The original plan was to let them move here and keep Elder Wan company, but looking at the situation now, it seems inconvenient. When Wan Yuqiong makes trouble, will it embarrass Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan? Plus, Fat Auntie and Luo Gangshun will be coming as well. If they encounter Wan Yuqiong and it leaves a psychological shadow, they probably won’t want to come to A City again. One rejection after another—who could stand getting knocked back every time?
And crucially, Luo Gangshun and Fat Auntie’s main purpose for coming to A City is to meet their future daughter-in-law. Zhang Erni is already a timid girl; having her run into...
The more Chuxia thought about it, the more she felt the gravity of the problem. After some consideration, she decided to directly seek Old Master Wan’s insight. Once she shared her worries, Old Master Wan let out a heavy sigh, "Chuxia, the issues you’re thinking about are indeed problems, and I know why Wan Yuqiong has been causing such a fuss lately..." he said, looking toward Zhou Mikang, "Xiaomi, go home and discuss with your grandparents. Your family’s ancestral home has been returned. If it doesn’t work out, let your in-laws stay there. I can also go there for company when I feel lonely. That way, Wan Yuqiong can’t make trouble for them, and even if she tries when I’m not there, she can’t do anything about it. She doesn’t see clearly that the more she stirs things up, the worse things become for her."
"Alright, Grandpa Wan, there’s always been someone looking after the old house. It was actually my grandparents’ intention for my in-laws to stay there, but they were worried about leaving you alone, so they didn’t bring it up. Now I will tell them, and we can just assign a housekeeper to go there.
If you’re unhappy here, you might as well move over with Sister-in-law Yin. After all, you are Chuxia’s godfather, and in our eyes, you are her real grandfather.
It’s only natural for a grandfather to live with his granddaughter and her family. I’ve wanted to say this for a long time, but I was afraid it would make you uncomfortable, so I didn’t dare to.
"Okay, I’ll take your advice. I need to keep out of sight, and even if she hates me, I can’t indulge her whims. What happens next is up to fate," Old Master Wan said with a sigh. "If only she would listen to my advice, I wouldn’t have to take this step. But the more I ask her not to do something, the more she insists on doing it, always believing that I’m trying to harm her.
Tell me, I’m her own father, how could I possibly want to harm her? She spends all her time talking about how wonderful her husband’s family is. If her husband’s family is so great, why are they using her so ruthlessly now, pushing her into a pit of fire?"
Chuxia listened with a mix of understanding and confusion, but she could guess that it probably had something to do with choosing sides and support. She thought to herself that Wan Yuqiong was really absurd. The elders at her husband’s family are considered elders, but her own father isn’t, which is truly bizarre.
Lin Wenbin had not interrupted the conversation, but after everyone finished discussing, he let out a sigh, "Grandpa Wan, your daughter... sigh!"
Old Master Wan smiled bitterly, "You’ve been living in Capital City, so you must have heard a lot about her. It’s okay, just tell the truth. I actually want to hear what the outside world thinks of her. After all these years, we’re like strangers, and to me, my understanding of her is still stuck in her childhood. It’s not that I don’t care about her; she just doesn’t give me the chance to care. Moreover, every time I care, it inevitably leads to trouble, so it’s better to keep a distance and cause less worry."
"There isn’t much to say; I just wanted to point out that she’s really being foolish. Everyone knows that her husband’s family is nice to her because of you, but she herself is unaware.
In the past, she was hardly favored by her husband’s family. I find it strange—because you were unable to take care of her due to circumstances beyond your control, she has held a grudge against you to this day. The source of thɪs content is N()velFire.net
Whereas her in-laws, even when conditions permitted, never acknowledged her. It’s only in the past few years that they’ve started to treat her well. Why does she treat them so differently? As for your daughter, you’ve really brought her up in vain."
"Yes, raising children is a hit-or-miss affair. I’ll just have to accept it." Old Master Wan waved to Chuxia and Zhou Mikang, "Go back and rest early. Xiaomi, you have to leave early tomorrow and don’t get too tired to drive."
"Grandpa, we’ll be going then. Don’t worry too much, remember, you always have us," Chuxia comforted Old Master Wan a bit before following Zhou Mikang and leaving.
They were leaving tomorrow, and the young couple was reluctant to part, but both were too stubborn to show it.
Zhou Mikang was too embarrassed to show it.
Chuxia was unwilling to admit it.
Perhaps, having seen too many failed relationships in her later life, she was prone to unease in love, fluctuating back and forth. Sometimes, she even annoyed herself. Couldn’t she be straightforward and carefree?
