The little drama queen is both capricious and naughty, but her military officer husband insists on s

A flood of negative emotions overwhelmed Jiang Zao, making it hard for her to breathe.

Although I can clearly realize that this state is not right, I don't know how to adjust it.

She felt like she was about to break down.

I really want to burst into tears.

Can someone please tell her what to do?

Jiangzao felt helpless at that moment.

The only way I could think of to vent was to cry.

She thought she must look very neurotic right now, and Lu Yanxun probably thought she had gone mad.

Waaah... But she really couldn't control herself.

Someone come and save her.

Lu Yanxun was stunned for a moment when Jiang Zao suddenly lost control of her emotions.

He couldn't understand Jiang Zao's current state of mind, but he knew it was all due to her pregnancy.

However, he didn't know how to comfort her.

After thinking for a moment, I could only gently persuade him, "Don't cry."

Jiang Zao, with her rebellious nature, became even more excited upon hearing those three words:

"Why can't I cry? What's it to you if I cry? Did I disturb you? Then get out! Didn't I just tell you to get out?"

Jiang Zao knew that Lu Yanxun was looking down on her.

He just found her crying annoying, and he had to go to the trouble of massaging her stomach when it hurt from crying.

But he wasn't massaging her stomach for her own sake; it was for his child's.

Lu Yanxun is such a good father!

Woohoo~~~

But what does his desire to be a good father have to do with her? Why shouldn't she be allowed to cry?

She cried!

Just cry as hard as you can!

She didn't care what he thought of her or how he viewed her; she was already in such a sorry state, she didn't care about anything anymore!

Woohoo~~~

Jiang Zao went from silently shedding tears to crying out loud.

There are signs that things are spiraling out of control.

Seeing this, Lu Yanxun's brows furrowed involuntarily.

It wasn't that Jiangzao was annoyed by crying, but rather that she didn't know how to appease her.

His meager experience in coaxing girls was all gleaned from these past few days of forcing himself to work on Jiang Zao.

Now there's an even more difficult new situation, and his experience is practically nonexistent.

Faced with the predicament before him, Lu Yanxun felt helpless and at a loss.

Jiang Zao cried one sob after another, and seeing her cry, his heart was in turmoil.

Lu Yanxun grasped the wrist of Jiang Zao's hand that was wiping away tears, his dark eyes fixed on her tear-streaked face as he asked:

"Will you stop crying if I go out?"

Jiang Zao tried to shake off his hand, but failed.

I shook it again with all my might, but I still couldn't shake it off.

Lu Yanxun's palm was burning hot, making her wrist feel hot as he held it.

Jiang Zao continued to shake him, shouting unreasonably, "Let go of me! What business is it of yours whether I cry or not? Who are you to me? If I tell you to get out, then get out!"

Lu Yanxun gripped his hand even tighter.

Ginger and jujubes are being unreasonable and argumentative:

"Why are you grabbing me? Let go of me! Can't you hear me? You're nobody to me, don't touch me!"

Unable to shake off Lu Yanxun's hand, Jiang Zao tried to push him away.

Push his arm, push his chest.

He strained with his shoulders and elbows, twisting his waist as he struggled.

Jiang Zao put all her strength into it, and Lu Yanxun couldn't subdue her with just one hand.

They have hands now, but Jiangzao still has feet.

Like a rabbit kicking its legs haphazardly, its whole body limp, it tries to twist itself into a pretzel.

Having exhausted all other options, Lu Yanxun, in desperation, pulled the person into his arms.

He hugged Jiang Zao's wriggling body tightly.

Lu Yanxun held Jiang Zao tightly, whispering soothing words in her ear:

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say. I'll go out, I'll be out in a bit. Don't cry, I'll go out right away, don't cry."

Jiang Zao's shoulders and arms were tightly held in Lu Yanxun's arms, and her chin was forced to rest on his shoulder.

Completely paralyzed, yet still stubbornly retorting:

"I'm not crying for you, so why can't I cry? Waaah~~~"

Jiang Zao cried even harder and louder in Lu Yanxun's arms, soaking Lu Yanxun's shoulder with her tears.

“I know you weren’t crying for me, and I didn’t mean it that way either.” Lu Yanxun gently patted Jiang Zao’s back and explained in a low voice, “I just didn’t want you to cry.”

"Why?" Jiang Zao asked, crying.

Lu Yanxun didn't know how to answer.

In short, he didn't want to see Jiang Zao cry. Whenever she cried, his heart would inexplicably become a little chaotic.

Lu Yanxun did not answer Jiang Zao's question in the end, but changed the gesture of patting her back to stroking her back up and down.

Lu Yanxun remained silent, and Jiang Zao assumed that he was disgusted with her again.

I feel so choked up.

I can only vent through tears.

Even when Lu Yanxun held her and comforted her, she still cried a lot.

Because she knew that Lu Yanxun was coaxing her for the child's sake.

