CHAPTER 943: CHAPTER 637: QIHUI’S FEELINGS (PART 2)

"That’s exactly the point, you see, Chuxia and Regimental Commander Zhou are like this, because Regimental Commander Zhou insists on Chuxia and no one else, so, from the moment Chuxia married into the Zhou family, no one dared to bully her."

Chuxia looked at Luo Xiaoqiong speechlessly: "How did this turn into a discussion about me? Is my sister’s situation the same as mine?"

"Although it’s not the same situation, it’s quite similar. If Regimental Commander Zhou wasn’t so resolute, do you think the Zhou family would have accepted you so easily?

You have to understand, at that time, nobody knew Uncle Baohe’s background, you were just an ordinary small-town girl. It might not sound nice, but that’s the truth, right?

Take me for example, I was the one who first showed interest in Zhao Qiliang. If it weren’t for you playing matchmaker, he wouldn’t have chosen me at all. But still, I dared to unwaveringly be with him.

The reason is simple, I had been to Zhao’s house with you before, and knew the character of the family. I knew they weren’t snobbish and wouldn’t look down on me for that.

So Sister Qihui, I use Chuxia’s and my own examples to tell you, either the man must be firm, or the in-laws must be good people, otherwise, you have to make other plans in advance."

Chuxia and Zhou Mikang’s story, Zhao Qihui knew.

Luo Xiaoqiong and Zhao Qiliang’s situation, Zhao Qihui knew as well.

Thus, when Luo Xiaoqiong compared the two situations, she also thought seriously.

Although she was older than Chuxia and Luo Xiaoqiong, she had to admit that when it came to matters of the heart, she didn’t seem as clear-thinking as the two of them.

First of all, Jiang Wenyuan’s family couldn’t compare with her parents, so Luo Xiaoqiong’s example couldn’t be replicated in her situation.

So, she could only consider Jiang Wenyuan’s feelings towards her.

Looking back on their interactions and exchanges, it seemed more like a teacher-student relationship, even when they were together, all he talked about was study study study.

On the third day of Jiang Wenyuan’s winter break return, he came to find her, politely greeted her family, and then started testing her, and because she got a very simple geometry question wrong, she was scolded severely.

Grandpa and Grandma sided with Jiang Wenyuan, saying it was for her own good, that strict teachers produce outstanding students.

Yes, strict teachers produce outstanding students, and it was indeed useful for her studies, but her feelings for him seemed to be increasingly dominated by fear.

Thinking about this, she earnestly looked at her sister and sister-in-law: "It seems what you both said doesn’t align with him; his parents couldn’t possibly be like mine, and he couldn’t possibly treat me like Regimental Commander Zhou treats Chuxia."

Chuxia rolled her eyes: "Sis, nothing is perfectly replicable. What Xiaoqiong said makes sense, but where in the world are things entirely the same?

Plus, I don’t agree with Luo Xiaoqiong’s claim that my brother doesn’t care about her. Yes, it was initially her being proactive, but later on, it was all my brother being proactive, wasn’t it?

My brother’s personality is such that he couldn’t possibly protect someone as forcefully as Zhou Mikang does, and the Jiang Wenyuan you’re currently with must have a personality different from both my brother and Zhou Mikang, so his way of interacting with you will definitely be unique.

Sis, you should carefully consider if your heart feels secure when you’re with him, and whether you truly look forward to living with him every day in the future. As for his family... oh right, sis, how many siblings does he have?"

"He has one older brother, and older sister, one younger brother, and one younger sister. The older brother and sister are married, the younger brother is getting married next year, and the younger sister hasn’t found a husband yet."

"That’s a lot of kids..." Chuxia rubbed her forehead, "Sis, you need to think this through now, in such a family, having a college student is something the entire family is probably paying close attention to.

If you really end up together, the responsibilities certainly won’t be small. I’m not saying that as children you shouldn’t be filial to your parents, what I mean is that sometimes excessive filial piety could exhaust you completely.

For instance, if the brother’s child gets sick, the sister needs to build a house, something happens in the brother’s family, the sister needs a job, the parents don’t feel well, or a relative asks for help..., all of these will naturally seek help from you.

If you don’t help, you’ll be seen as ungrateful. If you help, your life with your future husband will become a chaotic mess, not to mention issues with children’s education.

If you have a child and take care of it yourself, you won’t be able to work. If you stay home, you won’t feel at ease, and if you let the parents-in-law take care of them, you won’t feel at ease either. Let the eldest uncle and aunt take care, but might feel uneasy about the parents-in-law.

In any case, these miscellaneous problems certainly won’t be in short supply, and you must think them through in advance, otherwise, when the time comes, you’ll be overwhelmed."

Luo Xiaoqiong looked at Chuxia in surprise: "I mean, how could you think of so much? And said it all so clearly, as if you’ve experienced it, Summer, don’t scare people like this, okay?"

Chuxia gave her a sidelong glance: "Get lost! If you think about these problems, they’re certainly conceivable, why do you have to experience them yourself to articulate them?"

Luo Xiaoqiong retorted unwillingly: "I wouldn’t have thought of these, and neither would Sister Qihui."

"You grew up in the comfort of a sheltered life, of course you wouldn’t think of these things. The sis is too involved to see clearly, if it were someone else, she would have figured it out long ago."

Zhao Qihui glanced at Chuxia bitterly: "Summer, the way you put it, why do I think my future with him seems so bleak?"

"It’s not completely bleak, as long as you have the courage to bear it all. Of course, I might have exaggerated a bit, it’s inevitable to overestimate when imagining scenarios, isn’t it?"

Zhao Qihui’s face twitched even more intensely: "Your exaggeration just wiped out all my confidence." (To be continued.
