Chapter 89: Regretting to the Point of Green Guts
Uncle Guai came over again with his ox cart, but this time he brought his wife, Zhu Juying. She was feeling so uncomfortable at home, even lying on the kang she felt terribly uneasy. Their family had been through a tough year, with the daughter-in-law constantly causing trouble, and Juying felt suffocated stepping out of her room.
"You tell me what’s this all about, Xiao Meng is such a good person, and Changzhu must be out of his mind, coming to hit his daughter-in-law. Look at the state he’s put the child in, rushing to the county hospital late at night. What if something serious happens?"
While saying this, Uncle Guai nudged Zhu Juying with his elbow, who, despite being upset about her own family’s misfortunes, immediately caught onto her husband’s point.
"Indeed, why can’t they just live peacefully? Whether they’re separated or not, let the couple live their life as they please. Why do you have to intervene? At your age, you should be wise enough, almost half in the grave, and still you meddle in your son and daughter-in-law’s life. What, you can’t stand seeing them have a good life because you suffered in the past? What kind of logic is that? If anything happens to Xiao Meng, you’ll be the worst father-in-law. Soon your son and grandson will hate you, and when you die, you won’t even have anyone to hold your memorial banner."
Uncle Guai: "...."
It felt like the criticism wasn’t aimed at Changzhu, but at their own in-laws!!!
"Keep it down, Juying, it’s getting dark but people haven’t gone to sleep yet. We’re speaking so loudly, they can hear us. Besides, Changzhu and I are close as brothers, we shouldn’t speak so rudely about family, it makes it awkward to face each other later."
"If you’re afraid of hearing harsh words, then don’t act so disgracefully. They’re already separated, so why control how they live their life? Even if the tile factory shares haven’t been given to the parental home, do you think you’ll get your hands on them? Isn’t this just causing trouble? And about this matter, I’ve been thinking and I just don’t know who this meddling loudmouth is, spreading things around. Isn’t this harming people?"
