292 Second Aunt’s Story With Her Maternal Family (2)

Her mother’s suicide had always been a knot in Second Aunt’s heart.

Her parents had passed away, and Second Aunt had fewer and fewer opportunities to return to her parents’ home.

Occasionally, she would go to her parents’ house to visit her younger brother and sister-in-law.

With the help of her in-laws, her younger brother and sister-in-law’s lives were getting better and better.

The other two sisters-in-law were jealous and envious.

It seemed that in order to ease their relationship with their sister-in-law, they kept currying favor with her.

However, it was impossible to pretend that nothing had happened in the past.

This was especially true considering her mother’s death. Not only did Second Aunt hate them for not discovering her mother’s abnormality earlier, but she also hated her two sisters-in-law for being cold and heartless.

Therefore, ever since her parents passed away, she had been indifferent to her two sisters-in-law.

Even in the face of her two sisters-in-law’s flattery, she still could not dispel the unhappiness in her heart.

After hearing her second aunt’s story, Gu Qingming fell silent.

She did not expect her optimistic and cheerful second aunt to have such a past.

Grandma Shi asked, “How are your brother and sister-in-law recently?”

“Yes, they’re very good.” Second Aunt nodded and said, “It’s just that their eldest son has been working outside the village recently and has a girlfriend from elsewhere. The two of them don’t agree.”

Grandma asked, “Why don’t they agree?”

“I heard that it’s easy for foreign wives to run away!” Second Aunt said. “In that village, there were really two foreign wives who ran away and left behind a few children. Mom, you know that it’s very difficult for a man’s family to remarry if they have children. Especially in this era, not to mention the high betrothal gifts, the problem is that there are no girls.”

Grandmother nodded and said, “That’s a problem. But in my opinion, a foreign daughter-in-law who made the decision to run away was probably mistreated by the husband and his family. Otherwise, not many people would be willing to abandon the children they gave birth to. After all, that’s their own flesh and blood.”

Second Aunt thought for a moment and said, “That’s true. Just look at the Ting Family. Those two families bullied them for not asking for betrothal gifts. They went back with their son. One of them didn’t do well and scolded the daughter-in-law for throwing herself at them. They claimed she jinxed their family.”

“Isn’t that so!” Grandmother shook her head lightly and said, “The human heart is made of flesh. His wife is originally from another city and has no relatives. The only people she has to rely on are her husband and in-laws. It’s fine if it’s her in-laws, but if she can’t even rely on her husband, then what’s the point of her being in this family?”

“That’s right. I heard that the husband is also on his mother’s side.” Second Aunt asked, “Mom, in your opinion, can my nephew marry this foreign girlfriend?”

Grandma smiled and said, “You can marry anyone! But if you want to keep a wife, you have to be sincere! If that girl can really leave her hometown and follow your nephew to our place to get married and have children, then she must have a true love for him. So, as long as you treat her well and don’t let her have the feeling of marrying far away and being lonely, she will definitely be willing to stay.”

Second Aunt nodded and said, “Mom, you’re right. With honest people like my brother and sister-in-law, they will definitely treat their daughter-in-law sincerely. Back then, not long after my sister-in-law married into the family, she already served my paralyzed Mom with all her might! My sister-in-law is an honest and kind woman. She won’t be like an evil mother-in-law!”

Grandma smiled and said, “Your sister-in-law is indeed a good person! I’ve never misjudged anyone in my life!”

She had had so many daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law, and all of them were under her supervision. None of them turned out badly.

Second Aunt smiled and said, “Yes, Mom is very good at judging people! When the time comes, my nephew will bring his girlfriend back. Please take a look at her!”

Grandma chuckled and said, “Alright!”

Second Aunt thought for a moment and said, “I’ll call my sister-in-law now and see when Chengcheng will bring that girlfriend home. It’s just the new year, so there’s still some time.”

Grandma shook her head and said, “That’s not appropriate!”

“Why?” Second Aunt asked in confusion.

“Where’s the girl from?” her grandmother asked.

“Sichuan Province!” Second Aunt said.

“Mingming, how far is Sichuan Province from us?”

Gu Qingming turned on her cell phone and said, “More than 1,600 kilometers!”

Second Aunt was slightly taken aback. “Is it that far?”

“Yes, this is only calculated according to the distance between the two provincial capitals. The provincial capital of Sichuan Province is 2,000 kilometers away from us. I wonder which city in Sichuan Province the girl is from?” Gu Qingming asked.

Second Aunt said in surprise, “Ah, it’s actually so far away!”

Grandma nodded and said, “That’s right. It’s so far away. I’m afraid it’s not good to let a girl come to us alone. It’s fine if that girl doesn’t say it. After all, she’ll be related to them in the future.”

Gu Qingming asked curiously, “Second Aunt, does that girl’s family agree with your nephew?”

Second Aunt frowned slightly and shook her head. “I still have to ask.”

Grandma Shi nodded and said, “We have to ask clearly. If the girl’s family doesn’t agree, we can’t let her elope with your nephew, right?”

Second Aunt thought for a moment and said, “I can’t ask my sister-in-law either. I’ll call my nephew over directly. We’ll talk after we clarify the situation!”

“Yes, go. Hurry up and call the child. Marriage is a big deal. It’s a matter of life. The two of them have feelings for each other. The sooner we do it, the better!” Grandma said with a smile.

“Yes, I’ll call their family over now!” Second Aunt nodded.

“Since a relative is here, I’ll ask Eldest Brother to add two more dishes!” Grandma Shi smiled and said, “It’ll probably be more lively tonight!”

A moment later, Second Aunt said, “Yes, my brother’s family will be coming over.”

Gu Qingming was really curious about these relatives interacting during the new year.

The Gu family had only one descendant for a few generations and had almost no relatives.

It was only on the second day of the Lunar New Year every year that the collateral branches of the Gu family from all over the country returned to the ancestral home to worship their ancestors. There were already five members of the Gu family who could not be considered relatives at all. They just had the same ancestor.

Then, it was a gift exchange between friends and business partners.

Speaking of which, the Gu family was really a little lonely.

Ever since she was young, she had never had any relatives other than coming to a foreign family.

Therefore, she was still a little interested in listening to the matters between these relatives.

By dinner time, other than Shi Yaoqing and his wife, everyone had returned.

Including Second Aunt and brother, who had just rushed over, the family of three.

It was obviously not the first time that the family of Second Aunt’s brother had come to the Shi family.

In the past, they would come to the Shi family on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

However, when they heard her sister say that they wanted to discuss his son, they immediately rushed over.

Hearing his nephew talk about the girl and the family, the Shi family analyzed and agreed that the girl was a good person.

When Second Aunt, her brother, and sister-in-law heard this, they were finally relieved. They planned to go to the girl’s house this time and discuss this marriage.
