"What’s wrong?" Seeing her daughter staring at the phone in a daze, Zhao Yulan couldn’t help but get nervous again. "Is there something difficult you haven’t told us about?"

"No..." Chuxia sighed, "Zhou Mikang asked me to call my husband’s family, but..." She looked conflicted, "What will Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, and Dad think?"

Zhao Yulan looked at her daughter with a smile, "You silly child, you’re usually so sensible. How come you’re confused now? If it weren’t for Nannan and Beibei, they might have some thoughts, but with these two little ones around, isn’t it normal for Xiaomi to call you first?"

"Alright..." Although still a bit uneasy, Chuxia picked up the phone and dialed Zhou family in City A. Lin Yanqiu answered, and upon hearing Chuxia’s voice, she immediately laughed, "You called just in time, Xiao Nan just came in and hadn’t even caught her breath.

By the way, Mom is returning to the Capital City with Wang Zhongliang this afternoon. Grandma also wants to go, as the old lady can’t be away from her little great-grandchildren for a moment. She’s always talking about them at home, afraid they might not be close to her if they see her less often..."

Listening to the chatter on the other end of the phone, Chuxia’s heart inexplicably softened, and her previous worries vanished completely. With such a loving mother-in-law and grandma-in-law, how could they blame her?

Taking advantage of a pause in her mother-in-law’s conversation, Chuxia quickly said, "Mom, Zhou Mikang called, he’s fine and resting now, but he didn’t say anything else."

It took Lin Yanqiu quite a while to regain her composure, and her voice was filled with delight, "Summer, did you say Xiaomi called you? Is he coming back?"

"I don’t know if he’s coming back, but they have withdrawn to the rear."

"This is such wonderful news!" Lin Yanqiu turned to Old Master Zhou and Old Madam Zhou, exclaiming loudly, "Dad, Mom, Xiaomi called Chuxia, they’ve withdrawn to the rear, and he’s safe!"

"Good! Good! Good!" Responding several times, Old Madam Zhou ran over and took the phone from Lin Yanqiu, "Summer, did Xiaomi say anything else? Did he mention when he’s coming back?"

"Grandma, he didn’t say that, he’s just withdrawn, and everyone is waiting to call home, so he didn’t say much. We’ll have to wait until he has time to call again."

"Oh, Grandma got confused. How could he have said so much at this time..." Taking a deep breath, Old Madam Zhou urged her granddaughter-in-law, "Summer, since Xiaomi called, you don’t have to worry anymore. Don’t worry, this afternoon Grandma will accompany your mom over, and when Xiaomi is not around, Grandma and your mom will take care of you, making sure you don’t suffer any grievance!"

"Grandma, how am I wronged?" Chuxia protested helplessly, "I was only worried about his safety before, I didn’t feel wronged. Please don’t misunderstand me."

"Alright, alright, no one’s blaming you, no one’s blaming you!" Old Madam Zhou hurried to explain, "Grandma is just too happy and got confused. I spoke without thinking, you mustn’t get angry."

"Grandma..." Chuxia called out speechlessly, then changed the topic, "Has Sixth Sister seen Second Uncle and Second Aunt yet?"

"Not yet, she came back so suddenly, your Second Uncle and Second Aunt are both at work. I bet they’ll be overjoyed to hear Xiaonan’s decision, especially your Second Aunt, who has been quite down these days. Now she finally has something to be happy about."

Sighing, Old Madam Zhou continued, "Grandpa and Grandma are getting old, we don’t want to meddle in the younger generation’s affairs. They can handle it themselves, as long as you’re all safe and healthy, that’s what matters most."

Though Old Madam Zhou couldn’t see it over the phone, Chuxia still nodded earnestly, "Yes, Grandma has always been the most understanding. I’ll hang up now, and when you and mom have tidied up, we’ll talk when we meet this afternoon, alright?"

"Alright, Grandma will go tidy up and let your eldest sister-in-law hurry up and tidy up too. Yesterday someone from your eldest sister-in-law’s maternal family came again, making Aunt Cong angry. Ah, every family has its own troubles. We can talk more when Grandma comes over."

"Okay Grandma, I’m waiting for you all, goodbye Grandma."

"You hung up?" Lin Yanqiu looked at her mother-in-law speechlessly, "I still had things I wanted to ask, how come you hung up?"

A bit guilty, Old Madam Zhou just waved her hand dismissively, "Anyway, we’re going over in the afternoon, you can ask in person. No need to rush."

"I wanted to ask if Qiliang and Hongqi are alright..." Lin Yanqiu sighed, "Don’t forget, Summer’s eldest maternal aunt is still here. Is it appropriate if we just leave without asking?"

