Farm Girl's Manor

Before Mo Yan could speak, the chubby girl grew discontent. She put down her soup bowl and glared, saying, "Clearly it’s Dad’s fault for not giving Mom a little brother. How can you blame Wanwan for being naughty?"

Upon hearing these candid words, the couple was stunned into silence. Mo Yan was the quicker to react, immediately covering her chubby daughter’s mouth and scolding with a stern face, "What kind of talk is that? Mom is in a bad mood, and it has nothing to do with you or your dad."

Unexpectedly, the little one had overheard the conversation between herself and Mom while playing with her little uncle and had blurted out the reason. She really... really wanted to spank her!

The chubby girl blinked back her grievance, silently accusing her mother of being "unreasonable."

Mo Yan had no time to attend to her chubby daughter, as she dryly explained to her husband, whose face was as dark as water, "Don’t listen to the child’s nonsense. My bad mood has nothing to do with that; don’t take it to heart."

Xiao Ruiyuan looked at his wife and could see right through her lie. He reached out with a somewhat stiff hand and patted her shoulder, intending to say it was all right, but the words just wouldn’t come out. Instead, a dense guilt suddenly welled up in his heart.

But Mo Yan misunderstood, thinking he was concerned about the issue and began to explain anxiously, "My mother came today and talked about children. It’s not something we can control though. It’s just a bit regrettable to think about it. Having a chubby daughter is already enough to worry about. Aren’t we happy as a family of three without a son? I’m only worried about the idle gossip you might face outside, so don’t take it to heart."

Xiao Ruiyuan took a deep breath, wrapped his arms around his wife and daughter in the middle, and shook his head, "As a husband, I don’t mind at all, and I’ve never taken those idle talks seriously. I am just very sorry to have let my wife endure these unnecessary annoyances..."
