Yu Jiao and Yu Fuling ate some food and then left the table. Zhao Yu was having a great time drinking with Yu Mengshan. Yu Fuling hadn't seen her father so happy for a long time, so she didn't say anything and let Zhao Yu drink with her father to their heart's content.
Yu Jiao went back to her room to take a shower and change clothes, while Yu Fuling went to the kitchen to cook sobering soup.
Aunt Chen was washing pots and dishes in the kitchen. Seeing Yu Fuling using the stove, she hurriedly said, "Miss Yu, what do you want to cook? I'll make it. Just tell me."
"It's okay, Aunt Chen, you should go to rest early after you finish washing up. I'll make a bowl of sobering soup for my father and Zhao Yu." Yu Fuling washed a bowl of mung beans, poured them into the pot, added water, and went to the stove to light the fire. After the pot boiled, she added some licorice and brown sugar, simmered for a while, turned off the stove, and got up to go to the main hall.
In the hall, Yu Mengshan's face was flushed. He put one hand on Zhao Yu's shoulder and was hugging him while talking. It was obvious that he was drunk.
Zhao Yu's cheeks were dark red, as if he had drunk a lot, but his eyes were clear. When he saw Yu Fuling come in, he looked up at her.
"Brother Yu, let me tell you, my Fuling has suffered a lot since she was a child. When she marries you in the future, you must love her well." Yu Mengshan didn't pay any attention to Yu Fuling at all, and said to Zhao Yu in a serious tone, "Fuling has been sensible since she was a child. You can't treat her badly just because she is sensible and has a good temper. I, as a father, have no ability and have caused that girl to suffer a lot, but I only have this one daughter. Children are the apple of everyone's eye. You can't treat her badly..."
Yu Fuling's eyes turned red as she listened to this. In her impression, her father was always as calm as a mountain and never said such words. Although she knew that her father was not like her grandfather who only cared about the older brother in the family, Yu Fuling always believed that her parents still preferred the younger brother. She was just a girl and would get married sooner or later.
It turns out that her father loves her very much.
Yu Fuling turned her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingers. She heard Zhao Yu's voice coming from behind her, "Father-in-law, don't worry. I will treat Fuling well. I swear to heaven that when Fuling becomes my wife, I will take care of her, love her, and never let her suffer the slightest grievance. I will work hard to earn money to support the family and use everything I have to treat her well."
Zhao Yu's words were pious and serious. Yu Fuling's heart was beating so fast that she couldn't help but turn around. Unexpectedly, she met Zhao Yu's firm and sincere eyes. She was deeply moved and the tears she had just held back flowed again.
Yu Fuling ran out of the door and stood under the big tree in the yard. She couldn't help laughing and crying. Her heart felt like it was stepping on clouds, filled with emotion and happiness.
"Sister Fuling, what's wrong?" Yu Jiao, who had just taken a shower, planned to take a walk in the yard to digest her food and dry her hair. When she raised her eyes, she saw Yu Fuling hiding under a big tree, her shoulders shaking as if she was crying.
Yu Jiao approached and asked in a soft voice, "Sister, who bullied you?"
Yu Fuling quickly wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve and shook her head, "No one, I'm fine, I'm just too... happy."
Yu Jiao looked unconvinced. Yu Fuling suppressed her embarrassment and told Yu Jiao what Yu Mengshan and Zhao Yu had just said in the hall with tears in her eyes.
Yu Jiao laughed after hearing this, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it to Yu Fuling, "Why are you crying? A man should love his wife. When you are married, you should take care of each other, tolerate each other, support each other throughout your life, and live a warm and happy life in your ordinary days."
Yu Fuling covered her eyes with a handkerchief and nodded, "I know, I just can't help myself."
She took off the handkerchief, couldn't help hugging Yu Jiao, and said to her coquettishly, "You don't know, Yu Jiao, actually I am most grateful to you. If it weren't for you, my brother's health wouldn't have recovered. I couldn't even think of such a happy life. Sometimes when I wake up, I'm afraid that the good life now is just something I imagined, just a dream. Since you came to our house, our family's life has been better. You are a blessing. I'm so afraid that one day you will leave and our family will become as miserable as before."
Yu Fuling nestled on Yu Jiao's thin shoulders, deeply moved, her words a little incoherent.
Yu Jiao patted her on the shoulder and said slowly, "You said I'm too important. No matter what kind of quagmire you are in, as long as you have a strong will and look towards the light, you will get out of the haze. The will of a person is very strong. Even without me, I believe you will be able to live well."
Life is incredibly difficult, but there is no darkness that cannot be escaped.
And that dark time that you thought you could not get out of is exactly the path that every glamorous person today has taken.
No one is born strong. It is experiences and countless difficult days that hone the indomitable heart and make a strong person.
Yu Jiao didn't think she was a strong person. She just had the advantage of being a modern person who traveled through time. She didn't dare to be complacent about this. On the contrary, she was full of awe for this dynasty. People would appear particularly insignificant in the big environment.
She was also afraid that she would make a mistake and be overwhelmed by the tide of this dynasty.
Not everyone is born knowing how to speak and dress. Everyone grows up through stumbling.
