Yue Jiuyue is ultimately just a grandmother. No matter how good she is to Xiaoman'er, she can't replace the fatherly and motherly love that Lin Chaodong and his wife can give to Xiaoman'er. Besides, she is always quite busy and can't be with Xiaoman'er all the time.
In addition, for some reason, Xiaoman'er no longer wants to go out to play, and she doesn't bother the third and fourth sons to play. She stays at home every day and does chores with Liu, such as wiping tables and sweeping floors, or washing and picking vegetables. Occasionally, she will go to the fields to help out. She is very sensible.
In the few days after Lin Chaodong and the others returned, Yue Jiuyue saw Xiaoman washing and drying diapers, and she also saw Xiaoman comforting Dazhuang and changing his diapers. Although these were all seemingly normal things, and almost every girl in every family went through this, Yue Jiuyue still felt sorry for her.
Lin Chaodong and Liu Shi were both busy, one anxiously checking on the crops in his fields, the other tidying up the house and washing clothes.
Although Yue Jiuyue felt sorry for Xiaoman'er, she never taught her to rebel. She was afraid she couldn't bear the consequences of Xiaoman'er's rebellion. Would she be scolded by Madam Liu? Or beaten by Lin Chaodong? Or would she awaken her rebellious spirit and become even more aware of her parents' preference for sons over daughters?
She can't change anything, nor does she intend to.
"Young Miss, I'm washing clothes by the lake. Just bring these diapers over for me to wash!"
When Liu returned after washing the clothes, she saw Xiaoman washing diapers and quickly went over to snatch them away and put them aside.
Xiao Man'er didn't say anything or try to take it from her. She helped hang the clothes that Liu had washed on the clothesline.
This kind of thing happens every day at home. Liu had mentioned it to Liu before, but Liu didn't say anything. Then Liu went to Yue Jiuyue. Yue Jiuyue had never been a mother and had never raised such a young child, so how could she say that Liu, as a mother, was doing something wrong?
So it turned out like this; the young lady didn't act like a young lady anymore.
Although this is a farmhouse and everyone has to work, there are servants in the house. Does a girl need to be so sensible at such a young age?
Liu didn't understand, and neither did Yue Jiuyue.
In just two months, how did Madam Liu manage to raise Xiaoman'er to be like this? Sometimes Yue Jiuyue couldn't help but wonder if Xiaoman'er was just like her.
She had also observed that Xiaoman'er did not show any particularly unusual behavior, except that she was more sensible. However, Yue Jiuyue was becoming more cautious when using the things she bought from the mall.
"Miss, please go back to your room! The sun is getting stronger these days, I can dry it myself."
Liu wanted to coax Xiaoman back to her room, since working was her duty. If someone else did all the work, what would be the point of having her?
Although this is just an ordinary farmhouse, she can eat her fill here, and life is better than when she was in her husband's family. The only difference is that the young lady always tries to take over the work from her. Although the young lady is small and can't do much work, it makes her feel a sense of crisis.
A sense of crisis that could be returned or sold again at any time.
When Xiaoman'er saw that Liu Shi wouldn't let her do any work, she stood there for a while, then silently went back to her room.
"Little girl, now that you're a big sister, you have to take good care of your little brother, okay? I don't even know if my health will ever be cured, and from now on our family will depend on your little brother to hold the fort..."
