Chapter 489: Making a Decision After Weighing the Pros and Cons
"What are you doing, Qingxiang?" Chu Lin was startled and instinctively stood up.
Reaching out to support her, Zhang reacted even faster and rushed over to embrace Chu Qingxiang. The two mother and daughter sat on the ground crying.
Zhang angrily scolded, "The Song family is truly despicable. My good daughter has been harmed like this. They initially wanted to climb up to the Wang family, so why did they propose marriage to our Chu family?"
"Now they've tarnished my daughter's reputation and still want to take advantage of us."
"Father, mother, what should we do now?" Zhang became increasingly distressed as she thought about it. The situation had fallen on her daughter, and even the usually dominant Zhang now felt somewhat lost. She wanted to cause a scene and even thought about confronting the Song family but she also worried about her daughter's reputation.
When people have concerns, all their actions become constrained.
"Eldest son, help them up." Chu Liushi rubbed her temples and said softly.
Chu Lin nodded and went over to help the two mother and daughter up, then sat them down on nearby chairs.
Chu Zhiwen looked at his wife. This matter was giving him a headache. It was supposed to be a joyous occasion, but it had turned into a scandal. "What do you think we should do about this?"
"First, we should call Song Lu over and ask him privately." Chu Liushi said decisively.
"Qingxiang, I know you like Song Lu. If you insist on marrying him and if the Song family mistreats you in the future, as your maternal family, our help will be limited."
"At most, we might be able to intervene when you suffer great injustice."
"For the trivial matters in daily life, even your mother and I won't have a reason to constantly go to the Song family."
"You need to be prepared psychologically. This is your choice. Even if you suffer setbacks after marriage, it will be because of your own decision today. I'll give you a month to consider. After the mourning period is over, tell me your decision."
"Zhang, as a daughter-in-law, you should also understand the difficulties of being a wife and mother. Talk to Qingxiang and don't rush her. There's still some time." Chu Liushi sighed weakly. She had previously agreed to the engagement between Chu Qingxiang and Song Lu but now that this had happened, she no longer supported it.
Although a scholar's fame could bring honor and prestige, living solely for the sake of reputation was difficult for a woman.
She had noticed Zhang and her daughter's emphasis on fame and reputation. She had only hoped that nothing unexpected would happen and that everything would go smoothly.
Now that things had turned out like this, she no longer felt relieved.
Chu Liushi didn't regret her decision. She simply accepted it. This kind of thing was bound to happen sooner or later.
"Third daughter-in-law, take me back to my room to rest." Chu Liushi got up and didn't look at Zhang and her daughter anymore. She had already made her position clear. If Qingxiang still insisted on marrying Song Lu, as her grandmother, how much more could she do to stop her?
Ye Muyu got up and walked to Chu Liushi's side, holding her hand.
As they reached the door, Chu Liushi paused for a moment and said softly, "Qingxiang, how do you think your grandmother's life has been?"
This was a clear hint.
Ye Muyu understood Chu Liushi's meaning. Her life had been comfortable and she had raised children who could read. She hadn't taken any shortcuts, she had just chosen the right person, so everything had gone smoothly. At least she hadn't suffered much after marriage.
No matter what achievements Chu Heng might have in the future.
In the first half of her life, Chu Liushi was the most envied woman in the village and that was enough.
Sometimes, people just had to learn to accept their fate.
Happiness was never obtained by chance, it was simply the result of weighing the pros and cons and making a choice.
