Back to the 80s: A Pampered Marriage
"Third Brother, you don't need to worry about this." Zhao Guofu waved his hand at Zhao Guoqing, not wanting to discuss the matter further with him. Instead, he focused intently on Zhao Guoqiang, refusing to let it go easily. "Eldest Brother, you know very well that our parents' greatest wish in this life is to enjoy some happiness in the city. Our father has already lost that opportunity; do you really want to watch our mother end up with the same regrets?"
Deep down, Zhao Guofu instinctively thought that Zhao Guoqiang was not as heartless as he appeared. He still remembered how, when Zhao Guoqiang was in Willow Leaf Village, he would tacitly allow them to take advantage of him, even knowing they often did so.
Compared to Zhao Guoqing, Zhao Guoqiang had always been seen by Zhao Guofu as a "good person" and an obvious soft touch.
Zhao Guofu had once treated Zhao Guoqiang in a way that allowed him to benefit from him, and now he still harbored hopes of gaining more from his elder brother.
"Isn't our mother's greatest wish to live out her days surrounded by you all?" Zhao Guoqiang, who had once been easily manipulated by Zhao Guofu and would never voice a refusal, was now different. Although bringing this up right after Grandfather Zhao's passing was not tactful, Zhao Guoqiang firmly countered Zhao Guofu: "Father didn't even get to see Zhao Lei one last time before he died; that must be his greatest regret! We should keep Zhao Lei at home and not let him go out anymore. That would make our mother much happier."
There was no denying that Zhao Guoqiang's words were absolutely true and hit the nail on the head, leaving no room for Zhao Guofu to argue.
Zhao Guofu was left speechless by Zhao Guoqiang's rebuttal. When he tried to speak again, he saw that Zhao Guoqiang had already walked away.
Standing there watching Zhao Guoqiang's retreating figure, Zhao Guofu felt that his elder brother had changed—changed into someone he no longer recognized.
Zhao Guoqiang had indeed changed. As the manager of a supermarket now, he had started doing business. Could he still afford to be easily taken advantage of like before?
Therefore, there was no need for Zhao Guofu to harbor any more thoughts about taking advantage of Zhao Guoqiang. Such thoughts would only become a nightmare haunting him in the future.
Zhao Guofu's conversation with Zhao Guoqiang had not been discreet from others. Naturally, Zhao Jin quickly learned about it. In response, Zhao Jin curled his lips in disdain.
Who doesn't have a few troublesome relatives? But the troublesome relatives in their family could be considered the worst of the worst. At the very least, other people's relatives wouldn't be like the Zhao Guofu family, who are intent on taking over their house in City.
To be honest, Zhao Jin currently has more than enough money. If it were relatives and family, Zhao Jin would definitely not hesitate to let everyone live a good life together. Like Qi Feng, and her own older brother, Second Brother.
However, with the Zhao Guofu family, who have always had ulterior motives, Zhao Jin is sorry to say that she has no intention of cooperating at all.
Even if she were to be a fool, it wouldn't be like this. Zhao Jin believes she hasn't been foolish enough to that extent and is not prepared to let Zhao Guofu and the others have their way.
"Zhao Jin!" Without Zhao Guofu calling out to Zhao Guoqiang, there was now another person coming towards Zhao Jin—Zhao Ying'er.
Zhao Jin stopped in her tracks, turned around, and looked at Zhao Ying'er, who had caught up from behind.
"Zhao Jin, can we talk privately?" After a long time apart, standing in front of Zhao Jin again made Zhao Ying'er feel inferior.
They used to be equally beautiful; she was even more radiant than Zhao Jin. But now, she had long since lost her former charm.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ying'er couldn't help but feel resentment and anger towards Zhao Jin.
It was still that same unchanging issue. If it weren't for Zhao Jin stealing her marriage proposal, the one enjoying a good life with Qi Zheng right now would be her, not Zhao Jin.
Deliberately forgetting how eagerly she had wanted to push the Qi Family marriage onto Zhao Jin back then, Zhao Ying'er only focused on what she wanted to think about now, which was truly ridiculous.
"I don't have time." Zhao Jin didn't think there was anything good left between her and Zhao Ying'er. Especially regarding the topic of Qi Zheng; Zhao Jin was even less inclined to waste words with Zhao Ying'er.
Some people are useless no matter how much you engage with them. This is especially true for Zhao Ying'er. Zhao Jin knows enough about Zhao Ying'er's temperament and nature and naturally does not intend to waste time.
"How come you have no time? Are you that busy? Zhao Jin, are you deliberately avoiding me? Is it because you feel guilty about me that you can't face me? You..." At this moment, Zhao Ying'er quickly added more drama to herself and started to argue with Zhao Jin. Looking at Zhao Ying'er with a half-smile, Zhao Jin directly interrupted Zhao Ying'er's accusations, sneering, "What do I have to be afraid of? I have no guilt towards you and there's no need to avoid you. Although I don't know what you're imagining again, I'm sorry, but I'm not interested and don't want to waste my time here entangled with your nonsense."
"I'm being nonsensical? Zhao Jin, do you have any conscience? Don't you feel ashamed or embarrassed at all? If it weren't for me back then, could you marry Qi Zheng? You stole my marriage and stand here so brazenly shouting at me, do you have no conscience at all?" Zhao Ying'er was about to explode with anger, stubbornly insisting on clarifying this matter with Zhao Jin.
