Zhou's mother slammed the chopsticks on the table.
It's deterrence.
It is also a warning.
Zhou Jingjing was startled, and didn't dare to act pretentiously anymore, so she sat back obediently.
He picked up the chopsticks and ate with his head down like a cat.
I dared not utter a single sound.
That moment also really shocked Ruan Xiaotang who was present.
This future mother-in-law is really not a good piece of meat.
He glanced at Zhou Jingjing next to him.
I don't think this little girl has a brother complex.
From her eyes, one can see that she is full of attachment and admiration for her second brother Zhou Xingze, but there is a little impatience, or to be more precise, disdain in the way she looks at herself.
This disdain has nothing to do with her appearance or background, she simply thinks you are not worthy of her brother.
Ruan Xiaotang sighed inwardly.
Each member of this family has 800 tricks on their side, it's really hard to get along with them.
Some are secretly worried about their future.
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflict!
Conflict between sister-in-law and aunt!
Conflict between sisters-in-law!
It makes me feel dizzy just thinking about it.
"Eat a yellow peach."
Zhou Xingze scooped up half a bright yellow peach with a spoon.
Ruan Xiaotang didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, trying to reduce her presence as much as possible.
………………
"That girl is a country girl born and raised in the countryside!!!"
After dinner, Zhou's mother motioned Zhou Xingze to come over and talk.
Zhou Xingze sat on a chair in his mother's bedroom.
Zhou's mother sat on the edge of the bed.
The two sat facing each other.
Zhou Xingze couldn't believe that his mother, a teacher, could be so snobbish.
They actually divide people into different classes and treat them differently.
He jumped up and looked at his mother opposite him with shocked eyes.
Xiaotang was extremely dissatisfied with the use of the term "country girl" to belittle her.
"Xiaotang grew up in the countryside, but that's OK. She is upright, kind, honest and hardworking. I like such an optimistic and strong girl. I will never allow my mother to say that about her!"
Zhou's mother was furious at her son's words.
As a mother, I was actually played around by my own son.
He was so unfilial that he secretly found such a country bumpkin without telling me.
If her relatives and colleagues knew that her outstanding son had married a daughter-in-law from the countryside, they would be so laughing that their heads would drop.
How shameful.
"Why didn't you tell me the truth? Why did you hide it from me? I knew her background, and I would never let her enter my house."
Faced with such an unreasonable mother.
Zhou Xingze was so angry that he ground his teeth.
"I didn't mean to lie to you. The girl I went on a blind date with was her."
Zhou's mother refused to give in.
"Last time you came home, I asked you clearly how you were getting along with Liu Jiajia, and you didn't refute it at the time. I always thought you were dating her. But you brought her home today, and the girl's name was inexplicably changed. Seeing that you care about her so much, fine, as long as you like her. But you are only now telling me that she is from the countryside. You knew it all along, but you kept it from me. Don't you think your mother is a fool?"
Faced with his mother's well-reasoned and aggressive questioning, Zhou Xingze was suddenly overwhelmed.
For so many years, his mother's dictatorial control over his marriage had weighed heavily on his mind.
The only thing missing was an arranged marriage that forced me to worship heaven and earth with a girl I didn't know.
Her extreme words and actions are all for her own good and for her future.
He could understand that.
Why couldn't she, in turn, understand him?
He didn't want to go against his will and spend his life with a woman he didn't like.
That would be unfair to the woman and irresponsible to your own life.
He suppressed his anger, stated his position, and said firmly, "In this life, I only recognize Ruan Xiaotang as my wife. I will marry her. If you really despise her rural background and want to embarrass you, we will move out of this house as soon as possible and make sure we don't get in your way."
"you……"
Zhou's mother was so stimulated by his decisive words that she jumped up suddenly, her eyes stayed in her sockets for a long time without saying a word to refute him.
She understood her son's stubbornness.
Once it made up its mind, she couldn't persuade it.
Just like when he was determined to join the army.
If it rains, my mother will get married, and nothing can stop it.
It took me a long time to calm myself down. The hard way didn't work, so I had to use the soft way.
"You are grown up now and have your own opinions. I can understand that. But you can't deny everything I have done for you. My original intention was all for your own good. The girl I arranged for you has a family in politics. Whether you are promoted or transferred to another job in the future, her family can help you. With such a good family background, how can you be so stubborn? Alas!"
It would be better for a tall and strong man to die on the battlefield and live with dignity than to let him rely on a woman to pave the way for him.
He can also fulfill his mission as a soldier.
Why didn't his mother understand?
"I have to work on my own for my future. That's the only way to live a good life. Mom, you should go to bed early. I'm leaving first."
"you……"
Zhou Xingze took a few steps into the yard and sighed solemnly.
Thinking of Xiaotang still alone in his room.
He had been gone for so long, and was afraid that she would think too much, so he quickened his pace and went into the house.
"Watermelon, why don't you eat it? Isn't it sweet?"
Ruan Xiaotang was sitting stiffly on the edge of the bed, and was startled by his sudden intrusion.
First he shook his head.
He nodded heavily again.
I even found my overreaction a little funny.
"Why are you so nervous? Are you imagining things?"
Zhou Xingze hurried over and sat next to her, hugging her tightly in his arms.
He didn't care about his own unhappiness and comforted her in a gentle voice.
"Your mother doesn't like me? Right!"
Zhou Xingze paused for a few seconds, very surprised that she would have such an intuition.
I don't want to fool her.
Even if it can deceive for a while.
Even after marriage, it cannot be hidden.
Since we have to face it sooner or later.
It’s better to act early than late.
This kind of thing cannot be delayed.
To be frank, "My mother has some personal opinions about your background."
When Ruan Xiaotang heard him say it herself, her mood instantly plummeted to the bottom because of how disliked she was by her future mother-in-law.
What girl wouldn't mind that?
Without his mother's approval, what future do they have?
Ruan Xiaotang was so emotional that her fingertips dug deeply into the muscles of her arm.
"Marry me honestly, and I will find a way to take you out of this house as soon as possible, so that we can live our own lives. I swear, I will never let you suffer any injustice."
Ruan Xiaotang's heart softened, and the tears in her eyes still flowed down in front of him.
She pouted and started sobbing.
As long as he is steadfast in his love for himself.
Then she will never leave him and will be with him till death.
