Chapter 32: Part 2 — Since you didn’t want this marriage, I don’t want that even regarding the issue of giving birth to a child, you can't follow your feelings.

In the Jiang Villa, Su Yan had just finished eating lunch and was resting on the sofa while savouring the succulent fruits. The butler had gone out for errands, and the other servants also werent in the Villa. When she turned on the TV intending to watch a show, Auntie Wang had a solemn expression as she came down, her figure quite imposing. Su Yan by now trusted Auntie Wang. After seeing her expression, she immediately put down the fork and asked: What happened?

Auntie Wang had a complicated expression as she hesitated before asking: Madam, are you and sir using contraceptives?

Su Yan was stunned for a short while, not knowing whether to reply honestly or not.

With one look at Su Yans face, Auntie Wang understood everything. She said: Madam, You can be at ease. I wont tell this matter to Venerable Madame. If you trust me, you can tell me if it is your idea or Sirs.

Su Yan trusted Auntie Wang to be on her side. These days Auntie Wangs actions have been clear. She thought a bit before saying: It was my idea and husband also agreed to it.

Auntie Wang heaved a sigh of relief. If it was Sirs idea then it would have been anything but reassuring.

Madam, we are both women. Can you tell me why dont you desire a child? In her heart, Auntie Wang was a warm-hearted middle aged woman. At present, the young couple before her didnt wish to have a child, naturally she was full of curiosity. In addition, since she had become close with Su Yan as of late, hence she dared to ask such a brave question.

Su Yan picked up her fork and continued to eat the fruits. Her tone was normal, My age is not that high, besides, giving birth to a child is very painful.

Auntie Wang completely accepted this explanation. After all, in her opinion, Su Yan was younger than her children. She was still very young, who would want to become a mother very young? Her second reason was more true about not wanting to give birth to a child due to fear of heavy pain. Both of these reasons had nothing to do with the feelings between a man and wife. Auntie Wang relaxed and happily said: Anyway, if one gave birth this early, they would be able to restore their figure.

Do not want to at present. Su Yan shook her head, She intended to drag this out day by day.

Auntie Wang craned her neck to look around, then pulled Su Yan to go to the bedroom and closed the door behind her, only then she could feel at ease and boldly said: Madam, you are right.

Originally Su Yan was still puzzled, but after hearing Auntie Wangs words she became even more confused. Was Auntie Wang not always hoping that she would quickly give birth to a child to gain a strong foothold in the Jiang family? Why was she speaking such words now?

After getting married, in these 6 months you and Sir didnt see each other that often. These days the feelings are slowly improving but how long has it been? It will be good to delay having a child until later when the relationship has become stabilized at least. Madam, my words may seem crude but they arent. Men cant control themselves for the majority of time. Madam, if you get pregnant, then you wouldnt be able to approach Sir that intimately for at least a few months. During this time, if there arent any other women, it would be fine. But you also know that due to sirs status, many women were willing to deliver themselves to his doorstep. When a woman is pregnant, she is more likely to have accidents.

Auntie Wang continued enthusiastically: I will tell you of a matter, listen carefully and dont mention this outside. I have worked in the Jiang Family for many years, is the relationship between your in-laws good? But when your mother-in-law was pregnant with sir, she almost had an accident. At that time, in the Jiang Family there was one newly recruited maid, who was charming in both looks and figure. With one look at your mother-in-laws pregnant figure, ideas started popping up in her head. If your mother-in-law had not discovered it, who would have known?Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com

When Su Yan heard that, she was astonished, she did not expect such a matter to happen between her father-in-law and mother-in-law.

It seemed if Auntie Wang did not know a lot of gossip, she needed to unearth a lot.

Madam, dont think that it would be painful while giving birth to a child. Actually, after the prolonged period of pregnancy, when you give birth to a child, your feelings to your child will have unimaginable depth. You will think that your little baby is so very adorable. Mothers are mighty. Looking at your baby, you will feel that all the pain was worth it. The baby will be your most dearest one in the future.

She felt that Auntie Wang was suitable for negotiating. She was wavering somewhat now.

Seeing Su Yan listening intently, Auntie Wang felt satisfied as she came downstairs. After staying at the Jiang Household for many years, her thoughts werent old fashioned. She also didnt feel that like in ancient times, women now have to give birth to a child to have a steady place in the household. But the rich and wealthy families were different from the ordinary families. She read all the news and knew which familys daughter-in-law wanted to have another son in quick succession. Its not enough to have one, you have to have two.

Did a persons character not matter anymore? Which familys consciousness still stayed in the Qing dynasty?

No. One just couldnt help themselves.

It was the most cruel aspect. Children are not the foundation of getting on in life, nor does giving birth to a son sets ones mind at ease. But how many people can have a standing without a child?

In the late evening, when Jiang Jingchuan came back, he found that Su Yans mood wasnt good. He thought, did that Shen Peiran stir up trouble again? Not possible.

After eating dinner, when they went for a stroll as usual, Jiang Jingchuan asked: Whats wrong? Did something happen?

Su Yan hugged his arm and sighed: I am thinking of a very serious and profound matter.

Su Yans manner caused Jiang Jingchuan to smile, Lets discuss this serious and profound problem.

Jingchuan, if grandpa and grandma urge us to have children. What to do? Su Yan felt very conflicted in her heart. She knew she could not avoid this, she also knew that she wanted to have children with Jiang Jingchuan, just that she thought it was better to have them later than earlier.

Xiao Yan, I will say it again. I will not force you. He stopped and then turned towards her, bending slightly as he stroked her face and smiled: You are usually very intelligent, how come in this sort of matter you become foolish? We should be filial to our grandparents and respect them but we shouldnt also be blind. Blind filial piety is worse than being unfilial. We should undertake their expectations but within our limits. Trust me, my grandparents are the ones without common sense.

Su Yan left his arm and pursed her lips, You are saying such glib words. Did you not want to marry me at that time? Why did you not resist the pressure then?

Her tone was like a spoiled child. Naturally, she felt uncertain about this. In her impression, Jiang Jingchuan was a very independent person, if he did not want to do it, no one could force him. Since it was so, then why did he accept this marriage which did not go with his heart?
