In the end, they actually took it seriously and asked about it every few days. Later, Zhou Xikang really had no other choice, so he quietly told about it. I told him just to refuse them directly and not worry about it.
He said he was afraid they would think he, as their son-in-law, looked down on them. So I explained the reason for my avoiding them to him. Then, Zhou Xikang had no choice but to agree to let stay here while he figured out how to handle things over there.
Thinking about it now, I was really too selfish, running away to enjoy peace, leaving Zhou Xikang alone to face the difficulties with my family. Sigh..." She sighed long and didn’t continue.
Chuxia never expected this to be the reason.
Yu Tao’s younger sister, Yu Xiang, she had seen before.
Honestly, she admired the courage of the Yu family. As for Yu Xiang’s appearance, saying her fingers were too coarse even to carry shoes for Zhou Huakang was no exaggeration. As soon as she stepped into the Zhou family’s door, her eyes wouldn’t stop wandering, and the greed on her face couldn’t be hidden...
Alright, judging people by appearance is a shallow behavior, so she decided to change the way to evaluate her, focusing on her inner qualities.
She had seen Yu Xiang twice in total, once when Zhou Xikang and Zhou Mikang were at ho, and the other when Zhou Xikang, Zhou Mikang, and Zhou Huakang, the three brothers, were at ho. As an unmarried girl, at her age, it’s not a major fault to take a few extra glances at good-looking boys. But staring incessantly at married n, what does that an?
Zhou Xikang, as her brother-in-law, obviously needed to take care of her a bit more. But what did it an when she deliberately leaned her chest on his arm every ti?
Of course, she saw it happen but didn’t say anything to anyone because everyone else stayed silent, and discussing such matters would make her seem overly petty.
Moreover, she didn’t believe Yu Tao didn’t notice.
Originally, she thought Yu Xiang might be spoiled due to being the youngest at ho. But now it seed that it was the elders at ho who were backing her.
No wonder Yu Tao felt so dissatisfied with her family.
"And... After hesitating for a mont, Yu Tao sighed deeply, "At this point in the conversation, I don’t mind revealing more family scandals, but rest assured, sister-in-law, I’m definitely not going to regret saying them and beco distant from you."
Chuxia reached out to pat her back: "I trust you, sister-in-law. If you want to talk about it, go ahead. Even if I can’t help you solve anything, it’s good if it can help you feel better."
"When you first got married, I often returned to my parents’ ho to take care of my mom. Every ti, Zhou Xikang would pick up and drop off. Once, we both didn’t co back that night, do you rember?"
After thinking carefully for a mont, Chuxia nodded, "There was indeed that one ti. Mother-in-law ntioned it several tis, and the next day when you returned, she scolded you quite a bit."
"Yes, Mom worried about us all night, and the next day she scolded us. At that ti, we just hung our heads and said nothing. But from then on, I didn’t allow Zhou Xikang to step into the Yu family ho again.
Because of that, my mother-in-law intentionally had a heart-to-heart with , saying she only scolded us that ti because she was worried, not genuinely angry that we stayed at our parents’ ho, and that I shouldn’t feel burdened. If I needed Zhou Xikang’s help, I should ask him to accompany without worry.
I agreed at the ti, but didn’t really follow her advice. Even when it seed like Zhou Xikang and I returned to my parents’ ho together, he actually went off halfway to et friends while I headed back ho.
It’s not that I’m hard-hearted; it’s that I don’t dare let Zhou Xikang go to my family’s ho anymore..." Biting her lip, Yu Tao gave Chuxia a bitter smile, "Besides Yu Xiang, I have a cousin nad Yu i."
She’s actually only a month younger than and got married around the sa ti. However, a year later, her husband had an accident and passed away, and she didn’t get along with her mother-in-law, so she moved back to the Yu family ho.
At first, the elders at ho didn’t treat her well, thinking it was shaful for a married woman whose husband had died to move back with her parents. But later, because I couldn’t conceive, my grandmother and my eldest uncle’s wife started targeting Yu i.
And Yu i, shockingly, agreed to their proposal. That ti Zhou Xikang and I stayed at the Yu family, they intentionally got us drunk to try and make Zhou Xikang and Yu i make a mistake together.
In their eyes, whether I gave birth to Zhou family’s child or Yu i did, it would be Zhou family’s seed, and the Yu family would benefit. Had my mom not intervened, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
After that, I never let Zhou Xikang visit the Yu family again. If not for my mom, I wouldn’t go back either. Originally, my plan was to endure quietly without breaking ties, but now it seems that if I keep enduring, neither my mom nor I will be well.
Chuxia, have you ever heard of such relatives? I think there probably isn’t a second family like this in the world. Whether it’s Yu Xiang or Yu i, it’s because of their instigation and encouragent that such shaless actions were taken.
And it’s due to their unreasonable behavior that Yu i now looks at like an enemy, even believing that if not for my mom and standing in the way, she would have already had a grandson for the Zhou family.
These aren’t just accusations I’m making; she told this herself. Honestly, even I couldn’t believe my ears. Growing up, we always went to and from school together.
When I was dating Zhou Xikang, she often helped us pass ssages. It’s surprising that things have turned out like this now, and in my heart..." She shook her head and said no more. (To be continued.