Hearing crying coming from Jiang Zao's house, Zhou Meixia dropped the spatula and rushed over.

As soon as I stepped into the room, I was shocked to see Lu Yanxun and Jiang Zao embracing each other.

Confused and wanting to understand the situation, Zhou Meixia quickly withdrew the foot that had stepped into the room.

The person also retreated back outside the door.

She crouched by the door, her ear pressed against the frame, eavesdropping on what her daughter and son-in-law were doing.

It was almost lunchtime when Jiang Laiwang finished his work and returned.

As soon as I entered the gate, I saw a shadowy figure crouching and lying in front of my daughter's room.

Feeling dizzy from hunger, Jiang Laiwang thought a thief had broken into his house. He was terrified and grabbed the bamboo pole he used to drive his donkey to attack.

But as he took a few steps closer, he discovered that the furtive figure was actually his wife, Zhou Meixia.

Jiang Laiwang was about to ask Zhou Meixia why she was stealing in the house in broad daylight, but he realized something as soon as he opened his mouth.

There is someone in the house.

Is there a thief inside?

Jiang Laiwang gripped the bamboo pole tightly, crouched low, and tiptoed to Zhou Meixia's side. He had also heard the crying from inside the house, which sounded like his daughter Zao'er's.

Why is Zao'er back?

She was kicked out by her in-laws?

Jiang Laiwang was extremely anxious at Jiang Zao's cries. He wanted to go in and see what was wrong, but he was worried that rushing into the house would make things worse.

Besides, if something had really happened, Zhou Meixia would have rushed into the house long ago; it wouldn't have been his turn.

He knew how much Zhou Meixia valued Jiang Zao; there must be a reason why she hadn't gone inside.

Jiang Laiwang nudged Zhou Meixia with his elbow.

Zhou Meixia was intently eavesdropping on the sounds inside the house, and because Jiang Zao was crying, she didn't hear Jiang Laiwang's footsteps.

When someone suddenly appeared beside her, Zhou Meixia was so startled she almost screamed.

When Zhou Meixia realized that the person next to her was her husband, she raised her foot and kicked him.

He gritted his teeth and cursed silently, "You bastard, you scared me to death!"

Jiang Laiwang rubbed his sore calf, wincing in pain, but dared not utter a sound.

He winced in pain and pointed to the door.

She silently asked, mimicking Zhou Meixia's manner, "What's wrong? Why is Zao'er back?"

Zhou Meixia and Jiang Laiwang have been married for over twenty years and have long had a tacit understanding.

As soon as Jiang Laiwang opened his mouth, she knew what he said without even hearing his voice.

Zhou Meixia glared at him impatiently, silently replying, "How should I know? I'm listening!"

Jiang Laiwang continued silently, "Then why is Zao'er crying? Was she kicked out of her husband's family?"

Zhou Meixia wrinkled her nose in disgust: "You old hag, you smell like a donkey and you can't even speak human language! My daughter is so good, who would dare to send her back?"

Jiang Laiwang ignored Zhou Meixia's silent insults and pointed to the door: "Shall we go in and take a look?"

Zhou Meixia glared at him again: "What are you looking at? Your son-in-law is in there too."

He then gestured to Jiang Laiwang with his chin, "Come on, let's talk in the kitchen."

Jiang Laiwang looked puzzled: "My son-in-law is here too?"

Zhou Meixia ignored him and turned to leave.

Jiang Laiwang glanced at Jiang Zao's door and followed his wife with a limp.

Once in the kitchen, Jiang Laiwang was finally able to speak normally, but he still kept his voice very low:

"Honey, what's going on? Didn't Zao'er just go back to her in-laws' house yesterday?"

"Add more firewood."

Zhou Meixia glanced at him, picked up the spatula, and continued stirring in the pot.

Jiang Laiwang skillfully sat down in front of the stove and expertly added a handful of firewood to the firebox.

He pressed impatiently, "Say something!"

Zhou Meixia calmly cooked the dishes and leisurely told Jiang Laiwang about Lu Yanxun bringing back ginger dates.

She also mentioned that Lu Yanxun left and then came back, and that Jiang Zao suddenly started crying for some reason.

After listening, Jiang Laiwang fell silent.

He stared at the flames in the stove with a furrowed brow, remaining silent for a long time.

After finishing cooking a dish, Zhou Meixia noticed that Jiang Laiwang hadn't said anything yet and couldn't help but ask, "Why aren't you saying anything?"

"What did I say?" Jiang Laiwang looked up at her, his tone calming down. "It's good that Zao'er is alright."

According to Zhou Meixia's description, her daughter Zao'er was not driven back by her husband's family.

She wanted to come back, so her son-in-law brought her back, which shows that she didn't suffer any grievances at her husband's family home.

Jiang Laiwang put aside his worries and focused on burning firewood.

Zhou Meixia quickly washed the pot and started cooking another dish: "Weren't you worried that the girl would cry? Now you're not worried anymore?"

