Chapter 264 Suffocating Family - Suffering in Silence
During the four years of college, Wang Hehua fed Zhou Leng's classmates and roommates. She was committed to getting to know every friend around her daughter.
All the classmates felt that it was suffocating to have such a mother, only Wang Hehua felt that her daughter's good popularity was due to her own efforts. In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is indeed because of her. If it weren't for her oppression, those classmates would not have been so caring and friendly to Zhou Leng out of sympathy.
What’s even funnier is that Wang Hehua’s handwritten dormitory rules are circulated in various class groups. Even when everyone is playing pranks or teasing classmates, they always show this picture and tell the other person that if you do this, your mom will not love you anymore!
As for Zhou Leng? She was naturally a mama's girl in the eyes of others. She was a good kid who seldom interacted with her classmates and never stayed up all night. She usually spent her days either studying or practicing speaking.
In fact, it wasn’t that Zhou Leng was deliberately abiding by the dormitory rules. She just didn’t want to engage in ineffective socializing.
After graduating from college, people are destined to go their separate ways and become passers-by in life. Looking back, they may not even remember each other's names. So why waste time on these people who are destined not to meet again?
During her four years in college, while others were eating, drinking and dating, Zhou Leng was reading, practicing calligraphy and exercising. Although she did not play around with her classmates, she actively participated in various activities and went to some exhibitions as a volunteer translator to accumulate experience for herself.
After graduation, Wang Hehua wanted Zhou Leng to take the postgraduate entrance examination, but Zhou Leng wanted to work. Only after working and having an economic foundation can he break away from his original family.
Zhou Leng chose to be a high school English teacher.
In fact, according to the school's requirements, it would have been difficult for Zhou Leng to enter the city's prestigious Fifth Middle School. However, due to her outstanding oral and professional course performance, and her service as a volunteer translator in many charity activities during college, she was admitted as an exception.
The day after Zhou Leng signed the contract with the school, Wang Hehua drove back to his hometown with some gifts.
Four years have passed, and the sisters have reconciled, but this does not stop them from quarreling whenever they meet. After all, in their past lives, they have quarreled more often than they have met. They can still say a few words to each other over the phone without meeting.
Wang Hehua naturally went home to show off. It was understandable that she was arrogant and showed off to the fullest. However, she only did this in front of her parents. The other sisters watched her drive back and went back to their own homes. No one paid any attention to her.

Zhou Leng began his career as a teacher.
When You’s grandparents learned about their granddaughter’s job, they were very proud and originally planned to take a bus from the town to the city to see their granddaughter.
As the two were old, You Shengli was worried and went to pick them up himself.
The old couple brought the vegetables they had worked so hard to grow, and had a red envelope in their pockets for their granddaughter. It was noon when they arrived, and the mother and daughter had gone to work. The two of them casually looked around. They looked at the items and layout in the study, and naturally guessed everything.
Grandpa You couldn't help but sigh. But the old couple didn't say anything.
evening.
The whole family had a meal together. This was a sumptuous dinner cooked by the old couple of the You family.
Ever since Wang Hehua found out about her husband's affairs, she has been indifferent to the You couple.
Did the You family know about their son? As parents, they knew, but they kept it a secret. It was just that they had been married for so many years because they felt guilty, so they treated their daughter-in-law and granddaughter very well.
At the dinner table, Grandpa You said:
"Tongtong has really made it big now. You won't have to worry about your life anymore. But grandpa wants to tell you that teaching and educating people is a great virtue. You must be a good teacher. Grandpa and grandma are so happy to have a granddaughter like you. You are the most amazing and precious granddaughter in grandpa and grandma's hearts."
Zhou Leng picked up the drink in his hand and said:
"Don't worry, Grandpa. Your granddaughter won't let you down. Let's have a drink together."
"it is good."
The grandparents and grandchildren clinked their glasses, and the whole family was happy, except Wang Hehua.
Such a warm atmosphere, such a warm atmosphere, Wang Hehua felt particularly dazzling, she couldn't help but sneered:
"My daughter is successful now, all thanks to You Shengli. If he hadn't been indifferent and neglected her education, she wouldn't be as successful as she is today. There are many people in this world who pick peaches when they are ripe, but there are always people who don't see the hardworking gardeners who planted the fruits."
You Shengli glanced at his parents secretly, and said in a flattering tone:
"My dear wife, you are wrong. It is all your credit. If it weren't for your daughter's inability to achieve such success, our whole family would be grateful to you for your kindness. We would also like to have a drink together."
The man's intimate attitude and flattering look only made Wang Hehua feel disgusted. In her own family, she could still cooperate with the other party's image of a loving couple, but at this moment she was inexplicably irritated and did not want to make an effort to maintain any marital love.
Wang Hehua glanced at the other person with his eyes and said unceremoniously:
"Stop being disgusting here. There's no one else in this room. Everyone knows about your disgusting deeds. Why are you pretending to be okay? Are you studying acting?"
The atmosphere was somewhat condensed.
The old couple looked at each other, and Grandpa You said:
"We won't interfere in your conflicts, but today is a happy day, so please say less. Your children are grown up now and have made great achievements. There are better days ahead. You are already so old, and everything is in the past."
Wang Hehua couldn't help but retort:
"That's easy to say. It's really easy to say. What can't your family get through? You are all not good people. If it weren't for my daughter, I would have nothing to do with your family."
You Shengli frowned and said:
"What are you talking about? How do you talk to your parents like that? When have I ever spoken to your parents like that when I went to your house?"
Wang Hehua put down his bowl, patted the table and said:
"What right do you have to talk to my parents like that? Am I cheating on you, or am I going out to support a man? You are a family with bad intentions, so you can eat it yourself. This is my attitude,"
Leave the table and slam the door.
The room was eerily quiet.
You Shengli took a deep breath, looked at his parents and said:
"My affairs are known to both mother and daughter. Wang Hehua has been like this recently. He is either angry with you or with me. I'm sorry, it's my son who is useless and makes you suffer this."
Grandma You's face turned slightly red, she was embarrassed and at a loss, and even a little aggrieved and sad. But she quickly adjusted her mood. She turned her head and stared at her granddaughter. Seeing that there was nothing unusual on her face, she said after a while:
"Don't blame my daughter-in-law. It's our family that has let her down and wronged her. Let Tongtong come back to town to see us when she has a break, and we will come here less often."
Grandpa You patted his wife's hand comfortingly and didn't say anything else.
