Capítulo 1434: Chapter 947
Second watch.
————-
“Second Sister’s temper is still the sa. As soon as sothing happens, she just barrels ahead and only cares about what’s right in front of her…” With a long sigh, Chuxia really didn’t know what else to say.
“Actually…” After pausing a bit, Zhao Qihui gave a wry smile. “Actually, if I hadn’t gotten in, she wouldn’t be in such a rush to get back together with Qiang Junjie. You know her competitive streak as well as I do. She’s always holding in a breath, wanting to compete with and see who cos out on top. In her mind, she’s younger than and already a teacher, so of course she should test better than . But in the end things turned out completely opposite from what she imagined, so naturally she just couldn’t accept it in her heart.
But that said, she has changed a lot compared to before. If this were the old days, once I got admitted, she definitely wouldn’t keep in touch with . Even if we ran into each other, she’d be pulling a long face.
But now, she not only ca to see , she even told what was really on her mind, and admitted that the fact I got in and she didn’t made her feel uncomfortable. She said she is a bit jealous of , but she still hopes I can do well and bring honor to Zhao’s house.”
Chuxia nodded. “She really has made progress compared to before. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even be asking about her. Big Sis, it’s not like you don’t know how badly she and I used to clash.”
Zhao Qihui laughed. “She even asked to bring you a ssage. She says she hasn’t given up, says a person’s life is long yet. You two, you’re really born to be at odds with each other.”
“Who’s at odds with her? She just looks down on people, that’s all. She’s always felt I used to be worse than her in everything, and that getting to where I am today is nothing but a huge pile of dog-shit luck.
Sis, I can guarantee you this: she honestly does wish you well, but she absolutely spends every single day wishing ill. If there’s any bad news about , she’d be the happiest one.
If you don’t believe , you can run a little experint when you go back. As soon as you see her, tell her that right now Zhou Mikang can’t be bothered to pay attention to , and that I’m really unwelco at my Husband’s Family’s place. She’ll definitely be over the moon.”
Hearing Chuxia say that, Zhao Qihui laughed. “Alright, I’ll try it when I go back. We’ll see if you’re too prejudiced against her, or if I’ve been expecting too much from her.”
“Then what about you, Sis?”
“What about ?” Zhao Qihui looked at Chuxia in confusion. “Don’t you already know all about my situation? What else is there to ask?”
“Don’t play dumb with …” Chuxia rolled her eyes. “You know perfectly well what I’m asking, and you’re still pretending to be clueless. But with you acting like this I don’t even need an answer—I can already tell. Wen family has accepted you, right?”
“Alright, you getting this sharp really is a headache…” Zhao Qihui smiled helplessly. “You got it right. As soon as they heard I’d gotten into college, Wen family imdiately stopped opposing and Wenzhang.
They even specially sent a matchmaker to our house to propose, but your Eldest maternal aunt blocked them and sent them back. Wenzhang still cos by the house every few days. As for how things will go later, there’s no telling yet.”
“Eldest maternal aunt did the right thing.” Chuxia’s face was full of resentnt. “They actually dared to be so picky. That kind of family, we’re not the least bit interested, humph, let them stew in their regret!”
Zhao Qihui: “…”
“Sis, are you upset that I said that?” Chuxia looked at the speechless Zhao Qihui. “I’m just saying you’re getting the short end of the stick here. If it’s what you want, I’d definitely support you, alright?”
“Oh, get out of here…” Zhao Qihui pushed her. “Do I look like soone who doesn’t know what’s good for her? I’m just surprised you said exactly the sa thing as your Eldest maternal aunt.”
“Really, Eldest maternal aunt said that too?” Just then, spotting Li Aiyuan coming into the hall with sothing, Chuxia happily waved her over. “Eldest maternal aunt, Eldest maternal aunt, co here.”
Li Aiyuan hurriedly put down what she was holding and rushed in, flustered. “What’s going on?”
“Gim a hug…” Chuxia stood up, wrapped her arms around Li Aiyuan and patted her. “If we weren’t family we wouldn’t have co through the sa door. We even talk the sa way. Eldest maternal aunt, we really are fated.”
Li Aiyuan looked at her daughter full of question marks, completely baffled over what kind of fit this girl hugging her was suddenly having…
Zhao Qihui smiled helplessly. “Chuxia just asked about and Wenzhang. I told her Mom chased the matchmaker out, and then she said sothing that was word for word what Mom said at the ti. It really shocked . What Xia said and what Mom said were literally not a single word different.”
“Really?” Li Aiyuan looked at Chuxia with delight. “Xia, your Eldest maternal aunt really hasn’t doted on you for nothing.”
Chuxia: “…” What’s that got to do with whether you dote on or not?
“What’s going on here?” Zhao Yulan ca in carrying sothing and looked in puzzlent at her elder sister-in-law and daughter hugging each other. “I walk in and see the two of you clinging together, scared half to death.”

Zhao Qihui then went over what had just happened all over again.
“Right, we ought to leave the Wen family hanging on this. No matter what happens later, we absolutely can’t just agree the mont they open their mouths. Otherwise, who knows how high and mighty they’ll act in the future.” Zhao Yulan spoke while looking at Li Aiyuan. “Sister-in-law, what you did was exactly right!”
