Chapter 128 – I’ll explain it to you tonight when we get home (4)

Shen Jing yanked Cheng Wan’s sleeve and signaled with her eyes to stop talking.

“Zhenzhen ah, what do you think…”

Before Shen Jing could finish speaking, three middle-aged women came over with their adult children in tow.

The group of people all started talking at once to introduce themselves to Ye Zhen.

“Zhenzhen ah, I’m your second aunt. Your dad’s younger brother’s wife. I gave you a red envelope last year!” Second aunt pulled forward her son, who was taller than her. “This is my son, Ye Lin. You guys used to love playing together when you were kids. You guys frequently placed house together. Do you remember that?”

“I’m little aunt, your dad’s younger sister. Do you remember me? You used to love to cling to little aunt when you were a kid. But over ten years went by in a flash. I’ve been away at work until now. You probably already forgot me.”

“Zhenzhen, I’m your aunt from your mom’s side. Let aunty see your belly.”

“She’s only a month pregnant. What could you possibly see?” Second aunt sat down next to Ye Zhen and intimately held her hand. “Zhenzhen ah, second aunt has been pregnant before. Let me tell you that the first trimester of pregnancy is especially important. After all, the baby hasn’t taken form yet. You have to take good care of yourself and the baby.”

“With Beichuan around, ZhenZhen will be fine.”

“I could tell right away that Beichuan is the doting type. Look at Zhenzhen’s clothing and jewelry. He’s definitely very thoughtful!”

The three women went on and on. If they weren’t complimenting Ye Zhen’s clothing, they were guessing the price of her necklace. In short, they envied her for marrying a good man.

“Even back then, I knew that Zhenzhen was a clever and honest child. Heaven surely wouldn’t treat her badly, and I was right. She married into a good family. What good fortune.”

“And she’s pregnant now. Once the child is born, that’s when she’ll really be enjoying the good life.”

“Qingqing ah, do you have a boyfriend? Your younger sister is already married and pregnant. Why isn’t anything happening with you? I would have thought you would have gotten married before your younger sister. Who would have thought Zhenzhen would get there before you?

“That’s what I used to think too. Qingqing ah, you have to work harder. Is there any young fellow that you like? If you don’t, second aunt can introduce you to some guys.”

Ye Qing, who had been ignored until now, could only put up an unnatural-looking smile. Her voice sounded bleak when she answered, “Thank you, second aunt. You don’t need to worry about me. I have my own plans.”

“What do you mean you have your own plans? You’re not young anymore! You’re at the age when you should be finding a husband. Don’t delay and waste your youth. Once all the good men have been taken, it’ll be too late for you and you’ll be left feeling anxious.”

“Yeah, Qingqing, don’t have unreasonably high standards. Don’t be picky. If you find a guy, just settle if he’s good enough. Not everyone can have Zhenzhen’s good fortune in marrying a good man.”

Ye Qing looked at her relatives and fake smiled.

This time last year, these same relatives had told her to not rush in getting married. They had said with her excellent qualifications, she should take her time in choosing a partner for marriage and not be careless about it. But now, they were laying a pile of praises at Ye Zhen’s feet while telling her to not be picky.

Hadn’t they only changed their tune because Ye Zhen’s husband is Lu Beichuan?

They were just fickle snobs.

If this had happened in the past, Ye Qing would have erupted in anger.

But now, she could only endure.
