Feng Meilan didn't dare to talk back to her father-in-law. She snorted coldly and sat down with a long face, looking unconvinced.
Seeing this, Yu Qiuying's brother-in-law, Li Changyou, quickly broke the somewhat awkward atmosphere with a smile, "In the past two years, quite a few people have gone to Dongguan Province. I heard there are many factories there, and the monthly salary is at least three or four hundred."
"What, brother-in-law wants to go too?" Brother-in-law Lan Qingbin teased with a smile.
Yu Qiuying glanced at her brother-in-law, Li Changyou. He seemed like an honest and upright man, and he was also very hardworking and family-oriented when he was young.
But who would have thought that this man would become so wicked in his old age? In his previous life, when he was over fifty, he was having affairs with several women in their village, which offended all his children. His eldest sister, Yu Qiufeng, was so angry that she went to live with her eldest son's family in the city and didn't care about his life or death.
Thinking about all this, Yu Qiuying couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Some people just can't live too comfortably; if they live too comfortably, they're prone to making trouble.
Yu Qiuying withdrew her gaze, trying not to think about those messy things.
She told her mother, older sister, and younger sister: "I've let someone else farm the land at home. Caixiang spends most of her time at school and only comes home on weekends. She's already eighteen and should learn to be independent. As for Jiadong, he said he doesn't want to study architecture anymore and wants to come to Dongguan with me. If he wants to go, then let him go. He's a grown man and he can make his own decisions. As for getting married, we'll see what fate brings."
Yu Qiuying didn't tell her family much; she just informed them without asking for their consent.
Wang Huimei started rambling on as usual. Yu Qiuying listened to her mother's chatter without feeling annoyed. Instead, she felt a sense of peace and reassurance.
Yu Qiuying and Zhou Jiahong didn't go back until 3 p.m.
On the way, Zhou Jiahong complained to Yu Qiuying, "Mom, how annoying is my aunt? Do you know what she says about you behind your back? She said such awful things, I don't even want to tell you."
"Who told you?" Even though her youngest son didn't say, Yu Qiuying knew what Feng Meilan said about her behind her back. In her past life, Feng Meilan had held a grudge against her for her entire life. After her parents died, she rarely went to her younger brother Yu Zhiyong's house. She would only meet with him privately if there was anything to discuss.
"Miao Miao told me."
The Miaomiao that Zhou Jiahong mentioned is Yu Qingmiao, the youngest daughter of Yu Zhigang, Yu Qiuying's younger brother. She is thirteen years old this year. When she was nine years old, she was frightened and fell ill for a long time. Later, Yu Qiuying's mother invited a shaman to come and see her. The shaman said that there was something evil following her and that she had to be sent away to hide.
Finally, Yu Qingmiao was sent to live with Yu Qiuying's family for more than half a year, so she became quite close to Yu Qiuying's family.
Zhou Jiahong couldn't help but ask Yu Qiuying, "Mom, why does my aunt dislike our family so much?"
In his memory, it seemed that every time they went to his maternal grandmother's house, his aunt was not very welcoming and always liked to make sarcastic remarks about his mother.
When he was younger, he didn't understand the affairs between adults. He only knew that every time he went to his maternal grandmother's house, he would greet his aunt, but she would ignore him.
So when he got a little older, he didn't like going to his maternal grandmother's house as much.
"What else could it be? It's because when your uncle was looking for her, I said too much. She has ten older sisters and one younger brother. Her family has the worst reputation in the village. Her sisters have all been brainwashed into becoming 'brother-supporting demons.' When I learned about her family's situation, I said a few words of advice to your uncle, telling him to look for a couple more women. But your uncle still chose her." Yu Qiuying's face turned cold as she spoke of this.
If she were reborn back to the time when her younger brother was being looked after, she definitely wouldn't have said that.
Originally, she only meant well, hoping that her younger brother could marry someone from a simpler family background, but she never expected that she would end up pleasing neither side.
