Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Pouring Out One’s Heart_1

“Brother Xinglin, no need to be busy, I brought a few dishes from home, and also steaming hot buns straight out of the pot,” Zhao Erhu said while he didn’t consider himself an outsider, quickly tidied up the main room’s table, and set the dishes out. Zhao Xinglin carried the braised beef in one hand and bowls and chopsticks in the other.

Great-uncle heard Zhao Erhu’s voice and came out too, seeing Zhao Erhu with a food box in one hand and a basket in the other, “It was just to invite you for a meal, I told you Erhu, why did you bring so much stuff again, still acting so formal with your great-uncle.”

“It’s not about being formal, I can’t be formal with anyone but great-uncle. Haven’t I gotten enough from you since I was little? It’s my wife who thought only you and Brother Xinglin would be at home, two big men shouldn’t have to cook, so she made a few dishes for me to bring over. She also wanted great-uncle to taste her cooking,” Zhao Erhu subtly put in a good word for Lin Yue, considering great-uncle as a trustworthy family member in his heart, and hoping Lin Yue could gain great-uncle’s approval.

Zhao Erhu’s words made great-uncle feel comfortable. Seeing the dishes on the table, he smiled, “No need to taste, just smelling the aroma tells me it’s delicious. The pastries you brought before were excellent. Erhuzi, this time you’ve finally married a good wife, virtuous and skilled in cooking. Treat your wife well in the future, let her give you a chubby son soon, haha.”

Great-uncle rarely praised Lin Yue so highly. You should know Zhao Erhu’s first two wives didn’t gain great-uncle’s favor. Zhao Erhu’s first wife from the Zhao Family was somewhat better, although dull and stingy, unable to read people, she didn’t cause significant problems. But that Li Family girl, no need to mention her, a woman of loose morals, she ruined the Zhao Family’s reputation. Great-uncle would just sigh when she was brought up.

“I also need to thank great-uncle for speaking up for me in front of my dad, only then could I marry such a good wife. Originally, I thought I’d just live my life this way, but now I have someone by my side who knows the warmth and cool, what more could I be dissatisfied with? I’m definitely going to treat her well.

As for having kids, let me confess to you, great-uncle, I already have four sons now, I’m not worried about not having an heir. Whether to have more children or not is of little consequence. But my wife is fragile, and giving birth is a life and death ordeal for a woman in her lifetime. Zhao Family’s woman suffered because she didn’t recover well after giving birth, her health gradually deteriorated, and she left me and the children too soon. Not to mention Yueyue’s health is far worse than the Zhao Family woman’s. I think it’s better not to have children; I’ll be content living a good life with her and the four children.”

Having said this, Zhao Erhu picked up his cup of liquor and took a big gulp. These were the words he had bottled up inside, which he could only discuss with great-uncle.

“I can understand what you’re saying. Kids are kids, but your wife is the one who will accompany you for life. Take this old man for example, your cousin has married off, and your cousin brother lives in the city. In the end, it’s just your great-aunt and me living together. But have you talked about this with your wife? Which woman in this world doesn’t want a child of her own? Even if you have four boys, they are not her own flesh and blood, there’s a difference,” great-uncle said.

Great-uncle hadn’t finished speaking before Zhao Erhu interrupted him, disagreeing with the implications in great-uncle’s words, thinking he didn’t understand Lin Yue’s nature, and hurriedly defended, “My wife is different from the Wei Family woman. She treats the children very well. Whenever there’s anything good, isn’t it always the children first? The children like her a lot too.”
