Chapter 49: Is There Still Such a Woman These Days?
In the west room, Lin Dazhi's mother held Bai Weiwei's hand, asking one question after another without pause.
"Weiwei, how did you and our Dazhi meet?"
"What? You met because of Zhou Yue? Oh, no wonder. Then, now that you and my Dazhi are together, will Zhou Yue have any thoughts about it?"
"Sigh, look at my loose mouth, always bringing up the wrong things. My son is already divorced from that Zhou Yue, so what does it matter to her who he's seeing?"
"It's just that you're a young lady, and you're being wronged by being with my Dazhi. My Dazhi is a great guy, but no matter what, he's been married before."
Bai Weiwei let Lin Dazhi's mother hold her hand, answering every question asked. Aside from the matter of the system, she didn't hide a single thing, telling the truth about everything. Moreover, a sweet smile remained on her face the entire time, which made Lin Dazhi's mother feel incredibly comforted.
Hearing Lin Dazhi's mother bring up the topic of his previous marriage, Bai Weiwei smiled and said, "Oh, Auntie, please don't say that. I don't mind at all that Lin has been married before. Actually, I've secretly liked Lin for a long time, but back then he was with Zhou Yue, so no matter how much I liked him, I couldn't show it. Actually, I'm quite grateful to Zhou Yue; it was only because she divorced Lin that I could have this opportunity. Anyway, I've set my heart on Dazhi for this lifetime. Even if he doesn't want me anymore, I will still treat him well with all my heart, and I wouldn't care even if he had another woman in his heart."
"He wouldn't dare! That brat, with such a good girl by his side, he'd dare to look at another woman? Hmph, don't worry, if Dazhi ever dares to do anything to wrong you, Mom—no, Auntie will stand up for you!" Hearing Bai Weiwei's words, Lin Dazhi's mother immediately widened her eyes.
At the same time, she secretly scolded herself for having no filter; the two of them hadn't even reached that stage yet, and she was already anxious to act like a mother-in-law. This girl was probably laughing at her in her heart.
"That, Weiwei, I just heard Dazhi say that you won a big lottery prize, and then you bought him a car and all that. What exactly is going on?" Lin Dazhi's mother asked with some embarrassment.
Actually, when she heard her son mention this earlier, she had wanted to ask, but she felt that since the girl was visiting for the first time, asking about this would make her seem like she cared too much about money, so she hadn't had the nerve to ask at first.
But now, seeing Bai Weiwei's words and the attitude she displayed, she was clearly devoted to her son, so she couldn't hold back the question any longer.
"Weiwei, don't take it the wrong way when I ask this; Auntie can see that you're a good girl. Since you two have the intention to be together, then just be together properly. Although our family isn't wealthy or noble, we get by just fine. If you two really settle down in the future, we definitely won't let you be wronged." Lin Dazhi's mother was still explaining.
But the next second, Bai Weiwei's words made her eyes widen in surprise.
"Auntie, I didn't take it the wrong way at all. Please rest assured, I'm not the kind of woman who only cares about money. I'm with Lin because of who he is. Actually, I've always felt that if a woman truly sets her heart on a man, she should be completely obedient to him and listen to him in everything. People say that a man is the sky of the household, and a woman who marries into a home is like a donkey with a bridle, to be ridden or beaten as he pleases. The rules left behind by our ancestors for thousands of years, how could they be wrong? I don't care about others, but I am that kind of woman. Since I intend to be with Lin, from now on I will let him beat or ride me, and I will be devoted to him alone for the rest of my life!" Bai Weiwei hugged Lin Dazhi's mother's arm and said to her with a beaming smile.
"Oh my, Weiwei, you've said too much; you mustn't say things like that. Who still talks about those old-fashioned principles nowadays? Everything is about gender equality now." Hearing Bai Weiwei's words, Lin Dazhi's mother said hurriedly.
However, despite saying that, Lin Dazhi's mother felt as sweet as if she had drunk honey!
What mother wouldn't want her son to find a good woman who is completely obedient to him?
But in this day and age, women are becoming more formidable than the last; where else could you find a woman like this?
Regardless of what Bai Weiwei was thinking in her heart, just the fact that she could say these words was no small feat!
He Lihua hadn't met a woman like Bai Weiwei in all these years!
"Auntie, I just happen to believe in those old principles. You tell me, the words of our ancestors have been passed down for thousands of years, how could they be wrong? I did win a big prize and got a lot of money, but I feel that this was all good luck brought to me by Lin. Otherwise, why didn't I win for so many years, but as soon as I was with him, I won immediately? So this money was originally meant for Lin by the heavens, it just borrowed my hands. Even I belong to Lin, let alone that money, don't you think so, Auntie!" Bai Weiwei said with a sweet smile.
"Oh, oh, Weiwei, it's not that I'm complaining, but if that Zhou Yue had even half—no, even a tenth of your sensibility, my Dazhi wouldn't have had to divorce her! I'm not saying this just because you're here, but that woman, I couldn't stand her at all. She felt like she was a city person all day long, and wouldn't even bother to talk to you. When I stayed there for a few days, she would complain that I wasn't hygienic, then complain that my way of speaking was uncouth. You tell me, what did she have to be so arrogant about? Wasn't that house bought with my son's money? Did it have anything to do with her? It's just that my son is magnanimous and didn't hold it against her; even after the divorce, he still gave her an apartment. If it were me, hmph, I wouldn't want to give her even half!" Lin Dazhi's mother and Bai Weiwei chatted more and more happily. Thinking of the former daughter-in-law, she couldn't help but start complaining, realizing that there was no comparison—one was like heaven and the other like earth.
"It's okay, Auntie, let me tell you, a woman as selfish and unvirtuous as Zhou Yue will definitely have a bad ending. Just watch, my Lin was right to divorce her. Staying away from such a woman, my Lin's luck will definitely get better and better, more and more prosperous. You and Uncle just wait to enjoy the blessings." Bai Weiwei said with a smile.
"Oh, oh, good, good girl, Mom will take your kind words to heart. You wait here, Mom will definitely give you a big red envelope today no matter what!"
"Oh, Mom, no need, no need, really no need!"
"What you say doesn't count; today, you must listen to me!"
Bai Weiwei had Lin Dazhi's mother beaming with joy. In the other room, the conversation between Lin Dazhi and his father, Lin Guosheng, was much simpler and more direct.
"Tell me the truth, were those cars and houses really bought for you by Bai Weiwei?"
"Dad, the situation is very complicated, so don't ask. Anyway, you know your son hasn't done anything illegal. Bai Weiwei did this of her own volition; without me, she wouldn't have gotten those things."
"Hmm, you're grown up now, you can make your own decisions. Just remember, no matter what, home will always be your support."
"Dad, I know."
"The Zhou Family invited us to spend the holiday together. What do you think?"
"Zhou Yue wants to remarry, I suppose."
"And you?"
"Impossible!"
"Alright, as long as you've made up your mind. Son, no matter what decision you make, the family supports you!"
