Chapter 111: The Matter of Having Children
Xiao Wei nodded, "Made for my nephew."
"Eating is also reserved for my nephew," he added.
Knowing Bai Lu planned to roast chestnuts and his elder brother had work, both of them were busy. Xiao Wei could help take care of his nephew. As long as he looked after the child and shared some household chores, his elder brother wouldn't dislike him as much.
Xiao Wei didn't expect his elder brother to treat him like Bai Lu; he just hoped not to be disliked. If he took good care of his nephew, his elder brother and sister-in-law could focus on work, and his elder brother's attitude might improve.
But now, there was no nephew...
Bai Lu watched the little one's eyes turn increasingly red, holding a small drum in hand. She felt a pang of sourness in her eyes.
Softly consoling, "Your brother will have more children in the future, and you'll have another nephew."
"The little drum can still be kept for your nephew," she continued.
Xiao Wei's eyes lit up, "Do you have another nephew in your belly?"
Bai Lu's mouth twitched, "No."
The little one's eyes dimmed momentarily, then lit up again, staring at Bai Lu's belly.
Nervously, he asked, "When will there be another nephew?"
Bai Lu hesitated, "Well..."
"It's not my belly having children; it's someone else."
So, there's no need to look at my belly; my belly won't have your brother's child.
"But my brother's child is also your child, right?" Xiao Wei said confidently.
Bai Lu, puzzled, said, "..."
"Your brother and I... well... actually, he can have children with someone else in the future. When he marries a new wife, they can have children."
Xiao Wei was perplexed, "Why does my brother need a new wife?"
"He already married you, didn't he?"
"Our teacher said our country practices monogamy. A man can only marry one wife. Since my brother already has you as his wife, he can't marry a new one; it's a crime, and the teacher said he'd go to jail."
Bai Lu couldn't refute.
Normally a quiet child, today, he had so many questions, all oddly accurate.
Bai Lu felt a headache.
Before she could come up with a reasonable answer, the little one spoke again, "When will you and my brother have another nephew?"
"I know you're busy, but I'll help take care of the nephew," Xiao Wei promised earnestly, replacing the afternoon's despair with anticipation.
Bai Lu surrendered to the unexpected turn of events.
"Um..." She thought for a moment, deciding to shift the blame to the big brother, "Your brother doesn't want children for now."
Xiao Wei didn't believe, "No, he often looks at your belly after dinner walks. He definitely wants children."
How can a seven-year-old remember so well?
Bai Lu was speechless, "..."
Xiao Wei continued, "Moreover, if my brother really doesn't want children, he wouldn't have brought you home. He married you because he wants children, right?"
Bai Lu frowned, "Who told you that?"
"Wang Cuihua," Xiao Wei answered truthfully.
That loud-mouthed flower must have revealed this secret, considering the impact it had on the brothers' relationship.
Bai Lu admitted defeat.
This reason wouldn't work; she needed another one.
"When will you and my brother have a nephew?" The little one was anxious, brimming with expectations.
Unable to find a new reason, Bai Lu had to polish the old one, "Your brother said, when he earns more money, builds a big house, then he'll consider having a nephew."
Xiao Wei disagreed, "Our current house is already big. If my brother married you, it means he wants children. He wants children now."
Why can't we get past the child issue?
Bai Lu shook her head, "He doesn't want to."
Xiao Wei insisted, "He wants to."
"He doesn't."
"He wants to."
"He doesn't..."
"What are you talking about?"
A clear, low-toned voice intervened, followed by firm and steady footsteps approaching.
In no time, the tall and sturdy figure of a man stood before them, next to Bai Lu.
Extending his arm behind her chair, his large hand lightly rested on the chair handle, dominating the space.
Seeing this, Xiao Wei meekly reported, "Big sister-in-law said you don't want children."
Bai Lu: "!!!"
I didn't say that! I didn't say that! I didn't say that!
Glancing at the excited and nervous face of the girl, Xiao Cheng, catching sight of the small drum in the drawer.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and for the first time, he posed a question, "Do you want a nephew?"
Xiao Wei vigorously nodded, "Yes, big sister-in-law said you'll have more nephews in the future."
Bai Lu: "!!!"
I didn't say that! I didn't say that! I didn't say that!
I meant the big guy would have children with someone else!
"Xiao Wei misunderstood. I meant..."
"We will have one," Xiao Cheng affirmed Xiao Wei's response.
Bai Lu: "..."
Deceiving a seven-year-old, isn't that a bit heartless?
Also, the secret between the brothers shouldn't be shared with a third person!
Since Xiao Cheng entered, Xiao Wei's attention shifted, automatically considering his big brother and continuing to confirm the nephew's arrival.
"Big sister-in-law also said you want to earn more money, build a big house, and then have a nephew."
Bai Lu wanted to disappear.
No, she wanted to time travel back to the 21st century. The kids here are too untrustworthy!
This time, Xiao Cheng listened without objection. Instead, he agreed with Bai Lu's idea, "She's right."
Xiao Wei was stunned.
Wasn't the nephew coming anymore?
Bai Lu also sat there, stunned, and the big guy led her back to the room.
Closing the door and returning to the bed, she finally reacted, "How can you lie to a child? Children also have memories. You can't promise things that can't be done."
Sitting on the bed, Xiao Cheng shook open the quilt, casually asking, "What can't be done?"
"The matter of us having children in the future!" Bai Lu sat on the side of the bed, glaring at him.
Xiao Cheng looked at her steadily, "Who said it can't be done?"
