Marriage First, True Love Later



190 Mother-daughter conversation

Mother Zhou’s Mahjong partner, the wife of the fifth hospital’s Hospital director, was really quick in her work. She gave a reply almost ten minutes after mother Zhou hung up the phone and asked them to bring the person directly. They had already contacted doctor li and could arrange for all the examinations to be done in the afternoon.

This matter took a dramatic turn. Father and mother Lin, who were still questioning Lin Li an hour ago, had now arrived at the hospital. At this moment, they were sitting in the hospital’s temporarily arranged Ward, waiting for the various examinations.

Father Lin and mother Lin were sitting in the ward, while Lin Li and Zhou han went out to handle some necessary procedures. Because they had to take care of Xiao bin, mother Zhou didn’t come over.

Father Lin and mother Lin were sitting side by side on the sofa in the ward, frowning deeply as if they were thinking about something.

After a long while, mother Lin asked, ” “Elder Lin, what do you think of this?”

Although they didn’t say it explicitly, the two of them had a tacit understanding. They both knew that he was talking about Lin Li’s sudden marriage.

Father Lin was silent. He didn’t turn to look at her, but just shook his head slowly.

Mrs. Lin stayed silent for a while as well. She seemed to have thought for a while, then nodded and said seriously, ” “I think it’s fine.”

Hearing this, father Lin turned to look at her and asked with a frown, ” you see? fine. Let me ask you, what can you tell from just one meeting? ”

I think he’s good to our Xiao Li. Didn’t you hear what he said? he said that he would give Xiao Li a lifetime of happiness. What do we want from raising our daughter? we just want her to be safe and happy. There’s someone who’s willing to be good to her and make her happy. What else do we have to object to? ” Mother Lin said.

it’s just a woman’s opinion. You said that you would give Xiaoli a lifetime of happiness. That kid from the Cheng family also said the same thing back then. But in the end, what did he give Xiaoli? ” Father Lin said, his tone a little heavy. He felt bad for his daughter. He had seen how much damage Chengxiang’s incident had caused to Lin Li, and he felt bad for her in his heart. He had treasured his daughter for more than twenty years because he hoped that after he got married, there would be someone else to treasure her, to take his place and pamper her in the future, not to make her cry.

“It’s different!” Mother Lin didn’t argue with him and insisted on her own point of view. this Zhou han is different from Chengxiang. Look at how he talks to us. Look at his attitude. It’s completely different from Chengxiang. Chengxiang is too gentle and has a bold tone, but his attitude is always unclear. Look at how Zhou han talked to us just now. His attitude was so firm, and he’s quick to do things. The moment he heard that we were going to find Doctor li for a checkup, he immediately made arrangements. Isn’t this because of Lin Li? that’s why he’s good to us. I believe that he’ll really be good to Lin Li.

“He’s married and has a child. How good can he be? I won’t let my daughter suffer like this.” Father Lin’s attitude was very clear.

actually, what Zhou han said just now isn’t without reason. Although he’s remarried for the second time, it’s just like what he said. It’s because he’s experienced marriage that he knows how to cherish it and how to get along in a marriage. He’s a few years older than our Xiaoli and knows how to take care of people more. There’s nothing bad about that.

Mother Lin was still insistent on her own thoughts. She was also doing it for her daughter’s good. She didn’t think that sticking to the old rules and insisting that first and second marriage was the best for her child. Back then, they all thought that Chengxiang was good to her daughter, but her daughter had been with him for ten years, and in return, she was covered in injuries. Now, she no longer asked for anything from that man, whether he had money, a decent job, or a beautiful house. As long as he was sincere to Lin Li, she wouldn’t object and would definitely support him.

“What do you know? do you know how to read people? You just know that he’s not a second Chengxiang!” Father Lin snorted.

Father Lin’s question stumped her. Indeed, it wasn’t easy to judge a person. Back then, she didn’t expect Chengxiang to be such a person. After thinking for a while, she raised her head and looked at father Lin. then I’ll ask Lin Li later, okay? Lin Li should be able to feel it herself, right? ”

Father Lin glanced at mother Lin and was about to say, ” you ran ran-” but just as the words were about to come out of his mouth, the door that was originally closed was pushed open.

Outside the door, Lin Li and Zhou han pushed the door open and entered. The series of procedures that needed to be handled had already been completed. Lin Li smiled and said to father Lin and mother Lin, ” “Dad, mom, what are you guys talking about?”

Father Lin and mother Lin exchanged a look, and the colleague turned to look at his daughter with a smile and said, ” “No, nothing.”

As expected of a married couple of nearly 30 years, even the speed of their speech was the same.

Lin Li didn’t intend to get to the bottom of it. She just nodded and said, ” the procedures have been completed. Dr. Li is already here. He asked dad to go over for the examination.

Father Lin nodded and got up to go over.

