The mother and daughter's conversation broke down, and they were both unhappy with each other. In the end, they stopped talking until they arrived at Old Sun's courtyard.
Zhao Ruxin, sitting in the courtyard, felt a pang of bitterness as she looked at Xiao Lei. Back then, she had clearly fallen for Xiao Lei first, but in the end, Zhao Xiaoyu got the better deal.
Is she just blind?
Who would have thought he would end up like this?
No, if it weren't for his third uncle's willingness to spend money on him, he wouldn't have achieved what he has today. During his early education, he was taught by an excellent tutor hired from the prefectural city, and later, when he went to the prefectural city, he spent even more money every day.
I heard that he spends nearly two hundred taels of silver a year just on his studies. And look at his clothes, any outfit would easily cost several dozen taels. Even if she had chosen him back then, she might not be living a happy life now.
It wasn't that Xiao Lei was particularly capable, but rather that he had a father-in-law who was willing to support him.
No matter how talented a person is, they still need to be nurtured.
Zhao Ruxin resolved her inner conflict, but unfortunately, she lacked some of the strength she had gained.
It's true that he's taller, more handsome, and younger than her man. If she didn't have to bring him along, she really wouldn't want to stand next to him on ordinary days.
He's so old and timid, he looks even older than his father.
I haven't let him into the house for over a month now. It's just too dirty; he smells terrible.
Zhao Ruxin looked at him from left to right, and no matter how she looked at him, she felt that her man was a terrible person.
I really want to kick him out.
"Big cousin, you're here really early."
"I'm missing milk, so I have to come early."
As he spoke, his eyes remained fixed on the child at Zhao Zhaodi's feet.
Everyone was used to it; the whole village knew that the child had become the eldest cousin's obsession. She longed for the child terribly, but could not have it.
Who can we blame?
I heard that everything she did back then was voluntary.
Zhao Zhaodi instinctively pulled the child behind her, while Zhao Ruxin's face darkened.
The man beside her looked very awkward, standing in the courtyard looking completely lost.
Mrs. Wang shook her head. Her daughter was right to complain; her husband was a good-for-nothing, utterly useless. Their family was incredibly lucky to have married Ru Xin.
After Zhao Xiaoyu got out of the car, she followed Xiao Lei and the child to the main room. She didn't understand why everyone liked to stand in the courtyard in the cold wind. They didn't seem to be dressed very warmly.
After they went in, the others followed into the main room.
This was the first time Zhao Ruxin's husband had seen Zhao Dashu's family, and he was a little stunned.
Master Zhao was truly imposing, even more so than his father-in-law; he dared not look at him a second time. As for the scholar, he exuded authority without even raising his voice, and he too dared not approach him.
The only people he dared to glance at more than a few times were his wife's cousin and her aunt. Were Master Zhao and his wife about the same age as him? They looked so young and beautiful. You could tell at a glance that they took very good care of themselves. They were just like the noble ladies you might see by chance in the county town.
Then look at his wife's cousin, she's a real beauty, much prettier than his wife, with fair and rosy skin, without a trace of winter chapped skin.
He couldn't help but glance at her a few more times. He used to think his wife was exceptionally beautiful, but now he realized there were even more beautiful women out there. Although his wife wasn't bad-looking when she married him, compared to the wife of the scholar, the difference in beauty was immediately apparent.
They are vastly different in both appearance and temperament.
The old man lowered his eyes, not daring to look at her any longer. How could a rich man's wife not be beautiful? She was the wife of a scholar, how could she compare to them, commoners?
After being married for several years, this was the first time I met Uncle Zhao's family. To be honest, they didn't look like they came from the village at all.
I used to think my parents-in-law had a great temperament, but now I know what true elegance is. The two families are incomparable.