"Oh..." Old Madam Zhou regretfully patted her forehead, "I’m just too happy and got confused, I actually forgot about that. Should I... should I call Summer again?"

Lin Yanqiu nodded, "Alright, then call again to check. If there’s nothing wrong, that’s the best case. In case she’s injured or something, we can go visit Aiyuan."

So, the old lady dialed back again. Upon learning that everyone else was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief and insisted Chuxia hand the phone to Old Lady Zhao, sincerely apologizing for not prioritizing her concern, admitting she got caught up in excitement...

Old Lady Zhao, having spent so much time with Old Madam Zhou, understood her character well and laughed, "No need to explain, if you want to make me feel better, just come over quickly and cheer me up."

"Alright, alright, I’m on my way, sister-in-law!" Old Madam Zhou’s voice became instantly cheerful. Whether or not someone is angry isn’t determined by words but feelings. Having in-laws like this is truly wonderful!

Luo Xiaoqiong, now nearly five months pregnant, received a call from Zhao Qiliang and burst into tears of joy. These days, only the heavens knew how worried she was. Even though every phone call with Chuxia brought comfort and good news, the tense atmosphere she heard on the radio each day made it impossible for her to truly relax.

Now it’s all good. Knowing the others are safe is enough. When they might return isn’t a demand anymore!

After hanging up, she immediately called Chuxia. Just as Chuxia had finished her call with Old Madam Zhou, she heard Luo Xiaoqiong’s incoherent recount and quickly laughed, offering comfort: "Alright, alright, your mood swings are getting big, it’s not good for the baby. Be cautious."

Hesitating a bit, Luo Xiaoqiong said, "Chuxia, I want to come over to see you!"

"Sure, come over." Chuxia thought for a moment and said, "Do you want to stay home full-time or continue working? Or maybe tag along with me and audit some classes? Make a choice, so I can arrange things for you."

"If possible, I’d like to continue working..." and after a pause, Luo Xiaoqiong sighed, "On second thought, maybe not. I’m just too excited now, and with such a big belly, which unit would want to employ me? Better not trouble you with it."

"You’re almost five months along, anyway, you could at most work for another three months. How about you just come along with me to audit, or directly join Sister Meili’s full-time course.

The teaching methods there should suit you better, and Director Xu can help transfer your records there. After the baby is born, you can continue studying; it will help your career later."

"Can I really do that?" Luo Xiaoqiong’s voice was full of surprise and delight, "Oh wow, why didn’t I think of that? Chuxia, I’ll hang up now and call Director Xu right away."

"Alright, I’ll wait for your good news."

After about ten minutes, Luo Xiaoqiong called back, sounding very cheerful: "Chuxia, Director Xu agreed, and he even agreed to help Doudou with it as well, so we can all accompany each other.

However, this leaves Meijun behind..." As she mentioned this, her voice dropped, "I thought about asking for help for her too, but then I felt it was too much, so I didn’t mention it.

Do you think Meijun will be really upset? Honestly, it’s not that I’m not close with her and that’s why I’m not helping; her situation is just different from ours. Wouldn’t it be nice if she were also married and pregnant, right?"

"Alright, stop worrying. I’ll call Meijun later to see what she thinks. Plus..." Chuxia sighed, "If it weren’t for my brother and Zhou Hanliang being on assignments, Director Xu wouldn’t have been so quick to help. Some things need to follow proper procedures, so even if you pleaded for Meijun, she probably wouldn’t agree.

Having friends you can rely on is good, but it shouldn’t become a burden. Xiaoqiong, think deeply if this makes sense. I’ll hang up now."

It’s not that she doesn’t value relationships; it’s just that many things in this world are linked to strength and luck. Liu Meijun might seem easygoing and agreeable, but deep down, she’s very proud. Helping her without her consent might actually upset her.

Moreover, having many friends means it’s impossible to attend to everyone’s needs!

At this time, Liu Meijun was at work, so Chuxia dialed her office phone. Hearing she had a call, Liu Meijun got so excited that she knocked over her chair. Ever since Yun Doudou was forced to stay home for bed rest, she felt so lonely! A call could only be one of her few good friends; whoever it was, she was thrilled!

"Chuxia, you’re so biased; you always call me the least!" Perhaps feeling lonely for too long, Liu Meijun rarely said something filled with jealousy.

"Alright, it’s all my fault. When I get back to A City, I’ll come find you every day, okay?"

"Okay, but when are you coming back?"

"Can’t say for sure..." Hesitating, Chuxia found it hard to say what she needed to next, "What’s up, Chuxia? Is there something you want from me?" On the other end, Liu Meijun sensed Chuxia’s hesitation and asked proactively. (To be continued.
