Yu Xiao collected the money and sent the customer to the door. He watched the customer walk away before turning back to the store and sitting down at the table.
"Brother-in-law, thank you today!" Business was good and Yu Xiao was in a very good mood.
"Why?"
"Two of the small companies you introduced to me before came to pick up tea today, saying that their company benefits will be obtained from our store in the future."
"No need to thank me! Just make sure your sister's share is not missing out when the dividends are distributed at the end of the year!" Shen Yimo was happy that the tea shop was making money.
"Why should I get a share of the profits? It's all Xiaoxiao's credit!" Mingyao beside him looked at Shen Yimo in a reproachful manner.
"Sister, you're telling me this again! I'll be angry with you next time!" Yu Xiao pouted and looked at her sister unhappily after hearing her sister's words. Although she said this, she felt a little uncomfortable for her sister in her heart. If her eyes could see, she would definitely not say such a thing.
"Okay! Let's not talk about this! Next time I will say that this tea shop is all mine!" Ming Yao knew what her sister meant and deliberately joked with her.
"No problem!" Yu Xiao looked at her sister and smiled.
Shen Yimo held his wife's hand, looked at Yu Xiao and said, "Xiaoxiao, I'm taking Yaoyao back to the villa today. It's almost time now. You should close the tea shop too. Let's go together!"
Yu Xiao frowned and looked at Shen Yimo and asked, "Are you taking my sister back to your parents' house?"
Mingyao also looked in Shen Yimo's direction nervously.
Shen Yimo smiled: "Yes! Xinrou came to me today and said that my mother wants us to go back! I thought about it and decided to take your sister back. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!" Knowing what Yu Xiao was worried about, Shen Yimo took the initiative to dispel her concerns.
"That's good!" Hearing Shen Yimo say this, Yu Xiao felt a little comforted. She patted her sister's shoulder and said, "Sister, with brother-in-law here, nothing will happen!"
Mingyao looked in the direction of her sister and smiled: "Don't worry!"
Yu Xiao said goodbye to the two people and asked the family driver to drive him back to Ming's villa.
Mingyao and Shen Yimo went directly back to the Shen family to meet their future parents-in-law. Along the way, thinking about how it had been a year since she and Shen Yimo registered their marriage, and this was her first time going to the villa, Mingyao felt uneasy. She had known Shen Yimo's parents since she was a child. At that time, Shen Guanting and Kong Yumeng were busy with business, so they rarely went home. But they would always meet during the holidays. Before she became blind, Shen Yimo's mother Kong Yumeng was very nice to her, but since she became blind, she has never met his mother once. She couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Yaoyao, don't worry! Everything will be fine!" Shen Yimo looked at the road ahead, turned his head and reached out to hold his wife's hand.
He understood her uneasy mood better than anyone else!
"Yeah..." She nodded with a smile, not wanting him to worry about her.
The way home is actually very short, but for Mingyao, it is an invisible torment!
Kong Yumeng had known that her son would bring Mingyao back today. As soon as her son's car stopped in front of the villa, she came out to greet him with a smile. Since the day she learned that Mingyao was still alive, she had seen her from a distance several times, but this was the first time she had such a close chance. Watching her son and daughter-in-law getting closer and closer, Kong Yumeng locked her eyes tightly on Mingyao.
"Mom, we're back!" Shen Yimo took Mingyao to his mother.
Kong Yumeng stared at the scar on Mingyao's eye, shook her head and sighed: "Tsk tsk tsk! Yaoyao used to be such a good child! How did she become like this? Sigh!"
"Hello, Mom!" Hearing the direction from which Kong Yumeng's voice came, Mingyao greeted her mother-in-law with a smile.
"Oh, okay! Okay! Let's go, let's go into the house!" After saying that, he reached out and took Mingyao's hand and led her into the living room.
When the three of them walked into the living room, Shen Xinrou also came over with a smile and greeted her eldest brother and sister-in-law. Shen Guanting received a call from his son today, so he came back earlier than usual. At this time, he was sitting on the sofa drinking tea. Seeing the three people coming together, he smiled and asked Mingyao to sit down.
Because his son and daughter-in-law came back together, the atmosphere in the Shen family was better today than before, and no one in the Shen family mentioned the past. During dinner, Kong Yumeng looked at her son and daughter-in-law across from her and expressed her request.
"Yi Mo, Yao Yao, you have been married for such a long time, can you consider having a child now?"
As soon as Kong Yumeng said this, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at her, then at Mingyao.
"Mom! Yaoyao's eyes are not in good condition now. Let's talk about this after her eyes are healed!" Shen Yimo put down his chopsticks and looked at his mother and answered.
