Things before and after marriage

Chapter 73
On May Day, Chen Cheng came back to L City with his mother-in-law and Lingyu.

Because Chen Ling and his wife got married without a banquet, Lingyu's mother only met Chen Cheng's parents twice, and never went to his house.

When Chen Cheng's mother came to visit for the first time, she warmly greeted her in-laws, and Zhou's mother was a straightforward person. The two parents had a good chat and went shopping and cooking together. Lingyu was also happy and relaxed.

However, my mother-in-law's enthusiasm lasted only one day.The next day, Lingyu obviously felt something was wrong.

When she woke up in the morning, her mother-in-law started to be cold-faced and cold-spoken when she saw her, and even Lingyu ignored her on purpose to chat with her, which had never happened before.

Lingyu pretended to be nonchalant, and laughed carefully along with her. She thought about it carefully, did she seem to have made her unhappy?

Is it because of pregnancy?
But Mingming's mother-in-law caught Lingyu and asked her about it at noon yesterday, she was just a little disappointed.He only asked Lingyu to work harder, and said that she had been pregnant with Chen Cheng for a long time, so she should not be discouraged and take good care of her body.

Lingyu thought about it and came to the conclusion that her mother-in-law started to give her cold eyes after she came back from the street with her mother yesterday afternoon.Could it be that the two mothers had a quarrel in the street?

However, if there is a quarrel, it is also aimed at the mother!How can you change your attitude towards yourself?
Lingyu really couldn't figure it out, she didn't know what she did wrong, which made her mother-in-law unhappy.

It seems that I have to ask my mother carefully if any unpleasant things happened when the two went out.

So, after lunch, Lingyu said to take her mother to climb a mountain near Chen Cheng's house.Famous for its hen-like shape, this mountain straddles the two provinces of Guangdong and Hunan. It is a typical Danxia landform and is worth seeing.

Chen Cheng agreed with it very much, and invited his parents to go for a walk together.The two elders postponed it on the grounds that they were tired of watching it all their lives.

While resting in the mountain pavilion, Chen Cheng went to the bathroom, Lingyu asked her mother, "You went to the street with my mother-in-law yesterday, did she say anything?"

"No. She's very polite and considerate."

"Really. What are you talking about?"

"It's not about Chen Cheng. She keeps praising Chen Cheng, saying that he is obedient, filial, handsome, honest and motivated, etc. She also said that the girl who grew up next door liked Chen Cheng since childhood, and has never married yet. Well. I have seen people who praise their children, but I have never seen such a compliment. Mommy reminds you, you have to remember that Chen Cheng is her treasure, and you must not say that he is not good at all, otherwise your mother-in-law will definitely Flip."

Lingyu took it for granted, she had been a daughter-in-law for more than two years, and she had already figured it out.In front of my mother-in-law, you can only say that Chen Cheng is good, and you must not say anything bad, otherwise it will cause a family crisis.

Unexpectedly, my mother realized the essence of it just after one day.I have to say that my mother is still very discerning when she is old and mature.

But, what is the reason that the little girl next door has never been married?I haven't heard Chen Cheng mention that there is such a childhood sweetheart.

She glanced at Chen Cheng who came out of the bathroom, and it seemed that he had to find a chance to interrogate him. With his honest appearance, no one would believe his lies!

The three of them continued to climb up, although it was already May, but the road along the way was a forest path, which was cool and refreshing, which was very appropriate.

When you get to the top of the mountain, you can see the mountains in the distance, lush and green. Overlooking the mountain, a small town is quietly and peacefully hidden in it, which feels quite isolated from the world.

Zhou's mother sighed, "The mountains on your side are all stone mountains, which are difficult to develop, but it is rare to retain their original appearance. If they are like those in G City, they will have to be dug up to build houses sooner or later."

Chen Cheng nodded, "Yes. There are advantages and disadvantages. Because of these mountains, this place will never develop."

"Not necessarily, it mainly depends on the commercial value. Isn't the coast of our hometown also a stone mountain, and the developer still digs the mountain and fills the sea for development."

Lingyu passed the water bottle to her mother, and she also twisted a bottle of water to drink.

"Well, speaking of the sea, your mother said she hasn't seen it yet. I asked her to go to our place for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I took her to the beach to have fun for a few days. It just so happened that the house we bought was handed over in July, and we can live in it then. up"

Lingyu's right eye jumped suddenly, her heart skipped a beat, her throat hurt from choking on water, and she coughed up tears.

She drank a few sips of water and patted her chest several times, which made her feel better.

"Did you tell my mother-in-law about buying a house by the sea?"

"Say it. She asked if staying at the seaside was expensive. I heard you said that she was very thrifty. I was afraid that she would not go there because she was worried about spending money, so she said that the house she bought didn't cost money."

"Then did you say that we paid for your house?"

"I said it. Your father and I are very happy that you two are so filial. I also praised Chen Cheng for being filial to both of us, saying that she raised Chen Cheng very well!"

Lingyu finally found the crux of the matter, she couldn't help but wiped her sweat with her forehead, and sighed helplessly while rubbing her sore throat.

Just now, she praised her mother for being mature and sharp, but who knew that she dug such a big hole for her to jump into!

Chen Cheng also frowned when he heard this. He also noticed his mother's indifferent attitude towards Lingyu today, and he was still surprised.

Now after listening to it, it is clear to him that knowing his mother is like a son, he still knows his mother's temperament very well.

Zhou's mother looked at the expressions of the two, "... Doesn't the in-laws know about this?"

Lingyu gave her a look of thanks to you, "Now I know!"

Only then did Zhou's mother realize that she seemed to have caused a catastrophe.

"Are you okay? My mother-in-law didn't say anything at the time."

Chen Cheng took her water bottle and put it in his backpack, "It's fine. I'll take her to mom's house after the Mid-Autumn Festival, but I'll trouble you and dad."

"This child, speak such kind words. It's all about the family."

When going down the mountain, Chen Cheng stretched out his hand to hold Lingyu's hand, and shook it firmly.Whispered, "If your mother makes things difficult for you, don't argue with her."

This is the first time the two have had close contact since the Cold War in the past month.But he didn't expect that it was to protect his mother, not the business trip with Xiao Hong that Lingyu had been looking forward to.

Lingyu couldn't help being disappointed, angry in her heart, she threw her hands and went after her mother.
