Chapter 78: Chapter 78 Heartless _1

Meng Yunhan, with her belly protruding, walked out of the room. It really felt odd to sit alone there.

“What are you doing here? Quickly leave, quickly leave.” Yun’s mother lifted her head to see her tiny daughter-in-law with a big belly.

Zhang Cuihua and Zhao Fang turned towards the door at the same time.

“Mom, I’m just checking in to see if I can help with anything.”

Yun’s mother waved her off. “We don’t need your help. Go rest. Your sisters-in-law and I can handle things. The food may not be as good as yours, but we’ll manage.”

Zhang Cuihua and Zhao Fang felt a little bitter. Even as they acknowledged that this was true, it was still awkward for their mother-in-law to belittle them in front of their sister-in-law.

“Yes, Little Sister, you go rest. We’ve got things covered in the kitchen.”Zhang Cuihua forced a smile.

Zhao Fang chimed in more naturally, “Big Sister is right. We can handle things. Go rest!”

A faint smile appeared naturally on Meng Yunhan’s face, but it carried some distance. “Then, I will leave it to mom and Big Sister and Second Sister. Thank you for your hard work.”

Zhang Cuihua had long realized that their youngest sister-in-law was not to be underestimated. Seeing the smile on her face, she envied Yunhan’s ability to remain cheerful despite the situation.

As for Zhao Fang, she knew that Yunhan was no ordinary woman. She had the demeanor of a young lady from a wealthy family and an aura that demanded attention.

Meng Yunhan returned to her room and began reading a book.

Once this year passes, it will be 1977. In August, a national conference on science and education will be held, and the nationwide university entrance exam, which had been suspended for ten years, would be reinstated.

There were ten more months until the college entrance exam. Ten months.

She didn’t have much time and had been reviewing these days.

This time when Yun Hao returns, she plans to replace out more about this and see if he could also take the exam.

Having a high level of cultural knowledge could help him get promoted faster.

Everyone is selfish, and she was no different. Even after living for several decades, she remained selfish.

In the main room, the older men were discussing this year’s harvest.

The kids in the yard were having a snowball fight and building snowmen.

The 23rd was for sticking candied fruit; the 24th, for house cleaning; the 25th, for grinding tofu; the 26th, for buying meat; the 27th, for slaughtering a chicken; the 28th, for fermenting dough; the 29th, for steaming buns; and the 30th, for staying up all night.

In the blink of an eye, it’s the 30th.

But Yun Hao hasn’t come back. Meng Yunhan appeared calm on the outside, but she was very anxious internally.

He had promised when she first came back that he would return for the New Year. His last few letters also mentioned he would be back for the New Year, but now it’s already the 30th.

“Hanhan, you’re pregnant. You should go to bed early. You don’t need to stay up for the New Year’s Eve.” Yun’s mother persuaded her distracted daughter-in-law to go to sleep.

She too was waiting for her younger son. But now it was New Year’s Eve, and he still hadn’t come back. She feared he wouldn’t make it this year.

Yun’s father, Yun Hai, and Yun Lei were all clear-eyed individuals. It was difficult for them to ask their youngest sister-in-law, who stubbornly wanted to stay up with them for the New Year’s Eve, to go to bed.

As soon as his wife voiced her thoughts, Yun’s father echoed, “Hanhan, listen to your mother. You’re pregnant. Go to bed!” It was clear that their youngest son wouldn’t be coming home this year.
