Bai Xiao couldn't help but laugh and cry, "Grandma, what do you take me for? A sow?"
"Grandma is speaking from the heart, child. Having many children is lively, and when they grow up they can help each other," Lady Ye said.
Bai Xiao retorted, "Then why didn't you have more children, Grandma?"
Lady Ye was taken aback, her eyes clouding over with sorrow.
Bai Xiao was scared, thinking she had said something wrong, and said nervously, "Grandma? I was just joking..."
"I know. Anyway, Grandma will be happy if you have more children."
"Alright..." Bai Xiao agreed somewhat helplessly. She could foresee that in the future she would need to keep having children for the Ye Family.
What she didn't know was the unsaid truth of Lady Ye: she had three children, each of whom was the pride of the Ye Family. Unfortunately, not one of them would be there to care for her in her old age.
That's why she so eagerly hoped that Bai Xiao would have more, and then more.
