Reborn in the Seventies: Pampered Wife, Owning some Farmland

Chapter 253: Chapter 253: People from Different Families Don’t Cross the Same Doorstep _1
 

You should have been here to care for your daughter-in-law during her postpartum period. It’s not acceptable that you haven’t even visited your grandchildren once.

Meng Yunhan could only console Yun Men, “As long as your husband treats you well, that’s enough. People are hard to predict.”

Yun Men agreed with a nod, “I think the same way. As long as Zhang Jiang treats me well, it’s fine. It might be hard now, but as the kids grow, things will get easier.”

Meng Yunhan wanted to stop Yun Men’s line of thought: Raising children will not always be easier, especially when they must go to school, and need school fees. It’s like a heavy burden.

But if she starts her own business, she could lend them a hand one day. She could also try her hand at farming or fruit-growing.

In a few years, growing a business will come down to courage. The timid might starve, while those daring may survive.

As long as you have the audacity to fight and to take risks.

“Yes.”

“My elder brother married again. His new wife is a widow, and she is pregnant. I suppose it’s because of her that my mother-in-law hasn’t dared to come home. I heard that this new sister-in-law is pretty much like the previous one. I really don’t know what my brother-in-law sees in her.”

A phrase popped up in Meng Yunhan’s mind: Birds of a feather flock together.

Every wife he has married is of the same sort. It seems that Zhang Jiang’s elder brother is really a glutton for punishment. He’s looking for trouble himself, and nobody else can stop him. You would have thought he might marry someone mild-mannered, alas….

“She will soon regret it,” Yun Men is still anticipating a juicy spectacle, which makes Meng Yunhan quite amused and exasperated.

“Xiaomen, you can’t talk like this in front of Zhang Jiang. After all, they are his parents who gave birth to and nurtured him. We, as their children, should respect them. This kind of talk will put Zhang Jiang in a difficult position.”

Meng Yunhan knew it very well. If it hadn’t been for Zhang Jiang’s nephew pushing Xiaomen, Zhang Jiang might have kept silent. He would have continued to watch his parents favor his elder brother and nephew.

In his eyes, he did not receive his parents’ love. He wanted their approval and fell deeply into the moral obligation of filial piety. He did not realize that he had fallen into blind filial piety.

That shove suddenly awakened him.

Yun Men sticks her tongue out, “I was just venting to you. I would never complain about his parents in front of Zhang Jiang. He sees the truth himself.”

The man has seen it clearly. Now he knows that the only people who truly care about him are his immediate family of four.

As soon as dinner was ready, Zhang Jiang was back.

Seeing Meng Yunhan, he was surprised and greeted, “Third-sister.”

“Go tell father it’s time for dinner,” Yun Men told Zhang Jiang.

Zhang Jiang knew who his wife meant by ‘father’.

“All right, I’m on it.” After he finished speaking, he headed out.

Meng Yunhan quickly went to check on Little Huzi, who hadn’t been fed since the morning.

Back in the room, she saw Little Huzi and Little Zhuzi playing on the bed.

Mother Yun was watching from the side, keeping a close eye to avoid any accidents.

“Little Huzi, are you hungry? Mommy will feed you.”

Little Huzi got excited the moment he saw Meng Yunhan. He reached out to be picked up by her and stopped playing with Little Zhuzi.

Meng Yunhan picked up Little Huzi, changed his diaper, and then nursed him.

By the time Father Yun came in, Little Huzi had already fallen asleep.

He looked at Little Huzi and sighed at the sight of his face, which looked more and more like Ahao when he was young. How time flies, thirty years have gone by in the blink of an eye.

They were getting old. So old.