"Wife, let's go." While Zhao Ying'er wanted to entangle herself further with Zhao Jin, Qi Zheng had no intention of giving her that opportunity. He grabbed Zhao Jin's hand and prepared to take her away.
If someone else suddenly interrupted her conversation with Zhao Jin, Zhao Ying'er would definitely curse loudly. But since it was Qi Zheng, she couldn't help but lose her earlier momentum, and her voice softened: "Qi Zheng...".
Qi Zheng ignored Zhao Ying'er's call, his gaze completely avoiding her, entirely disregarding her presence.
Zhao Ying'er's face could already be described as pale. She wanted to say a few more words to Qi Zheng, but unfortunately, he gave her no chance. She could only watch helplessly as Qi Zheng took Zhao Jin away without acknowledging her.
In fact, Zhao Jin didn't pay much attention to Zhao Ying'er.
She had heard about the aftermath between Zhao Ying'er and Wu Feng. She knew that the wife Wu Feng married afterward was quite formidable; every time Zhao Ying'er went looking for trouble, she ended up worse off. The most serious incident resulted in her being pinned down and beaten badly.
Since then, Zhao Ying'er had learned her lesson and dared not go to the Wu Family anymore.
As for Wu Feng, he had been desperately trying to get a divorce. Unfortunately, even now, he hadn't succeeded in doing so. To some extent, it could be considered tragic.
Of course, Zhao Jin would absolutely not sympathize with Wu Feng. On the contrary, the more tortured Wu Feng was, the more pleased she felt.
In such a situation, facing the entanglement of Zhao Ying'er, all Zhao Jin could think was that there must be something hateful about a pitiful person. Unfortunately for her, she felt no sympathy at all and had no intention of getting involved.
Zhao Jin and others did not stay long in Willow Leaf Village and quickly returned to the City. They were busy with business and needed to look after the shop, but also because there were always a few annoying presences in Willow Leaf Village that greatly affected their mood.
However, no matter how the outside world was battered by wind and rain, the new life that Zhao Jin and Qi Zheng had created together was filled with bright sunshine and was exceptionally beautiful as before.
As the children grew up, the relationship between Zhao Jin and Qi Zheng not only did not diminish but gradually deepened, becoming more intense.
According to Qi Ze, his elder brother's daily life with Sister-in-law was completely on a rhythm that could make people envious; it was too sweet.
However, this kind of scene was very comforting in the hearts of the elders.
Among all the younger generation, what reassured them the most was Zhao Jin and Qi Zheng as a couple. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Zhao Jin and Qi Zheng were there, their family would remain intact.
Therefore, the elders naturally hoped that Zhao Jin and Qi Zheng's relationship would continue to improve. Zhao Jin and Qi Zheng did not realize that they had unknowingly become the backbone that brought everyone peace of mind. However, both Zhao Jin and Qi Zheng had great confidence in each other regarding their ability to maintain the family's tranquility and harmony, firmly believing that their feelings would last forever without change.
In fact, Zhao Jin and Qi Zheng were not only particularly important in the eyes of the elders but also held an unquestionable status among their peers.
For instance, Qi Ze had never thought about leaving this family to start his own business. His idea was that he would be willing to work for his elder brother and Sister-in-law for a lifetime, even if he wasn't paid wages; it didn't matter. After all, he was determined to stick with his elder brother and Sister-in-law.
Although it might seem a bit shameless, Qi Ze's words were indeed heartfelt and sincere.
Moreover, after graduating from university one after another, both Qi Yuehong and Qi Rui chose to return to the City for work, with none of them venturing out to explore elsewhere.
In this regard, both Qi Yuehong and Qi Rui shared similar thoughts. They wanted to be closer to their family; even if they didn't live in the same building, it was fine as long as they were in the same city. Only then would they feel secure enough to work without any worries.
For the choice of Qi Yuehong and Qi Rui, Zhao Jin and others naturally supported and agreed wholeheartedly. They were reluctant to have the two children far away from them, and now they didn't even have to worry about it; Qi Yuehong and Qi Rui took the initiative to return to City, which was the best outcome.
Zhao Lei ultimately did not achieve anything significant. It wasn't that he lacked ability, but rather that he never received the opportunity.
The passing of Grandfather Zhao not only dealt a blow to Grandma Zhao but also frightened Chen Cui. Both of them were adamant about keeping Zhao Lei in the village, insisting that he should never leave again.
Zhao Lei argued with his family for a long time but was unsuccessful. In the end, feeling forced, he could only stay at home, continuing his previous life of idleness.
With Zhao Lei's return, Qi Juanjuan inevitably developed other thoughts and frequently sought opportunities to get close to Zhao Lei.
These matters had nothing to do with Zhao Jin. In this world, various strange events unfolded in different places, and all Zhao Jin cared about was living her own life well.
With a fulfilling love life and a happy family, it seemed that all Zhao Jin was missing now was simply waiting for her three children to grow up, get married, and have children.
Holding onto such thoughts, Zhao Jin's days remained quite pleasant.
However, when Guo Guo and Dou Dou grew up and brought their girlfriends home, whether Zhao Jin could maintain her current calmness was uncertain. After all, the future is still unknown until it happens; it would be better for Zhao Jin to wait and see what unfolds later!
