Chapter 709 The Forgotten House
After dinner, when the family had cleared away the dishes, Zhou Tian sent the children out to play by themselves, and asked his wife to send Chen Yaning back to the second courtyard. After his wife came back, he called the family together again. He first looked at Shen Yulin, who kept his head down and dared not look up.
Then she looked at her confused mother-in-law and said, "Mom, Yulin wants to go back to work, but she wants to ask for your opinion?"
"work?"
Mother-in-law Li Yuling was stunned at first, then her beautiful eyes glanced at the faces of several people, and then looked at her daughter. She suddenly realized something and couldn't help laughing.
"Xiaotian, is this girl afraid that I won't agree, so she asked you to talk to me?"
Li Yuling knew her daughter very well. Although they had many conflicts over the years, in the final analysis, what parent doesn't love their own children?
But now looking at the family's expressions, it is obvious that they must have discussed it all, especially the old man and the old lady, who don't have the slightest look of surprise on their faces. It must be that the son-in-law has done the work in advance.
The reason why she said this now was that she didn't believe that she would agree to Shen Yulin going to work. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but laugh in her heart.
"This, Mom, is not Yulin's idea, this is my idea!"
Hearing his mother-in-law's question, Zhou Tian touched his nose and said guiltily.
"Okay, I don't know you yet, Xiaotian, you never lie, but whenever you lie you always touch your nose!"
Li Yuling looked at her uncle with amusement, then looked at her daughter: "Tell me, what do you think?"
At this time, Shen Yulin heard this and looked up at her mother and said, "Mom, you know that I have liked Chinese medicine since I was a child, but later I got married and became pregnant, so I had to leave the hospital. But now the children have grown up, and I also want to continue to pursue my own dreams, so...so I would like to ask you to support me!"
"Is it that simple?"
Li Yuling suddenly asked.
"Yes, it's that simple!"
Shen Yulin was no longer afraid and spoke with courage.
"Okay, I agree!"
Under the gaze of several people, mother-in-law Li Yuling agreed without hesitation.
"Mom, do you really agree?"
Shen Yulin couldn't believe her ears, and a look of joy suddenly appeared on her pretty face.
"Of course I agree. Just as you said, the reason why I didn't want you to continue working was because the children were still young and your body wouldn't allow it. Now that the children have grown up, why should I disagree?"
Li Yuling said, looking at her daughter with her beautiful eyes, and sighed slowly: "But you, girl, didn't tell me when you got home, but told Xiaotian first, Mom gave birth to you in vain, no wonder the saying goes, a daughter who is married off is like spilled water, her elbows turn outward!"
"Mom? I'm afraid you won't agree to this, right?"
After Shen Yulin got the answer she wanted, she no longer felt conflicted and walked up to her mother, hugged her arm and said coquettishly.
"Alright, alright, you're already a mother of eight children, do you think you're still young?"
Although Li Yuling was very happy that her daughter was always sticking around her, she still tapped her forehead mercilessly.
Seeing that his daughter-in-law's affairs were going so smoothly, Zhou Tian couldn't help but smile. The family sat for a while, then left the east courtyard and returned to their own homes.
When she got home, the daughter-in-law was still excited: "I am so happy to be the head of the family. I didn't expect that mom would really agree!"
You know, ever since the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law moved into the Zhou family, the two have always been at odds with each other because of the children, and they even had a very fierce quarrel at one point. But now that the daughter-in-law's matter has been settled, the relationship between the two has suddenly returned to what it was before.
This may be the difference between mother and daughter and between father and son.
"Okay, I told you that my mother-in-law wouldn't disagree. Now you can rest assured!"
Zhou Tian looked at his wife's happy expression and felt inexplicably happy in his heart. After all, he hadn't seen his wife so happy for a long time.
"Yeah, I didn't expect that either. I was ready to have a big fight with her!"
As Shen Yulin spoke, she couldn't help but lean on her husband and told the truth.
"You, don't quarrel with your mother-in-law so easily in the future. In fact, I think my mother treats you very well!"
Hearing this, Zhou Tian looked at his wife helplessly. He really couldn't understand why a mother and daughter who obviously cared about each other so much would always quarrel over trivial things.
Is this the unique way mother and daughter get along with each other?
He really couldn't understand.
"Humph, of course I won't. I have a very good relationship with my mother, head of the family, so don't talk nonsense!"
Unexpectedly, when Shen Yulin heard what her husband said, she immediately retorted unhappily.
"Okay, okay! You have a good relationship. A good relationship means you always quarrel at least three or four times a month!"
Zhou Tian rolled his eyes speechlessly. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes over the years, he would have believed what his wife said.
"Humph, you don't know, the more we quarrel, the closer we become!"
Shen Yulin said this stubbornly, but for some reason she didn't sound confident at all.
"Okay, okay, I believe it, okay? By the way, since my mother-in-law has agreed, when do you plan to go to work?"
Zhou Tian didn't want to discuss the complicated mother-daughter relationship between her and her mother-in-law anymore, so she changed the subject and asked.
After all, it is almost the end of the year and the children are about to go on vacation. When Wuxiao comes back from secondary school, I am afraid it will be difficult for her to go to work this year.
Sure enough, as Zhou Tian said this, a hint of difficulty appeared on Shen Yulin's pretty face.
Although she wanted to go to work as early as possible, she also knew that if she went to work before the New Year, she would definitely not be able to take care of her family, especially as the end of the year approached, there were more and more things to prepare at home, and she was getting busier and busier.
After thinking for a while, she finally said, "Boss, I'll go back to work after the New Year! What do you think?"
"It's up to you, but I'm afraid you won't have time to cook for the children then!"
Zhou Tian smiled and said that although Changping was not too far from home, it was not close either. If his wife went to work at the Chinese medicine hospital, she would definitely not be able to come back at noon.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel moved: "Wife, what do you think if we can also get a house in Changping?"
"Boss, are you serious? You don't work at the Red Star Research Institute anymore, so you can still get a house?"
When Shen Yulin heard her husband say this, a smile suddenly lit up her pretty face and she asked.
"Well, of course it's true. Actually, I also have a house in Changping, but my family didn't have any requirements for a house at the time, so I forgot about it a long time ago!"
Zhou Tian touched his nose and spoke insincerely, but he did not dare to look at Shen Yulin.
