Sixty years old with the army, the heirless boss loves his fertile wife

Chapter 291 The Causes and Consequences of That Year

Zhan Zeye nodded.

If he hadn't been absent, things wouldn't have settled down.

"That makes sense. Although my father was scheming in every way, he truly loved Tang Chunlan."

Given the crisis the Tang family was facing at the time, marrying Tang Chunlan to a soldier from a respectable family, even if he was a rough and uncultured man, would still be the best protection.

If Tang Chunlan hadn't been so fond of weak, scholarly men and even considered eloping with them, her life would have been quite comfortable.

At least they won't be implicated by the Tang family and will have a hard time.

Unfortunately, Tang Chunlan didn't understand the good intentions of her father and mother, which benefited her even more.

In that case, she should be grateful to Tang Chunlan for running away from the marriage; otherwise, even without the substitution, her life would have been miserable because of her status.

The life of a capitalist's daughter is now universally condemned.

Zhan Zeye didn't hear Tang Qiyue speak and thought she was angry, so he hurriedly said, "Don't get upset. I only have eyes for you now. Even if we had a marriage agreement back then, I've found a way to get rid of it!"

Tang Qiyue: ...

She pinched Zhan Zeye's chin and stared at his face carefully.

We've been married for a few years now, and when we're together, it's still hard to resist each other's attraction.

No one is that kind of honest person.

"I know, you only have me in your heart!"

Tang Qiyue leaned over and kissed him.

Zhan Zeye was very satisfied. He turned off the light, hugged the person, and rolled into the quilt.

In any case, it would be difficult for them to conceive without medication, which also led them to be particularly uninhibited in certain sports.

They were all physically fit, and with their emotions fluctuating, they worked all night until dawn.

When the reveille sounded, Zhan Zeye went to do morning exercises with great enthusiasm, while Tang Qiyue continued to catch up on sleep, feeling sleepy. If her son and younger sister hadn't come to wake her up, she wouldn't have wanted to move at all.

Having too many children is really a problem.

One child is cute, but a group of children together is like a flock of crazy ducks, and she felt her head was about to explode.

"Second sister-in-law, you can't take it anymore?"

Zhan Chunying poked her head out of the door, teased her, and casually reminded her to get up and have breakfast!
When Zhan Zeye went out, he reminded Zhan Chunying that he would be very busy today and would not be back for breakfast. He told Tang Qiyue to heat up breakfast for her when she got up.

The table was laden with breakfast, and the children had been taken to school by their mother.

In the now quiet home, only Tang Qiyue and Zhan Chunying were having dinner.

Why aren't you busy?

Tang Qiyue remembered that Zhan Chunying also helped out at Zhan's mother's noodle shop. She would usually drop off a few children at school and then go there.

Zhan Chunying looked conflicted: "Sister-in-law, I won't be going over for the next few days!"

Tang Qiyue was puzzled.

Logically speaking, Zhan Chunying is someone who can't keep things to herself, so why is she being so hesitant?
Something just doesn't feel right.

"Did something happen?"

Tang Qiyue took a sip of the rice porridge, but didn't get a reply from Zhan Chunying. She looked up and saw that Zhan Chunying's face was red.

Not right.

Her intuition told her that something must have happened.

"Chunying, just say what you want to say, and I'll definitely help you analyze it carefully!" Tang Qiyue stuffed a fried dough stick into the porridge, putting on the appearance of a caring older sister.

Zhan Chunying gritted her teeth, remembering that she originally wanted Tang Qiyue to give her some advice, and said, "Second sister-in-law, I have a question for you. Is Bai Xu really not planning to stay single for the rest of his life?"

Tang Qiyue: ...

The porridge in her hands held no appeal. She immediately put the bowl down, clasped her hands together under her chin, and stared at Zhan Chunying with bright eyes.

"Feeling romantic?"

Zhan Chunying blushed when her thoughts were exposed, and she didn't forget to glare at Tang Qiyue.

Tang Qiyue didn't care, and even wanted to laugh as she asked, "You and Brother Xu haven't had much contact, have you? How did you end up with him?"

It's no wonder Tang Qiyue was curious.

Although Zhan Chunying had stayed on the island for several years, and Bai Xu would visit the children from time to time, there was absolutely no romantic relationship between him and Zhan Chunying.

One reason is that Zhan Chunying is too shy to get close to unmarried men, and the other is that Bai Xu is a straightforward person. He came to Tang Qiyue's place just to see the child and chat with Tang Qiyue.

They always disappear without doing anything to arouse suspicion.

"I heard he needs a partner, and I don't want my mother to keep pressuring me to go on blind dates, so I thought I might as well settle for someone. I won't take advantage of him. If he agrees, I won't need him to worry about me. I can manage the household on my own!"

Zhan Chunying spoke sincerely.

"If he doesn't want children, that's fine too. I'm already exhausted from taking care of three rascals, and I don't want to add another one!"

Fearing that Tang Qiyue might misunderstand, Zhan Chunying added, "Second sister-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely help you raise your three rascals to adulthood. I won't go back on my word!"

Tang Qiyue waved her hand.

When it comes to taking care of children, she is indeed not as good as Zhan Chunying. In recent years, it has been Zhan Chunying who has been taking care of the three sons.

Even if Zhan Chunying gets married, she will only be happy for her and will not try to stop her.

"There's no rush. I'm just asking if you really want to spend your life with Brother Xu?"

Marriage is a matter between two people, and it's definitely not something she can decide alone. If possible, she still hopes that Zhan Chunying can think it through carefully.

"That's why I went to him—because I didn't want a stable life!"

Zhan Chunying knew that Tang Qiyue hoped she would have a happy marriage, but she was a different person from Tang Qiyue.

In her limited life, she has witnessed too many marital situations. Of course, not all marriages are a mess. For example, Tang Qiyue and Zhan Zeye are the most ideal marital situation she has ever seen.

But Zhan Chunying was very clear-headed. She was not Tang Qiyue. She didn't have Tang Qiyue's good looks or abilities, and she didn't have the confidence to find a man who would dote on his wife like her second brother.

Moreover, she was afraid of having children.

Whenever she thought about how terrifying childbirth was, she longed even more to find someone to live with so that her mother-in-law wouldn't nag her.

Although there are many unmarried men on the island, many of them are chauvinistic.

Rather than serving a mother-in-law and her entire family whom she didn't understand, she preferred to continue taking care of her three nephews.

Bai Xu doesn't want to get married and enjoys research, so she might not go home even once a month. This way, she can continue doing what she loves.

The key point is that Bai Xu is Tang Qiyue's older brother and also likes his three nephews very much.

If she were to marry Bai Xu, Zhan Chunying believed he would definitely agree to her conditions.

Thinking about this, Zhan Chunying wanted to marry Bai Xu even more.

After thinking about it for a long time, she was planning to find an opportunity to ask Bai Xu, but unexpectedly, Tang's mother came to talk to Tang Qiyue about Bai Xu's marriage last night, so she wanted to strike while the iron was hot.

Seeing the expectant look on Zhan Chunying's face, Tang Qiyue could only say, "I can't say for sure about this, but I can help you arrange to meet with Brother Xu so you can talk it over."
