Fu Qingru just wanted to say that children are just children and they know too little about human nature.
For Shen Wen Zhong, no matter what the truth was, it happened decades ago and there was no point in bringing it up again now.
First, there is no definite evidence; second, even if there is evidence, it is difficult to determine whether she has violated a certain law.
The old lady's ability to exaggerate and confuse right and wrong was already perfected on Fu Qingru. All she had to do was go out and complain a few times, saying that the Shen family saw that she was old and useless, and then find excuses to be mean to her. This would be extremely bad for the reputation of Shen Wen Zhong and the Shen family.
Others will say that you want to throw the old lady aside after taking advantage of her, and you will be criticized.
Putting the Shen family in the spotlight for a matter for which no one can be held responsible has only resulted in losses and no gains.
Shen Wen Zhong is a businessman and will never do anything that will only result in losses without any gains.
This matter will certainly be investigated, and the only way to deal with it after the facts are revealed will be to distance oneself from the old lady, or to vent one's anger by torturing her over trivial matters without making any fuss.
After being married for decades, Shen Wen Zhong never knew that Fu Qing understood him so well. He was so moved that he looked at his wife with particularly affectionate eyes, as if he had thousands of love words to say.
Even though she was already in her forties, Fu Qingru still blushed like a young girl and even glared at her husband coquettishly.
[Why are they showing off their affection? Didn’t they say that they were not in harmony? 】
Fu Qingru: Whether we get along or not is another matter. I simply wanted to piss off the old lady.
[Tongzi, you are giving me fake news again. Does it look bad that my grandparents are almost melting each other's feelings?]
System: [I feel wronged, but I don’t know where to start. 】
[Tsk! This dog food is so delicious that it makes my teeth ache.]
[That’s enough. I’m a human being. I eat milk, not dog food. Stop it now! ]
System: [Stop howling. Look at Zou Xiaoman's expression. Doesn't it look like a wife watching a mistress hooking up with her husband? If looks could kill, your grandmother would be nothing but a pile of ashes right now.]
[If you can't talk, just say less. My grandmother is the principal wife, okay? She is just an evil supporting actress who can't get in. ]
【But I finally know who my beautiful mother takes after. 】
Fu Qingru: …
Shen Wenzhong: ...
What are you implying? Feel free to speak up.
[My grandfather treated the enemy who killed his father as his own mother, and was coveted by this so-called "real mother" in a perverted way.]
[My grandmother was targeted by the old lady as a love rival. In the past few decades, she has been giving her troubles every day. But my grandmother was able to respect her generously.]
[With such a good pair of genes, it is hard not to give birth to someone like my beautiful mother who tried to repay evil with kindness several times. ]
[Fortunately, my beautiful mother has come to her senses and turned back. I don’t know when my grandparents will realize their own problems like my beautiful mother.]
[Can't this family have a normal person? I'm worried about this little baby. No, I'm going to drink an extra bottle of milk to reward myself later.]
Shen Wen Zhong and Fu Qingru looked at each other. They had lived to such an old age but were actually being taught a lesson by a child.
It is said that parents are their children's teachers and role models. The way they are only calculating gains and losses is really ugly and ridiculous.
If all the children in the Shen family were like them, calculating this and that, how tiring it would be!
There is no better comfort than being at peace with yourself and having no regrets.
While the two were reflecting on themselves, the various people in the group had already collected evidence of Zou Xiaoman's collusion with Shen's relatives and various companies.
The two received the message at the same time and looked at each other after seeing it.
[Enough, really enough, can someone come and take care of my grandparents? I am almost sick of eating so much dog food.]
[When I was young, I would spit out a few mouthfuls of milk at most. But it’s different for old Zou Xiaoman. Seeing her digging her flesh with her nails and her eyes blazing with fire, I’m really afraid that she won’t be able to bear the stimulation and pass out.]
[It's not that I miss her so much, but now that she's gone, the truth will be buried in the cemetery along with her ashes.]
[I really want to know if my great-grandfather would lie on the ground and suddenly get up and lift up the coffin lid and ask, "Are these two children sick?"]
