Chapter 103 Blood Ties "Sisters, even if we break bones, we are still connected by tendons. Don't...

Li Fengju put the dishes on the table and turned to call Wang Hui: "Huihui, you and Mom should go out for a while."

Wang Hui thought her mother wanted her to accompany her to the toilet, and she was reluctant, but when she saw Li Fengju staring at her with a look that did not allow her to refuse, she had to stand up.

After the mother and daughter left the Zhao family's courtyard, Li Fengju said, "I didn't warn you enough, and you just sat on the sofa. Didn't you see that your eldest sister's second aunt is also pregnant?"

"Ah?" Wang Hui didn't understand what her mother meant for a moment.

Li Fengju lowered her voice: "Didn't your mother-in-law tell you? Two pregnant women can't sit on the same stool. It will cause the tire to change."

"Mom! What kind of superstitious idea is this? The baby is in my belly, how can I change it?" Wang Hui felt speechless and thought her mother was talking nonsense.

Li Fengju glared at her. "Of course not! There was a young woman over there. The doctor said she was pregnant with a boy, but she gave birth to a girl. Another young woman was exactly the opposite. They both sat on the same bench!"

"Is this true..." Wang Hui was a little shaken by Li Fengju's assurance. However, she had a past life after all, and knew that ultrasounds were sometimes inaccurate, so she still didn't quite believe it. She said, "It's just a coincidence. The doctor might have made a mistake."

"Anyway, don't sit on the same bench with your eldest sister's second aunt!" Li Fengju said. "You were just sitting with Jianguo, why are you sitting on the sofa again?"

Wang Hui said, "It's nothing, I just feel comfortable sitting on the sofa." In fact, she caught Du Jianguo peeking at her elder sister, and she felt unhappy, so she deliberately sat next to her elder sister to see if he would still peek at her!

Li Fengju sighed: "Look at how well your eldest sister and the two sisters-in-law get along."

"It's fine, so it's fine. Life is lived behind closed doors, and who knows what's going on behind closed doors." Wang Hui said this, but she felt very sad in her heart.

Li Fengju didn't want to hurt Wang Hui's feelings, so she said, "Your mother-in-law is a good person, Jianguo is honest, and now they have a child, so their future will be good."

Wang Hui loved hearing this. Du Jianguo would have a great future, and with her reborn, how could his future be bad? The eldest sister was just putting on a good front. Wait until that young widow comes to make trouble, and see if she can still smile! Maybe she has already made trouble. The eldest sister must be pretending. She has lived in the Zhao family before, so how could it be any better? Wang Hui thought darkly.

The mother and daughter went to the public toilet in the alley. When they returned to Zhao's house, the round table was already full of dishes, waiting for them to start eating.

A large round table can just accommodate two families.

After everyone started eating, Zhao Yunfang said, "It's so hot today. Yunsheng, go get the electric fan. Your second sister is sweltering."

Zhao Yunfei said, "I think you just want to show off the electric fan you gave Yingzi and the others!"

"Aren't you hot? Come on, Yunsheng, go get it and blow it on you." Zhao Yunfang urged.

"We need to connect the electricity, and it will take a while." Chen Xiuqin said, "Let's eat first, and then ask Yunsheng to do it."

Zhao Yunfang was genuinely hot; pregnant women are more susceptible to heat than the average person. Of course, she also wanted to show off her gift. She thought the birthday gift from Wang Ying's parents was rather meager.

Wang Hui was pissed. In her previous life, on her birthday, Zhao Yunfang hadn't given her an electric fan! That wasn't right. Zhao Yunfang wasn't pregnant at this time in her previous life! How could she be pregnant so early in this life? Wang Hui couldn't help but glance at her eldest sister. It couldn't be that just because her eldest sister married into the Zhao family, the Zhao family's good fortune had begun...

"Your younger sister is peeking at you." Zhao Yunsheng leaned close to Wang Ying's ear and said.

Wang Ying nudged Zhao Yunsheng's leg with her leg and whispered, "Eat, don't get so close." Wang Ying didn't care why Wang Hui was peeking at him, he just focused on eating.

Zhao Yunsheng actually wanted to keep an eye on Du Jianguo, but Du Jianguo was so engrossed in his meal that Wang Hui, on the other hand, glanced at Wang Ying a few times with a slightly odd expression. Zhao Yunsheng didn't think much of it, as his father-in-law and mother-in-law were partial to each other, and Wang Ying and her sister didn't get along well, but he still kept an eye on Wang Hui and her husband.

