So what if she doesn't receive exclusive favoritism? Her mother-in-law's kindness towards her is genuine.
Besides, she is now her mother-in-law's only daughter-in-law, and the kindness her mother-in-law shows her is truly unique.
So, she felt incredibly happy.
On the way back to Dongling, Wang Xiaoxue carried the two small baskets of cherries herself, without asking Lin Chaobei for help. These were all her mother-in-law's special treats, and she didn't want to share them with anyone else, even her dear husband.
Lin Chaobei originally wanted to help his wife carry the cherries. Even though they weren't heavy, he still felt sorry for her. But his wife seemed afraid that he would take them from her and dodged away, insisting on carrying them herself.
He wasn't unaware of his wife's affection for his mother, but he hadn't expected it to reach such an obsessive level. He figured the two baskets of cherries weren't heavy, so if she wanted to carry them herself, so be it. He could just eat a few more when they got back.
Unexpectedly, after returning home, his wife carefully washed the cherries and reluctantly gave him only one cherry!
Would he be willing to do that?
Finally, he ate to his heart's content, then embraced his wife, who was limp as a mush, and drifted off to sleep.
(︶.?︶?)
On the battlefield, the soldiers of both sides fought with all their might, thrusting their weapons at each other. Soldiers fell one after another, and then more and more soldiers fell. Suddenly, the battle was over, leaving only corpses scattered all over the ground and rivers of blood flowing.
A rural woman in her thirties or forties suddenly appeared, staggering as she examined the soldiers lying on the ground, searching for something.
No, that's not it.
No, that's not it.
The other one isn't yet.
Where is he?
...
When Yue Jiuyue woke up, she looked at the curtain above her head with a blank expression.
Suddenly she felt something cool and wet in her hair. She raised her hand to touch it and found her hand covered in water.
It was obvious those were her tears; she had such a dream, and she cried.
However, she couldn't tell whether the person in her dream was herself or the original owner of the body.
It must have been the original owner of this body. She wasn't her biological mother, so even if she was thinking about her during the day and dreaming about her at night, she shouldn't have cried like this.
If it were the original owner, that seems unlikely. This body belongs to her now, not the original owner. The original owner might have already been reincarnated. After all, having gone through a life-or-death experience, she wouldn't want to go through it a second time.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be who she is today.
I'm a bit conflicted.
However, it's not worth dwelling on.
It was just a dream.
Although she was also very worried about Lin Chaoxi's safety, there was nothing she could do but worry.
Although the dream was over, Yue Jiuyue would still think about it from time to time. Sometimes, even when she hadn't had the same dream again at night, she would suddenly wake up and remember the dream. Other times, she would be daytime, spacing out, her mind blank one moment, and then suddenly remembering the scene from the dream the next.
Well, it's made it so that she can't sleep well at night, and she gets startled every now and then during the day. She's been listless and looks a bit haggard. Look, she even has dark circles under her eyes.
"Mother, what's wrong with you these past few days? You seem rather listless. Is it because you're not eating well? Or are you having trouble sleeping at night? Should we take you to see a doctor?"
Lin Chaobei asked, and even reached out to touch Yue Jiuyue's forehead.
These past two days, Wang Xiaoxue has been in a bad mood because her mother nagged her for bringing back some cherries and strawberries when she went back to her parents' home.
Her mother is now quite indiscriminate in her speech, saying all sorts of things, good or bad, without any regard for the consequences. She'll say things like, "She has some good things but doesn't know how to give them to her own parents," or "The gifts she gave were too little to even fill a tooth gap," or "A married daughter is like water spilled from a cup," or "My daughter is an ingrate," and so on. Luckily, she went back on her own, otherwise she would have been too ashamed to face anyone.
Her mother-in-law and husband are so good to her! They're also good to her family. So why is it that in her mother's mouth, not a single one of them is a good person? What, does she have to send all of her husband's family's things to her family to make herself look like a good daughter, her husband a good son-in-law, and her mother-in-law a good mother-in-law?
Because of her mother's fuss, she was so upset that she stopped going to Yue Jiuyue's place as often, and thus didn't notice the changes in Yue Jiuyue.
Just as they were starting to feel a little better, the couple went to Yue Jiuyue's place to join in the fun and have a free meal. However, when they saw Yue Jiuyue's appearance, they were shocked.
Yue Jiuyue's forehead wasn't hot; she just hadn't been sleeping well at night. She was someone who always had trouble falling asleep during the day, and now even spacing out made her dream. She was really suffering from neurasthenia. Any noise would give her a headache, a sharp, needle-like pain in her head. As a result, the two cooks who prepared the meals were afraid to cook in the kitchen in the yard. Her yard hadn't been properly cleaned for several days, so no one came to the yard during the day, and no one was allowed in the yard at night. She now found even the sound of other people breathing too noisy.
Sure enough, the young couple's loud and boisterous manner gave Yue Jiuyue a headache again.
"I'm fine, don't talk, I have a headache."
Yue Jiuyue said in a weak voice.
How could Lin Chaobei and Wang Xiaoxue possibly listen? They were already in such a terrible state, yet they still said they were fine. It was obvious that they were lying through their teeth. They continued to ask questions with concern.
"Mom, what's wrong? Tell me what's wrong! Where do you feel unwell? Is it a headache? A headache is no small matter, I'll take you to town to see a doctor right now!"
"I'm fine, just don't talk to me or disturb me, I'll be fine after a nap."
Yue Jiuyue continued to explain in a weak voice.
But Lin Chaobei wouldn't listen. He felt that Yue Jiuyue was being stubborn and refused to see a doctor even when she was sick. He didn't know why she was unwilling to see a doctor before because she was afraid of spending money, but he was certain that Yue Jiuyue was wrong, so he wouldn't listen.
Not only Lin Chaobei wouldn't listen, but Wang Xiaoxue wouldn't listen either.
She was so sick but she kept fighting it out, and she didn't even let the servants tell them. Was her mother-in-law afraid they would worry?
My mother-in-law is such a good mother-in-law, too good! She doesn't even take care of her own health, it's so heartbreaking. She absolutely has to see a doctor and get her checked out! She also needs to give her a big, healthy grandson!
Lin Chaobei carried Yue Jiuyue on his back, while Wang Xiaoxue supported her from the side, afraid that her mother-in-law wouldn't have the strength to hold onto Lin Chaobei's neck and would slip down again.
They then instructed the servants to harness the carriage and the women to lay out several layers of bedding inside, and to prepare hot water, dry food, fruit, snacks, and other such items. Then they drove the carriage toward the town.
Human life is at stake, so the speed was naturally very fast. Yue Jiuyue was so shaken by the bumpy ride that she questioned the meaning of life.
