Of course, those years, because we didn’t have another child, your mother and I were quite upset. It wasn’t because we envied others for having sons, but because we felt guilty for not giving you a sibling. We were just worried that if sothing happened to us, you’d have no one to rely on.
Looking at it now, our worries were misplaced. With Xiaomi around, and the Zhou family too, no matter what happens to your mother and , you wouldn’t have a bad life. Thinking about it, your mother and I are truly blessed in a way."
Zhao Yulan looked at her husband silently: "Look at you, going on and on, my sister-in-law is still here."
"What I’m saying is just a response to Sister-in-law’s doubts, isn’t it?" Lin Baohe glanced at Jiang Xin, who was smiling, "Sister-in-law, are you relieved now?"
"Relieved, relieved..." Jiang Xinwan nodded repeatedly, "Actually, I always knew that my third brother and sister-in-law are sensible and care deeply about their child. But sotis I just can’t help thinking you guys are too kind-hearted.
Of course, I’m not saying you’re not kind, just that while you’re kind and easy-going, you’re not the type to worry about others’ opinions to the point of losing your principles."
"I’ve never been that way." Lin Baohe shrugged, "If you don’t believe , you can go to Dalin Village and ask around. Even now, when Aunt Zhong sees , her legs shake with fear."
"You think that’s sothing to be proud of? You even want Sister-in-law to inquire..." Zhao Yulan rolled her eyes at her husband, then turned to Jiang Xinwan, "Sister-in-law, I said earlier, he’s just a different kind of troublemaker, so you don’t have to worry about him being taken advantage of. If soone tries to sell him, he’d probably end up selling that person instead, don’t you think?"
"I do, I do, of course..." Jiang Xinwan paused, then laughed, "When you look at it, so things in a person’s nature are really quite interesting. I heard from my in-laws that Second Uncle and Aunt are that kind of people—easy to talk to but incredibly resourceful and unafraid of trouble. So it seems Third Brother has a personality quite similar to theirs."
...
After Jiang Xinwan left, Lin Baohe looked seriously at Chuxia: "Chuxia, I’ve decided. Tomorrow morning, I’m going to the Lin Family and ask your great uncle to transfer what belongs to us under your na.
Since we’ve already bought this courtyard, let’s directly move our things here, and put those shares and stuff under your na. Let’s get this sorted out early, so your second uncle won’t have any ideas."
"Alright." Chuxia agreed readily. Anyway, since she is her parents’ only daughter, even if she disagreed, they would still insist, and she would only make them uncomfortable by refusing, so why be pretentious?
Since she would be living with her parents for the rest of her life, what difference does it make whose na the property is under? For her parents, doing this elevates her status and would make them happier living under the Zhou family’s care, so why not cooperate?
Early the next morning, before Lin Baohe could leave, Li Xinwei arrived first, walking in with a bright smile. After greeting everyone, she focused on Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan apologetically, saying she was blinded by foolishness recently which led her to do such things: "Third Brother, Sister-in-law, please don’t stoop to my level, I was just worried about the children, and couldn’t control my emotions."
"We were never really angry..." Lin Baohe looked at her plainly, "Second Sister-in-law, there’s no need to take it to heart, for us, if we took everything to heart, we’d really get angry to death."
Awkwardly smiling, Li Xinwei glanced at Old Madam Zhou and coughed lightly: "Aunt Zhou, I was very rude last ti. Please don’t hold it against ."
"What are you here for today?" Old Madam Zhou looked at her indifferently, "If you’re here to apologize, there’s no need. What’s done is done, and saying a few pointless words and asking for forgiveness is a bit too much.
Of course, saying this doesn’t an we hold a grudge against you, just stating the fact. Also, our Zhou family doesn’t welco you here, so whether you have sothing to do or not, you better not co over in the future.
Or if you want to say that the people living here are all from the Lin family and that we Zhou family can’t control it, then I, as an old woman, must add that for us, the Zhou family and the Lin family are one, and of course, which Lin family that refers to should be very clear to you."
Old Madam Zhou’s words were absolutely unkind, a big slap right to the face. Normally, being so rejected, most would just leave, but Li Xinwei still managed to joke with a bright smile: "Aunt Zhou, you really have a great sense of humor. I’ve always heard you weren’t an old-fashioned person, and now I truly believe it.
You probably misunderstood my intentions. I ca today to truly resolve the issue with Third Brother and Sister-in-law’s family. When Zhiliang found out about last ti, he really told off.
He said Laosan suffered a lot outside before finally making it back ho, yet I didn’t care for him and unreasonably caused trouble for them. If I didn’t co to apologize, he would divorce .
I even felt wronged at the ti, believing I wasn’t wrong in my actions. But after being ignored by him for a few days, I reflected on it. If Zhiliang values his brother so much, and if they beco estranged because of , then I’d truly be a sinner.
So, regardless of how everyone sees today, I must show my attitude and let Third Brother and Sister-in-law see my sincerity. I believe we can definitely get along well in the future!"
