After seeing Xiaoman'er off, Yue Jiuyue breathed a sigh of relief.
She no longer had to be the "bad guy" who made Xiaoman'er face the cruel reality.
Lin Chaodong would naturally play the bad guy. She didn't know what Lin Chaodong had said to Xiaoman'er. Perhaps Xiaoman'er had never even seen Lin Chaodong, or perhaps Lin Chaodong had told some white lie. From that day on, Xiaoman'er never asked about Liu Shi again. She didn't seem to have changed at all and was still as naughty as before.
Life went on in this uneventful yet extraordinary way, and before we knew it, winter had arrived.
The first snow was a heavy snowfall, lasting less than a day and a night, but still reaching above ankle height. The whole world was dressed in a new coat, a silver-white wonderland, exceptionally enchanting.
Yue Jiuyue didn't dare to go out. She was getting old, and by the standards of this era, she probably had less than ten years left to live. She was indeed an old woman. So, her son and daughter-in-law, as well as her maids and servants, were all worried that she might slip and fall while going down the mountain. They all prevented her from going out and moving around freely. She could only look at the plum blossoms in her courtyard or stand in front of the gate and look at the world covered in white snow.
She doesn't know what other people's forties are like. She always feels that she is still very young, in the prime of her life, and not yet to be treated like a fragile glass doll. If she hadn't become lazy in the past two years, she could still work in the fields, carrying loads and sacks without any problem.
Before you know it, she's already forty years old. That age does sound a bit scary, considering she's actually not even thirty yet.
"Madam, we've been out long enough. Let's go back to our room. It's getting cold, and you might catch a chill."
The maids in her courtyard saw her standing under the tree, looking up at the plum blossoms, and even though it was a sunny day, they didn't dare let her stay in the courtyard for long.
So, when people get old, this is not a good thing either. Their sons will use the excuse of "doing it for your own good" to have the maids and servants keep a close eye on them, and even looking at flowers will be subject to control.
“I’m dressed very warmly, with only my eyes showing in this bundle, so I won’t get cold.”
She didn't want to go back.
I used to think that being a salted fish was great because no one cared about her; she was at the top of the food chain, and she could do whatever she wanted at home without anyone daring to say a word against it.
Things are different now.
Despite being the eldest son, Lin Chaodong was determined to settle down in the city. In the end, he divorced Liu and spent nearly half a month in a daze. Lin Chaonan, who considered himself the pillar of the family, dragged him out to work, and he no longer had time to wallow in self-pity.
After learning that Lin Chaodong had divorced Liu, Lin Chaobei treated his wife even better, and the couple became even more affectionate and inseparable. Fortunately, Lin Chaonan had conscripted Lin Chaodong as a laborer, otherwise, he would have been exhausted to death sooner or later if he had to manage all the big and small things in the house by himself.
It was precisely because Lin Chaonan took charge of the household affairs that he unknowingly seized control of the household and also began managing the hands-off manager Yue Jiuyue.
A sweet little trouble!
Although Yue Jiuyue didn't like being constrained, she wasn't too averse to it either. She didn't think that she was becoming a caged bird because of this; it was just the younger generation's concern, after all, she was indeed "old".
