Wen Qiaoyi felt a tightness in her heart when she heard this.
She wanted to say how could you say that?
That's your own son, where does that put him?
But in addition to having a sense of right and wrong, people also have emotions and preferences.
Even if Wen Qiaoyi felt that her daughter was wrong, in her heart, her daughter's position was far more important than her grandson.
Her love for her daughter was far greater than her consideration for her grandson's life... In fact, she didn't consider her grandson's life, and that was not her responsibility. She just felt that her daughter's behavior was inappropriate, like any well-educated person.
But the love for my daughter ultimately outweighs everything else.
It's not that she is overstepping the bounds, but she knows her daughter very well. She is just like that. It is useless to force her to accept your way. It will only make her more and more extreme and hysterical, just like her father forced her to take the child back, which led to the current situation.
What's more, although what my daughter said made people uncomfortable, it was indeed the reality.
She certainly hopes that her future life will be smooth sailing.
To be able to marry a decent person and live a happy life.
But my daughter was raised in a compound since she was young, and she is proud and arrogant.
She wants to marry someone of equal status, so that she can live a decent life in the future and be envied and looked up to by others.
But she has a child and keeps him by her side, so people with similar conditions would not be interested in her.
It would be fine if her father was still in the position, but her father is old, has many injuries on his body, and is in poor health. I'm afraid he will have to retire in a few years.
The situation will only get worse then.
Wen Qiaoyi no longer expected her daughter to become an outstanding person. Even though she was considered selfish and cold-hearted by the world, as a mother, she still hoped that she could live a good and happy life in the future.
So she sighed, and finally couldn't say anything to persuade her, and only said: "Your father has agreed to send Tongtong away."
Han Qinqin's eyes suddenly widened, and then she sat up.
I don't cry anymore.
She was surprised and asked, "Dad agreed?"
Wen Qiaoyi nodded, but she was not very happy. Instead, she said in a heavy voice: "Qinqin, after sending the child away, you should reconcile with the Lin family. In the future, you should do everything you should do for the child..."
Even if reality chooses you, you should do things properly.
But Han Qinqin said nothing.
She just wanted to have nothing to do with that place anymore.
Wen Qiaoyi sighed, knowing that it would be useless even if she talked till her mouth was hoarse, so she could only help her to fill in the blanks behind her to the best of her ability.
She pushed Han Qinqin away, stood up, and said, "I'll go and persuade Tongtong... You pack up and go out for dinner later."
After a pause, he said, "Qinqin, no matter what you think, don't make any more trouble when you go out. You can choose not to talk to your brother and the others, but don't show displeasure. It was wrong for Han Guo to hit Tongtong, but it was Tongtong who was unreasonable first. Your own affairs are already troublesome enough, so don't add more trouble to yourself."
"Your eldest sister-in-law will also come to the provincial capital to study in college in the future. She and Guoguo may have many opportunities to come to our house. Mom doesn't ask you to get along well with them, but at least you should get along well with them and not make the house a mess... This will be good for you and your eldest brother."
"Even for your own future, don't be too selfish. Look beyond the present moment and don't just focus on the little things in front of you."
When she said this, the gentleness and the uncomfortable and conflicted expression on her face were gone, and she looked much more stern.
Han Qinqin opened her mouth and wanted to say something but then bit her lip.
She wanted to say that she was upset and didn't want to get along with them.
But she also knew her mother. There were some things she could make a fuss about, but some things she absolutely couldn't.
Her mother was willing to help her with the divorce and child issue because she felt sorry for her.
But if she acted unreasonably in front of her father... not only would she not dare to do so, she knew her mother would not stand on her side either.
Seeing that she stopped talking and not expecting any response from her, Wen Qiaoyi turned and walked towards the door.
But when she walked to the door and reached out to open it, she heard a faint voice from behind: "Mom, if I married someone like Dad, I would also love him and cherish him, and live a good life."
Wen Qiaoyi's hand that was holding the door handle paused.
She really didn't know what to say. She wouldn't listen to reason, but if she kept thinking like this, how could she live a good life in the future?
Wen Qiaoyi went out worriedly.
Wen Qiaoyi was in the middle of it all. She loved and even respected her husband, so she naturally thought highly of him.
But if it was Su Ruo, she would probably slap Han Qinqin to wake her up.
What do you like about your dad?
His personality? Are you a male chauvinist, strong, silent, and the one who has the final say at home? These are not shortcomings, but they are not advantages either. There are many people like this, and you, a young lady, will not like them.
What does he look like? He looks okay, but there are many people who look better than him. You are certainly not saying this because of his appearance.
What matters to you most is your father's high position and power. Wherever he goes, people respect him or fear him. What you want is the glory and respect that this high position and power brings you, making you feel superior.
But even Wen Qiaoyi didn't see through this point.
Or unwilling to see through.
