Chapter 1542 - 1021: Hard to Let Go
She never wanted it to be like this! Yu Xiang was anxious, looking at Cong Qiuying’s sleeve pitifully: "Mom, I don’t want to marry into a poor family. I don’t need great wealth, just someone similar to our family’s situation. What would I do if you and Dad separated?"
"Back when your second sister married your second brother-in-law, our family was also poor..." Cong Qiuying sighed, patting her youngest daughter’s shoulder, "Xiangxiang, you’re already over twenty years old, you can’t always entrust your happiness to others or always hope to get something for nothing.
In this world, there’s no such thing as a free lunch. You envy your second sister for finding your second brother-in-law, but have you ever thought, if you were in your second sister’s place back then, would things have worked out with him?"
"I..." She wanted to answer stubbornly, but even she felt that answer was so fake, nobody would believe it, so Yu Xiang froze and didn’t continue.
When Yu Tao met Zhou Xikang, the Zhou family was still at a low point. Most of the time, it was Yu Tao who supported Zhou Xikang. How could she have chosen such a man?
At that time, she secretly laughed at how foolish Yu Tao was, and Yu Tao’s marriage to Zhou Xikang was opposed by the entire family back then, except for Cong Qiuying.
If it hadn’t been for the Zhou family’s sudden turnaround a month before the wedding, the Yu family wouldn’t have allowed Yu Tao’s marriage to proceed so smoothly, that’s for sure!
Now, with Cong Qiuying bringing up these old matters, the bit of compassion left on Yu Tao’s face vanished immediately. Yes, with a family like this, if she continued to be soft-hearted, she would regret it one day.
She herself could endure hardship, but if it caused trouble for the Zhou family, it would be a grave sin!
Back then, Yu Tao’s parents went to the Zhou family, pointing at Zhou Jingping and Lin Yanqiu’s noses and scolding them for not educating their child properly, saying they were toads wishing to eat swan meat.
Even though they had such a terrible attitude, the Zhou family didn’t hold a grudge and still offered them unlimited help, but what did they get in return?
So, you can’t spoil some people. If back then, she had held her ground and not let them get what they didn’t deserve, perhaps they wouldn’t be so shameless now?
Moreover, among all the mistakes, the most intolerable was that they had even tried to scheme against Zhou Xikang. She was a daughter of the Yu family, how could they think of such a disgusting idea?!
Enough, the past is the past, and it is because of these past events that she’s seen their true nature, made the correct choice, and from now on, won’t give them the chance to hurt her again!
At this moment, she’s particularly grateful for the background of the Zhou family. If she had married into just an averagely well-off family, she wouldn’t have had a peaceful life her entire life!
Thinking of this, Yu Tao looked at Cong Qiuying: "Mom, let’s go."
Cong Qiuying nodded: "Let me gather my clothes and then we’ll leave."
"Mom, don’t worry about the clothes, I’ve already prepared everything for you..." Yu Tao looked at her mother earnestly, "Don’t say words of refusal, I’m your daughter, it’s my duty to take care of you."
"I’m not refusing, it’s just that, I feel, we shouldn’t be too wasteful..." Cong Qiuying gave her a loving smile, "I understand how you feel, but some things have been with me my whole life, I just want to gather them."
Lin Yanqiu looked at Yu Tao: "Taotao, go accompany your mom, I’ll wait for you here."
So Yu Tao obediently accompanied Cong Qiuying back to the bedroom. After a moment’s hesitation, Yu Guangjiu followed them inside. Lin Yanqiu just smiled faintly, "If anyone wants to leave this house, let them go and trouble the two of them."
Yu Guangjiu stopped in his tracks, turned his head, and glared angrily at Lin Yanqiu: "You... You’re bullying people too much!"
Lin Yanqiu shrugged her shoulders at him: "Yes, I’m bullying you, so what?"
"I’m going to broadcast what you’ve done to everyone, see if you have any face left to meet people, see if the Zhou family will be accused of bullying!"
"Go ahead, I’d love for you to do that. Let’s see if people criticize our family or praise us. Don’t you know what underhanded things you’ve actually done? You have the nerve to threaten me, Yu Guangjiu, do you really think I grew up being scared?
If it weren’t for Taotao, do you think I’d let you stay in this house? You know exactly how much you’ve benefited from my daughter. If you continue acting up, deal with the consequences yourself!"
