Marriage in crisis

Wei Qingchuan didn't say much, and whispered to me, "Shh! Go to sleep! I'll take you back to your room to rest. You need to sleep more. You were disobedient tonight! This is a big taboo!"

I also knew that I was being willful, so I didn't struggle. I leaned in his arms, and he held me as I staggered down the upstairs corridor and returned to my room. I simply washed up and fell asleep.

With her hands still on her belly, she whispered, "Goodnight, babies! Mommy will never do this again!"

Wei Qingchuan laughed softly and turned off the lights.

The next day my mother really stayed, mainly to take care of Sanbao.

The others followed me to the island, and I didn’t even know when they left.

Because I slept until 11 o'clock in the morning, but was still woken up by hunger.

When I got up and went downstairs in a daze to find something to eat, I found that everyone had left.

The house became even quieter now.

Sister Li was talking to my mother and Qiu Meiying while cooking. She smiled when she saw me coming downstairs.

My mother quickly got up and looked at me. "My daughter, you are really good at sleeping. Did you stay up late again last night? You went to bed late, didn't you? This is not good. If you keep doing this, I really can't explain to your grandma. Before she left, she told me to keep an eye on you and not to stay up late!"

"I know, it was just a little late and I read something!" I lied with my eyes wide open.

"I said, why are you sleeping so long?" She looked at me with a hint of reproach and asked, "Hurry up and tell me, what do you want to eat?"

"Let me take a look myself!" I was sure that there must be something ready on the stove.

Sure enough, there were many kinds of food on the stove. I first filled a small bowl of millet porridge and took a few small buns. The small buns were the kind that you could eat one at a time, very cute and small.

Sister Li picked up a small dish for me, which was sour beans mixed with red oil. The red and green colors made me hungry.

Actually, I don’t have any appetite at all. I can eat anything now. I’m really hungry!

I tried a bite of sour beans, and they were indeed sour, fresh and crisp, and paired with a mouthful of porridge, they were simply delicious. I looked so happy and intoxicated by the beauty.

While we were eating, Zhou Haizhen came down from upstairs. I was stunned, "You didn't go to the island with me?"

She smiled awkwardly and came over to sit in front of me. "How can I follow you? I made grandma angry last night! I didn't even dare to go!"

I glanced at her and said softly, "Do you also know that grandma is angry?"

She was a little annoyed, looked at me guiltily, and said in defense, "Nini, tell me honestly, can I be blamed for everything that happened last night?"

I didn't hesitate and said directly, "It's all your fault!"

She was stunned and looked at me, but she didn't have the confidence to refute. She just moved the corners of her mouth, but finally didn't say anything.

I ate a small bun, then looked at her and said, "First of all, you shouldn't have yelled right away! You should have listened to what Shen Kuo said. You should have even asked him what was going on! You yelled without asking anything. How would you feel if I let you go?"

She didn't respond.

Okay, let me continue.

"Secondly, you shouldn't have gone crazy without any explanation and left with the child. You knew very well that such a large family would never let you go. You can imagine the consequences of doing this. Who are you leaving for? Besides, where can you go? Back to your old house, which has been uninhabited for a long time. Can the child live there?"

"I...I was just impulsive! It's so frustrating!" Zhou Haizhen retorted in a low voice.

I snorted and glared at her.

What else can I do? I can only take care of both parties at the same time. I have to be punished together!

I have to explain the reason to her, otherwise if Shen Kuo tells her, there will be another quarrel.

"Besides, who will feel comfortable with you losing your temper like this? Especially the elderly! Haizhen, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but the trick you used is the most vulgar and lowest-level petty-bourgeois behavior." I know what I said was a bit harsh.

It doesn't hurt at all, and she doesn't know what's wrong?

Sure enough, Zhou Haizhen suddenly looked at me, a little aggrieved.

I quickly maintained my composure and said firmly, "You don't have to look at me like that. What I said may be rough but it's the truth."

I put down my chopsticks, looked at her seriously, and said to her with emotion and reason, "Haizhen, I treat you as my own sister. From the perspective of the Wei family and the Shen family, we are even closer relatives. We are relatives who will never be separated in this life."

Zhou Haizhen's eyes suddenly filled with tears after hearing this.
