Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 1365: Making a Fuss Over Nothing

Mr. He took a swig of his drink: "Just say what you need to say, don’t beat around the bush with all that mumbo-jumbo."

Gao Yumei took a few steps inside and sat down: "I heard the government is starting some family planning policy, and in the future, each family can only have one child."

Mother He looked at her as if she were crazy: "Come on, what can you do with just one child? Alright, alright, go clean up your yard that looks like a pigsty instead of rambling here."

"Oh, Mom, how can you not believe it?"

"Shoo, shoo, shoo, even if it’s true, so what? What’s it got to do with us? You’ve just got too much time on your hands."

"How can it not matter? In our family, only Third hasn’t had kids yet..."

"You from the second house, can you watch your mouth? What do you mean Third hasn’t had kids? Didn’t she call back a while ago to say his wife is pregnant? Do you want to lose your mouth or what?"

"No, that’s not what I meant. What I mean is, if Third’s wife ends up having a girl this time, then in the future, among the brothers, only Third won’t have a son."

These words directly enraged Mother He, who picked up the broom beside her and threw it: "What kind of sister-in-law are you? If you can’t speak properly, just shut up and get the heck out."

Gao Yumei couldn’t dodge in time and got hit by the broom: "Oh, I’m just here kindly to tell you, Mom, how can you get physical with me?"

"Is that kindness?

Never mind if your news is reliable or not, even if it’s true, how do you know Third’s wife will definitely have a girl? Besides, I don’t believe it, managing everything and still trying to control women having children?"

Mr. He also didn’t take these words seriously, it’s unheard of to stop people from having children, absurd.

Mother He, not waiting for Gao Yumei to say anything else, directly kicked her out: "Get out, get out, stop being an eyesore here."

Gao Yumei didn’t get angry at being driven away: "I’m just worried about Third and his wife, if they make so much money and don’t have a son to inherit, wouldn’t it all go to outsiders?"

She said this intentionally for her in-laws to hear, so that if Third’s wife really couldn’t bear a son, they would surely have an opinion, and she didn’t believe they wouldn’t have other thoughts by then.

As for Xinyan, at the end of this term, she notified the school that she would be taking a leave of absence in the next semester to prepare for childbirth.

The school leadership, seeing her belly that was at least twice the size of other pregnant women, was a bit concerned and approved her leave immediately after receiving her application.

From then on, she was never left alone.

Most of the time it was He Jinxuan accompanying her. If he really had something to do, he’d either take her along or send her to stay with her grandfather and aunt-in-law for company, sometimes even to Granny Zhang’s to catch up with her senior sister, and sometimes her aunt would have her over for some rare treats.

When the weather was nice, occasionally the four pregnant women would even go out shopping, buying some stuff for the kids, living quite a cozy life.

That day, Xinyan was in the room packing things she would need for the hospital into a bag, preparing so that in case something happened, she wouldn’t have to rush. Then she heard someone outside shouting: "Is anyone there?"

He Jinxuan had just gone out on an errand, saying he’d be back right after, so Xinyan had to come out of the courtyard herself: "Who is it?"

The person outside replied: "The post office, there’s a package slip for He Jinxuan."

Xinyan opened the door: "My husband went out. Can I sign for it?"

The postman was very familiar with the area: "Sure, Teacher Han, just sign here."

"You know me?"

"My cousin is your student, she talks about you a lot when she visits."

Xinyan wrote her name on the delivery slip: "What a small world."

The postman chuckled: "My cousin is Li Jiayuan, she idolizes you, says your lectures are even better than those of the old professors."

Upon hearing the name, Xinyan naturally knew who it was: "She is also very excellent and works very hard."

As they were chatting, He Jinxuan came back.

Xinyan handed him the package slip: "Here, you might as well not come in, just go get the package first."

He Jinxuan took it: "It’s from back home, I guess it’s the baby quilt and diapers the family prepared for the baby that have arrived."
