Chapter 506 Like-minded
Madam Xu was often looked down upon by the ladies of high-ranking families in the capital, who said she was uncouth and didn't know the rules. Unexpectedly, someone admired her so much. The compatibility of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was of great importance. Madam Xu was very satisfied with Lin Yuesha. The two immediately huddled together and talked intimately.
“My parents and older brother practice martial arts, and I also practiced martial arts diligently from a young age. As for you, you are a bit older.”
Madam Xu stopped mid-sentence, noticing the light in the little girl's eyes, and decided not to keep her in suspense any longer, so she continued, "But it's not too late to learn now."
Although I can't reach her level, I can still handle a few petty thugs when I'm out and about. As a woman, I should be even more careful to protect myself.
"Yue Sha, you will get married in the future. Do you know how hard it is for women, how low their status is? If you meet a bad husband who is drunk and beats you, how will you cope?"
Madam Xu instructed Lin Yuesha, especially as her daughter-in-law, that she must have some skills to keep her son Xu Da in check.
Want to go out and meet Luo Wang in secret? Very well, your legs are broken, so crawl there if you don't mind the embarrassment.
How can you correct her homosexual tendencies? There's no other way but to beat her, especially her son, who won't learn his lesson unless he's beaten.
"Auntie, are you saying I also have the opportunity to learn martial arts?"
Lin Yuesha's hands trembled with excitement. She had a thirst for knowledge, and Madam Xu was absolutely right. Women must have the ability to protect themselves. If they don't like someone, they should never talk back or play tricks. They should just take action and strike. In the face of absolute strength, playing tricks is just a paper tiger and is of no use at all!
"Of course, you're not moving in next door. I'll have my wife open a small side gate between the two houses so you can come over every day and keep me company."
Madam Xu has no daughter and likes Lin Yuesha very much. She has no resistance to her as before and is looking forward to Lin Yuesha moving in as soon as possible.
Hmph, someone's teaming up with her against Xu Da. If she doesn't listen, we'll switch to doubles!
"Auntie, is it really okay?"
Lin Yuesha never expected to have such a reward for her visit, and she completely forgot about Xu Da. Madam Xu was her idol.
"certainly."
Madam Xu nodded seriously. She had never liked women who were too rigid in their rules, like puppets on strings, who were not free and unrestrained at all.
Women should be straightforward and honest. What's the point of composing poems and couplets as a pretentious pursuit? It can't put food on the table, it's just idle nonsense.
The poetry gathering held at her residence earlier was something she couldn't refuse to invite people to, because she was also worried about Xu Da's marriage.
Madam Xu chatted with Lin Yuesha for more than an hour.
Xu Da waited in the flower hall. He was originally bruised and swollen and didn't want to see anyone because of his appearance. However, after hearing from the servants that Lin Yuesha had come to his door, he figured it might be related to following Yu Zicheng last night.
The case of the missing pregnant woman is of great importance and must be solved as soon as possible without delay, which is why he sat in the flower hall with the black cloth covering his face, waiting for someone.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yuesha was kidnapped by her own mother, and she waited and waited but she didn't come back.
"Go to Madam's courtyard and see if Miss Lin has been beaten."
Xu Da felt guilty towards Lin Yuesha. Yesterday, he couldn't withstand his mother's severe torture when he got home, and he didn't want to reveal that it was the Prince of Luo who had instructed him. So he blurted out that the person who came up with the idea was Lin Yuesha, and that he had accompanied her to see the world.
Oh no, his mother must be holding a grudge against Lin Yuesha. If she gives him a good beating now, he won't be able to explain himself!
While Xu Da waited for news from his servants, Madam Xu was imparting her experience to Lin Yuesha, saying, "A sapling won't grow straight if it's not pruned, and a person will become eccentric if not disciplined. We still have to rely on force to solve this."
If they don't listen, just beat them up.
Of course, raising sons and daughters is different. Sons grow up with a lot of hardship, while daughters are pampered.
"Auntie, what you said makes perfect sense."
Lin Yuesha echoed Madam Xu, saying that since it wasn't her son who was being beaten, it was Xu Da who was the one who suffered.
It was very pleasant to listen to Madam Xu speak. There were no taboos about what she said, and she didn't need to think carefully about whether her words were appropriate. She could speak freely.
Laughter and cheerful voices filled the flower hall. Madam Xu had already eaten most of the brown sugar biscuits that Lin Yuesha had brought. Her cooking skills had always been terrible before she got married, and she hadn't cooked for many years. She wanted to learn a few dishes when her husband returned.
"If Auntie doesn't mind, Yue Sha can teach you a few dishes."
Lin Yuesha's homemade shredding magic solved her problem of poor knife skills. She explained it to Madam Xu, who was quite interested.
"My hands are fine for holding knives and guns, but they tremble when I hold a kitchen knife."
Mrs. Xu had no talent for cooking and had been discouraged for many years. Lin Yuesha's comfort rekindled her confidence.
"Madam, the young master just sent someone to ask if he can see Miss Lin."
A maidservant announced from outside the door. After hearing the announcement, Madam Xu frowned and said, "He thinks he can just see me whenever he wants? Who does he think he is? Go tell Xu Da to come and take Yue Sha away."
This is how Lin Yuesha's importance is demonstrated, rather than just having any servant lead the way.
When Xu Da received the news, he was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. He paused and asked, "Did my mother beat Lin Yuesha to the ground, so she's waiting for me to carry her out?"
Oh no, his mother is a troublemaker; she'll start a fight at the slightest provocation.
"No, Madam said it was very impolite of you not to pick up Miss Lin."
After the servant finished speaking, he ran off in a flash, leaving Xu Da frozen in place.
Xu Da was puzzled, but after thinking it over, he went to his mother's courtyard to pick her up. He also apologized to Lin Yuesha, saying, "Yuesha, that's just how my mother is."
Although he was beaten, he was still beaten, so he couldn't possibly rebel because he didn't have the ability.
"Auntie is such a kind person, I like her so much!"
Lin Yuesha said happily, "Cousin, it seems I need to move next door as soon as possible so I can see Auntie every day."
Xu Da: ? ? ?
Why are you wearing a mask?
After expressing her emotions, Lin Yuesha noticed that Xu Da was acting strangely.
"Look."
Xu Da ripped off his mask in one go and calmly said, "This is what the good people you talk about did."
In the mansion, all the maids, servants, and young men knew that Xu Da had no shame anymore; he had been beaten countless times since he was a child.
"ah."
Lin Yuesha was very embarrassed. It turned out that Madam Xu was right. Because she had this ability, she never had to worry about other people's feelings.
Being cunning takes a lot of brainpower and is quite tiring. It would be so much more satisfying to just start a fight and beat the scumbag until he screams in agony!
With the time to return to the Lin residence drawing ever closer, Lin Yuesha was even more eager to move next door to Xu Da.
Madam Xu was efficient. As soon as she agreed to Lin Yuesha's request, she had her maid open the side gate. From then on, the two families were only separated by a gate, making it very convenient for Lin Yuesha to visit.
