Chapter 20

Regardless, Meng Yunhan had to get up, forcing herself through every bit of the process. She tried to summon the energy to tidy herself up, but it felt like every bit of her strength had been sucked out. She moved step by step out of her bedroom door.

The Yun Family’s two daughters had arrived early. Seeing their brother, but not their sister-in-law, was a bit unsettling to them.

You didn’t return to your parent’s home, but we, the daughters who are married off, came back. Why aren’t you here to greet us? Do you look down on us?

Of course, the two sisters-in-law were displeased, but out of respect for Yun Hao’s presence, they didn’t show their dissatisfaction. Today’s visit was to look after their parents and to see how Yun Hao and his wife were doing.

Meng Yunhan struggled her way into the main room. All eyes turned to her, and she greeted them with a weak smile.

Yun Hao saw that she was awake and walked over to her.

Following this, the two sisters-in-law watched as their sister-in-law went out with Yun Hao.

“Mom, what’s wrong with the third sister-in-law?” Yun Men, the youngest sister-in-law, asked surprisedly, “Did my brother hit her?”.

On the other hand, the eldest sister-in-law, Yun Shuang, pinched Yun Men, “You’ve already had a child, don’t you understand?”

Their mother couldn’t believe that her son would act this way and felt sorry for her childless daughter-in-law. Looking at Yunhan’s legs, she sighed emotionally, wondering if two eggs were enough to replenish her strength.

Yun Men still looked lost.

“Mom, even though my little brother just got married, this…” Yun Shuang was too embarrassed to finish her sentence. Although she had been through marriage, childbirth, and rearing children, she still found it hard to discuss such matters with her younger brother.

“Your little brother is returning to the army unit tomorrow.” their mother sighed.

If he had stayed at home, she would certainly have spoken to him about this matter. However, he was returning to the army the next day, so how could she bring it up?

After a long delay, Yun Men finally realized the situation. She was staring at the spot where they left for a long while before finally moving her gaze. “My third brother is quite something,” she said.

Her words were met with a knock from their mother, “Don’t say that in front of your third sister-in-law. She’s very sensitive.”

“Mom, I think my little brother and his wife have a great relationship. Now you don’t have to worry.” Yun Shuang was like a comforting blanket. She remembered how worried their mother was when she found out that her son would marry Meng Yunhan. Now, she could finally put her worries to rest!

“I don’t need to worry indeed. Your sister-in-law is quite skilled at cooking. I just don’t know if you’ll be able to eat her dishes at noon today.” their mother laughed lightly. Earlier, she saw her youngest son took his wife to the kitchen as soon as she woke up.

“Mom, will our sister-in-law join Ahao in the army?” As the eldest sister, Yun Shuang was worried about her little brother who was almost thirty and just got married. Now he was married, yet she was concerned about them having a baby. Ahao was a soldier and could hardly come back home throughout the year, but what about having a baby? They couldn’t wait for several more years before starting a family, so she decided to ask.

“Ahao didn’t mention anything.” their mother instantly understood her daughter’s worries, but if her daughter-in-law left as well, her teaching job might be jeopardized. Could Ahao’s income alone support his wife and child?

“Mom, little brother will be thirty next year. Look at the village, the people his age already have several children.”

Their mother knew this all too well. She had repeatedly brought up this topic with Xiaohao, but he had always managed to divert the topic. Now he was finally married, and she wanted to be a grandmother as soon as possible.
