Reborn in the Seventies: Pampered Wife, Owning some Farmland

Chapter 271: Chapter 271: Just Not Pointing It Out_1
 

Yun Lei gently moved Zhao Fang’s hand away, “Then why are the New Year’s gifts given to my parents different from those you carry home to your parents? Our daughter is nearly ten, we’ve been doing this for ten years, ten years! I know you’re aware that my parents didn’t want me to marry you, and it’s because of this you’ve had no respect for them.”

These words struck Zhao Fang hard, and she collapsed onto the floor in shock. She looked up at Yun Lei in disbelief. Was this still the same man who had loved her and shielded her?

When did he change? When did it happen?

“Xiaofang, as my younger siblings have said, there are certain things I’ve just chosen not to point out. I’m not a fool. I anticipated this from my parents and didn’t say anything, but this is the aftermath of letting things go. I was just waiting for the day you would notice you’ve been bringing less for the New Year’s gifts. Given your nature, I fear if I hadn’t pointed it out, you would’ve been in the dark forever.”@@novelbin@@

“I’m tired, I’m going back to my room.” Yun Lei stood up without sparing Zhao Fang a glance and left.

This left Zhao Fang alone with her shock.

He knew. He had known all along but chose not to say anything.”

The second day of the lunar year was the day for returning to one’s maiden home. As their father had suggested it earlier, Yun Hai and Yun Lei’s families didn’t go back to their maiden homes.

Yun Men took with her the sugar and a bag of flour that Meng Yunhan had brought on his last visit to her mother’s house.

And Yun Shuang, along with her husband and children, took meat, sugar, and some cakes to her mother’s house.

But Meng Yunhan came empty-handed this time, without Little Huzi on his back and carrying nothing.

With the exception of Yun Hao, virtually all of the Yun Family had gathered.

“Hanhan, why didn’t you bring Little Huzi?” Yun Shuang asked Meng Yunhan, thinking it was his first visit back since the New Year began.

“My father took him to visit some relatives,” Meng Yunhan responded, brushing off the question.

Yun Shuang was taken aback when she saw her eldest and second eldest brothers. For years they had always gone to their wife’s maiden homes on the second day of the New Year. Why were they here now?

She feared that Xiaomen had relayed their conversation to their mother.

But it’s just as well, just as well.

“Since everyone is back home, let the kids go out and play. We have matters to discuss in the living room.”

Zhang Cuihua, looking at her stern-looking father-in-law, and seeing her third sister-in-law had also returned home, was puzzled about what was to be discussed.

“Xiaoliang, you’re the eldest, so why don’t you take your siblings and go out to play.”

Yun Mingliang nodded, “Alright.”

The children, aside from the two still nursing, all went outside to play.

“Everyone, take a seat.”

Yun Men took a seat next to Meng Yunhan, and Zhang Jiang stood behind them.

Everyone found a seat.

Yun’s father glanced over at them, “I’ve called you all here today to discuss elderly care. Your mother and I are old and we can no longer work.”

“Father, didn’t you say before that you’d be staying with the third younger brother’s family? Now why….”

Zhang Cuihua, already bitter about their previous conversation, started to retort when she heard the father say this. She was cut off by Yun Hai, who sharply pulled at her sleeve, “Be quiet, listen to father.”

The conversation Yun Lei had the previous day seemed to have calmed Zhao Fang, as she didn’t rush to protest.

Once their father started talking about elderly care, she understood. This meeting was to discuss that matter.

Everyone in the family, except for the one in the army, had returned.

Yun Hai looked at his father and said with a hint of remorse, “Father, go on, please continue.”

Yun’s mother glared at Zhang Cuihua.

“Raising a child for old age, is exactly why we raised you. Now we’ve reached an age where we no longer can work.”
