Chapter 390: Chapter 386: Getting Scared for No Reason【950 Votes+】
——————
Tiantian, that little clever spirit, grew up in the courtyard of a military district since she was a child, and with her parents not around, she was sensitive from a young age, as well as having high emotional intelligence. Once she said her piece, Xiao Si and Xiaoqi felt much more comfortable in their hearts!
Her exact words were:
"Xiao Si, Xiaoqi, how could you possibly feel like you’ve lost your little aunt? Just because the little aunt is married, does that mean she doesn’t have the Xie surname anymore? If anything, the person who should feel at a loss is me. Ever since Uncle got Auntie, all the good stuff has been given to you both!"
As she spoke, she glanced enviously at the model airplane in Xiao Si’s hand and the red, anciently dressed wooden doll in Xiaoqi’s hand, with a look of wanting to cry!
Look, clearly a little Lolita, yet she speaks so logically, as if Xiao Si and Xiaoqi have been sold without their knowledge, and they might even be helping Tiantian count the money right now!
Next to them was Zhou Zhenghui, who kept humoring the kids, and the uncouth Xie Jingzi, who certainly wasn’t a match for this pair of nephews and uncles!
After her anger subsided, Xie Jingzi understood in her heart that according to her temperament, she would definitely drag it out until after she graduated from college before considering the situation set by her parents.
Uncle really understood her temper perfectly.
Short-tempered as she was, she ended up being pressed hard by Zhou Zhenghui who managed to regain his position, agreeing to several unfair conditions, just like signing a contract of servitude.
Xie Jingzi had always been a very sensible and considerate good child. She knew:
That accident wasn’t actually Zhou Zhenghui’s fault, although she was even more innocent. But the mistake had created the fact, and deep down in her heart, Xie Jingzi was a traditional village girl.
In her heart, there was a kind of perseverance in sticking to one and only.
If it were anyone other than Zhou Zhenghui, Xie Jingzi might not even attempt it.
She was willing to accept Zhou Zhenghui, an older man, solely because in that situation, he really did stop what he was doing as soon as he heard her words.
No matter how it started or what the process was like, Xie Jingzi clung to one crucial point: Zhou Zhenghui was a man with a bottom line in his heart.
The two of them met by fate, with errors on top of errors, creating a cause and effect. In the end, the man said to her earnestly that he wanted to date her seriously, he was willing to take responsibility.
Day by day, Xie Jingzi’s feelings towards him improved.
The initial resentment in her heart towards that accident was fading with time and with more interactions with him, her thoughts and emotions were changing.
Zhou Zhenghui was experienced and observant, and she, being naive, was simply being led by the nose, failing to notice that ever since she got into the mix, she was continually being guided by Zhou Zhenghui to accept him!
Their relationship, eventually, was acknowledged by her nodding in agreement—they had agreed to start dating.
Although Xie Jingzi was no great hero, she still held credibility in the words she said.
Moreover, Xie Jingzi was very clear in her heart that after the ’Yan Jinxian drugging incident’, if Zhou Zhenghui did not feel responsible as the main party involved, she would not have married, let alone date.
She would rather stay single her entire life than to let another man feel she was tricking him into marriage and bring shame upon a legitimate husband.
Even if Wang Lixing was better in any way, he was not Zhou Zhenghui, not the uncle with whom she had had intimate relations. Just on this point, even if Wang Lixing became a commander one day, she would never nod in agreement.
Naive as she was, she only wanted to preserve her dignity.
In this era, once a woman is labeled as ’damaged goods’, not only would it bring shame to the family, but also she would be compelled to parade through the streets! Such cases were not rare in the early years.
Hence, Xie Jingzi, the little aunt, in her psychology, rather than get married, would never let herself fall into a position where she would be mocked.
There’s a saying that goes: One sows, Heaven witnesses; unless one does nothing, otherwise, the traces of one’s deeds will eventually show.
Xie Jingzi, just on this psychological barrier alone, could not pass through it, so upon finishing her words, she instinctively gripped Zhou Zhenghui’s hand firmly, and when her voice broke off, her large eyes, similar to Zhou Xiuhua’s, looked towards her parents.
"My dear child..." Zhou Xiuhua, upon hearing this, felt such a headache that her hand instinctively gripped her spouse’s arm.
My dear child, she can’t be this ignorant and foolish, right?!
"Mom, my dear child isn’t senseless. I’m sorry to make you worry, but I really..." Xie Jingzi tried to say something to describe her state of mind but found out, reading for nearly ten years, she ran out of words!
However, to Xie Tiesheng and Zhou Xiuhua, this sounded like their daughter was expressing that she genuinely liked Zhou Zhenghui, and their relationship was deep.
"You," Before Xie Tiesheng could say anything, Zhou Xiuhua abruptly remembered that her daughter had gone out with this brat in front of them a month ago, and when she came back, her little mouth was swollen. Now, looking at Zhou Zhenghui, it was with extreme anger—
Standing up abruptly, her whole body wobbled, frightening everyone in the living room who were now all watching her tensely—
"Mom, Mom, calm down first! Look at you, scaring yourself when there’s nothing! Stop being so angry and stop overthinking, even if you don’t trust me, don’t you trust your daughter’s character?!"
Yan Jinsu sat next to her mother-in-law, and immediately supported her, perhaps not thinking of as much as Xie Jingzi’s biological mother, Zhou Xiuhua, but seeing her mother-in-law’s ashen face, she spoke out loud immediately, her hands rhythmically patting her back.
"Ah? Mom, what are you angry about?" Seeing her own mother become extremely angry, Xie Jingzi immediately regretted it; getting married or not is not a big deal, but her mother’s health cannot be compromised!
Xie Tiesheng had been observing coldly all along, seeing that his youngest daughter was still close to them, the elderly parents, and understanding the incomplete words she just said. He suddenly grasped the situation.
Seeing his spouse was not lightly angered, he tightly held her hand, annoyed, "You, this old woman, why are you bothering to get so upset? If the sky falls, we have San’er to hold it up. Why the fuss?"
Even though the tone was complaining, the intention was to console. He didn’t dare to express any excessive confrontation, just wishing for his spouse to calm down quietly.
At this moment, the Xie Family members couldn’t concern themselves with Zhou Zhenghui’s darkening face, but instead, they nervously helped Zhou Xiuhua to sit properly, as Xie Jingzi took out the cooling oil from the drawer in the coffee table, applying some on her forehead and under her nose.
"Don’t worry about me, I’m fine!" It was just a moment of dizziness for Zhou Xiuhua, who had gotten older. Despite Yan Jinsu’s good care, it wasn’t possible to fix hers and Xie Tiesheng’s chronic issues overnight.
In the past half a year, Zhou Xiuhua had rarely suffered dizziness.
However, recently due to caring for the baby, her physical condition was slightly affected. Being upset made her dizzy due to the emotional outburst.
