Seeing her like this, Lin Gang wondered if he had gone too far.

He whispered, "If you feel bad, we can go back. I...I brought five dollars with me."

Having said that, he took her and walked back.

Chen Xia stood still, "No."

Lin Gang stopped and asked, "Why?"

Chen Xia whispered, "This is my first time rebelling against my father. I...I may not be used to it."

"Do you think this is a good idea?"

"I have no idea."

Lin Gang sighed. The more he looked at her, the more he felt that she looked like a pitiful cabbage.

It's not worth the money, because it's cheap and someone may take it out and give it away at any time.

"So what do you think of my mother and my sister at home?"

"They are very nice, aren't they?" Her younger sister even gave her a bracelet. "My younger sister is very nice to me, and so is my mother. She is even nicer to me than my own mother."

"I'm not asking you that." Lin Gang smiled and said, "I'm asking you, how do you think my parents get along?"

Afraid that she wouldn't understand, he added, "Compared to your parents?"

To be honest, she was shocked to see the status of the women in their family these days.

The mother-in-law dared to yell at the father-in-law. Aren't men the gods? How could she yell at the father-in-law?

She had never thought about it before.

Also, although the younger sister respects her eldest brother and also respects her eldest sister-in-law, she doesn't give her younger brother any face at all and she even pulls his ears.

In her mind, this was something she couldn't even think about.

If she dared to scold Yaozu or pull his ears at home, her parents would skin her alive.

And she is so nice to Yaozu, but she never calls her sister.

The younger sister pulled the younger brother's ears, and the younger brother cried out to his sister for mercy.

Her brother was so tall, she didn't believe he couldn't beat her.

"It's very different." Thinking of this, her nose felt sore, and she added, "It's really very different."

Lin Gang asked: "So, do you like your family like that, or do you like my family like this?"

Chen Xia didn't even have to think about it and answered directly, "I like your family like this."

Lin Gang smiled and said, "That's good. Then remember, when you become a mother in the future, you must set a good example for your children. You must be a mother who can make your children confident. Don't listen to your mother in everything."

He finally figured out that his father-in-law and brother-in-law were the result of his mother-in-law's habits.

It is also the mother-in-law’s credit that my daughter has been raised to be timid and submissive.

In addition, they were lucky and their eldest brother-in-law was a weak man, so they thought they could bully their married daughter.

Chen Xia felt that what Lin Gang said was still far away, and she had no confidence that she could do it.

However, she nodded slightly.

"I'll try my best."

Having been indoctrinated with soft-hearted thinking for many years, Lin Gang did not expect her to change drastically immediately.

As long as she is willing to change, there is still a long way to go.

…

Compared to the unpleasant ending here, the Ye family was very lively.

In an era when preference for boys over girls was very serious, the fact that Ye Lian was so confident must have something to do with her family.

Her mother's family used to be a scholarly family, but later for some reasons, Ye Lian's grandfather's generation was sent to the countryside for reform, and then the whole family stayed here.

Ye Lian's grandfather received a Western education and was very open-minded, which made his descendants more open-minded as well.

Respect tradition, but do not favor boys over girls.

Lin Yuyao and Lin Ping are both very good-looking. In their eyes, their daughter and son-in-law have returned with a pair of beautiful mascots.

It's festive just by looking at it.

In order to welcome their returning daughter and son-in-law, the Ye family killed the livestock early in the morning and prepared a sumptuous family dinner.

Everyone had a lively and noisy lunch.

After dinner, they sat together, eating melon seeds and chatting. They talked about happy things and inevitably mentioned Lin Yuyao's marriage.

Ye Lian's father has passed away, leaving only her mother.

The old lady looked at Lin Yuyao, holding her hand and sighing.

"Yuyao, I've heard about your situation. It's a good thing that the engagement is cancelled. Don't be sad. No matter how good he is, it's useless if he doesn't treat you well."

Lin Yuyao choked. She was really not sad.

I was just very angry, but now I am no longer angry.

Why do they all think she is sad?

"Grandma, I'm not sad. I'm glad I found out early. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if I found out after I got married."

The old lady thought that these words were meant to comfort her. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and then forced a smile, saying, "Okay, you are right to think so. Three-legged frogs are hard to find, but two-legged men are everywhere. Let's not have him, let's find a better one. Let your cousin find you one in their factory, one with a formal job, no worse than that boy."

My cousin immediately said, "Cousin, wait for me to find you an honest man."

Lin Yuyao smiled awkwardly. How could she tell him that she might have a boyfriend?

Only her family members knew about this, and she specifically asked her parents not to tell anyone for the time being, as it was still uncertain whether it would succeed.

Now that it was brought up, Lin Yuyao looked at Ye Lian as if asking for help.

Ye Lian smiled and helped Lin Yuyao out of the predicament, "Mom, Yuyao is still young, I don't want to talk about it for now, I want to keep her for two more years. If we talk about it again, I have to keep my eyes open and can't easily promise her away."

"That's right. Let's talk about it again in two years."

"Yes."

When the family returned from their grandmother's house, they saw that Lin Gang and Chen Xia had already returned.

Ye Lian asked in surprise: "You guys are back so early? Are you okay?"

"It's okay. We left after lunch and have been back for over an hour."

It took more than an hour to get back after walking more than ten miles on the mountain road. Calculating the time, I actually came back right after eating.

"You're leaving after dinner. Does your father-in-law have any objections?"

Lin Gang said, "Don't worry, no."

Anyway, he can't hear their opinions, so just assume they have no opinions.

After hearing what he said, Ye Lian did not ask any more questions.

I exchanged a few pleasantries with my daughter-in-law and asked her what she wanted to eat for dinner.

Chen Xia was flattered, frightened and moved when she heard this.

She never dared to say what she wanted to eat, and she just ate whatever was left at home.

After being persuaded by her husband all the way, she finally plucked up the courage to make her request.

"Mom, I want to eat the piece of meat hanging by the chimney."

After saying this, he glanced at Lin Gang uneasily.

Lin Gang gave her an encouraging look.

Ye Lian was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

When I asked this daughter-in-law before, she always said "it's all right". This is a rare time that she said something different.

Ye Lian was very happy, patted her hand and said, "Okay, let's eat that piece of meat tonight."

"Lin Ping, go take that piece of meat next to the chimney and wash it."

"Why me?"

"Then let your elder brother go. Your sister and I don't dare to climb the stairs anyway."

He didn't dare to call his eldest brother, so in the end he had to go and get it with the ladder.

While washing the meat, he suddenly remembered why his sister was afraid to climb the stairs?
