The old lady talked to Zhou Lanping from time to time. She was a very friendly person.
"If you want to live here from now on, then stay here. It's a mess at home anyway, so it doesn't matter if you don't move. As long as you give birth to the baby safely, that's all that matters."
The old lady said to Zhou Lanping with a smile.
Zhou Lanping had never been treated so kindly by others. When she was a daughter-in-law in the Liu family, she was the punching bag of the whole family. In this world, not all mothers-in-law are like Old Lady Liu. There are also reasonable people.
"Thank you, Mom."
Zhou Lanping smiled embarrassedly and stroked her belly gently, thinking that with a grandmother like this, her child would definitely not have a bad character in the future.
She doesn't ask her children to be very smart or have an IQ that is exceptional. Just look at Liu Jing and you will know. Behind her intelligence, she still has to support a family of two women as a mother.
It doesn't matter if the children are mediocre. Although she also wants her children to be successful, she hopes more that they can grow up safely and have a smooth life.
"I came here in a hurry this time and didn't bring anything with me."
The old lady felt a little regretful. How could she have forgotten about this matter?
"Next time I come over, I'll give it to you again." As she spoke, she took something out of her body and put it in Zhou Lanping's hand.
Zhou Lanping lowered his head and was also shocked.
It turned out to be a passbook. No matter how much money was in it, she didn't dare to take it.
"Take it."
The old lady stuffed the passbook into Zhou Lanping's hands and said, "You are the hero who helped us start a family. This is what you deserve."
When Zhou Lanping was about to say something else, the old lady's face turned fierce.
"A gift from an elder should not be declined."
In the end, Zhou Lanping had to hold back what he wanted to say.
Thank you, mom.
She held the passbook tightly in her hand, not daring to look inside. How much was there?
No matter how much it is, even if there is only one cent, it is the old lady's affirmation of her daughter-in-law.
After finishing her meal, the old lady went home directly without even staying one more night. She returned to the Cheng family that very night because she was afraid that the people in the Cheng family would make trouble and seek death when she was not there.
It seems that starting a family is not a very peaceful place.
Liu Liang added some corn crumbs to the chopped vegetable leaves, and finally crushed a pill into it. After mixing all these things, she fed them to the chickens.
I think within two months, these half-grown chickens will grow into old hens, and they will lay quite a few eggs, which will be enough for food.
It’s not that the ones bought outside are not good, it’s just that it’s not easy to get authentic free-range eggs nowadays.
It’s not as good as feeding it yourself.
Liu Jing suddenly turned around and saw Zeng Xubai coming over with a pot of water, and then poured the water into the sink on the side.
“Is starting a family messy?”
Although Liu Liang had never deliberately inquired about Cheng's family affairs, she could feel from the old lady's words and actions today that the place where Cheng's family lived was indeed not a good place.
"It's not peaceful."
Zeng Xubai did not hide it from Liu Liang. In fact, a family like the Cheng family would always have some internal struggles. Some of them were harmless and could be considered a healthy competition. But the affairs of the Cheng family were like the ancient royal family fighting for the throne.
They are all fighting for the position of the head of the family, and they don't even care about their face.
The story starts with Cheng Bin's grandfather, Fang Yuan's great-grandfather. The old man was a prominent figure in his time. He had one wife and three concubines. Cheng Bin's father was the eldest son and grandson. Cheng Bin was also the eldest son. Naturally, it was Cheng Bin who would be the head of the Cheng family. However, because Fang Yuan's surname was Fang, he was raised under the name of the Fang family.
This is what made some people in the Cheng family have bad thoughts and started to dream of becoming the head of the family.
If Fang Yuan's surname was not Fang, even if he was the old lady's grandson, he would not be able to inherit everything from the Cheng family. In fact, those people may have already discussed it long ago. Even if Fang Yuan changed his surname to Cheng Yuan, they would come up with various reasons, such as not growing up in the Cheng family and always being on the side of the Fang family in his heart. In short, even if Fang Yuan really wanted to inherit everything from the Cheng family, it would not be an easy thing.
What's more, Fang Yuan never wanted those things that came with getting married. The Fang family's business was enough to keep Fang Yuan busy. He had to deal with Fang family affairs since he was in his teens, when he was still in school. If he added Chengjia to the mix, he would either be exhausted to death or driven crazy.
He didn't even have the desire to go back to such a chaotic Cheng family, so how could he possibly want anything from the Cheng family?
But if he doesn't go back, what will happen to Chengjia?
Cheng Bin has average qualifications and a good temper, but at the same time, due to his personality, he lacks thoughtfulness. If he had even a third of the old lady's courage, the one who is in charge of the Cheng family now would not be the old lady.
The old lady knew that both the father and son were not up to the task, so she gave them a strict order: no matter who had the child, they must give birth to a qualified heir to the family.
Everything in the Cheng family naturally belongs to them, how could it be given to others?
That was what Cheng Bin's grandfather and father had worked so hard to guard. If it were someone else, the old lady might really give up power, but the old man had said that the Cheng family could only belong to their lineage and must never be passed on to the children of those vixens.
The old lady may not remember anything, but she will definitely remember this sentence.
This is why Fang Yuan was so excited that he couldn't sleep for several days and nights after he knew he was going to have a younger brother or sister.
He is not pretending, he really likes it and is sincerely grateful.
Finally, he doesn't have to work hard to incubate the eggs.
He is still a child, he hasn't had enough fun, and he is not ready to be a father.
Now he doesn’t have to worry about it anymore, just leave it to his younger brothers and sisters to start a family.
Anyway, the Fang family would never let him get married and have children so early. His grandparents are in good health and can live another 20 or 30 years without any problem.
As Liu Liang listened, she lowered her hands that had been clasped across her chest.
So, neither Uncle Cheng nor Grandma Cheng has any intention of letting my mother go back at the moment?
She originally thought that it was because of her family situation that her mother was not allowed to go back. To be honest, she was very unhappy at that time.
Although her family is not rich, they are a decent family. So what if her mother is divorced? Doesn't that mean Cheng Bin has never been divorced?
Besides, Cheng Bin is already in his forties, and it is not easy for him to marry a woman as kind, gentle, fair-skinned and beautiful as her mother, who can also give birth to twins for their Cheng family.
