Feast for Shengsheng

Chapter 1026 He never intended to have children so early.

For a long time, only Su Zhenzhen went to the Zhou family's house, and after a while, she became somewhat resistant to it.

When they first got married, things were fine; Zhou's mother didn't ask about the children.

Recently, the inquiries have become increasingly frequent.

So much so that Su Zhenzhen began to wonder if there was something wrong with her.

In addition, Zhou Jingyan was always away on business trips, so only Su Zhenzhen went to the Zhou family home.

The pressure from Zhou's mother was even greater.

So after a while, Su Zhenzhen would start to avoid him.

Although Zhou's mother didn't say anything, she was still unhappy with Su Zhenzhen.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Jingyan came downstairs and saw Su Zhenzhen already tidied up and sitting in the living room.

The housekeeper had just finished preparing breakfast: "Mr. Zhou, Madam, breakfast is ready."

Zhou Jingyan nodded in acknowledgment and led Su Zhenzhen to have a meal together.

It remains the same: Zhou Jingyan in Western style, Su Zhenzhen in Chinese style.

Su Zhenzhen remained quiet during the meal.

Zhou Jingyan didn't urge him.

It wasn't until Su Zhenzhen looked up at Zhou Jingyan that she asked, "What if Mom asks about the pregnancy?"

Su Zhenzhen sighed, "It seems like there's been no movement at all."

"I'll handle it," Zhou Jingyan said succinctly.

Actually, after getting married, he never intended to have children so early.

If Zhou's mother is urging her to hurry up, and Su Zhenzhen is willing herself, then Zhou Jingyan will not object.

The two of them definitely didn't use any contraception, but there was no news and they couldn't do anything about it.

Children generally understand that what is happening now is inappropriate.

Therefore, Zhou Jingyan will not let Su Zhenzhen bear this pressure alone.

"What are you going to do?" Su Zhenzhen was starting to have a headache.

Since ancient times, if a woman fails to conceive, elders will not blame the man, but will question the woman.

It's a suspicion that the woman has a problem.

Although Zhou's mother didn't say it explicitly, Su Zhenzhen understood the meaning behind her words.

"Don't worry, my mother won't say anything if I tell her. You don't need to take this kind of thing to heart in the future," Zhou Jingyan coaxed softly.

Su Zhenzhen simply said "oh" and didn't say anything else.

After finishing breakfast and tidying up, the two went directly to the Zhou family's house.

They would only have lunch at the Zhou family's house and leave in the afternoon.

Su Zhenzhen started to get nervous when the car stopped at the Zhou family's house.

Zhou Jingyan calmly held Su Zhenzhen's hand.

The two walked towards the Zhou family's house.

It's unclear whether Zhou Jingyan had spoken to his mother beforehand or what.

Surprisingly, Zhou's mother did not ask about Su Zhenzhen's pregnancy.

The meal was neither particularly good nor bad.

However, Su Zhenzhen's nervousness never subsided, and she remained very tense.

After lunch, Zhou Jingyan was called to the study by his father, a routine matter between the father and son.

Su Zhenzhen has gotten used to it.

After Zhou Jingyan left, Zhou's mother looked at Su Zhenzhen.

Instantly, Su Zhenzhen got goosebumps.

Zhou's mother was all smiles, but the more she smiled, the more nervous Zhou felt.

It wasn't until Zhou's mother walked up to Su Zhenzhen that she said, "Zhenzhen, come and have some snacks."

"Thank you, Mom," Su Zhenzhen said politely.

Zhou's mother sat down and chatted with Su Zhenzhen.

At first, they asked about Su Zhenzhen's job, but then the conversation turned to who had a grandson and whose daughter-in-law was pregnant.

When this topic came up, Su Zhenzhen felt a chill run down her spine, but she couldn't show her emotions in front of Zhou's mother, so she could only grit her teeth and listen.

Because Su Zhenzhen knew that eventually, this topic would involve pregnancy.

Even if it wasn't mentioned at the dinner table, people probably knew it was because Zhou Jingyan was there.

Now only the two of them are left.

"Zhenzhen, haven't you heard from her yet?" Zhou's mother sighed and asked Su Zhenzhen.

“Jingyan has been quite busy lately,” Su Zhenzhen said, bringing up Zhou Jingyan as an excuse.

“As you know, he’s always on business trips, and his schedule is almost entirely public knowledge,” Su Zhenzhen continued.

This is a fact, and everyone knows it.

She's not home, so she couldn't possibly be pregnant on her own, right?

If she were actually pregnant, that would be truly unbelievable.

Zhou's mother was aware of this, but she had no intention of letting Su Zhenzhen off the hook.

"I know Jingyan is very busy. I just feel that since you are Jingyan's wife, if one person is busy, the other should take care of the family." Zhou's mother said calmly.

This was a stark contrast to his previous gentle and relaxed demeanor; his tone had become serious.

“The Zhou family doesn’t lack the money to support a daughter-in-law. I don’t object to you working; I also think it’s better for women to be independent. But there are priorities in everything.” Zhou’s mother was educating Su Zhenzhen.

Su Zhenzhen listened without saying a word.

Because no matter what, it's all Su Zhenzhen's fault now.

So there's no need for her to make herself unhappy.

Su Zhenzhen remained silent.

This silence also made Zhou's mother unhappy.

I always thought Su Zhenzhen was deliberately avoiding this issue.

"Zhenzhen, what do you mean?" Zhou's mother seemed to want Su Zhenzhen to give her an answer.

Su Zhenzhen then looked at Zhou's mother: "Mom, I didn't object to having children, and Jingyan didn't object either. But having children is also a matter of fate. We can't force it."

"Zhenzhen, if it doesn't work, I'll take you to the hospital to get it checked out. It'll be good to find out the cause eventually," Zhou's mother said, completely oblivious to her own thoughts.

She ignored the key points in Su Zhenzhen's words.

She put all the pressure on Su Zhenzhen.

All the women around her have become grandmothers or great-grandmothers, but she hasn't.

Every time she was asked about it at a gathering, she would laugh awkwardly.

After a while, she couldn't hold back anymore.

Initially, when Zhou Jingyan and Su Zhenzhen got married, she also thought it was too early.

They've been married for almost a year now, so why is there still no sign of a baby?

Thinking about it made Zhou's mother feel uncomfortable.

Su Zhenzhen was also unhappy after Zhou's mother said that.

She married up, but not in an outrageous way.

Besides, she's financially independent, so she's really not happy to be directly asked about having children.

However, because Zhou's mother was Zhou Jingyan's mother, Su Zhenzhen did not dare to turn against him in public.

"Mom, Jingyan and I have a plan for this. I think we're still young, and it's not to the point where we need to go to the hospital for a checkup." Su Zhenzhen's words were also very clear.

He didn't turn hostile in public, but he still made his meaning clear.

Zhou's mother's face also darkened, as she hadn't expected Su Zhenzhen to be so stubborn.

"Fine, no hospital. Then put your work on hold." Zhou's mother was still pressuring him.

"Mom, work and having a baby are two different things." Su Zhenzhen had a headache.

“You’re too busy with work, how can you have a child? The Zhou family isn’t short of money. If you quit your job and stay with Jingyan, how can you not have a child?” Zhou’s mother’s tone was also aggressive.

The previously peaceful chat has now turned into a complete breakdown of pretense, with neither side willing to let the other off the hook.

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

Zhou Jingyan happened to be coming downstairs when he heard the conversation, and his brows furrowed as well.
