BXBX NOVEL Chapter 68 - In Laws Are Here!
Some items were new but some items like the cooking wok were preowned.
When Chen Mi first married to Yu Dong, Mother Chen came searching for her son. She immediately recognised Chen Mi and wanted to take him away but Yu Dong really liked Chen Mi at that time, Unlike the yellowish complexion of Shen Li and Ye Liu, Chen Mi was pale and good looking, he was treated fairly well by his parents and thus, he was a beautiful mer. So, Yu Dong didn\'t let him go, in the end, Mother Chen had to leave under Yu Dong\'s threat even when she didn\'t want to, at that time she gave Chen Mi two taels to eat something good. But as soon as Mother Chen left those two taels were confiscated by Yu Dong who then went to the town to gamble.
" mother!" Chen Mi unlike Yu Dong wasn\'t stiff or awkward at all when he saw that his mother came to see him. He hurried out of the house and threw himself in his mother\'s arms, rubbing his head in his mother\'s bosom like a little child. It has been two years! Two years since he last saw his parents how can he not be happy?
" Alright, alright, why are you still acting like a child? you are a father now, stop acting so immaturely" said Mother Chen though she spoke like she was annoyed, one could easily see the slight curl of her lips. When she left Chen Mi at the Yu household only she knows how excruciatingly painful it was for her, she wanted to take Chen Mi away but the woman her son married was like a mad dog, drunk and violent. Every day she would worry about her Mi, if not for her anger and worry for her son, she wouldn\'t have kicked her second sister and her family out of her house. She was the eldest and took the responsibilities of her younger siblings but that was until her bottom line wasn\'t touched.
And her bottom line was her kids, her second sister\'s daughter dared to touch her son, so even if she has to carry the tag of unfilial and crazy for caring about a mer so much, Mother Chen was willing.
Because that was the least she could do.
Daddy Chen on the other hand could tell that Chen Mi\' complexion was better than before, even better than it was when he lived with them. Finally, his fatherly heart settled down and all his worries eased, he smiled at the mother and son and then spoke teasingly "do you only miss your mother and not your daddy? Where is your daddy\'s hug?"
Chen Mi who was hugging his mother immediately blushed when his daddy teased him, nonetheless, he let go of his mother and hugged his daddy" I missed you both daddy, it\'s good that you came to see me"
" we would have come sooner if not for someone -" whispered Mother Chen harshly but her daughter poked her in the ribs and the latter turned silent, she believed that she was a blessed woman when she married the mer of her choice and gave birth to three filial kids but then her son was forced to marry Yu Dong after that Mother Chen firmly believed that she must have done a lot of sins! Or else how can such a debt collector become her son\'s wife!
Yu Dong who just walked out of the house felt she was stabbed while lying down - ah! I didn\'t do anything! I wasn\'t the one who chased you away! Don\'t ask me to pay for sins that I didn\'t commit!
Yu Dong felt wronged, she wasn\'t at fault here but just like every other time, she has to pay for what the previous owner did! How frustrating!
Chen Mi, however, pulled back and wiped the tears in his eyes" mother, don\'t worry. My wife treats me really well now. And she no longer drinks or creates unnecessary troubles, now I no longer need to worry about anything. My wife doesn\'t even let me work, I only eat and sleep every day, she says that I only need to take care of little bun and nothing else, see - don\'t I look fat ?"
Mother Chen examined her son more closely than before, and sure enough, her Mi looked a bit chubbier than before. His once sharp jaw was now a bit round and his sunken cheeks were meatier.
" it\'s good to have a child, didn\'t I tell you ?" daddy Chen wiped the tears in his eyes and cupped Chen Mi\'s face as he smilingly gazed at his son, as if wanting to imprint Chen Mi\'s face in his mind forever " look after having a child, that girl is all responsible and nice to our Mi. And you said that I was talking the foolish talk, now what do you have to say?"
