After the female supporting character in the quick transmigration series realized her mistakes

After dinner, Heping lingered, as if he had something to say to Ruolan.

Ruolan, however, pretended not to see it, thinking to herself, "She's already in her mid-twenties, she should just say what she wants to say. If she doesn't want to say anything, I'm too lazy to ask."

Finally, Heping mustered up his courage and stammered, "Mother, Huihui came to see me today and asked me to go to her house to propose marriage."

Ruolan looked at her eldest son in surprise, a question forming in her mind.

As for why they are the same, it's because this future eldest daughter-in-law is the same eldest daughter-in-law from the previous life.

Yu Huihui lives in the winery's staff quarters and is the second child in her family.

Perhaps because he wasn't favored at home, this person is a bit stingy.

She is known for her bold and outspoken nature, and she is also particularly fond of nitpicking.

After marrying Xie Heping, she was always the first to step forward no matter what happened, while Xie Heping would hide behind his wife and enjoy the fruits of her labor without having to bear any bad reputation.

As for Jie Heping's job, his family didn't pull any strings to find him one. Perhaps it was fate, or perhaps it was just a coincidence.

Anyway, I don't know how it happened, but Yu Huihui was the one who took care of Jie Heping's job in this life.

Ruolan didn't really care about these things, as long as Jie Heping could hand over his salary.

But in their previous life, it took them three or four years from meeting to getting married.

That's why Ruolan was surprised by Heping's sudden suggestion to meet his parents.

Looking at Heping's flushed face, Ruolan sighed softly and said slowly, "Heping, do you know that your proposal to get married now is a considerable burden for our family, which is still in debt!"

“When I was sick, we didn’t have any money at home, so your dad borrowed money from his friends, and he still hasn’t paid it all back.”

“Right now, the whole family depends on your father’s salary. We have four children who need to go to school, and I’m a useless person who can’t do anything right now. So, if you add it all up, there are five people who depend on your father to support them.”

“He Min and He Fen can only earn enough to feed themselves at home. How can your father’s salary alone cover our family’s expenses?”

"When you got this job, you made such good promises, saying you would help our family pay off our debts, support your younger siblings' education, and even cover their living expenses if they got into university?"

"You have so many burdens on your shoulders, yet you propose marriage now. Do you think the woman will agree?"

He had barely uttered a single sentence when Ruolan began to bombard him with pressure, one sentence after another.

He was feeling so bad that he couldn't lift his head. He really didn't think that way. It was just that he had been dating Huihui for over a year, and if they didn't further solidify their relationship, it would be bad for Huihui's reputation.

That's why he thought of coming back to discuss it with his parents when Huihui came looking for him.

Before he could figure it out, Ruolan continued, "You finally found a job and could help support the family, but now you're doing this. What are you trying to do to our family?"

"Are you really that heartless? You're abandoning your family after you get married? You two are living a comfortable life outside while we, your parents, and your younger siblings are left to eat meager meals at home?"

"We've finally started to see some improvement in our family's situation, and we can finally add another dish to the table. Now you're going to add to our burden again. You want money for the bride price, all the expenses for the wedding, clothes and shoes. What if the bride's family goes too far and asks for the 'three turns and one sound' (referring to a radio, a sewing machine, and a radio)?"

"Wouldn't that just make things worse for our already dilapidated home?"

"If your eldest aunt knew that our family had just risen up and was about to fall again, she would laugh at our second branch of the family behind our backs to death."

Ruolan became more and more agitated and sorrowful as she spoke.

Heping was also made to feel ashamed. She thought of how good her stepmother had been to them, and how she had even made herself sick from starving for their sake.

Shortly after the famine ended, my stepmother fell ill and became bedridden. My father ran around trying to borrow money, and finally managed to get her into the hospital.

It took the stepmother two or three years for her health to gradually improve.

Thinking of this, Heping quickly patted his chest and promised, "Mom, don't worry! I will never abandon the family. I will definitely work with Dad to support our second branch of the family and make sure that Aunt doesn't look down on us!"

“I’m not married yet, so I hand over my entire salary. Even after I get married, I’ll still hand over my entire salary. When Huihui marries into our family, she’ll have to pay half of her living expenses. After all, we all eat and live at home.”

Ruolan was a little doubtful: "Would Huihui agree? Shouldn't you discuss it with her first?"

"It's okay, I'll make it clear to Huihui beforehand. If she can accept our family's rules, then she can marry into the family; if she can't... then forget it."

“But now that you’re getting married, our family has no money! The salaries that you and your son hand over to me have all been used to pay off debts, and we still haven’t paid them off! After all, the food at home is getting better and better, and the expenses are also increasing, so we haven’t paid off much of the debt.”

Ruolan was probably too immersed in her role; her eyes were red and filled with sorrow, making her look quite pitiful.

Even though he knew it was fake, Shui Sheng still felt sorry for him.

Thinking of Heping, who had angered his wife, Shuisheng kicked her. Only after Shuisheng had vented his anger did Ruolan step forward to break up the fight.

He then shielded Heping behind him and scolded Shuisheng, "Brother Shuisheng, they're just kids. You can scold them, but don't hit them. They're not young anymore. They're old enough to start their own families. If you keep hitting them, they'll lose face!"

She gently turned her head again, looking tenderly at Heping's aggrieved face, and softly comforted her, "Heping, you must not blame your father! You must know that the reason your father did that was entirely because he cares about me too much."

“In that situation just now, he acted impulsively and couldn’t control his emotions, which is why he couldn’t help but hit you.”

Then, she sighed softly and continued, "As the saying goes, 'Spare the rod and spoil the child.' The harder your father beats you, the more it means he loves you."

"After all, you're the eldest son in our family. As the eldest son, we parents always have higher expectations for you and naturally have stricter requirements."

So don't take it to heart this time. Reflect on whether you did something wrong and try to correct it next time. I believe that when you grow up, you'll understand your father's good intentions.

Ruolan is the perfect lubricant in the household.

Heping had just been beaten by his father, and his initial shame was instantly soothed by Ruolan's words.

The two hiding in the kitchen breathed a sigh of relief when their stepmother came out to help them out.

No matter how angry Dad got, as long as Mom said a few words, Dad's anger would subside.

It's always like this. Whenever their father sees their mother being wronged, he takes it out on them. They're used to it.
