"Once upon a time, there was a crow that was thirsty and saw a bottle that was half full of water..."
"There was a group of tadpoles. When they were first born, their mother wasn't home. They saw that the ducklings and fish all had mothers, so they wanted to find their own mother. They swam around in the water, searching everywhere..."
"Long ago, there was a man who saw a bell hanging on someone's door and wanted to steal it..."
Yue Jiuyue held Xiaoman'er's hand and strolled home. As expected, she told Xiaoman'er many stories along the way.
Back home, Yue Jiuyue handed Xiaoman'er over to Liu Shi and told her everything Xiaoman'er had done. As for what Liu Shi should do, that was up to her.
Back in her room, Yue Jiuyue closed the door, took out her bed, lay down, and quickly fell asleep.
Yue Jiuyue slept very soundly and didn't even hear Xiaoman'er crying.
Of course, it's also possible that Xiaoman didn't cry at all; in any case, she slept from noon until the sun was setting.
After putting away the bed, Yue Jiuyue opened the door and saw Liu Shi cooking dinner over a fire, and Xiao Man'er, who glanced at her, immediately lowered her head and pretended not to see her, and moved closer to Liu Shi, grabbing Liu Shi's clothes.
Hmm...
Has she brought back her "wicked grandmother" persona?
"Mother, you're awake? The food will be ready soon. Man'er's father and the others have gone to work on the land again, they should be back soon."
After a pause, Madam Liu glanced at her daughter and, forcing herself to speak, continued:
“Mother, Xiaoman’er, I’ve already talked to her, and she knows she was wrong. She’s still young…”
Xiaoman'er is still young, and this is her first child. After four years of marriage, she only has this one child. She almost thought she couldn't have any more children, so she poured so much love into Xiaoman'er. She really couldn't bear to say a harsh word to her, let alone criticize her, or even hit her.
Yue Jiuyue: (′-ι_-｀)
Damn it, they're all like this. She even had the urge to destroy something or curse loudly to vent her frustration.
Okay, she's a model youth who doesn't believe in being violent or yelling; she believes in reasoning with people or ignoring them.
Yue Jiuyue adjusted her facial muscles, made a smiling expression, and said to Madam Liu:
"Okay, I understand."
Anyway, the daughter isn't hers. Whether she's arrogant or domineering in the future is none of her business. Reality will teach them a lesson sooner or later.
Yue Jiuyue went out to wash her hands and face. No matter how much Liu hesitated to speak, she was neither a close older sister nor her husband. She was just a mother-in-law. She had even handed over the power to manage the household, so why would she care what others thought?
All she wants to do right now is manage her own little plot of land and her own savings; she doesn't want to care about anything else.
She wouldn't have taken Xiaoman out this afternoon if Xiaoman hadn't insisted on coming along, and if several people hadn't persuaded her otherwise.
As for Madam Liu, if she hadn't felt sorry for her, being a pregnant woman, and hadn't seen so many pregnant women in modern times suffering from depression due to overthinking, she wouldn't have bothered to comfort her.
She, Yue Jiuyue, is just that cold and ruthless.
"Mom! I'm back!"
Lin Chaobei, who was still on the mountain, immediately shouted at the top of his lungs when he saw Yue Jiuyue in the courtyard.
