Chapter 495: Want to Stay
Zhulan looked at the sky, then at Mrs. Dong's worried expression, "Mother-in-law should go and rest first. We'll have time to chat after she's rested."
Dong Lin really couldn't stand it anymore. The weather was a bit hot and she seemed to have heat stroke. She stood up with the help of her mother-in-law and said, "Then I'll go and rest first. Sorry for the rudeness."
"My mother-in-law and I are not friends, please take a rest first. I will ask someone to call a doctor over."
Dong Lin thanked her and said, "Thank you for your help, mother-in-law."
Zhulan saw Dong Lin out the door. As for the Dong family's grandson, Chang Lian would naturally take care of him.
The doctor came to see Dong Lin and confirmed that he had indeed suffered from heatstroke. The weather had been really bad in the past few days. The doctor prescribed some medicine, and Dong Lin felt much better after taking it.
When Zhulan came to see her, Dong Lin had already fallen asleep. Dong was wiping her tears. Zhulan patted Dong Lin and said, "Let your mother have a good rest today. Don't wake her up at night. Ask the kitchen to make some porridge so that she won't be hungry when she wakes up in the middle of the night."
Mrs. Dong looked at her mother distressedly. It was because of her that her mother had to suffer so much. Her mother didn't even look at her sister. Her mother cared about her the most. "Mother, I'll remember this."
Because Dong Lin was coming today, Zhulan asked the kitchen to prepare a lot of delicious dishes, but it was a pity that Dong Lin couldn't eat them.
In the evening, Zhou Shuren came back to meet the eldest grandson of the Dong family brought by Chang Lian, and then they went back to the backyard to have dinner together.
After dinner, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren returned to the house. Zhulan washed her hands and said with emotion, "I still have a deep impression of the eldest grandson of the Dong family. When we first met, no matter how well he concealed himself, he was somewhat resistant to the Zhou family. Today, he is so flattering that I can hardly recognize him."
Zhou Shuren waited for Zhulan to finish washing, and then he continued, "Not only has the status changed, but also because Jiang Ming is different from me. The last thing the capital lacks is officials. Jiang Ming has not made any great contributions, and it will be difficult for him to get promoted unless he has an opportunity. I am different."
Zhulan sent Mrs. Song to look after Dong Lin today, so Zhou Shuren talked more. Otherwise, on weekdays, the couple would only talk before going to bed.
Zhulan changed her clothes and put on her underwear while teasing her son and said, "From what I heard from Dong Liao, it seems like he wants to stay?"
Zhou Shuren saw his son looking at him. He had been tricked by this kid many times, so he didn't dare to move, fearing that he would cry again. Fortunately, he looked at him and then turned his head away. Zhou Shuren then said, "It must be this kid's own idea."
"I think so too. A smart person like Dong Lin would not dare to do anything stupid."
Zhou Shuren lay down. He had been sitting all day. He felt that the happiest thing every day was to sleep with his wife in his arms. His biggest wish was to sleep until he woke up naturally. He hissed and couldn't help rubbing his waist. He must retire early!
Zhulan motioned Zhou Shuren to lie down and started to massage him. The current set of massage techniques was learned by Zhulan from Mrs. Song. What Zhulan knew before was too general, and Mrs. Song was a professional.
Zhou Shuren fell asleep comfortably on his stomach. Zhulan untied Zhou Shuren's hair and pressed his head again. Hearing an "ah or oh", Zhulan let go of her hand and turned her head to look at her son who was lying there obediently.
The little guy was looking at her with big eyes. Zhulan felt so soft in her heart, "Mom will coax you to sleep."
The little boy yawned delicately, his hands clenched into fists. Zhulan patted him gently, and soon the child fell asleep.
Zhulan sat up carefully and burst out laughing. She had coaxed a big and a small kid to sleep today!
The next day, at breakfast, Zhulan met Dong Lin, who looked much better. "Mother-in-law, I was rude yesterday."
Zhulan asked, "Is my mother-in-law feeling better?"
Dong Lin said very embarrassedly, "It's much better now."
Zhulan said, "Let's have breakfast first and talk later?"
Otherwise I would just watch them chatting and wouldn’t dare to pick up my chopsticks!
Dong Linshi, "Okay."
After dinner, when Zhou Shuren left, the families dispersed. Zhulan and Dong Linshi sat down to chat. Dong Linshi asked, "Why didn't I see Changzhong?"
Zhulan explained: "This kid loves to sleep, and he hasn't woken up yet!"
Dong Lin didn't really want to watch it, she just wanted to start a conversation, "I heard from Chuchu that Changzhong is a child who loves his mother very much. Your mother-in-law is so lucky."
She didn't suffer much from giving birth at such an old age, and it seems she's recovered well. I hope my mother-in-law will be very lucky in the future!
Zhulan's eyes were filled with warmth, "He is indeed a child who loves his mother."
Dong Lin looked at Yang and felt emotional. She didn't know what Yang thought when she first saw her. She only knew that she was afraid of saying something. Even though she heard from the lady that Yang was very kind to her, she didn't dare to be careless. "Sorry for disturbing her these days."
"What my mother-in-law said is outrageous. This is also your daughter's family."
Dong Lin felt relieved after hearing this, and once again admired her old man's vision. Even if there were annual gifts exchanged, it would not be as reassuring as seeing it with one's own eyes.
Zhulan and Dong Lin talked about things in their hometown. Dong Lin still felt a little uncomfortable, so she forced herself to sit for a while and then went back to rest.
In the third room, Dong Lin drank the medicine and lay down to rest. Her grandson came in with an unhappy look on his face. Dong Lin was worried. Could it be that the Zhou family was making things difficult for her grandson? "What happened?"
Dong Liao sat on the chair, "Grandma, my uncle won't help me."
Dong Lin was a little confused, "What do you want your uncle to help you with?"
Dong Liao lowered his head, then quickly raised it and said eagerly, "Grandma, I want to stay in Jinzhou. I also want to stay like Ming Qing."
He knew Zhou Mingqing and knew that Zhou Mingqing stayed, so he had become interested. However, he had tried it out at dinner last night, but today his uncle told him that it was impossible. How could he be willing to accept that?
Dong Lin understood. She said that the eldest son should have come with her, but the eldest son was sick, so she had no choice but to let the eldest grandson come. It turned out that it was all planned. Dong Lin's face was not good to begin with, and now it was even uglier, "You even planned for grandma?"
Dong Liao hurriedly said, "Grandma, I didn't plan anything. I didn't."
Dong Lin waved his hand tiredly, "You go out first."
It seems that she can't stay in the Zhou family for too long. She wants to stay until the fourth son of the Zhou family gets married, and wants to spend more time with the daughter-in-law. Dong Lin is a little sad. Her son has a lot of thoughts, and her daughter-in-law has even more. She and her father want to surpass them while they are still alive.
When Mrs. Dong came in, she saw her mother lying there staring at the ceiling. She was startled and asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Dong Lin came back to her senses and saw that the lady looked normal. She knew that her son-in-law had not told her. But according to Dong Liao's personality, he would not care about the lady's pregnancy. If he was really pushed, he would definitely beg her. Dong Lin told her what happened and finally said, "Your brothers will ask you for help in the future. Please don't make things difficult for your son-in-law."
Mrs. Dong was sad. She knew her mother and knew that she would definitely leave early. She felt sorry for her mother, but as a married woman, she couldn't judge her brothers. She coaxed her eyes and said, "Mother, I'm sorry for what happened to you."
Zhulan is holding an invitation in her hand. It is an invitation to Li, inviting Li alone. Looking at the signature, it’s the Xu family!
