Han Jingjing's age of eighteen was only one factor in Han's mother's change of attitude.
The more important factor is naturally due to the strange era. It is obviously outdated to continue to cling to the old ideas and adhere to the Sunshine Era.
Of course, Mother Han did not reveal the most important factor.
This time the whole family mobilized and came to Star City. Party is just a fancy way of saying it. In the final analysis, there are still people within the family who can't sit still and are fanning the flames to put collective pressure on their family.
Mother Han said she was not worried, which was a lie.
The old Han family also has several daughters in her generation. They are her husband's sisters, Han Jingjing's aunts.
None of these daughters took the marriage route.
It cannot be said that these sisters-in-law have a bad life, but without exception, they are all trapped in a circle, and they are definitely not very happy.
This kind of marriage is only for the outside world to see. When it comes to the happiness of the marriage, it is completely out of the question.
If it were the Sunshine Age, this kind of life would not be particularly bad. At least the dignity would still exist, and the wealth would still remain the same.
But now we have entered a strange era. Each of these sisters-in-law has been raised as a canary. Once the bird cage is broken and no one feeds them, their ability to survive is almost negligible.
In troubled times, once they are impacted, they are like beautiful vases, which may break into pieces if touched even slightly.
Mother Han never wanted her daughter to follow this old path.
In strange times, this is destined to be a road without any guarantee.
What's more, my daughter grew up in Star City and has been independent since she was a child. She has not been pampered according to the rules of wealthy aristocrats. If she really throws herself into the circles in the capital, the sharp edges in her character will inevitably cause strong discomfort.
Whether this is a blessing or a curse is difficult to say.
The soil and water support the people.
For this girl Jingjing, at least for now, Star City is a more suitable place for her.
As for going to the capital, maybe she still needs some experience.
Mother Han was extremely determined. No matter what, she would never agree to the request of those in the family and let Jingjing go to the capital this time.
Listening to their tone, it seemed that they were doing it for Jingjing's good. The stage in the capital is bigger, which is conducive to Jingjing's growth. She has a brighter future in the capital.
It's true in theory.
But the reason why the old Han family asked Jingjing to go to the capital was obvious. They didn't just intend to train Jingjing to be what they wanted to see, and then wait until a certain time, sell it for a price, and sell it out in exchange for the resources the old Han family needs.
Mother Han never wanted her daughter to become a sad deal and a ridiculous bargaining chip like the previous generation.
As the mother and daughter were talking, the door of the villa opened and two women's figures walked out.
One is Han Mu's sister-in-law, Jingjing's aunt.
The other one is Han Jingjing’s aunt.
These two women are several years older than Han Mu. Compared with Han Mu, these two women are obviously more fashionable in their clothes.
"Hey, sister-in-law, why don't I see you in the house? Are you two hiding outside for a while?" The eldest sister-in-law spoke first.
The eldest aunt also followed: "Brothers and sisters, everyone has come all the way to Star City to congratulate your family. Isn't it appropriate for you two to hide like this?"
These two people had a normal relationship with Mother Han at first, and they were the first to object to Mother Han's association with Han Yiyang. These two people also had strong opinions.
However, one of them is the eldest sister-in-law and the other is the eldest sister, and they have the right to speak in the old Han family.
Mother Han was young at the time and didn't have much of a following, so she naturally suffered a lot of injustice.
Twenty years later, although Han Mu's original knot has not been resolved, it is not easy to show off her face when facing these two people, let alone break her face.
These two are not successful enough, but they are definitely more than capable of failing.
Apart from anything else, when they returned to the capital, as long as they spread some rumors and made some slanderous remarks in front of the old man, life would not be easy for themselves and their husbands.
Although the old man is not confused, he is also very optimistic about his second son.
However, people close to you who have been around you for a long time always blow the wrong wind, and it is inevitable that some moths will come out.
Mother Han is a smart person, so naturally she doesn't want to be tough with these two.
"Sister-in-law, how can you hide from everyone? Jingjing said she was feeling dizzy and had tightness in her chest. I'll accompany her to get some fresh air."
Of course Han Jingjing knew that these two people were the most notorious in the family, so she could only pretend to smile and greet them: "Auntie, eldest aunt."
My aunt took advantage of the situation and took Han Jingjing's hand, and exclaimed: "My second daughter is a good girl. Look at her. Is she more energetic than our sisters when they were younger? If this is revealed in the capital, people who want to propose marriage will not be allowed to do so." Break through the threshold of our old Han family."
