Chapter 30 Thirty Envy
Song Fenglin is a very executive person.
Since he said he wanted to build muscles, he definitely wouldn't just do it with his mouth. He immediately made a plan during his lunch break at work the next day.
After listing them, he felt a sense of accomplishment, as if all the muscles in his body had been frightened out by this momentum. He sent a copy to his wife.
Chen Yun was playing with her phone at the time, and replied quickly: [I'll fry steak for you tonight]
Song Fenglin: [No need to cook a special meal, my mother’s cooking is pretty light]
Chen Yun: [I want to eat too]
Song Fenglin: [OK]
He thought the one-word reply was a bit simple and didn’t want to end the conversation here, so he added: [What are you doing? 】
Chen Yun: [Reading novels]
She had to see the ending from the beginning to be satisfied, and asking people to keep switching software seemed a bit ungrateful.
Song Fenglin is very considerate: [Then you see]
Chen Yun felt at ease and didn't even respond to this sentence.
She was immersed in other people's love stories and was so moved that her eyes were red. When she heard someone calling her name, she looked up and a tear fell.
Why did he look so heartbroken? He Qingqing was shocked: "What's wrong?"
She went to Europe for her honeymoon right after she got married. After she came back, she worked overtime to make up for the missed hours. She had all her souvenirs delivered by couriers in the city.
Chen Yun hadn't seen her for more than a month. She wiped her face and said, "The heroine is dead."
He Qingqing pulled the chair opposite her and sat down: "You really have loved reading novels for more than ten years."
Chen Yun: "It's pretty good, I recommend it to you."
But forget it, He Qingqing: "I'm not interested in love now."
You're newlyweds, why are you in such a depressed mood?
Chen Yun: "Are you not having a happy honeymoon?"
He Qingqing: "It's pretty good. I also met Yunxi in the UK. Her daughter is so cute and looks like a doll."
The mixed-race girl is genetically advantaged, but Chen Yun thinks her daughter is the best in the world.
She said, "I saw the photos in your Moments, she's still the same as before, it seems like there hasn't been any change."
He Qingqing: "Yeah, I'm a mother of three children, but I still act like a college student."
Chen Yun: "Besides, I don't have to take care of the kids, so I definitely look younger."
When He Qingqing heard this, she said, "Why do I feel like you are praising yourself?"
She put her hands on the table and leaned her head forward a little closer: "By the way, your skin is really nice."
Chen Yun raised his chin: "The photons just shot."
When she was eighteen, she was naturally youthful and invincible. Her face was full of collagen and as smooth as a freshly peeled egg. But after she turned thirty, it seemed that all the functions of her body sensed the changes in age and they all underwent small changes.
She doesn't dare to go for medical aesthetics, but occasionally goes for laser treatments as a maintenance measure, and she doesn't hide it when she talks about it: "Isn't the effect very good?"
He Qingqing: "I thought it was some new skin care product."
She pinched her face as she spoke: "I haven't put on makeup recently, and I feel three degrees more haggard."
Chen Yun just realized that she didn't look like she was dressed for work today, and said in surprise: "I thought you came to me to slack off after meeting with a client."
The two of them had met like this more than once or twice before.
He Qingqing was wearing no makeup today, and even her clothes looked like the style she wore when taking out the trash.
She touched her belly a little embarrassedly: "Three months."
That means she got pregnant when she got married. Chen Yun was surprised and asked first: "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
He Qingqing: "Everything was fine before I found out, but once I checked, everything was wrong."
Chen Yun: "Psychological changes are also changes, after all, there is another person in my belly."
She said she felt the description of "multiple people" was too scary, and then continued: "Pregnancy is definitely different from normal times, so you should pay more attention to yourself."
He Qingqing: "My mother and my husband are like two generals, I have to pay attention."
There was a lot of complaints in her tone, so Chen Yun poured her a glass of water and said, "Go ahead, you can speak freely here."
