"You heard it, right? Even Meimei couldn't stand it anymore. Tell me, your mother is going too far!"
Ruan Xiaotang spoke angrily while sitting on the edge of the bed, folding the dried clothes with her hands quickly.
At this time, Zhou Xingze was sitting leisurely on the chair, with his trouser legs rolled up high, revealing his strong calves, and was soaking his feet comfortably in the steaming and smoky foot basin.
I saw him holding a thick book steadily in his hands, his eyes fixed on the pages, reading the words carefully line by line, as if he was completely immersed in the world of the book.
After hearing Ruan Xiaotang's complaint, Zhou Xingze slowly moved his gaze away from the book and slowly turned to Ruan Xiaotang who was sitting beside the bed.
He stared at her deeply, his eyes revealing a complex emotion. However, after just one glance, he lowered his head to read again, and said indifferently: "Just don't worry about this matter."
His cold attitude and perfunctory words instantly ignited Ruan Xiaotang's anger. She widened her eyes and looked at Zhou Xingze in disbelief.
His chest heaved violently with anger.
She was already dissatisfied with her mother-in-law, and now she was even more infuriated by Zhou Xingze's attitude of staying out of the matter.
He pulled up Zhou Xingze’s black woolen trousers and yanked them hard onto the bed.
"I am pregnant, not mute. Why can't I take care of my sister-in-law's affairs? Don't forget who contributed to your getting the marriage certificate with me so smoothly. As a person, you must not forget your roots!"
"Look, why are you being so serious again? I just said that you can't deal with this matter in person, but that doesn't mean I will sit idly by. You are pregnant now, don't take other people's affairs too seriously. There is no conclusion yet, and the result is unknown. But you are worried all day long, as if you are facing a great enemy. This is not good. It is not good for you and our child."
At this moment, Ruan Xiaotang was about to get furious at him, but after hearing his well-organized exhortation, the little bit of anger that had been burning in her heart was instantly extinguished as if by a basin of cold water, and was suppressed again.
She looked carefully at the man in front of her and found that he did not look like he was just being perfunctory.
However, once a woman becomes pregnant, she will inevitably become more sensitive and suspicious.
So, Ruan Xiaotang deliberately pushed up her visibly bulging belly.
Then she walked straight to Zhou Xingze, gently stroked her belly with her slightly fat hands, put on an extremely arrogant look, raised her chin high, and said to Zhou Xingze: "Humph, you said this yourself, the little one in my belly has pricked up its ears and heard it clearly, you must not go back on your words! Otherwise, you will be in trouble!"
After saying that, she glanced at Zhou Xingze out of the corner of her eye, as if to warn him not to play any tricks.
Zhou Xingze gently placed the book in his hand, which had been read many times and looked a little worn, on the wooden table beside him.
Then, he picked up the old but clean foot cloth beside him, slowly lifted one foot, and carefully began to wipe along the heel, from the sole to the toes, making sure every inch of skin was wiped dry.
After finishing this foot, he methodically moved on to wiping the other foot in the same manner.
After drying his feet, Zhou Xingze quickly put on his thick cotton shoes, held the foot basin filled with water steadily in both hands, and walked carefully towards the door.
As soon as he opened the door, a biting cold wind blew in his face, making him shiver: "It's really cold outside!"
Zhou Xingze subconsciously tightened his neck and rubbed his hands together, trying to get some warmth.
Despite the cold weather, he trotted into the house laughing.
At this time, Ruan Xiaotang, who was inside the house, saw Zhou Xingze coming back, and immediately went up to him, asking relentlessly: "Hey, why didn't you answer my question just now?"
Zhou Xingze did not respond to her immediately. Instead, he walked straight to the stove, squatted down, stretched out his hands close to the stove, and felt the faint but very precious warmth.
After a while, he turned his head and his eyes fell on Ruan Xiaotang's face, which looked particularly cute because of her anxiety.
She looked very serious, like a child waiting for a promise from an adult. This expression made Zhou Xingze burst into laughter.
After finally stopping his laughter, Zhou Xingze still had a smile on his face, and said to Ruan Xiaotang gently: "Don't worry, little fool, you can just watch from the sidelines. I, your man, will never stand idly by."
Hearing this, Ruan Xiaotang's originally tense face instantly relaxed and revealed a satisfied smile: "That's good!"
"If my sister-in-law had a man who cared about her and loved her, her life would be full of hope. It's not like now, I'm all alone, without anyone to talk to. How lonely it is!"
It is very likely that women during pregnancy are more fragile, sensitive and fragile.
I can't bear to see my sister-in-law, who is also a woman, suffer such humiliation.
When she sees injustice, she will lend a helping hand.
Women shouldn't embarrass women.
Women should stick together.
As I thought about it, tears began to flow from the corners of my eyes without any warning.
"Hey, don't cry! I didn't say I don't care. The matter hasn't been made clear yet, there's still room for maneuver."
"You men are always lying. Now that I'm pregnant, I'm easy to bully. Even if you bully me, I can't do anything to you, so you start to use words to get rid of me, wuwuwu..."
Zhou Xingze is truly the most wronged person in the universe.
He was so anxious that he kept stamping his feet.
Ruan Xiaotang was so angry that she pulled her hair out.
Where did you learn these fallacies?
How could she have put all these crazy-making nonsense into her head?
"Don't cry. You are already pregnant. You should not have too many emotional ups and downs. It's not good for the baby in your belly."
Ruan Xiaotang opened her red eyes and said with tears streaming down her face, "All day long it's just the child, the child, the child. Now you don't care about whether I'm good or bad. In your eyes, there's only your child, wuwuwu..."
"I've said so much, and every word I said was out of concern for you, and every word I said was centered on you. You're really wronging me!"
"You're starting to dislike me, aren't you?"
