Chapter 252: Raising a Daughter
Du Shi listened to her mother's question and answered quickly.
"Yaya's cotton-padded clothes are ready, and all the quilts at home have been dismantled and washed. There are only two sets left and I can sew them myself. Mom has been busy with us all morning, so let's take a rest first."
She was already familiar with this task, and she didn't need anyone's help at all. She could sew it with just a little time.
"It's okay, there is strength in numbers."
Baiyunxi knew that as an indigenous daughter-in-law, Du had no reason to let her mother-in-law help with work.
In this era, the mother-in-law is the absolute authority. No matter how powerful the daughter-in-law is, as long as she is in front of the mother-in-law, she has to be humble. This is tradition and a kind of blood suppression engraved in the bones.
The two laid mats in the front yard, prepared sewing baskets, and began sewing quilts.
Bai Yunxi looked at Du. Although she worked quickly, she seemed a little absent-minded. Thinking of the worries in her heart just now, she changed the topic directly.
"I don't know what excitement Mrs. Li saw. To be honest, I'm quite curious, but I can't go and see it."
Hearing her mother-in-law's tone, Mrs. Du looked at her in surprise. After summoning up all the courage, I asked what I wanted to ask.
"What do you think of Chen Jiao's second marriage?"
Baiyunxi was stunned when he heard Du Shi's inquiry.
"The current world is harsh on women. Marrying a woman is like reincarnating for the second time. If you marry well, you will have no worries for the rest of your life. Otherwise, it will be purgatory. Whether it is a second marriage or a third marriage, as long as you live a comfortable life, this step It’s all right to go.”
Speaking of this, Bai Yunxi saw Du's sad expression and knew that she was thinking of him.
Thinking about the unsatisfactory Bai Anchen, as a substitute mother, she has to show her own attitude.
"That boy An Chen is so blessed that he doesn't know how to be blessed. Just wait. Regardless of whether he comes back or not, your position in this family will not change."
"Mom, I..."
Du Shi's eyes were red and her mouth was trembling a little.
Bai Yunxi waved her hand, "You don't have to be polite in front of mother. I said I will raise you as my daughter. I have always kept this promise and it will not change in the future."
Du Shi turned her head and wiped her eyes, lowered her head to sew the quilt, and spoke after a while.
"Don't worry, Mom, I still have Yaya."
'She was the one who got into trouble before and treated Yaya badly. In the future, she will protect her daughter with her life. ’
Listening to Du's thoughts, Bai Yunxi's brows moved.
"Yes, you also have a daughter. Yaya is a good child. Let's train her well and then choose a good son-in-law for her."
"You are busy with the future matters."
Although the old saying goes that it is better for a couple to stay with their original spouse, but if the original spouse is too bad, it is better to change them.
But Du Shi's current situation is not suitable for telling her this.
Listening to her mother-in-law's tone, Mrs. Du turned her head and looked at her daughter who was having fun with Gouzi.
"Mom is right, I know what's going on."
Just as the two were chatting and laughing while doing needlework, the fence door was pushed open, and Mrs. Song Wang stood at the door and looked at the two people with a smile.
"Hey, look at this scene, it looks so pleasing to the eye. If you didn't know better, you might think you two are sisters."
Listening to Song Wang's teasing, Bai Yunxi was a little dumbfounded.
"Look at your mouth, Mrs. Song, you are so unforgiving. Everyone has gone to the second uncle's house to see the bride, why did you come to me in your spare time?"
Listening to Bai Yunxi's question, Mrs. Song Wang clicked her tongue,
"What kind of bride? She has ruined her reputation before she even entered the house. Who will dare to interact with her in the future?"