"I know Yaoyao's eyes are not in good condition now, but it doesn't matter if she is inconvenienced! I can take care of her. It's only ten months, isn't it? When the baby is born, mom will help you take care of it! Besides, there are servants at home, so we can just hire a few more! It won't cause any trouble to Yaoyao at all! Besides, look at Yaoyao's sister, she already has two children now. Your father and I are old, so we just want to have grandchildren! Wouldn't it be more lively if we had children in this family? Yaoyao, what do you think?" Kong Yumeng's words were so reasonable that people couldn't refute them for a while. Knowing that her son would definitely not listen to her, Kong Yumeng looked directly at her daughter-in-law Mingyao when she finished speaking.
Ming Yao bit her lip lightly and was about to answer when Shen Yimo interrupted her.
"Mom! I know you want to have a grandson, but Yaoyao's eyes come first now. I can't take risks with her body!" His wife's current situation makes him worry all the time. If she gets pregnant, what if something goes wrong? He dare not think about it.
"You kid! What do you mean we can't take risks with her body? Did I let Yaoyao take risks? After Yaoyao gives birth to the baby, her eyes can still be cured! If according to what you said, Yaoyao's eyes will never be cured in her lifetime, then you won't have children?" Kong Yumeng looked at her son and persuaded him earnestly.
After hearing what her mother-in-law said, Mingyao lowered her head slightly, with some complicated thoughts tangled in her heart.
"Mom, look at what you said, Yaoyao's eyes can definitely be cured!" Shen Yimo was immediately unhappy when he heard his mother's words. This kind of words may not sound like a big deal to others, but it is a huge blow to his wife.
Shen Guanting, who was standing next to him, also frowned slightly, looked at his wife and said coldly, "Look at what you are saying. Medical technology is so advanced now, how could Yaoyao's eyes be incurable for a lifetime?"
"Oh, Mom didn't mean what you understood. She just saw that others were anxious and she also wanted to have a grandchild. Sister-in-law, don't take it to heart!" Shen Xinrou, who was standing aside, heard what her father and eldest brother said, and quickly stood up to explain for her mother.
"That's right, I just said it casually. Yaoyao, Mom didn't mean it! Don't take it seriously!" Kong Yumeng also agreed with her daughter.
"Mom, I'm fine!" Mingyao smiled and shook her head.
Shen Guanting looked at Mingyao, then at his son, and pondered for a moment: "Yi Mo, Yaoyao, although some of your mother's words are inappropriate, I think you should still consider having a child! If you have a child and then focus on treating your eyes, you won't have to worry about anything. Yi Mo, what do you think?"
"Dad! I don't..." Shen Yimo was interrupted by Ming Yao beside him when he was halfway through his words.
"Dad, Mom, we will listen to you and have a baby first!" She had been thinking about it in her heart ever since her mother-in-law mentioned this matter. After thinking about it over and over again, she felt that she was too selfish. She only cared about her own feelings and did not consider the age of the two elderly people.
"Yaoyao..." Shen Yimo looked at his wife beside him unhappily, not understanding why she would agree to his parents' request.
"Yi Mo, I think what my parents said is right! Although I can't see, as long as the family hires a few more servants, it should be fine! Besides, after the baby is born, we really have nothing to worry about! I don't want my eyes to delay the child's growth!"
"What do you mean by delaying the child's growth? We may be able to find a suitable cornea soon! What if you get pregnant by then and can't have the operation?" This is what Shen Yimo is really worried about. It's not that he doesn't want to have his own child. That is their future hope in life and the fruit of his and Yaoyao's love. But if Mingyao gets pregnant and a suitable cornea is found, no matter what decision he makes at that time, it will be painful!
"What you said is just an unknown! In fact, no one of us knows when we can find it! But the child is different! Once he is born, he will give me more confidence!" Mingyao knew her husband's painstaking efforts, but she couldn't be too selfish.
Shen Yimo looked into his wife's eyes, his gaze flickered with entanglement, and after a while he nodded slightly: "I'll think about this matter again!"
After hearing what Shen Yimo said, Kong Yumeng smiled more and picked up the chopsticks to pick up food for Mingyao.
The dinner was quite warm, but Shen Yimo was a little depressed from beginning to end, until the two returned to their bedroom. As soon as the bedroom door was closed, Shen Yimo took his wife to the bed and sat down, gently put her hand to his lips and kissed it lightly. Looking at his wife, he said firmly: "I won't let you have a child until your eyes are healed!"
"But..." Mingyao opened her mouth to explain, but Shen Yimo raised his hand and pressed his lips.
"For me, none of these will work. We can agree to it with our parents. No one wants to get pregnant the next day after having a baby!"
"But what if time passes? You can't tell lies every day, right?"
"Then just tell them that you can't get pregnant! If it doesn't work, I will go to the hospital and find a doctor to get in through the back door, and then say that I'm not good enough and that's why you are infertile, haha!" Shen Yimo smiled and hugged his wife in his arms, and found that this idea he had was really a good one.
Listening to Shen Yimo's words so easily, Mingyao's tears instantly flowed down, and all the words were choked in her throat. She just reached out and hugged him tightly, sobbing in his arms: "Shen Yimo, you fool..." (To be continued)
