1311 The Strange Atmosphere in the Wang Family

The Wang family was equally lively today.

Wang Yunfa initially didn’t want to bring Li Xia to Wang Yunzhong’s house to celebrate New Year’s Day. However, after the old lady reprimanded him, coupled with the fact that Li Xia felt his brother had resolved the previous matter, he thought that no matter what unhappiness there was before, he should take advantage of this matter to resolve it.

Therefore, no matter how unwilling Wang Yunfa was, he still went with Li Xia today.

Xu Qianqian, who rarely appeared and was focused on enjoying life, couldn’t hide anymore today. She slowly went downstairs.

!!

“Sister-in-law!”

When Li Xia saw Xu Qianqian, she quickly called out to her warmly. It had to be known that Xu Qianqian was almost ten years younger than Li Xia.

However, she had no choice. After all, she was Wang Yunzhong’s wife.

Wang Yunfa sat on the sofa with no expression and said nothing. When Li Xia stood up, she patted him and gestured for him to greet her.

Only then did Wang Yunfa look up and call out coldly, “Sister-in-law!”

Xu Qianqian didn’t like this couple at all. When they didn’t need someone, they would have a different attitude.

Xu Qianqian smiled insincerely and said to Li Xia, “You’re pregnant. Don’t move. Quickly sit down.”

Xu Qianqian was only a few months pregnant, so her stomach was not considered big. However, Li Xia was already half a year pregnant. Her stomach was already bulging, and her entire body was bloated.

Seeing her like this, Xu Qianqian couldn’t help but frown. This also affected her mood all because she could foresee her appearance a few months later.

As soon as she sat down, Li Xia’s eyes couldn’t help but move left and right. Then, she looked at Xu Qianqian with a friendly expression and asked, “Sister-in-law, where’s Brother? Why don’t I see him?”

“It’s rare for the company to have a New Year’s Day holiday. He’s swamped at the end of the year, so he sleeps more when he has time. He just woke up and is taking a shower upstairs,” Xu Qianqian said softly.

Li Xia smiled and nodded. “Yes, yes. Brother has such a big company. He can’t rest for more than a few days a year. He should find time to rest.”

Xu Qianqian smiled and nodded saying nothing.

Li Xia laughed dryly again, but she could not find a topic.

They sat on the sofa and looked at each other. The atmosphere was awkward for no reason.

Fortunately, not long after, the old lady and the old man returned from buying groceries.

“Oh, I was late. There were so many people at the market today. I didn’t manage to snatch many things,” the old lady complained as soon as she entered.

When Li Xia heard this, she quickly stood up and went forward to receive her. “Mom, Yunfa and I brought a lot of dishes and meat. We placed them in the kitchen. See what you can use later.”

“That’s good. We didn’t get any pork ribs today, but Yunfa likes to eat pork ribs,” the old lady answered with a smile. With her two sons by her side on New Year’s Day, she was naturally the happiest.

As for her daughters, she was not in the mood to think about them.

“We have pork ribs. We bought them. There are also pork trotters,” Li Xia said.

The old man took off his hat and looked at Li Xia. “Xia, you’re heavy. Don’t be busy. Go talk to your sister-in-law. Your mother and I will cook.”

Li Xia’s hand stopped. She wanted to help because she had nothing to say. Now that the old man had said so, she could say nothing else. She could only smile and nod before sitting back down.

At this moment, Wang Yunzhong had already changed his clothes and came down. When he saw Li Xia and Wang Yunfa, he couldn’t help but greet them, “Xiao Xia and Yunfa are here.”

This was the first time Wang Yunzhong had seen him after Wang Yunfa was sent to jail. He lost a lot of weight and energy.

“Brother,” Li Xia greeted him again.

Wang Yunfa looked up at Wang Yunzhong. His lips moved, and he squeezed out, “Brother.”

Wang Yunzhong smiled symbolically and walked to the sofa to sit beside Xu Qianqian. Then, he looked at Wang Yunfa and asked, “How have you been recently? Why have you lost so much weight?”

“I’m okay. It’s quite good.” Wang Yunfa lowered his head and said, “I haven’t lost much weight.”

Li Xia quickly interrupted and explained, “I’m pregnant and went back to my maternal family. No one cooks for him at home, so he’s just fooling around with food. How can he not lose weight?!”

Wang Yunzhong nodded and looked at Wang Yunfa for a while.

After all, they were biological brothers. Seeing him like this, although Wang Yunzhong felt helpless, he said, “Don’t think too much about it. The past is the past. The child is about to be born. You have to pull yourself together. If you have anything, tell Brother.”

Xu Qianqian listened from the side. Wang Yunzhong was putting on airs again, so she couldn’t help but glare at him.

She was afraid that Wang Yunzhong would be too confident. When the time came, they would ask him for something every day. Wasn’t that annoying?

However, Li Xia was delighted to hear this. She immediately nodded in agreement. “Brother, don’t worry. He’s fine. It’s just that he hasn’t been in good spirits recently. He’s much better than before.”

“It’s good that you’re fine.” Wang Yunzhong nodded and went to the kitchen to make tea.

Xu Qianqian secretly rolled her eyes and smiled at Li Xia. “Sit down first. I’ll go upstairs and put on a shirt. I feel a little cold…”

“Sister-in-law, go ahead. Don’t worry about us.” Li Xia quickly nodded.

After Xu Qianqian left, Li Xia’s smile froze on her face. She turned her head and hit Wang Yunfa’s arm in disappointment. She lowered her voice and scolded, “Look at you. Who are you frowning for? Brother and Sister-in-law are smiling at you. With your character, those who don’t know might think I’m dead!”

“What did I tell you last night? Didn’t you agree?”

Wang Yunfa said without looking up, “I can’t smile!”

“Even if you can’t smile, you have to. Dad and Mom are both here. How worried is everyone because of you? Look at Dad. He’s so thin that he’s already out of shape. Don’t be dissatisfied!” Li Xia glared at him and reprimanded, “It’s a good New Year’s Day. Pretend to be well for me. Don’t let Brother and Sister-in-law dislike you. Don’t you still want to interact with them in the future?”

Li Xia’s words were like a thorn in Wang Yunfa’s heart. How could he not tell that the old man had lost a lot of weight? He already blamed himself deeply, and now, he could not extricate himself.

In this state of mind, he could not force a smile.

“The more you’re like this, the more worried everyone is. You’re fine. It’s all in the past. No one blames you, right?” Li Xia sighed.

She and Wang Yunfa got married in a flash. Not long after the blind date, they got married. Wang Yunfa had always lived heartlessly. Now that he had something on his mind every day, she was also worried. She felt that Wang Yunfa had changed into a different person.

Fortunately, Wang Yunfa could still listen to Li Xia. After a while, he nodded. “I understand, Wife.”

In the kitchen, Wang Yunzhong was making tea. The old lady picked vegetables and leaned forward. “Yunzhong, why isn’t Zichen back yet?”
