CHAPTER 440: CHAPTER 442: XIA XIAO IS VERY POPULAR WITH CHILDREN

Sun Yuhua thought about how Gao Guoqiang, Zheng Xianghong, Gao Jiaxing, and Xia Xiao were all very kind to Weilin and for a moment wondered if she had been wrong to doubt, which could have led to Gao Jiazhi’s outburst.

"You don’t need to worry so much. Gao Jiazhi is really good, much better than my own husband. You wouldn’t believe it, but he used to be hardworking. Now, as soon as he’s done with the production team’s work, he’s always thinking about catching fish and frogs. But that’s not easy, and when he comes back tired, he lies around like a lord."

Wang Aihua was incredibly envious of Sun Yuhua. After marrying Gao Jiazhi, Sun Yuhua hadn’t done much work at all.

As for her, she hardly rested from dawn to dusk, taking care of both the interior and exterior of the house. Fortunately, Fang Yuejin was willing to help out, or else Wang Aihua would indeed be exhausted.

"Moreover, at his home, his father’s health is poor, and he’s constantly needing medicine, always getting injections and taking pills. We have to keep sending money back home." Saying this, Wang Aihua felt helpless because they had to care for his family, leaving them without a penny to their names.

Hearing about Wang Aihua’s family issues, including a father-in-law in poor health, Sun Yuhua realized how tight life was.

"You know, you really should have a son. These days, if a woman doesn’t have a son, how can she expect to have any status in her husband’s family?" Wang Aihua advised.

"It’s not that I don’t want to have one." Sun Yuhua touched her stomach. "After Weilin was born, I just haven’t gotten pregnant again."

"You keep quarreling with Gao Jiazhi, and when a couple’s relationship isn’t good, how can they have children? This time when he comes back, you should hold back a bit and get along with him better. Your temperament is something only Gao Jiazhi can bear."

As soon as Wang Aihua finished speaking, Sun Yuhua disagreed, "He’s the one who can’t stand me. Now he’s the one getting angry with me."

Sun Yuhua complained to Wang Aihua about Gao Jiazhi’s faults, and their conversation gradually shifted to matters of the city. Wang Aihua asked Sun Yuhua about bringing Gao Jiazhi back to her parents’ home, wondering how her family had reacted.

Sun Yuhua looked embarrassed and shook her head.

Wang Aihua exclaimed in shock, "No way, Sun Yuhua. They all went to S City, and you haven’t taken Gao Jiazhi and your daughter back to see your parents?"

Sun Yuhua explained with difficulty, "You know what my family is like. They’ve never looked highly upon Jiazhi. And this time, even when we reached the doorstep, we weren’t allowed in."

"So you just let your husband and your in-laws leave like that?" Wang Jiahua was incredulous.

"What else could I do? A daughter who is married off is like water poured away. Once back at her parents’ house, she’s just like a guest and has no say."

When Sun Yuhua said this, Wang Aihua’s expression darkened, and she looked at Sun Yuhua seriously, "Yuhua, you’ve made a big mistake this time. You’ve really hurt your in-laws’ feelings."

Sun Yuhua fell silent, and Wang Aihua said, "Do you not want to continue this marriage?" Otherwise, why would she behave so recklessly towards her in-laws? Wang Aihua couldn’t understand. She knew that the Gao family had reached The Suns’ doorstep but were blocked from entering, and Sun Yuhua didn’t protest, just silently watching her in-laws and her husband leave with the child.

Suddenly, Wang Aihua didn’t know what else to say, looking at Sun Yuhua with disappointment.

"I don’t want to give up on this marriage," Sun Yuhua defended herself.

"You truly don’t want to continue, do you? Don’t think that if you let the Gao family’s hearts grow cold, they will still be good to you," Wang Aihua said. "Put yourself in their shoes. If you’re not good to them, how can you expect them to be good to you? Yuhua, you’re not a princess—The Gao Family doesn’t owe you anything, and they won’t always be nice to you. If you keep this up, you’ll eventually reach the end of the road with Gao Jiazhi, and by then even Weilin will resent you, her mother."

Wang Aihua was so insistent on advising Sun Yuhua because they had known each other for many years and were close. Moreover, Sun Yuhua would always share everything with her.

"I didn’t know it would come to that," Yuhua defended herself. She felt wronged and had not anticipated Xia Xiao bringing the Gao family to her parents’ home during her escape.

"Do you think Xia Xiao did that on purpose? She knew my family was against my marriage to Jiazhi, yet she brought his parents and Jiazhi to them," said Yuhua.

As soon as Yuhua finished speaking, Wang Aihua shook her head. "Why would you blame Xia Xiao? It’s not her fault. Have you considered that everyone was worried about you when you simply ran off? And when your family wouldn’t let your in-laws and husband step inside, you should’ve left with your husband’s family. Unless you don’t want your husband and children anymore, your actions clearly pushed your husband and his family away," Aihua continued.

"Yuhua, you really need to reflect on this. You can’t go on like this unless you genuinely no longer want this marriage. Think about it—what will you do when the Gao Family turns against you?" Wang Aihua sighed.

"So what should I do?" asked Yuhua.

"Make amends with Gao Jiazhi. Perhaps give Mr. Jiazhi a son. I don’t even know what to say to you anymore."

At the Fangs’, Xia Lin’s wedding was quite lively. Xia Xiao and Xia Jing were very happy to see their younger sister married off.

Ge Liang was very attached to Xia Xiao, which shocked Gao Guoqiang and Zheng Xianghong, but they said nothing.

Feiyang and Feiyue, along with Feiyi, were not pleased when they saw Ge Liang sticking close to Xia Xiao, and neither was Weilin. So the children began their little tug-of-war for attention.

The children then gathered around Xia Xiao, sticking to her side and not leaving, and everyone praised her for being good with kids.

Xia Xiao chuckled, dismissing the idea that she had a special affinity with children. Three of them were her sons, one was her niece, and she had once taken care of Ge Liang, so it was natural that they were close to her.

By the time they returned from the Fangs’, it was already evening, and everyone was tired. Not wanting to cook, the family decided to take the children, including Weilin, out to eat.

Once back home, Xia Xiao went to the kitchen to heat some water, preparing for a bath.

Upon hearing that the Gao Family had returned, Sun Yuhua packed her bags and made her way back home. Everyone, including Gao Guoqiang, Zheng Xianghong, and even Gao Jiazhi and Gao Jiaxing, silently ignored her. Xia Xiao sighed and said nothing.

Only Feiyang and Feiyue, as well as Feiyi, greeted their aunt, while Weilin ran toward Sun Yuhua, calling, "Mom, why did you come back so late?"

The world of children is simple, devoid of the complexities of adults, and hence they were unaware of the situation. But the Gao Family couldn’t forgive Sun Yuhua.

Yuhua forced a smile, looked around at everyone, but no one paid any attention to her, not even a glance.

The incident at the Suns’ doorstep had hurt the Gao family deeply, and they harbored even more resentment toward Sun Yuhua than her own family did.

"Feiyang, Feiyue, Feiyi, come bathe," Xia Xiao called out to the boys, who immediately ran towards her.
