Chapter 1213 Don't rely on your aunt for everything; you need to be more discerning.
Mr. Xiao understood what his daughter-in-law meant. After a moment's thought, he said, "I haven't been back to the village for a long time. It's best if I go back and talk about this myself."
Deep down, he and his wife both wanted the village to know that he, Xiao Changsheng, now had a son and was no longer the childless man they called him.
Xiao's mother naturally wouldn't object: "If I weren't still in my postpartum confinement period, I would want to go back with you and let those people who laughed at us back then have a good look at us."
Fearing that she would be upset again by recalling the past, Mr. Xiao quickly comforted her, saying, "It's all in the past. Our good days are yet to come. There's no need to get angry about what happened before. It's not worth it if it makes you sick."
Thinking that her son was still young and would need her care in the future, Xiao's mother said, "You're right. Nothing is more important than our son right now. It won't be too late for me to take him back to the village when he's a little older."
The "turning around" she mentioned was, of course, a way of showing off back in the village.
After calming the man down, Mr. Xiao thought about the troubles he had been going through these past few days.
I thought it would be good to go back to the village for a visit. I should try to stay away from those people in the future to avoid a messy situation, and not have to embarrass myself when I'm old.
Just then, Chunxiao vaguely heard her parents talking outside: "Dad, when are you coming back to the village? Can you take me with you?"
Mr. Xiao glanced at her and said, "You have your final exams at the end of the month, so don't go back this time. When summer vacation starts, even if you stay in the village for a while, your mother and I won't have any objections."
Chunxiao shook Xiao's father's arm: "No, I want to go back to the village with you."
Unexpectedly, Xiao's father slapped her hand away: "Alright, how old are you? Your eldest sister is going back to her village in the next few days. If you leave again, I'm afraid your aunt won't be able to handle it. Anyway, there's not much time left until the end of the month. I'll send you back to your village when you have a holiday, so you can stay as long as you want."
Chunxiao heard her father say, "My mother hasn't even finished her postpartum confinement period, why is my eldest sister already going back?"
Mr. Xiao frowned and said, "Your eldest sister has been out for so many days. What's wrong with going back to see her? Even if she goes back, you'll still be there."
Chunxiao was unhappy: "Dad, you just said that I have final exams at the end of the month, and now you're saying this. Don't you think it's contradictory? I still need to review my lessons when I come back. If my older sister goes back, how will I have time to study?"
After hearing Chunxiao's words, Xiao's mother said, "Alright, you can study your own things. I don't need you here. Even if your sister goes back, there's still your aunt."
Mr. Xiao was displeased: "What are you saying? Aunt Miao is already in poor health. The fact that she took the initiative to take care of you during your postpartum period is already a huge favor. How can we let her do everything for you all by herself?"
When Xiao's mother saw what her husband said, she realized that she had spoken too quickly and quickly added, "I didn't say that Aunt Miao should do everything by herself. I'm here too."
Mr. Xiao thought about it and agreed. In the village, most women would have to go back to work after a few days. Even if a family doted on their wives, it would be very good if they could rest for half a month. Seeing Chunxiao looking at him expectantly, he could only nod and say, "You can go back, but you have to help your aunt more when you come back. Don't rely on your aunt for everything. You have to be more discerning."
Chunxiao's face lit up with joy as soon as she saw that her goal had been achieved: "I understand."
She wanted to go back to the village, naturally wanting to show off, especially to Liu Ruhua from the eldest branch of the Liu family who had bullied her so much. She wanted to see their expressions when they found out she had a younger brother, to see her clothes now without a single patch, and to see Liu Ruhua's envious look.
