“As a married woman returning to my natal home, I don't know how many times my sister-in-law has squeezed me for money. Mother, you don't even dare to support me in front of my sister-in-law. Could it be that I have to go to Yangzhou, my husband's family, to get your support?”

Left Yingchun's words left Yingchun's mother speechless. Thousands of words were stuck in her throat, unable to be spoken or swallowed. Finally, her face turned purple like a eggplant, and she could only raise her hand to cover her face with a handkerchief and sob.

Zuo Yingchun impatiently turned her head and said to Old Madam Zuo and Yang Ruochun, "Crying won't solve any problems. My mother is just like that. Back then, she was obsessed with the wealth and dowry from Yangzhou and rushed me into marriage,"

“If I had my way, even if Cousin Mo didn't like me, I wouldn't marry far away. I just want to find a suitable match in Huaguang County and get married. I don't care about being the third wife of a wealthy merchant from Yangzhou or having a retinue of maidservants everywhere I go. I really don't care!”

"Girls like us are better off not marrying too far away. You were right to think that way."

Perhaps some girls would say, "A thousand miles apart is still connected by fate. As long as we love each other, why not run away with him to the ends of the earth?"

Where there is love, there is home. With him, everything is enough.

As for this statement, Yang Ruohua could only smile.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

There are some things that you don't understand when you're young, but as you get older, you naturally understand them.

Now you understand why your mother so desperately tried to stop you from marrying far away. It wasn't that she wanted to break up your love affair. The things she considered will become clear to you when you yourself become a mother after moving away.

>

No matter how much others say, you won't be able to hear it. You have to experience it yourself.

If you marry far away and the man treats you as a treasure, your family life is comfortable, and your children are well-behaved, healthy, and lovable, then you've had great luck.

>

But if that man doesn't treat you as well after marriage as he did before, with financial difficulties and being excluded by those around you.

When you have a fight with your husband, and you pull open the door to find that there is nowhere for you to go because your family is so far away, you will regret your choice.

Well, enough of that. Listening to Zuo Yingchun's story, Yang Ruohua took a sip of tea, pulled herself back from her thoughts, and continued to be a quiet listener.

Zuo Yingchun told Zuo Lao Fu Ren, "Aunt, I am truly ashamed today. It has been five or six years since my niece came back to pay New Year's greetings to you, but she ended up crying and making a fuss, which is very inauspicious and caused you trouble. My niece feels deeply ashamed..."

Left Madam waved her hand and smiled kindly: “Silly child, although we are aunt and niece, you grew up beside me since you were little. I treat you like my own daughter.”

"You're not happy in your husband's home now, and it makes Auntie's heart ache. Auntie sees the puffy, swollen look on your face and is worried sick. What's wrong with Bean Sprout's father? Should you also find a doctor to give you a thorough checkup?"

Here's the translated text, keeping only the content within the tags: Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Hearing this, Yang Ruqing also shifted her gaze back to Zuo Yingchun.

Left Yingchun was indeed a bit swollen, with dark circles under her eyes and brown spots on her face. Her endocrine system was probably out of balance, and menopause might come early.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The entire flower was almost wilting.

Left Yingchun shook her head: "I don't need it. I know my own situation well enough. As for Dou Dou's father's illness, one doctor has one opinion. My in-laws might know, but they haven't told me the truth."

“Your in-laws are really selfish! As a daughter-in-law, you rely on your husband to get by in your husband's family! How could they hide this from you? This is not right!” Old Madam Zuo said angrily.

Left Yingchun's face darkened: "Although Dou Dou's father was messing around with men when we first got married, he's been treating me and our daughter well these past two years. I don't want him to die so young. But if he really does pass away, then our lives will be truly difficult."

Left Old Madam said: "In such a big household, if a man doesn't support you and make decisions for you, it will be difficult for you to establish yourself in the house. The maidservants and servants are all shrewd people, they can tell what you're thinking just by looking at how you eat."

"If the men were to leave, then this house full of orphans and widows would truly be pitiful."

"If it were some spiteful person, being kicked out wouldn't be surprising at all!"

“Don’t cry anymore, crying won’t help anything! You two need to figure something out soon!” Old Madam Zou said this to Yingchun.

Ying Chunniang stopped crying and looked at Mrs. Lao Zu: “My own daughter is having a hard time, so as her mother, my heart is certainly not comfortable. But my in-laws are a well-known family in Yangzhou.”

>

"Let me be honest with you, sister. Before I got married, our family and theirs, though related as cousins, were practically strangers. My family and my cousin's family only interacted during festivals to beg for handouts."

"So when they came to me and said it was an arranged marriage between our families, I felt like I'd won the lottery!"

“After all that, it turns out my uncle is not only a homosexual but also sickly and short-lived. Who knows, maybe he was born with an incurable illness! That's why my brother-in-law and sister-in-law came to me, wanting me to marry off my daughter to him. It must be like that!”

Left Madam was so angry that she slammed the teacup in her hand onto the table, "I told you to come up with ideas, not to curse your uncle like this!"

>

Yang Ruqing couldn't help but speak up: "That's right, the rice is already cooked. We should focus on the future instead of dwelling on past mistakes!"

Left Yingchun shook her head: "You guys just don't tell my mother those things, if she understood, she wouldn't have forced me to marry far away in the first place."

"I've got my own life, and I know what I'm doing. I have plans, I don't count on my parents." she said.

"As a woman, what could you possibly arrange?" Old Madam Zuo asked again.

Zuo Yinchun said: “I have dowry, even if Dou Dou’s father is gone, my daughter and I can still live on that dowry. When I raise Dou Dou up, and let her marry a husband, we can also support ourselves.”

Left Old Madam shook her head. "You are still too young, thinking everything is too simple, Qing'er, you help me tell her, she is just like her mother, simple-minded."

Yang Ruqing was furious.

>

Left Yingchun looked at her with anticipation: "Mrs. Luo, my aunt is right. I am indeed simple-minded. When I was young, I was impulsive and treated you as a rival. Now that I think about it carefully, I misunderstood you. Let me apologize to you!"

Yang Ruqing curled her lips: "Let's not talk about the past, I didn't take it to heart at all. But now, your situation is really bad, you should think about it carefully."

A genius in one second:
