It was Zhou Ruilan who opened the door, and when she saw Yang Guangyu, she wanted to lock him out.
Zhou Weili saw it in time and let someone in.
Yang Guangyu rode over on his bike, his nose was red from the cold, and he greeted everyone while sniffing.
Finally, he said, "I, I'll come and take Lanhua home for a reunion dinner."
Zhou Ruilan moved to her mother's house permanently last year. When Yang Le was in school, he would go back to his own home, and when he had holidays he would go back to his mother's house.
Yang Guangyu knew that she was just throwing tantrums at him, but he remained tolerant, thinking that as long as she was happy, it was fine. Anyway, since she was willing to live at home, it meant that there was no big problem.
But it doesn't make sense to be at my mother's house on the 30th of this year.
Yang's parents ordered Yang Guangyu to come and apologize and take him back home for reunion.
In fact, Yang Guangyu always felt that he had done nothing wrong. Over the years, whenever Zhou Ruilan got angry, he had to admit his mistakes, and he felt a little impatient.
But seeing that his brother and sister-in-law were living in harmony, and missing Zhou Ruilan and his daughter, he came here.
Alas, what else can I do? The wife I married has such a personality, so I can only give in.
He is a man, so he can bear some injustice.
Yang Guangyu walked up to Zhou Ruilan and said in his usual good-tempered manner, "I'm sorry... Come back with me, okay?"
Zhou Ruilan shook off his hand and walked aside without saying anything, but her meaning was very clear.
Zhao Chunmiao also said calmly: "We are about to have dinner at home, Lanhua will not go back with you, let's talk about it after the New Year."
"Mom..." Yang Guangyu was a little anxious, "It won't sound good if the news gets out that we're spending New Year's Eve at my parents' house. Please let Lanhua go back with me."
Zhao Chunmiao sneered: "Is it me who doesn't allow her to go back with you? Ask her if she is willing to go back with you!"
Yang Guangyu turned to Zhou Ruilan again and pleaded, "Lanhua..."
Zhou Ruilan's brows moved, as if they relaxed a little.
Yang Guangyu struck while the iron was hot, "Even if you don't think about me, you should think about Lele. Lele's last name is Yang, and she will definitely spend the New Year at home. Her grandparents have even prepared a big red envelope for her."
As in the past, Lele would definitely remain silent at this time.
But today, for some reason, he actually said, "I don't want to go back to my grandparents' house. I want to stay at my uncle's house."
Yang Guangyu was stunned, "Le Le, grandpa and grandma love you the most, you..."
Yang Le pursed his lips and said nothing.
It’s true that her grandparents loved her, but her aunt didn’t like her. She even secretly pricked her with a needle before, and it was so painful.
She didn't tell anyone about this because she knew that if she told anyone about it, her parents would definitely have a quarrel, and she was afraid of her parents quarreling.
However, Yang Le's fear of her aunt was deeply engraved in her heart. No matter how good her grandparents were to her, she didn't like to go there.
Yang Le silently held Qin Hanshu's hand.
Qin Hanshu glanced down and said, "Lele has grown up so much, and this is the first time I, as her aunt, have seen her. I don't know when I will come back to visit her next time, so let the mother and daughter spend the New Year with me."
This reason is impeccable.
Yang Guangyu hesitated, should he stay too?
Although it would not look good if the son-in-law spent the New Year at his brother-in-law's house, it would be difficult to explain to his family if he did not bring Lanhua and Lele back with him this time.
"Guangyu, you should go back first. I guess your family's reunion dinner is about to start. You don't want your family to wait for you alone." Zhou Weili spoke slowly and immediately made a move.
After all, he is a superior, and even at home, his words are full of official authority.
Even though Yang Guangyu was embarrassed, he didn't dare to say anything more. He asked Zhou Ruilan one last question before leaving unwillingly.
