Chapter 55: Think of a Solution

Translator: 549690339

Su Wenyue saw that Han Yu had followed her but did not stop walking. After Mrs. Yang had spoken so forcefully, she was absolutely not going to stay. Even if Han Yu came to her, it would be the same. Little did she know that Han Yu would keep following her until they reached the entrance of the village before he finally stopped her.

“What are you doing? Are you here to persuade me to stay? There’s no need. After what your mother said, why would I stay at the Han Family, just waiting to be bullied by all of you? Your mother is obsessed with her eldest grandson and completely unreasonable. The child in Mrs. Wang’s stomach might not even be a boy. Don’t be too pleased too early!” There were some things she couldn’t say in front of the parents-in-law and everyone else, but it didn’t matter in front of Han Yu, and it was a chance to vent the frustration in her heart.

When Han Yu heard Su Wenyue say this, he knew that in that dream, Mrs. Wang probably had a daughter. However, if Mrs. Wang really gave birth to a daughter, given how Su Wenyue is stirring things up now, her days in the future would definitely not be easy. But for the time being, he could only let her be a bit arrogant. Besides, his daughter-in-law’s remarks just now had indeed intimidated Mrs. Wang, making her wary and likely to restrain herself a bit.

“Don’t worry, I’m not trying to get you to go back. I won’t stop you from returning to your mother’s family.”

Han Yu said this, and Su Wenyue felt somewhat surprised and also dissatisfied. She was angered into returning to her mother’s family by the people of the Han Family, and Han Yu didn’t even stop her. He probably didn’t want her to stay at the Han Family and cause conflicts with her mother-in-law. After all, Mrs.

Yang was Han Yu’s birth mother, and between his wife and birth mother, Su Wenyue didn’t feel that Han Yu would choose her.

Han Yu knew that just one conversation wouldn’t be enough to completely eliminate Su Wenyue’s psychological defenses and doubts. Trust between people had to be built slowly over time. Seeing Su Wenyue like this, he knew she must be overthinking and tried to explain in a soft and gentle voice.

“Don’t think too much. This matter is indeed my mother’s fault, she should not have been biased towards Mrs. Wang. I’m not siding with her. But given the current situation at the Han Family, with Mrs. Wang scheming for her brother at your expense, risking even her own child as a bargaining chip, and my mother being muddled over her eldest grandson, staying at the Han Family will certainly bring you no benefits, only grievances. You might as well go back to your mother’s family for a few days. After some time, we could have your folks come to the Han Family to back you up, and then we will see who will dare to trouble you again.”

After hearing what Han Yu had to say, a smile finally appeared on Su Wenyue’s face, “So, my husband, you are helping me plan against my parents. Is what you’re doing right?”

Seeing Su Wenyue smiling triumphantly, Han Yu flicked her forehead a few times, “Who am I doing this for? Stay well at your mother’s home for a few days. When the time comes, I will come to get you.”

“Hey, be gentle. That hurts, you know.” Su Wenyue rubbed her forehead and complained, then said, “Got it. I’m going back to my mother’s house now. You should go back too.”

“Wait a minute, you’re just going back like this?”

“Yes, do you have anything else to tell me?” Su Wenyue thought Han Yu had more to instruct her.

Han Yu shook his head; sometimes this girl was really carefree. She was truly prepared to just walk all the way back to her mother’s house. No one would be at ease letting their beautiful daughter-in-law walk such a long distance alone. Not to mention the safety for a lone woman on the road, even for him it would take nearly two hours of walking, let alone Su Wenyue.

“How could I let you walk back to your mother’s house alone? Wait here for a moment. I’ll speak to the family and send you back in an ox cart.” Since the horse carriage brought from Su Family was driven out by Xiao Xi for errands, Han Yu could only send Su Wenyue back in an ox cart.

When Han Yu returned to the house, Mrs. Wang had already been helped back to her room to rest by Han Lin, but the others were waiting in the room for Han Yu to persuade Su Wenyue to come back.

“Fourth child, how did it go? Where is your wife? Why didn’t she come back with you?” Mrs. Yang got worried and irritable seeing Han Yu come back alone without Su Wenyue, feeling both anxious and upset.

“Your wife is really stubborn. I just said a few words to her, and she really decided to go back to her mother’s family. Tell me, is that how a

daughter-in-law should behave? She can’t even tolerate a little grievance.

When I first married your father, I endured all sorts of grievances! Even now, your grandmother lives with your eldest uncle in the county. Not once has she shown a good face to your mother, and yet I still have to be respectful in front of your grandmother and have never lacked in my filial duties. How come she can’t?”

Mrs. Yang lamented to her son, feeling a little guilty deep down for how things had escalated. After all, she was also not completely reasonable. With the daughter-in-law gone, she wanted her son to understand her and not to hold any grudges against her as his mother.

“Mother, don’t say anymore. If it were someone else, they might not be any better than Lady Yue. After all, we are the ones in the wrong. If you ask around the village, you will not hear of anyone forcing one daughter-in-law to pay another daughter-in-law’s family debt. Lady Yue not making a scene and just going back to her mother’s house is already quite good. Now we just have to hope that the people from Su Family don’t find out and come to our doorstep. If Third Sister-in-law can cause such unreasonable trouble, it would be quite difficult to settle the matter if Su Family takes it seriously. Even if we ask the Village Chief to help, it’s still our family that’s in the wrong.”

Mrs. Yang got anxious as Han Yu put it this way. At that time, she was too worried about the Third Daughter-in-law and the child in her womb and, provoked by the Third Daughter-in-law, had said some harsh words. If the Fourth Daughter-in-law really went back to Su Family and complained, the people from Su Family would surely not let it go easily.

“Then, then what should we do? I was just worried about your Third Sister-in-law and the child in her belly, I didn’t mean to say those words. Fourth child, think of a solution!”

Han Yu had exaggerated the severity of the situation on purpose to get his mother to realize her mistake, but seeing Mrs. Yang so worried, he felt a pang of pity. After all, she was his birth mother. Seeing he had achieved his goal, Han Yu softened his voice.

“Mother, don’t worry too much. Lady Yue is not the type to be unrelenting when she knows she’s right. I’ll go back and talk to her. It probably won’t escalate to that extent. But, mother, you should also think things through in the future. I don’t expect too much from you; after all, there’s no rule that a mother-in-law must indulge her daughter-in-law. However, you should at least be seemly fair to avoid giving people reason to talk. ‘

“I know, it won’t happen again. Now, go and speak to Lady Yue properly, tell her that I also have my faults, and ask her to be more tolerant and not lose her temper. We’re all one family; is there anything we can’t discuss calmly? Also, it’s a long way to Su Family, and it’s not safe for your wife to travel such a distance alone. Hurry up and catch up to escort her. Even if her family finds out, it might calm them down a bit.”

Han Yu agreed and went out, hurrying after Su Wenyue in an ox cart. Mrs. Yang finally felt a bit relieved seeing her son chase after his daughter-in-law..
