The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down

Chapter 340 - 330: Living a Good Life

Cheng Xue didn’t expect Liu Yulan to be so easygoing.

Oh, actually, that’s not quite right. Her mother-in-law had always been very nice to her; it was just that she couldn’t see it.

Thinking of this, she immediately showed a bright smile, "Mom, you’re right. I should be happy every day, so that the baby I give birth to will be a happy one too, right? Hehe..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yulan realized her daughter-in-law understood her meaning, and she too felt pleased, "That’s the way it should be. From now on, tell me whatever you want to eat, and I’ll make it for you. Right now, in this house, you’re number one."

Seeing her smile, Cheng Xue felt even more tender inside, "Okay, thank you, Mom. I’ve been in a bad mood recently, so I’ve treated you poorly. Mom, I apologize to you, I’m sorry."

Saying this, she earnestly and sincerely bowed to Liu Yulan.

"Oh, you child." Liu Yulan hurriedly reached out to support her, "We’re all family. When you and Jia Bao got married, I said I’d love you like my own daughter. Even teeth can bite the tongue sometimes, let alone people with their own thoughts."

"It’s just, it’s good to have thoughts, but you have to express them in time. This time we forgot, didn’t communicate well, otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many issues." Liu Yulan said earnestly.

Cheng Xue listened humbly, nodding repeatedly in agreement, "Mom, you’re so right. I’ll remember it all... Mom, I want to eat spicy fish tomorrow, and the baby wants to eat it too..."

"Okay, I’ll make it for you, but with less chili. Eating too much can cause heat, you and the baby have to be careful, be good now..." The reason Liu Yulan liked Cheng Xue at first was because of her lively and playful nature.

If Cheng Xue wanted to, with her playful ways, few could resist her.

After this small friction, the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law seemed more harmonious and intimate.

As for the child’s gender issue, neither of them brought it up.

Some things are best left unexplored, and everything is fine with tacit understanding.

It’s impossible to say that Liu Yulan doesn’t hope for Cheng Xue to give birth to a boy.

Cheng Xue’s concerns were not unfounded.

But Liu Yulan also knows that having a boy or girl is fate and cannot be forced.

Now the policy is as such, and as a soldier, Wang Jia Bao should set an example.

So, everything can only be left to fate. Now she only hopes the child can be born healthy, and Cheng Xue’s health as a mother becomes especially important.

Nourishing soups should still be consumed, but they shouldn’t be the same every day, as that can become tedious.

A newborn mostly sleeps in the first month, eating when full, sleeping when satiated. They grow fast; in a month, their little face changes quite a bit.

Today is the child’s one-month celebration. Yang Zhigang went enthusiastically to the train station early in the morning to meet guests from their hometown.

"Second sister, this little one is truly robust." Wang Miaomiao herself had twins twice, and twins are naturally small when born, so in comparison, this little baby is indeed robust and pleasing to look at.

"Yes, he was over seven pounds at birth, and after a month, I estimate he’s around ten pounds now." Wang Pandi looked at her brother in her sister’s arms, smiling with kindness and happiness.

Wang Zhaodi watched from the side with envy, "Second sister sure is lucky, having another child. Finally, you got what you wanted. But, second sister, now that you have a son, don’t neglect your daughter... I noticed Guai Guai doesn’t look as healthy today as usual..."

"Big sister is joking, I naturally take care of all my children equally." Wang Pandi’s smile faded a bit, and she looked at her with a probing gaze. What did she mean by her words, what was she trying to do?

Wang Zhaodi regretted her words immediately after saying them. She couldn’t stand the affectionate scene between the two sisters and slipped up in the moment.

But what good did this slip of the tongue do? None at all; it only made the two of them unhappy with her.

"Big sister spoke too much, second sister, don’t take it to heart. I think Guai Guai looks quite good; she was laughing and chatting with Zeng Er just now, as if they’re one person." Wang Zhaodi quickly added with a smile, able to be flexible, as she had flattered others before outside, adeptly in fact.

However, due to pride, she didn’t like using this skill on the Wang Family and would often appear with a superior demeanor when visiting.

Wang Miaomiao and Wang Pandi exchanged a look, both showing helplessness in their eyes. To be honest, they didn’t understand why she came if they weren’t particularly close, nor why she didn’t speak much when she did. When she finally spoke, it was something unpleasant, followed by attempts at soothing. They really couldn’t figure her out.

Wang Miaomiao hadn’t paid attention to Wang Zhaodi’s situation for a long time. Although they both lived in Beijing now, everyone was busy with their things and would never specially invite her over for private gatherings.

So, it seemed that their opportunities to meet hadn’t increased just because they lived in the same city. Instead, Zhu Zicheng had more contact with Yang Zhigang and Jiang Yan.

Wang Zhaodi’s current life wasn’t going well, somewhat repressed.

Zhu Zicheng’s business was getting better and better, and he changed to a bigger house this year, bought a new car. Especially Zhu Zheng, who successfully transferred to Jing University Affiliated Primary School, in the same school as Yang Qingwen.

Speaking of this, it has to be mentioned that when she found out Yang Qingwen had transferred to Jing University Affiliated Primary School, she felt a pang of bitterness. They had worked hard to finally get Zhu Zheng into this school, but still had to spend a lot of money.

But Yang Qingwen? She later found out it was Wang Miaomiao who helped. As a teacher at Jing University, she had a spot. Having a supportive aunt really made a difference, getting into the best school with ease.

But wasn’t Zhu Zheng also her nephew? Why such a huge difference? At its root, the Wang Family hadn’t included her in their circle.

She had her pride too. Sometimes she thought if they wouldn’t help, she could get her child in herself, which gave her a sense of pride. It’s true—you can only rely on yourself, not others.

The living standards of Wang Zhaodi’s family have seen significant improvement. Yet she still feels empty.

The intense feelings of disparity that arise from time to time often make her lose control of her temper.

Like now, she regrets it deeply and unusually refrains from maintaining a haughty demeanor, engaging in casual conversation with everyone.

Actually, if she wants to, it wouldn’t be hard to integrate, because nobody would deliberately make things difficult for her.

Especially on such a wonderful day, who wouldn’t want to get along peacefully, even if it’s just pretending with insincere pleasantries.
