Double Happiness at the Door! Please Vote

Su Chen could already imagine how happy his Mom would be. Smiling, he said, "Mm, that's right."

And not just one—it was five!

Quintuplets!

Haha.

His Mom only knew about one granddaughter, and she was already this happy.

When she found out there were five granddaughters, and quintuplets at that, who knew how overjoyed she would be.

He had originally wanted to tell Mom everything in one go, but if he told her over the phone, he would not get to see her stunned expression.

And it was already December now, with only one month left before winter break.

He wanted to wait until winter break, then take his five daughters and their mother, Lin Wanxue, home and give his parents a proper shock.

The expressions on their faces would definitely be spectacular.

The thought of that scene made the smile at the corners of his lips deepen.

He was really looking forward to that moment~

Su's Mom said happily, "Then, son, you must treat your wife well. Since she can't have chicken soup right now, buy her more beef stew with potatoes so she can properly nourish her body."

"And you need to take care of all the housework—laundry, cooking, mopping the floor. Don't let your wife tire herself out!"

A pregnant daughter-in-law could not do heavy work!

She had to take good care of the baby~

"Mom, it's too noisy here. I'm at the supermarket buying groceries. I'll talk to you when I have time." The noise around him was getting louder and louder, and he could barely hear what Mom was saying.

"Alright, alright. You don't need to call Mom tonight. You two should enjoy your time together." Su's Mom happily hung up after saying that.

Then she hurried into the kitchen and said to Su's Dad, who was cooking, "Old Su, I just called our son. Guess what wonderful news I got?"

"What good news? I could hear you shouting excitedly just now." But the range hood in the kitchen had been too loud, so he had not heard clearly.

"We have a daughter-in-law!!" Su's Mom dropped the first bombshell.

"Really?!" Su's Dad immediately turned off the heat, set down the spatula, and turned around, his old eyes gleaming as he looked at Su's Mom.

"Of course it's true. I just confirmed it with our son, and there's an even, even, even better piece of news!"

"What could possibly be better than our son dating someone and preparing to get married?"

"Our daughter-in-law is pregnant! Hahaha!!!"

The moment Su's Dad heard the news, he excitedly picked up Su's Mom and kissed her on the cheek.

Su's Mom said shyly, "Old Su, we're already an old married couple. You're so annoying~~"

"I'm just so happy! This is wonderful—our daughter-in-law is pregnant. Our son really did amazingly this time!" Su's Dad said excitedly.

Su's Dad and Mom had always had a wonderful relationship. Though they were nearly sixty now, they were still as loving as ever.

"Mm-hm, Old Su, I want to buy plane tickets tonight and fly to the Imperial Capital. I want to go take care of our pregnant daughter-in-law."

"I'm worried our son will be busy with the bookstore, and he's a grown man too. He might not know how to take good care of her."

"The beginning of a pregnancy is especially important. If she isn't cared for properly, I'm worried there could be a risk of miscarriage. That simply won't do."

Su's Dad took Su's Mom's hand and led her to the living room, where they sat down on the sofa.

He carefully and calmly considered Su's Mom's suggestion.

Then he asked, "Did our son say he wanted you to go help?"

Su's Mom shook her head.

"Then let's not go for now. Our son only rented a two-bedroom place. If both of us go, it'll be inconvenient for the young couple too."

"Tomorrow, find some time to call our son and ask whether he wants us to go help. It's better to ask first."

"If he needs us, we'll go right away."

"If he doesn't, then let's not go and cause our son trouble."

After hearing Su's Dad's words, Su's Mom felt that they made sense and immediately nodded. "Mm-hm, alright, we'll do that."

"Wife, with such happy news tonight, can I have a little drink?" Su's Dad asked Su's Mom hopefully.

Because Su's Dad had high blood pressure, the doctor had advised him to quit smoking and limit his drinking.

Normally, Su's Mom never allowed him to drink.

But today, she was simply too happy. Su's Mom granted permission and said, "Mm, but only a hundred milliliters of rice wine."

"Wife, you're the best. Love you~" Su's Dad kissed Su's Mom, then happily trotted into the kitchen to get the alcohol.

This was wonderful. Their son was finally going to marry a wife.

And their daughter-in-law was pregnant too.

Truly, double happiness had arrived at their door!

No wonder, when he had gotten up this morning, he had seen a magpie calling outside the window.

What an auspicious omen—a tremendously auspicious omen~~

Haha~

Blushing, Su's Mom chased after him and asked, "Old Su, now that our daughter-in-law is pregnant with our son's child, we need to hurry and prepare the bride price, the wedding, and all those things."

"I checked our savings. We have eight hundred thousand."

"Let's take five hundred thousand out as the bride price for our daughter-in-law, and use the other three hundred thousand for the wedding. What do you think?"

Su's Dad came out carrying the alcohol and said, "That works."

Thinking of something else, Su's Mom felt another headache coming on. "But, Old Su, I just thought of something. When our son and daughter-in-law get married, are they supposed to live in a rental? Shouldn't we buy our son a home too?"

Housing prices in the Imperial Capital were far too high. The couple had originally planned for their son to work in the Imperial Capital for a few years before returning to Star City in Xiang Province.

Then they would buy him a new home in Star City.

But now their son and daughter-in-law were both in the Imperial Capital. They probably would not be returning to Xiang Province to work anytime soon.

"A house..." Su's Dad began to worry.

Homes in the Imperial Capital cost three or four million at the drop of a hat. Better ones cost twenty or thirty million, even over a hundred million.

The prices were outrageously high.

"Old Su, how about..." At this point, Su's Mom nudged Su's Dad with her elbow and asked tentatively, "How about we withdraw the money from that card?"

If they withdrew the money from that card, it would definitely be enough to buy their son a home in the Imperial Capital.

The moment Su's Dad heard that, he refused without the slightest hesitation. "No!"

Su's Mom moved her lips, but in the end, her shoulders sagged and she said no more.

Because if they touched that card, earth-shattering trouble would follow...
