"What kind of man are you doing this kind of work? Let your wife help." Fang's mother frowned and gestured towards Mao Fangfei. After coming back, she just shrugged and ate whatever was served to her. She didn't even bother to pick up the soy sauce bottle that had fallen over. She's lazy, fierce, and can't even lay an egg. Her son is really blind.
Fang Yanming rolled his eyes in annoyance. His mother was starting to stir things up again, as if she was afraid the New Year wouldn't be lively enough. If she really angered his wife, he wouldn't be able to enjoy the New Year at all.
Fang's mother shut her mouth in annoyance and went to the kitchen to boil water. When she passed by Mao Fangfei, she couldn't help but glare at her. Mao Fangfei was peeling small walnuts while playing on her phone, chatting with Ye Qingqing.
"The old woman is up to no good; she's been behaving herself for less than four days."
"Then you should come back and tell Fang Yanming. Anyway, the New Year is over," Ye Qingqing advised.
"No rush. Since I promised to return to the city on the sixth day of the new year, I definitely have to keep my promise. It's only the second day now, there are still four days left."
"Then don't be too hard on yourself. To be honest, your in-laws are more difficult to deal with than Yuanyuan's. Fang Yanming is a good example of someone who has remained untainted by the mud."
Although Ye Qingqing only had one encounter with the Fang family, the memory was still vivid. This family was full of oddballs, and they were extremely dirty and lazy. It was truly remarkable that Fang Yanming was able to come out of such a family.
"Don't worry, I will never wrong myself again."
"That's good. Don't rush to have a baby. I'm sure I can help you and Fang Yanming have your own baby. Don't stop taking the pills I prescribed for you. If you're lucky, there will be good news in the spring!"
Mao Fangfei smiled. Actually, she didn't really care much about having children. Whether she had children or not didn't matter. If she really wanted a child, she could adopt one from an orphanage. However, she wasn't ready to be a mother yet. Raising a child is not an easy thing. Once you decide to have one, you have to give the child a stable and warm life and spend time with them. If you can't spend time with them, it's better not to raise one at all!
"Uncle, Aunt, how are you?"
A group of people came in through the door, carrying milk cartons and wine as gifts. Fang's father greeted them warmly. Judging from their address, Mao Fangfei deduced that they were Fang Yanming's aunt's family.
There were about ten people, young and old, who filled the courtyard. There were also three children, the older one was about ten years old and the younger one was three or four years old, with rosy cheeks.
"Have lunch before you leave, Yanming. Have your wife help with the cooking, and also slaughter a duck," Fang's father ordered loudly, then assigned Mao Fangfei to the task.
The elderly couple couldn't stand seeing Mao Fangfei idle. Four days of waiting was already their limit, and now that guests were coming, they couldn't possibly hold back any longer. Besides, they didn't think Mao Fangfei would put on a bad face in front of the guests.
"I'll go call my sister-in-law; Fangfei doesn't know how to cook dishes cooked in a traditional earthen stove," Fang Yanming said, protecting his wife.
"Oh my, Yanming really knows how to dote on his wife. You can't neglect your parents now that you have a wife!" the old lady said sarcastically as she entered the door.
This woman is Fang Yanming's aunt. She and Fang Yanming's parents are of the same mind and both think that Mao Fangfei is not good enough for Fang Yanming. They believe that it is a sin for a woman not to be able to have children. In the past, this would have been considered one of the seven grounds for divorce.
Of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is having no offspring. The Fang family's decision not to divorce Mao Fangfei is a testament to their benevolence. However, Mao Fangfei remains unrepentant, putting on airs like a city dweller at home. The Fang family can't stand it, and they're all seething with anger!
“Yanming is definitely not that kind of person. Chuntao, you and Yanming’s wife go and help my aunt.” A man in his forties said casually, acting like he was in charge. He was Fang Yanming’s cousin, and Chuntao was his wife.
