Chapter 378 The Lu Family's In-Laws
Da Hu also thought it was a great idea, and soon took his sister aside to discuss it in private.
Lu Erbai shook his head before asking Shu Yu, "Is your fourth uncle really alright?"
He didn't want to ask too many questions in front of his fourth sister, afraid of making her overthink. Now that they were all gone, Lu Erbai finally spoke up with some concern.
He was also afraid that his fourth sister and brother-in-law, who had finally reunited, might encounter some unexpected mishap.
Shu Yu shook her head. "It's nothing, just overwork. Plus, when we went to the county government to pick up my fourth aunt, the Yuan family members had just been released and immediately attacked my fourth aunt's husband. Those blows were quite heavy, and my fourth aunt's husband couldn't hold on for a moment, which is why he collapsed."
Lu Erbai: "That's good."
Madam Ruan sighed, "How could the Yuan family be so heartless? My fourth brother-in-law was missing for so many days, and he finally came back. They should at least ask him how much suffering he endured outside. Especially since he looks so thin."
That's what she said, but when Ruan thought of her family, she didn't find it strange at all.
The old lady snorted coldly, "The old man and woman of the Yuan family are getting more and more senile as they get older. They weren't like this before. Now their favoritism is so extreme."
The old lady felt very aggrieved when she talked about this.
Why are all her in-laws so complicated?
She was in charge of vetting the marriages of her children.
When her eldest son was getting married, she thought that as the eldest son, his wife should be generous, hardworking, and easy to get along with. So when she asked the matchmaker to find a wife, she looked for someone with those qualities.
To be honest, the eldest daughter's family is actually quite good. The old man and woman of the Li family are both reasonable people, and there's nothing wrong with their interpersonal relationships. They know that her family is in trouble, and they will occasionally help them out. They are even closer to them than Li Shi.
Back then, she thought, with parents like these, their children can't be too bad, right?
At that time, Li had a really good reputation outside, and everyone said she was kind and understanding.
She's always been like this; she appears amiable on the surface, but inside she's petty and calculating, only capable of doing dirty tricks in secret.
The old lady only found out about these things after they got married.
So when it came time to find a wife for her second son, she changed her approach. She thought that no matter how good the in-laws were, if the daughter-in-law was difficult to get along with, then only her son would suffer.
So she arranged for her second son to marry a woman surnamed Ruan. Well, that old woman from the Ruan family was truly a vicious woman among vicious women, even treating her own daughter with such cruelty.
The old lady was conflicted when her third son got married.
The third son, in particular, is unreliable and difficult to marry, so daughters from decent families are generally unwilling to marry him.
Just as the old lady was pondering this, the third son took a liking to Liang.
He asked the old lady to propose marriage to the Liang family, but the old lady felt extremely ashamed.
She thought the Liang family looked down on the third son, but to her surprise, the Liang family agreed.
The two elders of the Liang family... simply couldn't control Liang Shi. Even if she agreed, the two elders couldn't do anything about it.
The Liang family are all honest and law-abiding people; otherwise, Liang Shi wouldn't have been able to go home so often to ask her family to take care of her children and raise Da Bao to be so chubby and healthy.
When Lu Sixing got married, the old lady was really worried. By then, her husband had passed away, and her second son's daughter, Er Ya, had also been lost, so life wasn't very good for her.
Therefore, the old lady was quite happy when the Yuan family came to propose marriage.
She was most satisfied with Yuan Shanchuan, and as it turned out, she was right; Yuan Shanchuan was indeed good to Si Xing.
