When Zhao's mother's voice rang out again, Zhao Hesheng slowly came out of the study to eat.

Looking at the meal on the table, there was one meat dish, two vegetable dishes, and a loofah and egg soup.

The only meat dish was mostly vegetables with very little meat, and the egg drop soup looked thin and watery, with not a trace of oil.

The dishes on the table looked rather meager, but the family was used to it and ate in silence at their seats.

Zhao's mother looked at her son, her eyes flickering, her whole demeanor conveying a sense of wanting to say something but hesitating to do so.

Seeing Zhao Hesheng looking over, Zhao's mother mustered up her courage and said, "He, how's your relationship with your current girlfriend? Why don't you bring her home sometime so we parents can meet her?"

Zhao Hesheng swallowed what was in his mouth, then looked at his mother and said hesitantly, "Mom, Yueqing and I have only been dating for a little over three months. Isn't it too early to bring her home now?"

Zhao's mother looked directly at Zhao Hesheng with a pained expression and said earnestly, "Three months is not early. We were never as free as you two before. Your father and I got married without even meeting each other, and we've lived our lives together, haven't we?"

At this point, Zhao's mother laughed heartily, "Your father and I are getting old. Once you get married, our mission will be accomplished."

"Your father and I have been busy for most of our lives, hoping that after your career is stable, you can get married and have children, and then we, the older generation, can retire and hand over this family to you and your wife. We can also relax and enjoy the blessings of our son and daughter-in-law."

Looking at her son, Zhao's mother was full of pride; this was her greatest achievement in life.

She raised her precious son to be a college student and secured a stable job with the government.

"Your mother is getting old now. Once your wife marries into the family, she'll be able to help me with some of the work."

"At least she should be able to cook and wash dishes. I've taken care of you two for so many years, and now she'll have someone to take over..."

Looking at her increasingly successful son, Zhao's mother continued to paint a picture of her future happy life.

Zhao's father remained silent, focusing only on his meal. He adhered to the traditional view that men should be responsible for external affairs while women should stay at home, and he never interfered in family matters.

Anyway, my wife will take care of everything perfectly.

As Zhao Hesheng listened to his mother's words, the image of Yueqing, whom he had met that day, floated into his mind.

He looked up at his home again, then silently lowered his head. There was no place in this house that matched Yueqing's fairy-like beauty.

He could hardly imagine that Yueqing would be like his mother, having to take care of her in-laws, husband, and son after get off work.

Cooking, washing dishes, sweeping, mopping, doing laundry? These are not things Yueqing should be doing at all.

Yueqing deserves to be pampered and live in a spacious, bright, and exquisitely decorated house.

When I get home from work, I can see a table full of hot dishes. After taking a shower and changing into comfortable clothes, I can sit down and enjoy a delicious meal.

After the meal, someone helped clear the dishes, while Yueqing sat leisurely on the balcony with a cup of fragrant coffee.

Holding a book, feeling the breeze, and enjoying the beautiful scenery, it's quiet and wonderful.

Instead of being like his mother, who has to clean up a table full of leftovers after eating.

Meanwhile, her dearest son and husband were leisurely watching TV in the living room.

She could only silently wash the dishes alone in the kitchen.

Since he can't give Yueqing a happy life, why did he drag her into this messy home?

Zhao Hesheng and Yueqing had high hopes for each other when they were together, but when it came to actually taking action, they backed down.

He couldn't selfishly drag such a beautiful girl into the abyss, causing her to lose her current radiance and turn into a wrinkled, rough, and sallow-faced woman.

Zhao Hesheng muttered to himself, "He can't be so selfish..."

……

Yueqing was unaware of the little schemes the Zhao family of three were plotting. After dinner, she went back to her room.

When Du's mother saw this, she whispered to Du Jianxin, "Old Du, look at our daughter. She didn't listen to a single word we said today. Look, she threw down her chopsticks after finishing her meal and went straight to her room. She didn't even think about spending time with the child."

Old Du couldn't bear to see his daughter being complained about by his wife, so he quickly said, "It's alright, spending a little time with the child won't make a difference; she'll have plenty of time later."

Mrs. Du rolled her eyes at him and said irritably, "Yes, you only dote on your daughter. You spoil her. She's already twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, but she's still like a child. She doesn't understand anything, and she's even been married."

Seeing his wife's genuine anger, Du Jianxin didn't dare to say a word, but secretly thought to himself, "Am I the only one who spoils her? Don't you spoil her just the same way?"

If you weren't going to spoil her, why were you whispering so softly, afraid your daughter would hear? Why didn't you knock on her door and pull her out earlier?

The Du family's house is in a small alley behind the school. It was a staff housing building that the school used to pay for, consisting of only two four-story buildings.

The people living here are all former teachers and their families from the Experimental Middle School.

However, in recent years, teachers from the Experimental Middle School have not been able to get any assignments.

Because the school only built two buildings at the beginning, and the families who could afford it bought them themselves, the school subsidized a portion of the cost.

The houses here have all the necessary paperwork, including property ownership certificates.

The Du family lives on the third floor of Building 1. Their building doesn't have an elevator, so they have to use the stairs to go up and down.

The Du family's house is 120 square meters, a solid 120 square meters, without any of the currently implemented shared area system.

The floors and furniture in the house are all made of solid wood, and the rooms don't have false ceilings; they're just simply painted white.

The house has four bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms. Yueqing lives in the largest master bedroom because it's spacious and has a balcony and a bathroom.

They also decorated a small study, and placed some green plants in the room, making it look very fresh and elegant.

Du's parents lived in the second bedroom, and little Wang Anzhao lived next door to them.

The most eye-catching thing in this house is the green plants; there are some green plants in every corner of the house.

Upon entering Yueqing's room, one immediately sees a bookshelf against the wall, filled with all sorts of books and some small ornaments that Yueqing likes.

Upon entering the house, you'll find a small living room with two potted plants next to the sofa, as well as a wardrobe and a dressing table.

The dressing table was covered with skincare products and small ornaments.

Yueqing's bed was next to the right side of the balcony window. Beside the window was a rectangular desk with some documents that Yueqing had organized and various colored pens on it.

Further ahead is the balcony, where there is a rocking chair, a round table, and two stools. There are also many green plants on the balcony, all of which are flowers and plants that Yueqing likes.

Yueqing loves having green plants everywhere in her home; they're pleasing to the eye and make her feel happy.

Du Yueqing's entire room presents a refreshing and simple beauty, yet it is also warm and elegant.
