Chapter 1067

"Dad..." Wan Yuqiong painfully tugged at her hair, "I didn’t treat Yanyan well before, and now I need to compensate her doubly, I can’t let her marry into such a family and suffer..."

"Are you against Yanyan and Ji Gang being together because Ji Gang is like Qian Aimin, or is it because the family’s background is too different from ours?" Old Master Wan looked at her seriously, "If it’s the former, we can observe for a while. If it’s the latter, as I said, we can help them.

Actually, I think the most important thing right now is for you to have a calm heart about this matter, let Ji Gang come over more often, and spend more time with Yanyan and us.

If this kid is truly reliable, then agree to their marriage and help arrange it well. But if he’s pretending, or if there are factors we’re worried about, let Yanyan see it with her own eyes, so she can let go.

If you keep blocking it, it will only make Yanyan have a rebellious mentality and only see the good in Ji Gang. In this way, whether or not she ends up marrying Ji Gang, she may not be happy."

"Yuqiong, I think Uncle Wan is right. Now Yanyan has gone to see them off, and I’ll be honest with you, I came over today shamelessly because Yanyan asked me to come help.

She’s afraid you’ll lose control of your emotions and embarrass everyone. From this point, you can see she’s really fallen for this Ji Gang.

We’ve all been young, we should understand the thoughts of the children now. If you don’t adjust yourself, you’ll only become more disappointed.

Do you feel now, raising a daughter to this point was for nothing, she’s not even married yet, and she’s already so concerned about pleasing her husband’s family. Once she’s married, do you, as her mother, have any place in her heart?

The more you think like this, the more unbalanced you feel, the more you want to intervene. If Yanyan didn’t care so much about Ji Gang, your opposition might be less, right?"

Wan Yuqiong suddenly looked up, staring at Fat Auntie in surprise, "You... did you ever think like this back then?"

"Of course, I’m also a mother. Even if I know the husband’s family my daughter chose is excellent, my heart still ached terribly when she got married, especially since she didn’t discuss with us and decided on the wedding date herself..." Fat Auntie glanced at her daughter sitting leisurely nearby, continuing, "You have no idea how I felt. If she were in front of me then, I could have strangled her half to death.

But once that period was over, things got better. Looking back, whether daughters marry early or late, they have to marry eventually. Even if she marries later, she won’t live with us. Honestly, married or not, there’s not much difference.

Now when her dad and I want to see her, we just go visit her. The Zhao’s side is familiar and generous, it feels no different from before she got married.

So if you take my advice, observe the elders of the Ji family more, it doesn’t matter if they’re rich or poor, what’s important is not to always think of taking advantage. If you really become in-laws with people like that, it’ll be exhausting."

"Sigh..." Wan Yuqiong sighed heavily. These days, she’s been feeling blocked, trying hard to talk herself through it but couldn’t find a solution.

On one hand, she’s worried Ji Gang might be like Qian Aimin in the past, on the other hand, she’s concerned about the Ji family’s relationships, Father Ji and Mother Ji are ordinary workers, quite honest, but Ji Gang’s little aunt is hard to deal with.

Unfortunately, Ji Gang’s grandparents dote on their little daughter. If her own daughter really marries there, they could help if things aren’t smooth, but if it includes helping Ji Gang’s little aunt, why should they?

If it just involved some financial help, she might tolerate it, but from the information she’s received, this little aunt always demands a share of whatever’s available in the Ji family. If she gets slightly less, she throws a tantrum, and she especially loves picking faults.

Now her daughter isn’t even married yet, but the little aunt is spreading the word that her nephew is a great match, saying a rich man’s daughter is crying to marry into the Ji family, claiming it doesn’t matter if they’re rich or not, the rules of the Ji family must be followed once she’s in.

She’s told her father and daughter’s about this, but their opinion is that, no matter what, the little aunt is an outsider, as long as the Ji family understands, it won’t be an issue.

How could it not be an issue?

When she married into the Qian family before, she understood the power of outsiders.

Once or twice you might ignore her words, but over time, the Ji family would surely be influenced by that little aunt, and in turn, have more opinions about her own daughter.

She didn’t care enough for her daughter before, now when she wants to make up for it with all her might, how can she bear to send her daughter into such a family to suffer?

But none of this, no one understands!

Qian Yan said she went out to see off the Ji family, but it’s been an hour and she hasn’t come back. Wan Yuqiong’s face looked even worse. Her daughter was clearly trying to embarrass her.

Her opinion was already so clear, yet her daughter still put the Ji family on a pedestal. How could the Ji family take her seriously? How would they take Qian Yan seriously in the future?

