Chapter 102 Uncle Visits
This is the first time in so many years that Liu Huihui has heard her father evaluate her mother clearly. In her impression, her mother blames her father and is often picky about her. Therefore, she always feels that her father is a little weak and thinks that her father is weak and incompetent.
"The way your mother thinks is to teach you how to rely on your husband and the husband is honorable and the wife is noble. In fact, Huier and Dad are also men, but they know very well that there are many men in this world that are not reliable. I don't want my daughter to have no backbone of her own and she fully looks forward to her husband.
My father saw too many cases of couples rebellion in the yamen. People’s hearts are unpredictable. You must remember that you are the most reliable at any time!
Dad naturally hopes that you can marry a good husband in the future, and that the couple is beautiful and loving. But Dad doesn’t want you to be stupid and put yourself in others’ minds.”
Liu Linhai's words once again refreshed Liu Huihui's insights.
Her father actually thought this way? How great would it be if she could hear these words in her previous life!
"You know that you don't rely entirely on the help of the Bai Xiangye family, that's great! That's why Dad told you this. The most fear that you learn from your mother and only know how to cling to power and rely on others. Dad won't say anything to you, because it's useless to say it." Liu Linhai continued.
So that's it! Dad thought that her behavior was different from that of her mother, and he thought that she was not a rotten wood that could not be carved, so he told her specifically.
"Dad, why didn't you tell me before? If you told me like this before I went to Beijing, wouldn't it be better?" Liu Huihui was still a little unwilling.
"Silly girl, your father is so busy that I don't touch the ground every day, so I only have a few days of free time recently. How can I say more to you? Besides, I have been following your mother and complaining to me. How can I listen to my father?" Liu Linhai smiled at her, with a hint of helplessness and self-deprecation in his smile.
"Dad is not capable of being an official. He cannot bring any benefits to the family. That little salary can barely support the family. Your mother used to enjoying the blessings when she was at her parents' home.
I have been living a tight life with my dad, and my dad really feels sorry for her. She doesn't want you to endure hardship in the future, so I plan to ask you to go to your uncle's house to plan a good marriage, and it is hard for my dad to stop her.
After all, here, at most you can marry into a small official family like your father, or find a scholar, and you will be in a life of hardship in the future. Dad doesn’t want you to complain in the future, and blames Dad for not letting you go to that wealthy family to enjoy the happiness.”
Liu Linhai's words are what the real courageous old father could say. In fact, he is also contradictory. He hopes that his daughter will not suffer, but also worrys that his daughter will suffer.
Liu Huihui sighed. Her parents should have no mistake in starting points, and she hopes that she can live a good life and live a worry-free life.
But she still has to live her real life. No matter how she chooses, she actually made a fatal mistake at the beginning. That is, she put too much hope on her husband in her previous life!
She thought the other party was responsible, kind enough, and loved her. As a result, in the place where she should have taken responsibility, they could not support it at all. When they should have been kind, they thought of their own interests. As for love, it was even more illusory and completely non-existent.
"Dad, I understand. My daughter will know what to do in the future!" Liu Huihui looked at her father, and for the first time she felt that the heavy shadows accumulated in her heart for a long time seemed to slowly lift some of them.
The atmosphere was not particularly warm at the family dinner that night because of the previous dispute between her parents. Fortunately, in order to express her joy of her return safely, the parents held back their temper and respected each other as guests.
There are two or three days left for the Chinese New Year, and my uncle, who hasn't been here for a long time, actually came to the door in person.
But there was no need to be confused by Liu Huihui. As soon as he spoke, she knew the whole story.
"I received a letter from my brother-in-law saying that Huier had no news. I rushed to search everywhere and ran all over the official roads in the suburbs of Beijing, but I couldn't find her whereabouts. Who knew that Huier was actually a lucky person and was taken in by Mr. Bai and his house! Now, when I heard Huier come back, I rushed over immediately. I always have to see that the child must be full of his tail, so that I can calm down!" My uncle's eyes were glowing when he saw Liu Huihui, as if he saw a walking mountain of gold.
His intentions were too strong in his eyes, and Liu Huihui felt uncomfortable when he saw it.
"Hui'er, you kid is so lucky!" The aunt Yu, who came with her uncle, held Liu Huihui's hand and smiled warmly.
"I told your mother to come and see you. He was the young master of the Marquis' Mansion! I originally thought that you never came, so that I missed a good marriage? Who knew that you naturally had your blessing! I didn't regard you as the legitimate son of the Marquis' Mansion, but I actually met the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion again!
The one who hit you was the second son of the Prime Minister's Mansion? I heard that he is a very good person and often does something urgent to be righteous! And he has not yet married yet! How about it, is he a handsome talent?"
As soon as my aunt said it, Liu Huihui felt a big alarm in her heart.
Sure enough, her mother, Lan, immediately followed the trend: "Sister-in-law, you don't know! We Hui'er is capable! We opened a clinic and lasted for three months! This clinic is said to be the original pharmacy in the Prime Minister's Mansion! The people from the Prime Minister's Mansion are really kind and lent this pharmacy to us Hui'er!"
"Oh? Is there such a thing? Hui'er even opened a clinic by herself? Didn't she say anything there? That's really good for our Hui'er! However, I'm afraid that Hui'er's clinic will be opened, so their family will not be willing to accept Hui'er?" My aunt was surprised.
Lan's face was a little unfair: "When we left, the eldest son of the Bai Xiang Mansion brought his wife to personally send a bunch of things as apologies! Look, my hairpin is said to be the latest style in Beijing this year!"
"Oh? That's it? Hey, your hairpin is from Zhenbao Pavilion, right? This one is sold alone, only one! Oh, why did the Bai Xiangfu do so generously? Has it taken away our Huier?" Yu's words made Lan's face look very bad.
"Sister-in-law, don't accept it one by one! My Hui'er will never be a concubine! Without the eight sedan chairs, I won't go to any house! The people in the Bai Xiang Mansion are both innocent and Hui'er, and they have nothing to do with it!" For the marriage of my daughter, not being a concubine is the most basic bottom line of Lan's family.
"Oh, sister, you are a very arrogant person! But don't blame me for not reminding you that our family is so small, Hui'er is showing off her face. Even if the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion is interested, he may just be in a position outside. I'm afraid that the concubine may not be able to take the turn!" Yu's words completely made Lan's family angry.
