Chapter 774: Chapter 328: Mother-in-Law of the Past_2
And proactively got out of the car to help Su Qing with her luggage.
Zhou Yuwen is so thoughtful, Su Qing was very satisfied, and even said thank you.
Zhou Yuwen glanced at Su Qing and said, “Spend more ti with your mom.”
“Auntie, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving first.”
Zhou Yuwen greeted Pan Min.
“Well, why not co up for so tea before you go?”
Pan Min’s words were lukewarm, which is just the way she is. When Zhou Yuwen and Su Qing first t her in their past life, she sized them up before engaging in light conversation.
Zhou Yuwen was especially nervous at the ti, even thinking that she was not pleased with him.
But after getting to know her for a while, they realized that Aunt Pan Min was actually quite nice.
She wasn’t like other mothers-in-law, demanding this and that. Before marrying Su Qing, Zhou Yuwen and Pan Min had only t a few tis.
It was only when they were about to get married that Pan Min sought him out for a private chat.
She gave Zhou Yuwen a bank card, telling him there was a hundred thousand yuan inside.
Pan Min said she had no other requests, just hoping that Zhou Yuwen would be more accommodating to Su Qing in the future.
Pan Min also ntioned that there was no need to tell Su Qing about the money; as long as the two of them were happy, that was all that mattered.
Indeed, one of the reasons Zhou Yuwen treated Su Qing so well after getting married was because of this mother-in-law.
Pan Min wouldn’t judge soone for their wealth or poverty; she only cared about Su Qing’s happiness.
To be honest, in their small town, with Pan Min’s looks, even as a divorced woman with a daughter, she had no shortage of suitors. If she had been the vain and materialistic type, she would have remarried long ago.
It was mainly because she was fed up with her first marriage to Su Qing’s father; she found contentnt in living alone and had peacefully raised her daughter, hadn’t she?
“No need, Auntie, I just got back ho today and my family is waiting for ,” Zhou Yuwen said.
“Oh, then you be careful on your way.”
Sister Min still wasn’t much of a talker.
Luckily, Zhou Yuwen understood her personality and didn’t mind it; he gave Pan Min a smile and was about to leave.
But who would have thought, Su Qing absolutely wouldn’t let Zhou Yuwen go, and directly grabbed hold of him.
Zhou Yuwen asked her what’s the matter?
Su Qing pouted and quickly pulled Zhou Yuwen aside to whisper to him.
She asked Zhou Yuwen to co hang out with her tomorrow.
Zhou Yuwen said, “I’ll see how things go.”
“What do you an ‘see how things go’?” Su Qing was not pleased with the answer.
Zhou Yuwen told Su Qing, “I just got ho and there will definitely be a bunch of things to do, how can I have ti to hang out with you.”
“I don’t care, you said you were busy with work at school, now that you are ho, what work could you possibly have, you have to take to stroll around the streets tomorrow!”
Zhou Yuwen said, “I’ll see how things go.”
“No seeing how things go, it’s a must, otherwise I’ll co find you tomorrow.”
“….”
Zhou Yuwen tilted his head to sneak a glance at Pan Min, then whispered to Su Qing, “Your mom is still watching us.”
“Are you coming or not tomorrow?” Su Qing asked with an expectant tone.
Zhou Yuwen said he would co, was that okay now, asking her to let him go!
“Hmph, not too bad, co here.” Su Qing was satisfied and beckoned Zhou Yuwen over.
Zhou Yuwen thought she had sothing to tell him, so he leaned in a bit closer.
Then Su Qing happily planted a kiss on Zhou Yuwen’s face.
“Giggle giggle giggle!”
Su Qing laughed, very pleased with herself, and said: “You can go now!”
Zhou Yuwen was utterly speechless and glanced back at his mother-in-law, only to see that she too was quite embarrassed, looking downward as though she had not noticed.
Zhou Yuwen could not be bothered to speak with Su Qing anymore and just casually said goodbye before adding to Pan Min, “I’m off, Auntie.”
“Mm.”
Then, Zhou Yuwen drove away.
Su Qing waved at Zhou Yuwen’s car until it was out of sight, then she turned around to face her mother who was still waiting for her and her expression changed: “Mom! I’ve missed you so much!”
They hadn’t seen each other for four months, but in reality, it might have been more than four months. They probably had lots and lots to catch up on tonight, and just talking about Zhou Yuwen could take days and nights without end.
