Chapter 401 Good Intentions
Even if Li can still manage, when she really arrives at the Yun family and has Yun family descendants, will her heart be biased towards the Yun family?
Although in the eyes of Mrs. Zhou, Li is a kind-hearted and principled person, she should not do anything to let down the Zhou family.
But human hearts are the most fragile things. Who can know whether people's hearts will change over the years?
She was already old, and even if she held on, she would not be able to manage the Zhou family for a few years. Zhou Ruoyi was still young, and if the second and third houses had selfish motives, who would help Zhou Ruoyi? If it came to this, Li would probably not sit idly by, but she would already be a member of the Yun family by then, and even if she came back to support Zhou Ruoyi, it would not be justified.
When Old Madam Zhou thought about this, she sighed again.
Madam Yun frowned when she saw how worried Madam Zhou was. "I understand your worries, and this will happen decades later. No matter how much I assure you, I'm afraid you won't believe me."
"Right now, the two children are worried about these things, and their health is about to be broken. This is really not a solution. Why don't we call the two children together and ask them about their plans?"
"They are young and have experienced little, but their brains are much stronger than our old bones. Maybe they have plans for these things, but they are afraid that we will disagree, so they dare not say it?"
Just like Yun Yongnian, even though he was so sick, he refused to reveal a single word.
If she hadn't been feeling uneasy, she would have questioned her subordinates one by one, and found the poems Yun Yongnian had written for Li, as well as many things he wanted to give to Li but hadn't given away yet, and if she hadn't thought about how Yun Yongnian cared about the Zhou family more than others...
Only then did I guess this.
She is Yun Yongnian's biological mother, and Yun Yongnian is her biological son, but she is still like this. But for Li, Old Madam Zhou is her mother-in-law, so she would be even more afraid to mention this matter.
If this kind of window paper is kept closed forever, I am afraid that the minds of both people will be completely obscured.
It would be better for the elders to expose the matter themselves.
Seeing that Madam Zhou didn't say anything, Madam Yun continued, "To be honest, when I first found out about this, I also felt very embarrassed. I thought it would be better to find a good marriage and force Yongnian to accept it. After a long time, everything will be fine."
"But think about it carefully. We were all young once, and we know how serious this matter is. We also know the consequences of forcing a cow to drink water. So we should just go along with the child's wishes."
Madam Zhou thought for a while before saying, "I understand what you mean, but this matter is a bit sudden, and I have to think about it carefully."
"Next, I have to figure out how to tell Yi'er about this..."
Although he didn't agree immediately, he didn't completely refuse either.
Madam Yun felt that there was some hope for this matter, so she just nodded and said, "Then I will wait for the old lady's letter. Please also ask the old lady to speed up your efforts."
If this continues and something really happens, I'm afraid both of them will become criminals.
"I understand, don't worry." Mrs. Zhou responded.
Madam Yun stood up when she saw this. "With what the old lady said, I can put my heart back in my stomach. It's getting late, and it's time for dinner. I won't bother you any more."
"I should have kept you here for dinner, but knowing that you must be thinking about Yongnian, I won't say anything more."
Old Madam Zhou stood up and saw Madam Yun out of the yard.
After thinking for a while, Madam Zhou finally came to her senses and told the maid beside her, "Go call Yi'er over to have dinner together. His mother has had a poor appetite these days, and I'm afraid it will affect him. Call him over so that he can at least have a good meal."
"The weather is dry in spring, so I made fried celery and lily bulbs and lotus seed porridge tonight and sent them all to Yi'er's mother so that she could eat more."
"Yes, I will ask someone to bring food to Madam right away." The maid replied, but then smiled and said, "But I'm afraid Master Yi won't come to eat."
"Why?" Old Madam Zhou was surprised.
"Young Master Yi came just now, and seemed to have come at the lady's request. When he saw the old lady and Madam Yun talking inside, he did not disturb them and just walked around in the yard for a while. Later, he said that he remembered that he had not finished his homework for the day, so he went back to do his homework first. He also asked for dinner to be sent to the study." The maid answered truthfully.
Was Zhou Ruoyi in the yard just now?
Then he must have heard what she said to Madam Yun.
Will he accept it? Or will he be angry about it? What should I do...
Old Madam Zhou felt uneasy. ——Su Yujin and He Yanxiu were on the street at this time.
As night falls and the lights come on, all kinds of delicious food from the restaurants and even the stalls lining the street give off a faint aroma.
Freshly wrapped vegetarian spring rolls with shredded potatoes and mung bean sprouts, fragrant cold noodles with shredded chicken, spicy and fragrant wontons with red oil, hot and freshly baked hanging oven sesame cakes with braised meat...
The two people were already hungry, and now they were attracted by the aroma, feeling even hungrier and salivating.
I ordered some food from several stalls that were right next to each other, and then took them all to the stall selling red oil wontons to eat slowly.
"You've put a lot of effort into this today." He Yanxiu stuffed the crispy and delicious fried dough into his mouth.
Su Yujin understood what he was talking about and smiled, "You know this again?"
"Of course." He Yanxiu raised his chin and smiled when he looked at Su Yujin. "As the saying goes, heart disease needs heart medicine, but since there is no such medicine, we can only use other medicines to suppress it."
"Let Madam Zhou be busy with other things, so she won't have time to think about her troubles. Although this may not necessarily cure Madam Zhou's illness, it can at least alleviate some of her symptoms."
"I didn't think that much." Su Yujin also raised her chin and narrowed her eyes. "It's just that I felt that there had been no new business since the Chinese New Year, so I wanted to find a way to make more money."
Seeing that Su Yujin didn't admit it, He Yanxiu joked, "Are you still short of money?"
"We are not short of money, but no one thinks too much money is a good thing. The more the better." Su Yujin ate spring rolls while tilting her head. "Speaking of which, when I go to the capital in a few days, I have to think about what kind of business I should start in the capital."
After all, I still like money.
The corners of He Yanxiu's mouth slightly raised, but then drooped down, and even his brows were furrowed together.
