Mr. and Mrs. Chen were deeply saddened when they learned that their son-in-law was leaving with their daughter.
But they also knew that their daughter and son-in-law were going back to Kyoto, which was a relatively smooth route for the children.
They watched as the children left the elderly couple and returned to the village.
I hope they will have a chance to meet soon, though I know it's unlikely.
They never imagined that they would return to Kyoto in less than seven or eight years.
Ouyang Zhenyu then called the old man to tell him that he wanted to return to Kyoto.
Without saying a word, the old man immediately forced his eldest son to find a way to help.
His son wanted to come back to him, which was wonderful news. He had been looking forward to his three children returning.
Upon hearing the message from the old man, Ouyang immediately made a phone call.
His wife saw him come out of the study and asked quietly.
"What did Dad tell you? Why are you being so secretive?"
"Of course, it's about Zhenyu coming back."
He usually didn't hide anything from his wife, but upon hearing this, her face darkened.
"Are you going to help Zhenyu get him transferred back? Have you thought it through?"
When Ouyang the eldest noticed that his wife seemed upset, he pulled her to the sofa next to him.
The two sat facing each other, and he poured his wife a cup of tea and handed it to her.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you so unhappy today when we mentioned bringing Zhenyu back?"
A while ago you said that if Zhenyu came back, he would be our family's right-hand man.
With Zhenyu's help, our family will go even further. Why are you unhappy now?
The wife sighed.
“A while ago I thought that if Zhenyu were transferred back, it would be helpful to the family.”
But you should also know that if Zhenyu is really transferred back, as the hospital director, he will not only have to give up his personal resources, but also how much effort you would have to put in to get him back to be the director of another hospital.
Just think about how many more people you'll offend!
How many people are behind someone who can become the president of a hospital?
You are at a crucial moment for promotion.
You need to understand that the year-end assessment will take place, and you're already too busy with your own affairs to handle everything, plus you have to help your younger brother.
Moreover, your younger brother has never helped the family at all over the years.
He's supposed to be your brother, but only the old folks have done anything for him. Who has he ever done anything for?
Back in this house, all I did was take advantage of the situation and not lift a finger.
I called him a couple of days ago, hoping he could let a patient skip the queue.
This would normally be an easy task for him.
The other person is your boss's father; the old man has a heart condition.
He wants your brother to have the surgery. If Ouyang Zhenyu agrees to perform the surgery, wouldn't that take your relationship with your boss to the next level? With his recommendation, your promotion will be a breeze.
But what did Ouyang Zhenyu say?
He refused outright, saying that everyone has the same rights.
Patients treated by him were not distinguished by their social status or wealth.
You have to wait in line to see a doctor.
You have no idea how angry I was back then. I'm his sister-in-law, and he treated me like that?
Why would I want him to come back now?
He might as well stay there with his wife and kids for the rest of his life, since Mom's heart is always with him anyway.
If he doesn't come back, the old man and woman will stay in the Northwest, and we'll have an easier time here.
If he comes back, who knows what the old lady and old man might do for him.
It won't be good for our child either; you know our eldest son is getting married soon.
The woman's family was just asking around a while ago if our family had connections at the hospital.
I guess they heard some rumors.
Knowing Ouyang Zhenyu's personality, I could only tell people that I didn't know anyone in this field.
Actually, you know yourself that if you really get to know him and he rejects you, it wouldn't look good for the two families to meet as in-laws.
"In my opinion, we should not get involved in this matter and let Ouyang Zhenyu handle it himself."
He got back on his own merits; that's his own ability. Otherwise, why would he want to take advantage of the family's resources without contributing anything?
With a loud crash, the teacup on the table almost jumped up and fell onto the coffee table.
The eldest son's wife was startled and looked at her husband with some surprise.
My husband has been mild-tempered and easy to talk to over the years. He consults with me on many things, and the two of us have never argued or had a fight.
"What are you doing?"
"How dare you ask me what I'm doing?"
You are the eldest sister-in-law in this family.
Don't you know why Zhenyu has become like this in this family?
The reason why my parents cherish Zhenyu so much is because he had been lost for over 20 years.
After finally finding this child, what's wrong with the parents wanting to make up for it by giving their younger brother more compensation?
How come my parents have become heinous criminals in your mouth?
None of my parents cared about any of my brothers.
Even everything I enjoy wasn't paved by the old folks, but in your mouth, only Ouyang Zhenyu benefits.
What are you trying to say?
Are you saying that if my brother doesn't serve me or pave the way for me, then he doesn't deserve to be my brother and should suffer?
If that's the case, then why should your brother get any benefits from me?
Your brother's and your brother's jobs were all thanks to my connections. Why didn't you say it was a burden back then?
Back then, you didn't say anything about how I could get any advantage from your brothers.
Your double standards are too severe. How come your brother-in-law isn't human, but your brother-in-law and brother-in-law are all human?
I wouldn't say anything if you visited your parents' home more often, but now you're having these kinds of thoughts.
"You should reflect on your actions properly. I'm telling you, there are some things I could turn a blind eye to in the past, but that doesn't mean I'm blind."
"When it comes to the eldest son's marriage, people say that men should marry down and women should marry up. The son should find a family with slightly lower or similar financial conditions than ours."
But you insist on climbing the social ladder, and once you've climbed that ladder, you can't meet the demands people make.
Now they're blaming my brother.
Let me tell you, if you bring up these things again and try to cause trouble here, don't blame me for being ruthless.
Ouyang fell down, and his wife turned and left.
When Sister-in-law Ouyang saw her husband give her the cold shoulder for the first time, she was so shocked that she didn't react for a long time.
She felt incredibly wronged.
Over the years, my husband and I have lived in harmony and never argued about raising our children or working. Even though I have sacrificed more for my family, my husband has never said anything.
But today, the two of them had such a big conflict over Ouyang Zhenyu.
