Chapter 369 The Little Sister-in-Law is a White Lotus

Bai Yan spent the night at Lu Teng's house. The next morning, Lu's mother prepared hand-pulled noodles with eggs and two side dishes.

Bai Yan didn't get up, so Lu Teng brought the food into his bedroom and told her to sit up and eat.

Bai Yan stretched lazily, yawning as she said in a coquettish tone, "Brother Teng~ I don't want to move, you feed me~"

Lu Teng affectionately pinched her little nose, then picked up breakfast, holding the bowl in one hand and picking up a small handful of noodles with the other, feeding it to her.

Lu's mother glanced into her son's bedroom as she passed by the door and saw him behaving like a docile puppy in front of his girlfriend.

She never expected her future daughter-in-law to be so lazy, even eating in bed and having her son feed her.

The son she had raised with such difficulty became another woman's servant.

Lu's mother's goodwill towards Bai Yan vanished instantly. If it weren't for the fact that Bai Yan was pregnant with her grandson, she really wouldn't want her son to marry her.

Lu's mother was holding back her anger and decided to have a good talk with her son later.

Over here, Bai Yan finished her noodles, took a sip of soup, and leaned against the headboard contentedly.

Lu Teng asked with a smile, "Are you full?" Bai Yan nodded, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him on the cheek.

At this moment, Lu's mother gently knocked on the door and came in.

Her expression was somewhat serious as she said to Lu Teng, "Teng'er, Mom has something to tell you."

Lu Teng put down his bowl, got up, and walked to his mother's side. His mother pulled him to a corner of the living room and whispered, "Son, I know you like this girl, but she's too lazy. How will you manage in the future?"

Lu Teng smiled and said softly, "Mom, she's pregnant, she should rest more now. She'll definitely change in the future."

Lu's mother frowned, somewhat disbelieving, but didn't insist any further.

Back by the bedside, Lu Teng sat down again, took Bai Yan's hand, and said gently, "Yan Yan, Mom is just concerned about us. Let's be a little more careful in the future."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yan knew what the old lady was talking about. She was a little angry, feeling that the old lady was meddling too much. But she still gave Lu Teng face and obediently nodded, leaning against him.

Lu Teng was a little worried. Judging from the situation, the relationship between his mother and daughter-in-law would definitely be difficult to maintain in the future.

He only hoped that in the future, his mother would give in to his wife for the sake of her child and not upset her.

After finishing breakfast, Bai Yan prepared to go home.

Lu Teng borrowed a motorcycle from his childhood friend and took Bai Yan back to her home.

Halfway there, I went into a large store and bought a case of pure milk, a case of free-range eggs, a bunch of bananas, and a bag of apples.

The fruit was hung on one of the handlebars, and a box of free-range eggs was hung on the other. Pure milk was tied together with Bai Yan's luggage.

With the gifts prepared, they embarked on their journey back to Nancun Village on the outskirts of the city.

Bai Yan lives in a small village in the southern suburbs of the city. Because it is located on the very edge of the city, everyone calls it "Chengbian Nancun" (Southern Village of the City's Edge), and some people also call it "Chengnan Village" (Southern City Village).

We arrived at our destination safely and smoothly, which took a little over 50 minutes.

The car stopped at the gate. Lu Teng got off first to stabilize the motorcycle, and then helped Bai Yan down.

Bai Yan knocked on the door, but it opened without being locked. She happily walked into the yard.

Lu Teng went back, pushed his motorcycle into the yard, parked it properly, and then went back to close the gate.

After locking the gate, Lu Teng unloaded everything from the car. There were gifts he had bought, and Bai Yan's luggage.

Hearing someone coming from the courtyard, everyone inside the house ran out curiously to see who it was.

When Sun Zihong saw that it was her second daughter who had returned, she happily hugged her daughter, her eyes narrowing into slits with laughter.

"Yan Yan, I've been looking forward to your return. I've missed you so much."

Bai Yan hugged her mother's neck affectionately and said, "Mom, I miss you too."

Only then did she remember Lu Teng behind her, and quickly pulled him over, "Mom, this is Lu Teng, the one I mentioned to you."

Sun Zihong then noticed Lu Teng, looked him up and down, and smiled with satisfaction: "Young man, you look very energetic. Come in and sit down."

Lu Teng smiled politely, greeted them sweetly, and then picked up the gifts and followed them into the house.

Bai Yang, the father, also warmly greeted Lu Teng, telling him not to be shy. The family sat together, with Bai Yan chattering about her experiences outside, and Lu Teng occasionally adding a few words, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

However, Bai Yan's aunt, Bai Lian, secretly scoffed, thinking that Bai Yan's boyfriend was nothing special and not as good-looking as her own man.

She was planning to find an opportunity to teach her niece's husband a lesson and let him know the rules of this family.

When Bai Yan saw her aunt there, she naturally knew that her aunt had quarreled with her uncle again and gone back to her parents' home.

My aunt is a picky and difficult person, just like my grandmother.

Since I got married, the house has become much quieter. But my sister-in-law, Bailian, has a bad temper and is unreasonable; she argues with my mother-in-law every day.

If she wins the argument, she stays at her husband's house; if she loses, she runs back to her parents' house to escape the hustle and bustle, neglecting to take care of or look after her children.

My aunt's husband is an honest man. He can't control his wife and doesn't want to wrong his mother, so he always tries to mediate. Their life is a complete mess.

Bai Yan introduced Lu Teng to her aunt, and Lu Teng politely greeted her, "Hello, Aunt!"

Bai Lian looked disgusted. "Hmm, no need to be polite, have a seat!"

Lu Teng ignored her. The way he spoke made her sound like a difficult person, so it was best to avoid dealing with her.

While everyone's attention was on the gifts, Bai Yan approached Lu Teng and whispered in his ear about how difficult her aunt was to get along with.

Lu Teng blinked, indicating that he had already figured it out. It was better to stay away from her.

Sun Zihong smiled as she looked at her son-in-law, quite satisfied. But the thought that her daughter was pregnant before she was even engaged or married made her less satisfied with him.

Lu Teng noticed his mother-in-law's expression change and guessed the reason, so he cleared his throat and said seriously.

"Uncle and Aunt, I've come today to finalize things between Yan Yan and me."

I know Yan Yan is pregnant now. It's my fault for not giving her a proper status in time.

But I truly want to marry Yan Yan, and I will treat her well for the rest of my life. My family may not be extremely wealthy, but we will definitely provide Yan Yan with a stable home.

Bai Yang and Sun Zihong exchanged a glance, and their attitudes toward Lu Teng changed somewhat.

Bai Lian, however, said sarcastically from the side, "Oh, that sounds nice. You're saying you'll marry me now, but what about later? Who can guarantee that?"

Lu Teng glanced at Bai Lian and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Aunt, I, Lu Teng, keep my word. If I treat Yan Yan badly in the future, you are welcome to come and settle accounts with me."

Bai Lian was speechless, while Bai Yan tugged at Lu Teng's hand and gave him a reassuring look.

Sun Zihong looked at the young man in front of her and thought that perhaps he could really bring happiness to her daughter, so she nodded and said, "Okay, since you have this intention, let's discuss this marriage."
