In Later Years 熟年 Episode 18

Ni Jun felt distressed seeing his wife working so hard, leaving early and returning late every day, so he would often bring her some food. That night, Liu Hongyan invited Tian Tian to dinner again. Unexpectedly, Tian Tian actually introduced her to a client, and she successfully opened the first order after a part-time job. Liu Hongyan was so excited that she returned home to express her joy through drunkenness.

Pregnancy is not a happy thing for Ni Weizhen. Although she talked with Zhang Chunmei, she still couldn't make up her mind to ensure that she would be a good mother. Ni Sinan saw Ni Weizhen's inspection report and hoped that she would give birth to a girl, and also believed that if Ni Weizhen gave birth to a girl, she would be very similar to her.

It was also because of Ni Sinan's words that caused waves in Ni Weizhen's heart. After a night of tossing and turning, she finally made a decision. Ni Sinan took the initiative to make breakfast for Ni Weizhen. He wanted to make coffee for her, but Ni Weizhen said that he would give up coffee in the future. Ni Sinan understood the meaning and smiled knowingly.

Aunt Li came to the house to take care of Mrs. Ni. She really did everything. In order to prevent Mrs. Ni from having an accident, she had to follow her no matter where she went or what she did. All kinds of precautions made Mrs. Ni very uncomfortable. On the other hand, Lu Fan cut Zhang Chunmei's budget. Lu Fan also accused Zhang Chunmei of focusing on content quality and never considering the survival of the agency. Zhang Chunmei called a meeting to discuss countermeasures. Colleagues all suggested that the shooting location should be set on the university campus. Zhang Chunmei contacted Ni Weizhen to help find a solution.

Mrs. Ni wanted to eat apples, so Aunt Li peeled and cut the apples into pieces, and didn't let Mrs. Ni walk around. Wu Erhu played mahjong with his neighbors, and when they talked about the topic of his daughter-in-law having a baby, he could only try to avoid it. Recently, Liu Hongyan came home more and more late, making perfunctory phone calls, and not replying to WeChat. Even if Ni Jun rushed to the company to pick her up, he was often dismissed as "something".

Ni Jun felt that his marriage was in a major crisis, and Wu Erhu happened to see him drowning his sorrows with alcohol. Wu Erhu forcibly dragged his son home and forced him to drink with him. Ni Jun was unprepared, and after drinking, he made a slip of the tongue, and expressed his worries outright. However, the speaker has no intention, but the listener does. Wu Erhu secretly vowed that Liu Hongyan would never let Liu Hongyan get rid of her son, and resolutely defended her son's marriage happiness.

Ni Weizhen left He Zhichao in the cold for a few days, and after careful consideration, he still called He Zhichao and told him about the pregnancy. Sure enough, He Zhichao showed embarrassment, and euphemistically stated that he was still working in a coffee shop and could not raise the child without a regular job. At the beginning, He Zhichao argued with Ni Weizhen about the importance of having children, but on this day, he became a deserter and followed in his father's footsteps.

In fact, Ni Weizhen had already guessed that He Zhichao would have such a reaction, and the reason why she announced this was to respect He Zhichao's right to know as the child's father. Ni Weizhen decided to give birth to this child, and he didn't need He Zhichao to raise him at all, so the two separated.

At night, after Aunt Li took care of Mrs. Ni to sleep, she called Zhang Chunmei and left. However, while Aunt Li was not at home, Mrs. Ni cooked for Zhang Chunmei her favorite minced meat tofu. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got along warmly and happily. Zhang Chunmei talked about when she was young, every time she quarreled with Ni Weiqiang, her mother-in-law would speak for her, so the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is more like a mother and daughter.

After returning home, He Zhichao sought advice from his aunt He Meilian, and put the matter between himself and Ni Weizhen on others. He Meilian didn't think too much, and directly stated that love and marriage are free. The man should take his wife and children home and introduce them to his family. He Zhichao thought deeply when he heard this.