He Qingqing: "No, I have to get some caffeine today."
She was like the waiter in the inn in the costume drama, facing the bar: "Xiaoxiao, I want a glass of iced Americano, put it on your boss's account, thank you~"
Chen Yun: "Doesn't your mother allow you to drink?"
He Qingqing pointed at her face and said, "I'm not even allowed to use liquid foundation."
She leaned back and said, "I thought getting married would make her calm down, but I didn't expect her desire to control me would become even worse."
Chen Yun: "Why don't you find a professional doctor to talk to her? Many of these things have no scientific basis."
He Qingqing: "I tried it, but she insisted that the doctor guarantee that he would be responsible if there was any problem. Who dared to promise her?"
There is no 100% safety in the world. When doctors face such patients, they naturally have to ensure their own professional safety first. They dare not make a definite statement.
When faced with stubborn parents, the best way is actually to reduce contact.
But everyone’s family situation is different, and sometimes a simple statement requires a lot of courage to execute.
Even with good friends, Chen Yun would only speak based on the other person's situation.
She said, "Fortunately, she is in her hometown. We just need to form a united front with your husband."
He Qingqing: "Unfortunately, she decided to take care of me herself."
At this point, she could only sigh: "I was a left-behind child when I was young, and she never took care of me for a single day."
Chen Yun: "Doesn't your mother have to take care of company matters?"
He Qingqing: "She said that the performance has not been good in the past two years, so she wants to sell the factory and retire. It's just right for her to come to Ningjiang to enjoy the company of her grandchildren."
Chen Yun seemed to be able to see the beginning of her pain: "Didn't your father object?"
He Qingqing: "It's not like you don't know about our family."
Her father has limited ability. Apart from treating everyone to meals outside, his contribution to the family is negative. Naturally, her mother has always been the head of the family.
Chen Yun thought about it and said sympathetically, "Why don't you find something for your mother to do so she won't keep staring at you."
He Qingqing: "She wasn't staring at me, she was staring at him."
She pointed at her belly as she spoke, and any trace of motherly love she had just shown disappeared, as if she was talking about strangers A, B, C, and D.
Chen Yun could instantly understand all her emotions, both expressed and unexpressed: "It's your last name, right?"
He Qingqing: "The eldest is with me, and the second is with my husband."
Her expression changed to a hint of sarcasm: "Originally, the eldest was going to be with him, but my mother didn't agree, saying that we paid more for the marriage, so we should go first."
Chen Yun smiled bitterly: "Why is it like attracting investment for naming rights?"
It seems that the people who suffer the most from this do not have the right to decide.
Who says it’s not true? He Qingqing: “My parents-in-law are quite dissatisfied with this, but my husband is fine.”
But then he changed the subject: “My parents-in-law fought for him anyway.”
After she finished telling the truth, Chen Yun could only say something to comfort her: "At least I don't have to face my parents-in-law every day."
He Qingqing: "They won't come, saying that it's his last name anyway."
Chen Yun knew many only-child girls, and double marriage was quite common, but this was the first family to clearly distinguish the relatives based on their surnames.
She said, “That’s a bit too much.”
He Qingqing: "My mom thinks it's a good idea. She won't be too close to that place in the future."
This also sounded strange. Although Chen Yun couldn't describe it, she knew intuitively that she shouldn't do this.
She pursed her lips, but couldn't squeeze out the words.
He Qingqing said with a smile: "It's okay, if you want to say that this marriage is not a good one, just say it directly."
Chen Yun was helpless: "You know it's still a knot."
He Qingqing: "I can't hold on any longer. This is the best solution I can get within my conditions."
And completely sincere: "So I really envy you, no matter your parents or your significant other."
She suddenly confessed, Chen Yun: "Is it because of this that you didn't pay much attention to me this year?"
He Qingqing was relieved: "Yes, I didn't dare to tell you that I wanted to get married quickly."
Those internal and external emotions cast a shadow on her envy, and she felt ashamed to speak of it.
