Chapter 148: Teaching the Way: Mother-in-law’s Art of Controlling Her Husband
"Lao Qin, your son-in-law is so good. Oh, I'm really envious. Think about my son-in-law. No matter how rich he is, what good can he do? We don't lack that little money, right? The couple are busy every day. We can only see each other a few times a year. We have to run over to see our little grandson."
"Yes, Old Qin is enjoying his life now. His daughter is so successful, and his son-in-law is so kind and filial. How wonderful it is."
"Yes, Xiao Su is still an orphan. Tell me, what's the difference between this and a live-in son-in-law? When you are old, your son-in-law will take care of you. Can you count on your son?"
In the evening, Qin Siyuan's house became lively.
The husbands of several aunts are envious of Lao Qin's life.
Qin Siyuan retired early, and his daughter became famous at a young age and made a lot of money. The family now has no shortage of food or money. Now she has found such a good son-in-law.
Look at myself again, I still have to work at this age.
People are afraid of comparison. Maybe some of them are richer and more powerful than Qin Siyuan.
But when it comes to daily life, Qin Siyuan is still the most comfortable. He doesn't have to worry about anything every day. He lives a comfortable life, an enviable one. This is what living is. As for him, he can only call himself surviving.
"No, no, I can't compare to you. I'm just making do..."
Qin Siyuan spoke quickly, but his face was full of happy smiles. When he was young, Qin Siyuan envied them, but now Qin Siyuan has nothing to envy. Although they are richer and more powerful than him, so what? At this age, they are still busy like dogs every day. Why bother? They are all over fifty, some are already in their sixties, and they should have rested long ago.
Life is so short, so enjoy it when you can. Qin Siyuan feels that his life is pretty good now. He has enough food and clothing and enough money to spend. Some things are just like that if you think about it.
Especially when people reach this age, what are they comparing?
It's not about how much money you have or how powerful you are. It's about whether your family is happy, whether you have children and grandchildren, and whether you are healthy.
Being healthy and having filial children is the greatest happiness for older people.
"Uncles, please stop chatting and eat. Let's eat and talk..."
Qin Shuyao came out with a smile on her face.
The huge restaurant is quite lively today.
Su Yang and Qin Shuyao prepared a large table of food, not to mention the wine. The men all brought good wine when they came.
It was as lively as the New Year. Looking at the table full of food, the men were envious again.
This cooking skill is amazing, the food is really delicious and tasty.
Looking at the changes in their wives today, many people couldn't help but praise Su Yang. As a man, who doesn't want his wife to be beautiful? It would be pleasing to look at her every day.
The excitement continued until midnight, and Su Yang was drunk. He didn't want to drink, but there was no way he could resist the urging of his elders. After the uncles and aunts persuaded him, the aunts continued to urge him to drink. As a junior, he had no choice but to drink, so he just let it go.
This banquet was just like the wedding banquet of Su Yang and Qin Shuyao. Although I was drunk, I was very happy.
"Yaoyao, these sheets and other things have been washed before. There are new toothbrushes, toothpaste, and slippers in the bathroom drawer..."
After the guests left, Zhao Xiuxiu busied herself tidying up Qin Shuyao's previous room.
The bedding and other items were replaced with freshly washed ones. Qin Shuyao hadn't lived in this room for a long time, but Zhao Xiuxiu cleaned it frequently, so it was quite clean.
Looking at the room Zhao Xiuxiu had cleaned for her, Qin Shuyao couldn't help but feel her eyes well up. At that moment, the knot that had been entangled in her heart for years seemed to be untied. The motherly love she had always dreamed of seemed to return.
"mom……"
Qin Shuyao looked at Zhao Xiuxiu, and seeing Qin Shuyao like this, Zhao Xiuxiu's eyes also turned red.
"Yaoyao, I'm sorry for all these years. I always thought that your brother is so much younger than you, and you should give in to him and help him. But I ignored your feelings. Now I understand that you two are my children, and Shumo has his own life. He still needs to rely on himself to decide how to go on in the future. Otherwise, even if I leave him a fortune, he may not be able to live a good life."
Zhao Xiuxiu's words made Qin Shuyao's tears burst out, and they fell drop by drop. Looking at Qin Shuyao's tears, Zhao Xiuxiu's eyes were red and she felt guilty. Thinking about the stupid things she had done over the years, Zhao Xiuxiu really wanted to slap herself. Why did she get stuck in that dead end all these years and couldn't get out?
"Okay, you and Yangyang should live a good life from now on. Yangyang is a good kid and is sincere to you. Otherwise, why would he marry a grown-up girl like you when he is so young and capable? Although you are usually busy, you should take care of the family now that you are married. Don't just focus on your career. How much money is considered a lot?"
Zhao Xiuxiu said earnestly, and Qin Shuyao nodded.
