Old Zhao was still somewhat unwilling to give up. After all, he had made so much 'effort' and said so much; he couldn't just watch all his previous 'efforts' go to waste!
More importantly... he gave Yun Youliang 'so much' food, and we can't let it go to waste.
So, after scolding Old Lady Zhao, Old Man Zhao tried his best to smooth things over and find a way to make up for Old Lady Zhao's behavior.
So, less than two seconds later, Old Man Zhao, pretending to scold Old Woman Zhao, spoke up again: "I've told you a thousand times, and if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute. Tell me, how come you don't have any memory at all? You've wasted all these decades of your life. Don't you know how many people you've offended over the years because of your mouth?"
"Your family, relatives, friends, neighbors, and so on, they know you well, they understand you, they know you have a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Even if your words are a bit harsh or hurtful, you don't mean any harm. So even if you say something wrong sometimes, other people may be angry, but no one will really take it seriously."
"But don't think that what you're doing is right!"
“Old woman, I know you. I know you’re worried that our Duo’er will be led astray by those… well… anyway, by those people in the underworld, and really turn bad. You’re also afraid that the siblings will have a falling out because of Duo’er, so you’re anxious.”
"But I know, and Duo'er doesn't!"
"The child is still young, and she wasn't raised by us since she was little. Do you think she can understand your good intentions?"
"I told you before we came that you couldn't rush, you couldn't rush. What did you promise me? But... you forgot everything when you got anxious?"
At this point, Old Man Zhao shook his head dramatically, pointed his finger at Old Woman Zhao's forehead, and said with a tone of 'disappointment,' "What can I say about you?"
"If I had known, I shouldn't have let you come."
"It would be better to have Da Long or Xiao Hu accompany me on this trip..."
Old Zhao really regretted it.
"More trouble than good" perfectly describes his old woman at home, doesn't it? He should have just asked any grandson to come with him; maybe then the siblings could have gotten to know each other better and strengthened their bond.
After all, they are of the same generation, so it should be easier to communicate with them than with elders, right?
Old Zhao thought with frustration, racking his brains for a way to "win back," or rather, to slightly win back, the little girl Yun Duo's heart.
Yun Dazheng and Yun Qishi were so angry that their faces turned red. Several times they wanted to tell them to leave, but Yun Duo's eyes and actions stopped them. They could only suppress their anger and glare fiercely at Old Man Zhao.
Originally, Old Zhao was still quite uneasy, but seeing the interaction between Yun Duo, Yun Qishi, and Yun Dazheng, he couldn't help but feel smug.
So, Yun Duo is still just a young girl, and no matter what, she definitely cares about family. Just now, her mother-in-law said those hurtful things, look how angry she made the two elders of the Yun family! But in the end… he smoothed things over with his words. Can't you see that the girl now wants to hear him finish speaking?
With a little more effort, winning over a young girl shouldn't be too difficult.
As long as... those two old fogies from the Yun family don't cause any trouble, that's fine.
