Chapter 190: She Brought It On Herself
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At that time, Yu He had just gotten pregnant and she had never visited her father. In the past, she had also advised her father to quit gambling, but it was useless. The accumulation of disappointment made her disheartened. Because she was worried that Mr. Yu would pester Zhang Ji through her, she was determined not to see her father. Hence, she did not even see her father for the last time.
After knowing that her father had jumped off a building, Yu He was too sad and muddle-headed all day. Zhang Ji helped to deal with Mr. Yu’s funeral. In a moment of negligence, Yu He fell down the stairs and the child was lost. Moreover, the two of them did not have a child for many years after that.
They were almost 40 years old when they had just given birth to a younger son. He was just 10 years old this year.
Zhang Chu was a very cute child. During this period of time when Zhang Li lived here, he would think of ways to make her happy when he saw that she was unhappy.
However, the more this was the case, the more tormented Zhang Li felt.
When Yu He got into trouble, Zhang Li was in a passionate relationship with Jing Mo and was ready to lay her cards on the table with her family.
Jing Mo did not get the recognition of the Zhang Family. Zhang Li’s father and two brothers did not like Jing Mo. This made Zhang Li very uncomfortable and even became a little extreme.
After Yu He lost her child, no one in the Zhang Family blamed her. Everyone was comforting her, especially her second brother, Zhang Ji. He would only blame himself for not taking good care of Yu He.
Zhang Li felt very unbalanced. There was once when she quarreled with her father. Everyone in the family was present, including Yu He.
In her anger, Zhang Li said without thinking, “You’re targeting me. Why can you accept Yu He and not Jing Mo? Jing Mo’s family is innocent. They’re much better than the daughter of a gambler, right?”
Yu He’s face turned pale when she heard Zhang Li’s words. Her second brother, who had always doted on her, also looked at her viciously.
Zhang Hui’s temper was even worse. He picked up his clutch and hit Zhang Li’s leg.
It was also because of this that Zhang Li was even more at odds with her family. She did not treat Yu He well either. Every time she saw her, she would look at her with disdain.
Right now, she had nowhere to go. Big Brother’s situation was special. She could not stay at Big Brother’s place for a long time and could only stay at Second Brother, Zhang Ji’s place.
Zhang Li was very embarrassed every time she saw Yu He. However, Yu He seemed to not hate her at all and treated her very well. 𝒷ℯ𝓭𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓮𝓵.𝒸ℴ𝓶
“Lili, what do you think of this handkerchief I embroidered?” Yu He showed Zhang Li an indigo handkerchief.
Zhang Li could not tell if it was good or bad. She only felt that this thing was good-looking, but it was a little too young.
Seeing Yu He looking at her expectantly, she could only nod. “Second Sister-in-law’s embroidery is very good and beautiful.”
Yu He was a little embarrassed by the praise. After so many years, her personality did not seem to have changed much. She was quiet and beautiful, did not fight or snatch, and did not even speak loudly to others.
The gentleness that was engraved in her bones was deeply rooted.
Zhang Li could not remember who was evaluating Yu He, but now that she thought about it, it was really spot-on.
“Isn’t this pattern a little too young?” Yu He muttered to herself. “Will Zhang Ji be suitable to use it? But if Little Chu uses it, this color is too old.”
Yu He was in a dilemma. Zhang Li did not answer. She just looked at the scenery outside the window and gradually fell into a daze.
If she did not know Jing Mo, would she be like Yu He?
That shouldn’t be the case. She didn’t have such luck. Moreover, even if she got married, she wouldn’t be like Yu He, who hadn’t changed for decades. She was very wild.
This was her father’s evaluation of her when she was young.
But now, she had no ambition at all. She didn’t even want to think about her career and love anymore. She only hoped that her only daughter could forgive her.
However, this was also an extravagant hope. She deserved all of this.
Zhang Li’s eyes turned red as she thought about it. Yu He looked at her and suddenly said, “Lili, if you’re bored, why don’t you learn embroidery from me?”
This was not the first time Yu He had made such a suggestion, but Zhang Li rejected it every time. This time, she did not reject her immediately and only said she was considering it.
However, before she could come to a conclusion, the sound of the door opening suddenly came from the first floor. She heard Zhang Chu’s excited voice from the second floor.
“Mom, I’m back. I want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs.”
Yu He was caught between laughter and tears, she stood up and went downstairs.
Zhang Li also got up and went downstairs. Zhang Chu rushed over to hug Yu He. When he saw Zhang Li behind Yu He, he went to hug her too.
Zhang Li hugged the child’s soft body and her eyes were a little sore.
“You’re back.” Yu He smiled at Zhang Ji.
Zhang Ji nodded and walked over to hug Yu He as if no one was around..
