Chapter 731: Chapter 731 It looks like you’re in trouble Chapter 731: Chapter 731 It looks like you’re in trouble Luo Qiao looked around at the Luo family members before she finally addressed her younger cousin with a detached tone, “The Zheng family’s daughters-in-law have wronged Sister Jialin, but her in-laws haven’t treated her badly, so we can’t condemn everyone just because of them. After all, Sister Jialin can’t possibly avoid dealing with her in-laws in the future.
We are here today to seek justice for Sister Jialin, but we can’t really send her sisters-in-law to jail, or it would make it difficult for her husband and our family to get along. I’m afraid it would also create resentment and barriers between her husband and Sister Jialin, leaving them unable to live happily in the future.
I’m grateful that Sister Jialin and the children are all right. So, letting her sisters-in-law go can also be considered as accumulating blessings for the children, and to establish Sister Jialin’s authority.
But we can’t just repay evil with kindness, and straightforward revenge seems too lenient for them; hence, I’ve decided to give them a month to ‘repent’.”
Luo Jiayue, puzzled, glanced at her mother Gu Hongjuan, who stroked her daughter’s head, “What your Sister Qiaoqiao is doing, firstly, saves face for the elders of the Zheng Family, avoiding awkwardness in future interactions.
Secondly, it’s for your Sister Jialin’s reputation. If she left the hospital and went straight to another place to recover postpartum, who knows what version of the story would spread in the family compound, as people’s words are to be feared.
Even if we Luo family members can stand strong for Sister Jialin, she still has to deal with her in-laws in the future. That is something unchangeable, unless she decides to cut ties with them completely going forward, which means we wouldn’t need to consider these reputational concerns. Otherwise, we must always be mindful of her reputation.
As for the third point, I’m guessing it’s your Sister Qiaoqiao getting a bit mischievous again. Can you guess what it might be?”
Then, the other members of the Luo family laughed. Luo Qiao glanced at her youngest aunt, thinking to herself that she truly had a clear understanding, no wonder during the years her brothers were ill, the Luo family could remain harmonious.
With gratitude, Luo Qiao gave her youngest aunt a sweet smile.
Luo Jiayue shook her head, “I can’t guess.”
At this moment, her younger male cousin Luo Xufei said, “I think Sister Jialin is going to be quite blessed this month.”
Luo Qiao laughed out loud, giving her young cousin a thumbs up. Indeed, a chip off the old block, he was clever.
Luo Jiayue turned to her brother, “Brother, can you be more specific?”
Luo Xufei glanced at his mother, “Of course, it means continuing to let them agonize, making them die of jealousy.”
Luo Jiayue shouted with realization, “Oh, I know! Sister Jialin will definitely need to replenish nutrition during her confinement, and if Auntie Song Shiya goes to take care of her, she will surely make lots of delicious food. It will make them drool with envy, jealousy, and even infuriate them.”
Having said that, she laughed and gave Luo Qiao a thumbs up in return.
Luo Qiao gave her cousin a look of approval, and everyone laughed together.
The Luo family knew all of this was based on the premise that Jialin and the twins were safe. If anything had happened to any of them, the question would no longer be about forgiveness but whether they would not be forced to live in destitution.
Auntie Song Shiya directly prepared food in advance and went to the hospital, needing to switch with her son and daughter-in-law, who would later have to go to work. If they were much later, they’d be delayed.
On arriving at the hospital, she urged them to eat quickly and then head straight to work.
Luo Jialin asked her mother, “Mom, how did it go? Did they agree?”
As she served her daughter congee, Song Shiya replied, “How could they not agree? After such a big incident, the fact that we didn’t send those two careless ones to the station is already giving them great face.”
Then, Song Shiya recounted the entire event from start to finish. Luo Jialin felt relieved upon hearing the outcome. It was for the best. If they had really sent the two sisters-in-law to jail, she and her husband Zhiyuan might not live well, and the Zheng family might have resented her to death.
Now that she and her children had survived a calamity and, despite all the tribulations, had come out unhurt, those two sisters-in-law were burdened with a lifelong debt, and the Zheng family would owe her and her three children for the rest of their lives. She was content with this outcome.
When Lu Yichen and Luo Qiao, with Stone in tow, returned to the family compound, they saw quite a crowd in front of their door and heard the cries of women from inside, “I can’t live with this shame, second aunt, I don’t want to face anyone.”
Luo Qiao glanced at Lu Yichen with a hint of schadenfreude, “Looks like you’ve got trouble?”
