After all, starting with Xu Shiniang, all three brothers had married late, so their children had come late as well. It typically took them three to five years after marriage to finally conceive. But it didn't matter. Once the first child arrived, the rest followed in quick succession, popping out almost year after year.
Strictly speaking, the baby in Chen Wanqing's belly would indeed be the old lady's very first great-grandchild. Whether the child came from a granddaughter or a grandson, they were all her own flesh and blood, and she would love them all the same.
The old lady was beside herself with joy, quickly waving for Chen Wanqing to come sit next to her.
Mrs. Guo sensibly made room and said with a bright smile, "Mother, what you've been waiting for is finally here. Our very first great-grandchild! Once this little one is born, our family will be even livelier. You'll have so much more to look forward to in the days ahead."
