Chapter 1209: Madam 3 and Madam Zhou's Shout
Zhou's father didn't say anything. Zhou's mother glanced at her husband and walked towards Zhou Haoyu.
"Haoyu, Qiqi is not suitable for you. Mom said it this morning." Mrs. Zhou sighed. Who would want their son to bow down to his wife in everything?
What's wrong with the Zhou family? Why should they be controlled by the banker?
But the child is very opinionated. My son was a strong-willed person when he was young, and now that he has grown up, he is even more unwilling to listen to any advice.
"Mom, if you want to persuade me to divorce, don't say anything." Zhou Haoyu fell on the sofa, covering his face with his hands, looking tired.
Mother Zhou sighed, massaging her aching head. She called her daughter-in-law directly, but no one answered after two attempts. She was furious. Her husband was in such a state, and she was sleeping like a dead pig, acting like nothing had happened. How could she be so careless? What was the point of marrying a wife like that?
The call was connected on the third try, and Zhou's mother couldn't help but start scolding as soon as she answered.
"Qiqi, can you be more careful? Haoyu rushed back from D City in the middle of the night, thinking about you. He was drunk but still insisted on seeing you. Now that you are a wife, can you change your temper? Yes, your Zhuang family is great, and our Zhou family can't compare, but after all, besides being the Zhuang family's daughter, you are also the wife of our Haoyu. Can you think more about your husband?"
She slept like a dead pig and didn't answer the phone until she called several times. Now she even gave her mother-in-law the cold shoulder, right?
Well, it turns out that the daughter-in-law doesn’t sleep in the middle of the night, just waiting for the mother-in-law to call and then answer the call as soon as possible.
Mrs. Zhou got furious when she didn't hear any response from the other party after she finished speaking.
"Qiqi, are you asleep again? Haoyu is at home now, hurry home! Haoyu was on a business trip in D City, but because he was thinking about you, he drank so much and came back alone. Your husband is doing this for you, and you're still sleeping? You don't do anything during the day, just sleep all day. Is this how your family raised you? If you don't care about your parents-in-law, doesn't your husband feel sorry for you?"
Mrs. Zhou is really defeated by this daughter-in-law. Why did she marry such a carefree daughter-in-law?
Mother Zhou pounded her chest while waiting for her daughter-in-law's response.
The other party finally spoke, but the voice was not that of the daughter-in-law, but that of the mother-in-law. Mrs. Zhou was so frightened that her face turned pale.
Huo Yan pressed his brows and whispered, "Haoyu's mother, my daughter Qiqi is young and naive. I will talk to her later. But it's so late now, let's go over tomorrow."
Your child is a human being, but my child is not a human being?
Huo Yan has become much calmer over the years. If he were younger, it would be strange if he didn't confront his mother-in-law.
"...It's Qiqi's mother. It's a little late now, but Haoyu is in a very uncomfortable situation and he must see Qiqi. Qiqi's mother, please give the phone to Qiqi and I will talk to her." Mrs. Zhou was weak and her confidence was hanging in the air as she spoke.
I never thought that it would be my mother-in-law who picked me up. What happened? Did my daughter-in-law go back to her parents' home again?
Look, this is a daughter-in-law who married into the Zhou family, but she runs back to her parents' home every day. What's going on? If others knew about this, they might think that the Zhou family couldn't afford to support her, so she went back to her parents' home every day to eat and drink for free. Is this deliberately trying to make people point fingers at the Zhou family?
Huo Yan tried her best to ignore Mrs. Zhou's nonchalant tone and insisted, "Haoyu's mother, the child is resting at this time. He hasn't slept well these days and has been tossing and turning for most of the night. Let's talk about the most urgent things tomorrow. Haoyu has already gone home. We are relieved to have you there. If there is nothing else, I will hang up. Don't disturb the child's sleep."
You ignore my existence, why should I be polite to you? You said it yourself, my Zhuang family is amazing, your Zhou family can't compare. If that's the case, then just do your duty. Your child is a treasure, and there's no reason for my child to be just a weed.
Huo Yan hung up the phone directly. In fact, she was still impulsive. If she was willing to give in, she would not let her daughter be sad in her husband's family.
She regretted hanging up the phone and pressed her brows where the veins were throbbing. She would mess things up whenever her husband was not around. She hadn't dealt with people for so long that her ability to communicate with others had indeed deteriorated.
"Mom, who's calling? Is it Haoyu?" Seventeen woke up. Of course, he was sensitive to the ringtone of his cell phone. It rang several times in a row like a death warrant, and he could be woken up no matter how soundly he slept.
"You called the wrong person. Go to sleep." Huo Yan lay down and kicked the quilt up for his daughter.
It's still a bit cold in the middle of the night, and it's easy to catch a cold if you don't cover yourself with something.
Not long after he lay down, the phone rang again. Huo Yan sat up, hung up the phone and prepared to turn it off.
"Mom..." Seventeen also sat up and reached out to grab it.
"Ow—"
Seventeen grabbed her messy hair and said, "Mom, how could you say it was a wrong number and even hung up on my mother-in-law... Oh my, I'm really impressed..."
God knows how petty her mother-in-law is. If she doesn't do anything right, she will remember it for the rest of her life. Just like the last time she went to Chen Palace with her sister-in-law, her mother-in-law still remembers it. She says that she is heartless and doesn't know how to feel sorry for others. She doesn't treat their family as family.
"It's the middle of the night. No matter how serious the matter is, you can't call me now." Huo Yan said in a deep voice, "Go to sleep. Mom will take care of everything for you."
"Mom, can you help me live my whole life?" Seventeen said helplessly.
Her mother-in-law is her husband's biological mother, and she doesn't want to pay attention to her, but is it okay to ignore her?
In fact, she is not a generous and kind woman. It is fine for her to call a strange woman "Mom" and be nice to her, but in addition to that, she is required to be nice to her from the bottom of her heart. Isn't this embarrassing?
But marriage is not a joke. You can act coquettishly and willfully with your husband, but can you do the same with your mother-in-law?
Seventeen was a little annoyed at her mother's meddling. Her mother didn't have a mother-in-law, so of course she couldn't understand her difficulties. She had been hiding out for two years to avoid the mother-in-law relationship. Now that her husband was so adamant and insisted on moving back to his parents' house, if she didn't start building a good relationship with her mother-in-law right now and instead went against her, how could she ever have a comfortable life in the future?
Huo Yan pressed his twitching eyebrow. He couldn't tell why, but his eyelids had been twitching all night.
Of course I feel sorry for my own daughter. Being a parent is sometimes really hard.
Seventeen got out of bed and called her mother-in-law back.
Huo Yan looked at his daughter helplessly. It was really difficult for her. The little princess who used to be loved and pampered by everyone in the family now had to learn to accept this helplessness and reality and had to compromise.
Seventeen hung up the phone and started to get dressed, saying, "Mom, I have to go back."
