The arrival of Guan Bo and his wife helped Zhou Xiang to escape the awkward atmosphere. "Aunt Chen, Sister Tian, excuse me, we have guests."
Chen Wenlian nodded and said, "Go quickly, we don't need to greet you here."
Tian Li also nodded, "Go ahead! We don't need to be polite here, we are all acquaintances."
Ling Ran had already welcomed his godfather and godmother into the yard. Zhou Xiang put his arms around their arms, one on each side. "Godfather and godmother, you haven't been here for a long time. Don't you miss me?"
Aunt Guan nodded at her and said, "Don't you know how busy I am? I heard you moved to the eighth floor, but you didn't even notify us so we could go and warm up your room."
"I didn't treat you. My child is young and I have to deal with things at home. I don't have time to worry about these things. Wouldn't it be nice to save you a little money?"
"You kid, you're still right. Next Monday, let's go to your place for lunch."
"Okay, okay! I'll be waiting for you at any time, godfather or godmother."
I led my godfather and godmother to another table. This time, Master Guan Tao and Master Ma Gua would be there, so it would be more appropriate to arrange them at the same table.
There was another guest outside the door. Ling Ran was calling her, so she hurried out of the dining room.
It was Zuo's father and his family who came, naturally including Zuo Heng and Li Li.
As soon as Li Li saw Zhou Xiang, she loudly asked her if the front yard was her work.
Zhou Xiang nodded, "I'm the only one who has the brains and financial resources, right?"
Li Li snorted at her, "Humility makes people progress."
“I’m always improving and proving that I’m humble.”
"You really want me to tell you you're shameless, don't you?"
Zhou Xiang raised his hand and touched his face. "Hmm! Soft and smooth, so tender that it could break if touched."
"Ugh," Li Li pretended to vomit, "You are so narcissistic. So disgusting."
"You either ate too much or you're pregnant. Neither of them has anything to do with me."
Zhou Xiang's words made Li Li's face fall, and Fang Yuehong's face was not very good either.
Zhou Xiang blinked. Conflicts have arisen in just a few months?
"Zuo Heng and Li Li, you guys sit in the courtyard. Zuo Dad and Aunt Fang, let's go into the South Building and sit."
Originally, there was no plan to let this family sit separately, but at this time, Zhou Xiang made a temporary change. After all, it was more appropriate for the younger generations to sit in the yard.
There were five tables in the dining room, and my aunt's family had not yet arranged for people to sit together, so they led Mr. Zuo and Aunt Fang over.
The two families were not strangers. They had met at Zhou Xiang's wedding, and Zhou Xiang had introduced them to each other, so it wouldn't be too awkward for them to sit together.
Long Xin followed her fourth sister and left. "Fourth sister, please give me a table with young people! I don't want to sit with my parents."
"You can sit at any table you see available. I don't have time to take care of you."
"good!"
While the bride wasn't brought in yet, and before any other guests arrived, Zhou Xiang sat down next to Li Li. "What's up? Did something happen to bring on the baby?"
Li Li looked at Zuo Heng, who smiled awkwardly, "You guessed it right. We weren't planning on having one yet, and my mom blamed Li Li for it."
"That's your fault. As the hub between the two of you, you definitely didn't do your job well. I don't have time to explain it to you in detail. When you get back, discuss it with my third brother. Yesterday, I told him all the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problems I encountered regarding the child.
The four of you should discuss this together. Don't leave women out. You must fully understand the tangible and intangible pressures they face after becoming your wives.
Tangible ones, such as Aunt Fang's direct ones, and intangible ones, such as their physical factors and the series of tedious problems they will face after the birth of their children.
These are not things you men can just sow the seeds for. The physical and mental pressures of pregnancy for ten months are beyond your imagination. Talk about it openly and honestly, face and solve problems together.
What you are facing is a common problem faced by thousands of young men and women who have gone from sweet love to forming a family. If you avoid it, not only will there be conflicts in your family, but conflicts between husband and wife will also arise.
If there are no children, no heavy housework, women can also live more freely than you men, take care of themselves every day, listen to music and go shopping,
I won't complain or nag you, and if you live a comfortable life, you won't turn your eyes to the young girls who haven't been dragged down by housework and become yellow-faced women.
If a man changes his wife and still treats his first wife the same way, after a few years, he will have another yellow-faced woman. Therefore, men who dislike a woman who works for a family and doesn’t dress up are all scum.
Zuo Heng opened his mouth to argue. What had he done wrong to deserve a scolding? He was still trying to mediate the relationship between his mother and his wife! He wasn't looking at other women, was he?
But someone else got there first, "Yes, that's absolutely right, men are irresponsible pigs who only rely on their words to deceive women."
Zhou Xiang turned around and saw Zhang Ning and Ji Bin. She even looked behind them, but Zhang Ning sat down and waved his hand, saying, "Don't look. We left early. My parents-in-law probably won't be here for a while."
It turned out that no elders were here. No wonder Ling Ran didn't call her. "What's wrong? Did you also suffer the same treatment as your cousin?"
"Not only that? Not only is my mother-in-law urging me to have a baby, but the guy next to me is also urging me to have a baby. I told him that giving birth to a child is not that simple and that there will be many complicated things to deal with later. Not only did he not listen, he also mentioned that you can easily make the food station pigpen flourish with three children. I was so angry that I wanted to beat him to death."
Zhou Xiang chuckled. "Why are you hitting him? You just need to ask him to give you enough funds to start your business. You just need to ask him to hire two female bodyguards to take care of your children. Of course, the bodyguard company has many bodyguards! We can give you a friendly price."
Zhang Ning clapped his hands, "That's right! How could I have known only violence? I should change it. I need to use reality to defeat him."
Ji Bin walked around to the other side of the left horizontal and sat down. "Ah~ It's so hard to be a man."
Zhou Xiang pushed Zhang Ning and said, "Now is the time to use violence. Go beat him up. Being a woman is harder, okay? Zuo Heng, the six of you need to have a meeting together. If the conflicts between husband and wife aren't handled properly, the company will be in chaos."
Zhang Ning really ran over and started beating him. Ji Bin held his head in his hands and said, "Zhou Xiang, you think the domestic violence I've suffered isn't bad enough, right?"
"You deserve it!" Zhou Xiang only gave him one word.
Zuo Heng nodded, "It seems that everyone is facing the same problem. All kinds of conflicts are caused by the same main reason - children,
It's time to have a serious discussion; there's no escaping it."
"Okay, this is something you should deal with after you go back. I won't chat with you anymore."
"Okay! Go get busy."
Zhou wanted to get up and go to the gate of the courtyard. It was almost time to pick him up.
The sound of firecrackers was heard from the front yard, and Jiang Weihua, the uncle, also walked to the gate of the yard, ready to welcome the elders of the girl's family.
The wedding procession slowly drove into the backyard.
Lu Jin lit firecrackers and the main wedding car stopped at the gate of the courtyard.
Zhou Hua got out of the car, walked around the body of the car, opened the other side of the back seat, and wanted to carry the bride out of the car.
Lu Jin quickly lit another string of firecrackers, so as not to give the girl's family an excuse to find fault.
