Volume 1 Chapter 325 Private Conversation between Mother and Daughter

The house was bustling the whole afternoon. Sheng Wanyan was busy all afternoon, and the floor of the house was covered with melon seed shells.

According to custom, sweeping the floor is not allowed during these days, as it will sweep away your wealth.

So Sheng Wanyan didn't care. Although feudal superstition was not allowed, every household did this. It was fine as long as they didn't get caught in the open.

If I don't sweep the floor, what can you do to me?

After a busy day, the house became quiet.

For dinner, Sheng Wanyan prepared noodles and a braised fish. Since there were only two of them, they just wanted to keep it simple.

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Sheng Wanyan is going back to her parents' home. Even though it's just across the street, she still has to prepare things.

Sheng Wanyan took the things that Gu's mother had prepared for her and added two cans of malted milk.

Gu's mother prepared 10 kilograms of meat and a basket of fruits. The fruit alone was already very impressive.

I took the things and went across the street, as I was going to stay for dinner that night.

Pan Yue and Sheng Wanze are not at home for dinner tonight, they have also gone back to Pan Yue's parents' home.

The Pan family is very lively this year. Pan's father's two sons, daughters-in-law and grandson have all returned, and Pan's third sister has also returned to her parents' home with her husband and children.

It was very lively, and Pan Yue had to go back according to custom, and she also brought Hu Zi back with her.

Hu Zi seldom saw the children of the Pan family, so whenever he had the chance, he would always try to meet them.

Sheng Wanyan went back to her mother's house for dinner, and her mother prepared a table full of food.

Although there are not many people in the family, Sheng's mother attaches great importance to him and does not treat Gu Tingxiao unfairly at all.

"Eat more, Xiao Gu."

Mother Sheng picked up a few pieces of meat for Gu Tingxiao, and Gu Tingxiao picked up the bowl to receive them.

"Thank you, Mom."

"Come, Xiao Gu, have a drink."

Grandpa Sheng poured him a glass of wine, and Gu Tingxiao drank it with Grandpa Sheng and his father.

After dinner, Sheng's mother took Sheng Wanyan into the room to talk in private. She had never had a good chat with her daughter.

"Are all those things outside what your mother-in-law asked you to bring?"

Mother Sheng was referring to the things that Sheng Wanyan brought back to her parents' home.

"yes."

"Yan'er, tell me honestly, has Xiao Gu been good to you since you gave birth to Yi Yi?"

"And the Gu family, do they have any objections to you having a daughter?"

Mother Sheng never asked these questions. First, she was busy at home, and second, she was watching it herself.

"Mom, what are you thinking about?"

"Can't you see Ting Xiao's attitude and the Gu family's attitude?"

Mother Sheng could see it, but she was still worried.

"I heard that the fourth branch of the Gu family gave birth to a son?"

Mother Sheng was talking about Gu Tinghao's family. Sheng Wanyan nodded without hiding anything.

"Heh...your fourth brother's wife is not a good person."

"She gave birth to a child around the same time as you, who knows how she would laugh at you behind your back."

"Your fourth brother's wife is not a good person. She was weird when you got married."

Sheng Wanyan did not deny it. After all, Wang Chunmei was quite jealous when she got married.

"Mom, I don't care what other people give birth to, Yi Yi is my child anyway."

"Whether it's a boy or a girl, they are all my children and I will protect them."

When Mother Sheng heard this, she felt proud, seeing that her daughter was as protective of her child as she was.

"Thank goodness the Gu family has split up, otherwise your baby would be so different from your fourth brother's and sister's."

"There will always be some injustice."

Sheng Wanyan did not deny it. After all, if a boy is born in this era, the boy will hold his back straight and walk with a breeze.

If the family had not split up, Wang Chunmei might have been very unlucky towards him, and the Gu family would not have been on either side.

But I am not in Kyoto now, so I can't see Wang Chunmei, and she has no chance to appear in front of me.

"Mom, the Gu family is really good to me."

"No one looked down on me for having a baby."

"That's because you've done your best."

Sheng's mother suddenly spoke the truth. Her daughter was so outstanding that no family would dare to treat her badly.

What if my daughter was just a city girl, had no abilities of her own, and did not bring honor and benefits to the Gu family?

She can guarantee it! My daughter's life in the Gu family would definitely not be as happy as it is now.

Although the Gu family is a kind family, everyone knows how to choose a useless daughter-in-law compared to their grandson.

Although she was not as knowledgeable as the Gu family, she could see things clearly.

Although her in-laws were sensible, she knew that Gu's mother was partial to her youngest son.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have tolerated her unreasonable fourth daughter-in-law until today. To put it bluntly, she is partial to her youngest son!

If their daughter was as noisy as Wang Chunmei, would the Gu family endure it for several years like the fourth room did?

Absolutely not!

Mother Sheng is not a fool, she can see all this clearly.

Although Gu's mother showed that she had a lot of dissatisfaction with Wang Chunmei, she had no dissatisfaction with her youngest son.

At most, he would hate his son for having poor vision, but he would never treat Gu Tinghao badly.

If he was really disappointed with the fourth wife, why would he raise a daughter for her?

That was obviously just to make Gu Tinghao's life easier so that he wouldn't have to waver between his daughter and his wife at home.

You are not stupid. If you are really disappointed with the Fourth House, why don’t you let the Fourth House family deal with it themselves?

The most disheartened person should be that no one in the fourth room cares about anything and just lets the couple do whatever they want.

But she would not argue with a child, and she would not say anything about how the Gu family arranged it.

But my daughter must never be wronged.

Sheng Wanyan had never thought that her mother would think of this. In fact, she also knew that her mother Gu was biased.

But as long as it didn't harm the interests of their third room and didn't do any harm to Yi Yi, she wouldn't take it seriously.

After all, it was Mother Gu's own decision, not to mention that they had separated, so she didn't want to worry about it so much.

Just do what the third wife should do, and as for the rest, she has the ability to provide it for her own children.

"Mom, the Gu family cares about Yi Yi very much and often sends a lot of things."

Mother Sheng stopped nagging her, as long as the Gu family paid attention to Yi Yi.

"Forget it. Even though your mother-in-law is partial, she's not stupid."

"The Gu family has not treated you and your daughter unfairly."

"But you must be able to stand on your own feet, and especially protect Yi Yi."

"To prevent some people from making irresponsible remarks based on Yi Yi's gender."

Mother Sheng knew who he was talking about without even mentioning any names.

"Mom, I didn't let her go."

"My daughter, I will naturally protect her."

Seeing that she knew what was going on, Sheng's mother stopped talking about it. As long as her son-in-law and daughter were of the same mind, everything could be solved.

"You and Xiao Gu should be of one mind, and things will get better and better."

Sheng Wanyan nodded, but she didn't think so in her heart.

She never relied on men to live a good life, even if she and her husband were not of the same mind.

She can also raise Yi Yi well and will not let Yi Yi suffer.

Men can only be the spice of life, but cannot be the staple food.
