Chapter 68 - 65 The Leg Injury Has Healed (Second Update)
Aunt Xi’s words had barely finished when Fang Pingying’s face turned slightly red; after all, she was still a maiden, and it was somewhat embarrassing to hear such matters discussed so openly.
But Zhou Yunmei didn’t seem to feel there was anything to be embarrassed about, she chuckled softly, "You should talk about these things with your son in advance. Young people, once their temper flares up, they pay no attention to such matters, not caring whether their body feels unwell or not."
As Zhou Yunmei spoke, she gave Fang Pingying a look that almost went unnoticed, recalling the time she knocked on the wall, certain that Fang Pingying was then doing that deed with Luo Zhiyong.
Fang Pingying, unaware of what had happened that day in Zhou Yunmei’s room, thought Zhou Yunmei’s words were about Luo Zhiming and his wife, and so she remained silent.
Aunt Xi, not knowing of these in-law squabbles, let out an extremely helpless sigh after hearing Zhou Yunmei’s words, "I did say so, but do the young people nowadays listen to us? My daughter-in-law at home acts more like a mother-in-law than me, ordering around all day, and there’s my Fang’er being bossed around by her at home like a servant."
Hearing this, Zhou Yunmei instantly gave Fang Pingying a look and exclaimed, "That won’t do; if you keep indulging her like this, you’ll end up with no authority at home in the future."
"It’s because she’s pregnant, and it’s her first child. I’ve been longing for a grandchild for so many years; I’m just accommodating her for the time being," Aunt Xi sighed.
Because Fang’er’s family was poor, not even owning a decent red-brick house, and her elder brother was also of no good standing, many girls in the village did not wish to marry into their family. Only after Aunt Xi and her husband went to great lengths to renovate their house did they manage to bring this daughter-in-law home.
"Look at what you’re saying, as if being pregnant is such a big deal. Which woman doesn’t bear children? Back in our days, people would have several; not like these daughters-in-law today, bearing one or two as if they’ve made some grand contribution to the household," Zhou Yunmei said, casting a provocative glance at Fang Pingying.
"When my daughter-in-law gets pregnant, I won’t be as patient to serve them as you are. Things will stay as they are, and no one will be at their beck and call."
