Chapter 602: Du's Troubles
Bai Yunxi looked at her helplessly. Sometimes, having too many thoughts and worries is not a good thing.
It's better to be as careless as Mr. Li, not pretending to be serious in your heart, but showing all your happiness and anger on your face.
"You are also a mother now. Yaya is a good child, obedient and sensible, and you are her mirror, and she will have your shadow on her body. If you are so worried every day, it will affect your children to a greater or lesser extent. ”
Listening to her mother-in-law's tone, Mrs. Du suddenly raised her head, her eyes turned red and her mouth trembled.
"Mom, I...I don't want to affect Yaya, but I can't control it."
As she said this, Du's eyes were all red, and she rubbed her fingers, feeling ashamed and helpless.
Seeing Du Shi like this, Bai Yunxi felt a little distressed, so she directly held her in her arms and patted her gently.
"Don't be afraid. As long as my mother is here, no one can bully you beyond me, and no one has the right to bully you."
Suddenly being comforted by her mother-in-law, Du froze immediately and was completely confused.
Although her mother-in-law loved her, she had never done anything so intimate.
Moreover, since she was sensible, she had never been held in someone's arms to comfort her, and no one had ever cared about her emotions.
In the eyes of her parents, she will always be her brother, and she will always have endless grass to cut and clothes to wash.
If you have a short period of free time, you will be scolded for being lazy, losing money, and raising a daughter-in-law from someone else's family for nothing.
It is not an exaggeration to say that for more than ten years in my parents' family, I grew up surrounded by labor and abuse.
Now being held and comforted by her mother-in-law, she collapsed in an instant, and tears flowed out uncontrollably.
Is this what it feels like to be protected?
Bai Yunxi watched her shoulders shrugging, but she didn't dare to cry loudly, probably because she was afraid of being laughed at.
"If you feel wronged and want to cry, just cry. You don't have to hold it in. If you marry into the Bai family, you will become the Bai family. They are also the children I protect. As long as I am here, no one can bully you."
"Woooo..."
As soon as I started speaking, I couldn't hold it back, and I wanted to cry out all my grievances.
Of course, let alone a few people in the yard.
Before anyone could speak, Bai Yunxi made a silent motion towards them, waved his hands, and asked them to leave, so as not to make Du Shi embarrassed.
Several people looked at Du Shi worriedly, then turned around and left.
Bai Anjing pulled Li and went directly to the kitchen, "Sister-in-law, we have to make dinner ourselves."
"Yes, your cooking skills are better than mine, so I'll help you." Ms. Li put on her apron, picked and washed vegetables, washed pots and boiled water, then sat down in front of the stove resignedly and started to light the fire.
Bai Anjing was wearing an apron and looked at the ingredients placed on the chopping board. These were all bought today, including pork belly, fat meat, ribs, and a slaughtered old hen. Look at the egg buns and eggs stuffed in his belly. Codonopsis pilosula is just to replenish their body.
"My mother said she wanted to celebrate tonight, but I don't know what my sister-in-law has planned. I don't know what to do if I don't carry a spoon for a long time."
"How about we wash the fresh food, cut what needs to be cut, and wait a little longer?"
Li held the fire stick, looked at her sister-in-law, and suggested softly.
"It would be a pity if such good ingredients were wasted by us."
"The old hen can be stewed first, my sister-in-law has already taken care of it."
The two of them began to work in muttering, which made Wen You, who was leaning by the door, shake her head.
"If there is no sister-in-law, why don't you eat?"
"Hehe...Sister Wen, after eating the food cooked by my sister-in-law, and then eating the food cooked by us, I always feel like it is a waste of food."
Mrs. Li scratched her head, lit the chicken stew stove, and added firewood to let the fire start.
"Didn't Xiaosi say it? It's easy to get into luxury but hard to get into simplicity. My sister-in-law has already spoiled me."
Seeing that the two of them were in a hurry, Wenyou didn't object. The two of them cooked half a dozen things, which can only be said to be cooked and salted, but the taste couldn't be improved.
"I think you can boil a couple of eggs and keep them to reduce swelling in your eyes."
"Yes, yes, thank you for reminding me. My sister-in-law cried so sadly, her eyes must be red and swollen. Roll them with eggs to reduce the swelling quickly."
Bai Anjing quickly took out two eggs from the jar, put them in the pot, and looked into the main room.
At this time, Bai Yunxi looked at the head lying on her shoulder, and the corners of her mouth twitched. She must have shed so many tears, and her shoulders were wet.
Tired of crying and venting her anger, Mrs. Du finally came to her senses, stood up straight, looked at the large area on her mother-in-law's shoulder, her face turned red, and she quickly lowered her head.
"When you've cried enough, tell me why you feel wronged. Maybe it won't feel uncomfortable if you say it."
Du Shi wiped her face with a handkerchief and calmed down her mood.
"...My mother has been saying to me since I was a child that my brother comes first in everything. My brother is the backbone of the family and my future supporter. Because I am a girl and will get married sooner or later. I want to have a life in my husband's family. For status, you have to rely on your mother’s family for support.”
Baiyunxi nodded,
"This is true, but supporting a married girl is not just talk. You have to take practical actions and let your husband's family know that they care about their daughter."
Any girl who is valued by her mother's family will not be bullied by her husband's family. In my memory, the Du family would only take advantage of their daughter, relying on their in-law relationship to let her maternal nephew come to study. This approach would only make the Du family unable to hold her head high in her husband's family.
No wonder the original owner didn't give Du a good look. He was probably dissatisfied and let it go.
Listening to her mother-in-law's tone, Mrs. Du was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly.
"My mother is right. I thought so too at first. As long as I agree to my mother's family's request, they will value me and support me."
"But I found that although I took care of my nephew seriously and worked hard and did housework, my life did not become smoother."
She was puzzled and asked her mother, who said that being a daughter-in-law could never be really comfortable. As long as she had food to eat and a job to show for herself, she would be valued by her husband's family sooner or later.
She also told her to live up to her expectations, win a man at one stroke, and have a son by her side. No matter how much her mother-in-law couldn't stand her, she would have to endure it for the sake of her grandson.
She was thinking about it at the time and felt that what her mother said was reasonable. It was only after she gave birth to her eldest brother that her mother arrogantly overshadowed her father.
But since giving birth to Yaya, her hopes have been shattered.
Du raised her head and looked at her mother-in-law, "I'm not afraid of mother-in-law jokes, because Yaya is a girl. I couldn't hold my head up for a while. I carefully read people's faces every day, for fear of upsetting them and getting scolded and offended."
"Although you didn't blame me, I also know that my mother also wanted to have a grandson in her heart. I failed to live up to your expectations. It's understandable that you are disappointed in me."
Not to mention her mother-in-law, even her own mother said that she was unlucky and unlucky after learning that she had given birth to a girl.
Hearing Du's tone, Bai Yunxi's mouth twitched. The original owner might want to have a grandson, but this matter had nothing to do with her.
