Ai Xiaoxia transmigrated to the early 1990s, becoming a newlywed bride returning home.
Unexpectedly, her maiden home was a wolf's den, actually forcing her to extort money from her husban...
Chapter 349 Make It Clear
Wang Lijuan's face became increasingly worse: "My dad went to find you? He, I, it wasn't me who asked him to find you." Wang Lijuan said incoherently.
Lin Xiaoxia said: "I know it wasn't you who asked him to go. I guess it was Ai Zhu who went to find him."
This surprised not only Wang Lijuan, but also Lin Xiao, who stood up in surprise: "What? Ai Zhu went to see my father-in-law? What is she going to do?"
Lin Xiaoxia said: "I think it's revenge on us, to sow discord in our family."
At this time, Wang Lijuan remembered something and said, "Ai Zhu came to see me a few days ago and said some provocative words, but I didn't believe her and ignored her. I didn't expect that she would go to see my dad."
Lin Xiao looked at Wang Lijuan and asked, "Ai Zhu came to see you, why didn't you tell me?"
Wang Lijuan lowered her head and said, "I don't think anything happened. I'll just ignore her. I don't want you to worry about it."
Lin Xiao frowned and asked Wang Lijuan: "What did Ai Zhu say?"
Wang Lijuan said: "She said that Xiaoxia helped the second brother to open the store but didn't help us. Didn't you tell me this? Xiaoxia asked you and you didn't want to do business. So I also know that it's not what Aizhu said, so I asked her not to come to me again."
After hearing this, Lin Xiaoxia understood. She said to Wang Lijuan, "This is what Ai Zhu said to your father. Uncle Wang came to me and said that I was partial to my second brother and wanted me to help you open a store. I told him that my eldest brother had no time or interest in business, and he said he could help with the management." Lin Xiaoxia said this last sentence because she wanted to see what Wang Lijuan meant.
Wang Lijuan quickly waved her hands and said, "Xiaoxia, don't listen to what my dad said. My dad was also instigated by Ai Zhu. I know everything about your second brother opening a shop. He also told me what you told your eldest brother. I don't think you are partial. It was wrong for my dad to look for you, and it was also wrong for me. I should have watched over him. No, I didn't know this time. If I knew, I would never let him look for you, really."
At this time, Wang Lijuan explained anxiously. She was afraid and angry inside. Why didn't her father listen to her? She had agreed with her parents before that if there was anything, they should not go directly to the Lin family, but should communicate with her first. Why didn't they listen?
Lin Xiao sat next to Wang Lijuan and comforted her, "It's not your fault. It was Ai Zhu who instigated this."
Wang Lijuan had kept many things from Lin Xiao in the past, so she couldn't relax at all. "I really didn't expect my dad to go find Xiaoxia. Really, if I had known, I would never have let him go."
Lin Xiaoxia said, "I believe what you said, sister-in-law. I will take care of Ai Zhu. She will never set foot outside Dawa Village again. Otherwise, she will suffer a fate worse than death." Then she added, "Actually, I came here today because I have something in my heart that I want to tell you."
Wang Lijuan said, "You say." She said with panic in her expression.
"Uncle Wang told me that you are always afraid of causing trouble to the Lin family, and worried that your mother's family affairs will disgust my eldest brother, so you do a lot of things by yourself. You would rather buy things and beg others in secret than let the Lin family know, for fear that the Lin family will look down on you. Sister-in-law, do you really consider yourself a member of the Lin family?" Lin Xiaoxia looked at Wang Lijuan and asked.
She has also noticed during this period that although Wang Lijuan is thoughtful and thinks a lot, she has no bad intentions and has never instigated or harmed anyone. Moreover, she is really good to Lin Xiao. Perhaps she is too inferior in her heart, so she is not open and honest in doing things, which leads to her hiding many things.
So Lin Xiaoxia still hopes to help Wang Lijuan resolve her emotional issues, otherwise her brother will have a hard time in the future.
Wang Lijuan was so panicked when she heard what Lin Xiaoxia asked. Her hands began to tremble. "I, I consider myself a member of the Lin family. I'm really afraid that you will look down on me. My family always has demands. I'm afraid that I can't help Lin Xiao and will cause him more trouble. I really want to do better."
Lin Xiaoxia looked at Wang Lijuan and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm not saying this to embarrass you. I didn't talk to you alone because you and Big Brother are the closest people in the world. You're the ones who will spend your lives together. If the person next to you is still hiding things, who can you trust? Big Brother is your husband, you should trust him. Otherwise, there will be a lot of estrangement between you and Big Brother in the future, and it will be difficult to save the relationship. You still have a choice now. Don't wait until one day you can't choose, then it will be too late to regret."
Lin Xiaoxia's words touched Wang Lijuan's heart. She had indeed concealed too much. She had kept many things in her heart for too long and she really couldn't bear it anymore.
She had long wanted an opportunity to open her heart to Lin Xiao, but she had always been afraid and had never dared to speak. Recently, her insomnia had become even worse.
What Lin Xiaoxia said hit the nail on the head. She was about to go crazy if she didn't say anything.
So she said, "I, I know, but I also hope that I can help you like my brother-in-law, and make progress together with the second brother like An Ning did. But my family is really too much of a burden. This is not just a matter of poverty or wealth, it's also my vanity. Our family used to be poor, and we had three daughters and no sons. We were always looked down upon. I was used to being looked down upon by others, so I always worked hard. But my efforts only helped me get a stable job on my own. Until I met Lin Xiao, everything was different for me."
Speaking of Lin Xiao, Wang Lijuan's face unconsciously showed a feeling of happiness: "When Lin Xiao and I first got together, I didn't know about the Lin family's family background. At that time, I really didn't think much about it. I just liked him very much. Later, he took me home, and I knew that the Lin family's conditions were so good. But at that time, I didn't think too much about it. Until later, my relatives from my mother's side learned about Lin Xiao's family background, and then those relatives who looked down on our family before came to visit. The relatives who saw me making sarcastic remarks before also treated me with a smile. I really enjoyed the feeling at that time. So at that time, out of vanity, they asked me for some small things, and I helped them for the sake of face. But I really didn't know that the more I helped, the more pressure I felt, but I didn't dare to tell Lin Xiao."
At this point, the smile on Wang Lijuan's face slowly disappeared, and turned into a haze. She continued, "These vanities slowly began to affect my life. I also knew that I was wrong, so I wanted to refuse. But my parents were enjoying this sense of superiority. If I didn't agree to help them, they would come to Lin Xiao themselves. I was afraid of them coming. I was afraid of causing trouble for Lin Xiao, so I had to bear it all by myself. Later, the pressure on me was too great. I often suffered from insomnia and could not conceive. I secretly went to the hospital for treatment. The more I concealed, the more lies I needed to support myself. Sometimes I was afraid of saying something wrong in my sleep."