The couple looked at each other again.
Zou Xiaoman couldn't hold back the blood anymore and said, "Wen Zhong and Bo Yue have come all the way back, they must be hungry, Qingru, go to the kitchen and see how the food is prepared.
By the way, stir-fry some yam, Wen Zhong loves it! "
[Go to the kitchen to check the dishes, and then add a dish that your husband likes. There is nothing wrong with just listening to this, right? ]
[But the old lady knew that my grandmother was allergic to yam and would itch and develop a rash when she touched it.]
System: [The old lady is at a very high level! ]
[Of course, if my grandmother said anything to refuse at this time, she would be accused of talking back to her elders and not being considerate of her husband.]
[My grandmother always suffered because of these little things. She made a scene once or twice because the old lady kept saying bad things about her in front of my grandfather. My grandfather thought my grandmother was being unreasonable. Not only did he not listen to what my grandmother said, he also treated her with cold violence.]
[My grandfather was thinking, you were so mean to the old lady and I didn't even bother to settle the score with you, but you started a fuss first. Do you have the right?
I even feel that choosing to use cold violence instead of settling the score with her is a sign of loving her and indulging her. 】
[Even if my grandfather sometimes felt that my grandmother had indeed suffered some injustice, as a grown man he would only think that it was a trivial matter and that if he could just be patient, the family would be harmonious and everything would be fine.
But they don’t realize that the matter is small, but the grievance caused by it is not small at all. It’s like someone pricks you with a small thorn and then runs away. Although there is no wound left, the pain is no less. 】
[If you tell others about this invisible "wound", they will think you are being hypocritical. If you don't tell others about it, you will feel wronged and will feel uncomfortable! ]
Fu Qingru almost cried: Right! Finally someone can empathize with me, this is how I have been through all these years! If you say you feel wronged, others will think you are being pretentious, and will say that the elders are old, so what's wrong with you giving way?
She could only brainwash herself into thinking too much and convince herself not to go around telling people about her grievances like Xianglin Sao.
Another person who almost cried was Shen Wen Zhong.
After Shen Yue's reminder, Shen Wen Zhong carefully recalled many details of these years. For example, Fu Qingru didn't eat coriander. The old lady thought coriander was delicious and she was picky if she didn't eat it, so she insisted on putting it in her bowl.
At that time, he thought that it was just a few pieces of coriander, so what would be the big deal if they were eaten, and there was no need to make everyone unhappy.
Now when I think of the painful expression on Fu Qingru's face when she put the coriander into her mouth and chewed it, my heart feels like it's being pricked by a needle.
Coriander is really nothing to people who eat it, but there is a kind of people who are born unable to eat coriander. To put it bluntly, it tastes as uncomfortable to them as eating shit.
For example, the old lady wanted to eat freshly cooked white rice porridge, and Fu Qingru prepared it and brought it to her. She said that her memory was not good as she got older, and that she wanted to eat millet porridge instead, apologizing while expressing her desire to eat it.
Fu Qingru could only go to the kitchen and cook it again, several times.
For example, she asked Fu Qingru to accompany her shopping early in the morning, but she slept until noon, making Fu Qingru wait at the door for several hours.
There were so many small things like this that Shen Wen Zhong could no longer remember the details.
In the past, he thought that the old lady just had a strong personality, but she was still a good person and was very good to their family.
Being strict with Fu Qingru is because we hope that Fu Qingru will get better and better, and Fu Qingru is not much better to the old lady, so we just take it as a means of offsetting it. Besides, the old lady is old and is an elder, so Fu Qingru should be patient.
Who would have thought that the old lady was actually a jackal in human skin.
Thinking of his neglect of her over the years, Shen Wen Zhong felt heartbroken.
How did she grit her teeth and get through all these years?
Shen Wen Zhong suddenly touched Fu Qingru's face with heartache and choked up for a moment.
Sensing his emotions, Fu Qingru grabbed her hand and rubbed it comfortingly, giving her a look that said 'it's okay'.
