Chapter 312: Are you Abandoning me?
Translator: CokeZero Editor: Rainystars
Lady Xu felt unsettled about Lu Jiao’s suggestion, “That won’t do. Master Xie would get angry.”
Lu Jiao shook her head, “It’s fine. In my family, I make the call.”
Lady Xu thought back to the ways Scholar Xie had looked at Lu Jiao and she couldn’t help but to feel sad. Still, she felt obligated to caution, “Lady Lu, be careful. You cannot trust men. He might be nice now but he may not be this way forever.”
In the past, Su Dahai was just as nice yet after these days, he turned into someone so different.
Lu Jiao carefully said, “Lady Xu, honestly, you’re partially at fault.”
Lady Xu stared at Lu Jiao in disbelief. Beside them, Su Jinxiu also stared.
Lu Jiao explained, “You shouldn’t have tolerated Su Dahai as much as you did. Why didn’t you stop him the first time he stepped out of line? For him to be where he is today is partially due to your lack of backbone. Why didn’t you stop him from letting his parents live with you? You could’ve revealed your objection and you could’ve asked him to build them a house instead. You could’ve even sent them money on a monthly basis. You shouldn’t have allowed them to come and live with you.
I believe at the time, he wouldn’t have fought hard to have his parents come live with him. Later, when his mother asked him to get a concubine, you should’ve objected. If he dared to get a concubine, you could’ve kicked out that whole family. Instead, you agreed. His family was never nice to you must be because you stayed quiet and did everything a good wife does in silence.
Therefore, you are also at fault for what happened today. You must remember one thing – what’s right is always right, and what’s wrong is always wrong. When something is going wrong, you must do what you can to stop the damage. You must not tolerate what crosses your boundaries.”
Lu Jiao only said so much because she thought of Lady Xu as a friend. Lady Xu was a capable person to have taken care of such a big family while helping out with the business. The only weakness of hers was her ability to endure almost everything. Having endurance was a double-edged sword.
If one day, she truly does become a shop manager, that wouldn’t do. This was why Lu Jiao said so much.
Lady Xu and Su Jinxiu were shocked. As they thought it through, however, they knew Lu Jiao’s statement had its truth.
People shouldn’t only know how to retreat. They’ll keep being pushed back if that was all they did.
The hatred Lady Xu felt towards Su Dahai strangely dissipated a lot.
“I didn’t handle everything right. I am not going to hate him and I am not going to curse him. I just hope that we will both find happiness.”
She then started to pack up her clothes but left behind her jewelry.
If it weren’t for the fact that her clothes were tailored for her, she wouldn’t even have packed those. She wanted to start fresh.
The daughter and mother duo finished packing and left the room.
Su Dahai saw them with their baggage – it made his heart hurt.
He recalled the happy times he had with them before his parents and siblings moved in with him.
Inside the living room, mother Su saw the pieces of baggage Lady Xu and Su Jinxiu carried and shouted, “Xu Dou, did you take what belongs to the Su family?!”
Lady Xu sarcastically snickered at her and opened her baggage. It turned out to be just a pile of clothes. The jewelry, money, and the contract Su Dahai signed years ago were on the table next to Su Dahai.
“You see this clearly now? I’m not taking a single cent from your family. You think everything I’ve given to this family is worth less than this bag of clothes?”
She closed her baggage back up. Su Dahai saw how resolute Xu Dou was and a thought popped up in his head. He had a feeling that Xu Dou was not going to come back.
Though her exterior was gentle, she was very stubborn. The perfect example was the time when she chose to marry him despite her family’s objections.
Su Dahai stood up and opened his lips, “Xu Dou, I…”
He wanted to ask her to not leave him.
Before he could speak, however, Lady Xu interrupted, “Enough now. Let’s go
our separate ways. I wish you all the best. Our marriage has taught me one valuable lesson – just because you are sincere and loyal, doesn’t mean you’ll get them in return.”
She then left the house. Su Jinxiu followed her mother.
Behind them, Officer Zhao, Lady Lu, Xie Yunjin, Lu Jiao, and Lu Gui all left as well.
The Su family was almost close to applauding. Only Su Dahai stared at his wife and daughter walking away
When Lady Xu and Su Jinxiu were close to getting out of the gate, footsteps approached them. It turned out to be Lady Xu i s son, Su Liangchen.
Su Liangchen was crying as he stared at his sister and mother, “Are you abandoning me?
When Lady Xu recalled the moment her son told her to accept Liu Xiang as his father’s wife, she laughed.
“I’m not the one abandoning you. You are the one who abandoned me. I reckon
I am not your mother- Liu Xiang is.”
What kind of son would tell his own mother to be a more virtuous wife? What kind of son would tell his mother that his father deserved more wives if his concubines were with child?
The whole reason why Lady Xu tried to hang herself was mostly because of her son. Her son studied all his life yet ended up so stupid. He didn’t even pass the exam to become a child pupil, yet he quoted books all the time and told his own mother to be more virtuous. Was he really her son?
Those memories made Lady Xu pick up her pace without glancing at her son again. Su Jinxiu wanted to say something but in the end, simply walked away
Su Liangchen stared at them. How did this happen? The books he read said women should be virtuous and allow concubines in the family. How come when it came to his mother, she chose divorce?
Lu Jiao was speechless. Though she didn’t have any details on what happened, she could tell that this boy did something to hurt Lady Xu greatly.
Lu Jiao glanced at Su Liangchen and then back at Xie Yunjin. She exclaimed, this man was going to be the future First Assistant after all. He truly was more liberal than others.
Xie Yunjin noticed her staring and inched closer, “Something wrong?
Lu Jiao thought of the offer she made and whispered, I ‘Lady Xu and Jinxiu have nowhere to stay tonight. I told them they could stay with us. Are you okay with
Xie Yunjin shook his head. Why would he object? The house belonged to Lu
Jiao.
“Sure, you can keep them around as long as you want.”
Lu Jiao smiled. The family headed out and Lu Jiao invited them over.
When Officer Zhao and Lady Lu saw that, they sighed in relief.
They originally wanted to offer Lady Xu and Su Jinxiu to stay with them but their house was rather small.
Now that Lu Jiao had made that offer, they had one less thing to worry about.
Officer Zhao said to Lady Xu, “Lady Xu, it’s not safe to walk around at night.
You should stay with the Xie family.”
“Thank you, Officer Zhao and Lady Lu.”
Every outsider was nicer to her than her own man. Lady Xu was sullen.
She was still worried that Xie Yunjin was not okay with it and looked at him.
Xie Yunjin expressed right away, “In my house, we do as my wife says..”
