Chapter 129 Don’t Think Too Badly of Others
Soldiers in the 1980s were not like those in later generations. Being a soldier in that era was a great honor.
Being a soldier is glorious, and being a soldier’s wife is even more glorious!
Zheng Aifang looked at her daughter and hesitantly added, "You liked that Qin Chao back then, but he wasn't a good man, so I strongly opposed it. Mom didn't really want you to marry a soldier, but Chen Yuan is so much better than Qin Chao. You're my only daughter, and I can't just watch you jump into the fire pit."
Thinking of Qin Chao, Su Wan couldn't help but shudder.
She coughed dryly, "Mom, that's all in the past. I didn't like him before, I was just young and ignorant."
That was the person the original owner liked, but Su Wan didn't like such an incompetent person now. After thinking for a moment, she added, "And I didn't really like him back then. He said he would teach me, but who knew that even after I gave him so much, he didn't teach me properly, and I didn't even get into university."
What Su Wan said was not entirely false.
In the original owner's memory, Qin Chao once promised her that he would help her with her studies, and the two of them took the college entrance examination together. Who would have thought that the other party turned out to be a scumbag, two-timing, and later fell in love with a girl from the provincial capital.
If it weren't for this, the original owner wouldn't have gone to Chen Yuan out of spite.
She somewhat wanted to let Qin Chao know that even without him, she could still find someone better than him.
Hearing this, Zheng Aifang felt sad.
"It's all my parents' fault. When you were still in school, you told them you wanted to go to cram school. They thought you still wanted to be with Qin Chao, so they didn't give you the money."
Of course, another part of the reason was that the family really had no money at the time. There were four children in the family, and all the money the couple earned was used to pay for their studies. Even if they tried harder, they could not afford the expensive tutoring fees.
"It's okay, Mom. Look, I'm doing pretty well now. I've graduated from high school, and I can go to adult continuing education if I have the chance. It won't be too bad."
Zheng Aifang nodded, took Su Wan's hand and asked, "I know you're busy with business all day and don't have time to take care of yourself, but no matter what, a couple should still be together. No matter how good the relationship is, it will fade over time."
She was also afraid that there would be problems in the relationship between Su Wan and Chen Yuan, so she spoke with such earnest advice.
Su Wan nodded. "Mom, I understand. Chen Yuan is now in the Army Academy. If I hadn't met a kind person last time, I wouldn't have been able to go to the academy to see him. After he graduates this time, we will also consider what to do next."
It doesn't matter where Chen Yuan follows the army. She has already trained all her brothers. She just needs to take charge of the overall situation. As for other things, there is no rush for the time being.
Seeing that her daughter had her own ideas, Zheng Aifang nodded.
"It's good that you know. Mom doesn't expect you to make our family rich and luxurious. I just hope that you can live a happy life. That's more important than anything else."
As parents, do you care more about whether your children live a good life?
"We have a good relationship, don't worry."
"Have your brothers ever thought about getting married? Or have they ever revealed to you that they have a partner?"
After asking about her daughter, Zheng Aifang started asking about her sons.
Su Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Mom, my brothers just arrived in Pengcheng. They don't have time for love. If they really like a girl, they will definitely bring her home to show you."
"Mom and Dad have lived a lifetime and don't have any big requests. We just hope that you brothers and sisters can be well."
"We'll definitely be fine. It's not too late to find a partner after Big Brother and his family settle down. Isn't it recommended to marry and have children later now? And you said before that there's no rush."
"I'm not in a hurry. I'm just worried that if they find a girl they like and bring her home, they might think our family isn't well off, which would affect their marriage plans."
As parents, we can’t really say that we don’t care at all. After all, marriage is a big deal, and how could Zheng Aifang not want to give her son a better life?
If her sons have someone they like, she will repair the house as soon as possible so that when they bring their partner home, they don't have to worry about being rejected by the other person.
Looking at her mother's worried look, Su Wan could understand the worries of parents.
She held her mother's hand tighter. "Even if my brothers want to bring a girlfriend home in the future, the girl they bring should be a good girl. If they bring someone bad, wouldn't it cause unrest in the family?"
"If your brother likes her, would you still try to break her up?"
Zheng Aifang didn't think too much about it. She said, "Marriage is a lifelong event. As long as your brother likes it, that's fine. At worst, we can separate. Your father and I are still young and can be self-sufficient. We won't be a burden to them."
"But if the girl my brothers brought was someone like that, I wouldn't be able to accept it."
"If you don't accept it, can you still prevent your brother from getting married?"
Zheng Aifang patted Su Wan's hand and said earnestly, "When Mom was your age, she thought the same way. Everything was black and white. But now that I'm older, I think more. We can't be with them forever. We still need him to get married, and they have to bear the consequences themselves."
After living for decades, Zheng Aifang really takes things lightly.
Whether it is the happiness of a daughter or a son, I feel that parents should not interfere too much.
Su Wan was also stunned for a moment.
After a while, she spoke softly, "I don't have any other bad intentions. I just feel that if my future sister-in-law is too picky, there will definitely be problems in our family."
"After marriage, there will be many things that are beyond your control. As long as you can handle the big things, don't expect too much in the small things. You can still live a stable life."
She will have three daughters-in-law in the future. If she has to be picky about everything, she will probably have a very tiring life.
"Mom, I understand."
Su Wan thought about it and agreed.
When she was reborn, she had also had this concern and even thought about divorce if Chen Yuan was that kind of person.
But now thinking about it, Chen Yuan at that time must have been very unbelievable.
Husband and wife are one body. She did not believe Chen Yuan at that time, and he did not do anything wrong at that time, but they became unhappy because of what she imagined.
Come to think of it, she seemed to have turned herself into that kind of person.
Even though her future sister-in-law hadn't appeared yet, she had already started to portray her in a bad light in her mind.
Zheng Aifang looked at her daughter, ruffled her hair and said, "Wanwan, Mom knows what you're thinking. Sometimes your thoughts are not wrong, but we shouldn't think too badly of people. Most people are still simple and honest."
