Chapter 552 Unable to communicate
"Mom, Lakeside Villa is Jiaojiao and I's home. We invited my mother-in-law to live here because it's our common wish. It doesn't mean that just because she lives here, it becomes her home." Lu Jingyou suppressed his displeasure and mentioned the past. "Back then, when grandma and aunt lived in our house, didn't my grandma say anything?"
After my grandfather passed away, my grandmother brought Lin Manling to the capital to live with Lin Manli. They lived in their home for several years until my grandmother passed away.
Why doesn’t it work when it comes to Chen Guilan?
"These are two different things..." Lin Manli was speechless after being rebuked by Lu Jingyou. "When your grandmother and your aunt came here, they had no place to live. Where else could they live if not with us? Chen Guilan has a house in Jinyuan, so why did she follow you to live in Lakeside Villa?"
"Mom, I just don't understand. The mother-in-law always lives with her daughter, but why is it different when she comes to us?" Lu Jingyou looked at Lin Manli in disbelief. "Besides, how does it bother you if she lives with us?"
His mother-in-law has a good temper and is not a nosy person. With her living at home, he and Su Jiaojiao don't have to worry about her.
The important thing is that Su Jiaojiao doesn’t have to worry about her mother being alone.
He originally thought that there was nothing to dispute about this matter, but his mother kept harping on it.
"Of course she's in my way. If this gets out, people will think your mother-in-law is the boss." Lin Manli remembered that a few days ago she and Lin Manling had made fun of one of their friends, saying that the friend's mother-in-law lived at home, but her own mother couldn't even get in.
Who knew that she would be slapped in the face so quickly that her son actually wanted his mother-in-law to live in the house. Then she would not be able to enter her son's house from then on.
"Mom, there's nothing wrong with my mother-in-law being the head of the family. Besides, why should I live in the eyes of others?" Lu Jingyou didn't care about these things at all. What he cared about was whether his small family was harmonious. Even if his mother-in-law was the head of the family, so what?
He has no objection anyway.
"Even if you don't live in the eyes of others, we will still be laughed at." Lin Manli felt more and more that her son had been brainwashed by Su Jiaojiao and her daughter, and she didn't forget to make amends for herself. "If she didn't have a place to live, it would be fine, but now that she has her own place, she's going with you. Isn't this a clear protest against me?"
"Mom, not everyone is as picky as you are." Lu Jingyou felt that he and his mother couldn't communicate. "Do you think my mother-in-law lives with us because we need to take care of her? On the contrary, she wants to take care of us and help us with housework. She doesn't have as many ideas as you do. She just simply wants us to live a good life."
"Don't I want you to live a good life?" Lin Manli asked back. Lu Jingyou felt that the conversation could no longer continue and said calmly, "Do you think that if my mother-in-law lives in our house, we will not live a good life?"
"You know very well that this is not what I meant..." Lin Manli was about to cry. She had finally raised a son, but he turned out to be Chen Guilan's son. She was unwilling to accept this.
"Mom, Su Jiaojiao will still be fine without me, but I can't live without her." Lu Jingyou stood up, took his coat and walked out. "You decide for yourself which is more important!"
“…” Lin Manli was speechless.
Lu Jiahe sighed slightly but said nothing.
Lu Jingyou originally wanted to go directly to Jinyuan, but Old Mrs. Lu called him and asked him to come back and bring some strawberries for Su Jiaojiao.
Old Mrs. Lu and Song Xiangyun went to the strawberry garden to pick them. She called Su Jiaojiao to come back and eat the strawberries, but Su Jiaojiao said she was in a meeting and didn't have time, so she had to ask Lu Jingyou to bring them over, saying that they would not taste good the next day.
While Su Jiaojiao was away, Mrs. Lu quietly asked Lu Jingyou, "You've been married for more than two months, why is there still no movement? Take Jiaojiao to the hospital tomorrow to check and see if she's pregnant..."
