Chapter 887 - 861: The Second Brother Who Got Dragged In
"That girl is no good either, you two are nothing but trouble! Both of you are worrisome!" Mrs. Yu is currently worried about Yu Minglang’s marriage; a girl with a good career, looks, and family background, how is it that she’s at this age and still hasn’t found a partner?
"A snake is a reptile and a rat is a mammal, they can’t be in the same nest genetically. How could my father have two different genes? Mom! You can’t hit me in front of my wife!"
Xiaoqiang immediately leans behind Qian, and only then does Mrs. Yu reluctantly pull back her hand.
This brat, he dares to say anything.
"Mom, when you were pregnant with my second brother, were you often angry or unhappy?" Qian asks again.
Mr. Yu, the second old Yu, instantly seems on the defensive, confused as to what it has to do with him?
Mingyi also looks at Qian.
"Now that you mention it, I remember. When I was pregnant with your second brother, your aunt often made me angry, and I really felt upset during that time."
Since Qian dealt with Yu Xiaogu, she has become much more restrained. Although she is still a domineering old lady, she doesn’t dare to cause trouble in the Yu household anymore. Qian’s lingering influence is still there.
"I knew it would be like this."
Qian is not surprised at all.
"Why do you ask?" Mrs. Yu asks Qian.
"I thought about a foreign report I read before, a study on pregnant women and the children’s personality issues. Research shows that some pregnant women experience mood swings, which might affect their children’s personality, although it’s not absolute; it’s just a probability issue. But having a cheerful mood during pregnancy is crucial. Many men think women become delicate once pregnant and are annoyed by their mood swings—"
Yu Minglang immediately raises his hand, looking extremely innocent.
"You haven’t even gotten pregnant yet, have you? Besides, when have I ever dared to be annoyed by you?"
She’s the queen of the house; only she can bully him and establish unequal treaties. He wouldn’t dare to provoke her!
"I’m just giving you a heads-up. During pregnancy, women’s personalities and temper can change. Someone usually calm, like me, might become particularly irritable when pregnant. Someone usually understanding, like Mingyi, might become melancholy and prone to tears. As a husband, do not try to reason with your wife during pregnancy; there’s no point. Unconditionally surrender and coax her. The changes brought by hormones aren’t something everyone can control. You men should also try carrying a fragile belly for ten months."
"You speak as if you aren’t irritable now..." Xiaoqiang mutters softly.
This girl, she starts pinching, hitting, or kicking at the slightest disagreement. Sometimes when she’s angry, she’s even dared to kick Qiang, luckily his reactions are swift, he can instantly dodge those kicks meant for the little brother-in-law.
"What did you say?" Qian smiles tenderly.
Yu Minglang immediately sits up straight, "Wife, do you want more to eat?"
Qian glances at him, indicating she’s letting it slide for now.
The second brother and Mingyi, after hearing Qian’s words, seemingly offhand yet hitting the mark, react differently.
Mingyi immediately tries to adjust his mood so he won’t feel bad. If there’s a baby, he definitely doesn’t want the child to be affected.
Meanwhile, the second brother frowns for a long time, finally saying something that shocks everyone.
"I..."
Xiaoqiang thinks he should quickly comfort his wife, even Xiaoqiang can see something’s not right here.
When the whole family is happy about Mingyi possibly having a baby, there he is with a stone-cold face, who wouldn’t find that disheartening? Even the younger brother can’t stand it!
"Do I have personality issues?" Mr. Yu’s second brother focuses entirely on this point.
Good grief! Xiaoqiang feels helpless, and Qian also rubs her forehead. Mr. Yu is truly...
The second brother doesn’t see any problem with himself, he even earnestly tries to correct Qian.
"There are no personality issues as you say. Our company conducts psychological tests every year; I’m very healthy."
If not healthy, how could he fly a plane?
How could there be any problem?
Mrs. Yu’s lips twitch, then she turns to Mingyi, saying nothing, just silently patting his hand.
"Good kid, it hasn’t been easy for you."
Mr. Yu’s second brother, with his oblivious personality, is fortunate to have married Mingyi.
Unexpectedly, Mingyi shakes her head. "Second brother has no problem, he’s quite good."
"Hmm, our second brother farts, and she finds it refreshing." Yu Minglang hits the nail on the head.
"Ugh!" Mingyi covers her mouth, feeling nauseous.
Oh dear, she feels sick, she feels sick!
Mrs. Yu’s eyes sparkle as soon as she sees this reaction.
Mingyi feels uncomfortable, stands up while covering her mouth.
"I’m going to the restroom."
Yu Mingyi quietly stands up to follow her, still with that stoic face. Upon closer inspection, they seem colder than usual.
"That second brother..." As everyone leaves, Mrs. Yu sighs.
Maybe it’s the lingering effects of pregnancy mood swings; Mr. Yu’s second child’s demeanor seems missing a beat, yet ironically, he’s so smart!
"Panpan, how about grandma gives you some fish to eat. Eating fish makes you smart." Mrs. Yu pats Panpan’s head.
"Am I going to have a little brother or sister?" Panpan, who has been silent, suddenly asks.
The atmosphere at the table instantly turns quiet.
Xiaoqiang feels a mix of emotions and a bit of helplessness.
A kindergartener can see the situation, but does Mr. Yu’s second really not get it, or is he pretending to be clueless?
Mrs. Yu doesn’t know how to respond; she didn’t expect Panpan to ask such a question.
This child hardly speaks a few words in a day, yet his intelligence is surprisingly high. Since there was almost a case of autism before, Qian once warned the Yu Family that although this child is smart, his heart must be particularly sensitive; one must never make him feel a lack of love.
Common families want a second child, but the eldest often doesn’t agree. Nowadays, every family tends to have one child, and only children mostly feel conflicted about accepting a second child.
Mrs. Yu is unsure how to answer, afraid that a wrong word could hurt Panpan.
"It’s possible, maybe not, it really depends on the future." Qian replies on behalf of Mrs. Yu.
"What happens if I have a little brother or sister?"
"If you do, on the day mommy has the baby, you’ll receive a gift. What does Panpan most want?" Qian asks.
"I want some mechanical parts, like motors or special materials." These are what Panpan really loves.
"What do you want them for?" Qian is puzzled, feeling like she’s falling behind the times.
"I want to make model aircraft myself; the ones sold in toy shops are way too simple and not interesting." Panpan says.
Yu Minglang blinks, looking at the child raised by his second brother, where is the childlike demeanor? He’s so mature-looking!
"How old are you, can you really make it yourself?"
"I want to try." Panpan answers calmly.