******
Wen Qiaoyi went to the outer room.
She asked Han Zehua to take Lin Guitong out for dinner later.
Lin Guitong refused.
He twisted his neck and said stubbornly: "I want to go home."
Although the house at home is not as big as the ones here, the food is not as good as here, they can't eat fish and meat every meal, and there are not so many candies and snacks, but he has his father, his grandparents, and the uncles and aunts on the farm at home, and they all treat him better than the people here.
At least he won't feel that no matter what he does, others are looking at him with strange and critical eyes.
Wen Qiaoyi sighed and said softly, "Okay, your father will be here in two days, let him take you home."
Lin Guitong suddenly looked up at her and said, "Really?"
Wen Qiaoyi felt sad when she saw the light in his eyes. She nodded and forced a smile, "Really, your grandpa has agreed. But you have to go eat later. You can come back after eating a little. But don't lose your temper again. Later, ask your uncle to accompany you to the department store to choose a toy car. You can choose whichever one you like."
Lin Guitong then nodded reluctantly.
Although he hated Han Guo, he also knew that he couldn't beat him.
Moreover, he has parents, and his grandfather, the oldest in the family, also likes him.
But he has nothing here.
He was beaten by him, but his mother would only beat him.
Thinking of this, he felt even more depressed and almost burst into tears again.
******
Time flies.
While the two sides were talking, it was soon time for dinner.
There was no need to wait for Aunt Cao to call them, and everyone went back to the living room on their own.
As expected, Lin Guitong also came.
Except for some bruises on Lin Guitong's face and Han Qinqin's tense and dark complexion, no one else could see much difference from before.
But the atmosphere is different after all.
Even though Wen Qiaoyi and Han Zehua's wife Wu Mei still had gentle smiles on their faces, they only spoke in low voices. At most, they asked everyone to eat, teased Han Hui, and talked about their children.
But we will no longer go out of our way to greet each other like before, or find something to say on purpose for fear of ignoring someone.
This was indeed a very dull New Year's Eve reunion dinner.
However, although the Han family was dull, it was very lively outside.
While we were having dinner, we could hear the sounds of firecrackers outside, as well as various sounds of fireworks, and all kinds of colorful lights that could be seen through the window.
Han Guo quickly finished his meal, then greeted Han Hehuai and his parents, saying, "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, I'm done eating. Can I go set off fireworks?"
Before the Chinese New Year, Su Ruo bought a lot of fireworks for him from a state-owned store.
Some were also distributed to the troops.
Before leaving, Guoguo packed all these things himself, taking a little of each and putting them in his mother's luggage, for fear that his mother would forget them.
Han Zecheng patted him, then looked up and said to Han Hehuai, "Dad, it's not safe for him to play alone. Aruo and I will take him out to play."
Han Hehuai probably also found the meal boring.
He said, "No need to go back, just put them in the courtyard. Sister Cao, I remember there seem to be some at home, you can take them out for Guoguo and Guitong to play with, we will go and have a look later."
Aunt Cao agreed and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, I'll get it right away."
This was sent by someone else.
Apart from Lin Guitong, there were no other children in the Han family, and no one would think of playing with fireworks. Moreover, Han Hui was only a few months old, and they were afraid that others would accidentally hurt her or scare her when playing with fireworks.
Aunt Cao was very efficient. Soon she brought over fireworks of all kinds, long, square, round, paintballs, parachutes, fire wheels... all kinds.
Children's happiness is simple and they don't hold grudges.
By the time Aunt Cao led the two to set off a string of fireworks, the two children had forgotten their previous grudges and started playing together, even clamoring for Aunt Cao to set them off personally.
Of course Aunt Cao refused to give them any, so after they begged for a long time she just gave them some non-flammable fire, which were hand cannons that would make a crackling sound when you squeezed them or threw them on the ground.
But this did not stop them from being excited.
Decorated with colorful fireworks and the noise of children, the yard finally had some New Year's joy and the vigor of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new.
Children will not feel sleepy if they have something to play with.
But Su Ruo can't do that.
She was extremely tired last night, but she didn't get enough sleep this morning. She had been here since she left at noon. After watching Guoguo play for a while, she felt a little sleepy.
Han Zecheng saw that she was sleepy, so he lowered his head and asked her if he wanted to take her back to take a shower and sleep first.
Of course Su Ruo shook her head.
However, Han Hehuai heard their whispers and said to them, "Go back to sleep. I'll ask Sister Cao to take Guoguo back to sleep later."
Han Zecheng called Guoguo and asked him if he wanted to go back with them to sleep.
Guoguo looked back at his father and said decisively, "No, I want to stay up all night to celebrate the New Year."
A very legitimate reason.
Normally his father strictly requires him to follow a military schedule. Now that they have finally celebrated the New Year, he still wants him to go to bed before nine o'clock?
What are you thinking about!
