"Dad, do you and Mom not know how much Qingju's family values Xiaoduo? She's doing well in college, she's not in a hurry to find a partner and get married, but you two took it upon yourselves to arrange blind dates for her. I don't know what you were thinking."
"No, your mother just thought you were getting promoted too slowly and wanted to help you out. I've heard your mother talk about Xiao Lin; he's very well-off," Mr. Wei explained anxiously.
Wei Yaohui was so angry he laughed again. "Help me? I'm slow to get promoted? Or is it you guys who think it's slow? I think I'm doing just fine now."
"No, what's going on between you and Qingju?"
"That Xiao Lin you're talking about, what a piece of trash. At first, it was fine, but later he started pestering Xiao Duo and almost became a pervert. Because of this, Qingju and I almost got into a fight at home. Tell me, what kind of help are you and Mom doing?"
"No way, I met that Kobayashi once before, and she seemed nice. Is there some misunderstanding?"
"There's no misunderstanding. I'll make this clear this time. I can't interfere with our relatives' affairs. You and Mom can act as matchmakers for whomever you want. But don't worry about Qingju's family. They don't need us."
When his daughter-in-law was mentioned, Mr. Wei still harbored some resentment.
"Speaking of their family, their conditions are quite good in all aspects, but what benefits have you gotten from them? Isn't Sun Guangming your uncle? I haven't seen him help you with your work at all. You've been married for several years, and you've only been promoted once."
"Also, her older sister is so rich, and your aunt is so wealthy, but you haven't gotten rich along with her."
Wei Yaohui never expected that his father had so many grievances, and that his mother would probably be even more dissatisfied.
Mingming usually seems to have a good relationship with his parents and wife, and he always gets along well with the Zhao family, but it turns out he's been holding back all this inside.
"Dad, did I marry Qingju so that her family would help me?"
"That's not what Dad meant. You two are already married, so what's wrong with their family helping you?"
Wei Yaohui only knew that his parents occasionally had some ulterior motives, but he didn't realize how serious they were.
"Dad, our family's living conditions have improved so much now, isn't it all because of Qingju?"
His parents and he were just wage earners, and their living conditions were only so-so. But things really improved a lot after his wife started making money in her business.
He thought that this would make his parents more satisfied with his daughter-in-law, but he didn't expect there would be so much dissatisfaction.
Mr. Wei was a little embarrassed by the question.
Just then, Wei's mother pushed open the door and came back.
Upon seeing her son, she was initially overjoyed, but then became aggrieved.
"Yaohui, you've come at the right time. What's Qingju doing today? Who's she giving the cold shoulder to? I don't even know what to say to Xiaolin."
"Mom, how dare you say that? What do you mean? Did Xiaoduo ask you to help her find a boyfriend? You just took it upon yourself to do it. And that Xiaolin, you'd better not mention him again."
“I meant well. Girls have to get married sooner or later. If it weren’t for our family relationship, I wouldn’t have introduced Xiaolin to me, given her good qualities.” Mother Wei said, still sounding quite self-righteous.
Wei Yaohui had never felt such a large generation gap between himself and his parents.
"Since you're back, Mom, I'll say it again: I don't care who you're matchmaking for, and you can't interfere with any of Qingju's relatives and friends, okay?"
"If you want me to be well, then don't act on your own."
When her son suddenly said that, Wei's mother felt wronged.
"You've really forgotten your parents now that you have a wife. What have I done? I'm only doing this for your own good."
It's this again. Wei Yaohui was fed up. If they weren't his biological parents, he would have turned around and left immediately, never to have anything to do with them again.
Seeing that he couldn't reason with her, he could only say with a dark face, "That Xiao Lin is no good. He harassed Xiao Duo, and Qing Ju is very angry. I guess the Zhao family and her uncle will find out soon."
"Anyway, I'm still working for Uncle Guangming. You all know what kind of people Qingju's two older sisters and brothers-in-law, as well as her aunt, are. I don't know what they'll do if they find out about this."
Only then did Wei's parents become somewhat frightened.
"Yaohui, you can't be serious. We didn't do anything. We were just trying to be nice and introduce someone to you. What kind of family relationship do we have? Is it really necessary?"
"Is it worth it? By the way, what exactly does that Xiao Lin do? Please explain it to me now."
When Wei Yaohui left his parents' house, he also took his son Xiaobao with him.
He was really worried that if Xiao Bao stayed with his grandparents for too long, he would be negatively affected.
When Wei Yaohui finally arrived home, he found the house empty, and he panicked.
He was still thinking about how to explain to his wife when he got back, why she had run away.
Anxious and worried, he could only quickly call Sun Guangming.
In his opinion, his wife must have gone to her uncle's place.
To his surprise, when he called, Zhao Qingju wasn't there and asked him what was wrong. He could only laugh it off for now.
His wife had disappeared, so he had no choice but to take his son out to look for her.
After cleaning the house and sitting down to rest, Zhao Qingju asked about Xiaoduo.
"Do you think we should tell your mother about this?" She was also hesitant.
She and her second sister were still afraid of Zhao Qinglan, their eldest sister. The thought of her sister being angry if she found out about this made her uneasy.
"Auntie, there's no need to say anything. Everything's fine now. Saying anything will only make my mom worry."
"Then let's not talk about it for now."
When Sun Guangming returned home, the housekeeper told him that Wei Yaohui had called earlier that day to ask if Zhao Qingju was home.
The aunt didn't think much of it, but Sun Guangming frowned.
Did this couple have a fight?
Since he's the only elder living nearby, he naturally has to take extra care of his niece. Moreover, he was the one who introduced his nephew-in-law, Wei Yaohui, so he naturally has to be even more concerned about him.
Thinking of this, he prepared to get in the car and leave.
When he arrived at his niece's house, there was no one home. He knocked on the door for a while, but no one answered.
He asked his neighbors, who also knew him, and they said that the couple seemed to have had a fight. Upon hearing this, Sun Guangming became even more worried.
Wei Yaohui wasn't stupid. Since his wife wasn't at his uncle's house, he quickly thought of the small courtyard where his wife lived in the shop.
He went to the shop but no one was there, so he took his son and headed straight to the courtyard.
When he arrived at the courtyard and saw that his wife was indeed there, Wei Yaohui breathed a sigh of relief.
In front of her son, Zhao Qingju didn't argue with her husband, but she still glared at him quite a bit.
When Sun Guangming found the courtyard, he was quite happy to see Xiao Duo there, but his face darkened as soon as he saw Zhao Qingju and her husband.
"Xiaoduo, you watch over Xiaobao, you two come out with me."
The couple exchanged a glance before going out together.
In the distance, Zhao Qinglan and her husband began to talk.
“I haven’t sent Xiaoduo to school yet. I’ll go to Beijing to see her after I’m done with my work here in a few days.”
