Fu Hong spoke for a long time. Her initial excitement gradually subsided, but her eyes remained red.
"If you had the chance to do it all over again, would you still choose to marry Dong Cheng?" Xing Zhaozhao asked Fu Hong earnestly.
Fu Hong frowned in embarrassment, not quite sure how to answer.
"I won't marry him." Dong Fanghua's resentful voice suddenly rang out.
Xing Zhaozhao and Fu Hong turned around and realized that Dong Fanghua and He Shasha had returned sometime earlier.
Fu Hong seemed somewhat disapproving: "Youth..."
"Why would you marry into that family? You'd just be harassed by that family of bloodsuckers again? Even if he shields you, the harassment is real. If you had a brain, you'd know you shouldn't marry into a family like that," Dong Fanghua said glaring at Fu Hong, annoyed.
"If I don't marry you, you won't be here anymore," Fu Hong said with a hint of helplessness.
Dong Fanghua said with a heavy heart, "I'd rather be gone than have you go through that miserable life again."
Fu Hong looked at Dong Fanghua, tears welling up in her eyes again: "Silly child, how do you know that marrying someone else will guarantee you won't have a miserable life? Maybe you'll have a miserable life with someone else?"
“For someone like me, I can just find someone who has no relatives, right?” Dong Fanghua said dismissively.
Fu Hong looked at Dong Fanghua in surprise, then belatedly realized: "So, back then, all those potential partners introduced to you by the older teachers at your school, you didn't like any of them, and ended up with someone who didn't even have parents?"
Xing Zhaozhao looked at Dong Fanghua, and couldn't help but show a look of astonishment on her face.
"It saved a lot of trouble, didn't it?" Dong Fanghua said matter-of-factly.
Fu Hong shook her head speechlessly and said, "That's because Arui is capable and earns a lot of money, so he can find a good nanny to help him. Otherwise, without his parents' help, Sasha alone would be too much for you to handle."
Dong Fanghua disagreed: "That's not necessarily true. My former colleagues in the same office complained to me a lot about their mothers-in-law after they had their babies. They all envied me because I didn't have a mother-in-law and didn't have so many troubles."
Fu Hong: "..."
Unable to argue further, Fu Hong stopped speaking: "You're full of fallacies."
After saying that, Fu Hong turned to look at her granddaughter who was looking at her mother with admiration: "Shasha, don't listen to your mother's nonsense. Your mother was just lucky to find your father. Otherwise, there would be just as many trivial problems as if she had a mother-in-law. The most important thing is the person. Everything else is secondary. It's best if the secondary things are fine. If there are problems, we can solve them. If we can't solve them, we can find someone else. We won't make ourselves suffer."
He Shasha looked at Fu Hong seriously and asked, "So, if Grandma could do it all over again, would she still choose to marry Grandpa?"
Fu Hong thought about it seriously for a moment, then nodded very firmly: "I will marry you."
Seeing that Fu Hong was still stubborn despite all that she had said, Dong Fanghua was furious: "Fine, I'm not going to bother with you anymore. Why do you choose to suffer when you have a good life to live?"
Fu Hong looked at Dong Fanghua and said earnestly, "You don't understand, Fanghua. Although your father was a bit blindly filial, he was indeed a good person. Good people shouldn't suffer so much and die so young."
Fu Hong turned to look at Xing Zhaozhao, her gaze intense: "If I had another chance, I would still marry him. However, I would not stand by and watch him fall into that pit again. I would pull him away from that home, make him live a better life, and live a longer life so that he can watch Fanghua grow up, achieve academic success, and personally send her off to her wedding."
Dong Fanghua's eyes were red, she sniffed, and stubbornly said, "Don't drag me into this. If you marry him again, I won't be reincarnated into your family."
Fu Hong chuckled: "That's probably not up to you."
Dong Fanghua was sullen and stopped talking.
Fu Hong looked at Xing Zhaozhao again and said softly, "Tell Xiaolan that I'm doing well, so she doesn't need to worry."
Xing Zhaozhao smiled and nodded: "Okay, I will tell her."
When Xing Zhaozhao returned, Fu Lan was holding Xiao Hongling, anxiously waiting in the cellar. Upon seeing Xing Zhaozhao, she immediately went to greet her: "You're back, Sister Xing."
Xing Zhaozhao responded with an "Mmm," put down what she was holding, stepped forward to take the little red jade pendant that was reaching out for her, smiled at Fu Lan, and asked, "Were you getting impatient?"
Fu Lan was a little embarrassed and said, "It's...it's alright."
Holding Xiao Hongling, Xing Zhaozhao walked towards the cellar exit, asking, "Have Hongfei and Hongyu gone out again?"
"Yes." Fu Lan nodded, following closely behind, and asked impatiently, "Have you seen my sister, Sister Xing?"
“I saw him,” Xing Zhaozhao said.
"You asked?"
"I asked."
What did she say?
Xing Zhaozhao paused, turned to look at Fu Lan, and said, "She said she will still get married."
Fu Lan was stunned, and it took her a while to come to her senses. Seeing Xing Zhaozhao walk away, she quickly chased after her and asked in confusion, "Why? Doesn't she care at all about the Dong family's behavior? Or are the Dong family over there different from the Dong family over here?"
“How could that be? We’re all family.” Xing Zhaozhao said, and then told Fu Lan about Fu Hong’s life experiences.
Fu Lan listened with a confused expression: "So, my sister's deep feelings for Dong Cheng are also because of me? If I hadn't disappeared, Dong Cheng wouldn't have had the chance to take advantage of the situation, right?"
Xing Zhaozhao thought for a moment and said, "That's part of the reason. However, in this life, you didn't disappear, and your sister still ended up with Dong Cheng. That shows that she wasn't completely unfriendly towards Dong Cheng. After all, this is her marriage, so we have to see what she thinks. We should tell her about the possible consequences, ask her what she plans to do, and then make a decision."
Fu Lan nodded seriously and said, "Okay, then I'll go back tomorrow and ask my sister again."
