Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander

Chapter 1540 - 1019:

In the past, Old Master Yu and Old Madam Yu would rotate living with several families, but since she married into the Zhou family and got her parents a more spacious house, the two old folks have been staying at their place more often.

In such a household, the one who should have been the master, Cong Qiuying, turned out to be the least respected outsider. If ranked by order, the hierarchy in this family would be—Old Master Yu, Old Madam Yu, Yu Guangjiu, Yu Gang (the eldest brother), Yu Qiang (the second eldest), Yu Xiang, Wang Meiyu (the eldest sister-in-law), Li Xinlan (the second sister-in-law), Yu Mei, and then Cong Qiuying.

If Uncle and Auntie came over with their nephews, nieces, and all, Mom’s status would fall even further.

A woman’s standing in her husband’s family is given by her husband, that saying is completely accurate, because Yu Guangjiu’s disdain for his wife led to everyone in the Yu family, including the younger generation, disrespecting Cong Qiuying.

If not for Mom, Yu Tao would absolutely not have let the Zhou family help get them such a large house.

Originally, their home was a small two-bedroom suite. When the Zhou family was rehabilitated and returned properties, they gave a housing compensation to their family, so her parents and siblings moved into this large four-bedroom suite over a hundred square meters.

In that era, such houses were extremely rare, it was not just about having money to live in one; it was a symbol of status!

Then, of course, Grandpa and Grandma moved in.

At that time, she didn’t stop them because she felt, everyone knew her closest person was Mom, and she created this condition for the family, so out of respect, everyone should be more respectful to Mom.

Initially, everyone indeed gave her this impression, until two years later when she still couldn’t get pregnant, their true colors showed, and she realized that what she saw was always false, Mom’s alleged higher status was just part of their act.

She was very angry then, but inviting deities is easy, sending them away is hard; such family shame, she didn’t want the husband’s family to know, so she had to endure it.

Unexpectedly, her endurance only harvested their intensified behavior.

If this time, she lets it pass lightly again...

Suddenly, Yu Tao made up her mind, she looked towards Yu Guangjiu indifferently: "Dad, why did you marry my mom?"

Yu Guangjiu didn’t expect his daughter would ask him this question, froze for a moment, frowned: "Is there a why? When people are of marrying age, they get married."

"Why was it my mom?"

"How is there a why?" Yu Guangjiu snorted coldly, "Had I known she had such a temperament, I wouldn’t have married her even if she begged me, always siding with outsiders, she’s a jinx!"

"So, you’re saying you regret marrying my mom?"

Feeling something amiss, Yu Xiang shouted: "Second sister, parents’ matters should be solved by them, what’s the point of you getting involved? If your future kids meddle in your and your brother-in-law’s marriage, would you be happy?"

"Mom, do you regret marrying my dad?" Yu Tao looked at Cong Qiuying with a particularly serious expression.

"I..." With a sigh, Cong Qiuying smiled bitterly, "What’s there to regret or not regret, every woman goes through this? Marrying a good man is one’s fortune, marrying someone who doesn’t love you, you can only blame your bad luck.

But, having you kids, Mom doesn’t regret one bit, Mom feels this life is quite worthwhile, Taotao, don’t worry about Mom in the future, live your life well.

You’ve already given enough for the Yu family, from now on, no matter what anyone asks of you, don’t agree..." Then, she looked at Yu Guangjiu, "I know, you’ve always been disdainful of me.

Back then, if my family hadn’t asked for a small dowry and no one else was available, you wouldn’t have married me. After marriage, you’ve found fault with me everywhere, no matter what I do, you think it’s wrong.

You constantly compare me with other people’s wives, always thinking other wives are good. I’ve wasted so many years with you, I truly feel guilty, so let’s divorce, I won’t drag you down anymore."

"In your dreams!" Yu Guangjiu glared at her with red eyes, "You want to leave me and tag along with our daughter for a good life? Dream on!"

"Yes, to let my daughter have a good life, I must divorce you, I must separate her from this family. Are you her relatives?

It’s one thing to take advantage of her, but even scheming against her husband; is this what humans do? Luckily, Taotao married a decent man, otherwise, wouldn’t she be driven to death by you?

In the past, I always thought that as time goes, as you age, you’d be different from when you were young. Now looking at it, I was utterly foolish.

In the past, I did think about divorcing you, but to give the children a complete family, to stop people laughing at them, I endured it all.

Now, the kids are grown, I have nothing to endure, whether to enjoy life with my daughter or suffer myself, it’s all more comfortable than living with you all!"

"Mom..." Yu Tao looked at Cong Qiuying with a face of delight; she initially didn’t want things to get tense because she was afraid Mom couldn’t let go of this family, but now, it seems she truly underestimated Mom!

"Taotao, Mom is weak, but not muddleheaded, Mom also knows what you care about..." With a sigh, Cong Qiuying smiled bitterly, "Mom also knows you’re reluctant to see Mom suffering alone, but compared to Mom dragging you alone, and getting dragged by this big family, let’s be selfish this time."