But Su Qing’s soul was not that of a re eighteen-year-old girl. Back in college, she told Zhou Yuwen that if possible, she hoped her mother wouldn’t have to work, because her mom was a fairy and not suited for work, and also because Pan Min was beautiful, she had plenty of suitors at work, which might be enjoyable for so won, but for Pan Min, it was truly troubleso.
So, Su Qing’s biggest wish at that ti was to earn a lot of money to support her mother.
But that had not been possible before.
Tonight, Su Qing would certainly say proudly, “Mom, quit your job. You can depend on Zhou Yuwen to support you. Zhou Yuwen is rich; he has lots and lots of money!”
Of course, Zhou Yuwen knew nothing about this.
By the ti Zhou Yuwen returned ho from Su Qing’s place, it was nearly ten o’clock.
His mother sent him a ssage saying there was no need to co to the teahouse anymore.
“Everybody has left. You just drive ho, your dad and I have sothing to tell you.”
Just that line alone was enough to send shivers down soone’s spine.
Sigh, what has to be faced will eventually have to be faced.
Zhou Yuwen’s car turned into the alley he’d grown up in.
Zhou Yuwen’s ho was not only large, it was also the first house along the roadside which made it extrely convenient to access.
Zhou Yuwen’s car was parked right by the roadside.
Because the house is often rented out, the front gate is generally left open.
The mont Zhou Yuwen had locked his car and stepped through the gate, he saw his elder cousin Peng Xiaoyong boiling water at the entrance which surprised him: “Cousin Xiaoyong?”
“Oh.” Peng Xiaoyong turned his head upon seeing Zhou Yuwen and nodded in acknowledgnt.
Zhou Yuwen was quite taken aback upon seeing Peng Xiaoyong—it was before he got a chance to ask why he was in his house.
His mother heard Zhou Yuwen’s voice and ca out of the house, pulling him and asking, “Why have you co so late! Your dad has been waiting for you in the study for ages!”
While speaking, she pulled Zhou Yuwen into the main house. This was the Zhou family’s old estate, encompassing over three hundred square ters; just the main house alone followed a layout of three bedrooms and a living room, and further, three floors of side buildings in the back were rented out to tenants.
Once inside, Mrs. Zhou lowered her voice and whispered, “Aunt’s place is too small; your cousin-in-law is temporarily staying with us.”
“Oh, is cousin here too?” Zhou Yuwen asked curiously.
“Mind your own business!” Mrs. Zhou glared at Zhou Yuwen, whispering softly, “You better worry about your own issues first!”
Zhou Yuwen pouted and said, “What could possibly be wrong with ?”
Although Zhou Yuwen had entered the house with his mother, she had spoken so hastily that the cousin in the yard could have heard sothing.
But as for the issue of Lu Wanting staying at Zhou Yuwen’s house, Peng Xiaoyong didn’t find anything improper about it.
This was the old estate after all; supposedly, his own mother also had a share.
It was his uncle’s fault to begin with, monopolizing the place. So what would be the problem if his girlfriend temporarily stayed here?
Peng Xiaoyong boiled the water in the yard and then went up to the second floor through the staircase in the side building, where he found the room where Lu Wanting was temporarily residing.
This was the room arranged for tenants by Zhou Yuwen’s family. Although it had the basic living facilities, it was quite crude for those who had returned from abroad.
When Lu Wanting first arrived here, she stayed in a hotel for two days. Later, out of concern over the expense, Aunt persuaded Lu Wanting to move here.
Even so, she had brand new bedding and pillows provided.
“Wanting, I’ve boiled so hot water for you. Living here may be inconvenient, so if you need anything, feel free to speak with my uncle and aunt, or you can call . My place isn’t far from here,” Peng Xiaoyong said.
“Thank you for your trouble.”
When Peng Xiaoyong ca in, Lu Wanting stood up, slightly embarrassed, as she said, “You really don’t need to go through all this trouble, I’m starting to feel quite embarrassed. I was only wanting to experience the festive atmosphere of the New Year, I didn’t expect your relatives to be so welcoming. To be honest, I think I should stay in a hotel. I feel a bit uneasy staying with your uncle and aunt.”
“No, it’s fine. After all, this property belongs to my grandfather, and by all rights, my mother should have a share in it, so please settle in and make yourself comfortable,” Peng Xiaoyong said.