Zhou Changan didn't say a word from beginning to end. Halfway through the reunion dinner, he suddenly asked Zhou Ruilan: "What do you think about your marriage?"
Zhao Chunmiao said, "It's New Year's Day, why are you talking about this?"
Zhou Changan pretended not to hear and looked at Zhou Ruilan and said, "How can a married woman stay in her parents' home? You should know how to deal with your little family."
These words also brought up Zhao Chunmiao's worries.
She rarely talks about this issue with her daughter, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have some thoughts in her mind.
In Zhao Chunmiao's opinion, marrying a man like Yang Guangyu is the most miserable thing.
Because you can't say he is a bad person, people outside will even praise him as a very good person. Except for her family, few people can stand in Zhou Ruilan's perspective and speak up for her grievances.
However, Zhao Chunmiao and Zhou Changan were elderly people after all, and their ideas on marriage were still relatively traditional, so they had never thought of letting Zhou Ruilan get a divorce.
The current situation is that Yang Guangyu always admits his mistakes and makes concessions, but he has never actually corrected them. Instead, he has become more aggressive. This is because Zhou Ruilan only looks powerful, but is actually a paper tiger.
They hoped that Zhou Ruilan could be more powerful and control Yang Guangyu thoroughly and keep the entire family in her hands.
Everyone at the table looked at Zhou Ruilan.
Zhou Ruilan was in a state of confusion.
Life was not going well, but she didn't know what to do or how to change it to make things go well.
Zhao Chunmiao sighed in his heart and said, "Let's enjoy the New Year now, and we can talk about everything after the New Year."
***
After staying in his hometown for more than half a month, Qin Hanshu was ready to pack up and return to Jiangcheng.
When they came, they brought a lot of bags, and when they left, they also brought a lot of bags, or even more.
Zhao Chunmiao said: "Lanhua is going with you anyway, so with her help, you can bring more. There are too many things at home to eat..."
The elders on both sides were supportive of Zhou Ruilan's going to Jiangcheng to relax. Only Yang Guangyu expressed his opposition after knowing it, muttering, "You are already a mother, but you still only think about playing. You are not stable..."
Zhou Ruilan was so angry that she almost quarreled with him again.
Qin Hanshu stopped Zhou Ruilan and pulled Yang Guangyu aside.
"Guangyu, I went with Lanhua on our first blind date. Do you remember?"
Yang Guangyu nodded, "Remember, there is also Lanhua's third brother."
"At the time, we all felt that you were a careful and considerate gay man, and Lanhua would definitely not be wronged if she followed you."
Yang Guangyu smiled sheepishly, "I'm not that good either. Lanhua has suffered some injustices over the years."
Qin Hanshu smiled, "So you know she's been wronged."
Yang Guangyu was not a fool, so he naturally heard Qin Hanshu's sarcasm.
He said, "How can people live in this world and everything goes as they wish? As the old saying goes, it is a blessing to suffer a loss. There is no need to care about everything. What is important is that the family is harmonious and don't quarrel over trivial matters all day long."
Qin Hanshu snorted coldly, "Your so-called harmony is based on Lanhua being the only one to be bullied. If you want to suffer the loss and enjoy this blessing, no one else can interfere, but Lanhua is not born to be bullied. You are forcing her to be humble and submissive to others, which is a great torture for her."
"Besides, Lanhua is not someone who would take the initiative to cause trouble. When she was at her parents' house, I never heard her quarrel with anyone every day. Why is there so much trouble when she goes to your house? Does it mean that the problem is still with your family?"
Yang Guangyu opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Qin Hanshu finally said: "In short, don't think that Lanhua is a woman and can't live without you."
Yang Guangyu frowned and said, "Third sister-in-law, what do you mean?"
Qin Hanshu: "What I mean is, no matter what Lanhua wants to do or what decision she makes, our family will be her strong backing. She has a wide road ahead of her, whether she moves forward or backward, she can walk sideways!"
