The son's marriage was related to the husband's future. Originally, Zhao Gan's father could have gotten a promotion through this, but Shu Lan ruined it. Guan Huichun disliked her in every way and wished she could break up with him. She arranged for Zhao Gan to go on a blind date with the deputy factory director's daughter.
Shulan felt suffocated. She didn't want to eat anymore. If they were going to break up, then so be it. Chu Yu was right; a short pain was better than a long one.
Even if she marries into a family like that, she won't be happy.
At worst, she could quit her job at the factory and become a self-employed individual like her mother. It would be a bit difficult, but she could make a living.
Shulan went upstairs to talk to Zhao Gan and clear things up. Zhao Gan's house was on the second floor. Guan Huichun was originally going to put the TV away, but Guan Huixian's child wanted to watch TV, so she took the key and opened all the cabinet doors.
The television was noisy. Guan Huixian caught a glimpse of Chu Yu and Shu Lan coming in together, and she couldn't help but smile.
"Shulan, why didn't you come downstairs to help? Zhao Gan's mother doesn't cook much and can't do this kind of rough work. From now on, you'll be in charge of the laundry and cooking at home. You must do a good job and not make your mother-in-law angry."
Shulan took a deep breath and held back her temper.
Zhao Gan's door was closed. After Shu Lan entered the room, Xiao Jiang and Yun Yun were drawn up by the sound of the television.
Guan Huixian glanced at Xiao Jiang and Yunyun. Guan Huichun often said that the Shu family was poor, but the Shu family members were all dressed better than the next, and even the children were wearing brand new down jackets.
Guan Huixian's husband died young, and her children were dressed shabbily. She didn't usually notice, but the contrast made her feel uncomfortable.
“People in rural areas are living quite well now, and the children are all dressed so in new clothes,” Guan Huixian said with a smile.
Chu Yu raised an eyebrow: "Is this the first time you've heard this?"
Guan Huixian felt that something was off about her words, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
"It's no use for rural people to have money. We city folks don't date people with rural household registration. I don't know what's wrong with Zhao Gan, he actually took a liking to your sister. The Zhao family only has this one son, and he's going to be ruined by your sister!"
It's not surprising that Guan Huixian would say such a thing. Guan Huichun and Zhao Gan are both like this, so why would Guan Huixian be an exception?
Chu Yu didn't want to cause trouble for Shu Lan, but looking at Shu Lan's expression, she didn't seem like someone who could tolerate it.
If they can't become in-laws, Guan Huixian and Guan Huichun are just a bunch of random dog shit.
Would you have a pleasant expression towards dog poop on the street?
Chu Yu smiled, her voice clear and gentle:
"You find it strange, but I find it even stranger. You say there are so many people in the Zhao and Guan families, yet you can't find a single person?"
Guan Huixian wasn't smart enough to understand the sentence. It took her a while to realize that Chu Yu was cursing her.
This is outrageous! How dare this little brat insult her? Guan Huixian has been a widow for half her life; when has she ever suffered like this? Guan Huichun doesn't take the Shu family seriously, so she has even less reason to give Chu Yu face.
"You country bumpkin, how dare you talk to me like that!"
"Auntie, look how angry you are. You think you're something special, but nobody's going to treat you like that, right? My sister has the best temper in our family, which has given you the bad impression that she's easy to bully. I don't have my sister's patience. I'm a country bumpkin with a bad temper. If anyone makes me unhappy, I'll make them unhappy too. You'd better watch out."
