Chapter 264 Mom, apologize to my wife

Zhang Lao Er tried to persuade Fan Liangyu, but Fan Liangyu snorted coldly, "If you want to stay, you can stay. I'm not staying, but I don't want to give them a free ride either. Let's go back and have dinner. I'll leave after I finish eating. You can stay there and occupy the house."

Zhang Lao Er, "..."

Doesn't that mean he still doesn't have a wife to hug?

Su Hongying agreed to return to her husband's family home, but she made a three-point agreement with Zhang Haijun.

“Brother Navy, if your parents give me a hard time, I’ll just turn around and leave. I’m not stupid anymore. I’ll only be good to those who are good to me, otherwise… not you.”

Zhang Haijun smiled.

He said, "Okay, I'll go talk to them, don't worry."

In his heart, he was complaining about Su Hongying, who would obediently agree to anything she said as soon as she was coaxed, and even said that she wasn't stupid.

He shook his head. The day before picking up Su Hongying, he had already given Old Man Zhang and Zheng Xiulan a heads-up.

“Treat her the way you did when you married her, and continue to treat her the same way afterward. Mom, stop making things difficult for her and bullying her. Hongying’s family is better off than before. Her mother and her third brother both seem to be good at making money. I heard her third brother mention that they rented a storefront and a yard to open a general store. They must have a lot of money to dare to do it!”

Zheng Xiulan was surprised, "I've never heard of her third brother being able to make money before? Isn't he just a street urchin?"

"Things are different now, it won't hurt if you treat her better."

Zhang Haijun instructed, "Besides, her family can afford a nanny. I think that woman surnamed Qiu is really good at taking care of them. She will be taking care of her two nephews and nieces with Sister-in-law Hongying. We can send the children there later, and Hongying and I can go out to earn money. With one more person, we can earn more than a hundred yuan a month. That's a considerable amount over a year."

Making money is a big deal, Old Zhang nodded.

Although Zheng Xiulan was somewhat unwilling, she stopped saying anything when she saw that her husband and son agreed.

Fearing his mother would have a relapse, Zhang Haijun left with the words, "If you try to ruin things by doing the same old trick, then we'll move out as planned. Anyway, we're both earning money, so we won't miss out on that little bit of rent."

Zheng Xiulan, "..."

She felt that her son had been brainwashed by Su Hongying. Look at what she said!

But she didn't want to fall out of touch with her son. The eldest son was the easiest to control among the three sons, and she would have to rely on him to take care of her and support her in her old age. She held back her anger and said okay.

Seeing Zhang Haijun return carrying his eldest grandson, Zheng Xiulan exclaimed "Oh!" and gave him a big smile. She took him, hugged and kissed him, and only glanced at Su Hongying, saying in a buzzing voice, "Honey, you've worked hard."

Su Hongying's eyes reddened, and she looked at Zhang Haijun with a wronged expression.

He said, "Navy Bro, your mom hasn't apologized to me yet."

Zhang Haijun then went to see Zheng Xiulan.

Zheng Xiulan looked unpleasant. When did she say she wanted to apologize to her?

"An elder apologizing to a junior? Can you accept that? Aren't you afraid of shortening your lifespan?" She glared at Su Hongying.

Su Hongying grabbed the hem of Zhang Haijun's cotton-padded coat and silently lowered her head.

Zhang Haijun frowned at Old Man Zhang, who coughed lightly and said, "This is your mother's fault. Have your mother apologize to you, and that will be the end of it."

Su Hongying immediately looked up at Old Man Zhang, her face full of adoration and obedience.

"Yes, yes, I'll do whatever Dad says."

Old Zhang smiled and called out to Zheng Xiulan.

Zheng Xiulan snorted and looked at Su Hongying, "You really have nothing you wouldn't dare to do! You instigated my son to split the family property, and instead of apologizing to me, you want me to apologize to you. You have quite the nerve..."

Old Zheng coughed lightly and gave her a warning look.

Zheng Xiulan said coldly, "Alright, this was my fault. As your mother-in-law, I apologize. I won't push you anymore, okay?"

After saying that, he mumbled something in a voice that everyone could hear.

“I told you I was fine, I’m as strong as an ox.”

Su Hongying glanced at her, a cold glint in her eyes, and said, "My postpartum recovery went well thanks to my family. Did my in-laws even show up or pay the postpartum nanny?"

The money for the postpartum nanny was just a way to get back to Zheng Xiulan.

Zheng Xiulan fell for it as expected, saying, "Didn't my son pay for the postpartum nanny?"

"Yes, it was my man who paid for it. What does it have to do with you?" Su Hongying gave her a provocative look.

Zheng Xiulan's heart skipped a beat when she saw Su Hongying's gaze. For some reason, she wanted to tear Su Hongying's mouth apart. Without thinking, she blurted out, "My son is my child, so his money is my money."

Su Hongying curled her lips slightly.

Zhang Haijun's expression suddenly changed, and he frowned, looking at Zheng Xiulan with anger.

He said, "Mom, that money is what I earned through hard work. How did it become your money?"

When Zheng Xiulan was questioned by her son, she realized that she had spoken her mind and was a little annoyed that Su Hongying had harmed her.

She hurriedly explained, "Mom meant we're a family, and not all family members are..."

"What are they? Yours?" Su Hongying asked.

Zheng Xiulan didn't dare to reply this time, and glared fiercely at Su Hongying.

Su Hongying didn't care and laughed, "Mom, my brother and I want a second child. The baby can't sleep with us, it's inconvenient for us. Aren't the second son and his wife moving out?"

Zheng Xiulan had a feeling that Su Hongying was up to something, so she kept a cold face and didn't respond.

Zhang Haijun was displeased to see his mother giving Su Hongying the cold shoulder. They had agreed on everything yesterday, but she changed her mind overnight. What was she trying to do?

Su Hongying continued, "Perfect, let's turn their house into a nursery so the child can live there when they're older, saving us the trouble of moving around..."

"no!"

Zheng Xiulan realized what was happening and glared at Su Hongying, "The second son and his wife are just having a tiff. They'll move back in. The second son has been corrupted by his wife. After they get divorced, he'll still marry a new wife in that house..."

As soon as she finished speaking, the door suddenly moved, and there was the sound of a key being inserted and turned.

Zhang Haijun was nearby, so he took two steps over and opened the door.

Zhang Lao Er and Fan Liangyu were standing at the door.

Zhang Lao Er's face darkened. He first glanced at Zhang Haijun, addressed him as "Big Brother," and then launched into a tirade against Zheng Xiulan, "Mom, what nonsense are you spouting? When did I ever say I was going to divorce Fan Liangyu? That's baseless! If you're not going to help me, don't drag me down with you..."

Fan Liangyu sneered.

"Zhang Lao Er, did you hear that? Your mother is hoping we get a divorce so she can find you someone else. Why are you still fawning over me like a lapdog? Get out of here!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Zhang Lao Er hugged her waist tightly. "Wife, wife, don't go. My mother didn't mean it. I'll make her apologize to you, okay?"

Fan Liangyu's struggles lessened.

Zhang Lao Er was delighted and turned to call out to Zheng Xiulan.

"Mom, hurry! Apologize to my wife right now!"
