The only difficulty was that this was a costume drama, filmed in the southern Zhejiang Province, and the shooting period was as long as three months. As a result, she would not be able to return from the south until the Chinese New Year.
Ji Ping did not care about Zheng Yujing's career choice. If she wanted to shoot, he agreed. Business trips were not a problem for him.
Because he is also busy and can only go home late at night every day, he basically has no time to accompany Zheng Jing. The couple now hardly talk to each other every day.
He even thought it would be nice for Zheng Jing to go out and act in a movie so that she wouldn't be bored at home.
The problem is that no matter where Zheng Jing goes, Ji Ping's mother wants to control it.
Ji Ping was too busy, spending every day in the editing room of the studio editing films, and had no energy to take care of the family affairs, which gave his mother an opportunity.
One afternoon, Ji Ping's mother broke into the couple's home again without anyone noticing.
This was the first time Zheng Jingjing saw Ji Ping's mother since she was pushed down on her hands by her last time.
Because Ji Ping's mother refused to apologize to Zheng Jing, Ji Ping kept stopping them from meeting.
So even though it had been nearly four months since the last time they met, Ji Ping's mother's resentment towards Zheng Jing had not diminished at all.
Out of politeness, Zheng Jing called her, "Mom."
However, the first thing she said when she arrived at Zheng Yujing's house was to ask Zheng Yujing to turn down the film offer she had accepted and not to leave the capital, let alone go to Zhejiang Province.
Zheng Jing was so angry that she laughed at Ji Ping's mother's attitude.
"No, why?"
"Mom, just because I call you mom doesn't mean you are really my mom."
Zheng Jing rolled her eyes and said, "Even Ji Ping has no control over this matter. Do you think you can control it? It's unnecessary to say this."
Ji Ping's mother was so angry at Zheng Jing's words that her face turned pale. She pointed at her with a trembling finger: "You... you uneducated thing, I'm your mother-in-law, how dare you talk to me like that!"
"I'm talking to you like this." Zheng Jing was neither irritable nor annoyed. Her calm demeanor made Ji Ping's mother look like a puffer fish that was about to explode with anger.
"Mom, if you know what's good for you, just shut up now. I'll pretend you never came. Otherwise, when your son gets home from get off work, I'll complain to him."
Ji Ping felt guilty about his health problems, so he was very obedient to Zheng Jing at home.
Zheng Jing didn't even need to exaggerate or sow discord. She only needed to repeat her mother's original words, and Ji Ping would definitely rush to his parents' house tomorrow.
Ji Ping's mother was also very firm and said directly: "If you want to complain, go ahead. I am only concerned about you two young people and I am not afraid of you complaining."
Zheng Jing glanced at her curiously.
Ji Ping's mother snorted and laughed: "Zheng Jingjing, I'm not saying you're confused right now."
"You're thirty years old this year, and you're no longer a young girl. It's important to hurry up and have a baby while your health is still strong. Otherwise, in a few years, you'll be considered an elderly mother, and you won't be able to have children even if you want to."
"Besides, you're already thirty years old, what are you still struggling with? It's just acting, how many more years can you still do it?"
"You may seem to be enjoying the glory now that you can play the leading lady, but this is only temporary. An actress's blooming period is short. After you're thirty, there won't be many roles left for you. By then, you'll only be able to play the protagonist's mother-in-law in movies."
"So, what's the point of all this trouble?"
"Listen to me, turn down the movie, don't go to Zhejiang Province, stay in Beijing, and take advantage of this time before the New Year to have a child with Ji Ping. With a child, your marriage will be complete."
Seeing Zheng Jing's indifferent expression, Ji Ping's mother felt like she was talking to a cow.
She gritted her teeth in anger and shouted Zheng Jing's name loudly.
"Zheng Jing, I've said so much, did you hear me?"
Zheng Jing said, "Oh," and said, "I heard it."
"What do you mean? Speak instead." Ji Ping's mother asked her.
Zheng Jing said, "Not talking means I don't want to listen."
Ji Ping's mother was so angry that she fell backwards. She couldn't help but point at Zheng Jing's nose and said she was too stubborn.
He also said, "I only have one son, Ji Ping. I devote all my heart to you. How can I not harm you?"
Zheng Jing said, "That's not necessarily true."
Just because she won't harm Ji Ping doesn't mean she won't harm her.
Besides, can she have a child just because she wants to?
Even if the land is fertile, the key to whether it will flourish depends on the seeds.
If the seeds are not good, there is no way a single crop will grow even in fertile soil.
And it just so happens that Ji Ping's seeds will not germinate.
If she was really pregnant, that would be a big problem.
No one knows what Zheng Jing is thinking.
Ji Ping's mother kept nagging Zheng Jing for half an hour, but Zheng Jing didn't react at all except for getting more and more angry.
Not only did she not turn down the movie, she even packed up her things and left the next day.
He said he wanted to go to Zhejiang Province in advance to familiarize himself with the environment.
Ji Ping, exhausted after a busy day in the editing room, returned home to a dark, cold room that stunned him. When he saw the note left by Zheng Jing, he felt like the sky had fallen.
He grabbed the note left by Zheng Jingjing and went to his mother's house. He knocked on the door and started to scold his mother directly.
"Mom, didn't I tell you not to show up in front of Jing and upset her? Why did you run to my house without saying a word yesterday and say all sorts of nonsense to Jing?"
"What are you doing? You really don't want your son to die, right?"
After hearing Ji Ping's questioning, Ji Ping's mother felt very aggrieved.
"Son, it was because of you that I went to your house to look for Zheng Jing."
"Are you confused? The movie she took on takes her to Zhejiang Province, and it's going to take three months to shoot. What's going to happen to the family when she's not home during those three months? You're so busy that you can't even have a hot meal when you get home, and you still let her do this?"
"I think Zheng Jing has become more and more willful because she's been spoiled by you."
Ji Ping said helplessly, "Mom, this is Jing's career. I'll only be happy if she can get better and better. Why should I stop her?"
"Besides, I didn't marry Jing to cook for me. My workplace has a cafeteria, so I can eat there."
Seeing that Ji Ping was completely bewitched by Zheng Jing, Ji Ping's mother's face turned pale with anger.
But she couldn't argue with Ji Ping, and after a long while of anger, she finally uttered, "Yes, you didn't marry her to cook for you. But since she won't cook, you still have to have a child, right?"
"You're already in your thirties, and Zheng Jing is also thirty. You're not young anymore. If you don't have a child, you two will be gone."
