Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 127 Sister-in-law is pregnant
"You're back. What did you buy?"

On this day, when Kang Qirui and Zhu Wanling were chatting with their old lady's mother in the living room, Xianglan and Da Laoguang came back, each carrying a big bag of things. The mother asked a question.

"They are all daily necessities. I also bought some wool. Now there is still some time before the New Year, and I was thinking of knitting a pair of woolen trousers for you and my mother." Xianglan said with a smile. The new year is approaching, and although their family environment has improved a lot this year, she is still used to making things by herself and giving them to her parents.

Kang Qirui was more used to spending money to buy things for his parents. They each had their own advantages. "With the weather in Guangzhou, I'm afraid your woolen pants won't fit." He said deliberately. "Haha, no need. I'm knitting them myself." The mother declined the offer because she was afraid that Xianglan would be too tired. In fact, she was knitting for the baby in Wanling's belly.

"Xianglan knitted a warm card." Da Laoguang insisted that the mother accept it, and the mother had no choice but to thank Xianglan. "Xianglan and Guang, come here, I will give you another new calendar." When the old man saw that Da Laoguang and the others were about to return to their room, he stopped them and went back to the room to get a pair of calendars for them.

"Dad, you've already given me four calendars." Xianglan was surprised to hear that her father was going to give them more calendars. There really wasn't enough space. "Those ones are all fat boys, this one is different." Her father unfolded the calendar, "Look at this one, it's twins, hahahahahaha."

Da Lao Guang and Xiang Lan were both stunned and felt very embarrassed. They looked at each other and didn't know what to say. The maid saw their embarrassment and spoke to help them out: "Xiang Lan, I've already prepared the meal. You can go back to your room to rest and change clothes, and come out to eat later." Da Lao Guang and Xiang Lan ran in immediately after hearing this.

Dad was in a bad mood when he saw the two people leaving without taking the calendar in his hand, "Really? What's the point of being so anxious? If there is, there is it, and if there is not, there is not." Mom didn't tolerate dad either, and said unhappily.

"Really? Do you think A Guang is still young?" The old man was not going to compromise on this issue. He pointed at Kang Qirui and Zhu Wanling and said, "How long did A Rui and Wanling get married later than them? The baby will be born in two months, and A Guang and the others haven't even said a word."

Kang Qirui didn't expect that his father would use him as an example, so he could only say, "Third brother got married to the eldest brother right after him, but they don't have any children either. Why don't you, father, go and urge Third brother and his wife to do something about it?"

"You have to eat one bite at a time. You are the boss, so I will urge him. After I urge him, I will urge A Yao. Come one by one. Don't be anxious. Everyone will have a share." The old man has his own reasoning. Kang Qirui shook his head, ignored him, and went to read the newspaper.

As a result, when it was lunchtime the next day, Kang Qirui felt that his father was still angry about what happened yesterday, because he kept staring at Xianglan. Xianglan also felt it, and she asked in confusion: "Dad, what's the matter?"

"No, no, no, it's a little dirty." The old man looked around and pointed at Xianglan's left face. The boss looked carefully but didn't find anything dirty. The old man made an excuse that he was dazzled. Suddenly, the second sister-in-law said "uh" and looked like she wanted to vomit. "Why do you want to vomit?" The old man was very confused.

It turned out that the old man couldn't sleep last night because he was thinking about Da Lao Guang. He got up in the middle of the night to get some water. When he passed by Da Lao Guang's door, he heard Xianglan say that she was pregnant. He thought Xianglan was pregnant, so he was very confused when he saw that it was the second sister-in-law who wanted to vomit, and why she had been staring at Xianglan today.

"Master, can't I vomit?" The second sister-in-law was also puzzled by what the old man said. She explained: "Recently, I always feel bloated and want to vomit." The mother put down her bowl and chopsticks, walked to the second sister-in-law and asked with concern: "Second sister-in-law, are you okay? Let me accompany you to the hospital now?" Among so many daughters-in-law, the mother-in-law likes the second sister-in-law the most. The second sister-in-law respects the mother-in-law the most at home. Their relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is really very good. "No, no, I have an old illness. I will be fine after a rest." The second sister-in-law waved her hand to indicate that there was no need to go to the hospital. "Then I'll go make you some porridge." After the mother-in-law said that, she walked to the kitchen.

December 12 was the winter solstice. Kang Qirui returned home early and found that dinner had been prepared at home, with fish, meat and wine. He didn't think much of it. The Cantonese people pay attention to the winter solstice, so it is normal to have a rich dinner on this night. It was not until the meal that his father spoke that he understood why the dinner was so rich today.

"Everyone should have a drink tonight to celebrate, except Xianglan, hahaha." The old man was smiling when he spoke. "Could it be that the legendary sister-in-law is pregnant?" It must be the second sister-in-law, so I knew it as soon as I heard it. Xianglan has been feeling something is wrong these two days. This morning, the eldest brother went to the hospital with Xianglan for a check-up and confirmed that she was pregnant.

"Mommy, what does it mean to be pregnant?" Tianxiu asked innocently. "Don't ask so many questions, kid. Let's eat." The second sister-in-law didn't answer and changed the subject. Tianxiu didn't really want to know, so he concentrated on eating.

"Big Brother, great! You finally have a son." The second brother was the first to congratulate Big Brother Guang. "No wonder Daddy is willing to bleed so much tonight. I just found it strange. There wasn't such a big meal on the winter solstice in previous years. I thought it was because of me, Kang Qizong, haha."

"Dad, there's no need to be so serious." Xianglan was a little embarrassed. After all, she didn't do this when Zhu Wanling was pregnant. She was still afraid that everyone would have objections. "Yes, yes. It's the eldest son and grandson." Dad's concept is still very traditional. Now he is just happy and he doesn't consider other people's opinions.

"Master, there is no one in our family who will inherit the throne, so what's the point of having an eldest son or a legitimate grandson? As long as they are members of the Kang family, they should be treated equally." Zhu Wanling was not very happy. It was rare for her to express different opinions at home, which made Kang Qirui feel magical. With her personality, she would not say it in public even if she was angry. It could only be that women's tempers are more changeable during pregnancy.

However, he also agreed with Zhu Wanling's words. This one was ready to give birth, and the other one was just pregnant. If Kang Qirui didn't know that his father didn't think so much, he would almost think that his father did this on purpose to disgust Zhu Wanling. The mother also found that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and secretly thought that her husband was really too happy and did things without thinking. Fortunately, she had prepared it in advance. She went to the kitchen and took out two stew pots, one for Zhu Wanling and one for Xianglan, to show fairness and justice.

Kang Qirui didn't intend to care about these trivial matters. He held Zhu Wanling's hand under the table and changed the subject: "Boss, do you want a daughter or a son?"

"For me, it's all good. I like both sons and daughters." The eldest brother said with a smile. But the old man still looked old-fashioned. "Of course I prefer sons." The old man said, "The eldest son and grandson, of course I prefer sons. Now the focus of protection in the family is my eldest sister-in-law."

Zhu Wanling got angry again at what her father said. As someone who was about to give birth, she should be the first in line, right? But Kang Qirui kept holding her hand so she couldn't get angry. But she wasn't angry, but someone else was. "Grandpa, I object. Isn't I the key protected person?" Tianxiu was unwilling.

Tianxiu doesn’t know yet that from now on, the days when he is doted on by the entire Kang family will be gone forever.
