Mother-in-law put down her chopsticks and rubbed her belly. "I'm full, you all take your time." 0
 
With that, she stood up and left. 0
 
Sister-in-law quickly followed her out. 0
 
Ding Jian, on the other hand, wore a serious expression and silently began to clear the dishes. 0
 
I also got up. "I'm full too; I'm going downstairs to throw out some trash." 0
 
I casually hid my spare phone in the gap of the sofa before heading downstairs to dispose of the garbage. 0
 
When I returned, I leaned back on the sofa as if nothing had happened and turned on the TV. 0
 
After a while, Mother-in-law and Sister-in-law came back. 0
 
The three of them remained silent. 0
 
I guessed that Ding Jian had already started asking questions by now. 0
 
I quietly turned on my phone and adjusted it slightly. 0
 
Soon, I heard Ding Jian's voice. 0
 
"Mom, I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow." 0
 
"Okay, son, you finally understand." 0
 
"But what are you planning to say about He Xing?" 0
 
Ding Jian was silent for a moment. "I'll come up with an excuse to keep her at home." 0
 
"Anyway, once the test results come out, we can say whatever we want." 0
 
Mother-in-law laughed happily. "That's right, that's right, just like that." 0
 
"Even if He Xing knows the doctor, the patient's condition is private; the doctor has no right to disclose it to anyone else." 0
 
"Unless he doesn't want to keep his job." 0
 
Sister-in-law chimed in, "Brother, you're finally standing your ground." 0
 
"No matter how capable Sister-in-law is, can she outdo you?" 0
 
 
"Just listen to your mother and get your sister-in-law pregnant soon. When she sees the child, she will definitely thank us," Ding Jian sighed. 0
 
"Sister-in-law continued, 'Brother, do you know that your sister-in-law is having an affair with the owner of the Bun Shop? I saw them at the entrance of the community today, chatting and laughing together. They looked quite close. I suspect they have been having an affair for a while now.'" 0
 
I almost laughed out loud. It was a shame that Sister-in-law didn't write books; she had a knack for storytelling. I had indeed spoken to the owner of the Bun Shop and even bought his buns, but could that really be used as evidence against me? I was truly exasperated. 0
 
Ding Jian's voice carried a hint of helplessness. "What can you do about it? If He Xing really has her eyes on someone else, there's nothing I can do to keep her." 0
 
Their mother shouted loudly, "She wouldn't dare! If she dares to be with another man, I'll show her what death looks like." 0
 
Ding Jian hurriedly comforted her, "Mom, don't get worked up. You need to take care of your health first." 0
 
The mother coughed a couple of times. "Isn't this illness a big deal?" 0
 
"Forget it, I can't be bothered anymore. You all can do as you please," Ding Jian sighed again. "Mom, I understand. I'll make sure He Xing gets pregnant as soon as possible." 0
 
After hearing all this, my expression darkened. I couldn't believe Ding Jian was secretly colluding with his family to deceive me. It seemed I had been living too comfortably lately, allowing them to develop bad habits. Since they didn’t want to live well, I would just play along with them. 0
 
 
I want to see how long this illness can be faked. 0
 
The next day, Ding Jian brought back the news that his mother had been diagnosed with cancer. He hesitated for a long time before walking up to me and quietly saying, "Wife, let's put our work aside for a while and spend some quality time with Mom. Let's have a baby." 0
 
"The doctor said if she keeps a good mood, she might live a few more years." 0
 
I pretended to choke up. "Mom, how was the diagnosis made?" 0
 
Ding Jian looked at me awkwardly. "The doctor said it’s just like that; you know what I mean." 0
 
I raised an eyebrow at him. "Mom wants to hold her grandchild." 0
 
Ding Jian became even more embarrassed, scratching his head as he whispered, "The doctor said preparing for pregnancy is also very important." 0
 
I nodded in understanding. "Mom, don't worry. I will definitely help you take care of your health." 0
 
Ding Jian quickly grabbed my hand. "What about you?" 0
