Chapter 102: Getting Older

Zhou Shuren touched his grandson's skinny face and said, "I have to be considerate. Jiang Sheng is the son-in-law and he has to live with his daughter for the rest of his life."

They both felt guilty about the eldest lady, and had to consider everything carefully, otherwise they would be sorry to the two original people.

On the way back, because the two children were too young, the ox cart was not as fast as when they came, and it took almost an hour to get home. It was already dark, and Zhulan and her husband carried the children all the way. Their arms were numb and they had no feeling.

Xuemei and her husband had been waiting in the hall. When they heard the noise, they ran out immediately. Xuemei waited for her second brother to park the ox cart and hurried forward, "Mom, did the child bother you?"

Zhulan hissed and felt her arms no longer belonged to her. "Both children are very well behaved. They have been sleeping all the way and haven't woken up yet. Come up and wrap the children tightly and carry them down."

Xuemei helped her husband get on the ox cart by the hand. She cooled down a bit before moving forward. Seeing that her parents were afraid to move their arms, she realized that they were numb. She cried, "I am an unfilial daughter. My parents still worry about me even at my age."

Zhulan, "........"

She no longer complains about her children being unfilial, but she still can't accept it as she's getting older. There are many people of her age who have just gotten married in modern times!

Xuemei saw her mother was frozen, thinking that her mother had worked hard, so she hurriedly took the girl over, carefully wrapped her up, covered her little face, and handed her to her husband. She turned around and took her son. The little guy was sleeping soundly. Xuemei tried hard not to cry, but her parents felt sorry for her. When her husband came back and took their son away, Xuemei stepped forward and said, "Mom, let me massage your arm."

Zhou Shuren frowned, "You can go down."

We can’t waste this rare opportunity to get close to her. Well, the eldest lady just came back and her eyes still need practice.

When Xuemei saw her father shaking his hands and pulling her mother's arm to massage her, she finally believed what her eldest sister-in-law said. Her father only had her mother in his eyes, and his children all stood aside. Her face turned red. Even though she had a good relationship with her husband, they had never been so close. She envied her parents' relationship.

Zhulan's arms were numb and painful, but she didn't dare to say anything because her voice would be misunderstood. She could only look at Zhou Shuren with tears in her eyes, "Be gentle!"

Zhou Shuren felt as if his heart was being pinched and itchy when he was being stared at, and his ears couldn't help but turn red.

Zhulan felt much better after a while, and didn't dare to stay any longer, "Hurry up and go down!"

Several children are waiting here, and she can't handle it no matter how thick-skinned she is.

Zhou Shuren thought it was a pity and got off the ox cart. He entered the living room and saw his sons were all there. The table had been set and they were waiting for them to come back for dinner!

Zhou Lao Da learned what had happened from the second son. He felt sorry for his eldest sister and brother-in-law, and even more sorry for his elderly parents who were tired. "Dad and mom, please sit down and have a rest."

Zhou Shuren was indeed tired. He sat in the main seat and looked at his sons. He was satisfied that he cared about his parents. "You guys sit down too."

Zhulan was worried about the child, so she asked the eldest son to take the quilt down from the ox cart, then went to the room where Rongchuan lived, pushed the door open, drew aside the curtain, and walked in. The heat wave brushed her face, and she saw Xuemei and her husband changing clothes for the child. Zhulan said that she had always felt like she had forgotten something, but when she saw her son-in-law, she remembered that she had forgotten to take the clothes for her daughter and son-in-law, and was only thinking about the child at that time.

Xuemei carefully covered the child with a blanket and said, "Mom, you've been tired all day, I'm here, don't worry."

Zhulan looked around the bedroom. Rongchuan had moved out without taking his suitcases. He left behind his suitcases and the kang table. Two thick quilts were spread on the kang, and the fireplace was also burning hot. She withdrew her gaze and said, "I was so worried about the child that I forgot about your two changes of clothes. There is no shortage of fabrics at home. Bring out two sets of clothes tomorrow so you and Jiang Sheng can swap them."

Xuemei didn't know what happened in the Jiang family, but she could guess that it was not happy. She didn't want to go home to get it. With her parents in charge, she felt at ease. Her sister-in-law, who used to stab her, didn't do that anymore. She felt more at ease. "Thank you, mother."

In fact, she was not short of fabric. She was not stupid. She used the dowry in her hands to make clothes for her parents-in-law during festivals, and the rest was used for her own family. Except for the poor food, the clothes she wore were those of the most respectable people in the village. Now her parents knew her situation, and she really needed their help. She just had to accept what her parents gave her. The more her parents loved her, the more she would stand up straight in front of her husband.

Jiang Sheng bowed sincerely and said, "Thank you, mother-in-law, for taking care of me."
