Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander

Chapter 1773: Chapter 1164: Concern

First night.

---------------

"Doudou..." Lan Ailian walked up behind her daughter and tenderly rubbed her head, "Come back inside, don’t let your father-in-law and mother-in-law worry. Hanliang isn’t calling; it’s probably because the situation doesn’t allow it. Be good, come inside with mom."

"Mom..." Yun Doudou sighed and turned to look at Lan Ailian, "You silly child..." Seeing her daughter’s face full of tears, Lan Ailian quickly pulled her aside and gently pressed a handkerchief against the wet marks on her face, "If your husband’s family sees you like this, what will they think? This is the first New Year you’re spending with them since you got married. No matter how upset you feel, you need to hold it in."

"I want to hold it in, but I can’t." Doudou said, "Originally, I thought he was just busy with no time, but now I’m getting more and more anxious. Also, Chuxia hasn’t called, which suggests things aren’t like we thought. Mom, he hasn’t even seen the child yet, he absolutely can’t have anything happen to him!"

"The way you speak, even if he’d seen the child, nothing should happen to him..." Lan Ailian gave her a stern look and continued, "Don’t worry, no news is the best news. Even if he gets injured, once it’s healed, it won’t affect much.

He’s going to those dangerous places for missions, expecting him not to get even a scratch seems unrealistic. As long as he can return safely, that’s enough."

Moreover, you must have faith that he will definitely return safely. During this period when he hasn’t returned, you need to fulfill your duty as a wife, and take responsibility for this household."

The reason your father and I accompanied you to your husband’s family for New Year’s is because we’re worried about you. We never imagined you’d make us even more anxious than we expected. No one else is behaving drastically, yet you are the first to burst out crying."

Since you got married, you haven’t really been in touch with his family. They don’t know you well. Now they have to worry not only about their son but also about you. What kind of New Year are you letting them have?

No matter how much worry you have in your heart, don’t let it show on the outside. It’s New Year’s, give them some hope, make them a bit happier, no matter what happens, we’ll speak more after the third day."

"But..."

Lan Ailian interrupted her, "There’s no ’but’. If your worry and suppression could make things turn out for the better, I wouldn’t stop you. Since it’s of no use at all, why not try another way?"

"I want to call Xiaoqiong and ask if Qiliang has called her. If he did, it would mean Zhou Hanliang definitely encountered something. If he hasn’t, then perhaps they’re both just busy..." Taking a long breath, calming her emotions, Yun Doudou lifted her foot to go inside, but Lan Ailian promptly held her back, "No, you can’t ask."

"Why?" Yun Doudou frowned, "Mom, why do you insist on me doing nothing?"

"What purpose does it serve?"

"If there’s definite news, my husband’s family could worry less. Though they don’t outwardly show it, their hearts are probably like mine, anxious. Not saying or doing anything doesn’t mean they aren’t worried."

Mom, my relationship with them is a family one now. Regardless if we understand each other or not, our interests are the same. If I pretend to be overly calm and happy, they definitely won’t be happy!"

That’s true; if my own daughter was unheard from, and my son-in-law was happily entertaining us, I would be uneasy too. As a partner, worrying about the other reflects care. She realized she was indeed biased before.

Realizing this, Lan Ailian no longer held back her daughter.

Mother and daughter went inside, everyone in the room looked towards Yun Doudou with some concern, especially Zhou Hanliang’s parents, who seemed to want to ask but were hesitant, making the sight even more heart-wrenching.

"Father, Mother, I’m fine, just a bit worried about Hanliang..." Yun Doudou smiled at them, "I’ll call Xiaoqiong to see if she has any news."

"Good, good, this is a great idea..." Father Zhou nodded repeatedly, looking at his daughter-in-law with gratitude. Both he and his wife were almost dying of anxiety, but they feared making their daughter-in-law even more worried, so they kept it to themselves. Now that she said it out loud, he didn’t want to pretend anymore.

Mother Zhou didn’t say anything, but her expression showed strong approval of Yun Doudou’s approach.

Only as she picked up the phone did Yun Doudou remember that Luo Xiaoqiong was back at her hometown with the child for New Year’s, meaning she’d have to call the village committee. Who would be at the committee at this hour?

After hesitating, she dialed anyway, unexpectedly someone answered, an older male voice. Yun Doudou politely said, "Hello, I’m Luo Xiaoqiong’s friend, she’s Zhao Qiliang’s wife. I wanted to ask her a few questions, could you please relay the message for me?"
