CHAPTER 98: CHAPTER 98: WAITING FOR YOU TO HAVE KIDS

An Junxi was eager to discuss the matter with her father. She pushed her mother back into the ward and saw Yikun making a phone call in the corridor as they came out of the elevator. They didn’t bother him and returned to the ward directly.

Just as An Junxi was thinking about how to talk to her father, Mr. An proactively said, "Yikun said he would help us hire people to manage the farm and guesthouse. We will go to Yan City after the discharge."

An Junxi was very excited, "Yikun has already discussed it with Dad! That’s really great!"

Mrs. An was also very happy and said, "The house our daughter bought is still being paid monthly, and we helped with the remaining payments. When we go to Yan City, we will live there." In the future, they would often see their daughter.

An Junxi said, "We have many rooms at our home too..."

Mrs. An waved her hand, "There’s no reason to live with the in-laws. We will just stay at the place you bought."

"Alright." An Junxi was already very satisfied that her parents could move over.

An Junxi curiously asked, "Dad, how did Yikun talk to you that made you agree so quickly?" She thought it would be the hardest to convince her father, who was reluctant to leave his hometown.

Mr. An grinningly said, "Yikun said that when you have children in the future, we can go over to help take care of the grandchildren."

Mrs. An beamed with joy, "Yes, yes, that would be wonderful."

An Junxi blushed furiously, thinking Yikun really... How could he say such things to Dad?

Just then, Yikun walked in and saw the joyful faces of the two elders and his little wife looking embarrassed. He walked up and asked, "What makes you all so happy?" His hand habitually rested on An Junxi’s shoulder.

An Junxi shook off his hand and said coquettishly, "Don’t touch me."

Yikun was confused. He hadn’t seen her for a while, what did he do to upset Mrs. Gu?

Disregarding the elders’ presence, he held her hand and asked, "Are you mad at me?"

The elders didn’t say a word, just watching the scene with amusement.

An Junxi murmured, "You talked to Dad about grandchildren... It’s still far off!" Her face was red like a tomato.

Yikun suddenly understood, his little wife was embarrassed!

He said innocently, "If you don’t want to have kids so soon, that’s fine. Just let me know when you’re ready, I’ll cooperate."

"Hahaha!" The elders burst into laughter.

An Junxi angrily twisted his waist, "Yikun!"

Yikun dared not resist, suppressing his laughter, he said, "Okay, I won’t say it anymore."

Xinan Agricultural Plantation.

A man stood with his hands on his hips on a vacant lot, scolding the workers, "You’re dragging your feet. If you don’t finish this plot today, don’t bother coming back tomorrow! Anyway, there are plenty of people eager to do this job!"

The workers didn’t dare make a sound, their hands moving much faster.

The man continued to curse non-stop, only stopping when he got tired and went into a nearby house to rest.

Once the boss was away, the workers whispered among themselves, "I heard that An Deping beat his own brother so badly that he was hospitalized with a concussion. It was even the police who took him to the hospital. Isn’t he afraid at all?"

A coworker said, "He’s been acting like a bully here in Xinan for quite some time now. When has he ever been scared?"

Another worker chimed in, "He even wants to seize his brother’s property. Isn’t that despicable!"

"What can we do? His wife’s family has power!"

They all shook their heads in regret, "Looks like we’ll have to swallow our grievances again."

"Didn’t someone report his excessive pollution emissions? What happened after that?"

"Nothing came of it, and the person who reported got beaten by some thugs. Who would dare speak up after that?"

"Sigh, what a corrupt mess!"

An Deping sat inside the house under the air conditioning, drinking hot tea. Watching the workers toil outside, he sneered, "Peasants, poor as dirt and still trying to slack off right under my nose. Serves you right to be poor all your lives!"

Just as he was comfortably drinking, a woman hurriedly came in, "Ah Ping, something’s wrong! I just went to the hospital to see if your brother was dead, but I couldn’t find where he was staying. Even the nurses didn’t know. Isn’t that strange?"

Xinan only has one major hospital, where else could he have gone?

An Deping didn’t take it to heart, "Maybe he got discharged. Looks like I didn’t hit hard enough, didn’t expect him to be that tough."

"I checked at home too, he’s not there. I heard someone say that the night they were taken to the hospital, it was a police car from Yicheng with license plate A. How could they know someone from the Yicheng bureau?" Yicheng is the provincial capital, incomparable to their small county Xinan.

An Deping said, "Maybe he’s too scared to come back. It would be best if he never returned! His land is mine anyway. He doesn’t have a son. Would it be taken to Jun Xi, that wild girl’s husband’s family? Wouldn’t that be contributed to outsiders?"

Wu Fen pushed his head, "My brother told you not to flaunt around so much, but look, you’re still not restrained. If it implicates my family, how can I ever face them?"

An Deping was impatient, "Okay, okay. That An Dexe is useless. Even if I beat him to death, what then? His woman is in her fifties, dare she challenge me? And that An Junxi... she’s just a sharp-tongued girl. If she dares to come scold me again, I will deal with her sooner or later. Such insolence!"

"You think you’re so great. My brother said recently it’s tense, your new farm’s approval won’t be so smooth. You’d better keep a low profile."

"They just want money. I’ll send it to them tomorrow, alright?"

Wu Fen still seemed uneasy, "I don’t know why, but I’ve been feeling my eyelid twitch lately."

"You stinky woman, stop being a jinx."

"Dare you insult me?" Wu Fen shrieked, "If it weren’t for my family’s support, you’d still be living in a thatched hut! Dare you insult me?" She lunged at him, leaving three scratches on his face.

An Deping’s temper flared, but he dared not really hit his wife, so he had to give in, "Alright, alright, I was wrong, isn’t it enough?"

Wu Fen only calmed down after hitting him a few more times, "Hmph, if I don’t show my strength, you’d think I’m a sick cat!" She cursed as she went out.

An Deping spat in her direction, "If not for your family being somewhat useful, why would I put up with you, you shrew?"

His back aching, he sat down and dialed a number, "Xiao Li, do you miss your brother?"

"Boss An, you’re so bad, I’m Xiao Hong. Always remembering Xiao Li, then don’t bother coming to me."

An Deping immediately coaxed, "Who said I don’t remember you? I even remember your measurements. Want me to recite them for you?"

"Oh, Boss An, you’re such a tease!"

Just as he was flirting, he heard his wife’s footsteps at the door. He hurriedly hung up, and Wu Fen came in anxiously, "It’s over now, I heard the Environmental Protection Bureau Chief will come personally tomorrow!"

Terrified, An Deping fell to the ground, unable to even stand up, stammering, "Where did the news come from? Is it reliable?"
