Chen Jiao listened to Bai Yuntang's tone and thought about Sun's deeds. She shrank in her heart. She could not be divorced and no one could drive her away.
Feeling Chen Jiao's fear, Bai Yuntang hugged her into his arms and patted her comfortingly.
"Now that you have figured it out? Baiyunxi is not someone who is being plotted against. Once she is angry, let alone you, we are nothing in her eyes. Then she is a person who wants nothing to do with her. If you go against her, you will not get involved.
Cheap."
"If it doesn't work out, we'll get nothing, and our family will be broken up."
Chen Jiao buried her face in Baiyuntang's chest, and her heart began to beat. If it was true as this man said, she really couldn't afford to offend Baiyunxi. She knew her reputation well, and it was indeed not worth Baiyunxi's cheers.
If she is really offended, no matter whether she unites with the Bai clan to expel her or forces Bai Yuntang to divorce her, how can she do it alone against a clan?
She was already a widow for her second marriage. If she had to do it again, even if her mother loved her, she would not be able to change her fate of marrying a second-rate man.
After these few years of getting along day and night, although Bai Yuntang will support her, it depends on the occasion. Once something goes against him or damages his face, he will either make peace with her or make her obedient and sensible, and don't embarrass him.
.
Therefore, she has long known that once she encounters a big problem, Baiyuntang will not support her and cannot support her.
Speaking of which, this is really rubbish. My daughter-in-law was bullied. Instead of going to someone to settle the score, she came to warn her.
Resentment is resentment, but now she has a son by her side. As long as she raises her son well, he will be her daughter's supporter. No matter where Xing'er marries, she will have her brothers from her mother's family to support her.
"It's me who got into trouble. I thought it would be too hard for Xing'er to follow me. If she stayed with me, I would be able to take care of her, but I didn't expect that I would cause trouble for my cousin Yun. The Bai family's threshold is high. After all, it's our mother.
The woman has reached a higher level."
Listening to Chen Jiao's sarcastic tone and looking at her sad and complaining look, Bai Yuntang patted her shoulder.
"As long as you can understand it. If Xing'er is good-looking, she will definitely find a good family. You should pay more attention. Whether you marry from here or from the Chen family, her dowry will be indispensable."
"But no matter what, Xiaowu and Anbang can't worry about it. The hall sister-in-law is just like Bai Yunxi, and they are not easy to mess with. If you mess with any of them, the Bai family will have no place for you and your daughter."
After hearing Bai Yuntang's warning, Chen Jiao's face turned pale and she lowered her head silently.
If a man doesn't stand on her side, no matter how hard she tries, it will be useless.
"……I see."
All her good plans were wiped out in one fell swoop. She still didn’t know how to explain it to Xing’er?
Seeing that she had listened, Bai Yuntang nodded with satisfaction.
"Don't worry, Xing'er is a well-behaved and sensible girl, and she will definitely find a good family. At worst, we can just give her more dowry when the time comes."
It's really ridiculous, a little dowry is nothing, no matter how much it is, it can't compare to having a talented man.
Bai Yuntang saw her slumped face and didn't say anything. He turned around and went out. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Xing'er standing at the door with tears on her face. When she saw him opening the door, she lowered her head and turned around and ran back to her room.
Baiyuntang: "..."
Chen Jiao was still confused when she saw her daughter's appearance. She must have overheard the conversation between the two.
"Cousin Yun, you go and do your work. I'll go and persuade Xing'er. After all, it's all my daughter's family's concern. It'll be over in two days."
"Oh, it doesn't matter. If she feels uncomfortable, just send her back to her grandma's house to stay for a few days and relax."
Xing'er, this girl, is just like her mother, she is soft-tempered and her eyes will turn red at every turn.
"Hey~, I'll ask her later."
Chen Jiao forced a smile and watched Bai Yuntang pick up the pole beside the wall and go out, then walked to her daughter's room.
"Myolie, Mom is coming in." When she pushed the door open, she found that it was plugged in from the inside.
Thinking about her excited expression when she learned that Xiao Wu was selected as a scholar, the joy in her eyes and heart was as if she had become a scholar. For this reason, she specially made a new dress and waited for Xiao Wu to come back and wear it for him.
Look.
Suddenly, all hope was lost, and it was understandable to feel sad and uncomfortable.
Not to mention Myolie, she was also slapped in the head, as if someone had poured cold water on her, and she was filled with disappointment.
Chen Jiao sighed and knocked gently on the door again.
"Xing'er, open the door. Mom has something to tell you."
Unfortunately, no one opened the door for her except for the muffled crying.
Thinking that her daughter had never suffered such a great grievance since she was a child, Chen Jiao was unwilling to accept it, but what could she do? After all, her arms could not twist her thighs, and they were weak as mother and daughter, so there was no way they could facilitate this marriage.
In fact, she knew that even if Baiyuntang didn't object, it would be difficult for her to promote this marriage in an honest way.
Bai Yunxi didn't like them at all, so she naturally wouldn't allow Myolie to come in. Originally, she just wanted to let Myolie have more contact with Xiaowu. They were both at the age when they were in love, so how could they not develop feelings for each other?
When the time comes, all she has to do is add fuel to the flames, but Bai Yunxi will not dare to make things too ugly if she takes into account the reputation of Xiao Wu. She has to accept this marriage even if she pinches her nose. As long as her daughter becomes a scholar, no one will dare to do so.
Arrange them as you like.
But now, when this matter is brought out in the open, it means that there is no hope at all.
"Myolie, open the door for mom, let's talk carefully if you have anything to say."
After a while, the door opened from the inside. Looking at her daughter's red and swollen eyes, Chen Jiao felt uncomfortable. The mother and daughter walked into the room together. As soon as they closed the door, Xing'er threw herself into Chen Jiao's arms and began to cry.
.
"Mom, why? Why did you promise dad? It was already agreed upon, wuwu..."
Chen Jiao choked, then reached out and patted her daughter on the back, "Because our arms can't twist the thighs. Once we cause trouble, there will be no place for us in Willow Bay."
Listening to her mother's helpless sigh, Xing'er cried even more sadly, "Ugh...Brother Xiao Wu hasn't come back yet, why should she refuse her? As long as Brother Xiao Wu likes me, what does it matter to others?"
Listening to her daughter's tone, Chen Jiao's face trembled, "The key is that she is not someone else. She is Xiao Wu's biological mother. Without her consent, Xiao Wu cannot get married."
"Why did she interfere with us? What did I do wrong? I flattered her and pleased her. Even if she was lukewarm to me, I wasn't angry with her. But why can't she tolerate me?"
Xing'er stood up straight, her eyes were red and swollen, and they looked pitifully tight no matter how you looked at them.
"Yeah~, our Xing'er is so nice, why can't they tolerate us?"
Chen Jiao took the handkerchief to dry her tears. If her daughter wore silk clothes and two velvet flowers, men would not be able to take their eyes away.