The meal was quite amicable. Before arriving, Wang Yongren had been repeatedly warned by Chen Xiuqin to drink less and talk less. Once he was quiet, no one at the table dared to be disloyal.

After dinner, Dongbao was clamoring to sleep, so Zhao Yunfei carried Dongbao back to her room, followed by Dongbao's father. Zhao Yunfei put Dongbao on the bed and let her father coax him to sleep, then she came out to clean the table with Chen Xiuqin.

Zhao Yunfang ate too much and asked Dong Zhiyuan to accompany her for a walk.

Li Fengju finally had a chance to talk to Wang Ying. She took Wang Ying's hand and sat on the sofa. After Wang Ying sat down, he immediately withdrew his hand.

"You've been busy lately, haven't you? You've released two new products." Li Fengju tried to find a topic to chat with Wang Ying.

"It's okay, but there are a lot of trivial things." Wang Ying said indifferently.

"When I'm not busy, I'll go home and stay for a few days," said Li Fengju.

"Well, I'll go when I'm free." Wang Ying said, but she knew that she would never be free. She would just go back once during the three festivals and two birthdays to save face.

Seeing her daughter's indifferent and distant attitude, Li Fengju didn't know what to say for a moment, so she complimented her skirt again: "This skirt is quite beautiful. Did you buy it from a department store?"

"I made it myself," said Wang Ying.

"Well, you've always been quite deft with your hands." Li Fengju felt a little awkward. They were both biological daughters. She had endless things to say to Huihui, but she couldn't find the words to say to Yingzi. She felt bad, wanting to be close to Wang Ying and make up for her past partiality. But she couldn't help but feel resentful towards her, thinking she was ungrateful and unfaithful to the good marriage her family had found for her. She was unfilial and cold-hearted.

Li Fengju was torn between these two emotions and spoke to Wang Ying in a disjointed manner.

Wang Ying saw through her mother's thoughts, but since the family was holding a banquet for her, she didn't want to make a scene and make things difficult for her parents-in-law, so she didn't expose her mother and just responded to her in a disjointed manner.

"Do your elder sister-in-law and her family live here?" Li Fengju asked Wang Ying in a low voice when she saw Dongbao's father coming out of the room.

"Sometimes." Wang Ying said.

"Why are you living at your mother's house when everything is fine?" Li Fengju asked.

"Doesn't Wang Hui also live with her parents?" Wang Ying felt that Li Fengju was just making small talk.

"How is that the same? You don't have any brothers," said Li Fengju.

Wang Ying looked at Li Fengju and said calmly, "Oh, I see. If we have a brother, we can't go back to live with our parents."

"Tsk, that's not what I meant. I'm doing this for your own good!" said Li Fengju.

Wang Ying knew what Li Fengju meant by "for her own good." It simply meant that Zhao Yunfei was a married woman, not a member of the Zhao family, and shouldn't live here. If she lived here, she'd be taking advantage of her. Li Fengju was so narrow-minded, so if she had a brother, he would never let her go home and live there.

Wang Ying remained silent, fearing that her words might be offensive and start a quarrel with Li Fengju. After all, it was her birthday, and everyone in the family was celebrating, so she didn't want to spoil the fun.

Li Fengju added, "Don't be confused about inside and outside. I am on your side."

Wang Ying said, "That person's mother also supports her daughter."

Li Fengju fell silent, feeling more and more that Wang Ying didn't understand her parents' painstaking efforts. Zhao Yunsheng, who had been chatting with Director Zhao and Wang Yongren, caught a glimpse of Wang Ying's indifferent expression and smiled as he walked over to sit beside her.

Li Fengju was very happy to see her son-in-law coming. She asked him about his well-being and was more familiar with him than with Wang Ying.

Zhao Yunfang and her husband returned from a walk and sat for a short while before Dong Zhiyuan said he had something else to do in the afternoon and they had to go back. Wang Hui couldn't wait any longer and followed suit.

Li Fengju looked at her two daughters. They had been here for such a long time, but the two sisters had not said a word to each other privately. Li Fengju said, "Huihui, let's wait a moment. Mom and your eldest sister need to talk for a while."

"What are you talking about?" Wang Hui said impatiently, "I want to go back and rest."

Du Jianguo said: "It's sunny outside now, just wait."

