Chapter 284 -284: Going Back to Her Parents’ Home on the Second Day of the New Year

On New Year’s Day, Su Meixi had the day off today, and Gu Wei didn’t have to return to the military camp.

The two slept in before finally getting up to make a pack of frozen dumplings for breakfast.

In Feng City, eating dumplings on New Year’s Day is a tradition. Although they are now in Yun City, the habit remains.

The morning was very quiet, with only the sporadic sound of firecrackers from afar.

The quietest place was their home.

Although they seldom saw each other, they had been married for a long time now. While other families gathered together in celebration, their house remained cold and empty.

As Su Meixi ate her dumplings, she said, “I feel like we should have a child.”

Gu Wei immediately nodded, “Indeed.”

“But, we haven’t been practicing birth control recently, so why don’t we have a child?” Su Meixi began to doubt whether she was infertile.

Gu Wei quickly comforted her, “It doesn’t mean you’ll conceive right after you stop using birth control, many couples don’t use protection and still take a year or two to have a child.”

Su Meixi said, “I’ll go get an ultrasound when I have time to see if I have a retroverted uterus. It’s easier to get pregnant with an anteverted uterus, but a little harder with a retroverted one.”

“That’s an option, but the most important thing still is to get busy,” Gu Wei said, slowly putting a dumpling into his mouth and savoring it.

That action was too suggestive, and Su Meixi couldn’t help but kick him.

“Getting busy should wait until nighttime. During the day, I promised the kids in the neighborhood that I would distribute red packets to them. They might come over to wish us a Happy New Year soon.”

“Are the red packets ready?”

“Yes, they are ready. I prepared fifty packets, and two larger ones for Fang Shuai and Fang Xia.”

“Then let’s go out and hand them out later.”

“Sure.”

…

New Year’s Day is usually a joyous day for children, a day when parents tend to be indulgent unless they misbehave, and even parents relax completely, opting to even ‘lie flat’.

After handing out red packets, Su Meixi and Gu Wei went home to focus on family planning.

On the second day of the New Year.

Early in the morning, Su Meixi received a message from Li Shirui: Xiao Xi, do you want to come over to the house today?

Su Meixi paused for a moment.

This day traditionally was for visiting one’s maternal family.

If she went, it would be like accepting the Xi Family as her maternal home.

Xi Wanlin would surely go back too, right?

Su Meixi replied: No, I have to work today. Let’s do it another day.

Seeing that she wasn’t happy, Gu Wei asked, “Don’t you plan on going over for a visit?”

“I won’t go,” Su Meixi said with a smile: “It would just be awkward.”

The parents of the Xi Family had never publicly acknowledged her. If they did acknowledge her, they would have to explain how Xi Wanlin came about, and one of them would have to be made a goddaughter.

Xi Wanlin was unwilling, and so was she.

So, it was better not to meet.

…

Li Shirui waited at home only to learn that Su Meixi wouldn’t be coming back.

She had anticipated this outcome.

However, she felt deeply melancholic; she really liked Su Meixi and deeply wanted to give her everything she could.

But things hadn’t developed according to her plans.

She ultimately couldn’t bring herself to be ruthless.

Su Meixi didn’t come back, but Xi Wanlin and Li Hengze returned early in the morning, the young couple carrying big and small packages as they entered.

Xi Wanlin immediately went to hug Li Shirui’s neck upon her return, “Mom, I missed you so much these past two days. I wanted to come back yesterday, but people said you can’t visit your maternal home on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so I didn’t come.”

Li Shirui was still enthusiastic towards her, inviting them to sit down, and then went to call Xi Huarong down.

Xi Huarong didn’t have to work during the Spring Festival, and after coming down, he asked about Li Hengze’s recent situation, inquired about the bar’s business, just like any ordinary elder.

Then it was time to eat lunch together.

Xi Wanfen had gone to bed late last night, so she got up late today and only came down around mealtime.

Xi Wanlin inevitably had to comment on her, “Xiao Fen, how do you not know to get up earlier to help mom and dad? It’s not easy for mom to make a meal, you’re grown up now, you should be more sensible.”

Xi Wanfen retorted, unconvinced, “Isn’t that what you’re here for? Didn’t you help mom?”

“Just because I’m here doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do anything.”

Xi Wanfen glanced at Li Hengze and thought: Isn’t there also my brother-in-law here? It’s you two who came over for a meal, that’s why Mom had to cook. If you hadn’t come, I would have simply ordered some takeout.

But Xi Wanfen didn’t argue with Xi Wanlin.

She knew full well this sister was a fake, and if they continued to argue, Xi Wanlin would definitely get all glass-hearted.

Seeing that Xi Wanfen didn’t want to argue with her, Xi Wanlin knew that Xiao Fen must be afraid of hurting her.

This actually made her even more sad.

Now everyone was guarding against her, the fake daughter of luxury. The days of the past were gone forever.

“Dad, Mom, I want to stay at home for a few days to spend time with you,” Xi Wanlin said.

Li Hengze suddenly felt a bit awkward.

His wife wanted to stay with her parents for the Spring Festival, but what about his relatives? The Spring Festival was a time for family visits, and with his wife absent, how was he going to explain?

Li Shirui naturally refused, “Linlin, our two families live close by, you can come back anytime you want, but it’s better to spend the Spring Festival with your in-laws. Otherwise, others might say that our Xi family’s daughter has no manners.”

Li Hengze quickly nodded in agreement.

Xi Huarong didn’t say anything, but his silence spoke for his stance.

Xi Wanlin complained, “If I had known marriage was such a hassle, I might as well not have gotten married.”

Li Shirui said, “You can’t say that. These days, your mother-in-law and I are discussing your wedding. It should be arranged by the end of the Lunar Month. You should prepare well during this period and set up the wedding house.”

Li Hengze said, “I want to buy a villa for Linlin, as our wedding house.”

Li Shirui said, “That’s doable.”

Xi Wanfen quietly ate her meal.

She thought to herself, if the second day of the Lunar New Year was the day to visit the maternal home, then why wasn’t Sister Su coming home?

As it turned out, Xi Wanlin brought up Su Meixi on her own.

“Mom, why isn’t Meixi coming back to have lunch with you today?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Shirui looked meaningfully at Xi Wanlin.

After all, she was the daughter she had raised since she was little. How could Li Shirui not know what was on her mind?

She brought it up to show that she was sensible, to make people think that she didn’t mind her mother having another daughter.

But how could she possibly not mind?

If she didn’t mind, she wouldn’t have caused the scene of jumping off the building.

“She’s at work,” Li Shirui said.

Xi Wanlin probed further, “I ran into Aunt Bao a while ago, and I heard that Su Meixi’s husband is transferring jobs? Are they still staying in Yun City?”

Li Shirui said, “I’m not sure about that, it’s up to them to decide where to stay.”

“Oh,” Xi Wanlin smiled, “I hope they continue to stay in Yun City so that Mom can see her often.”

When she said this, no one responded.

Because nobody believed she truly felt that way.

After feeling awkward for a moment, she changed the subject, “Mom, when are you going to Grandpa’s place? And what about Uncle’s?”
