Chapter 1417 - 932: Homecoming (2)
"Yes, yes...," Zhou Xikang nodded repeatedly, "Grandma’s right, it was my fault that made Taotao feel uneasy. I now promise in front of everyone that no matter if Taotao has a scar or not, I’ll treat her like a treasure! No matter if Taotao is thin or fat, she’s the most beautiful in my eyes."
Hearing her husband speak like that in front of the whole family, Yu Tao’s face instantly turned red, and she playfully glared at her husband and shifted the topic to Wang Lei: "Speaking of which, Third Aunt is the most amazing, she’s barely had any morning sickness since getting pregnant, and hasn’t gained much weight. She walks swiftly, making everyone envious."
Chuxia nodded in agreement: "Indeed, Third Aunt has hardly changed."
"You two, stop teasing me. I actually want to eat more and gain weight, I’m serious, but I just don’t have the appetite..." Wang Lei sighed, rubbing her belly, "I’m twice your age and my worries are certainly different from yours. Every day I’m afraid he won’t get enough nutrition, but even though there’s good food in front of me, I can’t eat. It’s driving me crazy."
"You call that not being able to eat?" Yu Tao shook her head speechlessly, gesturing at a bowl’s size to Chuxia, saying, "With that amount, Third Aunt can eat two bowls, and you say she can’t eat?"
"That means Third Aunt has a constitution that doesn’t gain weight easily..." Chuxia looked at Wang Lei with envy, "Third Aunt, your kind of constitution is really rare. If we could be like you at your age, we’d be quietly celebrating."
"You two are just trying to make me feel better." Wang Lei said with an embarrassed smile, "But honestly, after hearing you two, my worries have lessened a lot."
"You were just worrying for nothing..." Old Madam Zhou glared at her, saying, "She worries about getting fat, you worry about being thin, Xiangping worries about spots on her face, you three are really driving me crazy!"
"Mom, I’m sorry..." Wang Lei said with an embarrassed smile, "I just can’t help worrying. I do listen whenever you advise me, but then I can’t help overthinking again. Sometimes I find myself quite annoying, but I can’t control it..."
"Alright, alright, stop self-reflecting..." Old Madam Zhou waved a hand at her, "I’m not really blaming you all. Laosan’s wife, you’re always like this, taking people’s jokes seriously so they don’t even dare joke with you. Sigh, really, driving me crazy..."
"Mom..." Wang Lei looked at Old Madam Zhou with unease, really not knowing what to do. Since marrying into this family, everyone had treated her very well, and she felt very content, but some of life’s situations naturally led her to feel a bit nervous.
Of course, she knew her husband’s family genuinely treated her well, without any disdain, and she had no need to worry, but sometimes she just couldn’t help but fall back into old habits...
"Mom, if you say more, Wang Lei will be even more unsure what to do..." Zhou Shanping hurriedly tried to ease the situation, "She’s just like that, you know, so why bother being so particular?"
Old Madam Zhou laughed happily: "Well, Mom being so particular is precisely because of your attitude. Why is Xiao Lei always like this? Isn’t it just because you, as her husband, haven’t given her enough security?In the future, when you feel your wife is wronged, you should stand up and speak for her. Otherwise, why would someone marry you? Look at the troubles of having a child, if you still don’t know how to cherish her, it won’t work, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes..." Zhou Shanping nodded repeatedly, feeling full of helplessness inside. What kind of mother forces her son to stand up to herself for her daughter-in-law? His mother was certainly unique...
Zhou Gangping looked at Zhou Shanping’s face with glee, but his expression inadvertently caught Old Madam Zhou’s eye, and she glared at him: "What are you laughing at? Don’t think just because I didn’t mention you means you’re good. Xiao Hong keeps the house in perfect order for you, you should be thankful and treat her well, got it?"
"Got it, got it..." Zhou Gangping nodded quickly, looking puzzledly at Old Madam Zhou, "Mom, Xiaomi’s wife is back today, you should be so happy, why are you going around scolding people?"
"I’m going around because I’m happy, otherwise, why would I have the spare time?" Old Madam Zhou rolled her eyes at him, "When the family is harmonious, all things prosper, don’t you know?"
"Yes, yes, yes..." Zhou Gangping dared not express any disagreement and immediately showed a humble, respectful attitude, indicating he was taking it all in.
Old Madam Zhou turned to look at Old Lady Zhao, who was sitting there smiling: "Sister-in-law, our Zhou family’s mothers-in-law are like this, they like their sons to treat their wives well. Since Xia married into our family, you can rest assured that she won’t suffer any grievances."
It turned out the whole demonstration was for her sake to see? Old Lady Zhao was stunned and quickly smiled, saying: "Look at you, our whole family has been totally reassured about Chuxia marrying into the Zhou family for a long time, this is really... hehe..."
"Rest assured, they wouldn’t dare have a word of complaint..." Old Madam Zhou waved her hand boldly, looking at her second and third sons, "You both, say it yourselves, am I looking out for you?"
"Of course, of course, Mom is definitely looking out for us."
"Yes, Mom’s not deliberately saying things about us to make Auntie Zhao believe. I’m sure of that."
Zhou Shanping and Zhou Gangping swiftly expressed.
"Grandma, if you keep this up, you’re really going overboard..." Chuxia looked at Old Madam Zhou helplessly, "My parents, my grandparents have truly come to terms with it, they don’t feel I don’t deserve Zhou Mikang anymore. If you keep this up, they might start overthinking again..." (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
