Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Luo Ziyang received Luo Cheng’s pigeon letter and learned that his brother and his wife were already on their way back, he immediately shared this good news with the Li family happily.
However, as soon as he reached the Li family’s house, he heard an argument coming from inside.
If one listened carefully, one would find out that Zhao Xiu and Li Xiaoqing were quarreling.
What was going on? Didn’t the mother and daughter usually get along well? Why were they arguing now?
With this question in mind, Luo Ziyang knocked on the Li family’s door.
“Father, Mother, Sister Xiao Qing, open the door quickly. I have good news for you guys!”
The argument inside stopped. Soon, Li Xiaoqing came out angrily and opened the door.
Luo Ziyang lowered his voice and asked, “What’s wrong? Why are you arguing with her?”
Li Xiaoqing didn’t intend to hide anything, so she told them what had happened.
Li Xiaoqing said angrily, “I’m angry at my mother. There are some things that she shouldn’t interfere in! Now, she offended both sides! Back then, I said that Grandpa and Grandma will handle Uncle’s matter themselves. She’s a married woman, so why is she interfering?!”
“You can’t speak to your mother in such a tone! I don’t think your mother is an unreasonable person!” Luo Ziyang said softly, “Think about it, She’s already very sad. If you don’t stand on her side, won’t she feel even worse?”
After being reminded by Luo Ziyang, Li Xiaoqing realized the mistake she had made and lowered her head.
Luo Ziyang couldn’t bear to see Li Xiaoqing like this, so he reached out and natted her head.
“Brother Zi Yang knows your personality, but you should be as gentle as possible when facing your family!”
When Li Xiaoqing heard Luo Ziyang’s words, tears fell from her eyes.
“Brother Zi Yang, after my sister left, I realized how worried my sister was and how much she had suffered. I’m not capable of running the shop and letting everyone at home live a fulfilling and happy life at the same time. I also know that I’m in the wrong, but I just can’t suppress my anger!”
When Luo Ziyang saw Li Xiaoqing like this, he knew that this girl must have given herself too much pressure.
“Don’t be like this. Don’t shoulder everything yourself. This isn’t something you should bear! Home is called home because everyone who lives in this family works hard. Only then can our lives get better and better! Don’t you understand?”
Li Xiaoqing nodded when she heard Luo Ziyang’s words.
“Brother Ziyyang, I understand!”
As they spoke, the two of them arrived at the main hall.
Zhao Xiu also had a sad expression, but when she saw Luo Ziyang come in, she forced herself to perk up.
“Zi Yan, you said that you have good news for us. What good news is it?”
Luo Ziyang thought of something and said happily, “Father, Mother, I just received a pigeon letter from my brothers. They said that he and Madam are already on the way back to Hele Village from the capital. In a few days, we’ll be able to see them!”
It had to be said that this was really good news!
Ever since Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran left, they felt that the family had been missing two pillars.
Zhao Xiu couldn’t help but think that if Xiaoran were here, perhaps things wouldn’t have turned out like this this time!
When Li Xiaoqing learned that her sister was coming back, her eyes lit up! “That’s great. It’s good that my sister and brother-in-law are coming back!”
When Li Shun learned that his eldest daughter, Li Xiaoran, was coming back, he heaved a sigh of relief.
As long as his eldest daughter was back, everything in the family would return to normal. He would never have to live such an uncomfortable life again.
Li Shun hadn’t been doing well recently.
His wife often went back to interfere in his father-in-law’s family matters, causing his father-in-law’s family to be dissatisfied.
Their youngest daughter, Xiao Qing, was also angry at her behavior. Whenever the mother and daughter disagreed, they would quarrel.
It was really too difficult for him to be the mediator between the mother and daughter.
Li Shun asked, “How many days will it be before they come home?”
After Luo Ziyang calculated it, he said, “According to my divine calculation, they’re halfway here and should be back in less than three days!”
Li Shun arranged, “That’s good! I remember that Xiaoran likes to eat boiled peanuts. Go and see which family in the village planted peanuts the earliest and they’re edible. Let’s buy some and cook them for our daughter. Luo Cheng likes to eat the cured pig trotters we make, so let’s wash one in the next few days and stew it on the day our daughter and son-in-law come back!”
Zhao Xiu nodded and got busy.
“Xiao Qing, you too! Hurry up and go look over the shop. If the business of this shop stops improving after your sister goes out, that’ll be letting down your sister’s efforts in the past!” Li Shun looked at Li Xiaoqing and said, “Don’t bicker with your mother for the next few days! We’ll talk about things when your sister comes back!”
Li Xiaoqing nodded and said in a low voice, “Father, I know I was wrong just now. I shouldn’t have treated Mother like that!”
When Li Shun saw that Li Xiaoqing had figured it out, he smiled.
“It’s good that you know you were wrong. Your mother actually regrets it as well. Go over and say something nice to her now. Then, you two will be able to reconcile later!”
Li Xiaoqing nodded and went to the storage room to look for Zhao Xiu.
After a while, when the mother and daughter came out again, their conflict had been resolved.
Li Shun teased, “That’s right. A family should get along. Arguing really isn’t suitable for our family!”
“I also know that I was wrong previously. Don’t worry! I’ve already thought it through. I won’t interfere in Father and Mother’s matters in the future! It’s fine as long as Father and Mother don’t starve. Let them do whatever they want!” Zhao Xiu was also reflecting on herself.
“Sigh, wife, you’re right to think that way! With us around, we definitely won’t let Father-in-law and Mother-in-law suffer. As for other things, we can’t interfere!” Li Shun quickly encouraged, “I’ll go tell Father and Mother that Xiaoran is coming back later and send some delicious food over!” Zhao Xiu nodded. After thinking it through, she stopped trying to go down a dead end. Instead, she became more open-minded.
“Alright, Father and Mother have lost a lot of weight recently, so I’ll make some fish soup for you to send over later.. I won’t go, in case they misunderstand again!”
