Zhu Leiyao lightly punched Zhu Shunyao on the shoulder. "I feel like you are just here to show off." Zhu Leiyao also had a son and a daughter.
Zhu Shunyao laughed. "Alright, let’s not talk about that. Even if I benefit from my daughter and son-in-law’s connections, that is still my own capability."
"Good that you know it," Zhu Leiyao said. "So, how many days do you plan to rest here this time?"
Zhu Shunyao replied, "Since I am here, I must visit everyone. I plan to see my father-in-law and mother-in-law, then visit Chengjia, and check on the nearby clan relatives. It will only take three or five days. I think I will leave after the seventh day of Enfu’s passing."
"That is good," Zhu Leiyao nodded. "Then you can visit around these two days. We brothers can chat when we have time."
"Agreed." Zhu Shunyao agreed, then bid farewell to Zhu Leiyao and Zhu Chanyao.
Zhu Shunyao returned home and discussed the current situation with Taishu Yuanxiang.
Taishu Yuanxiang thought for a moment and said, "Father, now we just wait to see if Zhu Jinfu acts again. Zhang Haifeng is watching Zhu Jinfu closely. If he acts again, he will not have a good outcome."
Zhu Shunyao hummed, then sighed. "The people here are usually cheerful. Of course, sometimes they haggle over small things, but there is never any backstabbing. Even jealousy is open, like arguing over whose house foundation is bigger or smaller. These are daily trivial matters, with no other hidden thoughts. But being involved in this kind of scheming now is really uncomfortable."
Taishu Yuanxiang listened seriously. "Father, you need to get used to some things. You have experienced the business world for so many years. Can you really not get used to this?"
"How can I get used to this? No matter what, I cannot get used to it," Zhu Shunyao waved his hand. "That is why I am handing my Azure Sovereign Qingdi Group to you to manage. I am just a peasant. Asking me to scheme with people is truly exhausting."
"But what Father did these two days was very good. First, you made Uncle Chanyao give up the patriarch position, then arranged for him to go to the capital, and then talked to Uncle Leiyao about the Zhu family matters. Everything was arranged well." Taishu Yuanxiang had watched his father-in-law handle these things these two days. He understood why Zhu Shunyao’s children were all so outstanding.
Zhu Shunyao had not received a good upbringing environment since childhood, but he had explored and developed his own abilities on his own. Otherwise, he would not be who he is today.
Zhu Shunyao glanced at Taishu Yuanxiang. "I was forced to act, like a duck pushed onto a stage. I had no choice." He then added, "Tomorrow, you come with me to see An’er’s grandfather and godfather. The day after tomorrow, we will visit An’er’s maternal uncle’s father. Then we will visit a few relatives in the clan. We must wait until after the seventh day to leave."
"Okay, no problem with that." Although Taishu Yuanxiang was worried about Zhu Yanli, she was now living in Yan Aohan’s courtyard house. With Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi taking care of her, she was not too worried. She still needed to call her every day, though.
Zhu Yanyi saw Zhu Yanli put down the phone and shook her head with a smile. "You have only been away for two days, and your brother-in-law calls every day. Aren’t you tired of it?"
"Tired of what? I saw you calling your brother-in-law every day when he was on a business trip," Zhu Yanli retorted.
Zhu Zhibin said calmly from the side, "Stop laughing at each other. You are all the same."
"Doumiao, I found you have improved. You can tease both sisters at the same time now," Xie Xinlian joined in the fun.
Zhu Zhibin was startled and looked terrified. "Mom, please don’t say that. If my two brothers-in-law hear this, I will suffer this summer vacation." Although it had already been said that Zhu Zhibin would go to the military camp for training during the summer, the intensity had not been specified. Zhu Zhibin was worried that Yan Aohan would choose the strictest kind. That would really make him lose a layer of skin.
"By the way, I have told your brother-in-law about the summer intensity. I chose the strictest kind for you," Zhu Yanyi said lightly.
Zhu Zhibin looked at Zhu Yanyi and pointed at her. "You, you, you. Are you really my biological sister?"
"You, you, you. I am your biological sister, which is why I require this," Zhu Yanyi smiled, picked up an apple from the fruit plate, and took a crunchy bite. "The previous intensity was not enough. You couldn’t even subdue one person and got yourself injured. That shows the previous intensity was not enough. So, it is better to be strict."
Zhu Zhibin knew he could not escape this time. He lay down on the sofa. "Oh heavens, why did I meet such a sister?"
"Haha." Xie Xinlian and Zhu Yanli laughed.
Xie Xinlian took a basket out of the kitchen. Inside were two ceramic cups. "An’er, Ani, Doumiao, I am going to deliver food to your grandmother. Do you want to go?"
"Mom, I will go with you," Zhu Zhibin said. Staying at home would only result in more teasing from Zhu Yanyi.
Zhu Yanyi said, "In that case, I will stay at home and accompany my eldest sister."
Although she had bodyguards if she went out, Zhu Yanyi was not in a hurry to leave.
Although the Zhu Xinfu family were her patients, Zhu Yanyi made rounds every morning and afternoon. Basically, nothing would happen before she got off work.
"Fine. If you get hungry, eat first," Xie Xinlian instructed, then left the courtyard house with Zhu Zhibin.
Zhu Yanyi and Zhu Yanli were at home. One was reading, and the other was knitting. Zhu Yanyi put down her book and looked at the sweater Zhu Yanli was knitting. "The weather is getting hot soon. Why are you still knitting a sweater?"
"This is for the little one in my belly. I need to prepare in advance. Although he will be born in late August or early September, I am worried that it might be too late if the weather gets cold. Besides, I cannot do other things now, so knitting a sweater is good," Zhu Yanli said with a maternal expression.
Zhu Yanyi tilted her head and looked at Zhu Yanli. "Sister, what does it feel like to be pregnant?"
Zhu Yanli put down her knitting, thought for a moment, and a nostalgic look appeared on her face. "When I first knew there was a baby in my belly, I was a bit panicked. You know my situation at that time. Later, Yuanxiang and I got married, and I felt a different sensation. Especially when the baby moved at four months, I realized that our family was truly gaining another member. My family is made up of Yuanxiang, me, and the baby in my belly. Then, feeling her changes every day, sometimes when she moved, I felt particularly moved. This emotion made me understand how difficult it is to be a mother."
