Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Seeing how happy Zhou Zheng was, Huihui was elated too. “Dear, now that our son is born, don’t you think you should call your parents to tell them about this good news? We should tell them that they’ve become grandparents again at the very least. Dear, what do you think we should name our son?” action

She had given birth to a son for the Zhou family. She was truly a great contributor to the Zhou family! She did not believe that the two old foggies would still stand on the side of that daughter from Qiao Zijin once they heard about the news of her giving birth to a son. She believed that they would just drop everything and run straight to the hospital. Once they arrived, just wait and see how she would deal with those two old foggies.

They should not think that she could be easily bullied just because she had not said or done anything in this one year. With this son, she would make a comeback in the Zhou family.

Huihui made up her mind that she had the final say in who got to hold her son in the future since she was the one who had given birth to him. If she was in a good mood, she would let Father and Mother Zhou carry their grandchild. If she was in a bad mood, Father and Mother Zhou should not even think of touching even the corner of her son’s clothes.

One had to reciprocate what was given to them. Now that she had given them a grandson, should they not do something for her as parents-in-law?

She thought about how female celebrities not only received rewards from their husbands for giving birth to sons after marrying into a rich family, but they would also receive rewards from their parents-in-law. She did not have extravagant requests. All she wanted was to stay in a big house. She had to have whatever Qiao Zijin had gotten when she had married into the Zhou family. But now that she had already given birth to her son, she had no intention of reorganizing another wedding. But all that money that should have been spent on that wedding should be handed over to her in cash.

She was already giving in by not asking for additional compensation.

Even though Father and Mother Zhou did not like Huihui as their daughter-in-law, they still loved their grandchildren, whether they were boys or girls.

Upon receiving their son’s phone call, the elderly couple did indeed head down to the hospital happily to see their grandson. That day had not been a weekend, so Zhou Xing, who had not yet changed her name, was at school. It was just as well for Father and Mother Zhou to visit their grandson.

But in the end, Huihui gave the excuse that she had to feed her son and that her son was not feeling well and about to cry to prevent Father and Mother Zhou from coming into contact with her son. Father Zhou was upset with the situation, and Mother Zhou seemed to have gotten a clear picture of what was going on. She knew very well that this was Huihui trying to play a trick on them again.

Mother Zhou’s expression hardened and she sneered. “All right. Your child is still young. It’s best for him to rest and eat more. It’s more important for him to stay by his mom’s side. Anyway, I’m not very familiar with you, so I won’t really be able to help you out. How about you ask your mom to help you out during your confinement period? You should be quite happy for your mom to help you out with your confinement period. When a person is happy, the body recovers faster. Your dad and I won’t disturb your rest any longer. Remember to give us a call once you’ve decided on your child’s name.”

Zhou Xing’s previous name, Zhou Ying, was given to her by Mother Zhou.

Today, she had not even been able to touch the hand of her grandson. Immediately, she understood that something like giving her grandson a name would never be her call to make.

Humph! Who liked thinking of a name anyway? It was such a chore. She could not care less about it. If they had the guts, they would not even give him the surname ‘Zhou’!

With that, Mother Zhou left in a huff, pulling Father Zhou along.

Mother Zhou was not Huihui. When Huihui spoke, it was full of loopholes. If an intelligent person were to listen and pick apart her words, they would immediately be able to see through Huihui’s dissatisfaction and grievance in between the lines. But Mother Zhou’s every word had been for the good of Huihui and her son. Even if Huihui were to analyze Mother Zhou’s words, she would never find anything to criticize.

Huihui had never in a million years expected such a response from Mother Zhou. Once the elderly couple left, Huihui stared wide-eyed in shock at Zhou Zheng and burst into tears. “Zhou Zheng, what do your parents mean by this? I’ve just given birth to a son for the Zhou family, but they didn’t even praise me. They even slapped me in the face! Zhou Zheng, are we still going to live together?”

Huihui had even wanted to raise her head high and puff her chest out in front of Father and Mother Zhou, but the elderly couple was having none of that! They treated her harshly in the past and were treating her even more harshly now. The elderly couple did not even care about the son that she had just given birth to.

Zhou Zheng looked at his sleeping son awkwardly and helplessly. “Who’s to be blamed here? Even I can tell that you’re throwing a tantrum at my parents and you’re deliberately not letting my parents carry their grandson. Haven’t I told you about my mom’s temper? There’s no one in this world that my mom will let bully her. By saying these things before she left, she was already leaving you some dignity on the account that I’m her son.”

If he had been the one who had done that, his mom would have punched him in the face before leaving.

Because he knew all too well about Mother Zhou’s temper, Zhou Zheng understood that Mother Zhou had already been very restrained in her actions today and had left the young couple with some dignity. Mother Zhou was not only capable of doing more extreme things, but she had also done so in the past. “Huihui, didn’t you say that you would try to understand my parents and mend the relationship between you and them? My parents were already willing to come. But why did you not want to let them carry our son?”

Had she not seen that his parents had taken the initiative to visit them upon learning that they had given birth to a son? Zhou Zheng had been very encouraged by the fact that his parents had come to visit his son. Zhou Zheng had been depressed about his cold relationship with his parents. He could not help but think that his family of five was still able to live harmoniously together even with Qiao Zijin’s bad temper. But why was it that his family was turned upside down now that the good-natured Huihui was around?

Without his parents around, and even with Huihui around, Zhou Zheng always felt ill at ease. He did listen to Huihui’s words, but every time he did what Huihui instructed him to do, he felt uneasy. The confidence that he got when listening to his parents was not there.

“Why should I let them carry my son? Are there grandparents like them? They already knew that I had just given birth to a son. Do you think it’s appropriate for them to come and visit their daughter-in-law empty-handed? Let’s forget about them neglecting their daughter-in-law. But isn’t our son part of the Zhou family? Isn’t he their grandson? I’m just feeling aggrieved on our son’s behalf that they didn’t prepare any gifts for our son!”

Huihui was upset. She had claimed such a huge victory for the Zhou family, giving birth to a son, the only successor of the Zhou family. But even then, her parents-in-law had been so petty and had not even made any effort to thank her. It was not just this time. In the future, she would still never agree to her parents-in-law carrying her son!

She had acted tough today, and there was still a long road ahead of her. She wanted to see whether her parents-in-law would be so obstinate in the face of their own grandson. Her son was her son, after all. She would have the final say about how to raise her son. In the future, her son would definitely listen to her and stand on her side.

Thus, Huihui decided to grasp Zhou Zheng tightly in her hands in an act of defiance.
