There were also some clothes, shoes, socks, hats, and other miscellaneous items. Finally, there was only a narrow single bed in the middle of the room. There was not even a wardrobe. Yun Lian’s room could only have a few small decorations. It looked very messy.
However, there was only one thing that made it worth staying. After the Zhou family changed to color television, they stored the black and white television in this room. This room could also receive electricity, so Yun Lian’s only entertainment was to watch this black-and-white television set in her free time.
“Have you been staying in this room since you got married?”
Liu Fang asked in disbelief. Although she had expected this, she still felt a little incredulous when she heard the news in person.
“That’s right.” There was a hint of bitterness in Yun Lian’s words.
She did not want to lie, but what else could she say?
“The child in your stomach is the grandson of the Zhou family. You have already been bullied to such a state while you are pregnant. When you give birth in the future, you might be bullied even more. Why are you so disappointing? Where are your usual abilities?”
Liu Fang shook her head and sighed, looking as if she hated the fact that she had failed to live up to her expectations.
“I wish it didn’t have to be like this, but my mother-in-law has always despised our family’s status. She thinks that I’m not worthy of her son and even looks down on the child in my belly. If it were not for the fact that I have the child in my belly, I wouldn’t have been able to enter the Zhou family’s front door.”
Yun Lian also sighed and spoke of her own difficulties.
“Furthermore, my mother-in-law even signed me up for the household management class. My belly is getting heavier and heavier every day, but I still have to take care of their family’s daily lives. My only hope now is that the child in my belly can be a boy. In the future, he can inherit the entire family business of the Zhou family, so I, as the mother, rely on my son to make a comeback!”
After Yun Lian finished speaking, a trace of determination and hope flashed through her eyes.
“That’s right, that’s right. We still have this baby in our stomach. I pray that the heavens will definitely let you give birth to a boy.”
Liu Fang looked at Yun Lian as she spoke. Her hands were clasped together, and her eyes were filled with piety. The way she looked at Yun Lian’s stomach also changed. It was as if that was not her future grandson, but a key that could allow her to sit in a mountain of gold and silver treasure trove.
“Is there a guest in the house?”
Not long after, the sound of the door lock was heard. Qian Yun walked into the house with big and small bags in her hands. She saw her husband chatting with an unfamiliar man on the living room sofa. She thought he was a business partner, so she did not think too much about it.
“This is not a business partner. This is Yun Lian’s father. Yun Lian’s mother is talking to her daughter in her room,” said the eldest son of the Zhou family with a big smile.
“Ah? So it’s Yun Lian’s father! Hello! Hello, it’s been a long time! Stay for dinner tonight! You’ve worked hard all morning. You must be starving!”
After listening to the eldest son of the Zhou family’s explanation, Qian Yun suddenly came to a realization. She hurriedly greeted the Yun couple warmly, looking particularly amiable. However, after shaking hands, she immediately released their hands in disgust, as if she had touched something dirty.
“Then we’ll have to bother you. We plan to stay here for a while and wait until my brother’s daughter’s engagement ceremony is over before we leave.”
Yun Gang expressed his intention to stay here.
Qian Yun’s eyes seemed to be able to spew fire, but her good upbringing allowed her to suppress the harsh words she was about to say. She just stood in place and calmed her emotions.
“Alright, the two of you can sleep in the guest room next to the balcony. There’s everything there. The quilt and pillowcase are all new. I hope you don’t mind.”
Zhou family’s eldest brother’s reputation was maintained very well. The quilt and pillowcase in the guest room had not been changed for a while. However, in the Zhou family’s eldest brother’s opinion, whether or not to change the bedsheets and quilts in the guest room, this country bumpkin couple from the countryside would not be able to tell.
