God knows how much Xu Zhiyi wanted to live in a house in Nuange Garden.
She had decorated this house herself, and she particularly liked the location. After dinner, she and Octavia could take a walk in Nuange Park.
She also thought about planting sunflowers on the two large terraces.
She was unwilling to live in Mingzhai from the bottom of her heart.
not free.
No matter how tolerant the elders are, they can't change the fact that Mingzhai is not her territory.
Her freedom was limited by their tolerance.
Thinking of this, she spoke carefully:
"Dad, Mom, I know you are doing it for me and the child in my belly, and I accept this kindness.
However, I still want to live in Nuange Garden with Mingrui and live a world of two.
To be honest, if you think about it carefully, we don't have much time to live in the world of two people. When the child is born, we won't be able to survive even if we think about it.
Don't worry, we will take good care of the child in our belly.
Besides, this is only two kilometers away from Nuange Garden. We can come here at any time, it doesn't make any difference. "
She originally wanted to say that the living habits of young people are different from theirs, and she was afraid that no one would adapt to living with them. Distance brings beauty, so it would be better to live separately.
On second thought, she struggled to find an excuse to do something, and directly stated her thoughts. This was what she learned from Octavia and Hua Yue.
Didn't Octavia say that she is the biggest now? Just in time, she tested whether what he said was correct.
As soon as the words fell, the expressions of the four elders became subtle.
Seeing this, Mingrui was about to speak, but Zhou Lan spoke before him:
"Zhiyi, are you still worried about me? Are you afraid that you won't get along with me if you live in Mingzhai?
Regardless of whether it's true or not, in front of everyone, I want to express my position. I did something inappropriate in the past and hurt you. It's just right. Today I formally apologize to you. I'm sorry, Zhiyi.
I have been undergoing psychological treatment for the past six months. The doctor said that I have adjusted well. I think that the previous things will not happen again in the future. Don’t worry.
I sincerely hope that you two will live in Mingzhai. "
Zhou Lan's words were something Xu Zhiyi didn't expect.
Once bitten by a snake, she has been afraid of well ropes for ten years. It would be a lie to say that she doesn't care about Zhou Lan at all.
After that incident, she had always had a shadow in her heart. When she saw Zhou Lan, the scene of her naked upper body and Zhou Lan suddenly pushing the door open came to her mind.
The nonsensical thing that happened made her always feel that if she was with Zhou Lan, she would do something nonsensical at any time, making her unable to guard against it.
Now, Zhou Lan was talking down to a junior like her in front of everyone. If she continued to hold on to that matter, it would appear that she was going too far.
Xu Zhiyi said quickly:
"Mom, my father apologized to me on your behalf for that matter, and my sister-in-law also said that, today you apologized to me in person. I sincerely accept it, and I am no longer angry with you.
It's been a long time since this happened. No matter which way you look at it, it's over. We won't mention it anymore, okay? "
Mingrui also said: "Mom, Zhiyi is right. This matter is in the past and will not be mentioned again. As for the matter of living in Mingzhai, let Zhiyi and I think about it. Okay, Zhiyi and I are also tired. Let’s go rest first.”
As soon as the two of them got up, Ming Liang suddenly said:
"Granddaughter-in-law, my grandparents also hope that you two can live with us. Hey, there are only four of us old guys living in Mingzhai. It's too deserted.
Don't worry, we won't take advantage of you when you move in. You young people can do whatever you want, and no one will talk about you. "
Xu Zhiyi glanced at the four elders and saw the expectant expressions on their faces, and was in a dilemma.
As soon as the two returned to their house, Mingrui was called away by Ming Huaiyuan.
Xu Zhiyi looked at the suitcase, and for a moment, he didn't know whether he should pack it or not.
It stands to reason that this suitcase should be moved to the house in Nuange Yuan. Now it is placed in Mingzhai. Before the opinions are unified, she will not be able to take it directly to Nuange Yuan.
Huh? No, from beginning to end, Octavia didn't express its position.
Did he want to...
No, no, Octavia won't.
When Octavia comes back later, she will ask him directly.
After that, Octavia kept busy, and she didn't get a chance to be alone with him until before going to bed.
Seeing him come out of the shower, Xu Zhiyi hugged his waist from behind, put her face on his back, and said coquettishly:
"Husband, I don't want to live in Mingzhai. Let's go live in Nuange Garden, okay?"
Mingrui turned around, held her in his arms, gently raised her chin, looked at her beautiful face, and hesitated, "Honey, the current situation is special. I want you to live in Mingzhai with parents. , and your grandparents will take care of you, so I won’t have anything to worry about.”
Xu Zhiyi asked in confusion: "What worries do you have?"
Octavia patiently told her his current situation in the company.
After that, his work will be very busy, and business trips will be the norm, moving between Shanghai, Pingcheng and Acropolis.
Xu Zhiyi is now pregnant, and as the months grow older, she needs someone to accompany her.
If he goes on a business trip, no one will accompany her. He is worried about leaving her alone at home and living in Mingzhai, so he no longer has this worry.
"Wife, don't worry. You are the oldest living in Mingzhai. No one will say anything about you. Everyone will surround you. Just relax. This is your home. My husband asks you to consider it, okay?"
Octavia looked at her and kissed her lips.
Xu Zhiyi lowered his eyes, "Let me think about it again."
Since then, she has been struggling with contradictions.
The next day, Octavia went to work directly without taking any time off.
Xu Zhiyi had breakfast with Mingliang Feng Xiaoyu, Ming Huaiyuan also went to work, and Zhou Lan went to a nearby real estate company.
The surrounding real estate company was recently bidding for the development and construction project of the new cemetery in Acropolis, and Zhou Lan accompanied Zhou Feng to smoothen the relationship.
Usually, there are only the old couple at home, which is really deserted.
After finishing breakfast, Feng Xiaoyu said before Xu Zhiyi could say anything:
"Zhiyi, I see you have a bad appetite. Do you want to eat the food cooked by your mother? Then go back to your parents' house. You can stay there for a few days if you want. We all understand. Let the driver take you there."
A smile immediately appeared on Xu Zhiyi's face, "Yeah, grandma, you are so kind. My mother and I haven't seen each other for a long time, and I miss her so much. Grandpa, grandma, I'll leave now."
Feng Xiaoyu smiled and waved his hand, "Go ahead, go ahead."
She brought gifts for her family and went to her parents' house early in the morning.
When we arrived at our parents' house, it was just after nine o'clock in the morning. At this time, Xu Cheng and Xu Zhian were both at work.
She originally thought that Li Zijuan was the only one at home, but she didn't expect that her sister-in-law Xu Hong was also there.
The three of them had not seen each other for a long time, and they were particularly affectionate.
There was no overnight feud between mother and daughter. When they met again, they had long forgotten their previous unpleasantness and had endless things to talk about as before.
Xu Zhiyi was worried about living in Mingzhai, and Xu Hong happened to be there, so she asked them directly for their opinions.
Xu Hong's opinion was very direct, and she was determined not to live with her parents-in-law, otherwise there would be endless lawsuits in the future.
She told her from her own personal experience that when she lived with her parents-in-law, whenever the couple had something serious, they would side with their son and target their daughter-in-law.
without understanding.
Because in their eyes, the wife is always an outsider, and they are a family.
Finally, Xu Hong emphasized:
"Zhiyi, you have to believe my sister-in-law. Only if you live separately from your parents-in-law can your husband and you be a family member. It is possible, but not certain. If you don't live separately, you will never be!"
Xu Zhiyi's heart became even more confused and she looked helplessly at Li Zijuan, "Mom, what's your opinion?"
