Liu He held back for a while, but in the end she didn't say anything, thinking of saving face for them. But she didn't expect her son to hold on to it, and asked her again in a very serious tone.
"……without"
He Zhangcheng remained serious. "That's good. I thought Mom's eyes were twitching."
Ye Man had just come out of the room when He Zhangcheng saw everything clearly. His mother came over and rolled her eyes at her for no reason.
He knew their relationship was bad, and he usually tried to mediate carefully. This time it was clearly his mother's fault, so he wouldn't take her side.
Liu He clenched her fists, feeling that her son was captivated. Ma Mingyue dared not speak and silently went to make breakfast. Her cousin was too serious. As for Ye Man, she looked at Xiaoting thoughtfully.
When Lu Yang got home at noon, he saw Ye Man had come again. The three of them had moved chairs and were sitting under a tree. There was a swing on the tree, and Xiaoting, Suisui, and the other two children were lining up to play. The three adults were whispering to each other. He quietly picked some vegetables and started cooking.
They were probably talking about He Zhangcheng, silently praying for his subordinate while also feeling uneasy.
"Your mother-in-law's face is so dark?"
"This is definitely going to be blacklisted; it was her son who spoke."
Ye Man still felt like laughing when she thought about what happened that morning. Her mother-in-law's face twitched several times, but she held back because it was her son. If it were her, they would definitely have started arguing again.
Zhao Qin slapped Ye Man's thigh, "So if you want her to leave, it's up to Xiao He. No matter how much we daughters-in-law say, it's not as effective as a word from her son."
Ye Man suddenly thought of giving it a try. It couldn't be that Liu He would come over every time she had free time. Xiaoting would be unhappy every time she came. She was always running around these days. If He Zhangcheng could take the initiative to ask his mother not to come.
He Zhangcheng knew they were at Battalion Commander Lu's house again, so he came to pick them up right at lunchtime. Xiaoting was talking to her mother when she saw him coming and nodded to her mother.
He Zhangcheng was unaware that he was about to fall into a sugar-coated trap specially prepared for him by the mother and daughter.
Lunch is ready.
Liu He sulked at home all morning. Ma Mingyue's legs hurt so much that she didn't dare to go downstairs and had to stay at home with her. She thought that her aunt was embarrassed because her cousin had said something to her face that morning, so she didn't dare to talk to her.
As soon as He Zhangcheng got home at noon, his mother called him into her room. Liu He coughed a few times before bracing herself.
“Son, you need to take care of your own body. The training is so heavy, and she’s still… in broad daylight.”
He Zhangcheng didn't react at first, but then he realized what his mother was saying. His face darkened instantly, and embarrassment and anger welled up inside him.
"Mom, this is our privacy, you—"
"What privacy? Mom is doing this for your own good. She only cares about herself and doesn't even think about your health, son..."
He Zhangcheng gritted his teeth. Nothing had happened between them that morning. He was applying medicine to Ye Man, so how could his mother know? Could it be that she leaned in and listened? The thought of his mother listening to their movements through the door without their knowledge made his face grow darker and darker.
"Mom, we have our own lives, please don't do this."
"What's wrong with me? You're my son. I gave birth to you and raised you from a baby to adulthood. What can't I say or hear?"
Liu He was also angry. Who was she doing all this for?
The mother and daughter parted on bad terms. Poor Ma Mingyue, despite her aching legs, forced herself to prepare lunch. Her cousin-in-law disappeared as soon as lunchtime arrived, and she suddenly felt like she had traveled a long way to be someone else's maid.
He Zhangcheng simply said he was going to call someone and left. Liu He then poured out her grievances to Ma Mingyue.
