Chapter 699 I Don't Want to Take Care of the Baby

Listening to Li's inner voice, Bai Yunxi couldn't help but tremble her lips. The baby hasn't been born yet, but she's already thinking about being a scholar. Apart from other things, she's really bold to have such a thought.

"Don't come on, don't think I'll agree just because you've given me a drug. You can take care of your own baby, and grandma can take care of her food, drink, chewing, and nothing else."

Want to flatter her, but it's impossible.

"Mom, I also want my baby to be a scholar~"

Li stroked her belly and looked at her mother-in-law pitifully, her eyes were like a dog, and she was speechless when she saw Bai Yunxi.

Knowing that this person is a simple and straightforward person, I didn't expect that he would be so clingy when he acted like a spoiled child.

"Oh... I suddenly realized that there are still some accounts that I haven't finished looking through. I have to go and look through them. I have collected more grain this season. I will contact Manager Wang of Xuji Grain Shop to send someone to collect the grain. I can't delay any longer."

Speaking of this, Bai Yunxi stood up directly, and under Li's resentful eyes, she quickly returned to her room.

The moment she entered the room, Bai Yunxi raised her hand and patted her chest.

Oh~, she really can't stand someone acting coquettishly with her. No matter in her past life or this life, she herself is not a coquettish person, and she can't stand others acting coquettishly with her.

Li stood up with the help of the table, and looked at her mother-in-law who ran into the house like she was escaping. She was a little confused for a while.

"Mother~, I haven't finished yet..."

"Puff~, second brother's wife, look at you scared mother, she doesn't even dare to sit and enjoy the rain."

Du came over with a needlework basket, and couldn't help laughing directly. It was the first time she saw her mother-in-law rushing into her room in a hurry.

Although she didn't hear it clearly, she could vaguely hear the words scholar and baby.

Li came back to her senses and looked at Du with a pout, "Sister-in-law, I want mother to help me take care of the baby, but mother doesn't seem to be happy."

Du was stunned, her eyes fell on her belly, and she smiled, "It hasn't been born yet, you are too anxious."

"I'm just chatting with mother because I'm free. Grandma said that the baby in my belly is likely to be a boy. Sister-in-law also knows that my brother Yan and I are rough people and can't teach the baby well. If I give it to mother to raise, maybe she can teach a scholar."

Du: "..."

No wonder mother-in-law ran away, she would have to run too.

Let's not talk about boys and girls first. She thought that a scholar was as easy as cabbage and radish in the field.

Let's not talk about anything else. Take my great-grandfather's cousin Anbang for example. He has been taking the exam for several years, but he hasn't even been a student. The second sister-in-law was not polite. She started with the name of a scholar. Wouldn't that scare people to death?

"Sister-in-law, why don't you say anything?"

Mrs. Du came back to her senses and cleared her throat. "Ahem~, don't worry, sister-in-law. When you give birth, maybe mother will be happy and agree."

Listening to Mrs. Du's comfort, Mrs. Li's eyes lit up.

"Yes, why didn't I think of it? Sister-in-law is smart. You are right. When I give birth, I will beg mother again. She will definitely agree... Maybe in a dozen years, I will also be called a scholar mother. I am excited just thinking about it."

Mrs. Du watched her fall into her own fantasy and trembled speechlessly.

The more she did this, the faster her mother-in-law would run away. Since her fifth brother passed the examination for a scholar, she believed that in addition to hard work, studying also requires talent, otherwise it may not be useful even if you work hard all your life.

Bai Anbang was like this, and so was the man in her family who didn't know whether to live or die.

Thinking of Bai Anchen, Mrs. Du was distracted for a moment, then she looked at the crackling sound of raindrops in the yard, and her eyes returned to calmness.

She lowered her head and picked up the embroidery thread in the needlework basket, and began to make autumn clothes for her daughter, a pink jacket and skirt.

She planned to embroider a few pink marigolds for her daughter, which were not abrupt and looked delicate and tender. Just thinking about it made her look beautiful.

Sometimes, when she couldn't sleep at night, she looked at her daughter's sleeping face and was particularly envious. She envied her for having a good grandmother to take care of her. Apart from food and clothing, she was definitely the best in the village in terms of reading and writing. Other girls either stayed at home to look after their younger siblings, washed clothes and cooked, or went to work in the fields.

Only her daughter, wearing new clothes, combing her hair in a neat bun, sat on a small desk to read and practice calligraphy.

In just a few years of growth, her daughter changed visibly. She couldn't describe her temperament, but she looked more and more like her mother-in-law.

She was obviously the mother, but when the two stood together, she always felt a lack of confidence, as if the daughter was not her own.

She knew in her heart that it was all thanks to her mother-in-law that Yaya could grow up like this. It was her good teaching that made her daughter so outstanding.

A few days ago, when they went to the town, they just bought water chestnut cakes and turned to leave. Behind them, they heard the shopkeeper sighing, saying that Yaya's manners were really good, but they didn't know which family she was raised in.

As soon as the voice fell, someone next to him echoed, saying that girls raised in wealthy families were hidden, for fear of being bumped into. Either they didn't go out all year round, or even if they went out, they were accompanied by an old maid to avoid being frightened.

Hearing this, she subconsciously looked down at her clothes. Her clothes were almost new. When she went out, she specially combed her hair, tied her hair into a bun, and inserted a silver hairpin. How could she become an old maid?

Looking at the daughter again, because she didn't want to be too fancy when going out, she only chose a 70% new light green dress, tied two buns, wore silk flowers made by her aunt, and a pair of silver bracelets with lotus flowers on her left wrist, nothing else.

They are obviously mother and daughter, so how can they become master and servant in the eyes of others?

At that time, Yaya also heard the discussion behind her. She turned around and was about to explain to everyone, but she grabbed her.

She knew that those people had no ill intentions, but explaining in the past would embarrass her.

It is neither the daughter's fault nor her own fault that a mother is not as well-mannered as her daughter. It is because she has no one to teach her at the age of learning.

In addition to telling her that she should take care of her parents' family and help her brother in the future, her mother also told her overtly and covertly that she was a loser and that no matter how well-raised she was, she would belong to someone else's family. Over and over again, that was all.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law...what are you thinking about? I can't hear you even after I call you several times?"

Mrs. Li stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her eyes. She looked at Mrs. Du looking at her in confusion.

"What's wrong?"

It was rare for Mrs. Li to see her sister-in-law like this, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth in joy.

"Sister-in-law is distracted. I want my sister-in-law to help me cut a few more clothes for the baby. I have nothing to do, so I can make a few more clothes for the baby."

Du Shi came back to her senses, suppressed the sourness in her heart, and glanced at Li Shi's belly again.

"Didn't you and my sister-in-law make several outfits together? Children grow up very fast, and it would be a waste if you make too many outfits and can't wear them. If you can't take it easy, I can help you cut it into a bigger size."
