Wen Qiao's eyes darted around, unable to meet her mother's gaze.
He quickly made up a reason and said:
"It's nothing, I just bumped it accidentally, it's probably just congested. Mom, you know, it's been so many years since I was bitten by a snake, and the doctor said the snake wasn't venomous."
It's possible that Wen Qiao was young and scared at the time, which caused her to develop a high fever.
Because Wen Qiao's high fever wouldn't go down, Lü Yazhi discovered that her daughter had been bitten by a snake.
She only had one daughter, and that high fever was one of the few times that almost cost Wen Qiao her life.
Lü Yazhi remembered it very clearly, of course.
Lu Yazhi told Wen Qiao to be more careful next time and not to be so careless.
After you move to the city and live with the Shen family, you need to be more composed, otherwise they will look down on you.
Lü Yazhi also said that Mr. Shen looked like a highly educated intellectual.
People like them have high expectations of themselves and others.
Hearing her mother's words, Wen Qiao's previously wandering gaze suddenly became serious.
She really wanted to tell her mother right now that the man she married wasn't Shen Haiyang.
It was Shen Haiyang's adoptive father, Shen Jichuan.
"Xiao Qiao, don't think your mother is nagging. If your father were still alive, I would never let you, a girl, take the initiative to go to the city to find a man to marry. But now, it seems that the Shen family treats you very well."
"We should be content. For a family like ours, it's our good fortune to have met such wonderful people as Mr. Shen."
“My daughter and I have nothing. Over the years, you’ve suffered a lot while following me in the Wang family.”
"Now, I'm more content than anything else to see you doing well."
Wen Qiao paused for a moment, then asked seriously.
"Mom, what if I don't want to marry Shen Haiyang? Do you still think I have to marry Shen Haiyang, the man I was betrothed to since childhood?"
Lü Yazhi looked at Wen Qiao and asked, puzzled:
"Xiao Qiao, why are you unwilling? The Shen family has just helped us, and now you're saying you won't marry Haiyang. Does that mean you're using them?"
"Mom, Shen Haiyang, he..."
Before Wen Qiao could finish speaking, Lü Yazhi said, "Does Haiyang only want you to go to the city? You can go to the city, but Mom won't go to Beicheng. Mom will stay in our hometown. If it doesn't work out, I'll go back to our old house."
Wen Qiao never revealed that she had married Shen Jichuan...
If her mother finds out, she definitely won't agree. Not only will she not agree to her being with Shen Jichuan, but she herself will also refuse to go to Beicheng again.
Wen Qiao frowned slightly.
“Mom, our old house is no longer habitable. Besides, we were originally allocated a house by my dad’s workplace. Now that my dad is gone, and you’ve remarried with me, we might not be able to live in that house if we wanted to.”
"Please come with me to the North City first."
Seeing Wen Qiao's hesitant and conflicted expression, Lü Yazhi noticed...
She couldn't help but wonder if Shen Haiyang only wanted Wen Qiao to go to the city by herself and didn't want to take her with him.
Lü Yazhi smiled and looked at Wen Qiao.
"Mom isn't going to the North City anymore."
If she goes to the north of the city and makes her daughter feel ashamed in her husband's family, she won't go.
Wen Qiao immediately became serious.
"Why not go? I told you, you don't need to stay at the Shen family's place if you go to Beicheng. I'll rent a place for you."
“If you stay with me in the north of the city, we’ll be closer, and we can look after each other if anything happens.”
"Mom, you're my only family now. Are you really going to abandon me and not ask about me anymore?"
Lu Yazhi is a virtuous wife and loving mother who puts her husband and children first in everything, so she naturally listens to Wen Qiao.
"Xiao Qiao, Mom knows you're filial. But Mom wants you to be happy even more."
"Mom, I need your care. I'm not doing well without you by my side. Really, I'm not lying to you."
Wen Qiao had to lie in order to get her mother to go back to Beicheng with her.
Now, Lü Yazhi is convinced that she will only be willing to go to Beicheng with her daughter if Wen Qiao is going to marry Shen Haiyang.
If she had known that Wen Qiao was marrying Shen Jichuan, she definitely wouldn't have wanted to go.
Wen Qiao had something on her mind, and when she went shopping with her mother, she was not very interested.
Her mother bought some local specialties and asked Wen Qiao, "What do Mr. Shen and Haiyang like?" Did she know?
Wen Qiao said she wasn't sure.
The gentleman seems to lack nothing and has very low material desires.
She didn't know what Shen Jichuan really liked.
