The next day, Ye Fangfei slept until the sun was high in the sky.
When she woke up, she found herself alone in the room and took a moment to assess her body. Although she felt a bit fatigued, it was not as exaggerated as the novels often described. After their intimate encounter last night, Tang Zhicheng had helped her clean up, and now she felt refreshed and clean, without any stickiness.
Ye Fangfei got up and rummaged through the wardrobe for a comfortable short-sleeved shirt, pairing it with a blue skirt. She simply tied her hair back into a ponytail. After tidying herself up, she returned to the bed, folded the bedding neatly, and placed it at the foot of the bed. She even covered it with a piece of patterned cloth.
Once she finished all of this, Ye Fangfei stepped out of the room to wash up. As she emerged, she saw Grandma Tang sitting in the living room, looking bored and lost in thought. Life in the city could indeed be quite dull. If she were in the countryside, after finishing household chores, she could sit on a millstone with her old friends and gossip; that kind of life would be much more enjoyable.
Hearing the door open brought Grandma Tang back to reality. Upon seeing Ye Fangfei, she said, "You’re awake! The third team is here; he asked me to let you know. There’s food warming in the pot."
If Grandma Tang had any objections about Ye Fangfei sleeping in so late, they were certainly there. However, Tang Zhicheng had told her not to wake Ye Fangfei up at that hour. He had also explained their relationship dynamics to her.
Tang Zhicheng had said to Grandma Tang, "Mother, I know you sometimes disapprove of Feifei, but she’s a city girl—specifically from Beijing. Her way of living is definitely different from ours. Her family background is also quite good; her father is a level six welder at a factory and earns over sixty yuan a month. Her mother is a small leader at the same factory, and her brother and sister-in-law work in the office there too. It’s only natural for her to be a bit pampered, right? The main point is that Feifei’s uncle is my boss; you understand what that means?"
By saying all this, Tang Zhicheng hoped that Grandma Tang would not make things difficult for Ye Fangfei.
Grandma Tang understood perfectly. "If I treat your wife poorly, what if her uncle makes things hard for you?"
"Don’t worry; I will definitely treat your wife well," Tang Zhicheng's last words struck at Grandma Tang's weak spot perfectly.
As parents, isn’t it their greatest fear that their children might suffer injustice outside?
Tang Zhicheng didn't care how his mother, Old Lady Tang, interpreted things in her mind; as long as she could get along harmoniously with his wife, that was enough for him.
After all, a woman's well-being in her husband's family largely depended on whether the man was willing to protect her. Don't listen to what men say; they might claim ignorance, but even if it's my mother, I can't spin tales. It's not that they can't help; it's just that they don't care and are unwilling to intervene.
Unbeknownst to Ye Fangfei, Tang Zhicheng had already set his mother aside. After finishing her morning routine, Ye Fangfei went straight to the kitchen for breakfast.
Breakfast was simple: cornmeal porridge and a boiled egg. After eating, she washed the dishes and returned to the living room.
"Mom, where are Dad and the others?" Ye Fangfei looked around but couldn't find Old Man Tang or Tang Zhiwen and Tang Zhiwu.
"They went with the third team; they said it was to broaden their horizons," Old Lady Tang replied.
