Of course, she also has a good temper and isn\u2019t the kind of person who makes trouble unnecessarily.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey thought I came from a good family and wanted me to be subservient to Lin, to be considerate of him. His mother was hospitalized once, and it just so happened that she stayed at the hospital where I was interning.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause of my relationship with Senior Lin, I knew that Auntie was hospitalized, so I definitely had to go and see her.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLin\u2019s mother wanted me to take care of her so that Lin could go to work and not have to take care of her. She said she was worried that her son would get tired, and that I happened to be interning at that hospital, so I could take care of her while I was at work, and it wouldn\u2019t interfere with my work.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAt that time, Senior Lin had not yet confessed to me, and I did not know that he had feelings for me. I thought he only regarded me as a junior.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI was stunned by his mother\u2019s request. I never expected her to make such a request. I\u2019m an intern, but I also have a job. I have too many things to do, how could I take care of her at the same time?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course I refused, and then she said that I didn\u2019t know how to be considerate of Senior Lin, and that I wasn\u2019t good enough to my elders. She said that even though my family background is so good, my upbringing is not very good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zeng Xiaoya said, \u201cI just realized that she misunderstood my relationship with Senior Lin. I told her that I am just Senior Lin\u2019s junior, not his girlfriend. Even if I were his girlfriend, I wouldn\u2019t take care of her.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe is Lin\u2019s mother. She is sick and hospitalized. It is only natural for Lin, as her son, to take care of his sick mother. However, he cannot outsource his filial piety.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey even wanted to outsource the job to my junior. After I explained, his mother smiled sheepishly and said it was a misunderstanding. I hadn\u2019t thought much of it before and just assumed she really had misunderstood.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter I realized Lin\u2019s feelings for me, I realized that his parents had known about his feelings for me all along and treated me as their future daughter-in-law.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey wanted to take advantage of me when I was just starting out in society, a complete novice who knew nothing, so that I would bow down and not rely on my family background to be superior to Senior Lin.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zeng Xiaoya said, \u201cThat happened several years ago. Senior Lin wasn\u2019t there. I don\u2019t know if his mother told him later, but I know that we\u2019re not a good match.\u201d
\n\u201cI really don\u2019t love him. His parents are very enthusiastic towards me, but that\u2019s because they value my family background. If I really like Senior Lin and get together with him, they will try every means to control and suppress me, so that my family background won\u2019t overshadow their precious son.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even though Lin\u2019s parents were still very warm towards her later, Zeng Xiaoya knew that it was all just a facade.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, she didn\u2019t fall in love with Senior Lin.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never looked down on Lin Xuechang\u2019s background. I just felt that I was not suitable for him and his family. His mother even said behind my back that if I were to become their daughter-in-law, I was afraid I wouldn\u2019t be able to do the farm work and would be laughed at in the village for being useless.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zeng Xiaoya found it amusing to think about the little tricks and words her mother had made behind her back.<\/p>\n

Lin\u2019s mother felt that the wife her son married was just a source of labor for them.<\/p>\n

The mindset is that of an old-fashioned mother-in-law.<\/p>\n

Therefore, it\u2019s best not to enter into a family with incompatible values. If you can\u2019t get along, it\u2019s easy to have conflicts, and even the best relationship can disappear due to trivial family matters and repeated arguments.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been back at work in Dongguan for a short time now. Whenever Lin\u2019s mother comes to the city for a medical check-up, she sometimes registers for my appointment. I just do my job properly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe aunt is now more enthusiastic towards me than before. She has hidden her little thoughts and is acting very reasonable and understanding.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I will never forget what happened a few years ago. No matter how well she behaves, she can\u2019t fool me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes Lin would bring his parents to my Zeng family home, but I was usually too busy, so my second uncle and aunt would entertain them.\u201d<\/p>\n
