Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1517: Chapter 1518: Encouraging Each Other with Good Principles

A person’s life, to have a few friends who truly consider your best interests, is a blessing. After all, it’s rare to find someone who, without any familial ties, genuinely thinks about what’s best for you.

For Hualing, Cheng Su was such a person. It wasn’t considered that rare before, but now that both families are going to part ways and won’t often see each other, it’s only then that this connection feels precious.

And her previous conduct...

Hualing pursed her lips and said, ”I’ve been spoiled since childhood, being the only girl in the family, so my temper grew big. In the past, I might have offended you with my words, but you were magnanimous and didn’t hold it against me.”

Cheng Su was sipping soup leisurely, upon hearing this, she couldn’t help but be surprised, looking at her: ”Suddenly saying this, what’s up with you? Getting sentimental all of a sudden!”

Hualing glared at her, this person, talking like this, can’t even take a good word, so she retorted without good humor: ”Sentimental? Aren’t we about to leave? I’m afraid you’re petty and will slander me behind my back!”

Cheng Su raised her eyebrow: ”Is it you who is petty, or me?”

The two of them glared at each other, then both burst into laughter.

Hualing coughed once, then seriously said: ”I’m not being sentimental, it’s true. I’m not someone who doesn’t know what’s good or bad, you’ve helped and advised me, I remember it all! About those unpleasant things I said to you, just forget them.”

”Alright, but you’re overthinking it, life’s too tiring, who would still dwell on the unpleasant things you said? I’m not looking to make myself uncomfortable, I don’t remember them at all!” Cheng Su responded nonchalantly.

”I know you are generous-hearted, thank you!” Hualing sincerely expressed her gratitude.

Cheng Su put down the soup bowl and said, ”No need for thanks, it’s still the same old saying, in the future, come back to visit when you have time. The kids are about the same age, bring them over, we can have tea or something. We’ve been neighbors for years, I only wish the best for you.”

Hualing nodded.

Cheng Su thought for a moment, then chimed in: ”Though you think I’m long-winded, I have to say one more thing. Past affairs are past, though they might have been painful, you shouldn’t keep them in your heart, it’s just making life difficult for yourself. If you want to live comfortably, learn to be open-minded, don’t sweat the small stuff, over time, life will be more forgiving.”

”Back to lecturing!” Hualing snorted lightly.

”If you don’t want to hear it, I won’t say it!”

Hualing said, ”It’s not that I don’t want to hear, if you want to say it, go ahead, you’ve got all the great principles laid out, and they can’t be refuted!”

”Of course, I’ve got the insight right there!” Cheng Su boasted with pride, laughed for a while, then said: ”It’s not really lecturing, just feel that we women have it tough enough. We need to handle relationships with in-laws, with children, but most importantly, with our husbands. Who doesn’t want to live freely? And that freedom, it mostly comes from ourselves, not relying on others...”

”Anyone can complain, but if a person constantly complains, turning themselves into a grumbling wife, over time, the man will become tired and annoyed, and the kids might say something too. Who would want to face a grumbling wife every day?” Cheng Su said: ”There’s a saying, a good horse with a good saddle, a good ship with a good sail, a good woman with a good man, and the reverse is also true. When you complain about others, you should also introspect whether you are perfect yourself? Of course, this isn’t just for you, it applies to me too, I continually review and self-reflect. Let’s share this wisdom and encourage each other.”
