Because she knew that with Zhong Zhiyang's personality, if he knew he was going to be a father, he would not turn a blind eye.

But one has to find a limit when it comes to playing hard to get, and tonight she had no choice but to compromise.

She had wanted to hook him for a while.

"Can you please say something auspicious?" Jiang Guifang was so angry that she wanted to hit her, but she held back when she thought of her pregnancy. "Your money is mine. I raised you up, and you feel so bad when I spend some of your money? You ungrateful bastard!"

Jiang Nianyue was so angry, "Okay, this is the last time, just consider it as the capital I give you. If you spend this money again, I will never give you a penny again!"

Jiang Guifang snorted in annoyance, "Okay, okay, okay, I get it, you're so stingy!"

Jiang Nianyue shook her head helplessly. She stroked her stomach and said, "Eat, I'm hungry."

Around nine o'clock, Zhong Zhiyang returned home.

Li Guixiang dragged him into the kitchen and took the rice left for him out of the pot. "It's still hot, eat it quickly."

Zhong Zhiyang's eyes reddened, "Grandma..."

"Don't be a crying man, man. Eat first. We can talk after dinner."

The grandfather and grandson sat together around the fire. Li Guixiang watched him eat voraciously, and felt a surge of emotion in her heart. "Eat slowly, no one will snatch the food from you."

Zhong Zhiyang's mouth was full, "Wait... wait, if my brother sees us..."

"What's wrong with him seeing you eating? Does he forbid you to eat? It's not like he cooked it." Li Guixiang touched his head and said earnestly, "Your eldest brother may have a sharp tongue but a soft heart. He also wants the best for you. You did something wrong, so he deserves to criticize you. You must not bear a grudge against him in your heart."

"I know."

Zhong Zhiyang was well aware of his family's good intentions.

Even if his eldest brother exposed him in public for using his father as a shield, he only had respect for his eldest brother in his heart and would not hate him for it.

"So what are your plans for the future?"

Li Guixiang pressed on: "Did Jiang Nianyue make any requests?"

Zhong Zhiyang swallowed his food and said slowly, "She won't give the child to us. I will give them enough living expenses every month."

"How much?" Li Guixiang said as she rummaged through her pockets.

Zhong Zhiyang held his grandmother's hand and said, "The child is mine, so I will pay for it. Grandma, you have done enough for me. Let me take care of these things myself."

Li Guixiang felt a lump in her throat. In her eyes, no matter how old Zhong Zhiyang was, he was still her most beloved grandson.

She still took out a hundred yuan and stuffed it in. "That's your child. Please accept this money as a small token of my gratitude as a grandmother."

"grandmother……"

Zhong Zhiyang couldn't persuade her, so he had to accept it, "Consider this money as a loan from you. When I make a lot of money, I will definitely pay you back!" He gave all the money to Jiang Nianyue, and his hands were completely empty.

The hundred yuan given by his grandmother solved his urgent problem.

Li Guixiang did not expect him to become rich and powerful, but only hoped that he could find a stable job and have no worries about food and clothing in his life.

I used to hope that he could get married and start a family soon.

Now that this has happened, she doesn't even dare to mention getting married.

···

Lin Ziqiu heard some noise downstairs and glanced at Zhong Heyang who came in from outside, "Zhong Zhiyang is back?"

"Yeah." Zhong Heyang nodded, "You don't have to worry, he doesn't dare to marry Jiang Nianyue."

Lin Ziqiu was surprised and hooked her finger at him.

The man walked up to her obediently and sat beside her.

Lin Ziqiu climbed onto Zhong Heyang's shoulders with both hands, deliberately lifted his chin, and smiled, "So you got angry with him because of me?"

Zhong Heyang met her sparkling eyes and couldn't help but kiss her forehead. His voice was gentle and soft, "It's not just because of him. If you don't want to live at home, I can apply for housing from the army and we can move out."

Lin Ziqiu's heart trembled slightly, and he was a little excited to move out. He was used to living alone.

Ever since I was reborn, I have been faced with the challenge of getting married and living with my husband's family. Now, due to a rainstorm, my parents' and husband's families have to live together.

If she could live alone, she would have a lot of peace and quiet, which would be very helpful in preparing for the exam.

But her excitement didn't last too long. She suddenly thought of something and quickly suppressed the anticipation in her heart.

"Don't bother with that. Xuexi will be getting married soon. If we move out again, what will happen to grandma?"

Zhong Heyang said bluntly: "Grandma will go to Xueyuan's place next month to help take care of the children."

"Then there's no need to move out." Lin Ziqiu continued, "Besides, my grandpa and his family are also living at home. The reconstruction of the house probably won't be completed so quickly, so I guess we'll have to live here for a long time."

Zhong Heyang patiently persuaded her, as he really wanted to spend some time alone with his wife.

"Grandpa and his family can stay as long as they want. Uncle Tian is at home taking care of him, so it's okay for us to move out."

Lin Ziqiu shook his head firmly, "That won't work. Even though we're just staying here temporarily, we can't all go out and leave no one at home."

Zhong Heyang grasped the key point, and his clear and smooth voice rose at the end, "Our family?"

It was obvious that Lin Ziqiu had already regarded himself as a member of the Zhong family, and these words touched Zhong Heyang's heart.

Regardless of whether there was any world of their own, all the dissatisfaction in her heart towards Zhong Zhiyang's little deeds was swept away at this moment.

Only then did Lin Ziqiu realize what his words just meant.

She blushed shyly and pretended to be calm, asking back, "What's wrong? Don't you treat me as a family member?"

Zhong Heyang held her hand and placed it on his heart, "Heaven and earth can bear witness, I have always treated you as my wife."

Lin Ziqiu felt her palms burning hot, and her entire body felt as if it were on fire. She pulled her hand back embarrassedly, stood up and turned her back to the man, "It's getting late, I... I have to go wash up."

Zhong Heyang looked at her back as she almost fled in panic, and the corners of his lips rose slightly.

She now feels a sense of belonging to the Zhong family.

···

Zhong Zhiyang thought of a way to make money.

He went to see Ruan Qing the next day.

He asked directly, "Sister Qing, where did you buy all those supplies? Besides food and coats, do you have anything else to sell?"

Ruan Qing was originally curled up in bed reading a picture book. When he heard his words, he jumped up from the bed and asked, "Why are you asking this?"

Zhong Zhiyang rubbed his hands and said, "I...I want to buy a batch of goods at a low price and then sell them."

These days you need a ticket to buy anything, and since Ruan Qing can get so many supplies, it's impossible for her to need a ticket for everything. So she must have some connections.

If he could buy the goods at a low price and then sell them at a higher price without a ticket, there would definitely be someone willing to buy them.
