"That would be for the best. Senior Yu has already ruined the rest of her life for her child. If she encounters a scumbag, then even God won't be so lenient," Zhang Hongmei said with a sigh.
Regardless of what outsiders thought, the pregnant woman in the Zhang family was enjoying a very comfortable life.
The four of them would stroll around the yard every morning, feeling very fortunate.
"Sister-in-law, I think our life is too happy. I have also heard about the lives of other people's daughters-in-law. Although the mother-in-law is no longer the sole authority as before, the daughter-in-law still has to be humble and subservient in front of her mother-in-law."
"The four of us are so lucky. Everyone in the family spoils us. Especially Mom, I feel like even my own mother is like that," Tang Feiyan sighed.
"Yes?!" Zou Haiyin also felt the same way. Gu Yaozu treated her well, and her parents-in-law were exceptionally reasonable.
Yang Lijun thanked God a thousand times in her heart for giving her the opportunity to be reborn and to experience being cared for and pampered. This was the kind of life a happy woman should have.
"Sister-in-law, we're almost four months along, but look, Haiyin's belly is about to catch up with ours."
"She's carrying twins. They must be bigger than our bellies."
The four women, sisters-in-law, got along like real sisters. They weren't petty people to begin with, and they all made a point of being good friends with each other. As a result, they grew closer and closer.
It was the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the Little New Year. Liu Qiang, Xiang Dong, and Xiang Bei came to pay their respects for the New Year. The three of them planned to go to their parents' house to celebrate the New Year the next day.
"You three must be careful on the road. Liu Qiang, I'm leaving Xiang Bei to you."
"Auntie, don't worry, how could I possibly make a mistake?"
"We can't be careless. You need to know that human traffickers have been particularly rampant in the last six months."
"Liu Qiang, I've prepared a lot of New Year's goods. Can you take them with you? Or should I have someone deliver them to you?"
"Auntie, we're all grown up now, can't we handle this little thing?"
“Okay, you can stay at my place tonight. I’ll have someone take you there tomorrow. I’ll call your dad in advance so he can bring more.”
That evening, Gu Chuanming felt happy looking at the three young men. He had watched these three boys grow up, and their character was truly impeccable.
Xiangbei was still young, so he got along very well with his four sisters-in-law.
"Xiang Bei, it's not right for you to go down the mountain ahead of time and leave your brothers on the mountain," Tang Feiyan teased him.
"Second sister-in-law, what do you mean by this? I'm not the kind of person who enjoys myself alone. I'm a very loyal person."
The people in the living room burst into laughter upon hearing what the boy had said.
"Sisters, don't laugh, I'm telling the truth."
"Okay, okay, you really are. Really." Zou Haiyin replied perfunctorily.
Xiang Bei was anxious and looked at his sisters-in-law with a wronged expression.
Yang Lijun couldn't bear it. "You lot, don't bully Xiang Bei. Our brother-in-law is the most considerate and loyal."
Liu Xiangbei was immediately healed, and Liu Qiang and Xiang Dong couldn't bear to look at their adorable and silly younger brother.
"You three really need to be careful on the road. Although your kung fu skills are all excellent, I'm afraid you might have some dirty tricks up your sleeve."
Gu Chuanming gave them instructions. They now had a general understanding of the criminal gang and their methods.
"Grandpa, don't worry."
"I'm worried. Don't be a hero. If you do discover anything, use your brains and don't act alone."
Their families told them that Liu Qiang and the other two were carefully raised and that they were much more mature than other children their age.
After dinner, the men went to the study and called Liu Qiang in as well.
The next day, after seeing Liu Qiang and his two brothers off, Zhang Hongmei led her daughters-in-law into the study.
Now we just need to look at the financial reports of each company.
With the help of her daughters-in-law, Zhang Hongmei felt happy.
Only the two elderly people in their family are still free; they have almost completely withdrawn from the world. Now, the affairs of the military have been handed over to the brothers Gu Yaozu and Zhang Ruifeng.
They were busy until the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, when Xiao Wu and his two brothers were picked up by Xiao Li and brought back home that evening.
The two elderly people were even happier now. The whole family was together. This time next year, they'll have five more children. When the fifth child gets married and has children of their own, that will truly be a happy family.
Gu Chuanming is happy every day now. Sometimes he wonders if God is compensating him for the loneliness of the first half of his life by making him so happy in the second half.
Xiao Wu and his two friends came back to please the elders. Laughter never stopped filling the house.
It's been 1988 already. Zhang Hongmei is forty years old now, and Zhang Shouyi is fifty.
"You're fifty years old, how come you still have so much energy?" Afterwards, Zhang Hongmei rolled her eyes and scolded Zhang Shouyi in an annoyed manner.
"Wife, what are you saying? I'm just in good health."
"Get out of the way."
On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Xiao Wu and the other two returned to the mountain.
The three of them also learned that they would be accompanying their mother to the United States in April, and they were somewhat looking forward to it.
Pengfei came over on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month. He had just returned from his second uncle's place yesterday.
He came to see Zhang Hongmei today and said, "Auntie, my second aunt introduced me to a girl, and we've met, but I feel we don't have anything in common."
"Pengfei, are you still thinking about your ex-girlfriend?"
Pengfei thought for a while and said, "Auntie, I don't know either, but I subconsciously compare her to other girls."
"Pengfei, what kind of girl is in your heart?"
"Just cheerful and optimistic."
"But she abandoned you, which means she's not worth your time. The fact that you can't let go shows you haven't figured things out yet."
Comparing other girls to that girl is right, but it's a disgrace to those other girls.
"aunt!"
"What? Am I wrong? What were those girls like when you were interning at your Aunt Wang Ying's place before your vacation?"
"They are all quite talented."
"Oh? You sensed that?"
"Well, I was too embarrassed to interact with other girls."
"Pengfei, you're not ready to find a girlfriend right now."
"Don't bring up your grandparents again." Zhang Hongmei was a little angry. Her personality was just like her father's—indecisive.
"aunt."
"Alright, I don't want to hear your excuses anymore. Just think it through yourself. It's fine if you truly love that girl, and it's also fine if you haven't gotten over your sadness."
But don't use the excuse of caring for the elderly to act so carelessly. The girl doesn't even know she's being approached for a date. If she did find out, how would she feel? That's disrespectful to them.
This matter is off for now. Think it through before you speak.