“Yulan, that’s exactly how I see it. If the two kids want to date on their own, I won’t interfere. But if his family wants to co stick their hands in, I will absolutely not agree.
They used to look down on us and wanted to climb up the social ladder. Now our girl got into university and their son didn’t, so suddenly they think our girl is good enough for their son? They really don’t take our family seriously, do they?”
“W-what?” Chuxia looked at Zhao Qihui, face full of surprise. “Wenzhang didn’t get in? As your tutor, he actually didn’t get in himself?”
“Yeah, he was pretty unlucky. He happened to co down with a high fever during the exam days and didn’t do well. He said he’s going to take the autumn exam and apply to the sa university as .”
“That really is…” Chuxia scratched her head, chuckled twice, and didn’t go on. She’d originally wanted to say, that really slapped the Wen family in the face. But then she thought, for all she knew Wenzhang might end up being her brother‑in‑law, so she’d better show a little rcy with her mouth, so Qihui wouldn’t feel bad.
“At first, he really couldn’t accept it…” After sneaking a glance at Li Aiyuan and hesitating for a mont, Zhao Qihui said, “After all, it was with his tutoring that I was able to get such good grades. I’m really grateful to him, and I understood how he felt back then, so I went over to his ho to comfort him.
He was really down at the ti. Thinking about how you’d been replaced before, I started wondering if he’d also been replaced, so I went with him to the education bureau to check the records.
The result proved that he really had just underperford. But after going through all that, he felt a lot better and made up his mind that he’d definitely get in next ti.
It was …” She sneaked another glance at Li Aiyuan and gave a sheepish smile. “It was who agreed with him that he’d apply to the sa university as , to co find there.”
Li Aiyuan’s face imdiately darkened. “So what you’re saying is, you also agreed when his family ca to propose?”
“No, no…” Zhao Qihui shook her hands quickly. “I’m not that unreliable. I just privately agreed with him that he’d apply to the sa university so we could be together. I never told him to have his family co and propose.
He also explained the proposal to . It was his parents, seeing him always coming to see and egged on by others, who did it behind his back. Afterwards, he also scolded them for it. I… I didn’t dare tell you before, because I was afraid you’d get mad.”
“You wretched girl!” Furious, Li Aiyuan smacked her daughter hard. “Good thing I didn’t say anything too harsh just now, or how would you ever expect to sit at the sa table with the Wen family in the future?”
“If you really had said sothing harsh and we couldn’t sit with the Wen family in the future, I just wouldn’t be with Wenzhang, that’s all. I only wanted to thank him for helping and comfort him so he wouldn’t give up. It’s not like I have to marry him and no one else. What are you so worried about?”
“You wretched girl!” Still not done venting, Li Aiyuan smacked her daughter again. “Your mother was once young too, you think I’m going to believe you just because you say so?
If I really had said sothing over the line and refused to let you be together, I don’t believe you’d be standing here acting like this. They say raising sons and daughters is like paying off a debt—turns out you really are here to collect on your mother!”
“Mom, you’re really wronging …” Zhao Qihui looked at her mother with a face full of grievance. “I really do think that way. I really just want to comfort him, and I really wouldn’t put you in a difficult spot.”
“Sister‑in‑law, since Qihui’s said so much, she must really an it. Besides, things haven’t gotten to that point yet. Look how worked up you are…” Zhao Yulan soothed her with a smile. “I actually think what’s really upsetting you is that your girl’s about to beco soone else’s, and you can’t bear to let her go, huh?”
Being called out, Li Aiyuan simply admitted it openly. “That’s right. I raised her this big and she keeps things from , won’t tell the truth. How do you think that makes feel?”
“Mom, it’s not that I’m keeping things from you. I just don’t want you to worry along with . If my feelings for Wenzhang really were that deep, I definitely would’ve told you.
But now you should be able to understand how Aunt Luo feels, right?” Zhao Qihui affectionately wrapped her arm around her mother and lowered her voice. “You’ve really got to comfort Aunt Luo. I’m sure she feels awful too.”
“I know, you don’t need to teach that.” Li Aiyuan pushed her daughter away. “Alright, you two stay here and chat. I’m going to see if there’s anything left outside.”
“I’ll go too.” Zhao Yulan followed her out.
Only Chuxia and Zhao Qihui were left in the room. The sisters looked at each other and both burst out laughing. They hadn’t expected that, without aning to, they’d actually managed to untie such a knot in the process.
Once everything was moved inside, everyone started sorting things out again. Chuxia and Zhao Qihui went to sit in the car outside, and this ti, Luo Xiaoqiong, who couldn’t really help with anything, followed them out too.
Chuxia told her what had just happened, then added at the end, “You really have to coax Fat Auntie properly. I bet she’s feeling terrible right now. She raised such a big girl, and in the blink of an eye you’re going to be soone else’s. How could she not be heartbroken?”
Luo Xiaoqiong let out a sigh and said, “I can tell my mom’s really sad. Even though she keeps smiling at , I can always catch a glimr of tears in her eyes. It makes my chest feel all tight. I even feel this impulse to not get married at all.” (To be continued. If you enjoyed this work, you’re welco to co to Qidian (qidian) to vote with recomndation tickets and monthly tickets.
