Compared to that, Ye Fangfei would rather tire herself out than live under the same roof as her in-laws. She believed that if given a choice, no daughter-in-law would want to live with her parents-in-law. Even if it meant enduring hardships, she preferred to be the one in charge of her own home. However, she felt there was no need to share this sentiment with Wang.
Wang asked, "So, are you planning to go back to your hometown for the New Year this year? It’s been a few years since you last went back, hasn’t it? Didn’t your mother-in-law say anything?"
"Yes," Ye Fangfei replied. "We went back once when we had just gotten married, so it’s been six years since we last visited. It’s not that we don’t want to go back; at first, Little Moon was still small, and we were worried she might get sick on the way. Then I got pregnant again and gave birth to Little Sun, so it became even more difficult to return."
"That’s true," Wang agreed. "Once you have kids, everything has to revolve around them. You can’t just go whenever you want. The weather back home is much colder than here; I worry the kids won’t adapt well. It can be troublesome if they get sick these days."
"You need to be careful," Wang continued. "Little Moon is a bit older now, but Little Sun is only two; he’s still too young. I think you should wait a couple more years before going back. What if the kids catch a cold or have a fever?"
Ye Fangfei understood that Wang was concerned for both of her children, so she didn’t mind her words. However, she also had her own difficulties. Ever since their first year of marriage when they visited once, although Ye Fangfei never openly clashed with Old Lady Tang and the others, she harbored quite a few grievances against them in her heart. When she gave birth to Little Moon, neither Old Lady Tang nor Wang Zhaodi or Zhang Man showed any support.
As the child's mother, Ye Fangfei naturally felt unhappy about this. She didn’t lack their kind of support, but she hoped her children would receive recognition and care. So later on, her feelings toward her hometown were merely superficial.
The festive items were all quite standard, not particularly appealing to anyone. Tang Zhicheng could tell that Ye Fangfei had some grievances about their hometown, even though she had never complained to him directly. However, Tang Zhicheng was not foolish; he understood the situation with his mother and two sisters-in-law. He felt anger not only for Ye Fangfei but also for himself.
Over the years, since Ye Fangfei did not want to return to her hometown, he had kept quiet and accompanied her and the children in Beijing during the New Year celebrations. This time, however, they received a letter from home stating that Old Man Tang had fallen ill recently and had been rambling about Tang Zhicheng.
Tang Zhiwen wrote back, insisting that they must return home for the New Year, mentioning that Old Man Tang had yet to meet his grandchildren. No matter what, as a son, Tang Zhicheng felt worried upon hearing about his father's illness. He wanted to do his best to fulfill his parents' wishes. It had indeed been several years since they last visited, so he immediately discussed with Ye Fangfei the idea of returning home for the New Year.
At this point, even if Ye Fangfei was reluctant to go back, she could not object. The elderly were aging; there might not be another chance next year. It was truly uncertain how much time they had left. Over the past few years, Tang Zhicheng had treated Ye Fangfei very well and was equally caring towards their two children. He even showed kindness towards her family, which Ye Fangfei was well aware of.
Tang Zhicheng had done everything for her and her family. Therefore, even if it was for him, she felt it necessary to return to her hometown this time. Although she was worried about taking such small children on a trip, she did not resist the idea.