"Also, whether at home or outside, remember to respect each other and give men face. Don't act like a child. Men are like children too, no matter how old they are or how strong they are. You have to coax them when it's time. Look at your dad, why hasn't he divorced me all these years? It's because I know how to coax him. I may be a bit of a spoiled brat, but when I make him angry, I know how to coax him. I act coquettishly, apologize, and say a few nice words to him, and your dad will stop being angry right away. Isn't that what men love?"
The mother and daughter sat down on the bed and started chatting. Zhao Xiuxiu's words made Qin Shuyao burst out laughing. She hadn't expected her mother to have such a lovely side.
"Your dad was a handsome man when he was young. He had many admirers, and he was also very proud. But in the end, I won him over. Our family was poor at that time, and your dad was busy with work. He often came home very late. But your dad never said he was tired. But if a man doesn't say he is tired, don't assume he is not tired. The most important thing for a woman is to understand men and their hard work. When they come home after a tiring day at work, you prepare a hot meal for them and say some sweet words to them. Even if they are tired, they will feel very happy. That's what a man is."
Qin Shuyao nodded at Zhao Xiuxiu's words. At this moment, Qin Shuyao was very surprised. She didn't expect that her mother would have such a side.
Now she finally understood why her father didn't divorce her mother. Her mother had been doing a lot of things over the years. If she were another man, she would have been unable to bear it long ago.
Now the reason has been found. It's not that my father doesn't dare to divorce, but that my mother is so good at managing her husband that my father is reluctant to divorce.
Make you angry, quarrel with you, and then run to you and act coquettishly and apologize. This trick is amazing.
In today's society, there are really many women who can act like a spoiled brat, especially young people today. They often act unreasonably and think that men should spoil them. Especially those women who drink too much poisonous chicken soup are even more capable of acting like a spoiled brat. Many times, it is obviously the woman who is unreasonable and brainless, but in the end it is the man who compromises. Not only does he have to pretend to be wrong, but he also has to apologize to the woman to appease him. Then these women think that this trick is very powerful and will use it again next time.
Little do they know that such unreasonable behavior often forces men to apologize. However, each apology only diminishes the woman's standing in the man's heart. Ultimately, the man no longer wants to continue this relationship and chooses to break up and leave. At this point, these women often cry and call the man a scumbag, never looking for the fault in themselves.
Zhao Xiuxiu knows how to control her husband, so she begins to pass on some of her experiences and skills to Qin Shuyao.
These things were summed up by Zhao Xiuxiu herself over the years. Relying on these methods, Zhao Xiuxiu has kept Qin Siyuan under control over the years.
When Qin Siyuan was young, he was also a handsome man and a talented scholar. When it comes to attracting bees and butterflies, he is very good at it.
Zhao Xiuxiu's teachings made Qin Shuyao understand a lot.
Men should be coaxed when they should be coaxed and scolded when they should be scolded. Women can act up, but they should learn to admit their mistakes after they act up.
If acting cute doesn't work, just pounce. Men are often just animals with lower bodies. Qin Shuyao blushed at Zhao Xiuxiu's experience.
"And, most importantly. You two have been married for so long, it's time to have a child. If you don't, you'll really be an older mother."
Finally, Zhao Xiuxiu looked at Qin Shuyao and said. Qin Shuyao blushed and nodded.
"We're working on it..."
Qin Shuyao said in a low voice.
"That's fine. Go tell Yangyang to go back to his room and sleep. He drank quite a bit today, so let him rest early. Oh, and pour him a glass of cold water. He'll definitely be thirsty at night after drinking so much. Don't sleep so soundly at night..."
Zhao Xiuxiu explained and Qin Shuyao nodded.
The mother and daughter walked out of the room and each helped their husbands back to their own rooms.
"I'm going to take a shower..."
Su Yang walked into the room and said in a daze.
"Don't wash it. You're not allowed to shower after drinking. Lie down and I'll wipe your face with a towel..."
Qin Shuyao said, Su Yang nodded and took off all his clothes and shoes and put them beside him, then fell on the bed.
Qin Shuyao came out with a wet towel and wiped Su Yang's face and hands. Su Yang really couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep in a daze.
Looking at Su Yang sleeping soundly on the bed, Qin Shuyao showed a happy smile on her face.
After covering Su Yang with a blanket, Qin Shuyao picked up Su Yang's dirty clothes and went into the bathroom.
Washing clothes and cooking were things Qin Shuyao had hardly done before. But now, she was willing to make some changes for Su Yang.
Qin Shuyao also wants to be a good wife and mother.
The reason I didn't do it before was because I hadn't met the right person. This is love, very mysterious. When love strikes, many people will willingly change themselves for their loved one.
In one's life, it is not easy to meet someone whom you love and who loves you, and it is even more difficult to marry someone whom you love and who loves you.
Therefore, Qin Shuyao feels that she is very lucky now. As for her marriage, Qin Shuyao is also willing to work hard with Su Yang!
