Jie Jingchen didn't argue. He basically accepted it. If they said he was infertile, then he was infertile. Whatever. He didn't care anyway.
Sun's mother was curious about what the brother and sister were whispering about in the kitchen. 'Are they badmouthing me?' she wondered. She hid outside the door to eavesdrop. It would have been better if she hadn't. What she heard gave her a shock.
Jing Ling's fourth brother was infertile! No wonder Qin Mei still hadn't gotten pregnant. So it was her man who couldn't have children. To be honest, Sun's mother was thrilled. She was practically gloating.
"Mom," Sun Dexiang called out.
"Shh." Sun's mother made a hushing gesture. Afraid they would discover her eavesdropping, she scurried back to the courtyard.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Sun Dexiang asked, holding a bunch of grapes. She was eating them with great relish, not even bothering to wash them.
"Ah Xiang, guess what I just overheard," Sun's mother said, trying to build suspense.
