That's all she could say. Although this was her second time being a mother-in-law, the relationship between the previous daughter-in-law, Liu, and the original owner had already been established. Yue Jiuyue didn't need to do much. Back then, they couldn't even afford to eat, so who had time to think about mother-in-law/daughter-in-law conflicts?
Now that life is better, things seem to have become more complicated. She has never acted like a mother-in-law, but she has never thought about being loving and affectionate with her daughter-in-law. As long as the young couple is loving and affectionate, that's enough. As for her, she'll just be a close relative, visiting occasionally.
She doesn't rely on her son for old age, nor does she expect her daughter-in-law to take care of her. She speaks frankly and isn't afraid of breaking off the mother-son relationship.
"Mother, I understand."
Lin Chaobei frowned, lowered his head, and pondered for a long time before speaking.
He truly understood.
Because he can't treat his mother-in-law like his own mother. He only has one mother, Yue Jiuyue. He can be filial to his mother-in-law, but he can't treat her like his own mother.
Because if his mother-in-law says anything bad about his mother, he will definitely hold a grudge. Even if he doesn't show it on the surface for the sake of his wife, he will definitely be writing it down in his mind.
Yue Jiuyue didn't know how Lin Chaobei explained it to his wife, but for a long time afterward, they never went to Wang Xiaoxue's yard to cry and complain again because she was in a bad mood. Instead, they went over to have a few meals with her when they were in a good mood, just like before.
This is good, much better than Yue Jiuyue had expected.
She doesn't like to absorb negative energy, and other people's negative emotions can also bother her. She prefers to live happily every day, even though life is not always smooth sailing and there will always be various bumps along the way.
The negative energy from others and the inevitable ups and downs in life are two different things.
She would rather encounter some setbacks than absorb Wang Xiaoxue's negative emotions.
Of course, it would be best if life went smoothly and she had good fortune; she loves living a happy and fulfilling life.
After a previous rain, many cherry trees fell to the ground. The servants conscientiously washed and dried the cherry pits, then planted them on the edge of the ground, hoping to see if they could sprout.
Yue Jiuyue ignored all of this and let them do whatever they wanted. However, she did say that if the seeds they planted could grow, blossom, and bear fruit, she would reward them.
Then there's the newly renovated East Lake. Because it's used to raise crayfish, which everyone loves to eat, the enthusiasm is unprecedented. Not only Zhou Erya and her four colleagues are busy there every day, but everyone else goes over to help out whenever they have free time.
Suddenly, she felt free again. Yue Jiuyue looked at the sky, her mind wandering again.
I'm worried that the heavy rain knocked down many of the fruit tree blossoms this year, and I'm wondering if that will affect the fruit yield? Also, more and more people are planting fruit trees nearby now, and there will only be more in the future. Will that affect sales? Will the fruit become worthless in the future?
She wondered when the crayfish in her home would become abundant. She wanted to earn lots and lots of money and donate all the money from selling the crayfish, preferably directly to Biancheng. How could she do that?
Think about it, the eldest son, Lin Chaodong, is lucky if he can come home once a month these days. Doesn't he miss his two children at all? And Liu Shi, as their own mother, doesn't she miss her children either? With such parents, I wonder if it will affect their personalities?
Thinking about the third brother, Lin Chaonan, he's a workaholic now. He comes home a little more often than the eldest brother, but only a little. Lin Chaodong can come home once every two months or twice every three months, while he comes home once every two weeks to see her. Every time, he nags and nags about this and that. He used to be a very quiet person, but now he has really become the pillar of the family. Does the eldest brother have any thoughts about this?
Thinking about it, the fourth brother and his wife were always causing trouble before she got pregnant, and there would only be more trouble after she got pregnant. Yue Jiuyue didn't believe those kinds of things like "it will be better after the baby is born" or "it will be better after the baby can walk and go to school". Although there was no shortage of servants at home, they were not family after all. In the past, in modern times, women were usually taken care of by their mothers during their postpartum period. Should she do the same when she got pregnant?
I wonder, is Lin Chaoxi, the second brother, alive or dead? Is the battle at the border almost over? Have they won another victory? Will they return to the capital in triumph? Is there a man named Lin Chaoxi among them?
...
It was another rainy day. Yue Jiuyue sat on the soft couch in the room, listening to the pattering rain outside. She felt a little stuffy and restless.
Her gaze was fixed on the view outside the window, but she didn't look at the rain scene outside.
She's considering taking a spontaneous trip.
Anyway, she has no ties now and doesn't need to work to earn money. It's true that she can travel anytime. It's just that in this era, road safety cannot be guaranteed. Who knows if she will encounter robbery?
If only she knew kung fu, she wouldn't have so many worries.
Moreover, she disliked traveling with a group of servants, as that would be blatantly telling others, "My family is well-off, come and rob me!"
Of course, having more servants around provides a certain level of security, but servants are still people with their own thoughts. Who knows if they will be the first to run away in case of an accident?
Anyway, I have a lot of concerns about going out.
She didn't tell anyone about her desire to travel. In this era, it was usually men, especially scholars, who wanted to travel. Those from well-off families with ideas would send their children out to see the world, since "reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles."
