Who says some people aren't just born lucky? The world is full of good people, but there will always be a few natural-born winners. Her brother, Xu Changhe, was one of them.
Xu Changqing had no desire to dwell on those old memories. Life was good now, and she was content. The priority at the moment was to get her mother to meddle less in her cousins' affairs.
Especially when it came to marriage. Whether they ended up happy or miserable, if her mother so much as made a single offhand comment, they would eventually find a way to blame her for it.
Her father, on the other hand, handled this beautifully. He never offered his opinion on any of his nieces' or nephews' marriages. They had their own parents, so it was their business to handle.
Take child engagements, for instance. Her father clearly detested them, but he would never speak up to stop one. In her father's own words, he wouldn't be happy if someone meddled with his children, so he stayed out of others'.