“Didn’t you say that your son-in-law is with her? With your son-in-law there, what am I worried about?” Jiang Laiwang’s lips curled up slightly.

It's clear he's quite satisfied with his son-in-law.

After a while, she seemed to remember something and said, "Besides, when you were pregnant with them, you cried every day and every night, and I always had to hold you and comfort you for a long time."

Jiang Laiwang is very experienced in coaxing people.

After hearing Zhou Meixia's description, I knew what had happened.

Zhou Meixia hummed softly, "That's true. When I first heard Zao'er crying, my heart jumped, but when I saw the young couple hugging each other, I felt there was nothing to worry about."

The elderly couple put their worries back down and busied themselves in the kitchen.

Since her son-in-law was eating there, Zhou Meixia cooked two more dishes.

Jiang Laiwang and Zhou Meixia were relieved, but Jiang Guo, who rushed to her room after school to finish her homework as soon as possible, got angry.

"Brother-in-law!!!"

Jiang Guo widened her big, round, dark eyes, stamped her foot at the door, and shouted:

"You bullied my sister!!!"

The young couple, who were embracing each other, were startled by this angry shout.

Jiang Zao, who was still sobbing in Lu Yanxun's arms, was so frightened that she stopped crying immediately.

Jiang Guo has always been her sister's most loyal servant since childhood.

Seeing her sister crying her eyes out, heartbroken and devastated, her bloodline as her sister's loyal servant instantly awakened!

Jiang Guo has never had a good impression of Lu Yanxun, the brother-in-law who suddenly appeared in their family and stole her sister away.

In the world of a thirteen-year-old girl, she had no idea what it meant for her sister to marry her brother-in-law, nor did she know what was so remarkable about her brother-in-law's unattainable family background.

All she knew was that her sister had been taken away by a strange man!

I'd heard long ago that her brother-in-law wasn't very good to her sister; he abandoned her at home on the second day after their wedding.

Now she has to witness her sister being bullied and crying.

Jiang Guo almost improved her impression of Lu Yanxun after thinking that he had been kind to her sister a couple of days ago out of a change of heart.

As a result, she secretly bullied her sister.

Good grief, they even came to her house to bully her.

Seeing her sister's red, swollen eyes, Jiang Guo was furious.

She grabbed a broom from beside the door, intending to chase away Lu Yanxun, this audacious bully who had harassed her sister: "You! Let go of my sister!"

Jiang Zao, unaware of what was happening, struggled to get out of Lu Yanxun's arms.

Lu Yanxun didn't know what had happened either, but subconsciously hugged Jiang Zao, who was trying to struggle to break free, even tighter.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Guo immediately lost her temper.

"You scoundrel!" Jiang Guo angrily accused.

Hearing the commotion, Zhou Meixia and Jiang Laiwang rushed over.

Zhou Meixia grabbed Jiang Guo's arm, which was holding a broom, and pulled her back a step.

"Guozi, what are you doing!"

Jiang Guo, with her neck stiffened, complained to her parents, "Mom, my brother-in-law bullied my sister and even harassed her!"

"Dad, you've come at the right time! He's bullying my sister, you need to get rid of him!"

Zhou Meixia glanced at her daughter and son-in-law, who were still hugging each other, and poked Jiang Guo on the forehead in an annoyed manner.

"You brat, what nonsense are you spouting! Come out here!"

Zhou Meixia gritted her teeth and cursed, then forcibly dragged Jiang Guo away.

Jiang Laiwang only glanced at his daughter and son-in-law when he entered the door before turning away in embarrassment.

He didn't say a word the whole time, and even closed the door before leaving.

The wooden door, which had been there for many years, had many cracks and gaps, and the sounds from outside could be clearly heard through the cracks.

It was Zhou Meixia scolding Jiang Guo:

"If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll beat you to death!"

Then came Jiang Guo's stubborn rebuttal: "But he bullied my sister until she cried. Just now, my sister wouldn't let him hug her, but he insisted on hugging her and wouldn't let go. I even saw him hug my sister even tighter!"

"You..." Zhou Meixia seemed exasperated and, in a fit of anger, simply ordered Jiang Laiwang, "Her dad, bring me the shoes that are drying by the wall. I'm going to teach her a lesson today! Let her talk so carelessly at such a young age!"

I don't know if Jiang Laiwang handed Zhou Meixia her shoes, but I heard Jiang Guo scream several times afterward.

He kept saying he would never dare to do it again.

Hearing her youngest daughter's pig-like screams, Zhou Meixia became furious and began scolding her again:

"You little brat, your dad's watching. I didn't even manage to hit you once, and you're still putting on such a show, screaming like a pig being slaughtered. Who taught you that? You think you can fool your old lady? You've really gone too far!"

Jiang Guo protested, "Who told you to hit me, Mom? My sister..."

"Shut up!" Zhou Meixia snapped. "Don't you dare bother your sister and brother-in-law again, or I'll really hit you!"