Lin Li reached out and wanted to help her father over, but she was stopped by mother Lin. Mother Lin pulled her hand over and looked at Zhou han, who was standing at the side, and said, ” that, Zhou han, you can go over with old Lin. I have something to say to Lin Li.

mom, I’ll go with dad, ” Lin Li said hurriedly. we’ll talk later.

“No need, no need. Just stay here and chat with me for a while.” Mother Lin grabbed Lin Li’s hand and didn’t let go. Then, she said to Zhou han, ” “Zhou han, can you?”

Zhou han pulled the smile on his face and nodded. “No problem, I’ll go with uncle.” Then, he turned to father Lin and said, ” “Uncle, let’s go over.”

Father Lin glanced at mother Lin, but didn’t say anything. He turned and left the ward.

After Zhou han and father Lin left the ward, mother Lin then pulled Lin Li to sit on the sofa.

Lin Li looked at her mother in confusion and asked, ” “Mom, what did you want to tell me?”

Mother Lin took Lin Li’s hand and placed it on her lap, patting it gently. She then looked up at Lin Li and suddenly frowned. She reached out to hold her face and said with heartache, ” why are you so much thinner than before? I can only feel your bones.

Lin Li chuckled. She didn’t want her mother to worry, so she said coquettishly, ” “I didn’t lose that much weight.” He reached out and covered his mother’s hand, pulling her hand down without a word.

Mother Lin sighed softly. sigh …

Lin Li looked at her worriedly and said, ” is mommy worried about daddy? don’t worry, it might not be. Daddy will definitely be fine. Don’t they say that the heavens will help the good? don’t worry.

Looking at her, mother Lin nodded and patted her hand gently. Then, she looked up at her and asked seriously, ” “Xiao Li, tell mommy, why did you marry this man?”

Lin Li was stunned. She couldn’t react to how the topic had suddenly jumped to her. For a moment, she really didn’t know how to answer.

Mother Lin’s expression slowly turned serious when she saw that she was silent. She looked at her and asked tentatively, ” “Don’t tell me you married in a fit of pique!” In fact, this was not impossible. Back then, she had been hurt so deeply by Chengxiang. After all, he was her daughter, and she could feel that he was passive and insecure.

Lin Li quickly shook her head and explained, ” no, mom, don’t think too much. I didn’t give up on myself. I know what I’m doing. Don’t worry. I will take responsibility for my life.

“Really?” Mother Lin was still a little uncertain. She only had one daughter. Of course, she would be happy after washing. When she was like that last time, as her parents, they didn’t feel much better than her. They were also very sad.

Lin Li nodded her head vigorously. yes, Yes, really.

that’s good, that’s good … mother Lin nodded, then held her hand and asked, ” “Does he treat you well? Does it hurt you?”

Lin Li was stunned for a while before she realized that the ‘he’ her mother was referring to was Zhou han. She nodded awkwardly and said, ” “He, he’s good to me.” In fact, if they were to really talk about their cooperative relationship, Zhou han was indeed good to her. There was nothing that she was dissatisfied with their current position in their cooperation.

Looking at the expression on her face, mother Lin thought that she was embarrassed. The corners of her mouth curled up and she continued to ask, ” “What’s his temper like? he won’t lose his temper easily, right? also, do you know what happened to his previous marriage? It can’t be because of his temper or some other reason that it’s bad, right?”

Lin Li quickly shook her head and explained, ” no, no. His previous marriage wasn’t his fault. It was his ex-wife’s fault.

Hearing this, mother Lin finally let go of her new husband and nodded. that’s good. Then, he thought of something else and asked worriedly, ” does his family treat you well? will his child reject you or something? ”

Thinking of Mother Zhou’s care and love for her, and Xiao bin’s awkward little personality, she smiled gently and shook her head,”Everyone in the Zhou family is very good to me. Xiao bin is a very obedient child, he won’t be hostile to me. Really, they are all very good to me.”

Mother Lin looked at her seriously, as if she was trying to see if she was comforting herself so that she wouldn’t worry. After a long time, she seemed to be sure that the smile on her face was genuine, and then she nodded in relief. I’m relieved to hear what you said.

Lin Li felt a little guilty and held her mother’s hand tightly. She said apologetically, ” “Mom, I’m sorry. I’m already so old, but you still have to worry about me.”

Mother Lin glanced at her and smiled. silly, which parent doesn’t worry about their child? no matter how old you are, when you have a child in the future, I’ll still have to worry about you.

Lin Li also laughed. She bent over and hugged her mother tightly, whispering in her ear, ” “Mom, thank you.”

Mother Lin chuckled as she patted her back.

The two of them hugged like this for a long time. Just as Lin Li was about to get up and let go of her mother, she heard her mother whisper into her ear, ” “Lin Li, do you love this man?”

Lin Li was stunned and didn’t say anything for a long time. When she wanted to speak, mother Lin had already let her go.

Looking at her mother, Lin Li didn’t want her to worry. She opened her mouth to explain, ” mom, it’s ran ran.

Mrs. Lin covered her mouth with a hand, looked at her and shook her head, ” “You don’t have to tell me. Just know it in your heart.”
