Chapter 5

Zhao Fang, the second son’s wife, started to feel uneasy. They were both daughters-in-law, but when she used to get up late, she was scolded by her mother-in-law. Now that it was Meng Yunhan’s turn, her mother-in-law couldn’t help but beam with joy. Was it just because Meng Yunhan was an educated youth?

The eldest son’s wife felt a bit uncomfortable too. But who could help it if the one in charge favored the younger brother? If they said anything, their mother-in-law wouldn’t spare them.

So they swallowed their dissatisfaction.

Fortunately, there was no work to be done in this winter day, so they didn’t need to go to work.

Although Yun Hao was nestled quietly in his wife’s arms, he could still hear the voices from the yard.

“Hanhan, let’s get up.” If they didn’t show up soon, their sisters-in-law would probably be unhappy.

Yun Hao wiped the tears from the corners of Meng Yunhan’s eyes with his fingers, his heart hurting for her. But Meng Yunhan just lowered her eyelids. Soon she looked up at Yun Hao, resolved in her heart: Even if this was a dream, she would continue this dream, never waking up.

“Okay.” Meng Yunhan was beautiful, but her laughter was even more so, almost making Yun Hao not want to leave the house.

Yun Hao took out Meng Yunhan’s sweater, wool pants and cotton jacket, but a shy Meng Yunhan didn’t dare to look at Yun Hao.

By the time they finally left their room, it was already ten minutes later.

Meng Yunhan touched her black hair, thinking of how she had lost all of her hair due to undergoing chemotherapy for cancer.

And this dream had taken her back to her once lost husband.

Upon seeing everyone in the room, Meng Yunhan smiled and greeted her father-in-law and mother-in-law first, then blushed as she said, “Dad, Mom, sorry for waking up late.”

Her parents-in-law saw Meng Yunhan’s tear-stained eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.

Meng Yunhan was already stunning, and now, with her eyes reddened from crying, her beauty wasn’t diminished. Instead, it added an extra touch of frailty to her, making her even more beautiful.

“Only this time.” Her mother-in-law quasi-joked, as she noticed the second daughter-in-law’s changed expression.

She served tea to her parents-in-law, and her mother-in-law gave Meng Yunhan a ring while glancing at her two daughters-in-law. “This is for you. When your sisters-in-law first joined the family, they each had one too.”

Meng Yunhan was a bit taken aback; back then, her mother-in-law had never given her a ring.

Yun Hao picked up the ring and put it on Meng Yunhan’s finger in front of everyone. Meng Yunhan had the strange feeling that the previously oversized ring now fit perfectly on her finger.

She didn’t dwell on this further.

She cheerfully greeted her brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, and gave a red envelope to each child.

Upon seeing the red envelopes, Zhao Fang, the second son’s wife, finally broke into a smile.

The eldest of the Yun family, Yun Hai, had always known that his younger brother was fond of the petite and handsome Meng Zhiqing. Now taking a closer look, Meng Zhiqing really was beautiful, making her and his brother a perfect couple.

This was really like praising one’s own melons while selling them.

Yun Hao was the tallest in the family, standing over 1.8 meters, while Meng Yunhan barely passed 1.6. One was sturdy, the other petite. Where could they see the golden boy and jade girl?

It wasn’t that Yun Hao was unattractive. Yun Hao was the handsomest among the children of the family. Because he was a soldier, he had developed a muscular build, making him look quite sturdy. Furthermore, compared with Meng Yunhan’s fair and smooth skin, one was white, the other black.
