"You...," Zhao Qihui gently tapped her on the forehead, "really don’t know how lucky you are, do you? How did you manage to et Division Commander Zhou? I can see he’s not just ordinary in indulging you."
To be honest, when I t him for the first ti, I thought he was grim-faced and hard to talk to, really quite annoying. When I heard you were marrying him, I was full of worries."
Even if you’re marrying up, if you suffer from being mistreated, that’s not a life worth living. I never expected him to be so good to his wife."
Not to ntion anything else, he even lets you attend school while pregnant, which most people wouldn’t do. Even without his kind of privileges, in our county where conditions are far worse, they wouldn’t allow their wives to ss around like this."
Your uncle and eldest maternal aunt at ho are so worried, fearing that even if they agree on the surface, they might feel uncomfortable inside, and might not treat you well after the child is born."
However, I’m not concerned about that. After eting him a few tis, I feel my brother-in-law isn’t like that. If he’s promised you sothing, he’s sure to treat you well. But you also need to be mindful, don’t always do as you please."
"A man’s kindness is because he genuinely likes you and wants to care for you, but if you always act like a child who never grows up, once he runs out of patience, you’ll be the one suffering.
What I’m saying might not be pleasant, but once you think it over, you’ll see the truth in it. In this world, nobody owes anyone anything. You can’t expect others to treat you well without reciprocating."
"Sis, you got into university, and now you talk like an expert...," Chuxia joked, then straightened her expression, saying, "Don’t worry, sis, I know what’s good and bad.
So things seem reasonable because I truly don’t understand them yet. But as I grow older, as my experience grows, I’ll surely understand more, and it’ll be less likely for to make these common-sense mistakes."
As for attending school, many people don’t understand and think I’m being unreasonable, but I’m doing this hoping there’ll be fewer conflicts and disagreents in the future."
Indeed, Zhou Mikang treats exceptionally well, but years down the line, if I just stay at ho as an ordinary housewife or find an easy job to get by, I’m unsure how our relationship would evolve."
Moreover, in many people’s eyes, marrying Zhou Mikang is really about climbing high. My parents always feel lacking in confidence. Even if it’s just for them to live proudly, I must strive."
Of course, I don’t even know to what extent I can achieve, but if I work hard and strive, soday I’ll reap what I deserve."
To put it more realistically, marriage is a fair exchange. If I take too much, the respect I receive will naturally lessen. To be respected, one must have sothing that others find valuable, and for that, I must work hard."
Zhao Qihui looked Chuxia up and down with a smile, remaining silent for a long ti, finally making Chuxia uneasy: "Sis, what are you doing? Trying to scare soone to death?"
"I was thinking, is this really my little cousin?" With a slight pause, Zhao Qihui continued, "I ponder often, how co you’ve changed so much so quickly?
Not only your personality, but also your knowledge, thoughts, and so on, all seem to have improved trendously. If soone had told you’d beco like this before, I’d think they were joking. Xia, you really... really like you’ve been reborn."
Cough, not reborn, but a change of soul...
Chuckling awkwardly, Chuxia quickly shifted the topic: "Look at us drifting off topic, originally wanted to ask about Second Sister, but ended up discussing entirely."
Previously, Wang ifeng and Zhao Qihui revisited their studies to take the college entrance exam. Zhao Qihui succeeded, but Wang ifeng failed. She probably felt anxious about marriage affairs again, prompting Chuxia’s question.
"ifeng’s situation is a ss; originally the Qiang Family broke off the engagent, wanting to climb higher. But after Qiang Junjie was transferred back, it wasn’t long before the woman he was with broke up with him.
Now he’s back to courting ifeng. Initially, ifeng was firm and didn’t want to be with him, but after several failed matchmaking attempts, she’s reconsidered."
Recently, she’s been seeing Qiang Junjie; every Sunday when off work, either Qiang Junjie visits at Auntie’s place, or ifeng goes to the county to see him.
Anyway, they haven’t confird anything yet and are just seeing each other. Auntie is against it, thinking that with such a man, ifeng could be abandoned again if troubles arise."
But Uncle and ifeng’s grandparents are quite pleased, thinking there’s nothing wrong with his previous choice, and it’s fortunate for ifeng if he’s willing to be with her again."
Ah! Dealing with such confused parents and grandparents is quite troubling. Your uncle and eldest maternal aunt disapprove of this affair, but ultimately as outsiders, they can’t say much."
Unexpectedly, it’s turned out this way; stunned for a mont, Chuxia asked: "How about Second Sis herself, has she ntioned anything to Big Sis about what she thinks?"
Zhao Qihui sighed: "ifeng did talk to about this. She said now being with Qiang Junjie isn’t like it was initially, when she genuinely liked him and wanted to be together.
She just feels she’s getting older, and if she waits any longer, she might have worse prospects. So she opts to string along with Qiang Junjie, and if, in the future, she finds soone better, she’ll dump him; if not, she’ll marry him anyway."