Human nature is actually something that cannot withstand careful scrutiny.
However, friendship is even more magical than this, and it can eliminate everything into nothingness.
Chen Yun kicked her: "You're going crazy."
She used the Yanshan dialect, which was taught by He Qingqing to her roommates in college.
Several girls once laughed and played together, spending every day together during the only chance for them to be eighteen.
He Qingqing, who had a heart of stone and never shed tears even over major events in her life, inexplicably had tears in her eyes.
She said, "Is this considered a side effect of hormones?"
Chen Yun: "Cry, I will laugh at you."
What kind of person is this? He Qingqing: "I am a pregnant woman after all."
Now she was sticking out her belly with a clear conscience, fearing that others would not know.
Chen Yun: "Okay, okay, then tell me something that makes you happy."
He Qingqing was very interested: "Any gossip recently?"
Chen Yun: "After Yangyang was born, I actually wanted to divorce."
Breaking news!
He Qingqing was shocked: "Song Fenglin also offends you sometimes."
Just from these words, you can tell how unreasonable Chen Yun's idea is.
Everyone knew that Song Fenglin loved her. Although there was no visible list, she was probably ranked first among husbands in his social circle.
Chen Yun: "To be honest, today is the only day I dare to tell you."
After she laid the groundwork, He Qingqing became even more curious: "Why today?"
Chen Yun: "When I was pregnant, we actually didn't discuss the baby's surname. I naturally thought it would be Song, because we weren't talking about marrying into the wife's family. My parents felt that a guy who was willing to compromise on the surname either had some requirements for the woman to make up for it, or his conditions were worse. They really cared about my future and life, and didn't want to affect my marriage. When Xingxing was born, I was pushed out of the delivery room, and my parents happily announced that Song Fenglin took the initiative to suggest that the baby's surname be Chen. I was in so much pain at the time, but after hearing that, I felt less pain."
Everything seemed perfect up to this point, but things took a sharp turn for the worse afterwards.
Chen Yun: "Maybe it's because I really haven't experienced it before. I didn't realize something was wrong until after I gave birth to Yangyang. During the whole confinement period, my parents not only took care of me and the child, but also made almost a hundred calls every day to announce to relatives that they were having a child."
My parents were born in the countryside. As they were the only child, they could not hold their heads up high in their social circle. They even felt they did not have the confidence to fight for their homestead when it was occupied by others.
They gave their daughter a lot of love, but it also made her more devastated knowing that she might not be loved unconditionally.
Chen Yun: "To be cruel, I have been considered excellent since I was a child, but the sense of honor I brought to them is not as much as that of finding a son-in-law who allows my child to have my last name."
Her excellence served as a foil, and even in her own family she became a foil for another person. Her greatest achievement was to "expand" the Chen family.
These four words, when they came out, defeated all the good education she had received.
At that time, Chen Yun looked around and found no place to vent her emotions. After all, the whole world was congratulating her on finding a good man, but she needed someone to bear all her emotions.
Who else could it be except Song Fenglin?
Chen Yun: "I think if he hadn't caused trouble, I wouldn't have suffered."
This made anyone sound very ungrateful. He Qingqing thought that her former self really couldn't understand it: "I can only tell you today."
Then he looked sad: "But I'm not happy at all after hearing it."
Chen Yun: "You don't envy me now, do you?"
He Qingqing: "I hope you can always have something that I envy."
Even if there are things she can't get, she doesn't want others to lose them.
What? What? So corny.
Chen Yun rubbed her hands: "My goose bumps are gone."
You're still reading romance novels, but you haven't learned any of their sweet words.
He Qingqing was annoyed: "Take your head off."
Chen Yun: "Pregnant women should pay attention to prenatal education."
He Qingqing started to curse with her mouth, and you could tell from her eyebrows that she was not convinced.
Chen Yun was not willing to be outdone, and the two of them performed pantomime, baring their teeth and waving their claws.
