She knew that the Zhou family had emptied their savings for the bride price, and the two elders must have been very depressed.
And she was even more unfilial. She didn't even bother to pay attention to the Zhou family when she got married. The Zhou family just held a banquet and didn't even offer tea.
Because she didn't like Zhou Yanjing at that time, the Shen family hosted the wedding banquet and she also lived with the Shen family. She had never lived in the rural Zhou family.
Despite this, Zhou Yanjing still tolerated her as always and never complained. The two elders of the Zhou family were very fond of her. Although they had only met once, Zhou Li's attitude and behavior showed that he liked her very much.
Thinking of this, Shen Liwu couldn't help but feel a little guilty. She lowered her head and said softly, "How about, after I have rested for a while, let's go back to see our parents?"
Zhou Yanjing's eyes froze slightly, apparently he didn't expect her to bring this up.
He was silent for a moment, the emotions in his eyes were complicated and difficult to discern, and finally turned into a warm smile.
"Really? You want to go back?"
Shen Liwu nodded, with a look of determination and expectation in her eyes, "Yes, after all, they are our parents, and it's time to go back and visit them. And..."
She paused, her voice softened a little, "I didn't understand before, and I never showed them any displeasure. I'm not a qualified daughter-in-law."
When Zhou Yanjing heard her words, his heart was shocked and a barely perceptible touch of emotion flashed in his eyes. He reached out and gently held her hand. The warmth from his palm made her feel at ease.
"You are not unqualified," he whispered, with a bit of tenderness and firmness in his voice, "You are the one I love the most, and my parents will understand you. The past is over, and we just need to live our lives now."
Shen Liwu raised her head, a slight luster in her eyes and a faint smile on her lips. "You really think so?"
"Of course," Zhou Yanjing nodded without hesitation, his eyes sincere and focused, "You are my wife. No matter what happened in the past, the present and the future are the most important. As long as you are willing, we can come back anytime."
Shen Liwu’s heart was touched warmly by his words, she nodded, and her tone became softer. "Then let's go back home when I'm tired. I also want to see my parents and have a chat with them."
"Well," Zhou Yanjing smiled and reached out to gently rub the top of her head, "I'll take you around the village sometime. The scenery there is nice, and the air is fresher than in the city."
Shen Liwu leaned on his shoulder, listening to his low voice, feeling more at ease than ever before.
Her fingers unconsciously stroked the back of his hand a few times, and she said softly, "Do you think my parents will blame me?"
"No," Zhou Yanjing said in a firm and comforting tone, "They have been looking forward to your return. My mother always said that a daughter-in-law is half a daughter, and they will love you as their own daughter."
"Back then, my parents only loved me and not you. If you bullied me, I would tell mom and let her deal with you." Shen Liwu said somewhat proudly.
When Zhou Yanjing heard this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised and a smile flashed in his eyes.
He reached out and gently pinched her cheek, with a hint of teasing in his tone, "Ah, if you dare to complain, I will admit my mistake. But——"
He deliberately dragged out his tone and looked at her meaningfully, "You have to make sure you dare to tell our mother. After all, I only bully you in bed."
Shen Liwu’s cheeks flushed instantly, and the roots of her ears felt hot.
She pushed Zhou Yanjing away and punched him on the chest twice, "Ah, Zhou Yanjing, why are you so mean! Why do you pick on that person to bully me? I won't complain to you."
Zhou Yanjing laughed softly, his eyes surprisingly bright.
At this moment, his heart was satisfied and he felt that he was the happiest man in the world.