The eldest aunt glanced at Han Mu meaningfully, and said as if she was pointing out something: "Her aunt, the second son's family may not be willing to listen to what you are saying. A daughter raised in Star City may not necessarily look up to the capital. "
"Can't you? The majestic capital is the capital of the Great Zhang Kingdom. Isn't it better than this Star City?" When the aunt mentioned the capital, the undisguised pride in her tone was the same as when she mentioned Star City. A touch of contempt, forming a sharp contrast.
At this point, the aunt rolled her eyelids and glanced at Mother Han: "From the second child's family, you don't still hold grudges about what happened in the past and plan to carry on the grudges to the next generation, right?"
This guy is obviously used to being domineering.
When you are happy, you will be called sister-in-law, but when you are unhappy, you will immediately fall out and become the second child’s family member.
Mother Han didn't want to offend them, but she didn't mean to let them rub it. She smiled lightly: "Sister, you are serious. It didn't matter much at the beginning, so there is no question of holding a grudge or not. How can we continue it to the next generation?"
"Really?" Auntie seemed a little unconvinced, "Then how come I heard that you have been pushing back and blocking Jingjing's decision to go to the capital?"
"Auntie, you can't let my mother take the blame. I am very happy in Star City and have no plans to go to the capital for the time being. My mother is very open-minded and respects all my decisions."
Han Jingjing was naturally unhappy when she saw her mother being criticized and couldn't help but stand up to defend herself.
But the aunt said with a straight face: "What a joke! Our old Han family is not a small family. The so-called enlightenment of those small families does not work in our old Han family. Such a big family must follow rules and regulations. It comes first. If everyone loses their rules, wouldn’t the family be in disarray and there would be no inheritance?”
This principle is all in one, which is quite bluffing.
Han Jingjing said with a smile: "Auntie, I'm thinking, I haven't violated any of the family rules since I was a child. But the family didn't say that family members can't develop outside the capital, right? I didn't remember If I'm wrong, isn't your cousin Yan developing in a certain city in the Jiangnan region?"
"What do you know? Your cousin is pursuing an official career. Being an official abroad is to accumulate qualifications for better development in Beijing in the future. It is a springboard for others."
Han Jingjing smiled and said: "Auntie, you are being unreasonable! As far as I know, Star City is higher than cousin Yan's city. It makes no sense that it is a springboard for your cousin, but Star City cannot be your niece's. Springboard?"
Han Jingjing is different from her mother, her surname is Han.
She can say what the mother cannot say.
Auntie, you are the daughter of the old Han family, and I, Han Jingjing, am also the daughter of the old Han family.
They are all daughters of the old Han family, so you can't rely on your old age to live in old age, right?
The aunt obviously didn't expect that her niece would become so sharp-tongued after not seeing her for several years.
She originally thought that when the elders spoke, Han Jingjing, a junior, should listen obediently. How could she have the right to speak?
His face was livid with anger, and he complained to his eldest aunt: "Sister-in-law, have you seen it? I just said that the water and soil in Star City have brought out the blood of our capital city. Have we, the old Han family, ever been so unruly? ?The elders speak, and the younger generation contradicts them?"
The eldest aunt smiled faintly and said: "Sister, whose children marry whomever, they will naturally listen to whoever they say. You do the same, what's the truth about calling someone younger?"
These words appear to be extinguishing the fire, but in reality they are extinguishing the fire.
The eldest aunt was furious: "I really want to call this serious today. I'll ask the second brother later, how did he raise the child?"
Han Jingjing said with an innocent face: "Auntie, you really made my niece do this for no reason."
"Hmph, which one of our children from the Han family is so ignorant of the rules and contradicts his elders?"
Han Jingjing said depressedly: "Auntie, let me give you an analogy. If someone wrongly accuses my grandfather, as the juniors, will you stand by and watch indifferently, or will you stand up and defend yourself?"
"Nonsense, if the elders are being criticized, how can the younger generation sit back and watch?"
"Yes, this is the rule of our old Han family. My aunt and eldest aunt misunderstood my mother. As a daughter, I should stand up and defend myself. Shouldn't I deserve it? If in front of outsiders, others would misunderstand my aunt and aunt. No disrespect, I’m in a hurry with them too.”
These words left the two elders speechless for a moment. Even if they wanted to find fault, they couldn't find any words to defend them for a while.
