"Chaochao, we haven't taken care of you these years, so please don't do anything stupid! Your wife..." Forget it, the old couple thought their son had abducted someone's daughter.
Wen Zhichao was at a loss for words. How could his parents have such little confidence in him? But thinking back to when he'd thought so, he let go of some of his unhappiness and said, "What are you two thinking? My wife comes from a legitimate family. You've heard of Xia Chunfu from Xia Village, right? That's his daughter!"
The two elders of the Wen family were even more surprised. Xia Village was not a special village, but Xia Chunfu was well-known for his wealth in the neighborhood. They didn't expect that their son could marry Xia Chunfu's daughter!
Before his parents could react, Wen Zhichao continued, "Please help me paint the house. I'll take care of the rest myself, so you don't have to worry too much. Also, don't worry about the character of the Xia family's daughter. If she's not virtuous, I won't marry a troublemaker to make things difficult for myself. I've been mean to you before, but I just hope that when I marry her, you'll be more tolerant of her, considering that she's been wronged enough to follow someone like me!"
It is normal for a mother-in-law to bully her daughter-in-law. If the daughter-in-law can't stand it, she will be gossiped about. Xia Ruzheng is the person Wen Zhichao likes, and now of course he can't help but give his parents a shot of prevention in advance.
The two elders of the Wen family were in complicated mood. The news was shocking, but it was a great thing that their son could get married, so there was nothing to be unhappy about. However, they did not expect that their son would talk so much to them for the first time, and it was actually for his future wife. He was already protecting her like this before she even got married. They didn't know what their life would be like in the future!
It's just that the Wen family's situation is special. If other people's sons behaved like this, their parents would just slap them in the face and the son wouldn't have any complaints. Moreover, this would obviously worsen the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Wen's parents didn't feel upset for long. No matter what, this was a good thing.
Wen Zhichao added, "Of course, I'm not a domineering person, so you two elders can rest assured."
Wen's mother couldn't help but say, "Why don't I go and see what the girl looks like?" It's impossible that the parents don't know what the girl looks like before she comes home, right?
Wen Zhichao said, "Of course, but they don't have a mother at home, so it's not easy to contact her directly. We can find a time to invite them over for dinner so that you two can have some peace of mind."
The two elders of the Wen family thought this was more appropriate.
Wen Zhichao had already decided to handle everything for his wedding himself. He had never troubled his parents much since he was little, and even when they refused to support him after he lost a fight, he had no intention of relying on them. By doing it himself, he could be more certain of a grand wedding.
On Xia Ruzheng's side, Xia Chunfu was also helping her with psychological support.
"Our two families are different from others. You don't have a mother, so there's no one to teach you many things. When you marry into their family, you have to get along well with your mother-in-law. If your mother can't teach you, you can learn from her. You should also be able to imagine their family. Chaochao is like that, so his relationship with his parents isn't that close. I'm not asking you to help repair the mother-son and father-son relationship or anything like that. If you do too much, you'll only cause trouble. Who knows, they might think it's best now. Dad has already inquired for you. Chaochao said that it's okay to just show respect over there."
Xia Ruzheng nodded. The relationship between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was indeed different from others. What she should do still depended on Wen Zhichao's attitude.
Xia Chunfu continued to talk about some relatives and friends of the Wen family, including some families with whom they had a bad relationship. It can be said that Xia Chunfu really understood all the twists and turns clearly.
Later, Xia Chunfu discussed Wen Zhichao's siblings, their personalities, and which of the Wen family elders preferred. He also offered advice on how Xia Ruzheng could please his parents-in-law. Xia Ruzheng listened attentively. These were the duties of a mother, but now Xia Chunfu was truly acting as both father and mother. He appreciated his thoughtfulness.
Xia Ruzheng had no objections to his relationship with Wen Zhichao. He simply recalled the stark contrast between his past and present lives, and felt deeply moved. He believed that one's path was truly one's own choosing and forged. He couldn't say how good things would be with Wen Zhichao, but no matter how bad things got, they certainly wouldn't be as bad as being with Huang Zhong.