This daughter who doesn’t improve!

"Mom, were you really reluctant when I got married?" Suddenly, Luo Xiaoqiong looked at Fat Auntie and asked, and Fat Auntie rolled her eyes at her, "What do you think? Mom raised you so big, and you didn’t even discuss it, just made your own decision. That’s so heartless!

Not to mention Mom, even your dad was. The night we got your call, your dad smoked half the night, not because he was worried the Zhao family wouldn’t treat you well, but because he felt once his daughter got married, there was a barrier between them, and it felt hard in his heart!"

"Aren’t you overthinking this?" Luo Xiaoqiong pouted, "Actually, once a daughter gets married, she’s still close to her own parents, there’s no barrier at all.

Just like recently when my mother-in-law was here to take care of me, there were some things I felt embarrassed to say, so she got tired and I got tired. Now that Mom’s here, I feel completely relaxed.

So, whether a daughter marries or not, the closest are always the parents. If you’re conflicted about these things, it’s really unnecessary. If you don’t believe me, ask Chuxia, she’ll surely feel the same way."

"Do you even need to say that?" Fat Auntie rolled her eyes at her daughter, "You don’t need to say it, even I, your mom, am closer to your maternal grandparents than to your paternal grandparents.

However, there’s a premise; your paternal grandparents were always unfriendly to our family, so Mom naturally couldn’t get close to them. Your father-in-law and mother-in-law are understanding people, and you’ll surely become close to them in the future.

Now, you just haven’t spent enough time together, so you’re still a bit tentative, which makes everyone feel tired. After a few years, you might be closer to your mother-in-law than to me."

"Mom, does it make sense to worry about these things when you’re idle?" Luo Xiaoqiong looked at her own mother with exasperation and shook her head, then turned to Wan Yuqiong, "Aunt Wan, now you understand why you’re feeling down, don’t you?

I was far from my mom, and she handled some things without letting me see it. Otherwise, we’d get so stuck. You have to trust Yanyan’s judgment.

If Ji Gang wasn’t someone worth entrusting for life, she’d surely see it. If it’s meant to be her real partner, then it’s pointless for you to stop it, right? So use my mom as an example to kindly counsel yourself.

Look at yourself now, Grandpa Wan is very worried, Yanyan is also very worried. They’re the ones who love you the most, the closest to you. Can you really bear them being so conflicted all the time?"

"You and your mom sure know how to persuade people in a roundabout way..." Wan Yuqiong smiled and shook her head, "Alright, I’ll work hard to console myself. Actually, I’ve been reflecting; maybe it’s because her dad passed away so suddenly, I lack a sense of security and I’ve been holding on too tightly to the siblings. The kids have grown up, and they’ll have their own lives. I need to learn to let go, or one day the kids will see me as an enemy."

"They won’t see you as an enemy, but just feeling tired for a period is possible..." Chuxia glanced at the time, stood up smiling, "I have class this afternoon, so I’m leaving now."

"I’m leaving too." Luo Xiaoqiong quickly stood up.

Fat Auntie also stood up: "I’ve been here for almost a day, let’s head back with them, Yuqiong, if you’re feeling agitated, come with us and hang out."

"Yeah..." Luo Xiaoqiong suddenly smacked her forehead, "Aunt Wan, if you see Nannan and Beibei, all your worries will surely vanish. Those little ones are getting more beautiful and more fun by the day. I can’t wait for my own baby to come out now. If you see them, you’ll surely wish Yanyan would quickly give you a big grandchild to hold."

Wan Yuqiong nodded in agreement: "Alright, I’ll tidy up at home and come over."

When Chuxia came back in the afternoon to feed Nannan and Beibei, Wan Yuqiong was sitting in the hall chatting with Old Lady Zhao, Zhao Yulan, Fat Auntie, Sister-in-law Yin, and Elder Aunt Qi. From her expression, she seemed noticeably more relaxed.

"By the way, Ji Gang’s mom is actually Zhu Jianwen’s aunt; she looks a lot like Zhu Jianwen’s mom." When she hurriedly returned at noon for school, Chuxia hadn’t reported this news to her elders, so she quickly mentioned it now.

"Really?" Zhao Yulan’s face was full of surprise, "That’s quite a coincidence. If it really works out, it would even still be a familial tie. But..." She frowned suspiciously, "It seems like Zhu Jianwen’s mom didn’t tell her family about Zhu Jianwen’s background, otherwise they wouldn’t stay quiet..." (To be continued.
