Chapter 457: Marry a wife and forget your mother?
"I clearly didn't do anything, yet everyone misunderstands me." Seeing Su Jiaojiao silent, Qin Shuang realized that she shouldn't complain to a little girl. She put her phone away awkwardly and said, "Besides you, I don't have anyone to talk to..."
She did not tell Lu Jiaping about Wu Xinyue scolding her.
For no other reason, she was worried that the couple would quarrel and Qin Xiuming would be caught in the middle. Qin Xiuming said that this year his grandparents asked him to spend the New Year with them in the old house.
"Shuang'er, I'm going to say something I shouldn't. Xiuming's grown up now, so you don't have to focus all your attention on him." Chen Guilan guessed what Wu Xinyue had said without even reading the text. "If there's someone suitable, go meet them. Once you have a family, that woman won't say anything."
As long as Qin Shuang got married, Wu Xinyue would naturally not have any doubts.
Who can tell clearly what is going on between men and women?
"Even you're trying to persuade me like this?" Qin Shuang took a deep breath and frowned, "Aren't you still living alone?"
"I'm different from you." Chen Guilan had already let go of her own affairs and said frankly, "I'm divorced, and you're not. Besides, Su Houli and I won't have any contact over Jiaojiao's affairs. We owe each other nothing."
She has no contact with Su Houli.
Gao Meifeng couldn't find any reason even if she wanted to find fault... It was quite sad to think about it, they had been husband and wife for so many years, but they had no feelings for each other at all.
Su Jiaojiao listened quietly without saying anything.
Someone as smart as Qin Shuang would not fail to understand this.
In fact, she knew better than anyone what she should do, she just didn't want to do it.
After Chen Guilan said this, Qin Shuang fell silent. After a moment of silence, he stood up and was about to leave.
She said she came with the deputy director of her factory. The deputy director drove to Qimei to do some work and just sent her a text message saying that he was on the way to pick her up.
He walked to the door and stopped again, asking Su Jiaojiao: "I heard that you made floral shirts and baseball jackets at Qimei. How are they selling?"
"It's okay." Su Jiaojiao replied.
"I can make jeans now, too. If you need anything, just give me a call." Qin Shuang knew that Su Jiaojiao made jeans in Mocheng. Su Jiaojiao nodded, "Okay."
There was a horn honking downstairs.
"I should go now." Qin Shuang smiled at the mother and daughter, "Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year." The mother and daughter said in unison. They sent Qin Shuang downstairs, watched her get in the car and leave, and then went upstairs.
After entering the house, Chen Guilan asked Su Jiaojiao, "What did Lu Jiaping's wife say?"
"Mom, when did you become so gossipy?" Su Jiaojiao took a look, but she didn't want to repeat those sharp insults. "Just think about it, there's nothing nice to say anyway."
"Tell me, is the relationship between your Aunt Qin and Lu Jiaping really what Lu Jiaping's wife said?" Chen Guilan was also confused by Qin Shuang's words. As far as she knew, Lu Jiaping sometimes stayed at Qin Shuang's company, and they had that kind of relationship...
"I think there's something going on between them." It was the first time that Su Jiaojiao discussed such an issue with Chen Guilan. They were all adults, and it was consensual. It would be strange if nothing happened.
"That's just your Aunt Qin being confused." Chen Guilan understood, "After all, Lu Jiaping has a wife and daughter. It's not like she's left without a man."
"That's from our perspective. From Qin Shuang's perspective, Lu Jiaping is her ex-boyfriend. They already had feelings for each other, and he's the biological father of her son. How can other men compare?" Su Jiaojiao didn't want to talk about this topic anymore. It gave her a headache. She stretched and said, "I'm going back to my room to sleep."
It’s good to be with mom.
Eat when you want to eat and sleep when you want to sleep.
"They can't keep tangling like this." Chen Guilan casually picked up a rag and wiped the table, muttering, "No matter how much they love each other, Lu Jiaping didn't divorce her because of her, right?"
"Mom, you really hit the nail on the head." Su Jiaojiao agreed with Chen Guilan's words. "That's what men are like. Men are much more realistic than women."
To Qin Shuang, Lu Jiaping is the father of her son.
But for Lu Jiaping, his son is already by his side. He will not divorce Wu Xinyue or fight against the Lu family for Qin Shuang.
Because the price to pay for that would be more serious than losing Qin Shuang. He didn't want to bear it, and he couldn't afford it.
After returning to the bedroom, Su Jiaojiao picked up her cell phone and looked through it. There were two missed calls from Lu Jingyou. She was about to call him back when she saw a text message from him. He asked her when would be a good time for him to go to her house.
Su Jiaojiao didn't know either, so she went to ask Chen Guilan.
