First watch.

"Mom, as long as you feel good about it..." Although Chuxia thought Zhao Yulan was still too soft-hearted, she didn’t interfere, and said with a smile, "As long as you’re happy, I’m happy."
"Chuxia, Mom just feels that she’s had a tough time too, let’s give her a chance. If she makes another mistake, we won’t leave her any face, okay?"
"Okay..." Chuxia laughed and hugged Zhao Yulan’s arm, "I didn’t say I disagree, why are you explaining so earnestly?"
"Your mom feels she might be a bit too soft-hearted..." Lin Baohe chimed in with a smile, "But being soft-hearted is better than being ruthless."
Old Master Wan laughed as he joined in, "Don’t worry, good people are rewarded."
"She’s coming in." Li Xinli whispered to remind everyone.
About 1.6 meters tall, slim figure, wearing blue fabric trousers and a blue jacket, her features were quite decent, but there was a hint of sorrow in her appearance.
This was the first time Chuxia got a clear look at Zhang Yuzhen’s face. Last time it was nighttime and she felt awkward about being caught, only feeling the other couldn’t compare with her own mom, but couldn’t clearly see what she actually looked like.
"Yulan, Baohe, I’m sorry." As soon as she entered, Zhang Yuzhen deeply bowed to Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe, noticing Chuxia’s scrutinizing gaze, she visibly became nervous.
"Have a seat." Zhao Yulan smiled at her, "You have raised a good son, considering you’re doing it for him, I won’t say much more. If you want to continue working at the toy factory, you can keep working there.
Actually, when it comes down to it, we’re neighbors from the same village, helping each other out when outside is as it should be. But your mistake was trying to meddle in my relationship with Baohe, it’s better to destroy ten temples than to break a family, right?
I’m not bringing this up to settle old scores, I just want to make things clear to you. Baohe didn’t tell me initially not because he has any thoughts about you, but because he didn’t want me to recall those troubling times.
Since it’s all in the past, let’s leave it there. This is the last time I’m bringing this up in front of you, and in the future, let’s not interact, it makes us all uncomfortable, don’t you agree?"
"Yes, yes, it’s all my fault..." Zhang Yuzhen sighed and sincerely looked at Zhao Yulan, "Yulan, when I say you’re more blessed than me, I really mean it.
The past events are over, whatever choices were made have to be held accountable. I openly admit to my son, marrying his father didn’t bring me any happiness. When he was alive, he often hit me, and after he passed, his family didn’t help at all, they even took all the valuables from our home.
As a widow and mother, we scraped by, watching Jiangang become successful, I’ve been holding back a sense of bitterness wanting to present myself positively to my in-laws.
When the Che family approached, I truly lacked the courage to refuse, but now, having reached this age, I understand that my younger self was wrong, certainly not wanting to destroy your relationship, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been exposed so quickly.
My idea was, I couldn’t confront them, nor did I want to harm you, so let you know my intentions early, that way, she couldn’t really harm Jiangang.
You’re generous and forgiving, and I’m not someone who doesn’t appreciate kindness. Right now, I don’t have money to move elsewhere, so I’ll keep working at the toy factory until I’ve saved enough, then I’ll move and ensure that I won’t appear in front of you again in this lifetime."
Though such an explanation seemed like an excuse, Chuxia actually felt it held some credibility. From Zhang Yuzhen’s demeanor, she doesn’t appear to be truly clueless, since she managed to raise her son so well alone, which implies she has some intelligence. So, there is a possibility that she hurried to reveal her intentions to Zhao Yulan as a way to free herself.
If that’s the case, it doesn’t make her seem hateful.
Moreover, when peeking through the door gap earlier, Zhang Yuzhen sitting under the lamp working left a very deep impression on her, she believed the other was a good mother, and also potentially a good woman.
Of course, this matter requires her mom to make the decision, so although this was her thinking, Chuxia didn’t speak up, keeping a neutral expression while sitting quietly, her expression unreadable. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
After a while, Zhao Yulan solemnly sighed, seriously looked at Zhang Yuzhen, and said deliberately, "I believe, I believe what you’re saying."
Zhang Yuzhen’s eyes reddened, she had braced herself for humiliation during her explanation but hadn’t expected this outcome, making her feel even more guilty inside.
