The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been a major challenge. This is not only the case in Biancheng's family, but also in the families that Cheng Qing and others marry into.
Men play a significant role in this, especially in families like the Biancheng family. If a man is completely devoted to a woman, there's nothing anyone can do about it.
"He was pulled away by his mother without saying a word. His mother whispered something in his ear in a panic."
This is also the part that Cheng Qing finds hardest to accept, even though they've been getting along quite well lately.
She has also planned her next step: to arrange for both sets of parents to meet and see what both families think.
Now it seems there's no need for that at all; she doesn't want to rush into it at all.
"Don't worry, I'll look into it when we get back and see if there's been any misunderstanding." Su Ti didn't say anything discouraging.
At this moment, Cheng Qing must be feeling terrible. All the comforting words are less effective than solving the actual problem.
"No need, Suti. I want to ask him myself. If his mother really doesn't like me, then so be it."
“I think parents’ blessings are very important. Otherwise, even if we get together, we will inevitably quarrel. It’s better to cut our losses in time.”
Cheng Qing frowned slightly, and her words were rational and firm. Su Ti was particularly curious about what kind of family could raise such a girl.
In this day and age, let alone women, even men aren't this carefree.
Cheng Qing was 24 years old and still hadn't found a partner. She was anxious but not reckless. When she met someone suitable, like Bian Cheng, she acted quickly.
But once they feel something is inappropriate, they can rationally analyze the pros and cons, adjust their attitude, and never wrong themselves.
"Qingqing, I think there might be some misunderstanding in the middle. You and that Biancheng have been together for so long."
"Didn't you say that you two were going to meet each other's parents? That shows that he's serious. Think about it, he's already twenty-four years old."
"If he really listened to his parents that much, he would probably be married by now. How could he just leave without saying a word after his mother said something? He shouldn't be that indecisive."
“I think something big must have happened that he can’t think of anything else. Go ask him when you have another holiday. No matter what, we support you.”
Guo Lili has a good attitude and always thinks positively about everything. Even Su Ti thought her analysis made sense.
"Don't worry, I'm not feeling bad. I've been a little dazed these past couple of days because I've been thinking about what's happened between us."
"I'm now certain it wasn't my fault. I don't know anyone in Biancheng's family, and I didn't do anything impolite, so I'm relieved."
These past two days, Cheng Qing has been thinking about her past, fearing that the problem might lie with her, and that she wouldn't have the confidence to confront the situation.
Now she's pretty sure she doesn't have any problems, except for going on a few more blind dates, so she's relieved.
Suti and Guo Lili: "..."
Indeed, a clear-headed person always makes sure they are in an invincible position, even if it's inappropriate, they still maintain their dignity.
The three of them talked as they walked to the dormitory building.
"What's going on?" Several people saw a large crowd gathered over there from a distance. Cheng Qing was still feeling annoyed just a second ago.
He suddenly looks full of energy again.
"Is he confessing his feelings?" Guo Lili thought about how she had seen quite a few people dating on the playground a while ago.
"Let's go take a look." Suti was about to suggest going back when the two of them pulled him over.
“You’re a thief. You were the last one to leave at noon today, so you must have stolen it. That’s all my money, the money I saved from my family’s food rations.”
"I didn't steal it, I'm not a thief, sob sob sob..."
"It's you. Don't people know what you're like usually? You're dressed in rags and don't have a penny to your name, yet you actually ordered meat dishes for dinner."
"Where did you get the money and tickets? If it wasn't you, who else could it be? And everyone in our dorm got in on their own merit."
“Unlike you, who was recommended. I can’t see anything outstanding about you. Who knows how you got this spot?”
The noisy commotion provided plenty of entertainment for those around them.
"Comrade, you can leave your own dormitory matters aside, but what does this have to do with recommendations and passing the exam?"
"Yeah, so what if we recommended you? I was recommended because of my good performance at work. If it came down to an exam, I might not do any worse than you. What gives you the right to look down on me?"
"That's right. We're a year ahead of you. If it weren't for the fact that the college entrance exam had just been reinstated and things were chaotic, and there weren't enough dormitories for teachers, we wouldn't be sharing a classroom and a dormitory with you."
"I'm not expecting you to respect your seniors anymore. Who are you all trying to impress with your arrogance?"
The relationship between those recommended and those who took the exam was already tense during this period, and this one sentence was like stirring up a hornet's nest.
"What senior? Don't flatter yourself. When we were sent-down youth, did we not perform well? But even if there were recommendation slots, they were given to those who were related to the brigade leader."
"If they were really better than us, that would be one thing, but some of them can't even read and yet they go to university. It's a joke."
"What makes you so great? Just because you don't want to be in the same dorm as us doesn't mean we do!"
"Teachers have to accommodate you in class because they're afraid you won't understand. Don't you even know your own level?"
"Take this exam for example. Those who came in through the college entrance examination and those who were recommended by you took the exam separately. But look at your average score and then look at ours. Where do you get your confidence?"
They were talking about a burglary in the dormitory, but somehow the two sides started arguing again.
"Suti, Lili, that looks like one of our dorm girls." Cheng Qing recognized the woman who was huddled to the side crying.
She spends all her time with Suti and the others, rarely going back to the dormitory except to sleep, during this period when the two factions are fighting so fiercely.
One of the girls in her dorm was recommended for admission, and she was always causing trouble, which annoyed her so much that she didn't want to go back.
"Huh?" Guo Lili looked at the woman and thought she didn't look like a thief at all.
"I don't know what happened either." Cheng Qing looked at the woman, who was covered in injuries, as if she had been beaten.
"What's all this commotion? Get out of here!" The principal, the dormitory director, and several teachers arrived promptly.
If we had arrived a few steps later, a fight would probably have broken out over there.
"What exactly is going on? Look at yourselves! Are you here to cause trouble?"
“If you all have a record of this in your files, what will you do in the future? Whether you were recommended or admitted through exams, it will all be for nothing.”
The principal and others have also held meetings to discuss this issue recently, and they all feel that this cannot continue to develop.
