Chapter 36: Broken Dreams
At more than two o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Qin Yurou left the Lin family under the escort of a special person. Mrs. Lin then went to call Lin Shengtian.
Half an hour later, Meng Ruoxi came back from shopping, carrying a large bag of organic vegetables and other daily necessities. Her hands were bruised, but she had a happy smile on her face.
Aunt Wang took what she had in her hand and whispered, "Young lady, Madam asked you to go upstairs to find her." β
"Okay, got it!"
Meng Ruoxi went upstairs, walked to the door of Mrs. Lin's room, and knocked lightly, "Mother-in-law, are you looking for me?"
Mrs. Lin immediately replied: "Come in and speak." β
Meng Ruoxi pushed the door and walked in, Mrs. Lin sat on the sofa in the bedroom, motioned for Meng Ruoxi to sit down too, and then said, "Ruoxi, you have been married to the Lin family for four years, right?"
Meng Ruoxi naturally replied obediently and meekly: "Hmm!" She is a person who doesn't talk much, and she listens to what her mother-in-law says.
Mrs. Lin continued to look at Meng Ruoxi and said, "You should know that there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest. You haven't done anything in the past four years, shouldn't you take a good review?"
Meng Ruoxi didn't expect her mother-in-law to talk about this matter today, she couldn't have children, and the Lin family knew about it, what did it mean to mention this matter at this time?
"Mother-in-law, you also know that I am not in good health and cannot have children. Meng Ruoxi was in a low mood and spoke in a heavy tone. Every time she mentioned it, she was in pain.
Mrs. Lin didn't beat around the bush, "Since you can't do it, how about making room for someone who can do it?"
Meng Ruoxi was stunned after hearing this, she didn't know what she had done wrong, why would her mother-in-law make such a request? In addition to not having a child in the past few years, she has handled other big and small things properly, and she has personally handled everything in the family, even after the death of her father-in-law, she is thousands of times stronger than Lin Shengtian's biological son, can't she really have a child so heavy?
After pondering for a long time, Meng Ruoxi said with difficulty, "Mother-in-law, Shengtian said that it doesn't matter if you can't have a child, as long as our husband and wife are happy, isn't it enough?"
"You are really naΓ―ve, are you happy now? Shengtian can go home and live for a few days a week, one day, or two days?" was written on Mrs. Lin's face, and she was really sad for Meng Ruoxi's stupid innocence. Her husband even has a child outside, but she doesn't know it, and she thinks that the man is still the little boy who loved her with all his heart?
Meng Ruoxi didn't know who he was trying to deceive, and muttered: "Shengtian, he's too busy with work and doesn't have time to take care of his family, so it's okay for me." In fact, she is not completely without feelings, in the past two years, Lin Shengtian has touched her only a handful of times, not to mention care and concern, and even the opportunity to speak is very rare, she has just been living in a dream and deceiving herself.
"Do you know that Shengtian is out there and has children with other women, but you are still here holding on to your so-called love?"
Madame Lin ruthlessly broke the ivory tower she had built for herself, tearing up the last vestiges of her illusions. She looked like she had been hit by a bolt from the blue, her expression was sluggish, and she didn't know what else to say or do, "Mother-in-law, I'll go down and prepare dinner if there's nothing to do." After speaking, Meng Ruoxi stood up and prepared to leave.
And Mrs. Lin is going to wake up Meng Ruoxi completely today, no matter who it is, she should do it, "You sit down first, I still have something to say." β