Chen Guilan said that they would return to the village on the third day of the Lunar New Year, stay overnight, and come back in the afternoon of the fourth day. Lu Jingyou lived far away and would definitely not be able to make it on the third day, so she said that he could come on the second day.
Su Jiaojiao went back to the house and called Lu Jingyou: "If you have time on the second day of the New Year, please come over. We will go back to the village on the third day and come back on the fourth day. Then we will go to my uncle's house on the sixth day. It depends on your schedule."
"I see. I'll go on the second day of the Lunar New Year." Lu Jingyou was actually excited when he heard that he would be visiting relatives. "I'll book a ticket now."
"Let me know when you've booked your ticket, and I'll pick you up." The airport is more than two hours away from her home.
"I'll take the airport bus to CITS. You can just pick me up at CITS." Lu Jingyou was very familiar with this route.
"Okay." Su Jiaojiao agreed happily.
"I miss you, do you miss me?" Lu Jingyou asked again.
"I thought about it..." Su Jiaojiao felt her ears turn red. She heard herself say, "It's quite cold back in the village. You should wear more clothes, and be sure to wear a down jacket."
"I see." Lu Jingyou chuckled, "Don't worry, your husband has traveled a lot and will take care of himself."
"That's good." Su Jiaojiao smiled.
The next day was New Year's Eve. Chen Guilan took Su Jiaojiao to Chen Guichang's home and gave him two bottles of wine.
When Chen Guichang saw that it was good wine and knew that it was brought back by Su Jiaojiao, the smile on his face became even wider. He asked about Su Jiaojiao's well-being and whether she had any difficulties. If so, she could tell him about it and they could solve it together.
"Thank you, uncle. I have enough food and clothes. There are no difficulties." Su Jiaojiao replied politely.
There were only Chen Guichang and Wang Yunying at home. Chen Jiang and Cheng Yu were still at home. Wang Yunying took the opportunity to complain to Chen Guilan about Cheng Yu: "She doesn't know how to come back early to help me with some work. She always comes only at mealtime. I didn't marry a daughter-in-law, I married an ancestor."
"It's tiring for them to run a restaurant. It's okay for them to rest at home during their vacation." Chen Guilan felt that Wang Yunying was too harsh on her daughter-in-law. "Jiaojiao sleeps all day when she comes home. I even have to walk quietly."
"How can a daughter and a daughter-in-law be the same?" Wang Yunying was unhappy when she saw Chen Guilan pleading for Cheng Yu. "You can sleep however you want at your parents' home, but when you go to your husband's home, you have to act like a daughter-in-law. Isn't that how we all got through life?"
"Okay, it's New Year's Day, stop talking!" Chen Guichang said impatiently, "It's just a small matter, is it worth talking about? I'm not afraid of Guilan laughing at me."
"They're so shameless that they came back to eat. Why shouldn't I say anything? I'm not afraid of being laughed at," Wang Yunying said angrily. "You just know how to smooth things over and act like a goody-goody. Why don't you help me with some work?"
"Mom and Dad, what are you arguing about?" Chen Jiang pushed the door open and walked in. He saw Chen Guilan and Su Jiaojiao there, and greeted them with a smile on his face. He called her "Auntie" and asked Su Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, when did you come back?"
"Two days ago." Su Jiaojiao answered while sitting on the sofa. She poked Chen Guilan and whispered, "Let's go back!"
My uncle and aunt started arguing.
What are they still doing here?
"Brother and sister-in-law, we're leaving." Chen Guilan couldn't sit still any longer. Chen Jiang tried his best to keep her and enthusiastically poured tea for them. "I just got back and you're leaving. Please sit for a while!"
"You still remember you just came back!" Wang Yunying was still angry and took it out on her son, "Why hasn't Cheng Yu come back yet?"
"Mom, Cheng Yu is at home washing clothes." Chen Jiang didn't understand why Wang Yunying was so angry. "I'll call her when it's time for dinner."
"It turns out she's just waiting to eat the ready-made food!" Wang Yunying got angry.
"Before you got married, you also cooked by yourself. Why are you so reluctant now that you're married?" Chen Jiang was also unhappy, his face gloomy. "She's not at home playing, what's wrong with her washing clothes?"
"I knew you would say that. Even if she was sleeping at home, you would still say she was busy, busy with work." Ever since her son got married, Wang Yunying has had a lot of complaints about him. "They say that when you marry a wife, you forget your mother. It's absolutely true."
"Mom, she's really washing clothes at home. If you don't believe me, go and see." Chen Jiang was helpless. "If you can't tolerate her, then we won't come back for dinner."
Chen Guilan pushed Chen Jiang and told him to stop talking.
"Mom, let's go back!" Su Jiaojiao couldn't sit still anymore, so she pulled Chen Guilan away.
No wonder conflicts easily arise between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
That's how contradictions arise.