The eldest aunt laughed and said: "Sister, it seems that this child Jingjing is not only smarter than you sisters, but also has a mouth that is eloquent, and is also a true successor to her younger siblings."
This aunt who looked like a living Bodhisattva had a smile on her face all day long.
But every word she said was actually fanning the flames, or it was connoting Han Mu.
It can be seen from this that they say that Han Mu remembers the grudge they had in the past, but in fact, deep down in their hearts, they have never let go of their original hatred.
The reason why there is no objection in person now is that it has been too long. Han Jingjing is already eighteen years old. Secondly, the second eldest brother Han Yiyang has had a smooth career in recent years and has made rapid progress.
Even if they are unhappy in their hearts, they don't want to be evil again and offend the whole family. If Han Yiyang, the second eldest brother, climbs higher than the eldest brother in the future, it will not look good on their face.
The aunt's anger obviously hasn't gone away, but she also knows that with her words, it's hard for her to get anything good from her niece.
You can't just act like you're old and act like you're old, right?
They are all decent people, but if they really get into trouble, they are surrounded by surveillance cameras.
She wants to rely on her elder advantage to slander others, but even if she cheats her niece, she may not be able to achieve her wish.
"Sister-in-law, it seems that the second family's wings are really strong, and the old Han family is probably unable to do anything. I don't think we should worry about these things. If they are willing to stay in Star City, can we force them to hold them back?"
"That's right! Don't underestimate the second child. In a few years, he might be the highest-ranking official in our old Han family. You, please be more careful with your words in the future."
The eldest aunt continued to be angry as always, and every word she said seemed to be a persuasion, but in fact, every word was heartbreaking.
"Hmph! No matter how high your rank is, what's the use if you don't have the same heart as everyone else? This time the old Han family has spent so many resources, can you hear a sound? You didn't even get a smiling face, right?" The aunt was extremely dissatisfied. road.
Mother Han did not want to participate in the previous argument. Because she knows that whatever she says is wrong in the other person's eyes.
She had chosen to follow Han Yiyang, which meant she was wrong in front of these women from the old Han family.
Therefore, she never wanted to get too close to them or argue too much.
But when it came to her husband's issues, she had to speak up.
"Sister, the family has spent some resources on Yiyang this time, and he has always been very grateful. After the resources in Star City were integrated, he also had plans to give back to the family. Moreover, he also agreed to go through the family's recommendation channel for Xiaojiang. Private passage. This can’t be considered as not hearing a sound, right?”
"Xiao Jiang? Is that the kid from an ordinary family in Star City who became a guest of the old Han family?" The aunt said with disdain in her tone.
Han Jingjing didn't like hearing this, but she opened her mouth but still didn't say anything.
She also saw that her aunt had no intention of being reasonable today.
Facing the elders who have lost their sense and are unreasonable, speaking more will only intensify the conflict.
Mother Han nodded slightly: "Xiao Jiang's background is indeed not as good as that of the old Han family, but he is the number one awakener in Star City. He has refused even the Central and South Region military's attempts to woo him. In today's world, he is not an ordinary person."
"Haha, sister-in-law, from your tone, it seems that you really think highly of that Xiao Jiang. Are you planning to recruit a son-in-law in the future?" the eldest aunt suddenly asked with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, they are still young, and things like recruiting a son-in-law will only happen in ten or eight years. As for young people's affairs, as long as they don't obviously go astray, her father and I aim not to interfere."
"It's strange. In the capital city, the awakened people with good family backgrounds and outstanding achievements have gone to sea. If you have stayed in Star City for a long time, don't sit back and watch the sky, and be deceived by people from small families. Children of this kind of family have been shrewd since childhood. , Point your head and try to arch it upward. Our old Han family may be the thigh that others have been targeting for a long time. "
Han Jingjing couldn't stand hearing these words at all.
"Auntie, I don't understand your family theory. But from the beginning to the end, Jiang Yue has never received any benefit from the old Han family. On the contrary, the old Han family has always been in favor of him. He has saved me and helped me. My dad still goes through the recommendation channel of our old Han family. In the final analysis, it is the old Han family that owes others, not that they want us. In this world, not everyone cares so much about the so-called family. Auntie, you Those words make others look down on them, and also downplay the structure of our old Han family."
If the aunt just said that Jiang Yue was from a small family, Han Jingjing could bear it.
The key is that when they talked about their small family, they clearly glanced at their mother. This means that the mother's background is not as good as that of the Han family.
It’s been twenty years and it’s not over yet?
