After dinner, Zhulan had already seen the list of New Year gifts written by the two maids. The two maids were also smart and found out last year's gift list.
Zhou Shuren took the gift list from behind Zhulan and said, "It's getting late, go to bed!"
Zhulan: "... No, I don't want to sleep."
This is true. Since the baby was in her belly for more than four months, she has not been able to rest and sleep as much as before.
Zhou Shuren put away the gift list and said, "Then there's no need to look at it. Are you not confident in your teaching of these two girls?"
Zhulan had already taken a quick look and had nothing to worry about. "Okay, okay, I won't look at it anymore. I just happen to have something to tell you."
Zhou Shuren pulled the candle over and said, "You say."
"Look, it's almost the New Year, and Zhao's belly is getting bigger. It's not good for the child to go back and forth like this. Let's let them go back after the New Year. I feel sorry for the child, not for the couple."
Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "I thought it was something else. Just make the decision for me."
"If I hadn't asked Steward Ding and found out that the road was indeed blocked by snow, I would have thought it was a deliberate postponement. Fortunately, I wasn't disappointed."
Zhou Shuren felt that the matter of winning over was basically over, and said to Zhulan: "I also have something to tell you."
Zhu Lan glared, "Master Zhou, I've discovered that you've been hiding a lot of things from me recently!"
Zhou Shuren, "..."
It has been a long time since he was pinched, and the flesh on his waist can no longer withstand being pinched. It really hurts.
Zhulan was angry. "I know you are worried about me and the child, but you are worried about me and I don't know anything. I will feel worse if I hear about it later. Do you think I am weak? Am I a person who can't stand it? We agreed to share the burden. Why do you hide everything from me?"
After saying that, Zhulan started crying. She was pregnant and tried her best to relax so that both herself and her child would be well. She also wanted to grow old with Zhou Shuren!
It would have been fine if Zhou Shuren had kept it from her once, but he kept it from her again. She knew it was very dangerous, and that was why he should tell her because it was dangerous. Otherwise she would feel heartbroken, especially heartbroken.
Zhou Shuren's hands were numb, and for a moment he didn't know what expression to use when watching Zhulan crying. Recalling carefully, Zhulan had never cried because of him. The last time she cried was when Wu Dong passed away.
This time it was because of him. Zhou Shuren reacted and wiped Zhulan's tears in panic, "It's all my fault. You hit me, don't hold it back."
Zhulan sniffed, she tried to control herself from crying, her mentality was so good, she kept suppressing it and didn't think too much, well, she was a little overwhelmed, "I told you to keep it a secret from me, woo woo, if you didn't keep it from me, I could still help you find a way if something really happened, why are you carrying it all by yourself, woo woo."
After Zhou Shuren panicked, he felt so soft inside that he hugged Zhulan, who had gained a lot of weight. When Zhulan's crying subsided, he coaxed her and said, "I won't hide anything from you in the future. I'll keep my word."
Zhulan opened her red eyes and asked, "Really?"
Zhou Shuren kissed Zhulan's eyes and said, "Yeah."
Zhulan wanted to cry again. She was really scared. She was really scared that she and the child would be left here. Zhou Shuren was scare her, and so was she. Woohoo.
Zhou Shuren saw that she was crying again, and her heart tightened. She was pregnant. "Okay, okay, don't cry."
Zhulan just wanted to cry, her nose twitched, and she vented her emotions for a long time.
Zhou Shuren kept holding her, not moved, for fear of touching Zhulan's belly. Suddenly, Zhou Shuren smiled, and the little guy in Zhulan's belly moved, as if kicking him. This was to vent his mother's anger!
Zhou Shuren lowered his head and looked at Zhulan who was crying herself to sleep, and patted her so that she could sleep more soundly.
The next morning, Zhulan slept very comfortably. These days, she had been weighed down by something, and even if she didn't think about it, she felt uncomfortable sleeping. She cried yesterday, and now she felt relaxed.
Then Zhulan got up with swollen eyes. She knew she had cried so hard, "I won't go out to eat today."
As a mother-in-law, she really can't afford to lose face.
Zhou Shuren helped Zhulan put on her clothes, "If you don't go out, they will think you are sick and they will come to see you."
Zhulan touched her eyes and said, "I'll roll it with an egg."
Zhou Shuren shook his head. "It's no use. You cried for a long time yesterday."
Zhulan was deflated and had a headache. If she went out to eat, the whole family would start making wild guesses. If she didn't go out to eat, people would make a fuss.
In the end, Zhulan went to have breakfast. Let her think whatever she wants. Anyway, she and Zhou Shuren are doing well.
Zhulan coaxed her eyes, and Zhou's sons and daughters-in-law didn't dare to say a word, for fear that the nice parents-in-law were having a quarrel, and it would be inappropriate for them, the younger generation, to interrupt.
After the meal, Zhulan’s eyes were less swollen and she didn’t need to read today.
Li was worried about her mother-in-law and decided to ask. She came over and said, "Mom, why are you crying?"
Zhulan had already thought of the answer. If she didn't give an accurate answer, her son and daughter-in-law in her imagination would go astray.
Zhulan sighed, and Li's heart skipped a beat. It couldn't be serious, could it be that they had really had a fight? But looking at her father-in-law's appearance, it didn't seem like it. That's right, her father-in-law had a cold face all the time, and she couldn't see anything in his eyes.
Zhulan was touched. Li was still the best. But she also wanted to tease Li, "I had a quarrel with your father-in-law. Who do you support?"
Li was stunned. They really had a quarrel. She couldn't help but raise her voice, "A quarrel? How could Dad do this? Mom is pregnant!"
With a look of anger on his face, his father thought, "My mother-in-law is so nice, how could she have the heart to quarrel with her? She and the head of the household never quarrel!"
Zhulan burst out laughing, but soon she couldn't laugh anymore because her sons and daughters-in-law were all outside the door, and they could hear Li's roar. Zhulan, "..."
No, that's not what she wants!
Xue Han came in first, "Mom, did Dad really quarrel with you?"
This shouldn’t be the case. Dad cares so much about Mom!
Boss Zhou was very worried. It was not easy for his mother to get pregnant at such an old age. Could something big have happened
Zhou Laoer's mind was full of random thoughts, "Mom, did Dad secretly have a mistress?"
As soon as Zhou Laoer opened his mouth, everyone looked at him.
Zhulan was speechless. How could she guess this? Zhulan narrowed her eyes and said, "You don't have this idea, do you?"
Zhou Laoer was dumbfounded. He guessed this because he had seen it before. "Mom, I don't have one. Dad said that I am not allowed to take concubines."
Zhu Lan said quietly, "It is precisely because you are not allowed to take concubines that you have to keep mistresses!"
Zhou Laoer wanted to cry, "Mom, I really didn't, I swear."
Zhulan looked at Zhao's dumbfounded expression. Well, there was still a pregnant woman, so she would not scare Zhou Laoer. "Laoer, don't worry, I will tell your father what you said."
Zhou Laoer, “… … ..”
No, mother, there is really no need. He knows he guessed wrong. You must not tell dad about it. If dad hears it, he will give him away for adoption!
Zhulan coughed and said, "Well, what I said just now was just to tease Li."
