Strict Wife Of The '70s Manages The Household

Chapter 396

Dong Huaihua said, “What kind of treacherous words are coming out of your mouth right now? Pair of offenders? Xiuyun is your sister-in-law, how can you say something so horrible? The marriage between her and Youth Chen was something that your in-laws agreed to early on and they were even engaged.”

She gave Xiuyun’s mother a look.

Xiuyun’s mother immediately took care of it and took out a red, chiffon scarf from her daughter’s possession.

Dong Huaihua grabbed it, “This was a token of love from him— a dowry, if you will. At any rate, he is going to settle in the Shanzui Village anyways, so there’s no need for extravagant dowries…”

“What? He wants to undergo a matrilocal residence? Then what are we? The elders already have kids and grandchildren, so why the heck is he going to move in with us? Do you think that you don’t have any grandkids in this house?” Xiuyun’s second sister-in-law wasn’t in agreement once again.

“What are you yapping about? Who said anything about him moving in? Youth Chen is merely going to settle down in our Brigade and live here even after getting married. Naturally, you will be of two different families; they are the Chen’s whereas you are the Liu’s!”

Xiuyun’s second sister-in-law didn’t respond, but she was still unconvinced.

Lin Lan said, “Alright, everything’s okay now so we’ll take our leave,” She didn’t want to meddle in the businesses of others’. After all, she had her own pile of mess to deal with, evident from the way the old lady and the youngest aunt always wanted to stir up trouble with her.

Making her heart displeased and agitated at every hour of the day wouldn’t be a good thing for her. So, it would be best to go home to the children, calm herself down and purify her ears from all the noise she dealt with in the morning.

She whispered to Xiuyun’s mother, “Look after her well. Try not to leave her side to make sure that she doesn’t do anything stupid.”

Xiuyun’s mother nodded immediately, “Okay!”

Lin Lan glanced at Liu Xiuyun. Sometimes, the horrifying fear was not of the gossips and pointed fingers of strangers, but the judgemental gazes from your own family.

If Xiuyun’s second sister-in-law were to remain like this, the poor girl would inevitably feel an overwhelming sense of guilt. Coupled with the mental impact from Youth Chen, Lin Lan was truly worried that Xiuyun wouldn’t have the ability to remain unaffected.

Lin Lan said to Liu Xiuyun, “Xiuyun, I’m going to tell you something whether you like it or not— there is nothing in this world that cannot be resolved. Not everyone can accept it now since our way of thinking is conditioned to its traditional roots, but in a couple of years, perhaps the public will be more open towards having the freedom to love. Nevertheless, the downside of that is the increased chances of encountering scumbag men, so in times like those, it would be better to have your parents help you out. “

Although Liu Xiuyun did not respond, the pupils of her eyes flickered, indicating that she had heard Lin Lan’s every word.

Lin Lan said again, “Men like that bastard are not even worth your time, so it would be nothing but an insult to marry someone like him. It wasn’t your fault that you were blinded by his schemes; we were the ones who failed to promote this form of education, which caused you all to fall prey into their tricks. In the future, our brigade’s publicity and education should be kept up-to-date. The Director and I will put more effort into this, so you should think about what you want to do for a bit. “
