Chapter 489 - 489: The Choice After Calculating the Pros and Cons

He reached out to help her up, but Madam Zhang reacted faster than him. She immediately pounced over and hugged Chu Qingxiang. The mother and daughter sat on the ground and cried.

Madam Zhang scolded angrily, “The Song family is really inhumane. My good daughter has been harmed. If they wanted to get close to the Wang family before. Why did they have to talk to the Chu family about marriage?!”

“Now that they’ve ruined my daughter’s reputation, they still want to take all the benefits.”

“Father, Mother, what should we do now?” The more Madam Zhang thought about it, the more indignant she became. When the matter fell on her daughter, Madam Zhang, who had always been strong, was a little lost. She wanted to make a scene and even go to the Song family to teach them a lesson, but she was worried about her daughter’s reputation.

If a person was worried, all their actions would be restrained.

“Chu Lin, help them up,” Madam Liu rubbed her forehead and said softly.

Chu Lin quickly nodded and helped the mother and daughter to sit down on the chairs beside them.

Chu Zhiwen looked at his old wife. This matter was giving him a headache. It was clearly a happy occasion. How did it turn into a scandal? “Tell me, what should we do about this?”

“Ask Song Lu to come over so we can ask him alone first,” Madam Liu said decisively.

“Qingxiang, I know you like Song Lu. If you insist on marrying him, the Song family will treat you badly in the future. As your family, there’s a limit to how much we can help you.”

“At most, they will only stand up to help you when you suffer great grievances.”

“Your grandma and even your mother can’t go to the Song family every time for trivial matters.”

“You have to be mentally prepared. This is your choice. Even if you suffer a loss after getting married, it’s still your choice today. I’ll give you a month to consider it. After the national mourning period is over, you can tell me your decision.’

“Madam Zhang, you are also a daughter-in-law. You should know the difficulties of being a wife and a mother. Tell Qingxiang properly. There is no need to rush. There is still some time.” Madam Liu sighed helplessly. She had previously approved of Chu Qingxiang and Song Lu’s marriage, but now that this matter had happened, she no longer approved.

Although a scholar’s fame could bring glory and benefits, it would be difficult for a woman to live by only depending on that.

She had noticed that the Zhang mother and daughter valued fame and reputation. Previously, she only hoped that nothing unexpected would happen and the matter would pass.

Now that things had turned out this way, the trace of joy in her heart was long gone.

Madam Liu could not say that she regretted it, but she felt that this kind of thing had finally happened.

“Third Daughter-in-law, send me back to my room to rest.” Madam Liu stood up and no longer looked at Madam Zhang and her daughter. She had already made her stance clear. If Qingxiang still insisted on marrying Song Lu, as her grandma, how could she stop her?

Ye Muyu stood up and walked to Madam Liu’s side, holding her hand.

When she reached the door, Madam Liu paused for a moment. “Qingxiang,” she said faintly, “What do you think of my life?”

This was a clear indication.

Ye Muyu understood what Madam Liu meant. She had lived a comfortable life and raised a child who could read. She did not take any shortcuts. She had only chosen the right person, which was why she had a smooth life. At least she did not suffer much after she got married.

No matter what Chu Heng’s future achievements were, the first half of her life had already passed, and Madam Liu was the most envied person in the village. This was enough.

Sometimes, people had to learn to accept their fate.

Happiness was never something that could be won through gambling. It was just the result of weighing the pros and cons..
