Chapter 385: Chapter 262 The Good Daughter-in-law/The Last Mont_2
“You all…” Old Madam Zhou shook her head helplessly, “really went too far in the opposite direction. I liked her and treated her well because I thought she was a quiet, upright and devoted girl. Alas, luckily no great harm has been done, otherwise, we would all be regretting it now.”
“Yes, it’s all our fault,” Lin Yanqiu hurriedly admitted her mistake.
“Alright, it’s not all your fault. As I recall, there were several tis when you had just said sothing bad about that child and I would flare up at you. In hindsight, that must have made it impossible for you to speak your minds.”
In fact, at that ti, it wasn’t because I was so fond of her that I protected her, but because, for a girl, breaking off an engagent is already a disgraceful matter. And if other excuses were to pile on, where would she put her face?
Besides, Xiaomi has had a stubborn personality since she was young. I was single-minded in thinking that it must have been Xiaomi’s fault for not treating her well, thus hurting her and making it impossible for them to stay together.
Oh! Speaking of which, I can’t really bla you guys. It’s all because I was muddle-headed back then and thought I had a keen eye…” Old Madam Zhou said and looked at i Xiaofeng, “Child, grandma thanks you. If it weren’t for you, grandma might have been confused for a lifeti.”
Old Madam Zhou’s solemn expression made i Xiaofeng feel embarrassed, “Grandma, it’s good that you don’t find too ddleso.”
“Zhongkang…” Old Madam Zhou looked at Zhou Zhongkang, “In the future, treat Xiao Feng well, marrying her is your good fortune.”
Zhou Zhongkang nodded: “Grandma, rest assured, she is the best person to in this world.”
“You child…” Old Madam Zhou chuckled twice, her face showing helplessness, “Are you still holding a grudge against your father and grandfather? Alas, it’s alright as long as you’re back, as long as you’re back.”
“Zhongkang, are you still angry that the Eldest Uncle’s Wife hasn’t been taking care of you?” Owing to i Xiaofeng’s help in exposing Ye iru, Lin Yanqiu took the initiative to bring up the matter that had always troubled Zhou Zhongkang.
Zhou Zhongkang replied indifferently, “Eldest Uncle’s Wife, I have no right to bla you. I’m not angry with you. It’s my father who doesn’t value , and it has nothing to do with you.”
“Just by looking at you, I know that you’re holding a grudge against the Eldest Uncle’s Wife…” Lin Yanqiu sighed, “Do you still think that those years, I took the four of them, my brothers, and lived at my mother’s house?”
Zhou Zhongkang didn’t make a sound, but his aning was very clear. Lin Yanqiu continued, “In fact, how could my mother’s family afford to support us? Over these years, besides my eldest sister Lin Yani, when have I ever interacted with anyone else from my family? Even when Xiaomi got married, only my eldest sister’s family ca. Why is that, don’t you have any questions about it?”
After a pause, Zhou Zhongkang said: “I wasn’t there, I didn’t know.”
Old Madam Zhou waved her hand: “Yanqiu, let it go. Having a good daughter-in-law like Xiao Feng, one day, Zhongkang will understand whether the people in this family are close to him or not.”
“Mom, it’s fine. After all these years, I’ve figured things out. Instead of keeping it under wraps and letting the children misunderstand, it’s better to make it clear, so everyone feels more at ease.”
Old Madam Zhou then comforted Lin Yanqiu with a pat.
“Chuxia, I’ve wanted to talk to you about this for a long ti…” Lin Yanqiu turned to Chuxia, “You got married, and neither grandma nor grandpa nor your third and fourth aunts ca. Didn’t you feel unhappy about that?”
“There were so many people that day, I was in such a daze that I didn’t even recognize everyone, hehe…” Chuxia laughed sheepishly, “How could I be unhappy?”
Lin Yanqiu, amused, touched her head and then turned to Zhou Zhongkang: “Zhongkang, I know you’ve resented the Eldest Uncle’s Wife and she’s always known that, but it’s not sothing she could bring herself to say. Your mother and father couldn’t just reveal the shortcomings of the Eldest Uncle’s Wife’s family to you, so they let you continue to misunderstand.
In our family, from a young age, my sister and I were not favored by our parents, while the third and fourth daughters were the apples of their eye. As for why, there’s really no way to explain it. Perhaps parents’ favor or disfavor for their children is inherent.
After I married into the Zhou family, my parents hoped I could bring together my third and fourth sisters with your father and third uncle. How could I agree to such a thing? All three sisters marrying into the Zhou family, what would that have looked like?”
After your father married your mother, my parents’ attitude towards cooled significantly. Later, after your third uncle got married, they outright told I didn’t need to co ho anymore.
My temperant is also stubborn. If they told not to co back, I really wouldn’t go back. Then, before long, the Zhou family encountered that great disaster, and in an instant, the family was scattered as far as the ends of the earth.”
I wasn’t ‘sent down’ to the countryside, not because I rode on the coattails of my mother’s family, but rather, the old leader of our unit knew my relationship with my mother’s family and took pity on , transferring to the canteen as an ordinary worker.
