Chapter 279 - 274: On the Way Back to My Mother’s House (Second Update)
The two of them stepped out, and there was Zhou Yunmei in the yard, her eyes scanning Fang Pingying like X-rays, as if she was trying to find evidence that they were up to something again.
Fang Pingying was truly too lazy to bother with her and, after calling out to her, went to the kitchen to wash up.
Zhou Yunmei saw her leave and pulled Luo Zhiyong aside, whispering, "If it’s nothing important, try not to stay together. It’s been so long since your marriage, can’t you bear to be apart?"
Luo Zhiyong was utterly annoyed and growled at Zhou Yunmei with a dark face, "Am I committing adultery here or what? Why are you watching me so closely?"
Zhou Yunmei couldn’t help laughing at Luo Zhiyong’s words, glaring at him, "Go wash your face and brush your teeth, come out quickly to eat."
On the first day of the Chinese New Year, there wasn’t much to do since it was too cold, so the whole family huddled at home, chatting idly, which was actually quite peaceful. After returning home for the New Year, it was a rare day when the family didn’t fight.
On the second day, things got busy, starting the traditional visits to relatives.
Both Fang Pingying and her husband, as well as Fang Xiu and her husband, had to go back to Li Yuchun’s house for New Year’s greetings, as it was the custom here for daughters and sons-in-law to visit their mother’s home on the second day.
But just as Fang Pingying was about to leave, they ran into Zhang Jianguo carrying gifts. Zhou Yunmei, thinking about discussing the wedding arrangements for Cui Lan, quickly stopped them, "Xiu’er, why don’t you go back and notify your family that you won’t visit this morning? You guys can all go together in the afternoon. If you want, you can stay overnight."
Fang Xiu was indifferent; she was at her parents’ house every day.
She nodded and went back to Li Yuchun’s house by herself, without asking whether Fang Pingying would return or not.
Ever since she became sisters with Xu He, her disapproval of Fang Pingying had grown to the point where she didn’t even want to talk to her much.
