Lin Xia and the others returned from attending Lin Qiu’s wedding out of town, and just three days later, Shao irou heard about Hua Yongbing’s mother’s passing.
Shao irou was worried that if her father heard the news, he would feel upset and might have so bad associations, so she didn’t dare to ntion it in front of Shao Chengzhi.
She could only wait until Lin Xia ca back, then sigh about it a few tis while they were in the room changing the children’s clothes.
"...You know, people all die eventually, it’s just a matter of ti. But when it’s your own family, it’s hard for anyone to bear."
Shao irou had known Hua Yongbing for many years. If there hadn’t been so many complicated entanglents between their families, she would have attended his mother’s funeral.
Lin Xia could deeply understand the pain of losing a loved one, "Yes! When my mom passed away, my siblings and I couldn’t get over it for a long ti! At ho, we always felt like our mom was still working in the kitchen."
Shao irou patted Lin Xia on the back, also feeling sentintal, "I know how you feel. When Xiaozheng’s grandmother passed away, your aunt and I cried until our eyes couldn’t open!
All these years, it’s always felt like there’s a piece missing in my heart."
Lin Xia nodded sadly, " too! Sotis I think, how wonderful it would be if my mother were still alive; we could all show our filial piety."
As she spoke, her eyes welled with tears. At her sister’s wedding, their grandfather and all the siblings felt a pang of regret, but nobody said anything since it was a joyous day.
Shao irou comforted her, "Lin Xia! Don’t dwell on this. Good people are rewarded; Heaven won’t be so unfair! Your mother has probably already reincarnated into a good family!"
Though she didn’t know much about Lin Xia’s mother’s story, Shao irou could sense sothing from seeing Lin Aiguo and the behavior of those in their family.
If she weren’t a strong person, she would surely have been bullied and tornted.
"I hope so too. My mother lived such a hard life; it would be nice if she could be reborn into a good family!" What her mother-in-law said echoed Lin Xia’s thoughts; she had always hoped for this.
Shao irou spoke with conviction, "She will be! Actually, we’re all heading towards death from the mont we’re born. Life is better if we live it openly. There’s nothing worth getting too stuck on. I’ve truly co to understand this now!"
Lin Xia admired her mother-in-law’s current state of mind. She was completely different from the Shao irou she first t.
Maybe it was because her father-in-law had returned to the family and treated her mother-in-law very well, and also took care of Jingjing and Keke every day, which made her mother-in-law’s life fulfilling and happy, changing her mindset.
"Mom! What you said is so philosophical! I should learn from your attitude!"
Shao irou smiled gently, "Learn it! I’ve only co to this understanding in the past two years!"
She had been entangled with Lu Pengcheng for most of her life. At a ti when she felt there was no hope left in her life, Lu Pengcheng suddenly changed because of so incident.
Though they were an old couple, they were living happily and sweetly, sothing she never dared to believe would happen.
She felt that won are emotional beings; when they feel happy, they tend not to nitpick over little things.
The two chatted and laughed for a while. Then Shao irou asked casually, "Lin Xia! Has your uncle been to your factory these past few days?"
Her brother had gone with them to attend the wedding and then disappeared without a trace for several days.
She hadn’t had the nerve to pester her daughter-in-law right away, but feeling the conversation was going well, she naturally inquired.
This ti, Lin Xia didn’t have to hide anything from her mother-in-law and told her straightforwardly, "Yes, he did!"
Shao irou’s eyes flashed. She quickly asked, "How did Liang Wei and her son treat your uncle?"
"Sister Liang was very polite to him. When he arrived at the factory, she went to work in the workshop to avoid him.
Wenfeng was quite cold towards him, didn’t talk to him, and went straight to his room after school. He’s probably still mad at him..." Lin Xia reported concisely to Shao irou.
Shao irou was secretly pleased. As long as Liang Wei continued to disagree with being together with her little brother, the year would pass by quickly, and she wondered what he could say then.
Although her father had agreed to give Shao Xingbang a year’s ti and warned them not to interfere, Shao irou had outwardly agreed, but deep down she was still unwilling.
In her opinion, her brother could do better than to end up with a widow with a child even if he closed his eyes and picked.
Shao irou’s thoughts were mirroring those of soone else.
Ji Man had co to complain to Shao irou, not feeling like it made much impact at the ti.
She was feeling frustrated when she heard by chance that Shao Xingbang would no longer associate with the widow and her son.
Just as Ji Man was overjoyed and ready to try and win Shao Xingbang back,
she discovered Shao Xingbang’s car once again parked at Lin Xia’s factory entrance.
Shao Xingbang was even shalessly apologizing to that widowed woman and her child, driving after them.
This unbearable scene struck her like lightning.
Ji Man thought that being an unmarried, pure maiden would naturally outshine the widow.
Anyone would think Shao Xingbang was insane, chasing after a widow instead of a young maiden.
But Shao Xingbang didn’t see it that way.
Ji Man grew to hate Shao Xingbang for it!
Of course, she hated the widow more for shalessly bewitching Shao Xingbang, making him care about nothing else.
She vowed to heavily retaliate against this shaless widow!
Ji Man decided without hesitation to target the widow’s son, aiming to make the widow regret seducing Shao Xingbang...
That day, school ended earlier than usual for Cheng Wenfeng.
He stood by the school building’s entrance with his backpack, watching the students pass by with an idea forming in his mind.
He felt he was too old to need daily pick-up and drop-off.
Since the school was close to the factory, he thought he might as well walk back, saving Uncle Wu from having to drop his tasks.
Cheng Wenfeng joined the crowd and exited the school, walking quickly towards the factory.
But he was stopped by two tall guys before reaching the next intersection.
One, undergoing a voice change, bellowed, "Stop right there!"
The other one angrily ran up and grabbed Cheng Wenfeng’s coat collar from behind when he didn’t listen, "We’re talking to you! Are you deaf?"
Cheng Wenfeng regretted not staying at school to wait for Uncle Wu, but it was too late now; he was caught.
Trying to stay calm, he asked, "What do you want?"
"What do we want?" They exchanged a sinister look, "It’s not convenient to talk here, let’s go over there!"
"I’m not going! I...mm..." Cheng Wenfeng’s mouth was covered, and he was forcibly dragged into a nearby alley...
