"This is their family matter, and they don't need to tell me. I don't want to hear anything about their family right now," Han Minjia said.
"Besides, I'm not comparing myself to them. I'm just living my own life well."
That's what Han Minjia said, but what she really thought is another matter.
"That's good. We're relieved to see you like this. We were worried that you wouldn't understand and would keep getting stuck on that one point."
"Yes, now that you've figured it out, we'll be leaving. You should get some rest, and we'll come see you another day."
Seeing that Han Minjia looked unwell, the group thought that she had just been discharged from the hospital and was probably in a bad mood, so they decided not to bring it up again.
“My mother is not in good health, so I’ll see you off on her behalf,” Han Zhichao said to them.
As soon as they left, Han Minjia sat there with a bad expression. As for being able to think things through, that was definitely not the case.
"Mom, I'll go cook and tidy up the house in a bit. You can go back to your room and rest," Han Zhichao said to her.
"No need, I'm fine. Is what they said today true?"
"Yes, but Mom, don't be angry. When I bring Xiao Zhao back, you'll be able to hold your grandson."
Han Minjia got angry as soon as she heard Wang Zhao's name, but she didn't want to argue with her son right now, so she didn't say anything and went back to her room.
When Han's father returned home in the evening, he was pleased to see that Han Zhichao had just finished cooking.
"Zhichao, I've arranged for someone to take care of your mother tomorrow. You should go to work as usual and not be late."
"Okay, Dad. Mom's still inside. Xiaopeng, go call her for dinner."
"Okay, brother, I'll go right now," Han Peng said.
"Mom, dinner's ready. I've missed you so much since you were hospitalized for so long," Han Peng said.
"Oh, Xiaopeng, you've gotten so thin while I've been away from home," Han Minjia said, looking at Han Peng with concern.
"Let's go eat, don't let Xiaopeng go hungry."
The family was eating together, but no one spoke; everyone could tell they were in a bad mood.
After finishing her meal, just as Han Minjia was about to return to her room, she was stopped and asked to talk about what had happened recently.
"Honey, we're all here now. Let's talk about what's been going on lately. Our second son heard you were in the hospital and he'll be back soon to see you."
"What's there to say?" Han Minjia asked with a long face.
"It's about our Zhichao and Wang Zhao's matter. More than a month has passed. We should at least start thinking about what to do."
“When you were hospitalized this time, the Wang family came to see you, but they were worried you'd be upset, so Wang Zhao's father talked to me for a long time.”
“Daughter-in-law, I think you should relax. This is a matter between the two children, and we as parents shouldn’t get involved.”
"Besides, Wang Zhao is a good kid, and his family is well-off too. Weren't you very satisfied with him back then?" Han's father asked.
"You just don't understand. What good does this do for our second son? He's your son too, isn't he?"
Upon hearing that it concerned her second son, Han Minjia reacted and said, "What does this have to do with our second son? This is not Zhichao's business."
"Then you should also consider Zhiqiang. This matter has become known throughout the compound. Our Zhiqiang is already quite old, it's time for him to get married."
"You still haven't figured it out. Wang Zhao's family isn't poor either, yet you're treating him like dirt. What are you making everyone think?"
“People will think that way: this family is on par with ours, who would marry their daughter to our son? How could they possibly suffer such mistreatment?”
"If we had a daughter, would you agree to it?"
"Therefore, this matter must be resolved. If handled properly, the impact can be minimized."
“No matter what, Xiaojia should think about the children,” Mr. Han said.
Han Minjia was initially unwilling, but she had to consider her child's well-being.
"I understand. So what exactly do you want?"
"First of all, we need to have Zhichao bring Xiaozhao back. They have a good relationship, and we as parents should be happy."
"The second thing is about the two children separating from the family. Let them live their own lives and don't interfere."
"You've seen the Zhou family, Guo Jinyou is pregnant now and she's back, isn't she? They're doing quite well."
"Don't be too forceful. Nothing is ever truly in your control and will remain unchanged forever."
“I’ve found someone to take care of you. From now on, there will be a housekeeper to cook and clean the house. You won’t have to lift a finger,” Han Zhichao said.
"Xiaomin, what are you thinking?"
"Hmph, what opinions could I possibly have? Haven't you all already done your research? Why are you asking me now?"
"What opinions could I possibly have? I have no say in this family."
Seeing his daughter-in-law like this, Han's father felt helpless. He was usually too busy, so he felt guilty towards his family.
He doesn't have time to spend with his family, so he's definitely very tolerant of Han Minjia.
Over the years, she has always had a laissez-faire attitude towards everything, which has made her increasingly self-centered in her actions.
"Alright, it's settled then. Zhichao, tomorrow take your things back to Xiaozhao, and we'll have a family meal together. Then you can move out."
Han Zhichao was naturally pleased and said, "Okay, I'll go tomorrow."
Seeing her husband's attitude, Han Minjia knew he was angry and wanted to say something, but in the end she let it go.
They haven't argued over the years, and Han Minjia isn't stupid; she can't afford to add fuel to the fire.
Although I'm dissatisfied with Wang Zhao, this is all I can do for now; I'll talk about it later.
