What kind of family has what kind of rules, if you remain the sa as before, you will be ostracized. People standing with you might be seen as lowering their status. Tell , why would they stand with you?
Not to ntion anything else, just take the Qiang family for instance. In the past, when they relied on your brother-in-law, Qiang Junjie was so satisfied with iying, he couldn’t wait to see her three tis a day and marry her. But now?
Just because they found better connections and have better prospects, they don’t need us anymore. Their attitude changed imdiately. Ask iying now, how long has it been since she last saw Qiang Junjie?
If not for the past favors your brother-in-law did for him, he would have broken up with iying ages ago. Now he’s just dragging it out, waiting for iying to break it off herself.
Honestly, I was so angry about this at the ti. My niece, she’s got the looks, the figure, and the education, how could he just say he’s not interested and an it?
I even went to scold him for being ungrateful. And when I did, he just stood there smiling and apologizing, saying he’s just busy and didn’t an anything by it.
That’s nonsense, everyone knows he’s getting close with County Chief Loo’s daughter. So people have even seen him shopping with Loo Yang at the supply and marketing cooperative, buying a watch.
If he had nothing to do with Loo Yang, would he buy her a watch? It’s not like buying a pound of candy or pastries. iying has been engaged to him for so long and he hasn’t even bought her a watch!
But you can say what you want about this; as long as he doesn’t admit it, there’s really nothing I can do. Your brother-in-law can’t affect his future anymore; at best, I can beat him up a bit, curse him a bit, what else can I do?
Later, when I got ho, your brother-in-law talked sense into . Over these days, I’ve co to understand, if the families are incompatible, we can’t bla others for being selective.
Besides, we all know what kind of temper our iying has; she doesn’t have much skill, but her ambitions are sky-high. Bringing a daughter-in-law like that into the family is just too much trouble for them.
Especially since Qiang Junjie’s second aunt works at the school, iying doesn’t just fail to please her, she deliberately goes against her. Don’t you see, she’s digging her own grave?
Now, the Loo family extends a branch, Qiang Junjie’s second aunt whispers in the elders’ ears, and before Qiang Junjie can express anything himself, the elders have already made it clear they’re willing to marry into the Loo family.
After being with iying for so long, Qiang Junjie is just at the point of being fed up with her. A branch like this cos along, and you think he wouldn’t quickly grab it? So, in hindsight, we really can’t bla them.
Yulan, I’m saying all this, not to imply that Commander Xiao Zhou will be the sa, just as an example. We’ve already suffered such a loss once; we can’t fall down the sa pit again.
"Second sister, after listening for so long, I only have one feeling, that Qiang Junjie is no good, and besides, how does he compare to my son-in-law?
My son-in-law and my daughter are together out of true feelings, not to cling to soone or please anyone. He simply approves of my daughter. My daughter’s temper is completely different from iying’s, so what’s there to compare?"
"Alright, alright, bla for talking too much, bla for that, okay? Yulan, why won’t you take advice at all now? I am your own sister, can I really wish you harm? Why on earth would I be busying myself with this?
Let put it this way, your brother-in-law has reached this age, the Town Secretary’s term is almost over, we’ve never thought about gaining anything from Chuxia.
As for Xiaoqing, he has his own ideas, he’s said that if he doesn’t get into college, he won’t give up. If he doesn’t get in this year, he’ll try next year. With his academic performance, getting in within two years is a sure thing.
Graduating from college ans a secure job for life. What do your brother-in-law and I have to worry about? However big opportunities Xiaoqing can seize, we’ll never let him put Chuxia in a difficult position, so she won’t be in a tough spot with her husband’s family. You can rest assured about this.
I’m telling you all this just so you, Baohe, and Chuxia can live peacefully and happily from now on, without letting other people’s issues affect your family."
"Second sister, I appreciate your concern, but I just don’t understand, how is our interaction with Baojuan’s family going to affect Chuxia’s happiness, or our family’s peace and harmony?"
"Yulan..." Zhao Yucui gazed at her sister without words, "What do I have to say to make you understand? Alright, I’ll be more direct. The Zhou family is a prestigious family, and you should socialize more with such families in the future, instead of hanging around with ordinary folks from small households. Otherwise, the Zhou family might look down on you, and so might their relatives and friends, which could in turn make them look down on the Zhou family. If it really cos to that, how would it be good for Chuxia? Would they cherish her?"
"You’re overthinking it. The Zhou family isn’t that snobbish. They knew from the beginning of the marriage that we’re ordinary farrs with no special skills, and they stated this plainly to others when discussing the marriage. Plus, you attended Chuxia’s wedding, did you see them treating our relatives differently?"
