Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander-Chapter 506 - 348 Persuasion

Zhao Yulan was gluing a matchbox, her mouth had never stopped moving, and the more she thought about it, the happier she became. She couldn’t help but nudge Lin Baohe, "Baohe, we are really blessed."

"Indeed." Lin Baohe smiled contentedly, "Our daughter is filial, our son-in-law is filial; isn’t that a blessing?"

"Exactly, just think about when Xia Gang was born, he was just a tiny thing, crying weakly like a little kitten. Aunt Zhong used to say Xia Gang couldn’t be raised easily, looking at his face, he seemed to be a child without blessings, saying her Zhong Hongying was so much better.

But what now? Where isn’t our Xia better than her Zhong Hongying? Whether it’s about work or the marriage prospects, can she compare? I’ll see if she ever dares to badmouth our Xia in front of me again, people really do get their comeuppance!"

"Look at you..." Lin Baohe hurriedly patted his wife’s back, "It’s not good for you to be like this. Our daughter’s fortune is our fortune; why do you care about whether Zhong Hongying is fortunate or not?"

"Can’t I get angry? She constantly spreads bad rumors about our Xia in the village. Do you think I don’t know? She tears others down when they can’t fight back because she thinks we are too honest.

My heart has been holding a grudge, you know. I say it’s her fault, teaching Zhong Hongying wrong, actually, when that girl was little, she was capable and sensible, not like now, so mercenary!"

"Ah!" Lin Baohe sighed, "That child has been spoiled by her mother. If the parents are not good, the child is really unlucky.

When we go back, if Aunt Zhong finds out what’s going on, she will definitely come to us for help. Then, we must not agree. We can’t make things difficult for Xia."

"You don’t need to tell me; I’m not stupid." Zhao Yulan glared at her husband, "Do you think I would show off Xia’s capabilities so easily, agreeing to everything? Do you think I’m foolish? The capable one is our son-in-law, I can’t make things difficult for our daughter.

When the day comes that our daughter is capable, I won’t be hiding her light under a bushel anymore. I’ll show them that our daughter is blessed by her own abilities, blessing us in return!"

Lin Baohe thought for a moment, then said, "I think we shouldn’t always talk about her achieving great things in front of our daughter. We can’t pressure her, driving her to a breakdown, with no place for us to regret it, right?"

"What?" Stunned, Zhao Yulan patted her chest in hindsight, "It’s good you reminded me. I was planning to nag at Xia again when we leave.

Ah, people really forget their pains once their wounds heal. Remember when Xia was immature, when did we dare to pressure her to achieve? Now that we see her succeeding, we press her every day. What if we pressure her back into being unambitious, what would we do then?"

Lin Baohe sighed, "Exactly, we’ve both been a bit mad lately. Later, let’s have a good talk with her, tell her not to rush, even if she’s not successful, we’ve arranged things well back home to stay with her, living with Uncle Wan, gluing matchboxes, it’s not like we’re free-loaders."

"Right, let’s talk with her tonight." freewebnøvel_com

"Let’s hold off for tonight. Xiaomi is leaving for a business trip tomorrow. Let the kids spend some quality time together. I heard this business trip is quite long, and they won’t have many days together, so let them make the most of it. We shouldn’t add to their troubles."

"Business trip?" Zhao Yulan suddenly slapped her forehead, "Right, Xia mentioned that Xiaomi is going on a business trip. I... I was so oblivious. Do you think Xiaomi might feel like I, as his mother-in-law, don’t care about him? Oh dear, oh dear..." Zhao Yulan, slapping her knee, looked utterly frustrated.

"Alright, alright..." Lin Baohe quickly comforted his wife, "Xiaomi is easy-going; he won’t be so petty. When they come over tonight, be extra caring. Let them go home early to rest, and tomorrow morning, make some of your scallion pancakes for him; Xiaomi loves your scallion pancakes. Make extra and pack some for him."

"Will that work?"

"Definitely will!"

"What are you talking about? It’s so lively here?" Old Master Wan, who had just woken up from a nap, came over smiling, "When you’re old, you just can’t keep up. Without a nap, I have no energy."

"You’re an educated man; you can’t compare yourself with us rough folks..." Zhao Yulan said while standing up to make honey water for the old man. Lin Baohe continued responding to the old man’s question, "Uncle Wan, Yulan was somewhat muddled at noon, she didn’t quite understand that Xiaomi is going on a business trip, and now she regrets it. I thought Xiaomi really enjoys her scallion pancakes, so she’s planning to make some tomorrow morning and let Xiaomi take them along, as a kind gesture."

Carrying the water, Zhao Yulan continued with a troubled expression: "Uncle Wan, I was so muddled. At the time, I only thought about not taking those things from the Zhou family back home, and my mind just didn’t turn around. Then later talking about it just made me forget. This makes it look like I don’t consider him as my own child. If Xia was going on a business trip, could I have forgotten?"
