Chapter 442

Su Ying had really misunderstood Liu Ling on this point. It was just that the mess at her maternal home recently had hit her too hard. She had given money and effort, yet in the end she was blamed instead. She suddenly realized how good Zhi Xia was to her and her child, and also how difficult it was to be a young daughter-in-law.

When she thought about it carefully, she had always yielded to her sisters-in-law from her maternal home. She cared more about her nephews than her own children, always feeling that if she was more considerate to her parents and elder brother's wife while they lived together, her parents could be more at ease. But she didn't expect that people are always greedy, and her thoughtfulness was met with encroachment.

Looking back now, she also had a young sister-in-law. She had treated her and her child well too, yet she had done the same foolish things as her own sister-in-law, inexplicably making people's hearts turn cold, which didn't turn out well either.

When she thought this way, she realized her own mistakes.

Although she still had some regrets about the house, let alone whether her husband would agree if she opened her mouth now to buy the house at the original price, she herself couldn't get over that hurdle in her heart.

Liu Ling was different from Wang Yue. She cared about face. Even if she was greedy, she needed to pretend.

If she opened her mouth now, it would be no different from asking someone for money. She couldn't do it either.

No matter what others thought, it wouldn't be difficult for Zhi Xia. They had to pretend to be oblivious. An ZhiXian was alone. After the house was ready, he quietly moved in without even a housewarming dinner, let alone a celebration banquet.

However, Zhi Xia and Su Ying still gave him red envelopes, after all he had given them housewarming gifts before.

The second elder brother's house was furnished but empty, not knowing when he could come back for a visit.

The company was also relatively stable, without needing much care. Hong Feng Electronics had also completely got rid of the influence of foreign capital. It couldn't surpass others in reputation, so it sought breakthroughs in technology. Every time other companies were about to catch up, it would have new products and technologies that surprised people.

In the eyes of others, Zhi Xia's family was stable, her career was successful, her children promising, it seemed like a perfect life.

Few people would remember that she was the pitiful little girl from the village whose fate was changed many years ago.

Perhaps even Sister Zhang would feel that the pitiful little girl from her relative's family, whom she wanted to introduce, was given a job by Zhi Xia just because she mentioned her, and it was because she had been in this family for so many years and Zhi Xia gave her face.

Perhaps even Pei Jing, who was right there listening to their conversation, would think so.

But only Zhi Xia herself knew that it was because she recalled her own experience and therefore took a liking to this stranger girl.

When she was humiliated in her childhood, she had also countless times hoped that someone could help her, how nice would that be.

But she didn't meet any good-hearted people who could help her. Now that she had the ability, she was willing to go and help other pitiful people in need.

Without a job, that girl might not be able to bear her parents' beatings, and she might also be forced to marry out someday in the future because of a good bride price.

With a job, she might still be unable to get rid of her father and stepmother's control, but at least she would have more capital and courage to resist.

Just a casual sentence from her could change a person's destiny for life. ...

When the old lady was over ninety years old, she finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell asleep for good on the recliner where the old master used to sit most often when he was alive.

Dying at this age was considered a blessing. Her funeral was also held very grandly.

After attending the funeral, Zhi Xia, with red eyes, was supported onto the car by Pei Jing.

The car drove slowly on the road.

Through the car window, Zhi Xia saw an old man with a hunched back. His hair was messy and his body was emaciated. In the summer heat he was wearing cotton-padded jacket and pants. He was rummaging through the trash can.

When he turned his head, Zhi Xia barely recognized that this was Principal Liang from back then!

He did live a long life this time.

It was a pity that after all those schemes, he gained nothing and suffered himself, making others suffer too.

The corners of her mouth turned up. Her young son next to her asked, "Mom, what are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing that, good and evil will be rewarded in the end. People must have a conscience."

Little Six scratched his head in puzzlement. It wasn't that he didn't understand the meaning of what she said, he just didn't know where his old mom's sigh came from!
