Zhang Xinxin stood outside for a long time, unable to make up her mind. Zhang Hua had helped her today; if she helped Lin Luo harm Zhang Hua, she would be truly despicable. But if she refused, Lin Luo would divorce her. Where would she go if she were divorced? Her parents’ home certainly wouldn't welcome a daughter returning while pregnant. She thought it over and over, but remained indecisive.
Dinner was soon ready. Zhang Xinxin finally made up her mind: if he divorced her, she would wander as a vagrant. If she starved to death, so be it; at least she wouldn't drag anyone else down. Her parents-in-law and husband were sitting at the table waiting. Zhang Xinxin served the food and placed it before them. The dissatisfaction in her parents-in-law’s eyes faded slightly, though her father-in-law still remarked, "Don't think that just because your parents' home is nearby, you can run over there every day. Since you married into our family, you are a Lin. You must put the Lin family first in everything."
Zhang Xinxin said nothing and sat down to eat. For once, Lin Luo did not fly into a rage at her. Usually, at a time like this, if his parents spoke to his wife and she didn't answer, he would have scolded her or kicked her. Clearly, Zhang Xinxin had already prepared for the worst and was no longer catering to them. Her parents-in-law looked at their son, but he said, "Mom, Dad, Xinxin knows she was wrong. I’ve already talked to her. You two just hurry up and eat."
