Gao Huilan had obviously realized something, and perhaps what Li Ruhui said was true. After all, this kind of lie was too easy to expose. The newspaper office was in the city, and anyone could go there to verify it. If it was false, why would she lie?
Now that I think about it, I was too impulsive just now. Mainly because I didn't expect Zheng Wangshu to have this ability. It was almost a subconscious reaction.
Now calm down and quickly start to turn the tide of the battle.
"So that's how it is. I was short-sighted. Wangshu is really amazing. Being able to work as a translator in a newspaper is a great honor for our Zhou family."
Seeing her forfeit a smile, Li Ruhui laughed inwardly, feeling that it was so satisfying to slap herself in the face today.
She used to be laughed at by her sister-in-law, but now it is finally her turn to take charge.
The old man looked at Zheng Wangshu and nodded approvingly.
"Being able to be a translator is indeed impressive. Talent is scarce in China right now, so I must work hard."
Of course Zheng Wangshu nodded obediently and agreed.
Zhou Yunyan and Zheng Xinyue, who were standing by, had lost all the good mood they had when they came. Especially Zhou Yunyan, his eyes were a little dull, and he couldn't help but look at Zheng Wangshu.
This was still difficult for him to accept, because in his eyes, Zheng Wangshu had nothing good except her beauty, and her only role was to wash clothes and cook at home.
Who would have thought that she could stand on her own outside and work as a translator in a newspaper.
He certainly knew what it meant to be a translator, which meant not only knowing foreign languages, but also being very proficient in them.
They had been married for two years, but he knew nothing about Zheng Wangshu. This woman was hiding something from him.
This made Zhou Yunyan feel very uncomfortable. If there weren't so many outsiders present, he really wanted to go over and ask Zheng Wangshu what he meant.
Zheng Xinyue was also unhappy. She had thought that today's occasion would be her chance to shine, but she didn't expect that Zheng Wangshu would steal the limelight as soon as she arrived.
But she has nothing to show for it right now.
Seeing that no one questioned this matter, Li Ruhui then made another big revelation.
"Dad, the second thing is that Wangshu is pregnant. Our Zhou family is going to have a new member."
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yunyan was immediately dizzy. It was even more shocking than Zheng Wangshu's role as a translator. Zheng Wangshu was actually pregnant? Although he had thought of this a long time ago, he didn't expect it to happen so soon.
If it could be found out so quickly, it's very likely that the two of them got pregnant that day. This woman is really a slut! She got pregnant with a bastard after just one act.
Zhou Yunyan felt like he was going crazy. He couldn't accept it. How could Zheng Wangshu be pregnant with Zhou Jingchuan's child and the two of them be able to get married so smoothly?
He was just angry before, but now seeing Zheng Wangshu becoming more and more outstanding and living in harmony with Zhou Jingchuan, he really couldn't stand it anymore.
This news was obviously more exciting for the old man. No matter whether Zheng Wangshu was pregnant with a boy or a girl, it would be the first child of his grandchildren, and he could be a great-grandfather!
"Good, good, this is such a happy event. It looks like I'll be a great-grandfather soon."
The old lady on the side was also very happy. She was a princess of the Qing Dynasty and was usually very particular about her manners. But at this moment, she couldn't help but get excited.
Gao Huilan looked at everyone laughing there stupidly, and the expression on her face was uglier than crying.
Zheng Wangshu was actually pregnant. She had a guess in her mind at this time, and she must have gotten pregnant that day.
She couldn't give birth to a son, and Zhou Jingchuan was going to have his own child soon, with a 50% chance of it being a boy, which made her feel a sense of crisis.
"Wangshu, you must take good care of yourself. If you are really too busy, just send the two children to us first. After all, your translation work is pretty good, it would be a shame to quit just like that. The old man and I are usually not busy, so we can also help you look after Tiantian and Xiaohui."
The old lady spoke with a kind face, which moved Zheng Wangshu deeply.
"Don't worry, grandma. I can still handle it. I just need to allocate my time reasonably. Jingchuan and the others are also helping me take care of the children. You and grandpa are getting old, so the most urgent thing is to take care of your health."
Zheng Wangshu was very polite and didn't sell it just because he got a bargain. If it were someone else, they would have agreed long ago and let the two children live with the old man and his family. After a long time, they would inevitably develop feelings for each other and would definitely dote on their children even more.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Wangshu refused.
Now the old man looked at her with even greater respect. How come they didn't know that Zheng Wangshu was so outstanding before? It seemed that they had misjudged her.
At this moment, the Zhou family's eldest wife became the focus of attention. Gao Huilan watched from the side, unable to say a word.
What was there for them to be proud of? Nothing in their home could compare to the other family's.
He couldn't help but look at Zheng Xinyue standing beside him, and felt that this daughter-in-law was not up to standard in any way.
Everyone was smart, and seeing how much the old man and the others valued Zheng Wangshu, everyone's attitude towards her became much better.
He no longer stared at Zheng Wangshu with a look of ridicule.
Zheng Wangshu thought, as for face, you have to earn it yourself, you can't rely on others.
After the meal, the gift-giving session began. Li Ruhui and her family bought tea, and the other two families also brought gifts.
The old man accepted them all with a smile.
Zheng Xinyue immediately perked up and took out the set of silver bowls and chopsticks with Zhou Yunyan.
"Grandpa and grandma, I picked this specially for you. Silver items are better for your age. They can help detoxify and improve your complexion."
The old man just glanced at it lightly and then nodded.
“That’s thoughtful.”
As he said that, he took the thing and put it aside.
Zheng Xinyue was somewhat disappointed, as she thought the old man would like it very much.
Zheng Wangshu was watching this scene from the side and found it funny. People like the old man wouldn't be interested in anything made of silver, let alone gold.
Zheng Xinyue noticed Zheng Wangshu's gloating expression, and seeing that she hadn't taken out anything for such a long time, she couldn't help but mock her.
"Sister, you didn't prepare any gifts?"
Her voice suddenly rose, and everyone turned their eyes to her.
Zheng Wangshu shook his head. "How is that possible?"
As he spoke, he took out a scroll from behind him and handed it over.
"Grandpa, this is a painting I made especially for you. I also wish you good health and a long life."
When Zheng Xinyue heard that it was a painting, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Sister, this is the picture you drew? How come I didn't know you could draw? Could it be a stick figure?"
The old man and his family were also interested. During the Chinese New Year and other festivals, many people would give gifts, but no one had ever given them calligraphy or paintings, especially those they painted themselves.
"Sister, stop joking. Can I give a stick figure to Grandpa?"
