Father Wang shook his head helplessly, took a look, and continued to read the newspaper in his hand without asking any more questions.
Mother Wang walked towards Youyou and the others' room in a threatening manner.
At this moment, Youyou was lying on the dressing table, crying loudly because of Zhengsheng's departure.
In her eyes, Zheng Sheng had betrayed their love, having an affair with Qing Ke behind her back, and even having a child. She couldn't imagine how many other things they were hiding from her.
She was heartbroken, so painful that she couldn't breathe and felt like the sky was about to fall.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
Mother Wang stood at the door, hesitated for a moment, then raised her hand and knocked on Zhengsheng and the others' door.
Youyou heard someone knocking on the door, raised her head and looked at the door with tearful eyes.
She tried her best to hold back her tears, not wanting others to hear her crying. "Who is it?"
"Youyou, I'm your mother. Please open the door. I have something to tell you."
She hurriedly wiped the tears from her face, thought for a moment and responded: "Mom! I'm not feeling well and have gone to bed. Let's talk about it tomorrow!"
How could Mother Wang possibly wait any longer? She anxiously knocked on the door again.
"Youyou, please open the door for a moment. I won't disturb you for too long, okay?"
Mother Wang kept urging and persuading outside, with no intention of giving up.
Youyou looked at herself in the mirror helplessly. Looking at her tear-stained face, she felt that this face was so unfamiliar.
She and Zhengsheng had gone through so many hardships to get to where they are today. How could she be so distrustful of Zhengsheng and her own love?
Will Zhengsheng really betray himself?
She touched her face in the mirror, asking herself questions and answering them. Unfortunately, she couldn't even answer her own questions.
She was conflicted. On the one hand, she was heartbroken by Zhengsheng's betrayal; on the other hand, she was questioning whether she was really overthinking it.
Mother Wang was still muttering outside the door. Youyou couldn't hear what she was saying, and she didn't want to hear it clearly.
After a long time, she wiped the tears from her face, forced a smile, and stood up to open the door for Mother Wang.
“Huh?”
"Hey there! You finally opened the door. I was almost hoarse from talking so much."
Mother Wang said this as she squeezed into the house.
"Mom, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Mother Wang looked at Youyou's rabbit-like red eyes and knew with her toes that Youyou had just cried. But she didn't care about that. She cared about her heirloom, her Qingluan bracelet.
As the saying goes, once something is given, it can be taken away. Besides, Youyou is now the daughter-in-law of their Wang family, so she really can't bring herself to say it.
"Well..." She hesitated for a long time, with an awkward smile on her face.
"Mom, just tell me what you want to say! We are all family, there is nothing we can't talk about."
Seeing her like this, Youyou could tell that she was in trouble. For so many years, she had always said whatever she wanted to her, never considering her feelings. She suddenly became like this, and Youyou knew that this must not be a good thing.
Youyou wanted to see how much more outrageous words she could say and how much more outrageous things she could do.
"It's the Qingluan bracelet I gave you last time... Can you find it and return it to me?"
"A bracelet?... Oh, oh... I remember now. It's the heirloom you mentioned, passed down from generation to generation, not from father to daughter. Is that the Qingluan bracelet?"
When Mother Wang heard this, she nodded excitedly, "Yes, yes, that's it. Can you...can you find it...and...give it back to me?"
Youyou looked at Mother Wang in surprise. She didn't understand. It was she who had forced the gift into her hands that time, saying that she would keep it well and pass it on to her daughter or daughter-in-law in the future, and then let her children pass it on to her children, and it would be passed down from generation to generation like this.
She also said that this is not a valuable item, but it is a symbol of life, a symbol of the endless cycle of life. This small bracelet holds so much emotion.
But why, why do I suddenly want to go back?
"Mom, didn't you say you wanted me to pass it down from generation to generation? Whether it's a daughter or a daughter-in-law, it can't be lost. But... why do you want it back now?"
"Yes, I did say that..."
But haven't you ever given birth to a child for our family? If you were to pass it on, it would be gone sooner or later.
This is what Mother Wang wanted to say, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back and could only mutter to herself in her heart.
