Chapter 35 wasn't very welcoming to me.
Zhao Fengxiu added, "Yes, we can shoulder this together! There's an old lady in his family, so you have to take care of his father and the elderly lady! Huang Zhijian doesn't earn any money, so now that family is relying on you and Huang Zhijian."
Are you sure he can handle those caregiving tasks? If you do them, you'll have to work, get pregnant, and take care of your elderly mother at home.
I think you... well, if you think you can do it, then you can. We're just chatting casually, nothing more.
Zhao Fengxiu's words were so clear; she wasn't just rambling.
Liu Xiangqian and Liu Zhenyu both fell silent.
Just then, Old Lady Yang's voice came from the other side of the house.
"You old hag! What nonsense are you spouting now? Are you trying to ruin Zhenyu's happiness? Third brother, why don't you kick her out!"
What's wrong with Zhenyu? She has to work, be pregnant, and take care of her elderly mother. Did Huang Zhijian spring from a rock? Doesn't he have his mother? His mother can give them money to buy things and send so much; they say they'll take care of it!
They can also help him with his work and provide him with financial support in the future! How could Zhenyu be the only one taking care of the family?
"Zhao Fengxiu, you come here and start spouting nonsense! Don't curse my Zhenyu! Have you finished with your own affairs? Why are you meddling in my granddaughter Zhenyu's business?"
Zhao Fengxiu seemed to suddenly realize something and exclaimed, "Oh! So Huang Zhijian wasn't born from a stone, he has a mother! He'll still have a job, and his mother will support him, right?"
Oh, I didn't know that! When will the job be secured? How will we be supported, and how much will it be each month? Did he tell you? Who can guarantee these things?
Zhao Fengxiu's suggestion shocked even Old Lady Yang.
She quickly grabbed Liu Zhenyu, "Zhenyu, have you thought this through? Did Zhijian really say that? Have you met his biological mother?"
Liu Zhenyu was dumbfounded and explained, "No, he said before that his mother would take care of these things for him, and that she would in the future."
Besides, Zhijian and I grew up together as childhood sweethearts, I trust him, Grandma, don't worry!
Zhao Fengxiu said sarcastically, "Your grandma is definitely worried about you! Old ginger is spicier, she knows everything."
After saying this, Old Lady Yang lowered her head, thought for a moment, and then scolded Zhao Fengxiu, "Why do you have to meddle so much? Since Zhenyu likes him and they are childhood sweethearts who are going to get married, you can't just ruin it!"
In the blink of an eye, Old Lady Yang pulled Liu Zhenyu closer and said, "I think we should be careful. We need to see his biological mother in person to give her a guarantee and confirm how his job and future support will be arranged. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for you to go there."
After all, his family's circumstances are such that there's also an old lady named Zheng who's even older than me! I'm practically bedridden, and she's even more so.
Once you go there, you'll inevitably have to take care of her. You're my precious granddaughter, and Grandma hopes you'll be well.
Grandma Yang kept giving Liu Zhenyu instructions.
Seeing them like this, Liu Xiangqian made up his mind, "Okay! Zhenyu, you make an appointment with him and ask him properly! See if you can meet his biological mother and figure out how to live together in the future."
Seeing his grandmother and father like this, Liu Zhenyu could only nod.
"He said he'd come to my house for dinner today to get to know me better. He's on his way now and should be arriving soon."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Fengxiu knew she had guessed correctly!
Unexpectedly, Huang Zhijian personally delivered the gift to my door.
Zhao Fengxiu said, "When he arrives later, you must ask him clearly about his future work arrangements, how his mother will support him, and how he will guarantee your livelihood, right?"
Do you really need your dad to control you? Don't your older brother and younger brother need to?
Even Old Mrs. Yang couldn't refute these words; she had heard quite a few while resting and catching her breath in the house.
Liu Zhenyu lowered her head; she knew the seriousness of the problem.
She knew Huang Zhijian well; he had the same personality as the Uncle Huang her father had described back then. But she just liked Huang Zhijian's roguish and handsome appearance; it really appealed to her.
But if she were to actually get married, she couldn't even imagine what married life would be like.
...
When Sun Afang returned, Huang Zhijian came along with her.
He entered the house with a grin, "Dad! I didn't expect you to have Mom buy wine for me, did you? You knew I was coming so you could treat me, so I won't hold back! I'm sure I can outdrink you, hahaha!"
Huang Zhijian laughed heartily, looking rather roguish.
Zhao Fengxiu looked closely and saw that he was just like Huang Weifeng back then, grinning and never serious!
He's much worse than my third brother!
After Huang Zhijian entered the house, he was taken aback when he saw that there were other people present. "Hey, we have guests here? Zhenyu, why didn't you introduce them to me?"
Liu Zhenyu pulled him over and said, "This is your uncle and aunt."
Huang Zhijian was somewhat surprised, "You still have uncles and aunts? How come I didn't know?"
Liu Zhenyu said, "Now you know. Anyway, these dishes and wine are for your uncle and aunt, so don't eat them indiscriminately."
Huang Zhijian was displeased after he finished speaking.
"What? They're guests, but I'm not? I thought they were here to treat me! Turns out they weren't, and I got all excited for nothing!"
This isn't enough! If they eat it, what about me? I can't just watch them eat it!
Zhao Fengxiu became suspicious. How could they possibly watch Huang Zhijian like this?
She looked at Liu Xiangqian with a strange expression. Liu Xiangqian, noticing her gaze, could only awkwardly scratch his head and say, "Second sister-in-law, Zhijian is just like this. We've gotten used to it over the years. You don't need to be so formal."
Zhao Fengxiu smiled and said, "Why are you being so formal? Shouldn't we just go along with the host's arrangements?"
Liu Xiangqian was stunned.
Huang Zhijian sensed the sarcasm in Liu Zhenyu's tone and said, "It seems your uncle and aunt aren't very welcoming! I'll come another day then, consider this a wasted trip."
As Huang Zhijian was about to leave, Liu Zhenyu stopped him, saying, "Since you're already here, sit down and eat with us! I'll go help Mom and my sister-in-law make something to eat, you stay here and chat with them."
Liu Zhenyu ran away immediately, and Grandma Yang didn't stop him.
Zhao Fengxiu said, "Oh my, Zhenyu is so diligent! He's much better than my two girls. They only move after I have to urge them three or four times!"
Grandma Yang found this amusing and laughed smugly, "Of course! Don't you know whose family you are? Unlike your family, where every single one of you is an unfilial son! I heard your family has been making quite a fuss lately."
"Jianguo's child still hasn't been assigned to school, and you, as his grandmother, don't even care. It's all your own fault! Unlike you, I have Xiangqian to be filial, and my grandson to be filial too, hmph!"
Zhao Fengxiu sneered, too lazy to pay attention to her, and turned to Huang Zhijian, saying, "Such a grown man, coming to his father-in-law's house and doing nothing but sitting and waiting to be eaten, that's quite carefree."
Unlike my family, Jiancheng, who was always busy running around when visiting the Li family, you had it so easy!
