Chapter 1211: Chapter 1183: Still Haven't Learned Your Lesson (Extra for 1800+ monthly tickets) Chapter 1211: Chapter 1183: Still Haven't Learned Your Lesson (Extra for 1800+ monthly tickets) Isaac changed his name, and given Mr. Yuno's personality, he definitely wanted his child to have a name that matched his second brother's child. Kiara pondered for a while in her mind names like Galen or masculinity, neither of which sounded good; she couldn't help but worry about her daughter's name.
Whether it's Cody Yuno or Cooper Yuno, none are great names.
But at this moment, the whole family was immersed in the joy of adding another member. By the time Mr. Yuno arrived, his third grandson had already been born. Although all newborns looked wrinkled and quite similar, he still found his own grandson the most beautiful. For a while, the entire family was in high spirits, in an exceptionally good mood.
Since it was a natural birth, after observing both the adult and child for three days in the hospital and finding no issues, they could be discharged. That day, Kiara wanted to visit Isaac, and Kiara's mother also went along.
Driven by Giorno, Kiara and her mother both sat in the back seat. As it was just family, Kiara's mother spoke without much reservation, immediately starting to complain.
“I thought you married into a high-ranking family, but now it seems that being high-ranking isn't so impressive after all.”
“Mum, what's gotten into you? Why would you say something like that out of the blue?”
Kiara was convinced that her mother-in-law had not mistreated her mother, so why was her mother wearing a look of resentment?
“When people ask me what my son-in-law does, I can't even tell them, and I've put up with that. Now when people ask how much my son earns, they don't believe me when I tell them. It's the New Year, and the son-in-law has also vanished without a trace. What the heck, not even as good as the guy selling cold noodles at the entrance…”
Whenever someone inquired about Edward Wheeler 'Bright Clarity', Kiara's mother would reply vaguely, leading people to assume he did some shady job, and this had already caused Kiara's mother quite a bit of resentment.
Her son had become successful, working at the headquarters, and he got there on his own merits, with a salary that had significantly increased. When Kiara's mother went out and talked about it, people thought she was bragging and didn't believe that her unambitious child could have achieved so much.
Both Giorno and Kiara laughed.
“Aren't you used to it by now?”
“I've endured that much, but look at the Old Yates Family, why is Edward Wheeler 'Bright Clarity' busy all year round? Can't those matters wait until after the New Year's to deal with? It's the New Year, work what! Why choose the New Year to make a fuss?”
After all the clamor, she was just feeling indignant.
Missing the New Year festivities was something that, in Kiara's mother's eyes, was very upsetting. What if he's absent every year? What about her poor daughter then?
“There's temporary work overseas, as a family member, you also have to be understanding. Your son-in-law can't possibly be this busy all the time.”
Kiara didn't care too much about all this; she had gotten used to it. Who asked him to do this job? There are so many holidays in a year; there are always some you can't spend together. She considered herself lucky; at least she could see him often. What about those who stay at home and can't see their husbands year after year? Who can they argue with?
“I don't care about that, but if you ever have a child in the future, no matter how busy he is, he must come back. He can't leave you to go through it alone!” As a mother, she didn't want to worry about so much, she just thought of her own daughter.
“What if he can't come back?” Kiara teased her.
“If he can't come back…” Kiara's mother was at a loss.
Usually so steady, Giorno didn't know what came over him today. Hearing the conversation between mother and daughter, he cooperatively turned on the car's CD player, and the melody of The Moon's Reflection on the Second Spring flowed out.
The menopausal Old Lady, already rich in emotions, couldn't help but become overwhelmed when she heard the melody and began to dab the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief, shedding tears.
“If he doesn't come back when you're giving birth, that would be too much.”
“Exactly, there I'll be, lying on the hospital bed with blood spurting out, trembling hands reaching for the sky, oh, I need to find my husband~”
Kiara's description combined with the melody was just too tragic.
Kiara's mother, feeling a pang in her heart, cried even harder.
“My poor, misfortunate daughter! How did you end up marrying into such a family…”
“Alright, Giorno, switch to another tune; don't keep playing this one.” Kiara could no longer bear to tease her mother upon seeing her cry so miserably.
“Okay, okay, I was just joking with you. Not to mention I still have several months until I give birth. Even if Camden isn't here by then, all of you from my family will be, and Abigail Nana will come over too. There's no way I'll be left to give birth so pathetically on my own. I was just trying to scare you.”
This was a “breakdown therapy.” Kiara mockingly brought up the one thing her mother feared the most and then provided a reasonable explanation to comfort the Old Lady, so she wouldn't worry unnecessarily during the next few months.
“You girl, making jokes at your mum's expense!” Kiara's Mother intended to lightly tap her daughter's forehead with her finger but, halfway through, she switched the target to the chair, giving it a fierce poke.
“Pfft! Mum, are you practicing your 'One Yang Finger' technique?”
Galen listened to the mother-daughter duo's banter throughout, laughing so hard that his stomach hurt.
Was this a mother-daughter conversation, or were they performing a comedic dialogue? It was just too funny, line after line.
“Practicing what? I was worried about poking your head and causing a lump on my grandchild's head! These things need to be taken seriously.”
“Here you go with the superstitions again! Mum, your hair got burnt, but how come your knowledge is still so limited? Where do all these peculiar notions come from?” Kiara was baffled by her mother's beliefs, which seemed to change every day.
“Tsk tsk tsk! Don't you say everything, you girl. You mustn't talk carelessly in the future, got it? When you're pregnant, that's when you should be most careful with your words. If you want to have a son, and someone asks you, you should say you're having a daughter. You should also keep telling Edward you're having a daughter. But apart from the gender, you shouldn't speak carelessly about other things like the man not being home when the child is born. What if it actually happens? *Sigh*, my hair was burnt right during the New Year; it's so unlucky. I'll have to go burn more incense, donate more incense money…”
Kiara had no words for the Old Lady's stubbornness and complained to Galen.
“Galen, don't you think these folk sayings are strange? A bunch of unfounded claims have somehow formed their own system, and after being passed down for so many years, there are still so many people who believe in them. Their universal influence is almost stronger than ours as psychologists.”
“Yes, these self-established claims are the life experiences that our ancestors summed up over the long years. Although some sound ridiculous, there are reasons behind their formation.” Galen had professional insights that were in sync with Kiara, so they could easily discuss such topics.
“That's also true; some superstitious beliefs can be explained scientifically.” Kiara glanced at her mother and casually asked,
“Mum, in that superstitious mind of yours, is there a belief that bedrooms shouldn't have house beams?”
“Yes, yes, yes! Having beams in the bedroom is not auspicious. It affects the relationship between the man and woman of the household. Any home with beams in the bedroom is inviting a murderous energy, ruining the harmony in the marriage!”
