“Yihui only needs to give us thirty yuan a month. You two can keep the rest. We're not greedy. We've worked so hard to raise Yihui and nurture him into such an outstanding person. We deserve some credit for our efforts, right? So, this thirty yuan…”
Before Zhu Ying could speak, Lin Yihui said, "It is a son's duty to support his parents in their old age. We will give you this thirty yuan. If it is not enough, just let us know."
It seems that Lin Yihui also agrees to let his wife stay at home to cultivate their relationship and fulfill his filial duties to his parents.
It seems that when men are unable to be filial to their parents, they will find a woman to take care of the household and be filial to their parents for them!
If he were truly filial, he could simply come home and show filial piety himself. It seems they are all just pretending to be filial; in their hearts, they themselves are the most important.
Zhu Ying was furious after hearing what Lin's mother said, but the courtyard was dimly lit, so no one could see her expression!
She never wanted to come to the countryside again, but the Lin family actually wanted her to stay in the countryside to take care of them. Were they all disabled?
Before, I didn't need anyone to take care of me, but now that she's here, I need her to take care of me?
"Sister Zhu Ying, you're staying? That's wonderful! I really like you, Sister Zhu Ying! You're so beautiful and hardworking. Does that mean I won't have to cook or do laundry anymore?" Lin Yiwan looked very happy and kindly put a piece of fish on Zhu Ying's plate. "Sister Zhu Ying, I'm not the kind of difficult sister-in-law. I'll definitely listen to you from now on."
Lin Yifeng and Lin Yilin didn't say anything, unaware of what their family was doing, so they ate quietly.
Lin Chuyang's mother said in an envious tone, "I really envy you. You found such a good daughter-in-law. You don't have to do anything in the future. You can just stay at home and relax. I don't know when I will be able to live such a good life!"
“Your Chuyang is so outstanding, finding a partner should be easy for him. He just hasn’t met someone he likes yet, so don’t worry,” Lin’s mother said.
Lin Chuyang's mother pursed her lips, "What's this about liking or disliking? As long as you can have children, you can get married, right? Back then, we got married after just one meeting. Where did the 'liking' come from? It was all about getting to know each other slowly, and then..."
“What you said is true, but that was decades ago. Young people today have received modern educations and their ideas are different from ours. They pursue love now,” Lin’s mother said. “I’m also very happy that Yihui has met someone he likes. And Zhu Ying is such a good person. I believe that my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will definitely get along well in the future.”
Lin's mother then looked at Zhu Ying and asked, "Zhu Ying, when do you think would be a good time to get married? Tomorrow or the day after?"
"Auntie, can I think about it properly?" Zhu Ying was starting to have second thoughts. She was exhausted from working in the fields every day. Just thinking about having to work in the fields all year round made her unable to bear it. She didn't want to live that kind of life.
Her parents doted on her so much that they wouldn't even let her do housework, telling her to find a man who could do housework so she could continue to be pampered.
But her husband's family isn't her own family. How could they possibly treat her like a daughter? They'd only treat her as a source of labor.
Lin Yihui is even worse than Gu Yuanshan. Gu Yuanshan treats her badly, but he never thought of sending her back to his hometown to take care of his parents. Unlike Lin Yihui, whose parents aren't even that old, he just wants to shirk his responsibilities and wait for her to serve him.
They don't deserve it!
The dinner was a great success, with everyone enjoying themselves. However, Zhu Ying was ashen-faced as a candle. She suddenly thought of Gu Yuanshan and regretted leaving him. Although he hadn't treated her well, he was still a good person. She wished she could try harder to win Gu Yuanshan over and make him fall in love with her.
What her parents said wasn't wrong. Who knows if the jobs they find later will get better or worse? When Lin's mother was saying those things, Lin Yihui didn't utter a single word of rebuttal, which shows that he agreed with her.
Perhaps he felt that women should bear everything at home and shouldn't have a good life!
"Yiwan, is this really a good idea?" Lin's mother asked softly. "Will Zhu Ying really be scared away by us?"
"It should be possible. I didn't see how much she liked my brother. She doesn't need him. Seeing our family like a fire pit, why would she jump into it?" Lin Yiwan said.
Whether someone likes another person can be seen from their eyes. There wasn't much affection in Lin Yihui and Zhu Ying's eyes; they probably just felt that they had reached the age to get married and should get married.
It's like completing a task.
Lin Yiwan was right. The next morning, when she got up, Zhu Ying was no longer in the room, and even her luggage was gone. There was only a letter addressed to Lin Yihui on the table. Lin Yiwan quickly handed the letter to Lin Yihui, "Big brother, this is a letter from Sister Zhu Ying to you."
After reading Zhu Ying's letter, Lin Yihui was anxious to chase after her and bring her back. Lin Yiwan quickly grabbed her older brother's wrist and pulled him back.
Lin's mother came out of the kitchen and looked at Lin Yihui sternly, "Eldest son, do you know who you've found?"
Lin Yihui stared blankly at his mother, "Who is it?"
"A mistress, a mistress who destroyed someone else's marriage and caused their divorce..." After that, Lin's mother told Lin Yihui the truth, "You didn't find out about her first, yet you still wanted to marry her. If we hadn't found out by chance, we would have been kept in the dark. If she were a good person, I would have let you get married directly."
Lin Yihui found it unbelievable after hearing this; he never expected Zhu Ying to have done so many things.
He never expected that Jin Changfeng would successfully evade the situation, while he would not, and instead brought Zhu Ying home, shamelessly declaring that he wanted to marry her.
He felt like a joke.
“Since Zhu Ying left on her own, let it go. Now you know what kind of person she is, so don’t fall for her trap again. Mom has already asked a matchmaker to help you find a suitable partner. This time, get married before you leave, otherwise I’m afraid you’ll be schemed against by other women in the future. Once you’re married and have a sense of responsibility, you’ll naturally reject other women who come near you,” Lin’s mother said helplessly.
Lin Yihui returned to his room, sat on the edge of the bed, and began to review the process of how he met and got to know Zhu Ying. Now, no matter how he looked at it, it seemed like he had deliberately approached her.
But I got carried away and actually decided to marry someone I'd only known for such a short time.
Now that he's come to his senses, Lin Yihui feels incredibly fortunate. Luckily, there was nothing between him and Zhu Ying. Otherwise, even if Zhu Ying had run away, her parents would probably have used their power to force him to marry her.
