Chapter 1070 - 1059: An Unkind Stepmother
"Little sister, I never expected you had a knack for cooking," Ye Sheng said, patting his full belly.
Ye Qiu glared at him, "You’re the one that’s a cook here!"
"Am I wrong? Aren’t you their personal chef now?"
"If you can’t speak nicely, then don’t speak at all." Fan Ning pinched her husband, "Take the kids out for a walk."
Remembering earlier, Ye Sheng didn’t say anything else and went outside with his brother-in-law and the two kids to digest.
"Second Sister-in-law, is there something you wanted to talk to me about?"
"Oh, getting smarter, huh?" Ye Tan looked at her with a peculiar smile.
Unconvinced, Ye Qiu said, "When was I not smart? Don’t look down on me."
"Alright, why do siblings always have to bicker when they’re together?" Fan Ning said helplessly, moving to sit beside Ye Qiu, "Little sister, I did have a couple things to ask you."
"What is it, Second Sister-in-law? Ask away."
"Uh..." Fan Ning chose her words carefully, clearing her throat, "Little sister, are you and your husband not planning on having kids for now? Is it because he doesn’t want to, or are you just looking to enjoy a few more years of freedom?"
"It’s not that we don’t want to," Ye Qiu said awkwardly, "It’s just that it hasn’t happened, and there’s nothing I can do about it."
"I think not having kids is good; it’ll be easier to get away later," Ye Tan couldn’t help but mutter.
"Can’t you wish something good for me?" Ye Qiu rolled her eyes.
"It’s been a year. If you want to have a baby, how come there’s been no news?" Fan Ning frowned, "Have you guys gone for check-ups?"
"No," Ye Qiu shook her head, "But Bingwen already has Xiao Xu, so if there’s a problem, it should be mine!"
"Who says it must be?" Ye Tan glared, "There are many cases where it’s due to later causes, why must it be your problem?"
"But Bingwen doesn’t drink or smoke, and he has a very regular routine of rest and exercise, what problem could he possibly have!" Ye Qiu’s face turned somber, looking somewhat distressed.
"Have you gone for a check-up?" Fan Ning asked again, "It’s normal for a woman to have issues. Since you both intend to have a child, it’s better to check and treat sooner rather than later. Once you decide to have a baby, it’s best not to delay."
Ye Qiu looked at her nervously, "Second Sister-in-law, I’m a bit scared."
"You’re usually so bold, what’s there to be scared of now?" Ye Tan said with a lack of good temper, "You’re just tough at home."
Ye Qiu turned her head and sniffed, "Don’t want to talk to you."
"You..." Ye Tan was so annoyed that she refused to look at her either.
Fan Ning was used to their interactions. Her husband was the same; he could be dignified and imposing in front of employees, but at home, he’d argue endlessly with his little sister, often getting jealous and throwing tantrums over trivial things, puffing and glaring after a few words.
The eldest sister-in-law was also someone who was elegant and poised outside, a successful businesswoman, praised for being both a capable helper and a strong woman, but she couldn’t do anything about her little sister.
However, when these siblings were together, there wasn’t much to say, only when the little sister was around would they often be driven mad. In fact, this half-sister got along better than the legitimate siblings.
"Little sister, without checking, there’s no certainty there’s a problem. Nowadays, there are many cases where both spouses clearly have no issues, yet can’t conceive. Then after divorcing, they re-marry and quickly have their own kids. It’s quite tricky to naturally conceive in such scenarios, maybe that’s the case with you and your husband?" Fan Ning explained.
"Is that really the case?" Ye Qiu hesitated to ask, "Alright then, I’ll find time to get a check-up."
"Alright, just remember not to forget."
It wasn’t only family that cared about her having kids but also online followers. Before, Ye Qiu would brush it off, but today she responded directly.
"Everyone’s asking why I haven’t had a child yet? Hmm...it’s not that I don’t want one, I just haven’t conceived." Ye Qiu smiled awkwardly into the camera, "Because I’m sure my husband doesn’t have an issue, after all Xiao Xu is his biological child, so I figured it’s my problem, and I’ve been avoiding it."
"On stream, it’s normal not to conceive right away, don’t lose hope."
"Yeah, I went through IVF, nothing to be ashamed of."
"It could just be that fate hasn’t arrived yet. Both me and my husband had no issues, but it took us three years after marriage to conceive, streamer, keep it up."
"Thanks for your concern, but my elder sister and sister-in-law have already talked to me, just like you said, there’s nothing to be ashamed of, so today I’m planning to get a check-up." Ye Qiu smiled at the camera, anyone could see she truly wanted a baby.
"Wish the streamer all the best."
"I’m due soon, streamer hopefully catches luck!"
"Blessings!"
"Thank you all, I’m about to head out, and if I really get pregnant, I’ll give everyone a big gift!" Ye Qiu sincerely thanked them.
"Looking forward to it!"
"The streamer will definitely successfully get pregnant!"
"Hopefully you’ll have twins, and then give out huge gifts!"
"The streamer usually gives out branded bags, Lipstick, and cosmetics, if your wish comes true, how big of a gift and how much would that cost?"
Ye Qiu smiled sweetly, "I certainly won’t let everyone down."
Because of this one sentence, the internet users were eagerly awaiting her test results. When she wasn’t streaming, they left messages urging her to broadcast soon on her main page.
"I have one good news and one bad news." Ye Qiu looked at the camera expressionlessly.
The internet users were startled by her serious face and quickly asked, "What’s wrong, streamer? Were the results not good?"
"No worries, if there’s an issue, we’ll treat it. With today’s advanced medicine, having a baby isn’t that hard, right?"
"Don’t be upset, streamer, we’re here for you!"
"It’s not as bad as everyone thinks," Ye Qiu chuckled, "The good news is my health is perfectly fine; I don’t even need supplements to assist conceiving. The bad news is, perhaps it’s just that the timing with the baby hasn’t arrived."
"The streamer looks so down."
"Most people who want to conceive but can’t right away feel this way!"
"Since everything’s fine, it must really be a timing issue."
"Maybe it’s the mood affecting it? Many are like this, the more you want to conceive, the harder it gets. Streamer, relax, maybe you and your husband should go on a trip, that might do the trick."
"There’s indeed that possibility, keep going, streamer, don’t worry too much."
"Thanks for everyone’s care, I’ll adjust my mood," Ye Qiu smiled again, "With everyone’s concern, how could I give up?"
