He thought his wife had long forgotten those painful things.
After all, it's been over ten or twenty years, and I've never heard my wife mention it before.
He had forgotten many things, only vaguely remembering that his wife couldn't stand the child crying and treated Erming very badly.
Back then, what mother didn't love her son?
This incident was so shocking, and the subsequent division of the family business is why Shen Wanli has always remembered it.
But I've long forgotten the specific details.
Can……
So Guifen remembers it so clearly.
"My father is going too far! Why is he so biased towards the old lady? Mother, I don't want to marry someone like that. Just thinking about it makes me feel terrible."
Shen Liuliu spoke out for Tian Guifen from inside the house.
Wang Xiuhe and Fang Hui were also comforting their mother-in-law. Although they didn't explicitly say anything about their father-in-law's faults, the meaning behind their words was very clear.
Shen Wanli subconsciously took a step back.
He was somewhat frightened.
What will his daughter-in-law and daughter think of him?
But then he blamed himself for thinking that way. If he hadn't done something wrong back then, how could he have such leverage?
So he really failed miserably?
So much so that his daughter says she will never marry someone like him.
Shen Wanli left, utterly dejected.
From that day on, Shen Wanli unconditionally tolerated Tian Guifen and never said a word of dissent again.
He didn't have many days left to live, and he wanted to do his best to make up for it.
Six months later—
Shen Erming and Zhao Di got married.
Three months after their marriage, Shen Erming left home to continue running the winery business.
Mei kept urging Zhaodi to go with Shen Erming.
"Tell me, now that your two younger brothers are married, why do you still need to give the family money? Why don't you go with Erming?"
"That's right, Shen Erming is a man. If you don't keep an eye on him, what if..."
Upon hearing this, Zhao immediately scolded, "Mei Zhong, can you speak properly? What nonsense are you spouting? Er Ming is not that kind of child."
Why can't you speak properly?
Mei Zhong explained, "Of course I hope my daughter and son-in-law will be well, but Erming is fine, but he can't resist being seduced by someone."
With such a good son-in-law, of course we have to be careful.
Zhao rolled her eyes at him, then said to Zhao Di, "My dear daughter, your father's words may not be pleasant to hear, but that's exactly what he meant. Er Ming is good, but what if someone always..."
"Besides, the Shen family doesn't need the money you earn. You should go with Erming so you can get pregnant sooner. That's the right thing to do."
Zhao patiently and earnestly advised him.
Their daughter is already quite old, and Shen Erming is also over thirty and still doesn't have a child.
The Shen family must be hoping to have a grandson soon.
If she doesn't have a child early on, how can this girl feel at ease?
“Mom! Even though I’m married to Erming, I’m still me. I can’t stop earning money just because Erming earns more. I like to earn my own money and spend it myself; that makes me feel at ease.”
Zhao Di didn't want to argue with her parents, so she just let them say what they wanted.
After all, he's getting older, so it's normal for our opinions to differ.
What is Mother talking about?
She's married, does that mean she's no longer Zhao Di? Shouldn't she have her own life? Doing everything according to Shen Erming's wishes is simply terrifying.
She's still earning money, not for her family, but for herself.
She feels at ease earning her own money, no matter how much.
Because she was certain that even if Shen Erming didn't want her anymore, she could support herself.
This is the foundation and basis of her survival.
Not men and children.
"My dear child, it's not that I'm not letting you be yourself, but can't you wait until you have the baby before you can be yourself? Can't you tell what's important and what's urgent?"
Zhao spoke earnestly and patiently, her mouth practically steaming with exhaustion.
Why is this child so stubborn?
Zhao Di said calmly, "Mother, Er Ming and my in-laws have no objections, so why are you in such a hurry?"
Zhao was so angry that she sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) and kept slapping her thigh: "How can I be so anxious? I'm worried that you're too old to have children!"
My daughter was delayed in getting married until she was so old because of them.
If they really can't have children, wouldn't they be dragging their daughter down for the rest of her life?
They died with their eyes open!
“Mom! You’re overthinking things. It’s alright. My in-laws really have no objections. After they found out, they even told me that if I’m too lazy to cook, I can go back to live with them, or I can come live here if I want. It’s up to me.”
Zhao Di said all this to put her parents at ease.
In their minds, she was marrying way above her station! If she didn't take good care of her husband by having children, what if she was abandoned?
That's why Zhao Di has so much patience.
“Your in-laws are good-tempered people, no doubt about it, but you can’t be too self-willed. Since Erming isn’t home, you should take even better care of them.”
"Don't worry, Mother, I'll go back to stay here every now and then."
After Shen Erming and Zhao Di got married, they bought a house in town, close to where Zhao Di worked.
A smile finally appeared on Zhao's face, but she still held her daughter's hand and repeatedly urged her to have a child soon.
"...Don't be angry, I'm doing this for your own good. Giving birth at your age is bad for you, too dangerous. You don't know, childbirth is like going through the gates of hell for a woman..."
This time, Zhao was simply trying to persuade her daughter from the perspective of her daughter's safety.
After all, it is truly dangerous.
Zhao Di listened and said, "Mother, don't worry. Although Er Ming and I aren't in a hurry, we'll just let things take their course."
They didn't try to hide it; they simply decided to have a child whenever they felt like it.
How can they decide when something like this will happen?
Zhao understood what she meant, but she still wanted to suggest that Zhao Di spend more time with Er Ming, for example, by going out with him... but thinking of her daughter's attitude, she swallowed her words.
"Let's not talk about me yet. Has the second son's wife come back from her parents' home?"
Zhao Di's trip back to her parents' home this time was for this very reason.
Although it is said that after marriage, one should refrain from interfering in the affairs of one's wife's family.
But she was also really worried about her younger brother and parents.
Speaking of her second son's wife, Zhao's face darkened, and she gave a bitter smile: "Not yet. I asked my second son to go and coax her, but he absolutely refused to go. He's such a stubborn mule."
“Second brother did the right thing. It was clearly her who went too far and was wrong. If second brother goes after her to coax her, then next time she will step on your faces, Father and Mother.”
Zhao Di said indignantly.
Zhao was anxious: "What are we going to do? We were a perfectly good couple, and now one of us is here and the other is at her parents' house? I'm still waiting to hold my grandson!"
Life must go on.
Someone has to bow their head eventually.
Otherwise, will we just stay stuck in this stalemate?
This isn't how you live your life.
