Chapter 116: Do you think our Shen family still needs your food?
Shen Chengyuan was smoking at the door. When he saw her come out, he glanced around the room with sharp eyes, without showing any emotion on his face.
"You didn't have breakfast?"
Lin Mengyao swallowed her saliva and clenched the corners of her clothes with both hands. "No... I'm not very hungry... I thought I could eat at noon and save a meal..."
She lowered her head and spoke in a very low voice, not even having the courage to look Shen Chengyuan in the eye.
You really can't blame her, Shen Chengyuan is usually serious, whether he is outside or at home, and he always exudes an innate sense of majesty and oppression.
Shen Chengyuan said in a serious tone, "Do you think our Shen family still needs your food?"
Lin Mengyao shook her head and explained, "That's not what I meant. I just felt that it was too cold and I wanted to sleep a little longer, so I didn't have time to eat..."
She naturally knew that the Shen family would not let her go hungry, otherwise she would not have gone to so much trouble to marry into their family.
To be honest, the food at the Shen family is better than the one she had at the Lin family.
Even though they had to go to the commune to eat the big pot meal most of the time, as long as Shen Nanfeng wanted to cook a small meal, Qiu Lian would cook meat at home without saying a word.
In this day and age, there are very few families that can eat meat so unscrupulously.
Seeing how nervous she was, Shen Chengyuan seemed to think that he had just spoken too harshly and scared her, so he cleared his throat, “It’s not too late to sleep after you’ve eaten. Even if you’re not hungry, the baby in your belly has to eat, right?”
Lin Mengyao heaved a sigh of relief, because she felt sorry for his unborn grandson. If it were any other time, even if she worked herself to death or froze to death, Shen Chengyuan would not feel sorry for her.
She finally saw clearly that the baby in her belly was the Shen family's treasure.
But she is the mother of her precious son. With her son as her mother, she will be able to get ahead sooner or later. After a hundred years, when Shen Chengyuan and the others are gone, won’t she still be the one who calls the shots in this family?
"I know I was wrong, father-in-law, I will never do this again next time."
Seeing that she admitted her mistake with a good attitude, Shen Chengyuan did not scold her anymore and gave her a look.
The two of them entered the kitchen together. There was still steam coming out of the pot. Inside was the meat buns and porridge that he had asked Qiu Lian to save for Lin Mengyao in the morning.
Although Qiu Lian was unwilling in her heart, she also didn't want to make her old man angry, so she had to do as she was told.
Shen Chengyuan ordered: "There is breakfast in the pot, eat it while it's hot."
Lin Mengyao murmured "oh" softly, leaned over to lift the lid of the pot, and the aroma of meat made her feel really hungry.
She rubbed her hands and carefully brought out the buns and porridge.
There was a small fire burning in the corner of the stove. Shen Chengyuan squatted down to add firewood and blew a few times to make the flames bigger. Lin Mengyao sat down. It was the first time she was "served" by her father-in-law, which made her feel a little proud.
Shen Chengyuan sat next to her and watched her eat for a long time before he spoke: "Xiaojuan will come to our house tonight, and she will live at home from now on."
Lin Mengyao paused for a moment and looked up in astonishment, very confused and unable to accept, "Why?"
She really didn't understand what this operation was.
I'm already pregnant with the Shen family's child, so why would I adopt someone else's child? Are you crazy?
"When the baby in your belly is born, Xiaojuan, as a big sister, can keep him company."
Shen Chengyuan's tone was not that he was discussing with her, but more like he was informing her directly.
Lin Mengyao suddenly felt that the meat buns were no longer fragrant. She put the bowl on the stove, took a deep breath, and forced herself to calm down. "Just to keep my child company, I have to give him an adopted sister? There is no need for that. If it doesn't work, I can always have another child!"
"It's fine if you want to have a third child, but it will be more lively at home with more children."
Shen Chengyuan's words were flawless, and he didn't give Lin Mengyao a chance to refute.
Lin Mengyao was furious. With another child, wouldn't the Shen family's property have to be divided among some individuals in the future?
That won’t work!
She tightened her hands on both sides of her thighs little by little, "Brother Nanfeng also agreed to this?"
Shen Chengyuan’s tone was indifferent, as if he didn’t take them seriously at all.
"I am still the head of this family."
It was as if something exploded in Lin Mengyao's head. This news completely overturned her cognition.
But she didn't want to give up just like that. "Father, I don't have any other intentions. It's just that if your grandson is born in the future, he will definitely feel uncomfortable when he sees his own grandparents loving other children..."
Shen Chengyuan didn't care about these things. "If my child doesn't have this tolerance, he won't be able to achieve anything great in the future."
In just one sentence, Lin Mengyao was completely blocked from speaking.
If he continued to talk, it would only make Shen Chengyuan unhappy, and he would even favor that Shen Yujuan before the child was born.
Lin Mengyao bit her lower lip and finally lowered her head. "Okay, I have no objection if you want to take her back, but I have to say this first. She has her own mother, and I have my own children. If she lives here, I won't give her any maternal love. Don't blame me for being partial when the time comes."
"You don't have to worry about Xiaojuan. Your mother-in-law will take care of her. We won't fight you for your own child. You can take care of her yourself."
Lin Mengyao: “…”
She suddenly felt hopeless. She thought that she could have a place in the Shen family if she gave birth to a son, but now Shen Chengyuan's behavior seemed to be that he didn't care about the child at all!
What do you mean she brings it herself?
She can indeed take care of the child herself, but as grandparents, they would rather take care of other people's children than spend time on their own grandchildren.
It’s really... weird!
Lin Mengyao began to feel a little regretful about marrying Shen Nanfeng.
Originally, she was a little proud last night. She felt that she was more fortunate than Lin Ziqiu because she could have her own children, while Lin Ziqiu could only adopt other people's children.
As a result, before I could even enjoy a day of happiness, the sky fell.
Shen Chengyuan said with a straight face: “It’s up to you, but in the eyes of outsiders, if you act out of temper and deliberately lose face for our Shen family, don’t blame me for not reminding you.”
The implication of this statement is that Lin Mengyao should pretend to be nice to Shen Yujuan in front of outsiders.
Lin Mengyao was so angry that her teeth itched, but she didn't dare to act rashly in front of him, so she could only nod her head sullenly and said weakly, "I know."
Shen Chengyuan didn't stay at home for long. There were still some things to do at the production brigade, so he took the time to come back and talk to Lin Mengyao alone about this matter.
In the morning, he saw that his son Shen Nanfeng was in a very unstable mood, obviously because of Lin Mengyao's pregnancy, and he couldn't accept this fact yet.
So he could only come back by himself and act alone.
There is still a long time to go, Shen Nanfeng will weigh the pros and cons himself, and will accept this matter sooner or later, so he is not worried about these.
As soon as the person left, Lin Mengyao stamped her feet in anger. She touched her belly, her eyes filled with hatred, "Just wait... a child, don't think of blocking my son's way!"
