After glancing at Han Yunqi and seeing that he looked normal and not unhappy, Tang's mother said, "Little Han, don't mind him. We've spoiled this child, and he doesn't know how to watch his words."
Han Yunqi quickly replied, "Auntie, you flatter me. Xiaoxiao is a good person. I like her genuine personality."
No parent dislikes hearing praise for their child. Upon hearing this, the elderly couple's expressions softened considerably. Next, Tang's mother inquired carefully about Han Yunqi's family situation. Han Yunqi answered honestly that the Han family's situation was not complicated. The couple had built their building materials store from scratch and had only one son, Han Yunqi. Han's father's branch had many brothers, each with their own development. His grandparents were still alive and the family was thriving. Overall, there was nothing that the elderly couple was dissatisfied with. The only thing they might not be too happy about was that D City was a bit far away.
Regarding this, Han Yunqi's answer was that his career was mainly in City A, and he would definitely develop there in the future. His parents' business was managed by themselves, and he didn't need to get involved. There was no need for Tang Xiaoxiao to marry far away.
When Han's parents get old and need someone to take care of them, he will bring them to live with him. However, that will be at least twenty years from now. Han's parents are only in their early forties and in very good health.
After hearing this explanation, Mr. and Mrs. Tang were completely relieved. Their daughter wouldn't be too far away from them, and they could take care of her if anything happened. Both young people were quite successful in their careers, and even if they brought their parents-in-law to live with them in the future, they could easily buy them a separate apartment and hire a nanny to take care of them. They didn't need to worry about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law issues under the same roof.
Having suffered at the hands of her mother-in-law herself, Tang's mother knew how difficult it would be for a married woman to have a bad relationship with her mother-in-law. Therefore, this was her first consideration when it came to her two daughters' marriages, and only secondly did she consider the personal issues of their sons-in-law.
When Tang Xinxin married into the Chen family, Tang's mother thought that although Old Mrs. Chen was a troublemaker, she wouldn't really cause any real trouble, and since they lived so close to her family, she and Tang's father could take care of her to some extent. Given Tang Xinxin's temperament, she wouldn't suffer any losses under her thumb, and besides, the young couple wouldn't have to live with her in-laws, which would reduce a lot of problems.
As for the He family that Tang Xinxin remarried into, it goes without saying that He Zhan's biological mother passed away many years ago, and the old master of the He family doesn't manage things anymore. Once Tang Xinxin marries into the family, she will be the head of the household, and her life will be incredibly comfortable.
In her past life, Tang Xiaoxiao married far away to City D. Guo Mingli disguised herself so well that Tang's mother only met her once before Tang Xiaoxiao and Han Yunqi got married—it was just the two families discussing the marriage. Guo Mingli had been in the business world for many years and handled things flawlessly on the surface, making people think she was sensible and reasonable. Similarly, the Han family prepared a wedding house for Han Yunqi, and Tang Xiaoxiao didn't live with her in-laws. Tang's mother never worried that Tang Xiaoxiao would have a bad life.
Actually, if things had gone according to plan, although Guo Mingli was sometimes confused and made a lot of mistakes, with Han Shiping keeping her in check, she wouldn't have caused any major trouble. Tang Xiaoxiao's first two years after marriage were also quite good. She would occasionally go back to her in-laws' house for a meal, and she could easily forget any words Guo Mingli said that she didn't like.
But life is unpredictable; who could have imagined that Han Shiping would die in a car accident?
That marked the beginning of the deteriorating relationship between Tang Xiaoxiao and her mother-in-law.
That being said, Tang's parents could clearly see that Han Yunqi was extremely fond of their daughter. Their eldest daughter had already become the matriarch of the He family, and the He family wielded considerable power in City A. Even if they were to prepare for the worst, if Han Yunqi were to do anything to wrong their younger daughter in the future, their family could make him suffer greatly in City A.
Even without the influence of the He family, judging from Tang Xiaoxiao's current development, she might not be worse off than the He family in a few years.
