Zhou Aihui nodded.
Their faces showed helplessness.
"That guy in the yard is my boyfriend's older brother, and he's also the county magistrate of our county."
Master's wife, tell me, isn't this all too coincidental?
They came to our Shangwan Village today to see how the mushrooms and vegetables are growing.
Of course, the most important thing was going to the cornfield.
I ran into my parents.
Guess what?
She immediately hugged my dad and cried!
She was crying with tears streaming down her face.
Everyone who followed was dumbfounded!
Our whole family was stunned.
Master's wife, think about it, everything's fine here, we're working right now!
They say a high-ranking leader has arrived.
Since you're here, go ahead and look!
It won't cost you anything.
But why did you suddenly hug my dad and start crying in front of so many people?
Master's wife, you didn't see what happened back then.
What a powerful leader he was, so imposing, with a whole bunch of people following behind him, all bowing and scraping before him.
He just looked at my parents and didn't move.
I keep looking at my dad, then I keep looking at my mom!
Then she started crying, but thankfully she didn't scream.
It's just that I'm shedding tears.
That really fell!
It pattered and pattered, like rain.
Oh, Master's wife, you don't know, it's so creepy to see a grown man crying like that!
After a long time, I finally found out that my dad, with his cautious and meticulous nature, had actually saved a member of the underground Communist Party back in the day!
All these years, despite his love of boasting, he has never mentioned this or shown off about it.
What's even more outrageous is that, you know what? My mom also saved both of them.
Isn't that an exaggeration!
I still can't process it!
My dad also said that Mingzhao is his younger brother.
You're saying they don't even have the same surname, how can they be brothers!
"Oh, Master's wife, do you know how modern my future in-laws are!"
Zhou Aihui paused at this point.
He stared intently at Su Ruobai, hoping for some cooperation.
Su Ruobai wasn't going to spoil the fun and immediately pressed for more details.
"What's so modern about this? Tell me! And let me remind you, you and Xu Mingzhao are already married, so what future mother-in-law!"
If Xu Mingzhao heard this, he'd see the way he was eyeing his wife, practically wanting to stuff her in his pocket.
I'm going to have to get anxious with Zhou Aihui again.
However, the story of Xu Mingzhao going from an orphan to having parents is quite legendary.
Zhou Aihui slapped her thigh, looking like a role model.
"Okay, okay, we're married now, is my mother-in-law alright?"
Zhou Aihui conceded defeat.
Then we continued talking: "My mother-in-law said that she and my father-in-law are from the new era, a new marriage, and that they are in love with each other, unlike the feudal arranged marriages of the past."
Her parents didn't ask for a bride price or a dowry; everything was earned by the young couple themselves.
In that case, their children can't all take the man's surname!
"Hey, guess what?"
Zhou Aihui slapped her thigh again.
His face was full of excitement.
Su Ruobai, sensing the situation, said, "Hurry up and tell me, I have children at home!"
Zhou Aihui nodded.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you quickly. My father-in-law actually agreed."
He even said that because he couldn't have children, he was spared the pain of pregnancy, so any children he had would take his mother-in-law's surname!
My mother-in-law actually agrees.
No dowry, no bride price, a new wedding, a new style.
Since the babies are all born to women and take the women's surnames, there's definitely no problem!
They think it's quite simple, but my mother-in-law and father-in-law disagree!
Finally, this is clearly a marriage proposal, so why has it turned into a live-in son-in-law move-in?
Finally, the wedding was arranged by both sets of parents.
The bride price and dowry have been given, but there's only one request: the child must take the father's surname, Meng!
And guess what happened next?
Zhou Aihui stopped again!
Su Ruobai chuckled: "You're really into keeping people in suspense!"
What else could happen? I already guessed it.
One's surname is Meng, and the other's surname is Xu.
Just as she had guessed.
Zhou Aihui slapped her thigh again: "Their first child was surnamed Meng, and the second child took my mother-in-law's surname!"
Xu Mingzhao glanced at Zhou Aihui's thighs.
He was wearing only a pair of trousers made of fine cotton.
I don't feel any pain right now.
Because this guy is really excited right now, we'll see when this energy passes.
It's time to decide whether it hurts or not.
Those thighs must be swollen!
However, Su Ruobai wondered, isn't this a good thing?
Why is Zhou Aihui still standing here in a daze?
That's what she asked.
"Then why do you seem to have something on your mind?"
That statement is quite powerful.
The excited expression on Zhou Aihui's face vanished in an instant.
He became preoccupied again.
"Sigh!" He let out a long sigh.
Zhou Aihui, who seemed to have become a completely different person just now, finally spoke up to explain.
“Master’s wife, my mother said I might have to go to Beijing tomorrow.”
I'm just worried that my in-laws won't like me.
My brother-in-law told me that they are officials in Beijing.
My parents are just ordinary people, and so am I. What if my in-laws don't approve of me?
I'm pregnant!
What should I do if he doesn't even like the children and wants me to divorce him? What will happen to the children?
"Waaah, Master's wife, I'm scared!"
As she spoke, Zhou Aihui began to cry.
She didn't dare cry loudly, because there were people outside.
Su Ruobai was amused; she had just been laughing at others!
