My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1442 The Arrival of Person Nine

"Master, I was just joking with Grandma Wang."

After leaving Xu Qingya's courtyard, Li Ran hurriedly explained, "My master's wife is very good to me."

"Know"

Zhang You replied with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't tell your master's wife."

Judging from Li Ran's reaction, there is still a considerable gap between her master and mistress. However, this is inevitable. Not to mention Li Ran, even Xiao Zishan is now being neglected by her mother.

With her two precious sons born, Jiang Yiren's attention is entirely focused on them. Han Hui often says that her Yiren is traditional, and she is indeed quite traditional. Even in this modern society, her thinking is still stuck on the idea that "sons are more important than daughters."

I wonder how my two darlings will perform after starting school, given how high my expectations and hopes my diva has placed on them. I hope they won't be disappointed.

Noticing that Li Ran's down jacket zipper wasn't closed properly, Zhang You reached out and zipped it up for her, then put the hood of the down jacket over Li Ran's head. Yesterday, the homeroom teacher had posted a reminder in the parents' group to keep their children warm, probably because there's another flu outbreak around now.

Anyway, this thing always comes back every few years.

However, Xiao Zishan and Li Ran are in relatively good health. Unlike other children who often catch colds, fevers, or coughs, they do experience these symptoms less frequently compared to other children.

I knew you wouldn't tell.

Li Ran said with a smile.

"Whether your master goes abroad or not, you don't need to worry. Although your master's wife likes Jiang Ziyi and Jiang Zichu more, she is still quite good to you. You see, she and Zhang Zishan bicker from time to time at home, but she never says anything to you. Do you know why??"

Zhang Yougang asked this question.

Before Li Ran could answer, her rosy cheeks flushed red again under the streetlights.

Zhang You chuckled and said, "Don't overthink it. It's not that we want you to be her daughter-in-law. It's just that you're good at studying, play the piano well, and are well-behaved. And haven't you noticed? Not only do your teacher's wife and I like you, but even your sister Qingya and your Grandma Wang like you a lot. Haven't you noticed? When you called Xiaolanlan's mother 'Grandma' tonight, she didn't say anything to you. If it were Xiaozishan, she would have jumped up and down."

Hearing her master say that, Li Ran was stunned for a moment, then seemed to remember something and immediately responded with a few "uh-huhs". When she walked into her own courtyard, the girl also laughed.

As Zhang You closed the courtyard gate, Li Ran said with a smile, "I think Zhang Zishan is quite nice. Last night, I didn't tuck my blanket in properly, and she helped me tuck it in. It's just that sometimes she makes me call her 'sister,' saying I'm not as old as her."

"Next time she asks you to call her that, just tell her to give you the money she has with me as a greeting gift."

Zhang Youzhen really didn't know about this.

However, it's understandable that the two girls would chat about topics they found interesting in private, especially since Xiao Zishan even bickers with her mother from time to time, so it's normal for her to bicker with Li Ran as well.

Just because someone isn't good at studying doesn't mean they don't have fun in life.

When it comes to having fun, Xiao Zishan is quite adept.

"Master, you're so naughty!"

Li Ran commented, then added, "Zhang Zishan really loves money. It's not easy to swindle money from her. She'd rather not have me call her 'sister' than give me any money."

"Then use your brain and think of a solution."

Zhang You replied with a smile.

As long as the two girls don't fight, Zhang Youcai won't interfere too much!

Upon entering the living room on the first floor, Li Ran squatted down to look at the kitten lying in its cat bed, stroked its head twice, and said, "You have to be a good boy/girl," before turning and going upstairs.

Zhang Youchao glanced into the cat food bowl and saw that Sister Ma had left some of the leftovers from dinner for the kittens, so he didn't say anything. Anyway, the big bag of cat food he bought was definitely going to go to waste.

"Master's wife, I'm back."

Running up to the second floor, Li Ran immediately called out to Jiang Yiren, who was sitting on the sofa holding her son.

"Oh, you've become quite enthusiastic after going out tonight," Jiang Yiren laughed. "I've packed your clothes, go take a shower now. Don't wash your hair tonight, just wash it every other night from now on. Washing it every night will damage the cuticle layer on your scalp."

"understood"

Li Ran responded.

"Didn't you see me?!"

Sitting on the sofa, Xiao Shan spoke up.

“Didn’t see it”

Li Ran grabbed her clothes, tossed her head, and walked into the bathroom.

You filthy thing!

Xiao Zishan laughed and said, "Wait until you're done showering and back in your room, then see how I deal with you."

"How do I clean this up?!"

Jiang Yiren asked curiously.

"What's it to you?"

Xiao Zishan immediately rolled her eyes.

Jiang Yiren wanted to get angry, but noticing her husband looking at her, she picked up her son and headed to the room. She was just looking for trouble, knowing full well that the brat didn't get along with her, yet she still asked. Now she was satisfied... because the brat had retorted to her.

However, just as she was about to step into the second bedroom, Jiang Yiren stopped and said to Xiao Zishan, who was still sitting on the sofa watching TV, "Zhang Zishan, I don't know if your dad will go abroad, but let me tell you clearly, if he does, you won't have a good time. Then you'll know that you can't cry for help from heaven or earth."

"I'm not afraid of you."

Xiao Zishan wasn't worried at all. But after saying that, she immediately looked at her father and said, "Dad, did you hear what Mom said? For your daughter's safety, you're not allowed to go. You should stay home and protect your daughter. She needs protection right now."

"How old are you?! You still need protection!?"

Zhang You asked with a smile.

"No matter how old she is, she's still your daughter."

After saying that, Xiao Zishan jumped off the sofa, put on her slippers, walked to the door of the second bedroom, leaned against the door frame, looked at Jiang Yiren lying on the bed, crossed her arms and said, "Mom, I apologize for my attitude towards you just now. Will you forgive me?"

"roll"

Jiang Yiren scolded irritably, then said angrily, "Look at yourself right now! If I didn't know you were here to apologize, I'd think you were plotting a coup! You have no manners, no posture, Zhang Zishan, is this how I taught you?!"

Xiao Zishan lowered her hand, stood up straight, and asked again, "Is it okay now!?"

I still prefer how you looked just now.

Jiang Yiren rolled her eyes.

"Oh"

Xiao Zishan nodded and immediately returned to her previous standing posture.

Jiang Yiren was so angry she really wanted to beat this brat up. The more she looked at her, the angrier she got. Mr. Zhang was largely to blame for how this brat had become; it was all because he had spoiled her.

Just like now, he's standing to the side laughing, and he's laughing quite happily, as if he's amazed by how outstanding his daughter is.

Indeed, he is outstanding... If we don't rank him in the right direction, but in reverse order, he would still be a top student in the class.
