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

"So what?! You told me not to talk, but you talked a lot yourself!"

Jiang Laiwang also interrupted Zhou Meixia's nagging in an annoyed manner.

“I’m her mother, what’s wrong with me saying a few more words?” Zhou Meixia retorted.

Jiang Laiwang retorted, somewhat annoyed, "So you're the only one who can say anything? I'm her father, and I want to say a few more words too!"

Zhou Meixia glared at her: "Who told you not to speak?"

Jiang Laiwang retorted, not to be outdone: "It's because you wouldn't let me say it!"

Zhou Meixia sneered, "Am I not letting you speak, or are you just unable to speak? You won't even let anyone hear what you're saying!"

Jiang Laiwang said sarcastically, "That sounds nice to you! That's just your opinion, but other people don't think that way!"

The couple talked back and forth, as if they wanted to start a fight right there on the spot.

Jiang Zao forced back her tears and quickly tried to mediate: "Mom and Dad, please stop arguing."

The couple argued over protecting the ginger and jujubes, but her words had no effect whatsoever.

The couple wouldn't listen at all.

They were still attacking each other, one sentence after another.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade her parents, Jiang Zao had no choice but to ask Lu Yanxun for help.

"Lu Yanxun, what are you standing there for? Quickly help me persuade my parents to stop arguing."

Jiang Zao tugged at Lu Yanxun's clothes.

So Lu Yanxun immediately tried to persuade them, "Mom and Dad, please stop arguing."

Just that simple sentence silenced the couple who were arguing the moment before.

Mom and Dad?

Lu Yanxun called them Mom and Dad?

The title wasn't new, but coming from Lu Yanxun's mouth made it all the more unusual.

Jiang Laiwang immediately stood up straight, straightening his back, making himself look like a qualified father-in-law.

Zhou Meixia then remembered that she was a mother-in-law, and quickly tucked the hair that had fallen beside her cheeks behind her ears.

Compared to her parents' reaction, Jiang Zao was even more shocked.

Even amidst the shock, Jiang Zao couldn't help but cast an admiring glance at Lu Yanxun.

Goodness, she just said "goodness".

Lu Yanxun truly lived up to his reputation as someone who had been on the battlefield, led troops, and fought battles.

That's the kind of perspective people have.

It's all embodied in that one word: "Mom and Dad".

Gee tut.

Jiang Zao was speechless with admiration.

"Please rest assured, I will treat Xiaozao well and take good care of her. Please feel free to entrust her to me; I will not let you down."

Lu Yanxun solemnly assured him.

Jiang's parents were completely speechless.

Jiang Zao looked at Lu Yanxun with adoration, almost regarding him as her idol.

This man is such a good actor!

No, you can't say that.

She should say that the man was being too accommodating.

Although she had made an agreement with him, she never imagined that he could go to this extent.

Judging from his serious expression, people who didn't know the truth would think it was real.

In fact, even Jiang Zao, who knew the truth, almost believed it.

"Are you getting in or not? If not, I'm driving off."

The driver, having watched the commotion to his heart's content, finally couldn't resist urging them himself, "My whole carload of people is waiting for another car!"

"Yes, we're in a hurry."

"We've been waiting for you for so long."

"I must say, this young couple is a perfect match. Judging by her belly, she's probably about to give birth."

"Yes, that couple is really good-looking, their child must be incredibly handsome!"

The passengers on the bus started talking amongst themselves.

Jiang Laiwang looked embarrassed, while Zhou Meixia was extremely proud.

As if afraid no one could hear, she said loudly, "Yanxun, you and Zao'er should get in the car quickly. My Zao'er is carrying twins, so she's much heavier and has a harder time than other pregnant women. She needs to go home and rest as soon as possible!"

After her mother promoted it like that, many people on the bus cast envious glances at her.

Jiang Zao felt embarrassed.

His toes were fiddling around inside his shoes.

Is having twins really that amazing? Why brag about it everywhere?

"Let's go quickly." Jiang Zao buried her head in Lu Yanxun's chest and tugged at his clothes.

Lu Yanxun told Jiang's parents and then got into the car with Jiang Zao in his arms.

"Zao'er, go back and live a good life. Don't think about home too much. Mom will come to see you when she has time," Zhou Meixia called out to Jiang Zao before the car door closed.

Jiang Laiwang's voice followed closely: "Dad too."

"Mom and Dad, I'm leaving. Please don't fight when you get back. My child and I will be fine," Jiang Zao replied reluctantly.

As soon as Jiang Zao finished speaking, the ticket seller closed the bus door.

The car sped away.

"They just left like that, before I even finished speaking."

Zhou Meixia watched the car drive away and muttered to herself.

Jiang Laiwang glanced at the car's rear and turned to walk towards the village entrance: "Why didn't you say so when you had plenty of time today? Why did you have to come here and fight with others to say it?"

Jiang Laiwang complained with dissatisfaction.

He originally had some things he wanted to say to his daughter and son-in-law.

But Zhou Meixia ruined it all.

He didn't get to say many of the things he wanted to say.

When Zhou Meixia heard that Jiang Laiwang was actually complaining about her, she was immediately annoyed.

She strode over and said, "Jiang Laiwang, you old codger who's dragging me down, you still have the nerve to say that! If you hadn't argued with me today, I would have said everything I needed to say long ago!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Laiwang found Zhou Meixia utterly unreasonable: "You woman are so irrational! You're the one who's holding me back! If you hadn't interrupted me, I would have finished speaking long ago!"

With her daughter and son-in-law away, Zhou Meixia completely lost patience with Jiang Laiwang.

She played her trump card: "Jiang Laiwang, I'm not happy today, I'm not making dinner!"

"What does Xiao Bei eat with sweets?"

Zhou Meixia choked back: "I said I'm not making your dinner! I'll eat with my two kids, and I don't care if you, you stinking man, go eat shit!"

After Zhou Meixia finished her imposing announcement, she strode past Jiang Laiwang and walked ahead of him.

He was left with only a stubborn and resolute back view.

Jiang Laiwang: "..."

This woman always uses this trick!

Fine, I won't do it. This time, he won't beg her!

After making up his mind not to compromise, Jiang Laiwang also overtook Zhou Meixia.

She was also left with a stubborn and resolute back view.

Seeing his stubborn, head-up, chest-out demeanor, Zhou Meixia was so angry that she rushed over in a few strides.

He kicked him hard in the butt.

"what!"

Jiang Laiwang let out a scream without warning.

Hearing the screams, Zhou Meixia finally felt a sense of relief.

Jiang Laiwang limped a few steps, and only after Zhou Meixia strode past him again did he pat his bottom and resume his normal walking posture.

Jiang Laiwang's inner thoughts: This woman, we've been married for over twenty years, why does she still like to pull this stunt?

Thinking of this, Jiang Lai chuckled without getting angry.

The car swayed and bumped as it drove into the city.

Jiang Zao was shaken so much that she fell asleep in her seat again.

This time, Lu Yanxun was more experienced. He simply pulled Jiang Zao's shoulders close to his and let her sleep in his arms.

"Young man, how many months pregnant is your wife? Is this her first child?"

An older woman sitting on the other side of the aisle asked Lu Yanxun in a low voice.

"First pregnancy, seven and a half months along."

"She looks about this size to me. Your wife is quite far along in her pregnancy, so it's best not to take her on any more long trips. She should rest at home and recover properly," the older woman kindly advised.

Lu Yanxun nodded his thanks.

The woman continued, "This is her first pregnancy, so don't hold her all the time, and don't let her lie down all day. Make her walk around; walking more will help the baby be born faster."
