Chapter 353: The Future Mother-in-Law Arrives 2 You are a second-hand product, and you are worthy of being my...
The Chao family is a scholarly family. Such families tend to be more traditional and advocate the model of men working outside and women working inside.
His mother wanted to take advantage of the country, so she held a position but collected a salary without doing any work. In fact, she stayed at home every day, taking care of her children and grandchildren.
Now that she is retired, she devotes all her unlimited energy to her offspring.
Such a mother raised several children. Her son never had to work or do housework, having everything provided for him. Her daughter was an all-rounder and could stand on her own. However, they all chose to become housewives and withdrew from the stage of social competition. At most, they were like her, holding a position, receiving a salary in name only, and taking advantage of the country.
Similarly, Chao's mother also raised Chao Risheng in this way, but he soon discovered the drawbacks of this model from his aunt's marriage tragedy, so he has always advocated that women be liberated from the family and participate in social labor.
This can be seen from his works. Deep down, he advocates the concept of gender equality. If men can do it, there is no reason why women cannot.
On the contrary, there are many industries that require women's attentiveness and patience to be competent, such as nurses and kindergarten teachers.
Such a person must be incompatible with his brothers and sisters at home. When he was a child, he could barely live under the same roof. When he grew up, he was forced to get married every day. He couldn't stand it, so he followed his uncle in the freight team to travel around. While seeing the beautiful rivers and mountains of the motherland, he was able to get a down-to-earth understanding of the customs and cultures of various places. He could also draw nourishment from folk stories from various places to enrich his writing materials.
After running around like this for a few years, he not only developed excellent cooking skills, but also learned to sew quickly and mend clothes for himself and his uncle.
But whenever he returns home, his mother and sisters will subconsciously treat him as a man who needs to be "served".
Just like now, he clearly didn't say anything, and he was clearly cleaning by himself, but the mother and daughter insisted on letting him reap the benefits.
It was New Year's Day, and he didn't want to argue with them. Since they didn't let him do the cleaning, he would just cook.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the kitchen, his mother followed him in and advised, "Hey, kid, what did your sister just say? A gentleman stays away from the kitchen. I'll do it, I'll do it. You go and take a break, read the newspaper, drink some tea, and rest for a while, okay?"
Chao Risheng was speechless. He put down the kitchen knife in his hand and asked, "What on earth do you want to do by suddenly running over here?"
"What else can I do? You said you wouldn't go back for the New Year this year, and your father was worried, so he asked me to come and see you." Chao's mother obviously wanted to come, but women like her are always accustomed to doing things in the name of their husbands. She would instinctively think that as long as it was a request made by her husband, her son would definitely not have any objection.
But it was useless. Chao Risheng was not that kind of person. If his mother didn't let him cook, he would do the laundry.
But Chao's mother couldn't stand it any longer, so she quickly chased him out and snatched the laundry soap from his hand: "Hey, kid, your mother is here, what else do you need to do? You work so hard, go take a good rest."
Chao Risheng was speechless and snatched the laundry soap back from his mother's hand: "Tell me what you want to do quickly and don't bother me. Don't interfere in my life, I don't like it."
Chao's mother had long been accustomed to his attitude and didn't take it to heart. Instead, she kept muttering to herself: "Okay, okay, Mom knows you are a progressive young man, but Mom loves you. Okay, it's rare for Mom to come here, so just let Mom do her best, okay."
Chao Risheng rolled his eyes, but ignored her. He took the basin and went to wash clothes. With his back to the kitchen, he muttered, "My patience with you is limited. If you don't say anything after dinner, you can leave."
Mother Chao sighed silently, and while busying herself with cooking, she feigned ignorance and began to mutter, "Over the years, our family has introduced so many good girls to you, but you didn't want any of them. What kind of girl do you want?"
Chao Risheng sneered, "Come on, stop pretending. You must know I'm in a relationship, so you came here to see who my girlfriend is. How could I not know you?"
Chao's mother was speechless and could only sigh and cook first.
During the meal, she finally stopped beating around the bush and asked, "Do you know that you, a first-time married woman, will be laughed at if you marry someone who's been married twice? What's more, that woman has a child."
Chao Risheng showed an expression of astonishment. He put down his chopsticks and said with a cold face, "Why should people who remarry be laughed at? You people are really interesting. Do you think divorced people are inferior? Do you think divorced people are not worthy of being human beings? There are even state-owned factories that have failed. Why can't others fail in their marriage and start over?"
Chao's mother didn't want to talk to him about these trivial matters, so she just kept chanting: "You are too noble, son. You don't understand the dangers of society. If you find someone who has been married for a while, your father's colleagues will laugh at him. You'd better not be so willful. Dating is fine, but marriage is not."
Chao Risheng laughed angrily: "I knew you had no good intentions when you came here. Okay, I don't want to talk to you anymore. Just leave after you finish eating, and don't come to me from now on."
