After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 776 - 420 Qin Zhen Is Getting Engaged_2

Two people in love being able to live happily together is undoubtedly a very beautiful thing.

Qin Zhen listened to Chen Feng's words, smiling, but retorted: "What free babysitter? She's my wife. From now on, you should call her sister-in-law."

"Oh, please. I'm older than you, alright? And have you forgotten that you already acknowledged me as your big brother before? Pei Lei will be my sister-in-law. When are you planning to get engaged and married?"

Qin Zhen, unembarrassed in front of Chen Feng, directly said: "Engaged on National Day, married by next May Day."

"Only getting married next year? You'll be thirty next year; might as well get married by the end of this year."

"Next year is a bit rushed, and besides, my family isn't very satisfied with her. After all, Sichuan Province is a bit far."

Qin Zhen didn't hide anything from Chen Feng, directly mentioning his family's dissatisfaction.

The two of them spoke in their hometown dialect, so they weren't worried about Pei Lei in the kitchen overhearing.

"Have you talked to your parents about it?" Chen Feng asked with some curiosity. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Qin Zhen quickly shook his head: "Of course not. I'm not stupid. My parents just dislike that her hometown is in a small county in Sichuan Province, too far away. Also, Pei Lei is relatively slim, and my mom is worried about her health, thinking she might not be good at bearing children or something. Basically, there's a bit of prejudice against outsiders, you know how the older generation in our place can have some outdated views.

My parents are not very satisfied with her as a future daughter-in-law; it's just that they have no choice since I insist. But before the marriage, it's best to work on their mindset, otherwise, it wouldn't be good for Pei Lei if there's disharmony between her and my mom."

Pei Lei has depression, and if there's discord between her and her mother-in-law, it would definitely have a big impact on her condition. That's indeed a problem.

Qin Zhen has thought about this very thoroughly.

Marriage is not just about two people, it's about two families. The views of both families about their son (or daughter) directly affect the harmony and mental health of both families.

Plus, with Pei Lei's depression, if she can't get along well with Qin Zhen's parents after marriage, it's easy for her condition to relapse or even worsen.

"You've both met each other's parents, right?" Chen Feng asked.

"Yes, about ten days ago, we first went to her hometown, met her dad and stepmom, they had a pretty good impression of me, were quite satisfied, and didn't oppose our marriage. Later, we visited her mom, who isn't entirely out of it, and during our visit, she was quite lucid, understanding that I'm her future son-in-law. She was very happy and talked a lot, making me promise to take good care of Pei Lei.

Last weekend I took Pei Lei back to Lin Nan for a couple of days. But my parents weren't very satisfied with her, especially my mom. I don't know what to do but to insist on the engagement for now. Can you help me think of a way to make my mom satisfied with her?"

Qin Zhen, of course, trusted Chen Feng very much, so he said everything he should and shouldn't and sought his opinion.

After thinking for a while, Chen Feng said: "Our old generation really does have some less-than-ideal views. Actually, my parents also have some prejudice against outsiders; it's unavoidable. Regional discrimination exists everywhere and has been around for a long time. Trying to eliminate this mindset in a short time is difficult; it can only be improved gradually.

For now, the best solution is to have her get pregnant soon. Isn't your family known for having only one male descendant in each generation? You're almost thirty, not married yet, let alone having a child. Your parents are likely anxious. If Pei Lei gets pregnant with your child, your parents will definitely accept her completely, possibly treating her like a deity. At least before she gives birth, your parents surely wouldn't dare to disrespect her; they'd probably be very careful in treating her well.

Also, you need to be patient in advising Pei Lei, encouraging her to get along with your parents as much as possible. Of course, don't force her. In the worst case, if she really can't get along with your parents, don't force her to be in contact with them. After all, you'll spend most of your time living here in Xiu Zhou, not with your parents, so you don't have to worry too much about the mother-in-law relationship."

Qin Zhen glanced at Pei Lei in the kitchen and sighed, "I'm just afraid that if she doesn't get along with my parents, her depression will relapse. Especially things like prenatal and postpartum depression, after researching, just reading about it makes my heart skip a beat. I really don't dare to let her get pregnant now."

"I know a bit about prenatal and postpartum depression too; it's mainly because they worry about their husband not loving them and have a lack of security. More company during pregnancy, providing her with enough emotional and material security, or having a good friend of hers regularly accompany her, talk to her, chat, watch TV, go shopping together, and there shouldn't be any problems. After childbirth, you also need to spend more time with her and the child, hire a reliable nanny to help with childcare, relieve her of the childcare burden, generally preventing any depression from occurring.

Of course, I'm not a professional. If you're worried, you can consult a professional psychologist or obstetrician. I think, if you have a child, it might even help her psychological recovery. With her husband and child around, her mood will definitely be brighter, and the depression will naturally be gone."
