"I, we just like that..." Xie Jingzi’s pale little face immediately flushed red upon hearing Third Sister-in-law ask about this, her eyes darting around in a somewhat flustered manner.
"Heh, you little girl, there’s nothing to be shy about. When I was your age, I was about to give birth to Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi. The older sisters-in-law were even earlier."
It’s the mindset of the times. Yan Jinsu wasn’t for fostering avant-garde thoughts in her little aunt either; conforming to public customs was actually a better way to survive.
The main thing is, although the little aunt is young, Zhou Zhenghui, who could already be called little aunt’s husband, is not young anymore, letting the little aunt delay for three more years, Yan Jinsu feels this idea is not very realistic.
Besides, society now is not like that of the future. In the future, if you go to school while heavily pregnant, you might get laughed at.
But now, because of the Cultural Revolution, most students are married, and there are plenty who attend school while pregnant.
"Third Sister-in-law~" Xie Jingzi really felt so shy.
Because her mindset was actually quite conservative, ever since she got engaged, the uncle seemed to let loose and his actions toward her became even more excessive.
Other than the final step, the two of them were no different from any ordinary married couple now.
If Zhou Zhenghui heard Xie Jingzi’s inner thoughts, he would definitely sneer with a dark expression: The difference is huge!
Only after taking the final step is it truly having the meat; otherwise, everything before is just dessert.
"I’m asking you, did you and Zheng Hui register for marriage?" Yan Jinsu approached the problem by looking at the key points first.
Seeing Third Sister-in-law shift the topic, Xie Jingzi’s blushing cheeks finally subsided a bit, and she obediently nodded:
"We’ve gotten the certificate. Once Zhou Zhenghui set the wedding date, it’s considered marriage, and with the certificate, he won’t let political opponents catch any loopholes."
"Mhm, so my youngest sister-in-law is already Mrs. Zhou?!" Yan Jinsu could only remind her little aunt this much; if the little aunt still didn’t get it by now, then it was truly Zhou Zhenghui’s fault.
"Um, eh?" Xie Jingzi was initially shy, but seeing the helpless expression of Third Sister-in-law rolling her eyes at her, she paused, and her embarrassment seemed to be pressed on ’pause’, coming to a halt.
What does Third Sister-in-law mean? Why does she feel a hint of mockery?
Indeed she is now Mrs. Zhou, that’s correct.
Because when she returned to Zhou family’s old house last night, the maids addressed her as ’Mrs.’, since Zhou Zhenghui wouldn’t allow anyone to call him young master, insisting that whether subordinates or maids, they all should respectfully address him as ’sir’.
Correspondingly, she became ’Mrs.’.
Uh, Mrs....?
So, is Third Sister-in-law hinting at that?!
"You silly girl, don’t forget, Zheng Hui is the legitimate eldest grandson of the Zhou family. Don’t be fooled by the multitude of his male cousins; he is the genuine main branch’s eldest son. When you went to his house, did any of the Zhou family elders give you a hard time?"
"That didn’t happen, my mother-in-law has a quite nice personality, she’s good to me." Especially enthusiastic, from time to time even caressing her belly, her face full of expectation...!
