Chapter 616 - 599: Those Who Are Near Zhu Are Red
Zong Shimeng heard that her younger son had a fever and her daughter was having nightmares, so she wanted to go back. But she was stopped by Lu Jiaxin, who told her to go back a week later.
Lu Jiaxin said, "Call Weikai and Yinyin, say you’re feeling down and are at Bali Island for a holiday, and will go back in a week."
"What if the kids ask me why I’m feeling down?"
Lu Jiaxin said, "Just come up with an excuse, let them know it’s your brother-in-law’s fault. By the way, this time your in-laws are quite good, they didn’t just blindly favor their son."
It was because they forced Hu Zhifeng to stay home and look after the children that he realized how hard it was for Sister Shimeng. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have given in so soon.
Zong Shimeng said, "My father-in-law always believed that a harmonious family leads to prosperity. My mother-in-law is stubborn and controlling, but she really dislikes that Fox Spirit outside. It was my mother-in-law who forced that woman to have an abortion."
Lu Jiaxin felt it was already quite good, at least better than those mothers-in-law who treat their daughters-in-law as enemies and even think it’s fine for their sons to have illegitimate children outside.
In the evening, Zong Shimeng called home. The maid answered the phone and was happy to hear her voice, "Madam, it’s the eldest madam, the eldest madam’s call."
Mrs. Hu, hearing it was her daughter-in-law, hurried to answer, "Shimeng, where are you now?"
Zong Shimeng said, "I’m with Jiaxin in Bali Island. Mommy, I was really mad that day, just wanted to get out and clear my head."
Mrs. Hu expressed understanding, "Don’t be angry, your father and I have already scolded him. We’ve made him stay home to take care of the kids these few days, so now he knows how hard it is for you."
