Then look at the family that raised Old Man Qin's child; they seem to be honest and law-abiding.
What's even more impressive is that they've just moved from the countryside to the city. Although they looked a little uneasy at such a grand occasion, their manners and behavior were very pleasant. Knowing who they were, they didn't fawn over them like those who had never seen the world before. Instead, they showed respect, remaining neither arrogant nor servile, and they handled the situation very well.
A few ignorant people made some sarcastic remarks in front of them, and a few self-righteous people tried to curry favor with Old Man Qin and say a few words to reprimand these people on his behalf.
As a result, they just smiled politely and didn't respond.
It's not that they don't understand; it's just that they don't take these people's words to heart. They either don't speak at all, or when they do, it's always just polite and appropriate to the occasion, without losing face.
In addition, Ye Weiwei's parents and family members were sitting with them, chatting warmly, which showed that they got along well and it wasn't just a pretense of politeness.
Those with keen insight immediately understood why Ye Weiwei's family was subtly protecting the Huo family and helping to defuse the awkward situation.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Although he was from the countryside, he raised Qin Xiao as his own son for over twenty years, providing him with education and raising him to become a pillar of the nation. His character and integrity alone are enough to command respect.
Moreover, the Huo family is clearly very successful in educating their children. Their sons and daughters-in-law are down-to-earth and filial, and the children in the family are very polite in their words and deeds. They are much more pleasing to the eye than the other families present who are spoiled and difficult to discipline.
After observing the Huo family for a while, many who genuinely wanted to make friends with them went up to chat with them.
The Huo brothers, Huo Hai and Huo Jiang, have recently been learning to drive at the textile factory. They've gone out on a few trips and broadened their horizons, unlike when they first came to the city completely clueless. Although they don't talk much, they don't pretend to know what they don't. They are very patient and listen to others, which has benefited them greatly. People who talk to them also feel comfortable, thinking that these two young men are honest, unassuming, and reliable and capable.
Su Xuemei and Zhao Lingdang have gotten along well with their colleagues at the textile factory recently. Both of them are very proactive. Su Xuemei has already figured out the prices and other things in Kyoto after working in the textile factory's canteen for a few days.
Women often chat about household necessities, such as food, clothing, and household items, as well as men and children.
There was someone who had previously looked down on them because they came from the countryside, and even made sarcastic remarks about how their family had so many mouths to feed and they couldn't afford to eat in Kyoto.
Su Xuemei didn't feel offended or embarrassed. Instead, she said seriously, "It's not easy to live in Kyoto. Before we came, my parents-in-law reminded us that this place is not like our rural area. As long as we honestly farm and grow vegetables, our family won't go hungry. But when we think about moving to Kyoto, our children can go to school in this big city and have a brighter future, we think that no matter how hard or tiring it is, it's worth it."
The child in the family who was chatting with Su Xuemei also went to the same school as Xiaoshan and Xiaochun, and coincidentally, they were in the same class. She had heard that two transfer students had come to the class. Not only were they good at studying, but they also knew kung fu. In particular, Xiaochun could recite the Tangtou Song. The classmates all liked to play with them.
In particular, her daughter Qiqi exclaimed when she came home: "Mom, I don't think they are like people from the countryside at all. They are all so amazing, and they are completely different from our relatives in the countryside."
Now, hearing Su Xuemei say these words, she agrees even more.
The Huo family clearly values the education of their children, and what's even more commendable is that they don't have the outdated custom of favoring sons over daughters.
Qiqi said that although Huoshan is the younger brother, he is a little man who knows how to protect his older sister. Moreover, the siblings always share the good food they bring.
A mother who is reasonable and willing to plan for her child's future is always worthy of respect.
The troublemaker, annoyed by Su Xuemei's righteous and stern words, stopped talking and went to chat with others.
After all, it was a banquet hosted by the Qin family, and these were VIP guests of the Qin family. It would be fine to say a few innocuous words; she wouldn't be foolish enough to actually offend anyone.
Seeing that the woman had left empty-handed, Su Xuemei relaxed slightly and continued chatting with the parents of her son's classmate.
As expected, Weiwei was right when she told her mother.
They moved from the countryside; there's nothing they can't talk about, nothing they're ashamed of.
The more open and generous they appear, the more mean and unlikable those who want to make sarcastic remarks or cause trouble seem.
You can tell just by looking at how enthusiastic Qiqi's mother is.
Zhao Lingdang was more perceptive and adept at handling interpersonal relationships than Su Xuemei. She became familiar with her colleagues in the factory within a few days of starting work. Although she had connections with the Song family, she was more confident in her own words and actions.
She learned a lot about the popular clothing styles, fabric colors, and patterns in Kyoto from her colleagues. In addition, the clothes she was wearing today were made of new fabric provided by the Song family. Although the style was simple, it made her look exceptionally elegant. Furthermore, since marrying into the Huo family, she hadn't been as overworked as she was in the Zhao family, and Ye Weiwei had taken care of her health, making her complexion much better than before.
Even Ye Weiwei was surprised. Zhao Lingdang had only been gone a short time, but she was completely different from the skinny girl she used to be in the Zhao family. No wonder Brother Huo had his eye on her before; it seems she had a good foundation.
No matter how nice or expensive a woman's clothes are, if she doesn't look well, it's all for nothing.
With such a healthy complexion, even the simplest clothes look good on you.
Someone actually asked Zhao Lingdang how she maintained her health, and Zhao Lingdang didn't keep anything to herself, telling her about how Ye Weiwei had helped her take care of her body.
Hearing Zhao Lingdang say that she used to be dark-skinned and thin, with coarse and dry yellow hair, the person could hardly believe it. But when she thought that Ye Weiwei, her niece who had inherited the true teachings of Doctor Zhang, was her sister-in-law, she couldn't help but feel envious.
"You are so lucky."
You can tell from their appearance that the relationship between the sisters-in-law is very good, unlike their family, where the whole family lives together and the two sisters-in-law are always competing, playing tricks on each other, and being wary of one another.
Zhao Lingdang was also very content, "Weiwei is our family's lucky star. I'm with her every day, so of course I'm blessed with good fortune!"
"I don't know if I can go to your sister-in-law for a checkup. I injured myself a few years ago, and my whole body aches whenever it rains or is cloudy. It feels like my bones are falling apart."
Those who had been watching the conversation all turned to look at Zhao Lingdang, clearly also very interested in the matter.
