Reborn in the Seventies: Pampered Wife, Owning some Farmland - Chapter 72

Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Striving for Two in Three Years_1
 

“But…” Yun’s mother finally spoke, then thought of another thing. She couldn’t just not let her daughter-in-law have children. Her eldest and second sons both had several children. Thinking back to the money Ahao had mailed home, which she had been saving for her youngest son, she figured it should be enough to raise two kids for a few years when the time comes. Once the children had grown a bit, her daughter-in-law should be able to find a job too.

Meng Yunhan also understood Yun’s mother’s consideration, fearing that Ahao alone could not support the three of them in the future.

Hearing this, Yun’s mother smiled and said, “Alright, let’s aim for two grandchildren in three years.”

Meng Yunhan was a little shocked; wasn’t her mother-in-law still hesitating just moments ago? How in just a few seconds did she change her mind? And there she was, smiling as if she could already see the two children born. This abrupt change… wasn’t it too soon?

“Okay.” Meng Yunhan agreed, but her mind was spinning.

What caused her mother-in-law to change her mind?

“Hanhan, don’t worry about this teacher thing for now. Your principal will handle it,” Yun’s mother thought for a moment and then advised Meng Yunhan, fearing she might offend someone over this and wanted her to stay out of it, letting them sort it themselves to avoid any danger to her daughter-in-law.

“I will listen to mother.” Meng Yunhan also wanted to stay out of it, fearing that some might covet her job. After all, being a teacher was much easier than working a strenuous job.

Yun’s mother, satisfied, glanced at Meng Yunhan, “Off you go to your lesson preparations!”

Meng Yunhan did not hesitate, “Alright mother, I am off to my room.”

After tidying up the kitchen, Yun’s mother also went back to her room and casually mentioned the matter to Yun’s father.

“Should we talk to the village head about this?”

Yun’s father paused, “Keep an eye on eldest son’s side, and Yunhan’s too. Although she is almost three months pregnant, Yunhan’s body is weak. You should look after her.”

Yun’s mother glared at Yun’s father and chided, “I am aware of that. After all, Yunhan is carrying my grandchild.”

Yun’s father took one look at Yun’s mother and added, “Don’t keep going on about a grandson. What if it’s a granddaughter she’s carrying? Let’s wait for the fruit after the flower blooms.”

“Alright, I won’t mention it again.” Yun’s mother was a little jealous and knew that Yun’s father was reminding her to pay more attention to her daughter-in-law, since her son wasn’t home. Considering it was Yunhan’s first time becoming a mother, she’d need someone experienced like herself to help look after her.

“Besides, since Yunhan already thought about joining the army, let her go. When the child is a bit older, hopefully the policy will loosen up and maybe Yunhan can still be a teacher in the army, receiving a monthly salary?”

Yun’s mother thought it over and agreed, “You make sense. I’ve heard Yunhan is a good teacher, with children being particularly obedient to her, and they all like her. She has a great deal of patience. It’s just a shame she didn’t get to go to a university.”

Yun’s father looked at Yun’s mother with surprise, “If they start college entrance exams again, would you let Yunhan take them?”

Yun’s mother paused, looking at Yun’s father suspiciously, “Did you hear something? Will there really be an exam?”

Yun’s father did not answer Yun’s mother’s question.

“If they really do reintroduce the college entrance exam, for the sake of Ahao’s future, of course I would let Yunhan take it. Once she graduates from college and gets a good job, my grandchildren will have a bright future,” Yun’s mother finally voiced.
