Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space

Chapter 808: Chapter 808: Punishing Yourself for Someone Else’s Mistake

The elder brother realized something was wrong and hurried to his father-in-law’s house to look for people, but coincidentally, the elder sister-in-law encountered her ex at the alley’s entrance.

Things happened to be so coincidental, a group of children ran out from the alley entrance and almost bumped into the elder sister-in-law. Her ex happened to give her a helping hand, but at that moment, the elder brother happened to chase after and witnessed this scene.

The elder brother got jealous, and immediately sulked. That’s when the two began a cold war.

Twin pregnancies are prone to premature labor, and the elder sister-in-law got so angry she went into labor. Fortunately, the elder brother was a doctor and got her to the hospital in time, safely delivering a pair of dragon and phoenix twins.

Originally, the safe arrival of the children made the couple turn hostility into friendship, easing their relationship quite a bit, but those two exes had some peculiar thoughts.

They actually both visited the hospital to see the elder sister-in-law, which stirred things up again.

Just when the family asked them to name the two children, the two discussed this and started arguing, eventually condemning each other, saying more and more unreasonable things. One said the other couldn’t forget the ex-girlfriend, the other said the opposite couldn’t let go of the ex-boyfriend. The words were as hurtful as they could be.

As a result, the daughter’s name included Ma Chengxi’s ex-girlfriend’s ’Warm’ character, and the son’s name included Wang Rong’s ex-boyfriend’s ’Scenery’ character. The children’s names became Ma Ruigang and Ma Ruixian. The main thing was they kept their emotions bottled up and directly registered the children.

The main issue was that neither was willing to back down because of this matter, so even till the children were one year old, they were still at odds.

Later, the elder sister-in-law’s unit just happened to need support for the third category, and in a fit of anger, she signed up, leaving the two children with the grandparents.

The Master was anxious back then, scolding the elder brother terribly, saying they were punishing themselves with others’ mistakes, not only harming the couple’s feelings but also hurting the children.

The elder brother woke up after being scolded by the Master and then hurried after her.

But the registration was done, and she was already over there, so coming back immediately was impossible. They directly began a long-distance life, and three years later, they managed to get transferred back to Beijing.

After returning to Beijing, regarding this matter, we often brought it up among our senior brothers and sisters, and for a while, would want to laugh whenever we saw them.

Just because of someone else’s mistake, two people who clearly loved each other ended up tormenting one another, neither willing to soften their stance and resulting in a three-year cowherd and weaver girl life.

But fortunately, the elder brother realized in time and caught up to clear things up, otherwise, if postponed for a few more years, even the small family would have probably been scattered.

At this point, Shen Guqing fell silent.

Xinyan knew she probably thought about her failed marriage.

Xinyan hugged Shen Guqing’s shoulder: "Sister, don’t overthink, your situation is different from the elder brother and his wife, you deserve better."

Shen Guqing knew Xinyan worried about her: "It’s nothing, just a bit of reflection."

She understood deep inside that her situation was different from when her senior brother and sister-in-law went through theirs, theirs was purely a misunderstanding, while Meng Yifei truly did something that let her down.

Even if the family calculated against him, it was still his weak will that led him to make a mistake, so there’s no room for them to ever reconcile.

Xinyan originally wanted to mention something about Meng Yifei, but feared it would upset her sister, hence changed the topic: "Then why didn’t the elder brother and sister-in-law change the names of the dragon and phoenix twins after reconciling?"

Shen Guqing laughed: "Sometimes people are just like this, once everything is clear, nothing matters anymore. The two somehow discussed it, but ultimately the children’s names were never changed."

But this matter is only known among those close to us.
