CHAPTER 1290: CHAPTER 1291: THE LITTLE WIDOW OF THE SIHEYUAN 18

Zhang Yu got up yawning, sighing, accustomed to sleeping at nine every day, but yesterday he didn’t fall asleep until past ten, which was really a bit unsettling.

Luckily, everyone in the compound was in the same state, yawning, showing that the spirits weren’t great.

Today it was lively by the pool, especially when seeing the family of three of Zhao Gui, someone asked Zhao Gui if he really wanted to find a husband to move in.

When Zhao Fu opened the door, he heard the neighbors discussing this, and immediately his expression turned very ugly.

He had considered whether Zhao Juan would bring a son-in-law into the family, but Zhao Gui always said his daughter was going to be married off, so he thought bringing in a husband was out of the question.

But reality hit hard, as his own elder brother had always been considering having someone move in.

The reason they never mentioned it before was actually to guard against him, afraid that they would make a fuss. If Zhao Lin hadn’t stumbled into it, who knows, they might have only learned when Zhao Juan got married that the daughter wasn’t being married off.

Zhao Fu was in a bad mood thinking about the fat sheep that slipped away from his grasp just like that.

When he saw Zhao Gui, he couldn’t help but snort coldly a few times. Zhao Gui glanced at Zhao Fu, initially wanting to say something, but after hearing his snort, couldn’t be bothered to talk to him and turned into the house.

As the head of the household, of course, he was the one in charge of family matters, and it was impossible to give the entire family fortune to a nephew.

If either of the two nephews had some promise, Zhao Gui actually wouldn’t mind adopting one.

He observed for a long time, only to abandon this idea, as neither nephew showed any promise.

What Zhao Gui now regrets most is that after Zhao Jun’s parents had an accident, he somehow didn’t maintain a good relationship with Zhao Jun.

But missing the opportunity was just that, a missed opportunity. Zhao Gui glanced at Zhang Yu, thinking why wasn’t it Zhang Yu who died? Zhao Jun, being a grown man, certainly wouldn’t take care of children.

In that case, he could let Auntie Zhao help with the children and introduce a wife for him, which would surely make Zhao Jun very grateful.

How come it was Zhao Jun who died? Zhao Gui sighed unhappily again.

Auntie Zhao pushed the door open and heard Zhao Gui sighing, "Zhao Fu is really getting more and more overbearing, always glaring at me with disdain."

"Good thing we haven’t adopted Zhao Qi or Zhao Lin, otherwise, even if we wanted to buy something when Xiao Juan gets married, we’d like to give her a dowry..."

Auntie Zhao carefully looked at Zhao Gui. Zhao Fu and the others didn’t want to see Zhao Juan bring a husband into the family. Actually, she didn’t want to see her daughter stay at home either.

"Our daughter will absolutely not be married off." Zhao Gui thought that after last night’s incident, Zhao Juan’s major life event was settled, that she would absolutely not be married off.

Unexpectedly, now they were still tentatively asking, "Let me tell you, if you’re still thinking about supporting your maiden family..."

"Just go back to your maiden family directly." Zhao Gui recently found himself unhappy with everything and really didn’t have the energy to deal with these matters.

"There’s nothing going on at home recently, and since you mentioned Zhao Fu, seeing you, doesn’t have a good attitude, just go live with your maiden family for a while."

"Haven’t you always said that your brothers at your maiden family want you to go back and live with them?"

"Then just go back and help them a little bit."

"Don’t take anything with you, either." Zhao Gui knew that the brothers at her maiden family didn’t really like her that much, they just thought she would bring something back.

Now he decided not to give her anything and let her see how those family members who constantly thought of her came to treat her.

Auntie Zhao didn’t expect that her thought of not wanting to miss out on a good son-in-law like Liu Ming would be seen by Zhao Gui as helping her maiden family.

Auntie Zhao really felt she was being wronged, "Old Zhao, that’s not what I meant, I was thinking, you know Liu Ming is good too."

Zhao Juan didn’t rest well last night either. After she shouted about bringing in a husband, she actually felt a bit regretful inside.

She knew that once she decided not to get married, her relationship with Liu Ming would basically be impossible.

Even though she hadn’t spent much time with Liu Ming, she really liked him and had already thought about her life after marriage. Even though she knew it would meet with some difficulties, she wasn’t afraid.

She knew her parents were her strongest support, and no matter what difficulties she encountered, she could overcome them.

As for Auntie Zhao’s tentative questioning, Zhao Juan was also hopeful. She hadn’t expected that Auntie Zhao only asked a bit, and her father would get so angry.

"Dad, I really like Liu Ming." Zhao Juan felt that this was her life happiness, and she must fight for it.

Auntie Zhao, who had been variously anxious and worried, saw her daughter standing on her side, gaining a lot of courage and even daring to look Zhao Gui in the eye.

Zhao Gui looked at the mother and daughter beside him and really wanted to chastise them properly.

"Dad, I’m already grown up." Zhao Juan could feel Zhao Gui’s unhappiness inside, she really felt a bit cowardly, and for a moment, she wanted to run.

But thinking of Liu Ming, she found courage again, knowing she had to fight.

"Dad, even if I get married off, wouldn’t I still be your daughter?"

"The chairman even said, gender equality, why stick to these outdated traditions?"

Zhao Juan tried hard to change Zhao Gui’s thoughts, thinking that the family inheritance must be hers, she absolutely wouldn’t bring in a husband; she wanted to be married off.

Auntie Zhao nodded repeatedly listening to her daughter’s words, deeply believing that her daughter’s words made a lot of sense.

Watching Zhao Juan speaking confidently and Auntie Zhao nodding in agreement, Zhao Gui lost the inclination to educate them.

"Zhao Juan, think it through; you don’t want to be married off?" Zhao Gui confirmed again with Zhao Juan.

Although a bit uneasy, Zhao Juan still nodded, "Yes, I don’t want to bring in a husband."

"Those without good prospects are all the dregs."

"Dad, rest assured." Zhao Juan quickly made a promise, "Dad, even if I get married, I’ll still be your daughter, and I will be good to you."

"In the future, I will come back every day." To come back for lunch and maintain her presence in front of her parents, so as not to give the neighbors any perceived benefits.

"If there are any issues at home, Liu Ming and I will come over." Zhao Juan believed Liu Ming would surely do so.

Watching Zhao Juan swearing so convincingly, Zhao Gui really didn’t want to listen to her promises.

He stared fixedly at Zhao Juan for a long time, then turned to look at Auntie Zhao, "Old companion, do you think so too?"

"You think our daughter should stay at home?" Previously, many people had mentioned this to him, but he never considered it.

Now, he decided that only after the mother and daughter made their choice, he would definitely make his own choice too.

Zhao Juan looked at Auntie Zhao, who stood up, fully supporting her daughter, "Old Zhao, I think Xiao Juan’s words are very correct."

"You haven’t seen Xiao Ming." Auntie Zhao had met Liu Ming, and she was quite satisfied with him, absolutely satisfied.

"No worries, you’ll see in the future. Xiao Juan, since you think he’s great, marrying him will lead to good days."

"As a father, I support you." Zhao Gui took a deep look at Zhao Juan, who wasn’t even married off yet but was already calculating her maiden family, and could give up.
