Arranged marriage, love blossoms: Marrying into a wealthy family while holding a miniature version o

"The longer it drags on, the more my mother-in-law will feel guilty."

Zhou Yi quickly shook her head: "Mom, no, Grandma won't be angry. Grandma will understand you. Grandma is fine. Grandma knows that."

Sheng Mingying looked at her with pity in her eyes: "Of course I know Grandma won't say anything. Grandma is a reasonable person. But child, you don't understand the heart of an elder. Even if your grandma doesn't say anything, she will still feel sorry for you."

Upon hearing Sheng Mingying's words, Zhou Yi bit her lip and lowered her head.

She couldn't tell anyone about it because it was fake.

Grandma would only feel truly heartbroken and even guilty if she knew.

She didn't want her grandmother to blame herself; she just wanted her grandmother to be healthy.

Seeing that she was quiet, Sheng Mingying held her hand and said lovingly, "It's okay, Mom will talk to her later, and Mom will chat with your grandma."

"Although I never met your grandmother, I admire her very much."

Hearing Sheng Mingying's words, Zhou Yi felt guilty, knowing that she and her husband might get divorced next year.

Zhou Yi looked at Sheng Mingying, her lips moved, and then she said apologetically, "Mom, I'm sorry for making you worry."

"Oh dear, you're always so formal with 'I'm sorry' and 'thank you'."

"What? Don't you consider yourself someone from a prominent family?"

Sheng Mingying looked at her with her shrewd eyes. Did this little girl really think she could hide what she was thinking from her?

How naive.

Zhou Yi, feeling stared at by Sheng Mingying, quickly lowered her head: "No...no, in my heart..."

Zhou Yi looked up, her big eyes filled with warmth as she looked at her: "In my heart, Mom and Dad, Mr., Yu Yu, and everyone here are my family."

Her marriage to her husband was fake, but their feelings for each other were real.

Since getting her marriage certificate with her husband and moving into the old house, she has clearly felt what home is.

They are her family, and they always will be in her heart.

Looking into those clear, bright eyes, filled with sincerity and longing for home, Sheng Mingying tenderly patted Zhou Yi's hand and said gently, "We are all family. In the future, don't be so polite. Your mother, father, brothers, and sisters all consider you a member of the Wen family."

"It will never change in this lifetime."

Zhou Yi smiled, her face and eyes full of joy: "Okay."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted as they took a walk. Then Sheng Mingying went for a nap, and when the little one woke up, Zhou Yi played with him until the little one went to sleep around 3 p.m. Zhou Yi stayed with him.

However, she didn't sleep with the little one. Instead, after the little one fell asleep, she asked Aunt Dong to watch over him while she went out to make a phone call.

Aunt Dong agreed and went into the nursery to watch over the little one. Zhou Yi took her phone and went outside to a slightly farther place to call Li Jiahong.

There are some things she needs to ask her third aunt.

"beep……"

The call connected.

As Zhou Yi listened to the beeping sound, her mind raced.

"Hey, Zhou Yi."

The call was answered just as it was about to end, and Li Jiahong's panting yet laughing voice came through.

Upon hearing Li Jiahong's voice, Zhou Yi's many thoughts cleared up, and he called out, "Third Aunt."

Li Jiahong smiled and asked, "How is Auntie now? Is she feeling better? Is she able to leave now?"

As she spoke, Li Jiahong brushed the dust off her clothes, then picked up a cup and poured herself some water.

She gulped down a large glass of water in one go, then put the glass down and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Hearing her voice, Zhou Yi smiled and asked, "Third Aunt, are you busy?"

Li Jiahong wiped the water off her mouth with her hand, picked up a stool and sat down, relaxed, and said with a smile, "It wasn't too busy. I just cut down some bamboo in Xiaoshiwan a while ago, and today I dried them and carried some back. I'm home now."

As Zhou Yi listened to Li Jiahong's words, she looked at the sky outside. The sun was shining brightly, and she wondered if it was hot at home at this time.

Zhou Yi asked, "Third Aunt, is it hot at home?"

Li Jiahong smiled and said, "It's not hot. Isn't it the beginning of autumn now? The temperature isn't as high as before. It's a cloudy day today, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to go and bring some back. We've almost run out of firewood at home."

After saying that, Li Jiahong continued, "How is Auntie? Can she walk now? I spoke to her on the phone a couple of days ago, and she sounded quite well and recovered very well. It's all thanks to the good medical conditions in big cities that Auntie recovered so quickly there. I guarantee we can celebrate the New Year together at the end of this year!"

Li Jiahong was happy as she spoke, genuinely happy for Zhou Yi.

She knew that Zhou Yi was most worried about Xu Fengzhen, and now that Xu Fengzhen was doing well, Zhou Yi could finally relax a bit.

This child has really had a tough time.

As Zhou Yi listened to Li Jiahong's words, her eyes softened: "Grandma can walk now. This morning, my husband, my brother, and I took Grandma for a full-body checkup. She's recovering very well. Grandma can now walk around the ward a couple of times by herself with her cane."

"Really?!"

Li Jiahong was instantly excited and said, "When I talked to my aunt on the phone a couple of days ago, she said that she could walk now, but she needed someone to help her. I didn't expect that she could walk on her own so soon. It's really great."

Zhou Yixiao: "Yes, Grandma is recovering very quickly. The doctors said it was quite unexpected. Third Aunt, you don't need to worry. Grandma is doing very well here."

Li Jiahong smiled and said, "I'm not worried at all. With you here, Auntie will be fine. It's just that I'm worried about you. You have to work and take care of Auntie all day long. It must be very hard for you. You need to take care of yourself and get some rest."

Li Jiahong's face was full of worry as she spoke; this child has really had a tough time.

Hearing Li Jiahong's voice, Zhou Yi felt a warmth in her heart: "Third Aunt, I'm fine. My husband and the old lady have taken good care of me and helped me. They haven't made things difficult for me at all. My brother is also taking care of Grandma in the hospital. Everyone is very kind to me, especially kind."

Li Jiahong laughed: "Zhou Yi, your boss is really great! You should work hard for him, he really is a good boss!"

"It's not easy for someone to find a good boss, but you're a great employee too. He's lucky to have such a good employee like you, just like they say..."

"What's that saying again? Let me think... it's something like 'double'... double something..."

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "It's a two-way journey."

Li Jiahong immediately said, "Yes, yes, that's it! It's a two-way street! You're good, your boss is good, everyone's good, that's what a two-way street is!"

Zhou Yi smiled broadly and said, "Yes, we are going in the same direction."

But in reality, she owed her husband a great deal.

Even later...

Zhou Yi's face flashed before her eyes. She clenched her fists, looked up, and her smile turned serious: "Third Aunt, there's something I want to ask you."

Zhou Yi changed the subject, and her voice was completely different. Li Jiahong immediately said, "Tell me, what is it? Your third aunt will tell you anything she knows!"
