After Liang Qing went downstairs, she had just reached Zhao's mother and father when they greeted her with smiles and said:

“I discussed it with your dad, and this is the money we received as wedding gifts for your wedding. You will be in charge of managing this money.”

Upon hearing this, Liang Qing immediately said, "Auntie, I can't give you this money..."

Before Liang Qing could finish speaking, Zhao's mother chuckled and said, "You're still calling me 'Auntie'? I've already given you the change-of-address fee, so you have to call me 'Mom' now."

Liang Qing blushed slightly.

Her voice was a little softer than before as she said, "Mom, this money is for the Zhao family to do something, and it was you who gave it to them before. How could I possibly take this money?"

Father Zhao said, “Xiao Liang, take this money. We won’t have anything to do with you anymore. We only have two children, Niannian and Xiaoze. Their education, coming of age, and marriage will all be your responsibility.”

“A woman is much better at managing the household than a man. Even if we entrusted this to Qingzhou, he wouldn’t know how to handle it. Your mother and I are at ease leaving it to you.”

After Mr. Zhao finished speaking, Mrs. Zhao placed the money directly into Liang Qing's hand.

“Good child. Listen to your mother, Qingyu is gone, and we don’t have much to take care of anymore. It’s really unfair to you to marry Qingzhou.”

Zhao's mother always believed that Liang Qing was able to marry Zhao Qingzhou entirely because of her persuasion.

Therefore, in my heart, I always felt that I owed Liang Qing a little something.

After giving the money to Liang Qing, Zhao's mother said that she was thinking of cleaning up the storage room on the first floor for Xiao Ze to live in, while Niannian would continue to live on the second floor.

However, Zhao's mother still asked Liang Qing if she felt comfortable letting Niannian stay at home...

Liang Qing was puzzled as to why Zhao's mother asked such a question, but she still answered truthfully, naturally trusting Zhao's mother to take care of Niannian.

Zhao's mother added that she was worried they wouldn't be used to living here, and also worried that there wouldn't be enough rooms for all the children, so she was thinking of having Liang Qing and Zhao Qingzhou stay in the apartment allocated by Zhao Qingzhou's workplace.

Liang Qing blushed slightly; she naturally knew what Zhao's mother meant by those words.

She and Zhao Qingzhou were remarried. Although they each had a child from their previous marriages, they were allowed to have a child of their own after their remarriage.

What Zhao's mother was saying was that she was afraid they would have another child in the future.

Liang Qing felt that Zhao Qingzhou might not want children, so she didn't care.

She has a daughter, Xiaoze. Although Xiaoze is not her biological daughter, Xiaoze treats her very well, and she likes Xiaoze very much.

Xiaoze's mother has passed away. As long as she treats Xiaoze well, Xiaoze will definitely be filial to her when he grows up.

Even if we take a step back and assume that Xiaoze is unfilial to her when he grows up, doesn't she still have her own daughter?

Regarding children, Liang Qing has no worries and doesn't necessarily want to have more.

Dinner was cooked by Zhao's mother; it was light and simple. After dinner, Zhao's mother called Xiaoze and said that his grandfather was not feeling well that night and needed a little man to take care of him.

Xiao Ze had no doubts. As one of only two men in the Zhao family, he had to shoulder the responsibility of taking care of his grandfather.

Mr. Zhao was full of energy while eating, but after hearing what his wife said, he immediately became uncomfortable and even pretended to cough a few times.

Liang Qing almost believed Zhao's father's clumsy acting.

Niannian woke up very early today because Liang Qing had to get up to put on her bridal makeup. The house was a bit noisy, so Niannian woke up without sleeping well and didn't take a nap.

Around eight o'clock after dinner, she started yawning incessantly.

Liang Qing took her daughter back to the house and put her to bed.

She was too embarrassed to say it, but she still said that she might have to sleep alone tonight.

Niannian said very innocently, "Mom, I know. Grandma told me that Mom and Uncle got married. I can call Uncle Dad now. Dad and Mom are husband and wife. Husband and wife means that we will sleep in the same room from now on. You have to take care of each other."

"Grandma said that I'm a big girl now and I need my own independent space."

Liang Qing really didn't expect that Zhao's mother had already spoken to Niannian privately, and that Niannian seemed to have accepted it quite quickly.

She was thinking that if she told Niannian this, and Niannian couldn't bear to part with her mother and clung to her, it would be even better if Niannian started making a fuss, then she wouldn't have to share a room with Zhao Qingzhou at all.

Especially at night.

A single man and a single woman, both married, sleeping in the same room at night...

She knew perfectly well that something was going to happen tonight.

But Liang Qing had absolutely no idea what exactly was going to happen.

When she was with Zhao Qingyu, she was oblivious and it was just a subtle experience.

So much time has passed, Liang Qing has long forgotten that feeling, but she will always remember Qing Yu's kindness and help to her.

Liang Qing didn't say anything more, but Niannian, who had said a few words to her mother, fell asleep quickly after lying down.

Niannian, who was always in darkness, could not feel the light, so for her, light did not exist at all.

Seeing her daughter asleep with her eyes closed, Liang Qing was about to get up and turn off the light.

I heard a soft knocking at the door.

She hesitated for a moment, then realized that the person who would come looking for her at this time was definitely Zhao Qingzhou.

She hadn't even asked anything when she reached the door.

Zhao Qingzhou said directly, "Is Niannian asleep? I have something to tell you, come to the new house for a moment."

Liang Qing nodded, "Niannian just fell asleep."

After Liang Qing came out, Zhao Qingzhou's eyes fell on her. When she got married, she wore a white wedding dress, then changed into a red cheongsam, and after returning home, she changed into a pink dress.

Wearing pink makes a person look even more youthful.

He really liked it.

When the heart is moved, the body will naturally follow.

He blurted out without thinking, "We're married, so we have to be together tonight."

It would have been better if he hadn't said it; as soon as he did, Liang Qing immediately became very uncomfortable, and she didn't know what to say.

Zhao Qingzhou pushed open the door to the new house first, gesturing for Liang Qing to go in first...

Liang Qing had mentally prepared herself; it was just sleeping, what was there to be afraid of?

After she entered the room, Zhao Qingzhou was quite polite, picking up the bankbook he had prepared earlier from the table and handing it to Liang Qing.

"I've heard that after marriage, men usually hand over the family finances to their wives."

“We’re married now. Even if we don’t have the same fiery passion as young gay men, I will still give you all the rights that are rightfully yours.”

"I'll keep the passbook for you from now on."

Liang Qing held the passbook, not really bothering to open it; she just felt it was burning hot.

"This...this savings book, shouldn't you be saving it for Xiaoze's future education and marriage?"

Zhao Qingzhou said, "I will definitely give him money when he gets married. But right now, I feel that I should take care of you first."

Upon hearing this, Liang Qing looked up at Zhao Qingzhou.
