Actually, it wasn't so much that Ning Xia couldn't sit still.

Instead, Zhao Xueqin couldn't sit still. Her married sister-in-law was staying at her parents' house for more than half a month. Did she not need to eat or drink?

Not to mention, Ningxia is heavily pregnant right now!

Ning An and Ning Fei, the two older brothers, would always put the slightly better dishes on the table into Ning Xia's bowl during meals.

This made her feel increasingly uncomfortable.

His words revealed growing impatience and disdain.

After Ningxia was disliked by Zhao Xueqin, Ningxia's mother would act as a peacemaker, giving both sides a fair scolding and then secretly wiping away tears, saying that Ningxia had been wronged!

Seeing her mother's state, Ningxia could only suppress her resentment in order to avoid causing a rift between her mother and second sister-in-law. Even if there were any gossips, she could only pretend not to hear them and let them pass by like the wind in her ear!

Days passed, and Ningxia waited anxiously, but Zhang Zhonghua never showed up.

After enduring the agonizing wait until the twentieth day, Ningxia, without needing her mother's persuasion, braced herself with her pregnant belly and supported her back, and hurried home.

Ningxia arrived at her doorstep, panting, and cautiously peered into the yard, but there was none of the scene she had imagined—the children crying and fussing because they missed her when she wasn't home.

Instead, it was quiet, as if no one was there.

"Hey, Zhonghua, where have you been these past few days? Why are you still looking around outside the yard after you got home, instead of going in?"

Seeing someone peeking into the Zhang family's yard, the neighbor dutifully ran out to check, only to find out it was the Zhang family's daughter-in-law. He couldn't help but curl his lip and say something sarcastic.

She had heard that Zhang Zhonghua's daughter-in-law's family had caused him to lose his good job and be reassigned to guard a warehouse.

Marrying such a troublemaker is truly the worst thing that could happen to the Zhang family!

Ningxia never expected that the gossipy old woman next door would see it!

She immediately stood up straight, held her waist, and said casually, "I'm pregnant, and my mother feels sorry for me and wants me to stay at my parents' house for a few more days."

However, I was worried about my two children at home, so I came back early. If it weren't for the children not being able to sleep, my mother would have asked me to stay a few more days!

After saying that, he glared at Granny Wang, cleared his throat, and then pushed open the courtyard gate and went inside.

Granny Wang originally wanted to go in and see how the Zhang family elders would react after Ningxia returned.

Unexpectedly, Ning Xia, who was heavily pregnant, entered the courtyard and immediately closed the gate behind her.

Wang Po's nose was almost knocked off, which made her so angry that she stomped her foot and spat at the corner of the door before turning around and going home in a huff.

After closing the door, Ningxia looked around and then frowned. Was no one home?

Hearing the sound of the courtyard gate closing, Zhang's mother, who had just put the children to sleep, hurriedly ran out of the room.

At a glance, you can see the daughter-in-law standing in the middle of the yard, supporting her lower back and showing her pregnant belly.

The curious look that had been about to appear on Zhang's mother's face vanished instantly.

Looking at Ning Xia, she said calmly, "You're back! Now that you're back, you should live a good life with your man. Otherwise, go back to where you came from!"

Hearing Zhang's mother's words, Ningxia was so angry she almost fell over backwards; her nose was practically crooked with rage.

"What do you mean? Where's Zhang Zhonghua? Why didn't he come to my parents' house to pick me up?"
