"Grandma, go!"
"Mother, Xiaoman won't go."
The mother and daughter spoke almost simultaneously.
Xiaoman didn't know where to go, but she wanted to go anywhere that involved going out to play.
Even though Yue Jiuyue explained, and even though Yue Jiuyue's behavior during this period didn't seem like she was trying to sell Xiaoman, Liu was always worried that something might go wrong, so she always avoided Yue Jiuyue whenever possible.
Since the mother and daughter disagreed, Yue Jiuyue shrugged at Xiaoman, choosing to respect Liu's opinion, and left.
"Wow! Grandma! We want to go!"
As soon as Xiaoman saw Yue Jiuyue leave, she burst into tears and hurriedly tried to run out to chase after Yue Jiuyue.
"Xiaoman, be good, okay? After we finish eating, Mom will take you out to play."
Liu pulled Xiaoman aside and coaxed her gently. It took a long time to calm her down before she finally had time to complain about the mother-in-law who had made Xiaoman cry.
If it weren't for her "good mother-in-law" asking that one question, Xiaoman wouldn't have been crying and making a scene!
Yue Jiuyue, who was being scolded by her eldest daughter-in-law for being too talkative, was standing not far from the ancient well, watching the villagers come to fetch water with smiles on their faces.
It's a pity, once that water is used up, it's gone. I wonder if they'll still be able to laugh later.
When Yue Jiuyue saw Lin Chaonan happily carrying two buckets of water home, the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up as well.
This is her adopted son. Perhaps she will spend the rest of her life in this unfamiliar world. In the future, she will have two or three more daughters-in-law, and countless grandchildren. She may even become a great-grandmother or great-great-grandmother...
Considering that she is already thirty-six years old and a grandmother of a two-year-old, it is entirely possible that she will be fifty-six years old in twenty years and seventy-six years old in forty years, becoming the great-great-grandmother of the Lin family.
"Mother, what brings you here? Have you come to see if our Lin family's ancestors have appeared?"
Lin Chaonan carried water and stood in front of Yue Jiuyue without complaining about the fatigue. His wide grin revealed his back teeth.
"Um."
Although she is only a grandmother now, she will be an ancestor of the Lin family in the future. In a sense, she is an ancestor of the Lin family. She is just getting used to it now.
"Mother, is our Lin family ancestor afraid of people? I see that the water from the well seems to be getting less and less. Maybe it's really like you said, it will be gone in a while. Mother, you stay here and take your time. I'll go back first and see if I can come back and fetch another load later."
Lin Chaonan's initial question was naturally asked cautiously, but seeing Yue Jiuyue glare at him, he immediately offered an explanation and then fled in panic.
His mother is becoming more and more assertive. In the past, when the four brothers would yell and scream at him, or even hit him with a broom handle, he wasn't afraid at all; at most, he was just afraid of the pain.
But now, his mother only glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, and he was so frightened that his heart trembled and he kept his distance from her.
Yue Jiuyue watched Lin Chaonan walk faster and faster, and scoffed lightly.
This child seems so innocent, yet she always speaks the truth. This little devil of hers is just afraid of meeting people.
"Mom, dinner is ready, come home and eat!"
Standing at the door of her house, Liu shouted loudly towards the west.
This reminded Yue Jiuyue of a line that often appears in period dramas: transportation is basically done on foot, communication is basically done by shouting, security is basically done by dogs, and warmth is basically done by shivering...
