"Eat it." Jiang Jingzhou saw that his mother was only thinking about her two grandchildren and Zhaoyue, so he and his father were relegated to the "cold palace".
"If you're coming back for dinner in the future, you'll have to let me know in advance so I can prepare accordingly."
After Hua Xiuyun finished speaking, she took the bowls and chopsticks her daughter-in-law had finished eating to wash them. Lin Zhaoyue was truly a woman who never lifted a finger at home.
They went back inside, and Jiang Jingzhou immediately handed his salary to Lin Zhaoyue, saying, "I received quite a bit of allowance this month."
[Ahhh, this is so sweet! Captain Jiang is the epitome of a good man; he doesn't forget to prepare a surprise for his wife after getting paid.]
I wish I could meet a man like Jiang Jingzhou, but unfortunately, there aren't any like that in real life.
[That's right, my husband is always making me angry, he's a mama's boy.]
[...]
There are downsides to bullet comments too, like spoilers that ruin the surprise.
Lin Zhaoyue noticed that there was something clearly in Jiang Jingzhou's left shirt pocket. She slightly tugged at the corner of her lips, pretending not to notice, and reached out to hug his waist. "Are you tired?"
"Not tired." Jiang Jingzhou's thin lips curved into a smile. "Do you know what day it is in a couple of days?"
Lin Zhaoyue really didn't know that.
Is it their wedding anniversary? No! Their wedding anniversary has long passed.
"You're so busy these days that you've even forgotten your own birthday."
Jiang Jingzhou spoke with a hint of helplessness, pulling a box containing gold jewelry from his pocket. "Happy birthday~"
It's a pair of gold earrings.
It's a very simple design, which is what Lin Zhaoyue likes.
"I forgot." Lin Zhaoyue was very happy to receive the gift. She grabbed Jiang Jingzhou's clothes and stood on tiptoe to kiss his cheek. "It's very beautiful."
Jiang Jingzhou's eyes darkened. "If you like it, then so be it."
"I love it. I love anything you give me." Lin Zhaoyue smiled brightly. "Shouldn't I reward you tonight?"
"What reward?" Jiang Jingzhou asked knowingly.
Lin Zhaoyue: "..." The reward is to go to sleep right away!
——
The next day, Lin Zhaoyue put on the gold earrings. She was doing research and it was best to avoid wearing such jewelry. She didn't need to stay in the research lab for a while, so she would wear them for now and take them off if they didn't feel right later.
Lin Zhaoyue is taking the children back to her parents' home today since she doesn't have to go to school.
Her dad said last time that he hadn't seen the children for a long time and missed them terribly.
Hua Xiuyun had nothing to do at home, so she went back to the Lin family home with her mother and two children.
Lin Zhaoyue is probably the first person to bring her mother-in-law to her parents' home.
Lin Erwu and Xiaobao still lived on the second floor. The two men just made do with each other.
It doesn't matter if the blanket is a little cold or a little hot; it's fine as long as it's comfortable.
The house was a mess, with things scattered everywhere. Lin Erwu quickly tidied up a place to sit and said, "Mother-in-law, please don't mind the mess. I've been busy with other things and haven't had time to tidy up yet."
"It's alright, much cleaner than the one at my house."
Hua Xiuyun was telling the truth.
Jiang Guofu is even dirtier.
On the way back, Hua Xiuyun couldn't help but mention her idea to her daughter-in-law, "Your father is still so young, he can't be without someone to take care of him. If you don't have any objections, how about we find him another one?"
What was Ms. Hua thinking? Unbelievable! She told someone's own daughter to ask her father to find another wife?!
Lin Erwu is still young, and he's quite outstanding, so there's nothing wrong with him finding someone else, right?
[Finding a new wife would only bring trouble; life isn't going well for us now.]
Life is long, and being alone is definitely not as good as having a companion.
Lin Zhaoyue had no objection to this matter.
As long as her dad is willing.
"Mom, are you saying you have a suitable candidate?"
"No, if you think it's suitable, I'll keep an eye out for it for you later."
"I'll ask my dad what he thinks next time," Lin Zhaoyue said with a light laugh. "If he agrees, I have no objection."
“I think your dad and your brother don’t know how to manage a household. This family can’t be without a woman,” Hua Xiuyun said thoughtfully. “Of course, we have to find a good, kind-hearted woman for your dad.”
When it comes to matters of the heart, it's all about fate; when fate brings you together, nothing can stop it.
Lin Zhaoyue's baby girl slept soundly in her arms. The names of the two children were decided relatively late, and they were always called by their nicknames "Da Guai" and "Er Guai" at home.
"Zhaoyue, I also heard that your father and your uncle are planning to start a business again? Are they having financial problems right now?"
Lin Zhaoyue knew without asking who had told her mother-in-law. She hadn't even decided whether to borrow money from her mother-in-law when Jiang Jingzhou blurted it all out.
"Yes, the initial investment is not a small amount, and my dad and his team are trying to figure it out."
"Hey! I'm right here in front of you, what other ideas do you have?" Hua Xiuyun said readily, "Just tell me how much money your dad and the others need, whether it's a loan or an investment."
"Mom, I know you have money, and Dad won't easily agree to lend you money."
Lin Zhaoyue raised her hand and patted the back of her hand reassuringly, "They will think of a way."
"Why can't you lend me money? We're family, we don't stand on ceremony!"
"Mom, it's different."
Lin Zhaoyue didn't know what to say, but she knew her mother-in-law's intentions.
"Alright, you decide what to do."
Hua Xiuyun didn't say anything more. Anyway, she had already told her daughter-in-law what to do, and she could think about it herself.
You can borrow it anytime you need it.
Lin Zhaoyue thought her mother-in-law was just saying it to introduce her father to potential partners, but she didn't expect her to actually put so much effort into it.
Two days later, a suitable match came along. Hua Xiuyun wanted to introduce her to her younger cousin, who wasn't a blood relative. This cousin had divorced years ago and hadn't been interested in finding someone new, mainly because there weren't any suitable men available. The good men weren't divorced, and the less good ones weren't good enough for her, so she had remained single all these years.
“I think they are a good match. They are both good-looking, and my sister has a good temper. She got divorced because her husband hit her. I can arrange for them to meet.”
Hua Xiuyun said, "You probably haven't had a chance to mention it to your dad yet, right? If you haven't, that's okay. I'll go see him tomorrow and see what he thinks. If he's not particularly opposed, then this matter will be easy to handle."
"Mom, so fast?"
Lin Zhaoyue was stunned.
“My dad never told me he was going to find someone. If you suddenly bring it up with him, he might not want to meet her.”
"Regardless of whether it's a man or a woman, if they don't want to meet or get married, it just means they haven't met the right person yet. If they do meet the right person, they will consider taking things further."
Hua Xiuyun said earnestly, "You don't need to worry about this matter."
"Okay." Lin Zhaoyue nodded. Her mother-in-law was so beautiful, a great beauty when she was young, her cousin from her maternal family must be just as stunning.
Thinking this, Lin Zhaoyue suddenly felt a little uneasy. Her father would probably agree, right?
Lin Erwu was initially reluctant to meet her, as he was preoccupied with starting his own business, but he was moved by Hua Xiuyun's words.
