Chapter 662 Have you ever thought about living like your mother-in-law?
Dong Yulian became excited again when she mentioned this.
"Just like this time, I only said a few harsh words, and she couldn't take it, so she tried to run away from home again. I felt really bad about that too."
We just got carried away with the conversation, and there was nothing I could do. I was devastated too. I thought she would wander around outside as usual, waiting for my father-in-law and her son to coax her back. Who would have thought that in just a short while, she would fall into the ditch by the roadside.
I didn't want this to happen either, but is it all my fault? If she hadn't been so willful, how could this have happened?
But how did it all end up being my fault? Wasn't it her own fault?
Dong Yulian had clearly wanted to confide in him for a long time, and Lu Qiaoge listened quietly. When Dong Yulian stopped, Lu Qiaoge said, "That's why I wanted to talk to you alone. Look at your views, they're all accusations and complaints. To Chairman Lin and Lin Chengze, who are already used to it, your accusations are just unreasonable."
Dong Yulian's voice trembled: "Director Lu, are you saying I'm being unreasonable?"
Lu Qiaoge did not answer directly, but said, "I don't want to try to reason with you. Your situation is very special and may be different from what you've seen since you were a child. There's a saying that people with different values cannot work together. The world you've been exposed to since childhood and your mother-in-law's world are completely different, so it's not easy for these two worlds to merge."
Dong Yulian didn't speak, but raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face.
However, her mood improved considerably, and she glanced up at Lu Qiaoge.
She knew that Lu Qiaoge was currently a top celebrity at the 516 Military Factory; in fact, very few people didn't know Lu Qiaoge.
She met Lu Qiaoge twice, once at Lu Qiaoge's wedding.
She and her husband also went to the wedding, but there were too many people, so they just stood outside for a while.
It seems she is doing very well and is very happy now.
Moreover, Lu Qiaoge gives the impression that she would be happy whether she got married or not.
This is a girl who can live a good life no matter what environment she is in.
She really, really envied Lu Qiaoge. At that moment, Dong Yulian seemed to understand something, but that understanding was fleeting.
Lu Qiaoge continued, "Since Chairman Lin entrusted me to talk to you, let's have a heart-to-heart talk. I have no intention of changing your perception, after all, it's something you've developed since you were a child. Even after you've been married to Lin Chengze for seven years, your perception hasn't changed. So I want to ask you, have you ever thought about living like your mother-in-law?"
Dong Yulian had stopped crying and looked at Lu Qiaoge with a blank expression. She didn't know why, but her emotions had been on the verge of collapse just now, but now she was gradually stabilizing and seemed to be able to think again.
Lu Qiaoge said, "Now it's just the two of us. Let's not talk about platitudes or face-saving things. Let's just say what's on your mind. As a woman, do you want to be the kind of woman who is pampered by her family before marriage and by her husband and children after marriage, the kind of woman who can live happily from childhood to old age?"
Dong Yulian racked her brains and imagined it in her mind—when she got home, she didn't have to do anything, and no matter whether her husband came home early or late from get off work, he would gently tell her: "Don't worry, I'm here for you."
And the child is also very thoughtful. When you're little, you don't realize it, but when you grow up, they'll buy you gifts, listen to the radio with you, tell you jokes when you're unhappy, pick out your clothes before you go out, and remind you to bring an umbrella if the weather is bad, or say, "Don't worry, I can come pick you up..."
Is this kind of life good?
Dong Yulian knew that this was the kind of life her mother-in-law lived.
Did she ever imagine living like that?
She's not stupid; of course she'd like to live that kind of life too.
Dong Yulian nodded with difficulty, her voice hoarse as she said, "Who wouldn't want to live a life where everything is done for them?"
Lu Qiaoge suddenly changed the subject, asking Dong Yulian, "Did you never copy homework when you were in school?"
Dong Yulian didn't know why Lu Qiaoge suddenly brought this up, and quickly shook her head: "I have never copied homework."
This still needs to be stated.
"Do you know what copying homework is?"
Dong Yulian smirked, "Of course I know that."
"Since you know there are ready-made assignments, why don't you copy them? Or rather, why don't you learn from ready-made role models?"
From what Sister Lin just told me, the Lin family environment is quite relaxed. They won't push all the things your mother-in-law doesn't do onto you. So why don't you live your life like your mother-in-law after you get married?
Dong Yulian immediately widened her eyes: "But...but it's different!"
"What's different?" Lu Qiaoge asked in return.
“There’s no such thing as living like that. I’m not used to it. I simply can’t do that. I can’t just sit there and do nothing.”
"Nothing is impossible in this world. You can do it if you want to. It just depends on whether you want to do it or not."
“I have never met anyone like my mother-in-law in my life. Really, there are so many things that I can’t tell you all of them.”
Lu Qiaoge waved her hand: "No need to explain, they're all pretty much the same. I could guess it. So you don't want to be like your mother-in-law, but you want her to be like you. But the problem is, your mother-in-law didn't force you to do anything, so why are you forcing her to change?"
Dong Yulian wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to begin.
Because she actually felt that what Lu Qiaoge said was exactly what she was thinking.
That's right, she wanted to correct all of her mother-in-law's bad habits.
But who could have imagined it would end up like this?
Lu Qiaoge bluntly stated: "A woman's jealousy is actually quite terrifying. Don't deny it, you are jealous of your mother-in-law."
Dong Yulian's face flushed red, and her hands on the table clenched tightly together. She wanted to deny it, but when faced with Lu Qiaoge's clear, watery eyes, she couldn't bring herself to say anything.
No one had ever said this to her before, and her mother had never said she was jealous. But after Lu Qiaoge said it, Dong Yulian recalled her psychological journey over the past seven years. Yes, she was jealous of people like her mother-in-law.
With a strained voice, Dong Yulian asked Lu Qiaoge, "Director Lu, aren't you jealous?"
Then I realized that what I was saying was a bit unreasonable.
Who is Lu Qiaoge?
Why would she be jealous of her mother-in-law's life?
Lu Qiaoge is now even happier and more joyful than her mother-in-law.
How could she say such a thing?
So he immediately asked, "Director Lu, if you encountered a family like this, what would you do?"
After saying this, she looked at Lu Qiaoge with hopeful eyes, her heart pounding.
Dong Yulian knew that she had always wanted this kind of answer.
