Chapter 394: No Hardship
"So that's how it is. It seems they just haven't found a way to get along with you yet. Once I have a good talk with them and they know where your bottom line is, they'll feel much more comfortable." Su Qian said.
Grandma hurriedly said, "Oh, don't tell them. Don't tell them. Otherwise Zhang Yan will feel uncomfortable and think I'm targeting her."
Grandma always held back from saying these things because she felt that there was no need to say them, otherwise it would make everyone unhappy.
There’s really no need!
"It's okay, I'll talk to my uncle first." Su Qian said.
"Then... then don't tell anyone about what I said, and don't target Zhang Yan. It's not easy for her to be a woman."
"Yeah, I know."
The next day, Su Qian invited Lei Zhen and others to dinner at her home. Lei Zhen and others brought wine and various gifts.
There was a chef in charge of cooking, and grandma could have sat back and waited for the meal, but she couldn't sit still and insisted on going over to help the chef.
As a result, when she got busy, grandma accidentally hit her waist without paying attention.
Zhang Yan whispered, "Isn't this just eating without suffering?"
In fact, she didn't mean to target her grandmother, but because many of their habits were different, she felt as if her grandmother was deliberately targeting her.
But Zhang Yan just kept it in her heart and didn't say it out loud, and as a result, she felt more and more uncomfortable.
"Zhang Yan, what did you say?" Lei Zhen looked at Zhang Yan unhappily, frowning slightly.
Only then did Zhang Yan realize that her muttering seemed a little loud and they had heard it.
Zhang Yan's expression changed. Since all these people heard it, there was no need for her to hide it?
But Zhang Yan knew in her heart that Lei Zhen cared very much about the old lady.
So she could only suppress her anger and smiled at Lei Zhen, saying, "No, I said our mother has worked hard."
"Mom, let me massage your waist." Zhang Yan said to her grandmother.
"Oh, no, it's nothing serious. I'll just apply some ointment and I'll be fine. Let's eat, everyone."
Grandma said this, her eyes filled with disappointment.
Lei Zhen looked at Su Qian for help. He actually noticed that there seemed to be friction between his wife Zhang Yan and the old lady.
But he is just a rough man and he really can't be as delicate as a woman.
He realized the problem, but didn't know how to solve it.
When Su Qian said she wanted to have dinner together and find a way to resolve the conflict between them, Lei Zhen readily agreed.
After dinner, grandma went into the room and took out a jade pendant.
She gave it to Zhang Yan: "Zhang Yan, this is my family's heirloom jade pendant. We haven't found out the exact year it was made. But it has been passed down in the Liu family. After the Liu family fell into poverty, only the bracelet and the jade pendant were left. I gave the bracelet to Su Qian's mother as a dowry. This is a gift from me to you."
Zhang Yan was immediately attracted by the jade pendant on her grandmother's hand. The jade had good water content and a noble emerald green color. The lustrous feeling that came from being soaked in time was something that other jades did not have.
Zhang Yan fell in love with him at first sight.
She said, "It's so expensive, I can't accept it."
Grandma said, "This is a gift from me to my daughter-in-law. Please keep it."
She paused and continued, "Actually, I'm not very good at speaking. But my intentions are good. Next time if you feel uncomfortable, just tell me and I'll correct it."
Zhang Yan's heart was touched, and her eyes gradually became misty.
She pursed her lips and shook her head. "I'm sorry, I'm also wrong. I kept everything in my heart, so I felt uncomfortable."
"Let's talk openly from now on. It's okay. Kankan and I are like this. If you feel unhappy, just say it. It's no big deal." Grandma said to Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan nodded: "Okay."
Zhang Yan was not bribed by her grandmother's jade pendant.
To be honest, she is Lei Zhen's wife. No matter what kind of jade pendant she wants, she just waves her hand and the jewelry store or auction house will deliver it to her.
But she felt respected and valued in her grandmother's words.
"That's great. Now that you've talked it out, I feel relieved." Su Qian said, "We'll still be a family from now on."
"Of course. Even if we quarrel, it won't affect our being a family," said grandma.
Fu Xiao said to Lei Zhen, "Uncle, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is a long and arduous journey. The best way is to separate them. Only when they don't see each other can they get along harmoniously. As the saying goes, distance creates beauty, isn't it?"
Lei Zhen smiled and said, "You're right. A few days ago, I suggested we settle down in the capital. But your aunt and Tingting objected. They felt that they were used to life in the south, that the winters here were very cold, and that the living habits were different, so..."
Fu Xiao said, "I understand. I've found a newly renovated courtyard house. When you have free time, you can come here for vacation and visit the scenic spots. When you've had enough fun, you can turn around and go back to Hong Kong."
Lei Zhen readily accepted it and said, "Your method is the best."
"You're welcome." Fu Xiao said.
After resolving the minor friction between Grandma and Zhang Yan, Fu Xiao and Su Qian announced, "Qian Qian is pregnant. In eight or nine months, there will be a new member in the family."
Fu Xiao placed his hand on Su Qian's belly and said, "Why haven't there been any changes?"
Su Qian said speechlessly, "You watch it every day, how could you possibly notice the changes so quickly?"
Fu Xiao smiled embarrassedly.
Lei Zhen and Zhang Yan watched the interaction between Su Qian and Fu Xiao, with a hint of envy in their eyes.
Although they already have Lei Ting, they also hope to have a child of their own.
However, Lei Zhen has health problems.
Zhang Yan did not make it public in order to protect Lei Zhen's dignity.
But the grandmother didn't know the situation, and seeing that Zhang Yan used all kinds of methods to maintain her figure, she thought that Zhang Yan didn't want a child, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
At this time, Su Qian said to Lei Zhen, "Uncle, why don't you and Auntie have another child? It would make the family more lively."
Given their family's financial situation, no matter how many children they have, there will be professionals to take care of them, so raising children is not a difficult task for them.
Lei Zhen smiled and said, "I do want to, but unfortunately... my health was damaged in the early years, and now the quality of pregnancy is not very good. That's why Zhang Yan has been unable to successfully maintain her pregnancy several times."
"After so many times, I was afraid that Zhang Yan's body couldn't bear it, so I gave up the plan."
Lei Zhen looked in Zhang Yan's direction, full of guilt.
Zhang Yan didn't expect Lei Zhen to express his pain so easily.
Instead, she felt even more sorry for Lei Zhen.
