Chapter 726: Chapter 726: The Split Was Proposed by Him Chapter 726: Chapter 726: The Split Was Proposed by Him Song Shiya and the others softened their attitude towards Zheng Zhiyuan after hearing what he said. Still, they were not as friendly as before; after all, their own daughter and cousin had been bullied in the Zheng Family, and they had almost lost their lives. Anyone would feel uncomfortable in that situation.
Zheng Zhiyuan actually resented his eldest and second sisters-in-law, but firstly, the situation yesterday was indeed urgent and he could not attend to that, and secondly, as they were all one family, he could not possibly go up and hit his sisters-in-law. It was best for the Yue Family to intervene, since those two sisters-in-law did indeed deserve a lesson.
Luo Jialin had suffered so much, and it was a good opportunity to divide the family home now. As for the other branches of the family, whether they split or not was not his to control, but it was fine as long as he could separate his own small household.
Luo Qiao checked her cousin’s pulse again and nodded, “You don’t need to worry about anything. Just focus on your postnatal care and recuperate from your previous ordeal.”
Luo Jialin was touched. Her cousin made her feel very secure, and although they had not grown up together, she could truly sense the strong blood ties between them.
Seeing that time was getting on, Luo Qiao said, “Sister Jialin, I should be going now. Yichen and Stone are still waiting outside.”
Luo Jialin nodded, “Okay, go ahead. It’s a pity I can’t join you today.”
Zheng Zhiyuan patted her hand, “Once you’ve completed your postnatal care, I’ll accompany you and we’ll visit Cousin Third together.”
Just as Luo Qiao was about to leave the room, an unsympathetic-looking old lady came in, followed by the husband of the woman in the next bed. As soon as the old lady entered, she began to scold, “Nag, nag, nag. A bunch of heartless people, do you want this old woman’s life?”
The man behind her said in a low voice, “Mom, this is a hospital. There are other people in this ward. Please keep your voice down; don’t disturb their rest.”
The old lady gave a glance around the ward and said, “I’ve had this loud voice all my life, and besides, this is a hospital, not their home. They have no right to complain about people speaking loudly.”
Seeing this, Luo Qiao thought, sure enough, like mother-in-law, like daughter-in-law. A family doesn’t stray into another.
She quickly left the ward and found Lu Yichen and Stone; together, they headed towards the house Luo Siyan had bought.
By the time they arrived, there were already quite a few people in the courtyard. Knowing that Luo Qiao had been in the delivery room assisting with the birth the night before, they all warmly greeted her as she entered.
Zhou Guifang smiled, “Did you manage to get some sleep after going back?”
“Yes, Grandma, I rested a bit before coming over.”
“That’s good. Find a place to rest.”
“I’m well-rested, let me help you prepare the vegetables.”
“Has Qiaoqiao arrived?”
“Sister-in-law.”
“Grandma told me you hadn’t rested all night yesterday. Stop picking vegetables, go inside and rest a bit.”
“No need, I went back and caught up on sleep this morning.”
“Then take it easy. If you feel tired, go inside for a rest.”
The two cousins came over, “Qiaoqiao, did you go to the hospital?”
“Yes, I went to check on Sister Jialin’s condition after lunch.”
“How is it, nothing serious, right?”
“Nothing serious, she just needs to recover.”
“That’s good, that’s good. She wasn’t awake when we left this morning.”
When the preparations for the meal were nearly complete, Luo Qiao found a moment to pull Grandma Zhou Guifang aside and relayed her cousin’s wishes.
Zhou Guifang’s face turned dark, and after a while, she asked, “What does your brother-in-law mean?”
Luo Qiao said, “He has behaved rather well, the idea to divide the house came from him.”
After hearing this, Zhou Guifang’s expression lightened somewhat, “Alright, I’ve taken note. Let’s talk more after the meal. Tomorrow, we’ll all go over to the Zheng Family together, and you’ll come too.”
Luo Qiao nodded, “Okay, we’ll go together tomorrow.”
Today’s meal was very sumptuous, and everyone raised their glasses in a toast to wish the young couple a happy life and the early arrival of a precious child.
The young couple’s faces turned red with embarrassment.
After the meal, Luo Qiao brought out another rice cooker, “Grandma, when you go back, take one with you. It’s very convenient for steaming rice.”
“You keep it for yourself at school. We don’t need this.”
The eldest cousin-in-law came over, “Grandma, this is Qiaoqiao’s way of showing her filial piety. Please keep it. It’s especially convenient for cooking rice, and you don’t have to worry about burning the pot. It switches off automatically once the rice is done and then keeps it warm.”
