Chapter 1351: Chapter 804: A Suitable Match (Part 2)
“By tomorrow, my mom will find out. She has a very good friend who works in the Bureau of Industry and merce. It’s not hard for them to track down the address of Wenzhang’s house.” Sun Min’s eyes showed an apology, “Wenzhang, quickly call your parents and inform them. Otherwise, maybe we should have them e to Sha City too.”
“If they e here, what about their jobs?” Li Wenzhang sighed, “You can hide for a while, but not forever. Let’s do this: I’ll call my parents and ask them to hold on. Once we get settled here, I’ll return and face the consequences. Whatever demands my mother-in-law makes, I’ll agree to them.”
“She will follow us to Sha City.” Sun Min’s eyes darkened, “My mom is the kind of person who won’t stop until she achieves her goal. She won’t give us a chance.”
“I really don’t understand. In this day and age, people still think about suitable matches. Just like the landlord earlier, probably Chairman Qu’s mentor’s marriage won’t go smoothly either.”
“Some ideas aren’t that easy to change. Sister Minmin, the key depends on your attitude and your brother-in-law’s. As long as you both are determined to be together and show Aunt Shangguan your sincerity, I believe she might not necessarily stand in your way.
After all, you are the only daughter she has. Judging from her actions these past few days, she is genuinely worried and distressed. I believe that once she realizes who can bring you happiness, she won’t oppose it.”
Xing Nong quickly chimed in, “Luoluo is right, I feel the same way.”
“Following the crowd!” Yaoguang glared at Xing Nong and continued, “I feel that people’s personalities are hard to change. Based on Aunt Shangguan’s previous behavior, unless Sister Minmin has the child, it will be very difficult for her to stay with her brother-in-law.”
Luo Ye slapped her, “It’s not as exaggerated as you say!” She then forted the slightly trembling Sun Min, “Don’t worry too much. Everything is still just speculation, and besides, which parent doesn’t love their child? Of course, some don’t, but Aunt Shangguan isn’t like that.”
Sun Min forced a smile that was worse than crying, “I hope so.”
The shop was settled, and tasks were divided. Everyone agreed to help Sun Min and Li Wenzhang warm the stove.
The couple rented a simple two-bedroom flat on the day they arrived, and everyone had been busy these past few days without gathering together. Today was the fullest gathering they’ve had.
Warming the stove means cooking a meal at home to heat the stove, a customary practice in Ludong. Everyone here being from Ludong, naturally held this tradition in high regard.
They went shopping for groceries and all pitched in to cook a table full of dishes, managing to lift the heavy mood.
Meanwhile, in Seventh Uncle Ye’s villa in Island City, the atmosphere turned genuinely tense.
Shangguan Yunhong had left, and Aunt Luo sat stably on the sofa without any intention of leaving, unfazed by Grandpa Luo’s anger.
“What exactly do you want to do? People need dignity just like trees need bark. You seem worse off than a tree!” Old Sir Luo was so enraged by his troublesome daughter that his lips trembled.
He had taken the Liu family’s couple out for a walk, and the granddaughter wanted to join, so he took her without much thinking. Upon returning home, he realized it was all his daughter’s plan, intentionally having the granddaughter keep him occupied while she stirred up trouble at home!
“Dad, I’m also your daughter. If you all must go to extremes, I don’t really care. Anyway, I am just an ordinary person, making everything public won’t harm me.
As for whether it harms you, that’s not my concern. If others won’t let me live, why should I care about their fate?” Aunt Luo showed plete indifference, not afraid to be boiled.
“How has Zhenggang’s family wronged you? Huh? They’ve given you shares in the pig farm, allowing you to fortably enjoy dividends every year, what more do you want?
Reflect honestly on this—what have you given Zhenggang over the years? Let’s not focus on the past years; even earlier, what did you give Zhenggang?”
“I gave him the chance to go to school.”
“Was that really giving? Was your academic performance parable to Zhenggang’s?”
“If I had gone, even if I couldn’t get into university, I could have at least gotten into a technical school. Yao Hua is now the Secretary of Midong’s City mittee, but back then she wasn’t as good as me academically.”
“Can you pare it like that?”
“Why not? Throughout elementary and middle school, Yao Hua wasn’t as good as me. If it wasn’t to save money for Zhenggang’s schooling, Yao Hua wouldn’t be as acplished as I am now!”
“Even during the technical school exams, you didn’t even pass the preliminary selection, and you dare say this?”
“Yao Hua didn’t pass either; she retook the exam a year later and passed. If I had retaken the exam, I would definitely have scored higher than her!”
“Parents should not owe you anything. Now, you are also a parent. Ask yourself honestly, if you were in their shoes, what would you do?
Would you let the academically stronger one step down for the weaker one, or give both children a fair chance and let the one who passes go?”
“As long as they get in and have a chance for a better life, even if I have to sell everything, I will fight for them!”
“Did you fight for them?”
“That’s because they didn’t do well academically; fighting wouldn’t help. However, I’ve fought for them in other areas, as their mother, to ensure they lead better lives, I will fight with all my strength!”
“Just like now, fighting for Xiao Tian to climb the high branch, refusing to leave here? You…” Old Sir Luo felt a pang of disfort, unable to finish his words, and softly collapsed. (To be continued.
