Lin Jianguo nodded and said, "Yes, it's just so happens that my son-in-law is here on a business trip. It's safer for you to go back with him than to take a car back by yourself."

"If it weren't for my son-in-law coming, I was planning to take you there when you went back. It would be a good opportunity for you to get acquainted with the place and know where my son-in-law's house is. I can then send you the mushrooms I dig up from the mountain in the future."

Shen Qingshu paused, of course he didn't want them to go, in case they heard something they shouldn't, the situation would be hard to control.

No matter how spoiled Lin Fengjiao is, she's just an inexperienced fool who's easy to coax. But these two old hags are different. If they really notice something's wrong, there will be a lot of trouble.

He smiled politely: "Dad, don't worry, I only applied for this business trip because I knew my wife was here."

"Driving is tiring, but the most important thing is to bring my wife home safely. She ran away from home by herself before, which scared me to death, and that's why I lost my temper with her."

"I'm just worried that she's too naive and doesn't know how bad people can be outside. What if she gets tricked?"

Lin Jianguo nodded emphatically in agreement, saying, "Yes, what my son-in-law said makes sense. It was wrong for Fengjiao to run away from home. It's our fault as her parents for not teaching her well. She's been spoiled since she was little and doesn't know how to be afraid."

"Go back and have a good talk with her, so she won't forget."

"Let me tell you, Fengjiao, if you dare to run away from home again, don't even mention whether your son-in-law can forgive you or not, we won't let you off the hook either, do you hear me?"

"Why can't we talk things out properly? You're so willful. What's wrong with your son-in-law being a little harsh with you? He's only doing it for your own good, so you should listen to him."

Lin Fengjiao knew she was in the wrong, so she pouted and muttered softly, "I know, Dad, I won't do it again next time."

Seeing this, Shen Qingshu pretended to feel sorry for her and said, "Father, please don't be harsh with her. I think she has learned her lesson this time and will definitely not run away from home again. Actually, this matter is also my fault."

"I was too busy and didn't take good care of my wife's feelings, otherwise she wouldn't have gone back to her parents' house in a huff. It's my fault."

"Sigh, after my sister's husband died, she was kicked out by her in-laws and almost couldn't survive. I had no choice but to temporarily support my two nephews."

"Once she settles down and we have our own children, we'll let her take her back."

Zhang Lan quickly interjected, "Don't say that. Fengjiao married you, so your family is her family too. Your sister is in trouble now, so what's wrong with her helping out as her sister-in-law?"

"My dear daughter, when you go back, try to change your temper. Take good care of the children. If you treat them well, they will remember your kindness in the future. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

The main purpose is to make life easier for their daughter in her husband's family, so that she can accept and be well taken care of. In the future, Shen Qingshu and his sister will owe their daughter a huge favor.

Why can't this silly girl know to hold on tight? Why does she have to make such a fuss? She's so clueless.

Lin Fengjiao muttered a sullen "oh," she really couldn't like those two children, they were too annoying, she had never seen such bad children, they were so unlike her sister-in-law.

Oh well, maybe he inherited it from that short-lived father.

"Achoo, achoo~~"

Zhang Lan asked with concern, "What's wrong, son-in-law? Are you cold? The temperature in the countryside is lower than in the city, especially in the mornings."

"When are you going to handle your work? If you're cold, wear your dad's coat to keep warm."

Shen Qingshu rubbed his nose and smiled good-naturedly: "I have to leave as soon as it's light tomorrow. I need to start work at eight o'clock, otherwise I won't make it in time."

"It's alright, Mom, don't worry. I'm young and fine. My nose was just a little itchy, probably because you've been nagging me. I'll call home later."

"Okay, we've installed a phone line at home, you can make the call."

"Yes, thank you, Father and Mother."

After dinner, Shen Qingshu took advantage of his father-in-law and mother-in-law's absence to make a phone call. After waiting a while, he made another call, and this time his mother answered, sounding somewhat impatient.

Zhao Jinhua said impatiently, "Son, have you seen your wife yet? When are you going to bring her back? I need to look after the two children, and your father needs someone to take care of him too."

[Your mother isn't made of iron. You should get her back to take care of the child. Have her bring your father food to the hospital at noon and in the evening, and let your mother rest and enjoy some peace and quiet.]

[What daughter-in-law is like her? I think she's ungrateful. I gave her a big gold bracelet, and she ran away from home. When she comes back, give her a good beating to teach her a lesson.]

Shen Qingshu quickly covered the receiver and lowered his voice: "Mom, I'm at my father-in-law's house now. I just finished eating. I'm calling you back so you won't worry if you can't reach me."

Don't worry, I'll pick her up after this business trip is over. She can take care of the child, and I'll leave the meals to her.

Zhao Jinhua snorted: "That's more like it. Who did you go on this business trip with?"

[Director Yun.]

[He's your deceased wife's father. How come you went on a business trip with him? If he's picking up your wife, won't they run into each other in the car?]

Your father-in-law knows everything about you. If he lets something slip and your wife notices something's wrong, it won't do our family any good.

Hearing the hushed voice, Shen Qingshu hummed in agreement: "I understand what Mother means. I know how to handle this. Don't worry, it won't be discovered."

"Alright, Mom, just hang in there for two more days. We'll be fine once we get back. Thank you for your hard work, Mom. Take all the money in the drawer and buy some good food."

Hearing her son say this, Zhao Jinhua couldn't help but smile: "Yes, my son is the most filial. Your sister is a waste of money; she doesn't even hand over her earnings to me."

[How could I have given birth to such a dim-witted sister? When something happens, she doesn't know how to stand up for her own family, but instead sides with your wife, saying I've gone too far in bullying people.]

[Hmph, this is nothing. I remember how I lived under my mother-in-law's thumb. Your wife is really living the good life now. You're ungrateful.]

Shen Qingshu gave a few words of advice and then hung up.

After washing up, Lin Fengjiao pulled him into the yard to look at the stars: "Look, the countryside has its advantages too. The air is fresh, and the stars are beautiful at night."

"Yes, that's good. I'm leaving first thing tomorrow morning. Fengjiao, stay home and don't wander off. I'll drive back to pick you up."

"Okay, I won't wander around."

"Just before I left, I went to visit my friend Meizi. She's a very good friend of mine. I owe my face recovery to her, not because she said Wen Yao was good at healing faces."

"I probably didn't know that coming to the countryside would make my face look terrible. On the first day, I squeezed out a lot of pus and blood, which was disgusting."
