Waking up in the morning, Zhang Guoqing looked at his wife sleeping sweetly in his arms and grinned silently. This little girl has also started to learn to hit herself. Does it mean that she loves herself more?

"The highest is the sun and the moon, the closest is the distant is husband and wife."

This statement was suitable for others, but he never thought it was true for him and his wife. In this world, even a son who was related by blood could not compare to a daughter-in-law.

He subconsciously didn't answer Zhou Jiao's question last night. What a lousy woman who'd risk her life for him. He wasn't forcing her, so why should he care about her life or death?

You know your own wife best. Even if she is defensive and cold-hearted towards outsiders, she has a positive outlook and a righteous heart, unlike you, it's all an illusion.

Just like the incident with Boss Zhang this time, even though she disliked Huang Cuilan very much, she still condemned it as immoral in her heart.

And what about me? What I lack is righteousness!

Zhang Guoqing smiled sarcastically. He had understood since he was five years old in his previous life that nothing in the world can be obtained without hard work. In this world, he had to fight for what he wanted.

If it doesn't involve your own interests, everything is fine. If you lose money, you can make it back. If you suffer a little loss, it's no big deal. Isn't it said that suffering a loss is a blessing?

But if anyone endangers his wife, even if the favor is greater than the sky, it is all in vain.

"Hubby, go to sleep."

Zhang Guoqing loosened his arms and patted her gently, "Okay. Be good, go back to sleep."

When Mr. Zhang and his wife arrived at the provincial capital station with a group of grandchildren, Zhang Guoqing and his family of three had been waiting at the exit for a long time.

"grandfather……"

Zhang Guoqing held Ping An's hand and smiled at Zhou Jiao, "See, I even guessed the time almost right."

Zhou Jiao smiled and nodded. Just as she was about to speak, she unexpectedly discovered that Huang Cuilan and Lin Juhua had also come along. It seemed that her mother-in-law had invested heavily this time.

This silly girl still hasn't realized that it's not her mother-in-law who's bleeding money, but herself, okay? Forget about the fact that a room in the guesthouse costs one yuan and twenty cents a night, how many food coupons are needed for three meals a day?

There's a saying that goes, "Wealth brings wealth." When her money became too much for her, her focus shifted away from it. Her only concern was making her amiable and respectable parents-in-law happy.

"Mom, sister-in-law, I'm here."

Zhang's mother looked up and saw her daughter-in-law beaming with joy. She couldn't help but laugh along with her. The pain she had just felt over the cost of the car fare disappeared.

"Why run to the station to pick him up? What if we hadn't come? You're such a fool!"

Zhou Jiao chuckled and stepped forward to take the luggage she was carrying. "Mom, the guesthouse is not far from here. Let's go put the luggage there first, okay?"

"Is it the guesthouse from last time?"

Zhou Jiao pretended not to notice her mother-in-law's distressed look and immediately shifted the blame to someone else. "Yes, I've already booked a room for you, and I'm waiting for you to arrange it."

What else could Zhang's mother say? Her son was a well-known figure, and there were so many people coming and going here, she couldn't let him embarrass himself. She nodded, "Then let's walk over there, it's very close."

It's really close; it takes over half an hour to walk there! The problem is, her mother-in-law said she shouldn't even take the bus. Oh well... let's just go, just treat it as a workout and go shopping in advance.

"Jiaojiao, tell me where these places are? Otherwise, if your second sister-in-law gets lost, people will laugh at you."

Zhou Jiao smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law, you won't get lost. If you get lost, just ask anyone how to get to the Bayi Guesthouse. They'll definitely know."

Lin Juhua nodded seriously, "Bayi, I can remember this."

"Second sister-in-law, what did you and eldest sister-in-law bring? Why are the packages so big?"

"Aren't your godmother, Aunt Zhao, and the others in the provincial capital? Since it's a rare visit for us, we packed up some dry goods and will have Xiaowu deliver them after we leave."

Zhou Jiao smiled when she heard this and said, "How about we go to the military area first? She will definitely be happy to see you."

Lin Juhua shook her head. "Don't bother them right now. It's not good to make a commotion with so many of us. Say hello to them after we leave."

Mother Zhang nodded in agreement. The Zhao brothers were honest people. If their entire family went there, they would have to give Huo Huoguang a month's supply of food.

"Mom, if we go that way, we're going to the kid's dad's school, right?"

Zhang's mother came countless times and nodded.

Seeing that she was worried about going to school, Zhou Jiao smiled and advised: "Let's go to the guesthouse to rest first, and contact big brother later."

Lin Juhua continued, "Yes, wash your face and change your clothes first. Mom and Dad also need to rest first."

The four of them, mother-in-law and daughters-in-law, walked behind Zhang's father and his men. Along the way, Zhang's mother whispered to her three daughters-in-law, focusing on the two daughters-in-law, about which parts of the city people were more particular about.

Zhou Jiao nodded from time to time as she listened. Her mother-in-law was indeed a sensible person, and this was simply teaching the daughters-in-law in the village the principles of conduct.

"... Pay attention to these details. We're not any worse than them. Just stand up straight and be brave. It'll be just like that after you see it more often."

Lin Juhua nodded, "Mom, I remember."

Huang Cuilan also nodded repeatedly.

"Actually, most city dwellers are poor. The houses they live in are so small they can't even turn around, and they're just good-looking..."

Zhou Jiao laughed heartily as she watched her mother-in-law lower her voice and begin to ramble on about the suffering of the city dwellers. Her mother-in-law was quite resourceful, praising and then criticizing her.

Arriving at the guesthouse, Zhang's mother insisted and finally changed their plans and booked four rooms. Zhang Guoqing thought it would be less crowded if the boys were separated into two rooms, so he agreed to her wishes.

After the noisy washing up and having lunch at the restaurant, Mr. and Mrs. Zhang discussed it and decided to split into three groups.

Father Zhang was unwilling to go crazy with these silly boys, so he took his close friend Xiao Ping'an and went to the theater not far away.

Zhang's mother took her three daughters-in-law to show off at her eldest son's school. Zhang Guoqing took the rest of the group of young boys and girls to the department store to buy gifts.

"Uncle, let's just look at it, don't buy anything. Otherwise, I won't go."

"Yes, uncle, we have everything we need, there's no need to waste it."

Zhang Guoqing smiled and nodded. "Okay, let's go take a look first. There are too many things for me to buy. After shopping in the mall, let's go to Xiaowen's school first."

"School hasn't started yet, will there be no one here?"

"There should be students doing summer internships at the college. Besides, you're supposed to report next week, so there shouldn't be anyone there. Let's go check it out first."

Zhang Guoqing calculated the time for his return to Beijing and planned to ask the school today if he could register early. He would take advantage of the time he was at home to settle his nephew for his eldest sister.

In the department store, Zhang Guoqing picked out a pile of pencils and school supplies, then some hair ties for the little girls, and finally spent a lot of money to buy three pink smocks for the three girls.

He had figured it out. If he gave the child more cloth, his eldest niece would probably have to sew old clothes for three years. This child was well-behaved and smart, but she was born in an old family and suffered.
