Chapter 449: Chapter 449: Accomplished, Good Upbringing

Hua Yusen was being surprisingly understanding. He comforted her, saying, "They’ve only been married for three months. It doesn’t happen that fast, so don’t be anxious! After we got married, it also took us two or three years before we had children."

Hearing her husband’s comforting words, Feng Wanru felt relieved. She said, "You’re right. I’ve been too impatient. I can’t put too much pressure on Nuanyue. Actually, once the first one is born, the rest will come easily. A person can have a whole string of them."

Hearing his parents’ conversation, Hua Yusen began to understand how Zhao Nuanyue must be feeling. ’The pressure on her must be immense.’

"Don’t be anxious, and don’t pressure Nuanyue. We should let nature take its course with children. We’re not using any contraception, and we’re both healthy. Getting pregnant is just a matter of time. If you keep bringing it up all day, it just makes us stressed, and things get... discordant in that department, which makes it even harder to conceive." Hua Yusen reasoned with his parents, "If you have anything on your mind, tell me first. I’ll pass it on to Nuanyue in a gentler way."

Hearing her son’s thoughtful words, Feng Wanru felt a touch of envy and lamented, "My son is so considerate, and he knows how to dote on his wife! If you had been half as understanding as our son back then, I wouldn’t have been tormented by your mother like that! All day long it was ’have a baby, have a baby.’ The stress was so immense, my hair was falling out in clumps."

Hua Zhiqiang didn’t expect his son’s words to dredge up such old grievances in his wife. He was exasperated. Facing his menopausal wife, Hua Zhiqiang didn’t dare to be harsh, and he certainly didn’t want to argue with her in front of their son and daughter-in-law. So he said, "That was all in the past. You said it yourself—that was the old feudal society, with its old feudal ways. Everyone was like that."

"Yes, we were born at the wrong time. We weren’t as fortunate as the young people today," Feng Wanru sighed. "Alright, I’ll stop. I know what that suffering is like, so I can’t be a wicked mother-in-law and pressure my daughter-in-law about having children all day, just like my own mother-in-law did to me."

If he let his parents keep bickering, they’d never get around to eating dinner.

"Alright, the food is on the table. Let’s go eat and talk while we eat," Hua Yusen said with a smile. "It’s perfect timing, as I have some news about Yufen. I’ll tell you all about it."

The moment she heard there was news about her daughter, Feng Wanru’s attention was immediately captured. She asked hurriedly, "How is Yufen? That hard-hearted girl, she’s been gone for more than half a year without a single word. I know it’s because of discipline, but a mother worries. And what about Xiao Si? Is there any news about him?"

Feng Wanru’s expression was frantic. With a son and a daughter away from home, she, as their mother, often found herself unable to sleep at night, sighing with worry.

"I have news about Xiao Si, too, but it’s more confidential. I’ll tell everyone at once when we’re all together," Hua Yusen said, helping his mother into the dining room. "But don’t worry. Although there have been some setbacks, they’re doing well overall."

Hearing this, the heavy weight on Feng Wanru and Hua Zhiqiang’s hearts was lifted—at least by half. The rest of their worry would only vanish when Hua Yufen and Hua Yumu were safely home.

The dishes were all served, and Zhao Nuanyue called everyone to eat. Because they were about to discuss private matters, Feng Wanru dismissed all the staff. At that moment, only the five of them were left in the dining room.

"Yu Sen, there’s no one else here now, just family. Hurry up and tell us," Feng Wanru urged. "I won’t be able to eat a bite until I hear the news, so just spit it out. Don’t keep us in suspense."

Hua Yusen picked up a briefcase from the side. Inside was a letter, which had already been opened, proof that it had been inspected and was cleared.

Feng Wanru quickly took the letter. It consisted of three pages, which she read through eagerly.

After she finished reading, Feng Wanru passed the letter to her husband, Hua Zhiqiang, beside her. "Our Yufen is amazing!" she said with excitement. "To stand before so many people and forcefully refute those trying to slander us, helping the conference make great progress—she’s truly incredible! She’s my daughter, all right, a woman who’s a match for any man! As long as she can put her talents to good use, I am happy for my daughter."

Hearing her mother-in-law praise Hua Yufen so highly, Zhao Nuanyue, even without having read the letter, could guess the gist of it. She chimed in, "Yufen is fluent in Federal Language and Luo Language, which is the result of her diligent effort. She’s also excellent at structuring her thoughts and even better at expressing them. Foreign trade is the perfect job for her. With us backing her up at home, and her own hard work, Xiao Si’s help, and Liao’s guidance abroad, she’s sure to achieve even greater things in her career."

"Yes, yes!" Feng Wanru nodded eagerly. "Back then, when I saw Yufen studying those complex languages, I thought it was useless. But she said that if you want to catch up to and surpass others, you must understand their language. Looking back, she was determined to become an influential person even then."

After reading his daughter’s letter, Hua Zhiqiang was also very pleased.

"Good. Excellent. ’Learn the foreigners’ strengths to control them,’" Hua Zhiqiang praised repeatedly. "Every one of our Hua family children is promising."

"It’s all because you and Father raised them so well!" Zhao Nuanyue added, laying on the praise. The four Hua siblings each had their flaws, but those couldn’t overshadow their strengths.

"Oh, when it comes to raising children, I can’t take the credit," Feng Wanru said with a sigh, recalling their childhood. "Your father and I were so busy back then, we had no time at all. The older ones just raised the younger ones, and the younger ones watched over those who couldn’t even walk yet."

But those difficult days were finally over.

"The Hua family has good values, so none of the children went astray," Zhao Nuanyue said with a smile, and she wasn’t just flattering Feng Wanru; she meant it sincerely. ’For one child to turn out well is one thing, but for all four to be so accomplished is truly remarkable.’

There were plenty of families in Jincheng City of similar standing to the Hua family, but they spoiled their children too much. As a result, after the older generation passed away, the new generation of heirs completely lacked the ability to manage the family’s affairs, leading them to decline into mediocrity.

After Hua Zhiqiang finished reading, he passed the letter directly to Zhao Nuanyue, not to Hua Yulin.

This was because Zhao Nuanyue was the wife of the Hua family’s eldest son, her status second only to Hua Yusen himself. Therefore, family matters were not hidden from her. This was to let her learn gradually, as she would one day participate in managing the family’s enterprises.

Zhao Nuanyue didn’t stand on ceremony. She read it carefully, expressing her own admiration, before finally passing the letter to Hua Yulin.
