The second update of the day is here.
--------------------
When Chuxia asked her to elaborate, Luo Xiaoqiong just gave a wry smile: "You’re giving too much credit. Do you really think Luan Dajiang, that closed book, would openly discuss his love life with ? Besides, given my position, it’s not appropriate for to be overly concerned about this matter, right?"
That’s true, Chuxia could only sigh: "Forget it, when he finally makes a decision, he’ll naturally talk about it. You know, my aunt is the best to our family, so regarding Dajiang and Xiaoxiang’s matter, I wish I could do more, but when it cos to matters of the heart, I better not ddle unnecessarily. If he’s not saying anything, he must have his own reasons."
Luo Xiaoqiong sighed along with her: "Your aunt really has it tough, just dealing with her mother-in-law is enough to exhaust soone. Fortunately, they don’t have to live together now, so there’s one less thing to worry about."
"Who knows what the future holds?" Chuxia was less optimistic about this, "My aunt and uncle are too kind and honest, while his elder brother’s family is too cunning. But in such matters, it’s crucial for them to handle it themselves. As outsiders, interfering too much might backfire."
"Your aunt and uncle are indeed overly gentle and honest, but I think Xiaoxiang is soone with a mind of her own, maybe she can handle it well, who knows."
"Let’s hope so..."
Luo Xiaoqiong shook her arm: "Cheer up, I originally ca to talk about happy things with you, but ended up making you gloomy. Had I known, I wouldn’t have even ntioned it."
"I’m not unhappy," Chuxia said, "I just feel that they are among the people who are the best to . I hope they can live happily..." Taking a long breath, Chuxia smiled, "But all in all, their life now is already much better than before. I consider that I’ve helped them a bit, and there’s nothing to regret."
Luo Xiaoqiong nodded, and sighed again: "Actually, when it cos to rural life, which family isn’t a ss? In my family, my grandparents have always favored my uncle’s family, as if my dad wasn’t their own. Luckily, my mom doesn’t put up with their nonsense, otherwise, who knows what our life would be like."
"Fat Auntie’s got a great personality, I like her. Of course, my mom and dad have great personalities too, they seem easygoing and easily bullied, but if you really provoke them, they won’t hold back. So yeah, we’re both pretty lucky because our parents’ protection spared us from much hardship and bullying."
"That’s true, which is why we’re the only ones in the village who get along well. But..." Luo Xiaoqiong pursed her lips and grinned, "In others’ eyes, we’re the lazy, gluttonous, and disobedient troublemakers."
Chuxia just snorted: "In everyone’s eyes, Zhong Hongying is the diligent, capable, and obedient model person, and yet?"
The two of them murmured and reminisced for quite a while, eventually drifting the topic to work. They didn’t even know when they fell asleep. When they woke up in the morning, Luo Xiaoqiong looked guilty: "Chuxia, you’re pregnant, you shouldn’t stay up late, I completely forgot."
"I’m not that fragile." Chuxia glared at her and went to the bathroom.
Before breakfast, Yun Doudou and Liu ijun ca over. Of course, they ca to see Chuxia off. This farewell might an not seeing each other for a month, or even several months.
"How are things with your adoptive parents?" Chuxia looked at Yun Doudou and asked.
"They’re fine, just worried about . They’ve told not to go back there again in the future, fearing that those bastards would co looking for trouble. I told them not to worry, if those bastards dare to ss with again, they must have a death wish..." Sighing, Yun Doudou looked at the others for their input, "There’s sothing I’d like to get your opinions on.
My eldest brother, the one you t yesterday, has been seeing soone, and they both like each other. However, her parents are asking for a hefty bride price, which my adoptive parents can hardly afford.
After I found out about this, I wanted to discuss it with my parents, to ask them to help out. But my adoptive parents disagreed, saying they don’t want my brother to bring ho trouble.
I thought they were worried about my second brother’s marriage, so I suggested that when my second brother marries, I’d also ask my parents to help out. After all, they’ve helped raise for several years, so it seems only fair to provide so assistance in such matters.
My adoptive parents said they didn’t raise to gain any benefits and wouldn’t let my parents contribute to the bride price. Moreover, they want my brother to marry a girl who is willing to settle down with the Du Family and live a simple life.
They’ve t my brother’s girlfriend and said that although she seems quiet, she’s clearly manipulative, and my brother is plainly being deceived by her.
