Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life

Chapter 1148 - 1137: Favoring Daughters Over Sons

Ye Qiu left, and everyone knew that his heart had long been hurt. Now, in his heart, his biological parents were not even as important as his in-laws.

Han Hui felt sadness in her heart. After all, this was the child she carried for ten months. Who could be blamed for today’s situation? Only herself and her husband for being too biased, for being overly indulgent with their daughter Ye Qing, while neglecting their son Ye Qiu too much.

It could even be said that it wasn’t mere neglect. The daughter had done so many excessive things to her brother, yet why did no one stop it? Why didn’t she and her husband believe him even a little back then?

Han Hui reflected on the past, feeling waves of sharp pain in her heart. What kind of life did her son actually live in this family? Had anyone ever loved him? Had anyone ever listened to his needs?

No one. He was always the one being wronged in this family. Whenever the family needed someone to do something, it was always the son first, but when there were benefits, the daughter was the first to receive them.

Why didn’t she notice her son’s grievances before, but now she did? It’s simply because it didn’t involve her own interests before. When she did the household chores, and when it was her being ordered around by her daughter, she suddenly realized that they had indulged their daughter too much.

If her son hadn’t gone to school in Jing City back then, if he returned home to work after graduation, would she and her husband have realized their mistakes?

Han Hui kept pondering this question. She found that it was indeed highly possible. It turned out that not only was the daughter selfish, but she and her husband were too. They both owed their son, Ye Qiu, a lot.

No wonder the son disliked this family, that he even had to go back to his in-laws’ place just to have a meal. Perhaps only there did he feel the love and trust of family!

Clearly, she had a chance to repair the relationship with him. If, back then, when her son brought his wife home, she and her husband hadn’t opposed so fiercely. If they had attended their wedding, if she had helped with their newborn grandchild...

But there aren’t so many ifs. Once an opportunity is missed, it’s simply gone. It was she and her husband who pushed their son to others with their own hands. She should be thankful that, in such a family environment, her son still didn’t grow up twisted. Even after they treated him like that, he was still willing to give so much money for their retirement. If she had shown even the slightest concern, would he have been willing to return?

Han Hui looked at the new clothes bought for Ye Qiu in the room, smiled self-deprecatingly. Yes, now her son is capable, successful, and has people who truly love him. He no longer needs to worry about trivial matters, and now her attempt to compensate him is unnecessary.

As the saying goes, there is no medicine for regret in this world. Although the son is their closest blood relative, the emotional bond had long been worn out.

She didn’t blame him. When putting herself in his shoes, she felt she wouldn’t have done any better.

"How could he leave like this? No matter how well his in-laws treat him, they are still outsiders. What if his wife changes her heart one day, wouldn’t he be left with nothing? We always hope for his well-being," Grandpa Ye exclaimed, clearly feeling that Ye Qiu’s actions were too cold.

"Enough." Ye Peilin shouted in a low voice, "What good have we truly done for him with what we made him do? Let him live however he wishes now. If he doesn’t want to come back, no one should disturb him."

The four elders exchanged looks, ultimately not daring to speak further. But they all felt uneasy inside. Towards Ye Qiu, they had an unspeakably complex feeling at this moment, but towards Ye Qing, they felt both anger and resentment.

Everyone truly loved her, right? Even the final retirement funds were given to her, and the result is that the child grew up without a sense of gratitude. For the sake of a man, she broke with the family without hesitation, without considering everyone’s situation. This child really has no heart, all the love from the past went to the dogs.

Now, they too are old. They once neglected their own grandson for this granddaughter, and had quite a few disputes with their daughter-in-law. Now, nearing the end of their lives, they hadn’t left anything for their grandson, but rather rely on him and their daughter-in-law to take care of them, making the four elders feel ashamed.

If only they could turn back time, they would definitely not be as biased as before, but there are no ifs.

Seeing the four elders off, Han Hui and Ye Peilin looked at each other speechlessly. After a long while, she finally spoke in a hoarse voice, "Tomorrow, let’s visit Ye Qiu’s in-laws."

It took Ye Peilin a long time to reply: "Okay,"

After pausing, he added, "Buy more things for our daughter-in-law, grandson, and her parents. We shouldn’t take the money in this card; if our son doesn’t want it, we’ll give it to our daughter-in-law."

"But we’re already out of money."

"Let’s first apply for a credit card, then find an agent to sell this house. It’s just us two in the future, there’s no need for such a big house. We’ll move to a smaller one, and the extra money will go to the second family."

Han Hui opened her mouth, but didn’t object. With their daughter causing such a big issue, she knew her husband’s brothers and sisters-in-law must have opinions. The gap would eventually have to be made up by them. A smaller house would be fine. Didn’t they live like that when they were poor before?

She could soon retire and receive her pension, and her husband still earned a salary every month. As long as they didn’t let their daughter exploit them endlessly as before, life wouldn’t be too difficult.

The next day, Han Hui and Ye Peilin nervously rang the doorbell of Ye Qiu’s in-laws’ house.

"Who is it?" He Xixian asked while going to open the door. Seeing the people outside, she was stunned for a while before reacting and inviting them in.

"Mom and Dad, why are you here? Please come in."

Her smile was somewhat unnatural, and how could Han Hui and Ye Peilin not know, but their smiles were the same, unsure how to react. After all, being over fifty, admitting mistakes to their daughter-in-law and her parents at this age was indeed a bit embarrassing.

Hearing the address, Mr. and Mrs. He were also taken aback, then politely invited them in. As for being affectionate, thinking about the grievances their daughter suffered in the Ye Family, they couldn’t really manage that, but considering their son-in-law’s behavior, they couldn’t bring themselves to drive this couple away either.

Han Hui and Ye Peilin were well aware of their embarrassment, but who else could they blame for the mistakes they made?

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, sorry to bother you," Han Hui said with an apologetic smile. "Our sudden visit is quite rude."

"Not at all, but Ye Qiu is out on an errand. Please, have a seat first." Mrs. He invited them in, then said to her daughter, He Xixian, "Go check if the child is awake."

Upon hearing this, Han Hui, who had just sat down, immediately stood up again and cautiously said, "May I go with you to take a look?"
