"Aunt, I respect you, but I hope you can consider Xiu Mei as well," Zhao Xiaosong said, softening his tone.
"What do you mean?" Sun Qiuhua questioned.
"Xiu Mei is my mother's daughter, and that's an unchangeable fact. Even if you don't acknowledge it, it's a done deal," Zhao Xiaosong looked at her and stated.
"What are you trying to say?" Sun Qiuhua narrowed her eyes, staring at him.
"Xiu Mei is a child of the Zhao Family. She should have grown up in the city, not stuck with you in this poor mountain valley," Zhao Xiaosong said.
"Shut your mouth," Sun Qiuhua retorted angrily.
"Aunt, please calm down and let me finish," Zhao Xiaosong urged.
"What more do you have to say?" Sun Qiuhua coldly looked at him and asked.
"Xiu Mei was raised by you; I know how you feel about her. But have you ever thought about what will happen to her if she stays here? What future can she have?" Zhao Xiaosong countered.
"What happens to my daughter is none of your business," Sun Qiuhua scoffed.
"Yes, I admit that whether or not Xiu Mei has a future is indeed not my concern. However, if she comes back to the city with me, she can live a better life, receive a better education, and have a promising future," Zhao Xiaosong explained.
Sun Qiuhua fell silent.
Because Zhao Xiaosong was right. If Xiu Mei stayed in the countryside, she would likely only graduate from junior high school, then attend a vocational school or community college, find a job, get married, and have children.
But if Xiu Mei returned to the city, she could attend a prestigious university and find a respectable job after graduation. She might even marry into a wealthy family.
"Aunt, I hope you'll seriously consider this; after all, it concerns Xiu Mei's entire life," Zhao Xiaosong said earnestly.
"Do you want Xiu Mei to go back to the city?" Sun Qiuhua asked.
"Yes," Zhao Xiaosong nodded.
"I disagree," Sun Qiuhua rejected without hesitation.
"Aunt!" Zhao Xiaosong frowned and looked at her with irritation.
"You don't need to say anything more; I will not agree to let Xiu Mei return to the city," Sun Qiuhua stated firmly.
"Aunt, why are you so stubborn?" Zhao Xiaosong said impatiently.
"I'm not being stubborn; I have my own considerations," Sun Qiuhua replied calmly.
"What considerations do you have?" Zhao Xiaosong asked.
"This is my business, and it has nothing to do with you," Sun Qiuhua said coldly.
"You..." Zhao Xiaosong was at a loss for words.
"Just go, I need to rest," Sun Qiuhua began to usher him out.
"Aunt, I advise you to think it over again," Zhao Xiaosong said with a serious expression.
"I have nothing to consider," Sun Qiuhua replied lightly.
"Aunt, even if you don't think of yourself, you should think of Xiu Mei," Zhao Xiaosong said.
"Of course I will consider Xiu Mei," Sun Qiuhua answered.
"Then you should let Xiu Mei return to the city," Zhao Xiaosong insisted.
"I won't force Xiu Mei. If she wants to go back with you, then I'll let her," Sun Qiuhua stated.
"Are you serious?" Zhao Xiaosong narrowed his eyes, staring at her as he asked.
"Yes," Sun Qiuhua nodded.
"Alright, then let's wait until Xiu Mei wakes up to discuss it," Zhao Xiaosong said.
"Okay," Sun Qiuhua nodded again.
"I'll take my leave then," Zhao Xiaosong said.
"Mm-hmm," Sun Qiuhua responded softly.
Zhao Xiaosong took a deep look at her before turning to leave.
Sun Qiuhua stood in the yard, watching Zhao Xiaosong's figure gradually fade away, a conflicted expression appearing on her face.
In truth, she understood everything Zhao Xiaosong had said.
It was just that she was unwilling to accept it.
She had raised her daughter for over ten years; why should she return her to the Zhao Family?
Moreover, since her sister had entrusted Xiu Mei to her in the first place, she should have been prepared not to see Xiu Mei for a lifetime.
Now, suddenly wanting to take Xiu Mei back—how could things be so simple?
However, Zhao Xiaosong had made a valid point: if Xiu Mei stayed in the countryside forever, she would indeed have no future.
Sun Qiuhua sighed at the thought. Of course, she hoped her daughter would succeed, but she was also reluctant to let her go. What should she do?
Lost in thought, Sun Qiuhua pondered her dilemma.
In the next room, Zhang Xiaoxiao listened intently. It turned out that Li Xiumei was not Sun Qiuhua's biological daughter. No wonder Sun Qiuhua had been so harsh on Li Xiumei in the original storyline; they had no blood relation at all. However, the male lead wasn't Sun Qiuhua's biological child either.
Suddenly, Zhang Xiaoxiao realized something. She recalled the original plot and discovered that the male lead was actually Li Xiumei's brother—her biological brother. This meant that the male lead was a child adopted by Sun Qiuhua from an orphanage.
Wow, this relationship is too complicated, Zhang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but rub her forehead. Moreover, it seemed that the original story mentioned that the Supporting Female Character was the male lead's fiancée, a betrothal arranged by his parents while they were still alive.
If that's the case, then the Supporting Female Character and Li Xiumei are actually cousins? This web of relationships was more dramatic than a soap opera.
Zhang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but exclaim in disbelief. However, the original plot didn't mention who Li Xiumei's biological parents were; it only stated that they had died and that Li Xiumei was adopted by Sun Qiuhua. Could it be that there were secrets surrounding Li Xiumei's biological parents?
Zhang Xiaoxiao's curiosity was piqued. After thinking for a while without coming to any conclusions, she decided to let it go. After all, if the original plot hadn't clarified these matters, how could she possibly figure them out? It was better to save her brain cells for something else.
