Chapter 161
"No wonder. Actually, it's not that my mother dislikes Lanhua. She just thinks that the behavior of the future second sister-in-law is wrong."
Zhang Chunli knows her mother, she is a very kind person.
"She cheated first, but my brother still forgave her. My mother is worried that my second brother will be controlled by his wife and will not be able to hold his head up in the future."
That's why her mother didn't quite agree with their marriage.
Tang Wan didn't comment further when she saw this, as she didn't want to interfere in other people's marriages.
"Looking at this situation, have they set a date for their wedding?"
"not yet."
Zhang Chunli shook her head and said, "Once my second brother agreed, she thought she could bring Lanhua with her when she got married.
So I have been making a fuss recently. I dare not tell anyone else, and only you, Sister Tang, can ask me and I can tell you. "
Zhang Chunli and Tang Wan have a good relationship, so they feel there is nothing that cannot be discussed.
"I see. Thank you, Chun-Li."
After getting the answer, Tang Wan did not stay in the brown sugar factory, but went directly to find Aunt Zhou.
Aunt Zhou was knitting a sweater, and Lanhua was winding wool beside her.
"Auntie, Lanhua hasn't gone to school yet?"
Tang Wan smiled and placed a small bag of dates on the table in the room, but Aunt Zhou quickly refused.
"Come if you want to. Why bring anything? Lanhua is still a little young. I want to send her to school when she's older."
"A few dates are not worth much."
Tang Wan stuffed a few dates into Lanhua's mouth and said, "Lanhua, wash them and try them to see if they taste good."
"Thank you, Auntie Tang."
Lanhua smiled obediently and took the dates to wash them. Tang Wan then talked about business with Aunt Zhou.
"I asked Zhang Chunlin's sister, and her mother did not agree to Xu He bringing Lanhua to marry her, and there was a commotion at home."
"I'll tell you."
Aunt Zhou sighed, "I'm just worried that they won't be able to accept Lanhua.
Now I have moved here and can make some money by pasting paper boxes.
I can afford to support Lanhua, why does she have to take Lanhua with her to suffer?"
"Lanhua is my daughter. Is it a punishment for me to take care of my own daughter?"
I don't know why Xu He came here. She didn't have to go to work today and came to see Lanhua.
"mother."
Lanhua heard the noise and trotted over from the faucet, holding a date and saying flatteringly:
"These are the dates that Auntie Tang brought. Mom, please taste them."
"Be good, Lanhua. Play by yourself for a while. Mommy has something to talk to grandma about."
Xu He gently rubbed Lanhua's hair and then went into the house.
Lanhua also obeyed. After giving the dates to Tang Wan and the others, she ran off to play with her friends in the yard.
Aunt Zhou said unhappily, "It was you who said you didn't want to bring orchids.
I am taking good care of Lanhua now, why are you doing this?"
"mother."
Xu He was still willing to call Aunt Zhou "mother". She glanced at Tang Wan and said:
"I know my brother-in-law came here to make trouble before, and they know that this house belongs to you and Lanhua.
I also know that there is a pension every month, so I will definitely not miss out on so many things.
You are one old and one young, and I am afraid something might happen to you. Besides, I didn’t want to bring Lanhua with me at first because I didn’t know what kind of person Zhang Chunlin is.
After he got to know Lanhua, he felt sorry for me and was willing to help take care of Lanhua."
"Being pitiful doesn't mean I still truly love you."
Aunt Zhou always speaks directly, "Don't talk to me about my youngest son. I won't let him succeed.
Everyone in the compound will help us. The key is that you are still so young and you will definitely have children in the future.
How embarrassing will Lanhua be then? Will you treat her better than your future children?"
Xu He was silent for a while. She couldn't deny that she could have a child.
Zhang Chunlin has never been married and will definitely have his own children in the future.
If she doesn't give birth to a child, she won't be able to stay in the Zhang family.
"I will treat Lanhua well. Lanhua is my daughter. She is my flesh and blood. How can I not love her?"
"Then can you put orchids first?"
Aunt Zhou asked another soul-searching question. Seeing Xu He fall silent, she said:
"You can't, but I can. Lanhua is number one in my heart now, and no one can compare to her."
"It would be better for the child to stay with his mother."
Xu He turned to look at Tang Wan, "Comrade Tang, you are married too.
You're going to be a mother soon, right? Do you think the child should live with the mother or the grandmother?"
“Why don’t you ask your child what he thinks?”
Tang Wan comes from the modern era, and in her opinion, it is better for children to follow their parents.
But the prerequisite is that her parents love her the most.
Xu He's situation is a little special now. It cannot be said that she is wrong, but if she remarries and brings Lanhua with her, Lanhua may indeed be wronged.
Xu He was stunned and a little angry, "Comrade Tang, do you think I can take care of Lanhua without a mother?"
"will not."
Tang Wan shook her head and said, "I believe that as a mother, you will treat Lanhua well.
But you guarantee that everyone in the Zhang family will treat Lanhua well. Will the people in your future husband's family look down on Lanhua behind her back?
Of course I am not only talking about your future lover, but also his or her family and relatives."
Xu He was silent again, she couldn't help crying, "Comrade Tang, you are not me, so you can't empathize with me.
I really like Zhang Chunlin, he is very nice to me, and orchids are my life.
I want both, why can't I have both?"
"How can one achieve the best of both worlds, without failing the Tathagata or you?"
Tang Wan sighed, "Auntie Zhou lives here now, so why do you have to divide it so clearly?
If you are busy, you can leave the child with grandma. If Lanhua misses you, you can take her back, okay?"
"I……"
Xu He pursed her lips. When she looked into Aunt Zhou's moist eyes, she realized for the first time that this old lady was...
Now, apart from Lanhua, it seems like I have no relatives.
Because her younger son and daughter-in-law are so unreliable and are always thinking about her money.
She pursed her lips sadly, "I'm sorry, mother, I didn't mean to go back on my word, I just can't bear to leave Lanhua."
"I know."
Aunt Zhou did not continue to argue with her, "I was also in your time.
The child’s father passed away when I was in my forties, and many people advised me to remarry.
I'm gritting my teeth and holding on for the sake of my children, but you're different. You're still young, Xiaohe, if you want to get married, just get married.
Don't let Lanhuatie hold you back, come see her if you want her."
"mother!"
Xu He was moved and knelt in front of Aunt Zhou. "You will always be my mother. I will take care of you until the end of your life."
"Don't be like this, Xiaohe."
Aunt Zhou helped Xu He up and said, "I don't think too much about it. Lanhua is my granddaughter. If I don't treat her well, who else can I treat well?"
"yes."
Tang Wan agreed with a smile, "Let's talk about this after you get married.
If they are all nice to Lanhua, wouldn't it be okay to take her home to live with them from time to time?"
After hearing what Tang Wan said, Xu He finally understood, "Thank you, Comrade Tang."
It is true that marriage is more important now.
Lanhua is so cute. After marriage, take her to meet the Zhang family more often. Maybe their relationship will improve.
