Chapter 306: Going to Kyoto
Xiaohui’s shameful actions have now made our family the laughing stock of everyone. The reputation that my elder brother had earned through his hard work and persistence has been completely ruined by Xiaohui.
Every time I think about Xiaohui eloping and secretly getting a marriage certificate with someone, I tremble with anger.
Tong Yao softly said, "Mom might be feeling sorry for Xiaohui! I’m not sure. She’s now asking me to find a house. I can’t dodge this anymore. I’ll discuss it with your brother tonight to see what he thinks."
Zhang Lijuan, who was listening to their conversation, chimed in, "Our mom is doing this on purpose, right? She knows I’m about to give birth and I need someone with me, and Boyi needs to manage the milk tea shop. But she insists on going to Kyoto. It’s clear that a daughter-in-law can’t rival her own daughter’s love. Xiaohui has uncles and aunts there, what’s the point in her going there?"
Everyone seems eager to visit their house. Aren’t they afraid of being burdensome?
Si Boyi listened to Zhang Lijuan’s complaints without saying a word. Even he felt that it was inappropriate for his mother to go to Kyoto at this point. Zhang Lijuan had been gaining weight heavily recently and couldn’t sleep well at night. She was panting while walking and needed someone to accompany her.
Tong Yao faintly heard Zhang Lijuan’s words, and suggested, "Let’s do this! You guys should call back home and persuade mom. I’ll talk to Ahchen tonight to see what he thinks."
"Okay."
Si Boyi also felt there was no other option. If his elder brother agreed that their mother should go, he would have nothing to say. He could only persuade his mother to return soon, without staying in Kyoto too long.
She should at least return before Zhang Lijuan gives birth.
