Chapter 202: Hypocrisy
Mother Zhao felt even more angry when she heard this. It happened that she had also been through that time, and when she was an old man, she was even more excessive. She said angrily, "Shut up, don't talk about Zhunti's past. In the past, you were not as sensible as your son."
Father Zhao didn't object. Just shut up. They were both young people. It's normal for them to be inseparable now that they are separated from each other. What's there to say?
Seeing the old man really talking, Zhao's mother was even more angry. She had never seen him so obedient before, but now he really talked when she told him not to talk.
Father Zhao saw that the old woman was very angry, so he quickly walked up to her, stretched out his hands to hug her, and held her in his arms, "Okay, don't be angry, it's your fault, I should have made you angry, I apologize to you, okay."
Mother Zhao was held in the old man's arms. She was already a year old, but the two of them were still hugging each other. It was really embarrassing. "Okay, I'm exhausted, let go quickly."
"Then you can't make your old son angry. He's going to go on a mission soon. It's normal for him to be reluctant to leave his wife. You can't say anything to him and make him feel burdened."
Mother Zhao rolled her eyes at the old man, but unfortunately because she was in the old man's arms, the old man saw it, "How can you be so sensible? My son is also my own son. I can still love him. I'm just worried about my daughter-in-law's health."
"You are worrying too much. My daughter-in-law is in such good health, how could there be any problem? Have you ever seen her catch a cold in the past? She is in good health!"
Father Zhao felt that the old woman was just messing around.
"If it were a normal daughter-in-law, she would definitely be worried. But your daughter-in-law is normal. Do you know how many babies are in her belly? Judging from her appetite, there are at least two. You should observe her appetite more during this period. If she eats more, then there will be more than two babies in her belly. Do you think you can be worried?"
Mother Zhao didn't think she was overthinking it. After all, they all had criminal records. Fortunately, her daughter-in-law's belly was now visible, so she wasn't so angry. Otherwise, the brat would have to get a beating anyway.
When Mr. Zhao heard what his wife said, he realized that since his daughter-in-law hadn't gone to the hospital for a check-up, he had assumed that she had one. It seemed that he should go for a check-up to save his family from worrying.
"Okay, I won't take care of them today. Go and cook. The kids are sleeping well. It's okay if no one is watching them. I'll light the fire for you."
When the mother-in-law called them to eat at noon, the two were counting money in the bedroom. Zhao Shengrui was short of one dollar's salary, which had been in the drawer and no one had looked at it. He was thinking of seeing how much he had and then giving some to his mother-in-law. After all, his mother-in-law would come to serve him, and he would have to pay for it himself in the end. It didn't make sense.
"Yueyue, come out and eat soon."
"Got it. I'll be right out."
Since her mother-in-law had already called her, Tang Yue stopped lingering in the room and went straight to the living room to eat. Seeing that there was nothing unusual on her mother-in-law's face, she thought that she should know that she and Zhao Shengrui had just been fooling around in the room. She breathed a sigh of relief and then focused on eating.
Zhao Shengrui was unlucky. As soon as he walked out of the house, he was fixed on by his parents' gazes. The fierceness in their eyes almost made him think that he had done something extremely evil. Fortunately, he was able to keep a thick skin. Even though he was panicking, there was no expression on his face and he remained calm.
But in the eyes of Zhao's father and mother, his expression was just a stubborn act of refusing to admit his fault, which made them even more angry. They glared at him a few more times before pretending nothing happened and sitting down to eat.
Maybe Tang Yue enjoyed the meal more, while the others found it a little difficult to swallow.
Seeing how much her daughter-in-law ate, Zhao's mother thought there should be no problem, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her glares at her oldest son were not so harsh anymore.
After dinner, Tang Yue directly asked Zhao Shengrui to take out half of the money he had just counted. "I've been here for so long, and I've always been living off my parents. I originally thought that Brother Shengrui gave his salary to my parents, so I didn't expect this. Later, I found out that the salary was in that drawer, and I realized that Brother Shengrui didn't give money to my parents for household expenses. I'll give the money to my parents every month in the future, but you two are always taking care of the kids for me, and I have to pay for it myself. How can you guys feel comfortable with that?"
Zhao's mother quickly refused, "You don't need to pay me. That's what your father and I are happy about. I used to help your brothers and sisters-in-law take care of the kids. That's how we got by. Why do we need you to pay me?"
"But it wasn't that tiring to take care of babies for your brothers and sisters-in-law, and there were nannies to help you back then. Now you two old people are taking care of four babies, which is twice as tiring as before. In a few months, when the baby in your belly comes out, you will be even more tired."
Just then, I saw Zhao Shengrui take out the money. He took it and handed it to his parents. They kept refusing, but Zhao Shengrui looked at them and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm giving it to you. Just keep it. It's too embarrassing to push it back and forth. Just think of it as you keep it temporarily. When the family needs it, use this money."
When Zhao's mother saw her eldest son said so, she put the money away. It was all to be used on them anyway, and she would not embezzle their money because she had plenty of money!
Tang Yue heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that her mother-in-law had finally put the money away. Her parents-in-law had always been helping her family, and she had seen their hard work. She had never had a good excuse before, so she just added spiritual water to the thermos they drank, but later on the effect was too great, so she stopped. Now their bodies are in good shape, and she will use it for them when they are old, and she is using it now.
"Wife, we just finished dinner. I'd like to walk with you in the yard."
When Zhao Shengrui saw that his wife wanted to go to the room again, he quickly called her to stop. He found that during this pregnancy, his wife always wanted to sleep, but sleeping right after a meal would definitely be good for her health, so he decided to take her for a walk in the yard.
Tang Yue had no objection. Zhao Shengrui would be leaving soon anyway, so it would be good for the two of them to spend more time together. It would be fine even if they could communicate in bed, but it was also good for the two of them to walk quietly together.
After walking for about half an hour, Zhao Shengrui came back and prepared to pack up and leave.
Tang Yue sat on the bed and watched him pack his things quietly. She had often been on missions before, but she was never so reluctant. Could it be that she was more pretentious because of her pregnancy?
Zhao Shengrui packed two sets of clothes and saw his wife sitting on the bed looking at him quietly. He felt his throat a little tight.
