Su Lixuan hesitated: "...Isn't it that he owes his wife and his wife's family?"
"That's right!" Lu Wanqin couldn't laugh at all now, "That's what he told me."
"He said he owed it to his wife, and asked me to be understanding and stop making trouble, and stop putting pressure on him. He asked me if I had to break up his happy family to be happy."
Every word and every sentence was like a sharp knife stabbing into Lu Wanqin's heart.
She admitted that she had a bad temper and loved to fight, but could it be that in her son's heart she was such an unreasonable, evil and mean person?
Tears welled up in Lu Wanqin's eyes again, and her voice choked with sobs: "If I had known that I would have to endure this kind of humiliation after raising my child, I would have remarried after my husband died earlier."
She is a widow. It is not easy for a widow to raise a child alone and cultivate him into a successful person. She originally thought that her hard work would be over when her child got married. But who would have thought that the child, when he grew up, did not know how to care for her as a mother as when she was a child.
Wiping away tears, Lu Wanqin couldn't help but ramble on about the past: "He was only eight or nine when his father passed away. At that time, a bunch of people came to his house, all from his father's side, hoping to wipe out the family."
"I can't help it. The child is still young, and no one believes him when he says he can support the family. They all tell me to hand over my job and my entire fortune, and whoever gets the profit will be responsible for raising the child."
"It's obvious that this is a lie. If all the benefits are taken away, who will take care of the future of us orphans and widows?"
Life was difficult back then, but no matter how difficult it was, Lu Wanqin felt that she could get through it.
She raised her hand to indicate the height: "My son was that small at the time, and only this tall. He stood in front of me, holding back tears and shouting to his uncles and aunts, asking them not to bully me."
"Even though those people lied to him and told him that if I remarried, he would lose everything and become a wild child and no one would want him, he didn't believe it and just stretched out his arms to protect me..."
Having said this, Lu Wanqin was so upset that she couldn't continue.
She really couldn't understand why her son, when he was eight or nine, knew how to trust her and protect her with all his heart, but now that he had grown up and understood things, he was even worse than when he was a child. The memory of the small figure who had protected her in the past and the tall figure who was now protecting his wife, looking at her with impatience, gradually overlapped.
Lu Wanqin couldn't even figure out what went wrong?
Is it because she didn't teach her child well?
Or was it that she had done something wrong over the years that caused the child to feel resentful and alienated from her, and that is why he started to dislike her as his mother after he got married?
Lu Wanqin stood up tiredly: "Forget it, I feel much better after telling you about my troubles. I won't bring up this trivial matter of my family and make you angry and anxious. It's not worth it."
She said this, but Li Yanhong and the other two could not find any expression of "feeling much better" on her face.
On the contrary, Lu Wanqin was so calm at this moment that it was frightening.
Li Yanhong wanted to say something but stopped herself, but Su Lixuan was more straightforward and pulled the person back!
"Aunt Lu, don't let it get to you!"
Lu Wanqin forced a smile: "No, I'm not that impulsive, I just feel that life is... really hard to bear."
"It's my good fortune. If I had died early like the one in my family, I wouldn't be so upset now."
"That's not right." Su Lixuan said seriously, "Only when you're alive can you enjoy happiness. If you're gone, everything is gone."
No one knows what the world after death is like, but the living cannot let down the "tomorrow" that so many people long for but cannot obtain.
As a junior, Su Lixuan was not in a position to tell Lu Wanqin some high-sounding principles. At this time, no matter how many high-sounding principles she said, they would be meaningless to Lu Wanqin who was in trouble.
She thought about it, her eyes lit up, and she went straight to the point: "Aunt, it's not desperate yet. I have a method. Let me see if you have tried it and whether it works..."
…
When Ye Wei led the two crying kids with red faces out of the backyard, she happened to run into Su Lixuan holding Li Yanhong with her left hand and Lu Wanqin with her right hand. The two sisters-in-law of the Lin family were joking and laughing beside them. The group walked towards the backyard in a warm and affectionate manner.
She subconsciously paused for some reason, looking at Su Lixuan, who was dressed exquisitely and looked carefree, at this moment she regretted choosing this time to bring the two children out.
She had worked all day today, and just now her sister-in-law came back and had a big fight with her mother-in-law. When they were breaking up the fight, her hair, which had been combed neatly, was messed up.
Later, the two children were so scared that they kept crying. The mother-in-law blamed her for not knowing how to take care of the children. She could only coax them to go to the grocery store and buy some candies for the two children to sweeten their mouths and coax them into good health.
Things were rushing to do and everything was in a hurry, so Ye Wei naturally had no time to take care of herself.
And now she was caught off guard and met Su Lixuan head-on. It was easy to imagine how embarrassed she must look in Su Lixuan's eyes.
Forcefully forcing a smile, Ye Wei greeted the others, "Aunt Li, Aunt Lu, did you just get back from outside?"
Li Yanhong didn't have a good impression of her and didn't even raise her eyelids when she greeted her.
Lu Wanqin didn’t care about other people’s family affairs before, and didn’t know about the conflict between Li Yanhong and Ye Wei. She just thought that the old sisters didn’t say anything because they were too lazy to talk.
With Su Lixuan's help in finding a solution to her daughter-in-law's problem, she felt much relieved. She was in a good mood right now and was not stingy with her kindness towards Ye Wei.
Smiling, he replied, "Yes, I just came back from outside. Are you taking the two children out to play?"
Ye Wei nodded shyly: "Dabao and the others said they wanted to eat something delicious, I'll take them out to buy some."
Lu Wanqin: "Tsk tsk, Guifang always says that you, as a stepmother, are not good to the child. You have been spending all day around the child. You are better to the child than those biological mothers who only care about giving birth but not raising the child."
"I'll have to have a good talk with your grandmother tomorrow. I hope she'll be content to have such a good daughter-in-law like you."
She was just indirectly criticizing her own daughter-in-law, but to Ye Wei, Lu Wanqin's words were the greatest affirmation of her!
That's right, even though she is disheveled now, she is no worse than anyone else.
On the contrary, as a mother and a daughter-in-law, she is better than many people.
Especially the person in front of me...
Ye Wei straightened her back, looked at Su Lixuan meaningfully and said, "Isn't this what I should do?"
"When I was a girl, I spent all day thinking about how to dress up and look beautiful, but after getting married, my status has changed. How can I still be selfish and only care about myself?"
"Aunt Lu, look at me. I don't even have time to get dressed. I have so many things to do at home and outside. How can I have the energy to think about those trivial things instead of focusing on the right path?"
Su Lixuan: “…”
Huh? Your status changes after you get married?
What's going on?
Is there a hidden mission after getting married? After completing the mission, you instantly become an agent?
