Chapter 650 Everything Is a Habit
The relationship between in-laws is different from other relatives. If you get along, you can move around. If you don't get along, you don't have to move around. Even if the two families don't interact with each other for a long time, no one will talk about it. It's a very strange phenomenon.
Just when Bai Yunxi was thinking about how to appease Mrs. Du, she saw her laboriously carrying a basket of vegetables into the yard.
Seeing the sweat on Du's forehead, Bai Yunxi sighed and waved to her,
"The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Just do some tasks slowly and don't tire yourself."
Listening to her mother-in-law's comfort, Du Shi chuckled lightly and said,
"It's just pulling some green vegetables. It's not a tiring job. Don't worry, mother. Besides, there will be a banquet for my fifth brother soon. Prepare some more vegetables so that you are prepared."
When the celebration banquet was mentioned, Bai Yunxi glanced at her, hesitated, and then told Mrs. Li about the invitation.
"Ms. Li wants his father and brother to come to the banquet. What do you think? Do you want your family to come to the banquet as well?"
Listening to her mother-in-law's question, Mrs. Du was stunned. Did her second brother and sister invite their parents' family?
Seeing Mrs. Du's surprised look, Bai Yunxi pointed to Mrs. Li's room.
"I'm guessing I'm changing clothes in the house right now. I said I'll go send out invitations with my second brother soon."
Du Shi was stunned, what should she do?
Bai Yunxi watched Du purse her lips and rub her hands. Her whole body was dull. She didn't know how to comfort her except for sighing helplessly.
If the Du family was good and didn't worry so much, she would naturally be willing to move around. But this Du family really couldn't get on the stage, and she was very annoyed.
Du Shi lowered her head and rubbed her fingers, feeling very confused.
Logically speaking, she would naturally like to see her mother's family and her husband's family come closer to each other, and be able to lend a hand if something happens in the future.
But her mother-in-law's family didn't care about her at all, and did nothing but shameful things to embarrass her.
Since his filial piety, he has only returned to his parents' home twice. What little he has saved over the years has been exhausted. Even so, my mother was still dissatisfied, saying that her husband's family was getting better and better, so she was so generous to herself. Either she was hiding something for herself and didn't want to give it to her, or her mother-in-law was mean and unwilling to give it up.
No matter how she explained, her mother didn't believe her, and said that she had no ability, could not help her mother's family at all, and had raised her daughter in vain.
But she didn't dare to say these words to anyone, and she didn't dare to mention them in front of her mother-in-law, so as not to be laughed at. To be honest, she was also a daughter, and she envied Mrs. Li very much. She had someone to protect and care for her, but she also lived a heartless life.
In comparison, she felt resentful and unjust, and wanted to break up with her natal family, but what her mother said was right. No matter what, women with natal family are still different from women without natal family, at least when they are bullied. , if there is someone in the natal family, the other party should still be a little wary.
Listening to Du's thoughts on self-defense, Baiyun Xi looked at the sky speechlessly. This person is so ignorant that she has the nerve to say that there is someone in her natal family that no one else dares to bully. She also doesn’t think about it, it was her natal family who bullied her from the beginning to the end, okay?
Having such a natal family is worse than not having one at all. The best choice for her is to leave her alone... Unfortunately, Mrs. Du was so brainwashed by her biological mother that she had no normal nerve except straw.
Du Shi lowered her head, still struggling in her heart.
If my mother knew that my fifth brother was a scholar, maybe something else would happen?
She was a little scared.
Originally, her mother-in-law had a problem with her because of the last time she went back to her natal family. If there were conflicts again because of her natal family, how could she survive in this family? Tenable?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Du glanced at Mrs. Li's room, and couldn't help but complain a little in her heart. Okay, why did the second brother and sister invite her mother's family?
Baiyunxi: "..."
Why is this person so complicated?
The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable Du Shi felt. Even if she didn't invite her now, if her mother found out, she would definitely say that her elbows were turned outward and that she didn't have any family members in her heart.
After listening to her voice and seeing how conflicted she was, Bai Yunxi really wanted to pry open her head and take a look. She only went back to her parents' home twice after a long time. How could she be trained like this by her biological mother?
Her three years of teaching are not as good as Du Mu's few words? Also drunk.
Sure enough, some things are deep in the bones and difficult to change.
"If you feel embarrassed, you don't have to invite us. Anyway, I don't plan to invite too many people. If we are too busy, we will neglect the guests. Also, Xiaowu has already invited his teacher, who is a learned scholar. Don’t make any mistakes and make people laugh.”
"So, we have to make it lively and harmonious without causing too much trouble. If you don't feel confident, don't invite us."
Listening to her mother-in-law's tone, Mrs. Du's face tightened and she smiled coquettishly.
"Yes, I follow mother's orders."
The teacher of the fifth brother is the dean of the college. She already knows that he is a big shot. If the fifth brother had not passed the exam, she would never see him in her life.
If Xiao Wu's banquet was ruined because of her mother's family, her mother-in-law would definitely blame her.
Now, the whole family is focused on the career of the fifth brother, and there really can't be any mistakes.
I want to think about it, but I still feel a little disappointed and a little sad at the same time.
Who told her mother-in-law to be shameless? She also felt that her mother-in-law had some big opinions on her.
In short, the whole person is extremely contradictory.
Seeing Du's whole body in a state of uncertainty, Bai Yunxi was extremely speechless.
Once again, I thought that my decision was correct. Du's temperament was not suitable for being the master of the family.
"Go and do your work. Just don't be tired."
"Hey~"
Du came back to her senses and went out in a daze. Bai Yunxi frowned and turned to look at Wenyou.
"She was taught too many things by her mother-in-law since she was a child, but she was not taught how to cherish herself. Such a person is destined to be sad."
Wenyou leaned on the bed of Luohan and nodded, "It's a bit like a puppet."
Listening to Wenyou's analogy, Bai Yunxi thought about it and realized that it was really the case.
At the moment, Du was a puppet without a soul. She did whatever others told her to do, as if she had no feelings.
But she could hear Du's grievances. Since she knew she was wronged, she was still led by others. Is it that kind of pitiful people must have hateful things, and it's not worth helping them.
"In fact, it's a habit. You can get used to grievances."
Get used to grievances, get used to accepting fate, and get used to it.
April 26th is a good day. It is suitable for sacrifices, blessings, and banquets.
Early in the morning, the whole family changed into new clothes.
Bai Yunxi had Du prepare the altar early. In addition to fruits and snacks, there was a whole roasted chicken in the middle, a carefully selected little rooster named Little Phoenix.
Chicken and Ji are homophones, which means good luck.
When the time came, the eldest uncle and the third uncle led the descendants of the Bai family to the ancestral hall.
Speaking of this, Bai Yunxi realized that in a place like the ancestral hall, only men and the wife can enter.
Girls and concubines are not qualified to enter.
