Chapter 74 Li Caiyun vs Cui Shufen
Thinking of this, Li Caiyun withdrew her hand without leaving a trace, picked up the horseshoe needle and threaded the thread to prepare for the shoe sole.
After listening to what Cui Shufen said, Zhang Guifang was very unhappy. She wanted to say something but stopped herself, and finally kept the words to herself. After all, it was a matter between them as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and it would not be good for her to interfere.
After Cui Shufen finished speaking, seeing that Li Caiyun was indifferent, her eyes turned red and she began to wipe away tears.
Li Caiyun put down the horseshoe needle in her hand, she looked at Cui Shufen and said: "Aunt, you know what kind of person I am. All these years, whenever you opened your mouth, I never let you down. But you also have to understand me. I am Zhou Yong's wife. I know that you have a conflict that cannot be resolved, but I still speak for you. Have you ever thought about what Zhou Yong will think of me?"
"Caiyun, there is no overnight hatred between husband and wife. Zhou Yong is just being stubborn. When he gets older, he will understand his aunt's suffering..."
Husband and wife don’t hold grudges overnight?
Li Caiyun sneered at what her old lady said.
Li Caiyun knew how much of a grudge Zhou Yong held. Just because she spoke well of Cui Shufen on their wedding night, they were married in name only for three years.
Zhou Yong told her all these things a few days ago. Li Caiyun felt wronged and it was not worth it after hearing them.
Zhou Yong also talked to her about the things she had done in the past few days, saying good things about the Zhou family.
It was only after Zhou Yong talked to her that Li Caiyun realized how wrong she was.
She lives with Zhou Yong, why does she always want to bring them together?
Does the discord between Zhou Yong and the Zhou family affect their lives? It had no impact. On the contrary, the more she did, the more Zhou Yong hated her.
Zhou Yong also told her that being compassionate is a good thing, but it depends on the person and the situation.
Not everyone deserves sympathy, and not everyone deserves to be treated with sincerity.
Li Caiyun grew a lot that night. When she was alone and in a daze, she always thought about what Zhou Yong said.
Zhou Yong also said that she was too philanthropic and always considered others, but in the end who ever considered her?
Including Cui Shufen, they all knew that letting Li Caiyun interfere in Zhou's affairs would make him disgusted, but she secretly approached her eldest daughter-in-law again and again.
It was Zhou Yong who reminded Li Caiyun of this matter. If he hadn't said it, Li Caiyun would probably make extremely stupid mistakes from time to time.
What about family members not bullying outsiders? To Zhou Yong, this is bullshit.
Why is the Li family united?
That is a bond of interest. In other words, if Li Baotian was not the village chief, would the Li family revolve around Li Baotian?
Of course not. Zhou Yong sees through human nature. There are no eternal enemies. As long as the benefits are great, everyone can become friends based on benefits.
Li Caiyun raised her hand to support her temples and glanced at Cui Shufen who was wiping her tears.
"Aunt, you seem to have forgotten something."
Cui Shufen's eyes were red, and she looked at Li Caiyun in confusion: "What's the matter?"
"Aunt, have you forgotten that Zhou Yong is my son-in-law, Li Caiyun? From the moment he stepped into our house, he had no relationship with your Zhou family, so you have no right to make demands on me..."
Li Caiyun's words made Zhang Guifang's face change, and Cui Shufen stood there in shock.
She was right. Zhou Yong was a son-in-law. It was agreed during the marriage talks that he would marry into the Li family and would have no connection with the Zhou family in the future.
Including the issue of Cui Shufen and her husband's retirement, these are not within the scope of Zhou Yong's obligations.
Zhou Yong has nothing to do with the Zhou family. Why does Cui Shufen have the right to demand this or that from her, the daughter-in-law?
Helping is a favor, not helping is your duty. Over the years, Li Caiyun has helped the Zhou family a lot.
"Caiyun, what's wrong with you? Was what your aunt said wrong?"
Li Caiyun bit her lip and said, "Aunt, there are some things I didn't want to say, but now that we have come to this point, I will just say it.
When my family was looking for a live-in son-in-law, it was you who came to my house and took the initiative to propose marriage. What did you say at that time?
It is said that Zhou Yong is willing to be the son-in-law of my Li family, but what is the truth?
Zhou Yong didn't want to do it at all. It was only because you threatened to die that he agreed to marry into my Li family.
After you got the betrothal money, you actually arranged a marriage for the two brothers Zhou Gang and Zhou Qiang without telling Zhou Yong. Do you think what you did was right?
Although Zhou Yong didn’t grow up in front of you, he is your biological son after all. How can you treat him like this…”
Not many people knew that Cui Shufen threatened Zhou Yong with suicide, and Li Caiyun also learned the inside story from Zhou Yong a few days ago.
Li Caiyun was so shocked that she couldn't recover for a long time. She only knew that Zhou Yong married her out of spite and had no idea that so many things had happened.
Cui Shufen started crying: "I did that out of helplessness. I thought that if Zhou Yong married into your family, it would not only reduce the burden on the family, but also allow him to have his own family. If I hadn't done that, I'm afraid that the three brothers would all be single now..."
Even though he was single, Zhou Yong was unwilling to become a live-in son-in-law.
Li Caiyun sighed: "Aunt, you have your difficulties, and Zhou Yong has his own sufferings, so I will not get involved in the grievances between the Zhou family and Zhou Yong in the future..."
Some things need to be said, otherwise she won't have a peaceful life.
Cui Shufen looked desperate: "Caiyun, Auntie begs you, please help Zhou Gang and Zhou Yong!!"
help?
How can she help?
Zhou Yong has made it so clear to her. If Li Caiyun continues to be stubborn, their marriage will probably end in tragedy again.
Li Caiyun said, "Every family in my aunt's family is having a hard time, not just yours. I have sympathized with you and pitied you over the years. I have helped you openly and secretly. It's great that I can do this, so don't make any more demands on me."
Cui Shufen opened her mouth, but no one knew what she wanted to say. Zhang Guifang sighed and took over the conversation.
"Mother-in-law, Caiyun is the child you watched grow up. You know her temperament very well. Now that she has said this, it means she really can't help you..."
Cui Shufen wiped her tears and nodded, while Li Caiyun looked out the window.
Zhang Guifang chatted with her for a while, and Cui Shufen went back after a while.
After seeing Cui Shufen off, Zhang Guifang entered the room and asked, "Who told you these things?"
Li Caiyun pursed her lips: "Zhou Yong!!"
Zhang Guifang sat down on the edge of the kang and said, "Even so, you shouldn't talk about these things in front of Cui Shufen? No matter what, she is Zhou Yong's biological mother. If the mother and daughter reconcile, what will you do in the middle?
"Mom, if I don't say this, do you think she will let it go?"
Zhang Guifang looked at her daughter and said, "Girl, you don't know how to take your words seriously."
Li Caiyun said nothing more and picked up the horseshoe needle to sew the soles of shoes.
Zhang Guifang stayed in the house for a while, and at around ten o'clock she began to prepare lunch reluctantly.
It was almost twelve o'clock when Zhou Yong and Li Baotian returned home. For lunch, Zhang Guifang made eggplant sauce and prepared a portion of pickled vegetables. The staple food was two kinds of rice.
After lunch, Li Caiyun cleaned up, washed her hands and went back to the west room. When she entered the room, Zhou Yong was lying on the kang reading a book!
Li Caiyun looked at him, sat down on the edge of the kang and took off her shoes: "My aunt came this morning, and I said some unpleasant things."