She asked Lu Qingqing to ask about Su Jiaojiao's menstrual period. Although it was not the right time yet, if she had it now, she would not be able to feel it unless she went to the hospital for a blood test.
"Grandma, aren't you too anxious?" Lu Jingyou said with a smile, "She's quite busy right now. We plan to move to the outskirts of Beijing. It won't be too late to have her after we settle down. Please don't rush her."
In fact, he also wants a child, he likes both boys and girls.
But he also had to respect Su Jiaojiao's opinion. Besides, she didn't say no, she just said she wanted it in the second half of the year.
"It's precisely because I didn't push her that I asked you." Mrs. Lu was already very anxious, and when she heard that the couple had no plans to have a child, she became even more anxious. "Why do you have to move to the suburbs of Beijing before you can have one? There's always work to do. Just tell her that I said that she only needs to give birth to the child. She doesn't have to take care of the child, and it won't affect her work."
"Okay, I understand." Lu Jingyou agreed. He felt that the things his grandmother cared about were what the elders should care about. It would be great if his mother was like his grandmother.
When Lu Jingyou returned to Jinyuan, Su Jiaojiao was still waiting for him on the sofa. Seeing him coming back with a basket of strawberries, her eyes lit up: "Why did you buy so many strawberries?"
She has been particularly fond of eating strawberries recently.
I bought it whenever I remembered it these two days and have already eaten a lot.
"Grandma picked them from the strawberry garden." Lu Jingyou went to the kitchen to wash a dish, knocked on Chen Guilan's door, and asked her to come out to eat strawberries. Chen Guilan had already gone to bed and said she didn't want to eat them.
Su Jiaojiao ate with gusto. The strawberries were sweet and delicious, not sour at all, which was very much to her taste.
Seeing her eating so sweetly, Lu Jingyou was also happy: "If you like it, I'll buy more. There is also a strawberry farm in the suburbs of Beijing."
"I happen to be going to the outskirts of Beijing these two days, so why not take some time to go to the strawberry garden." After hearing what he said, Su Jiaojiao became interested in the strawberry garden. The strawberries in the strawberry garden must be more delicious.
"Okay, then let's go together tomorrow." Lu Jingyou immediately sent a text message to Qi Heng, asking him if there was a strawberry garden near the project department.
"There's a strawberry farm inside the hot spring guesthouse we often go to. A lot of people have gone there to pick strawberries these past few days." Qi Heng quickly replied, "It's just the right time for you to soak in the hot spring and eat strawberries. It's as relaxing as you want."
The next morning, Lu Jingyou took Su Jiaojiao to the hot spring B&B. There was indeed a large strawberry garden inside the B&B. The red strawberries were hidden among the green branches, which was pleasing to the eye.
The two picked a basket full of strawberries, and Lu Jingyou suggested going to the hot springs: "You've been tired these days, take a hot spring bath to relax."
"I'm going to work in the industrial park first, and then I'll come over after get off work." Su Jiaojiao felt that soaking in the hot springs in the morning was a waste of time. "I have an appointment with Fang Zeyang to visit the factory tomorrow, so I won't go back to the city today."
"Then let's stay in a B&B halfway up the mountain for one night." Lu Jingyou was happy just thinking about it. At night, the two of them took a hot spring bath and went to bed early. He was happy, but Su Jiaojiao was exhausted and didn't even have the energy to complain to him.
In the early days, he was extremely gentle and took care of her feelings, but now he was becoming more and more troublesome. She suspected that he was pretending before.
After returning from the suburbs of Beijing, Su Jiaojiao felt extremely heavy and always wanted to sleep.
She knew she was tired, so she took two days of rest at home. Coincidentally, Lu Jingyou was on a business trip to western Shanxi during these two days and said he would be back in a week.
Chen Guilan noticed something was wrong with her daughter and wanted to take her to the hospital for a check-up, saying that her period had been delayed for two days and it was very likely that she was pregnant.
Su Jiaojiao refused to go. She was not very accurate in her period. Before she got married, it often took three to five days. Now it was only two days. It was impossible. She knew it.
