Qiao Ying just laughed, "Second sister-in-law still doesn’t treat us as family, otherwise why would she be so hesitant?"
"It’s not..." Zhao Yulan wanted to explain, but realized that what they were saying was actually right and, embarrassed, smiled without being able to say a word.
Li Aiyuan silently breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and planned to share this scene with her husband and her in-laws to ease their minds. Unlike Old Man Lin and Old Lady Lin who used to only know how to exploit them, these real relatives, though just t, clearly treated them sincerely as family and even had the intention to compensate. Speaking of which, the younger sister-in-law has finally experienced better days after suffering.
When the dumplings were ready, Second Uncle Zhao Yushui and Aunt Lin Xiaohua arrived; upon entering, Lin Xiaohua warmly grabbed Zhao Yulan’s arm, "Little sister, I heard your family’s Baohe has found rich relatives. I knew it! Little sister is blessed, see, fortune has co just as said."
We are all blessed. Our Qiyan now has a very good marriage; her in-laws treat her so well, as precious as a treasure. Zhenqiang is also a good boy, listens to everything she says.
Speaking of which, this is thanks to little sister’s family; if not for adding happiness for Chuxia, she wouldn’t have t Zhenqiang and wouldn’t have these good days. Wherever she wants to go, no matter how busy Zhenqiang is at work, he insists on accompanying her.
Little sister, you can’t spoil Son-in-law Xia like this, how can you let Xia co back by himself? No matter how high his position is, he should still cherish his wife, don’t you think this is the case?"
Clearly, she ca to show off.
Zhao Yulan was embarrassed to fall out with her, but that didn’t an Chuxia was embarrassed. She stepped forward, pulled Zhao Yulan’s arm away from Lin Xiaohua’s grasp, and looked at her with a forced smile, "Who are you? Stay away from my mom!"
The smile on Lin Xiaohua’s face froze instantly, and following that, she clapped her hands, but before she could act, Zhao Yushan ca out holding Zhao Yushui by the neck, "Take this lump ho with you. If you let her co here again, I will no longer consider you my brother, and mom and dad will not acknowledge you as a son either!"
Lin Xiaohua wasn’t afraid of Zhao Yushui, but that didn’t an she wasn’t afraid of Zhao Yushan; after the last incident, she realized that aside from Zhao Yushui, no one in the world would treat her unconditionally well.
If it had been before, having her daughter married into a good family, she would have definitely left Zhao Yushui to enjoy her life, but now, she wouldn’t be foolish enough to think that her son-in-law’s family would truly support her unconditionally.
If she wanted to live a peaceful life, she still needed to be with Zhao Yushui. Having lived with Zhao Yushui for so many years, she knew although Zhao Yushui was honest and incapable, he was extrely filial. To stay by his side her whole life, she had to make his parents and elder brother accept her.
She indeed hadn’t stopped currying favor with the elderly and her brother-in-law and his wife for a while, but everyone was lukewarm toward her. Earlier, when she ca, it was indeed to offer congratulations after hearing the rumors from outside, but the mont she saw Chuxia, all the grievances she had suffered were rekindled, and she couldn’t help but want to taunt her a few tis.
Who would have thought that it would provoke the elder brother into fury? Now she really regretted her actions, imdiately drew back her hand, and her face filled with an ingratiating smile, "Big brother, everyone keeps asking us about our sister-in-law’s family business, we know nothing, and just worried outsiders might think our family isn’t harmonious, that’s why I and Yushui ca over."
Yulan, I was wrong, Chuxia, sorry, Aunt will no longer hold a grudge against you. Actually, aunt just blas herself for running back here, not you, Aunt knows..."
At this point, still not forgetting to put on an act for herself, Chuxia rolled her eyes at her and pulled Zhao Yulan into the house, "Mom, let’s go eat."
"Bad woman!" With Miaomiao now firmly one of Chuxia’s staunch supporters, she glared at Lin Xiaohua, moved inside the threshold, and with a "bang," shut the door behind her.
"Let’s go." Zhao Yushui sighed dully, drooping his head as he walked out; tis have changed, and Lin Xiaohua hurried to follow him. As she reached the doorway, she couldn’t help but look back, her eyes brimming with jealousy...
After dinner, Great Aunt and Grandpa Lin along with Granny Lin and others returned to Dalin Village with Chuxia’s family. The new house had large kang beds; the won squeezed onto one, and the n onto another. They managed to get through the night.
The kang bed, heated by Fat Auntie, was warm and cozy. After a long day, everyone fell asleep as soon as they touched the bed.
At five in the morning, Zhao Yulan carefully got up to prepare breakfast, and Qiao Ying, who was a light sleeper, also cautiously got up, but after a while trying to help and only managing to hinder, she simply sat down obediently to watch.
