The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly
Chapter 1391 - 514: I Am the Evil Nanny (Part 16)_3
She did not mention breaking up with Feng Mingtang again; instead, she followed the original plan and married Feng Mingtang.
After the marriage, the Feng Family indeed left the Provincial City just as agreed.
Even Mr. Zhou secretly felt satisfied.
After marriage, Zhou Rujin enjoyed sweetness with Feng Mingtang while quietly observing.
She was not in a hurry to have children but wanted to further confirm whether Feng Mingtang was truly worthy of her lifelong trust.
It’s not that she didn’t trust her partner, but the people from the Feng Family were too detrimental!
Zhou Rujin was very clear-headed, understanding once she had children, she would be entangled with the Feng Family indefinitely.
Plans couldn’t keep up with changes, though.
Less than a year into the marriage, Zhou Rujin unexpectedly got pregnant.
Faced with this unexpected child, although she felt it was sudden, she did not consider abandoning it.
Zhou Rujin was somewhat worried that the Feng Family’s Parents might use this as an excuse to come to the Provincial City.
Under the pretense of care, it was actually to add trouble.
Luckily, the Feng Family’s Parents did not violate their initial promise; upon hearing the good news, they only called Zhou Rujin and sent some local specialties from their hometown.
Seeing her in-laws like this, Zhou Rujin felt relieved but couldn’t help feeling a bit guilty—
Am I being too harsh?
After all, they are Mingtang’s biological parents, my Mother-in-law?
Perhaps their mindset is overly outdated and conservative, but they are not bad people.
Being vigilant like this seems a bit inhumane.
On Feng Mingtang’s side, he appropriately showed remorse and reluctance towards his parents.
When chatting with Zhou Rujin, he casually mentioned his family’s poverty and how hard his parents worked to support his education.
He didn’t deliberately complain, but in that casual tone, it made Zhou Rujin feel even more sympathetic.
Thus, Zhou Rujin once again compromised and suggested bringing the Feng Family’s Parents to the Provincial City to take care of them.
Feng Mingtang initially refused, "Let’s not. My parents are used to staying in the old house, they would be uncomfortable in the city!"
"And it’s not me being unfilial; in some aspects, my parents are indeed a bit wrong!"
"For example, their preference for boys over girls, I always advised them not to be too blatantly biased between me and my sisters. But at most, they treat my sisters better, still seeing me as their only hope!"
"Also, some of their habits don’t fit in with the city folk. If a conflict arises, they get upset, and you suffer, which I can’t bear!"
The more Feng Mingtang spoke like this, the more Zhou Rujin felt she owed her husband.
Her husband considered her at every turn, while she wasn’t willing to tolerate for her husband.
Oh well, it’s just a pair of somewhat top-grade in-laws.
Talk about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts, they persist across time and cultures.
Even marrying into a family of equal standing, there would still be mother-in-law issues.
Her husband compromised not because he was marrying up into the Zhou Family, but for her, Zhou Rujin.
"Honey, you care about me, I care about you too!"
"You are the only son of your Old Feng Family; your in-laws worked hard supporting your education, they rely on you!"
"Now, we are living well in the Provincial City, yet the in-laws are working back home, it really doesn’t seem right!"
"Since I’m pregnant, let’s bring them here. Let them live in that apartment, and they can watch the child while we can look after them!"
Zhou Rujin’s words were sincere and heartfelt, making it hard for Feng Mingtang to refuse.
He was deeply moved, "Honey, you’re the best! I knew I married the best woman in the world!"
Zhou Rujin’s eyes were filled with sweetness as she secretly thought, once the in-laws came, as long as they weren’t overly unreasonable, she would turn a blind eye.
After all, it’s just enduring and compromising, all for the husband!
Moreover, while the in-laws might be top-grade, her husband is a reasonable and sensible person.
With him around, the in-laws shouldn’t cause too much trouble.
However, reality proved Zhou Rujin still too "naive".
This time when Mr. Feng and Mrs. Feng came to the Provincial City, they didn’t engage in outright antics like last time.
They acted like all doting parents, humble and pitiful.
Towards the noble daughter-in-law from a good family, they catered in every way, almost setting up a pedestal to worship Zhou Rujin.
Not just the surrounding neighbors or relatives and friends, even Zhou Rujin herself felt a bit embarrassed.
Unconsciously, Zhou Rujin began to compromise, started to yield to the Feng Family’s Parents.
When Mrs. Feng proposed some baffling requests, Zhou Rujin didn’t immediately reject them but rather tacitly agreed.
Zhou Rujin, in the maze herself, did not notice.
It was Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou who hadn’t been easily fooled by the Feng Family, sharply identifying the problem—
Their daughter, cherished in their hands, was being coaxed by Mrs. Feng into doing household chores!
This, this...
