Rebirth: Regaining Joyful Moments-Chapter 1145 - 1147: Protect Aunt

"Good news, of course it’s good news. I ran into the daughter of my former teacher. She’s doing really well now and even had a daughter herself," Xu Nianhua said with great interest. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Just wait, your sister-in-law and I will get you a little niece," Su Lie latched onto the daughter topic.

Now, he was constantly talking about wanting a daughter.

"Brother, I’m not trying to rain on your parade, but what if it’s a son?" Xu Nianhua said to Su Lie, looking at him like he was looking at Xu Nianji last year. Back then, Xu Nianji also hoped for a daughter, but ended up with a son.

Su Lie’s mouth twitched, and he said, "I definitely have more luck than your brother."

"Is sister-in-law pregnant?" Xu Nianhua leaned in and asked eagerly.

"Soon."

Su Lie’s words made Xu Nianhua couldn’t help but curl his lips and say, "Lie, isn’t it a bit early to be talking about this now?"

"I’m sure we’ll have a little niece next year," Su Lie said with great confidence, working even harder every night, just to have a daughter.

...

"Wasn’t Xiaoyan supposed to have arrived in Ningbei yesterday? She’s not here yet?" Jiang Wanru received a call from Su Yan yesterday and prepared lunch early in anticipation of having a family reunion dinner tonight.

But it’s already afternoon, and there’s still no sign of Su Yan.

"Hasn’t Xiaolie come back either?" Jiang Wanru kept waiting at home, having not seen Su Yan for almost two years, she missed him terribly.

"Not yet, maybe the train was delayed, or perhaps Lie got held up in the city?" Xu Nianhua said uncertainly. They usually arrived at the county around one or two o’clock.

"Mom, why don’t we go to the market together and buy some more groceries?" Xu Nianhua suggested.

Jiang Wanru was so worried, so Xu Nianhua thought it would be better to find something for her to do.

"No need, I’ll go to the kitchen and cook. Today is a big family reunion day for us." Jiang Wanru smiled as she went to the kitchen to help.

"Hongen, why don’t we go wait for your uncle?" Xu Nianhua took Su Hong’en out, strolling around the neighborhood, so that if Su Yan returned, they could come back immediately.

Su Hong’en looked around but didn’t see any familiar faces. He asked, "Aunt, when will Uncle be back?"

"Probably soon," Xu Nianhua replied, adding, "I’ve only seen your uncle’s photo, but haven’t met him in person yet!"

"Good-looking," Su Hong’en turned his head and replied.

The aunt and nephew were having a casual conversation when suddenly, Xu Nianhua felt someone was charging at her like mad. It startled her, and she instinctively shielded Su Hong’en behind her.

"Xu Nianhua! It’s all your fault!"

Zhong Juan’s voice was filled with spite as she rushed at Xu Nianhua, intending to give her a good beating.

"Ah..."

Zhong Juan only felt a sharp pain in her wrist, and the next moment, she found herself sprawling on the ground.

"Murder!"

Zhong Juan shouted, having no idea how she ended up on the ground.

Xu Nianhua protected Su Hong’en and backed away, coldly saying, "Zhong Juan, don’t take everyone for fools."

"You hit my aunt first, my aunt was just defending herself," Su Hong’en said, puffing up his cheeks. Despite his young age, he spoke with authority.

"Hongen, you’re amazing." Xu Nianhua’s heart warmed at Su Hong’en’s words in her defense, and she looked at him with praise.

"She’s a bad person, bullying Auntie." Su Hong’en stood by Xu Nianhua’s side, clearly scared but still standing tall. His father had told him that he was a man and needed to protect his aunt.
