Chapter 289: Chapter 205 Good Mother-in-law VS Good Husband_2

Actually, if someone were bullying Mom and Aunt Zhu happened upon it, she would definitely rush over to protect her. Likewise, if someone were bullying her, Mom would do the same.

But when it comes to matters involving the two of us, it’s inevitable that we but heads. We’ve interacted in this way for decades and have grown accustomed to it.

The truth is, Mom understands that she didn’t come to our house to whisk you away. With so many people in the living room, she just wanted everyone to know that the daughter-in-law the Zhou family married, although without prominent background, is an outstanding girl, and the Zhou family thinks highly of her as well.

That’s the kind of person she is, always with good intentions, yet somehow managing to irritate me to the point of clenching my teeth. Upon reflection, even though I understood her intentions, I still didn’t feel gratitude for her.

Maybe she feels the same way towards Mom. Chuxia, I’m telling you this because, in the future, if Aunt Zhu treats you well, just accept it openly. Don’t avoid her because you’re worried about my feelings.

She genuinely likes you and truly wants the best for you. I also hope that over here, you have more people who love and care for you. Ah, don’t you think I’m being somewhat contradictory in what I’m saying, hehe..."

Chuxia hugged Lin Yanqiu’s arm and nuzzled it, "Mom, you truly care for me. To be your daughter-in-law, I’m very fortunate, really."

Lin Yanqiu smiled and stroked her head: "Chuxia, get used to thinking of this place as your own home, just like you do in Dalin Village, a home where you can relax."

"Mom, I will strive to integrate into this family in the shortest time possible."

This answer was sincere, and Lin Yanqiu’s smile grew even wider. The look in her eyes softened when she gazed at Chuxia. To think about it, this little daughter-in-law was several years younger than her own late daughter, practically still a child. She reflected on the hardship of marrying into the Zhou family at such a young age and softly comforted Chuxia, "Laosan is just that stubborn, but deep down, he’s got a good heart. Once he’s committed to someone, he won’t change for a lifetime."

"Mom, I know." Chuxia forced a smile. It seemed like she had said this phrase many times already.

"Thump, thump, thump..."

"It must be Laosan." Lin Yanqiu shook her head and said, "Come in."

The door opened, and sure enough, Zhou Mikang walked in.

Lin Yanqiu looked at him with a smile: "What, worried that I’m tripping up your wife? So impatient, you can’t even wait a little while?"

Zhou Mikang’s expression didn’t change as he stepped forward and took Chuxia by the hand, his eyes fixed on Lin Yanqiu: "Mom, it’s time for dinner, what are you still dawdling here for?"

Seeing her son so affectionate towards his wife filled Lin Yanqiu with both pride and a twinge of sourness. When had he ever been so kind to her?

But upon further thought, her son hadn’t even been this good to Ye Meiru. Perhaps it was time to let go of her reservations, which had just been stirred up by Zhu Xinqin.

Considering her son’s character, why would he demean himself by faking a marriage just to deceive her? If her son knew she harbored such suspicions about him, they would surely have another fallout. At that moment, Lin Yanqiu regretted not advising Chuxia earlier not to mention this to her son.

Most of the guests had already left, leaving behind a few relatives especially close to the Zhou family. Zeng Meili stepped forward and pulled Chuxia away from Zhou Mikang: "Third sister-in-law, I hardly got a chance to talk to you at yesterday’s banquet, and today when you arrived, you were monopolized by Second Aunt. If I don’t seize the moment now, I’ll miss out again."

"Take good care of your third sister-in-law." Zhou Mikang glared at her, his gaze softening when he looked at Chuxia, "We are all family here. Eat whatever you like, and after you’re finished, go upstairs to take a nap."

Zhou Yueping couldn’t help but laugh, "Hard to believe, but Laosan really dotes on his wife."

"Little aunt, you really are slow on the uptake, we all noticed it a long time ago." Zhou Xiangping said with a smile.

Worried that Chuxia might feel uncomfortable, Lin Yanqiu quickly said, "You all should reflect on how you felt when you first got married before you open your mouths."

"Little aunt, see, with the third sister-in-law here, our status has clearly dropped a notch." Zhou Xiangping said cheerfully, moving forward to sit Chuxia down at the table between her and Zeng Meili, "Third sister-in-law, we’re just joking, trying to help you relax a little."

Chuxia smiled back at them, "I know." She then proceeded to greet everyone present one by one.

Jiang Xue sitting diagonally opposite smiled at her, "Third sister-in-law, my grandma has been talking about you all morning, saying that Third Brother is so lucky to marry such a lovely wife."