"Son, I'm doing this for your own good." Although Chao's mother was angry, she was angry at Yao Taotao's seductiveness, not at her son's disobedience. She advised earnestly, "You can't keep immersing yourself in your own fictional world. You need to look up and see the real world. It's not okay for you, a first-time marriage, to date someone who's been married for the second time. Besides, her parents are both death row inmates. With your father's status and position, would he allow you to do such a foolish thing?"
Chao Risheng was speechless. "A hero's origins are not important. Her parents have nothing to do with my liking for her. Besides, Uncle Fan Wen's parents have already helped the sisters change their identities. It won't affect their political review or that of their descendants. Stop looking for trouble here. Go back quickly after eating."
Chao Muxia, who was standing by, couldn't stand it any longer and interrupted, "Brother, why are you talking to Mom like that? Mom is doing this for your own good. We've met that Yao Taotao, and she's obviously a vixen, very restless. Besides, she said she divorced because her husband couldn't have children. Is there any evidence? What if she couldn't have children herself? She said her ex-husband couldn't have children because she was afraid of losing face. Otherwise, why would she raise someone else's child?"
Mother Chao agreed, "That's right. If she really could have children, wouldn't it be good for her to have her own child at such a young age? Why do you have to raise someone else's child? If you marry her, you'll have to raise the child too. Why bother? Wouldn't it be better to find a virgin girl?"
Chao Risheng was speechless. Summer insects cannot talk about ice. That’s how it is.
He asked, "I noticed you were quite picky when you were looking for a second marriage partner for my aunt. It was best if she was married for the first time, but even if she was remarried, she couldn't have children. Even if she had children herself, you wanted the man to not raise them, fearing that my aunt would suffer. Why, if the positions were reversed and the woman raising the child became someone else, you'd slander her, calling her a vixen? Saying she's infertile? She's the child's second aunt, she loves the child and is responsible, so what's wrong with you?"
"Child, you don't understand how treacherous people are. That woman looks like a foxy woman, you must have been deceived by her." Chao's mother didn't believe that there was such a stupid woman, she was determined to break up the couple no matter what.
Chao Risheng laughed angrily: "I know whether she deceived me or not. There is no need for you to come and point fingers at me. Let me declare again that I am an adult and I have my own ideas. Let's leave quickly after eating and don't disturb my nap."
Chao's mother was extremely helpless, but she couldn't bear to get angry with her son, so she could only wash the dishes and ask her daughter to go out.
The mother and daughter decided that since they couldn't do Chao Risheng's job, they could only start with Yao Taotao.
They went to look for Yao Taotao again. When they got there, Ge Rui had just brought his child over. It was winter vacation, and he took his child to the provincial capital for two days. They visited the zoo, stayed in the Children's Palace for a day, went to the movies, and bought a lot of delicious food.
Of course, the money and tickets were given by Yao Taotao.
Ge Rui himself did not expect that Yao Taotao would be so generous to the child. In addition, the child was well raised, fair and clean, gentle and well-educated. He liked the child very much. After sending the child back, he took the initiative to help Yao Taotao with the cleaning.
Yao Taotao didn't refuse. What if Ge Rui was really the child's biological father? It wouldn't be good for the child to be without a male elder around him. It would be good for the child to work with him now.
She sat at the door and knitted.
The winter air was filled with biting cold, but now the wind direction had changed. There was no wind in the corridor, and the sun shone on my body, making me feel warm.
She yawned all the time as she prepared New Year gifts for her nieces and nephews.
It's because her sisters all have children. The eldest sister has two daughters. Although the third sister Ningning only has one son, the fourth sister Mengmeng has three children.
That makes six.
And Zhizhi... Zhizhi is a like-minded confidant whose relationship goes beyond ordinary sisterhood.
Of course, she also had to prepare some gifts for Zhizhi's children.
As for Yao Miaomiao's family... forget it. Yao Miaomiao doesn't like her. Every time she sends her a gift, it is returned unopened. She won't make things difficult for herself this time.
While I was busy, the mother and daughter came again.
It had made her feel ill before lunch, and now it was making her feel even worse.
The contemptuous look, the condescending attitude, the chin raised high intentionally because of looking down on others, all showed their dissatisfaction with Yao Taotao.
Yao Taotao was no fool, so she spoke directly, "You are Chao Risheng's family, right? If you're here to persuade us to break up, then you're thinking the wrong way. I'm a rebel, and the more others try to interfere in my life, the more I'll try to live like a decent person. I'm not afraid of your threats. If you push me to the limit, I'll go get the marriage certificate with him tomorrow. Just wait and see."
Mother Chao hadn't expected this woman to be so powerful. She couldn't help but sarcastically ask, "Just you? A second-hand piece of shit, a slut, you're worthy of being the daughter-in-law of my Chao family?"
Yao Taotao retorted bluntly, "Auntie, you're quite humorous. If I remember correctly, Chao Risheng said that his aunt was also remarried. So, are you also going to your sister-in-law and calling her second-hand goods and a slut? If you really have such courage, I would respect you for being a person of your words and deeds. But if you don't do that, and instead try to please her in every way, then I have to ask, do you think everyone is like you, who can only look at the moods of men for the rest of their lives?"
