
"Yes, that's right."
Zhou Chen's words made Xue Sumei laugh heartily, "Xiao Zhou, mom really didn't misjudge you, you spoke to my heart."
He laughed happily at Zhou Chen, but his face turned cold the next moment, and he scolded Yang Tao: "Taozi, do you see that Xiao Zhou's attitude has been revealed, what about you?"
Yang Tao glared at Zhou Chen. She didn't expect that Zhou Chen would betray her.
"Mom, eat first, eat first."
But Xue Sumei was not interested in eating, and continued to ask Zhou Chen: "Xiao Zhou, do you like boys or girls?"
"I like girls more, but I think it's better to have a couple, a boy and a girl, so that we have both children."
This is Zhou Chen's sincere thought. In terms of love, his father definitely prefers his daughter, but he will definitely not reject his son.
Although we are talking about equality between men and women, in most cases, a family with sons is definitely better than a family with only daughters.
The saying passed down by the ancients, raising children to prepare for old age, is not absolute, but it still has a certain truth.
Zhou Chen didn't expect his son to provide for him in old age, but simply thought that it would be better to have brothers and sisters, because he had an eldest sister himself, and his sister was really kind to him, and he was really happy to have a sister.
Xue Sumei's eyes became brighter and she was so happy: "Xiao Zhou, you really spoke to my heart. Yes, I regret it now. If there was another child, there would be no need to stare at Taozi. It would be annoying to death.
, I get angry when I see her."
