\u201cEven if she can\u2019t beat you, you still need to be cautious.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou two have been at odds for so long\u2014it\u2019s only natural that things might come to a head.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mrs. Du remained concerned that her future son-in-law might be taken by someone else.<\/p>\n

Du Yumeng responded with a hum, \u201cMom, I understand.\u201d<\/p>\n

She wasn\u2019t the least bit worried that Huang Li could steal Zhan Yiyang away.<\/p>\n

If he really could be taken, it would mean she had misjudged him and loved the wrong person.<\/p>\n

\u201cMom, Sister Tong has given birth to a son. She\u2019s already been discharged from the hospital and is now resting at home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Du Yumeng shifted the topic, updating her mother about Haitong\u2019s delivery.<\/p>\n

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Du said, \u201cThen your father and I will go to Wancheng in a few days to bring gifts to Madam Zhan.\u201d<\/p>\n

Previously, there had been no interaction between the two families.<\/p>\n

But now, with Zhan Yiyang actively pursuing her daughter\u2014and the Du family quietly acknowledging him as a potential son-in-law\u2014it felt appropriate to start forming ties. His sister-in-law giving birth to the Zhan family\u2019s first child of the next generation gave them a good reason to visit and send gifts.<\/p>\n

It was time for both families to begin interacting more formally.<\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t seen Zhan Yiyang lately. I assume he went back to Wancheng?\u201d Mrs. Du asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, his sister-in-law gave birth, so he went back to see her. He didn\u2019t even tell me\u2014just left on his own. If he had said something, I would have gone with him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI get along well with Sister Tong. Even putting aside my relationship with Zhan Yiyang, knowing she\u2019s had a baby, I should visit her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mrs. Du replied, \u201cWe can wait until the full moon celebration to make the trip.\u201d<\/p>\n

Haitong is the eldest lady of the Zhan family. Once Tang Junye retires, she will become the matriarch of the Zhan household.

Since her daughter would eventually marry into the Zhan family and become the fourth lady, Mrs. Du felt it was wise to build a good relationship with the future head of the family in advance. That way, her daughter wouldn\u2019t have to worry about fitting in after marriage.<\/p>\n

Thinking about how the women of the Zhan family were all top-tier daughters from elite families across the country\u2014graceful, well-educated, and well-mannered\u2014Mrs. Du realized her concerns were probably unnecessary.<\/p>\n

Her daughter\u2019s future sisters-in-law weren\u2019t the type to cause trouble, and her daughter certainly wouldn\u2019t allow herself to be bullied.<\/p>\n

There really wasn\u2019t much to worry about.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlright, I\u2019ll definitely visit when the full moon celebration comes. Mom, when you and Dad go, please pick up some extra nutritional supplements for Sister Tong. Even if she doesn\u2019t need them, it\u2019s the thought that counts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mrs. Du replied, \u201cI know. Don\u2019t worry\u2014I\u2019ll handle everything properly.\u201d<\/p>\n

She also saw this as a good opportunity to bond with her future in-laws and discuss how the young couple would live after marriage, making preparations in advance.<\/p>\n

Du Yumeng yawned. \u201cMom, I\u2019m sleepy. I\u2019m going upstairs to rest. Don\u2019t wait up too late\u2014Dad\u2019s not a child.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mrs. Du glanced at the time. \u201cHe should be back any minute now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Just then, the sound of a car came from outside.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Du immediately stood and said, \u201cYour father\u2019s back. I\u2019m going out to see what he caught tonight. I\u2019ll make you some fish porridge tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

She walked out of the house happily.<\/p>\n

Du Yumeng smiled, then headed upstairs alone and returned to her room without waiting for her parents to come in.<\/p>\n

Beep\u2014<\/p>\n

Du Yumeng\u2019s phone buzzed. She had received a new WeChat message.<\/p>\n

It was from Zhan Yiyang.<\/p>\n
