Chapter 511 Adding makeup
These words were indeed unpleasant to hear, but Madam Wu had anticipated them before she arrived.
Having prepared herself, the words didn't sound so harsh, and she didn't hold a grudge. Instead, she smiled and said, "Time will tell. Words are meaningless. I understand Brother Lin's concerns."
"How about this, since Brother Lin has brought up the issue, we don't need to argue. While everyone is here, let's just discuss a plan."
After saying that, she smiled and looked around at everyone present.
Headmaster Chen was satisfied with Madam Wu's attitude, and he raised his hand to stroke his beard, nodding in agreement.
Compared to Chen Shanzhang and Lin Beishan and his wife, Aunt Gu spent more time with Wu Qingfeng, and Wu Qingfeng not only helped the Gu family but also the entire Linshui Village.
Therefore, Aunt Gu always had a very good impression of Wu Qingfeng.
However, she was in the most awkward position regarding Lin Chang'er and Wu Qingfeng's marriage, so even though she secretly wished them well, she didn't dare to stand out too much.
Seeing Madam Wu's sincerity, and even Headmaster Chen's attitude beginning to soften, she felt a little relieved.
They then looked expectantly at Lin Beishan and his wife.
Bai He had no problem with Wu Qingfeng; as a mother herself, she could understand Madam Wu's feelings.
If it weren't for the fact that the person being discussed right now was her own daughter, she might even think that her husband had gone too far.
People are just like that, so hypocritical. For her daughter's sake, she's not afraid of being criticized.
But at the moment, Madam Wu's performance is impeccable.
Moreover, when faced with her husband's criticism, she generously suggested that everyone work together to come up with a solution and put their minds at ease.
To be honest, being a mother-in-law to this extent is truly impeccable.
At least in her eyes, this mother-in-law is acceptable for now.
However, the main reason we're all sitting here today is because our men still view the Wu family's son through a lens of later generations!
Thinking of this, Bai He turned to look at her husband.
She gave him a look that said, "Say something."
Lin Beishan may be arrogant, but in front of his wife, he's still like Jerry in front of Tom.
In fact, he simply disagreed with the marriage and deliberately created difficulties for Madam Wu.
The best outcome would have been for her to back down, but instead of stopping, she suggested that everyone work together to find a way to put her mind at ease.
This surprised him somewhat, and his attitude towards Madam Wu inevitably changed.
But when he thought of Wu Qingfeng, he hardened his heart again.
Anyway, he still felt that, although, he just couldn't let that kid get what he wanted so easily.
But he could no longer be sarcastic or mean towards Madam Wu.
He pursed his lips. "Then let's all share our thoughts."
Upon hearing this, Bai He smiled slightly, indicating that there was room for negotiation.
Madam Wu also understood this meaning and said frankly, "I have spent half my life in the backyard and have little knowledge. I don't know how ordinary people handle such things. I hope you will kindly enlighten me."
Chen Shanzhang finally spoke, “It’s nothing more than dividing the family and living separately. Of course, dividing the family doesn’t mean we’ll never see each other again. We’ll still have to provide for our relatives’ needs with rice and money each year according to our ability.”
Chen Shanzhang started the discussion, and Aunt Gu nodded in agreement, "When it comes to dividing the family property, the house is the most important thing."
In fact, she always felt that she had no right to ask Chang'er to support her. She regarded Chang'er as her daughter, and there was no reason for a married girl to support her parents' family.
Besides, she still has her eldest and second sons, so naturally, it should be her eldest and second sons who take care of her.
Headmaster Chen agreed, saying, "I have seen Madam Wu's sincerity. Her husband's family cherishes our Chang'er, so our family naturally has no reason to neglect her."
"Since Miss Gu has brought it up, our family will take care of the house arrangements. Consider it an addition to my daughter's dowry..."
