Chapter 205: Chapter 205: Not a Nemesis, but a Lucky Star_1
Liu Hehua seeing Yun’s mother not react, didn’t bother with the insults anymore, because it wasn’t worth it.
The reason why Liu Hehua was targeting Yun’s mother was because of a grudge from the past. Liu Hehua’s son liked Yun Shuang. He proposed marriage to her but was rejected by Wang Shulan. This led to a series of disputes thereafter. Even though her son had gotten married, and she had her own grandchildren, her resentment towards Wang Shulan had never changed.
Yun’s mother was preoccupied with one thing that Liu Hehua had pointed out: she was afraid that the third son was returning to demand answers.
When she first did what she did, she really wanted to get support from the eldest and second son’s families, hence, the reason for her secrecy. However, she hadn’t anticipated that the matter would be exposed. And when the third son’s wife found out, she was furious, confronted her, clashed with the families of the eldest and second sons, and eventually confirmed her real identity. Not long after, she left and moved from Qingzhao Village to the town.
If she had known that the third son would sober up so soon, she would have protected his wife.
But she didn’t know, she didn’t know in advance.
When the third son’s wife left, Yun’s mother realized how unsettling the change was. The house was suddenly quieter with fewer people. In heap of lively activity, the sudden calm was something she was not used to.
Yes, before, all the money that the third son had sent home was used by her to support the eldest and second son’s families. At that time, the third son agreed, she thought they were all family, and she had no intention of nitpicking over those matters.
But she never expected that just as the third son fell, the eldest and the second son would be so merciless.
“Shulan, don’t cry anymore. You should go home and see. Maybe your third son won’t act like Hehua said he would?” A woman, who usually had a good relationship with Yun’s mother, seeing her eyes filled with tears, suddenly felt her heart soften and tried to console her.
But she knew the truth. If the third son’s wife had truly been understanding, how could she have left? It was because there was a biased mother-in-law at home. She had to take care of the children, her husband, and also do all the household chores. How could she manage all that?
Ever since the third son’s wife left, Shulan felt uneasy. People develop habits overtime. When the wife was around, she was such a hardworking person, adept at managing both household affairs and outside work. But once she left, Shulan, being accustomed to her help, started to feel uncomfortable and even complained in front of her.
She also had a daughter-in-law and a daughter and had already separated the families. If her daughter-in-law came to help with a bit of work, she would be overjoyed. But for Shulan, whom she hadn’t thought of as such a person, it was unclear what had happened to her to have become such a resentful person.
“My third son takes his wife very seriously. Knowing these matters, I fear that today he came back to clear things up.”
That was what Yun’s mother feared, afraid that her third son would declare that from then on, he had nothing to do with the Yun family, only a son-in-law from the Zhao family, and that he agreed to the marriage only under duress.
“Knowing at the time, why did you do it? Among all your daughters-in-law, it’s only the third son’s wife who’s the best to you, sigh…”
Yun’s mother was sitting there in a daze.
The news of the third son of the Yun family returning with his wife and children reached Yun Hai and their ears, and even Yun’s father came to know. He was even teased about it.
“Your third son woke up, truly congratulations. Even the living dead can wake up. Seems like your son Xiaohu is not a scourge, but a blessing.”
