Parsed with an automated reader. The content accuracy is not guranteed.

She was already content that her grandpa even gave her father’s pension to her. Not to mention, her mother-in-law secretly gave her a box full of jewelry as a wedding gift.

In terms of her in-law family, she felt the most comfortable with her mother-in-law and couldn’t find any sort of familial feelings with the other members. That’s also why she knew she had to get married to Zhang Guo Qing before her grandparents’ health got any worse—if they passed away before she got married her eldest aunt-in-law would definitely scheme for her to get married to someone from her maternal side of the family and no matter how well off her grandparents were, she would definitely not want to stay there for any longer.

Mother Zhang worriedly glanced at Zhou Jiao: “Jiao Jiao ah, no matter what, your parents are your parents. And now that you have a child, can you imagine a mother who wouldn’t love their child? When your dad passed away, your mother’s heart couldn’t take the sadness.

Your mother was probably afraid to see hints of your father from you. Your mother was only an eighteen year old lady who couldn’t accept the truth. If she really didn’t care, she wouldn’t have kept sending things to your grandparents.

Even the neighboring villagers know that the grandparents from your paternal side of the family are practically the ones raising the whole family. Your mother’s money is practically the main source of income for your grandparents. Besides, if your mother wasn’t such an affectionate or righteous person, she would’ve married someone else earlier on. She was already a beauty from birth, it wouldn’t have been too hard for her to find another family. That year she got married to your father, they were both wearing formal military clothing and it caused a huge sensation to even villagers from miles away. They were such a matching couple. No one has seen a couple as fitting as those two.

It’s been so many years now, not to mention your mother, even the villagers all think it’s a pity and get sad when they think about how it all ended.

If they were still here ah, you would be the city’s most treasured daughter. I heard that when you were born, your father specially sent a telegram just to say how happy he was to get a daughter. It’s also our Xiao Wu’s fortune to be able to marry you.

Zhou Jiao chuckled and said: “It’s ok, I never blamed her. I don’t even know what she looks like, even if we were to pass by each other on the road- we would be strangers.

Besides, even if I were to stay at the Lin’s- I would only be there as a visitor and not as a family member. It wouldn’t be my family or my house. And who knows how those uncles and aunts are like. My household registration address may be in the capital with them, but I’ve certainly never seen them come pick me up before.

If they really wanted to, they would have done so early on. Tomorrow we can just announce the good news to grandpa and that will be good enough. Grandpa has connections and he can spread the word for us through his war friends.”

Zhou Jiao hurriedly changed the topic. To Zhou Jiao, the memories of the original Zhou Jiao of this body didn’t matter much to her nor did they have an influence over her. What was most important was that she was already married, has a child, her lover was beside her and her family was complete.

If her mother was still by herself in the future, then she would take care of her by sending her money as she has been sending it to Zhou Jiao. As for the other problems, she will face them as they come.

Her mother has been avoiding reality for more than ten years, it wouldn’t be impossible for her to continue avoiding it for longer. How would you pull out someone who has been living in their own world for so long? Her grandparents have probably tried all sorts of methods already to no avail.

As for her higher class maternal grandparents, they didn’t really need anything from her. They have already funded her until she grew up, how could she still expect them to pick her up and bring her to their compound to live?

Besides, her mother has already transferred the properties under her father’s name to Zhou Jiao. But who would truly want to live in a place where they didn’t feel at home?

Perhaps in the eyes of the Lin family (her mother’s family), this pair of father daughter were the ones who ruined their daughter. How fortunate she was that the original Zhou Jiao had already married to Zhang Guo Qing—otherwise what could she possibly do after she transmigrated over?

Zhou Jiao has been thinking about bringing up an issue to Mother Zhang for a while, and as a way to reveal some of her thoughts to her. She has mulled about it for a while, but she has still decided to talk to her about it and to see how she would react to it.

In order to improve the relationship between mother and daughter-in-law, it was imperative for her to bring up her future plans to her Mother Zhang. Furthermore, based on the bias Mother Zhang has towards her and her husband—she wasn’t worried that Mother Zhang would get jealous.

Most importantly, they have been lacking too much in terms of food and clothing. In the long run, it will only attract jealous eyes and rumors if they were to still receive resources from her mother’s family. It was best to be as lowkey as possible. What she will focus on now is her family after marriage because this is where she will continue her life.
