Returning to her bedroom, she didn't rush into her space to report the incident to her sister and mother. Instead, she tried to analyze the importance of the matter on her own. Now that she was about to become a mother, she couldn't always rely on her sister and mother for some things. She should learn to handle them herself and come back to them if she couldn't solve the problem.
Even though she thought well now, the next morning, before she woke up, her mother-in-law came to her room to ask about the result.
Xingxing was a little annoyed. She had been sleepier than before since she became pregnant. It was only a little after six in the morning, but her mother-in-law came straight into the house without caring about anything. Not to mention that the beating did not disturb her rest, but she could not accept such an attitude.
But the child still suppressed her anger and gave herself a psychological hint that this was at the Zhao family, not her own home. After changing her expression, Xingxing got up in a good attitude and told her mother-in-law what she thought.
In short, if you want to collaborate, talk to my sister based on your own strength. If you don't have the ability, then it's all in vain. Last night, Xingxing analyzed the Zhao family's business situation: all four brothers were working, and their family, like the Jiang family, had their daughters-in-law run the business. However, none of these daughters-in-law were as talented or capable in business as the Jiang family's daughter-in-law.
Originally, my father had brought the Zhao family into the Pudong housing development business, which was like him taking meat from his own bowl and giving it to the Zhao family. What a great thing! But after less than two years, the Zhao family insisted on going out on their own.
I don't know what the Jiang family has done to his family, so I won't talk about it. Business is a vicious cycle, which has led to the current financial difficulties and the urgent need to reach a cooperation with the Jiang family in exchange for some capital turnover. Now that the cash flow is tight, he thinks of the Jiang family again. He must have asked his second aunt, but she didn't agree, so he set his sights on himself, who was just pregnant.
When Xingxing first arrived, she'd thought, if the Zhao family asked her for something minor, she'd just do it. After all, she was their daughter-in-law, and she couldn't refuse to help. But some things can be done, and some can't. This one couldn't be done. She'd thought about it for a long time last night. If they asked her the first time, there would be a second. Rather than causing a rift later, it was better not to agree in the first place. Besides, if it was a simple matter, why didn't the Zhao family go to the Jiang family business conference themselves instead of asking her? Why not ask her second aunt?
This must be because it's not so easy to negotiate, and it might even be an unequal treaty. Did he think he'd agree just because she was in the Jiang family? Tsk! He was overthinking it. She wouldn't approve it. Besides, if she really had signed a contract with her sister, the clan members wouldn't be fools. This matter would have to be exposed, and it would affect her sister's position in the clan, making her the culprit. He couldn't be so obsessed with love that he ignored his family for love. That's what his mother had said.
When Mrs. Zhao heard Xingxing's resolute refusal, her expression changed immediately. Her face sulked, her eyes looked different, her tone was extremely harsh, and the ending of every sentence was filled with tension.
Xingxing pretended not to understand, slowly got up and changed out of her nightgown, then followed her mother-in-law out of the house and into the main room.
When she entered the inner room, she saw a room full of people, probably waiting for her. After her mother-in-law came in, she loudly announced Xingxing's reply. The eldest sister-in-law was sitting on a chair beside her. After hearing what her mother-in-law said, she immediately slammed the table excitedly, which scared Xingxing.
"Fifth brother's wife, you are also the daughter-in-law of our Zhao family. Why don't you lend a hand when our family is in trouble?"
