Chapter 370 She knew nothing
Her daughter was so well-behaved; she had never caused her any worry from childhood to adulthood. After all, she was her eldest daughter, and she loved her the most. Even though she had several younger daughters later, her eldest daughter's place in her heart was unmatched by anyone else.
This obedient daughter ended up causing this mess for her.
If I had known she would get married if she went back, I shouldn't have agreed to let her go back in the first place.
Zhang Weihong was filled with regret.
Wang Jianhua simply responded with an "oh".
Zhang Weihong repeated, "Your daughter got married without telling us, did you hear that? Why are you so cold-hearted?"
Wang Jianhua said, "Yes, I heard about it. She told me about it when she went back. I know she's getting married, and I agree to it."
In fact, Wang Jianhua had always agreed to the marriage. He knew the young man, and although the young man's family had fled from war, they were a good family, and the young man was a reliable person. Wang Jianhua thought it would be good for his daughter to marry him.
Even if the other party's home is far away, it doesn't matter. After all, the daughter is just married, not dead. It's not like she's never coming back. Why make such high demands?
"What did you say? You know about this?" Zhang Weihong felt like her world was collapsing.
"I know."
Zhang Weihong was furious: "Since you knew, why didn't you tell me anything? I was kept in the dark the whole time and knew nothing at all."
Wang Jianhua said, "Our daughter came back this time wanting to discuss this matter with everyone, but you kept disagreeing and even argued with her. How could she dare to tell you about it? So she only discussed it with me."
Zhang Weihong sat up on the bed immediately, her face clearly showing the shock she had suffered: "Where is she now? Is she still in her hometown? I need to go back and discuss this with her."
Wang Jianhua said, "They're already married, so what's there to discuss? She's not in her hometown anymore; she's gone back with her husband. They're planning to hold the wedding banquet at his home."
"Should we go?"
“I told her we wouldn’t go, since it’s too far and would take a lot of time to go back and forth, so it’s really unnecessary,” Wang Jianhua said.
Zhang Weihong felt a headache.
She learned too much today and felt she couldn't handle it, and the news that her daughter was married was also hard for her to accept.
Why did they get married like this?
Marriage is supposed to be a very serious matter, so why does it seem so childish when it comes to her daughter?
She asked, "No, there are still many things that haven't been settled. How was the bride price calculated? And we need to give our daughter a dowry."
Wang Jianhua calmly said, "These things have all been taken care of. The groom's family gave a bride price of 150 yuan, and I gave them back 150 yuan as dowry. I gave all the money to my daughter so she can take it with her. We were going to buy furniture, but they are going to such a far place by car, and it would be inconvenient to carry it, so we don't need to take it."
He talked at length about how they had taken care of their daughter's wedding during this period. The wedding was simple and straightforward, yet flawless.
But Zhang Weihong knew none of the details.
However, Zhang Weihong found out the reason: Wang Jianhua had been talking to his daughter these past few days, and she hadn't participated in their conversations because she was angry. It seemed that they were discussing marriage at that time.
After that, Zhang Weihong became quite dejected and seemed listless.
When Shen Zhixia saw this, she said, "Look at all these people who marry close by, and they're all unhappy in their marriages and even divorced. Maybe your daughter will be very happy if she marries someone she loves."
Zhang Weihong said, "But I'm worried about her. She didn't tell me about this wedding, and I wasn't involved in the whole process. I just feel uneasy."
She had always assumed that she would plan the wedding banquet and personally send her eldest daughter off when she got married. But what happened? She was the last to know about her eldest daughter's wedding, which was ironic and truly upsetting.
Shen Zhixia comforted her, "Once transportation becomes more developed, it will be very convenient for you to visit her. Don't worry too much."
Zhang Weihong sighed, "Really? Will traffic get better in the future?"
Nowadays, transportation is very backward, and it's not easy to go anywhere. Even if she wanted to visit her daughter, she might not have a car. So, if her daughter were to marry far away, it would be a disaster for her.
The two might not see each other again for many years.
Shen Zhixia nodded and said, "Of course, you have to believe in the country, things will only get better and better."
Zhang Weihong seemed to have come to terms with it: "Never mind, she's grown up now, it's all her own decision. I've fulfilled my duty by raising her. How she chooses to live her life is up to her."
Although she complained a bit, she was a strong woman after all, and she quickly made up with the matter.
Shen Zhixia finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, as she watched her eldest daughter playing in the mud, she fell into deep thought. If her daughter were to marry far away when she grew up, would she agree to it?
Shen Zhixia thought about it carefully, and then realized that she could not come to this conclusion.
Many things only become clear after they happen, and it's pointless to try to predict them in advance.
Her two children are still very young, and she doesn't know what the future holds.
Previously, Shen Zhixia had never thought she would have children, but after giving birth, she realized that raising children is a very difficult process, but also a very interesting one. She was able to see them grow step by step, and even if they did not develop in the way she wanted, it didn't matter.
After all, they are living beings, and the growth of any living being is meaningful.
After Shen Zhixia returned, she went to see Huo Chunyan.
When Huo Chunyan returned from grocery shopping, a little boy was following her. The boy was carrying a bag and walking with difficulty. Huo Chunyan asked her to give him the bag, but the little boy insisted on carrying it himself.
Seeing this, Shen Zhixia couldn't help but say, "He's so well-behaved."
Huo Chunyan said, "I was planning to take him to register his household these past two days. I had already discussed it with Baojun, but his uncle and aunt came. I don't know if this will be possible."
Shen Zhixia asked in shock, "Didn't her uncle and aunt stop caring about him? Why are they here again now?"
The child's relatives didn't care about him at first, so he had no choice but to be adopted by Huo Chunyan. Now, they've come knocking on our door.
Could they be here to cause trouble?
Shen Zhixia said, "If they don't agree to you adopting the child, then let them raise the child themselves."
Upon hearing this, the little boy gripped Huo Chunyan's hand tightly, terrified that she would send him away.
Huo Chunyan patted her hand and reassured her, "Don't worry, I won't send you away."
Over time, she developed feelings for the little boy.
Besides, she has said that she wants to adopt a little boy, so that means she has already made up her mind, and no one else can influence her decision.
Even if these two people are there to cause trouble, she will still drive them away.
She absolutely would not allow anyone to hurt the child.
Shen Zhixia said, "I'll go with you."
She also wanted to see what the other party was up to.