Wang Hui gave Du Jianguo a glare, thinking he didn't want to leave, but wanted to stay and have a chance to get closer to Wang Ying. The sound of "Yingzi" that she had heard last night still lingered in Wang Hui's ears.

Chen Xiuqin went back to her room to pack the things she was going to take back to Zhao Yunfang. Zhao Yunfang said in her room again, "Mom, this little dress of yours is really worse than what Yingzi made."

Chen Xiuqin glared at her fiercely, signaling with her eyes that there were other people outside and she should stop talking nonsense. Zhao Yunfang pouted, but she didn't care!

Sure enough, Wang Hui heard it and said to Wang Ying, "Sister, whatever clothes you made for your second aunt's baby, make two sets for my baby too!"

Wang Ying said, "You've worked in a garment factory, and your sister-in-law also works in a garment factory. You want me to do it? How can I compare to your craftsmanship?"

Wang Huixin thought that getting Du Wenxiu to make clothes for her child was harder than climbing to heaven. She could certainly make them herself, but why did her elder sister make clothes for Zhao Yunfang's child and not for her own?

Li Fengju and Wang Yongren, who were standing by, heard what Wang Hui said and also felt that Wang Ying was wrong. Li Fengju said, "Yingzi, just make two for your sister's baby. You are very skillful and can make beautiful ones."

Chen Xiuqin and Zhao Yunfang in the room heard the conversation in the main hall. Chen Xiuqin glared at Zhao Yunfang again, blaming her for talking too much.

Zhao Yunfang returned to the main hall with her big belly and said half-jokingly, "Yingzi is a busy woman in the factory now. I had a hard time exchanging the electric fan with Yingzi. You are family, sisters, so please don't make things difficult for her. There are two garment factories in the family, so why should Yingzi be burdened with it?"

When Zhao Yunfang said this, Wang Hui felt like she was being slapped in the face. She was complaining that the gift they gave Wang Ying was too little! Their gift was just that of a normal family in Beichong. They were not as well-off as theirs, who could even afford an electric fan!

Wang Hui's face turned cold. She was about to say something when Du Jianguo interrupted her: "We were just joking. I know my elder sister is busy. I'll just let her do it later."

But Du Jianguo couldn't stop Wang Hui at all. Wang Hui still said angrily, "If you don't want to do it, forget it! Mom and Dad, let's go home!" Wang Hui ran out angrily. She ran so fast that Li Fengju was scared. She stood up and chased after her, "Huihui, how can you run away! Don't run away, Mom will go back with you. Lao Wang, Jianguo, let's go home!"

Wang Yongren stood up, glanced at Wang Ying who was sitting still, and walked out of the main gate of the Zhao family without saying a word.

Zhao Yunsheng sent his father-in-law out, and Chen Xiuqin hurriedly took out the return gifts and asked Zhao Yunsheng to give them to them.

Chen Xiuqin winked at Wang Ying, asking her to get up and see her parents out. Wang Ying, giving face to her mother-in-law, went to the courtyard to see the Wang family off.

Wang Yongren saw Wang Ying finally come out and said in a muffled voice, "Sister, even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. Don't make it too ugly."

"We know." Zhao Yunsheng said.

"Let's go quickly." Wang Hui urged again, and Du Jianguo and Wang Hui left first.

Li Fengju gave Du Jianguo a few words of advice, then turned to Wang Ying and said, "Yingzi, Huihui's birthday is next month, don't forget it. If you have time, make a couple of small clothes for Huihui's child. It's also a token of my appreciation as an aunt."

"I understand." Wang Ying said.

Wang Yongren and Li Fengju looked at Wang Ying, said hello to the Zhao family, and left.

Zhao Yunfang and her husband, who were supposed to leave first, didn't make it. Seeing that Chen Xiuqin was about to get angry with her, Zhao Yunfang picked up her luggage and pushed Dong Zhiyuan away!

But Chen Xiuqin still chased her into the yard and scolded Zhao Yunfang.

After Zhao Yunfang left, Chen Xiuqin took Wang Ying to her room to talk.

"Yingzi, do you know? Every time you see your family, you seem like a different person," said Chen Xiuqin.

Wang Ying remained silent.

Chen Xiuqin sighed: "Your parents are partial, we can see it. But after all, they are your parents and your biological sister, and the blood relationship cannot be severed."

Wang Ying didn't think so. Any relationship in this world could be severed. She had done it once in her previous life.
