Su Xueli looked at her with a smile and asked, "What are you thinking?"
Du Mei said, "I was thinking that my two daughters were disliked since they were young. If they grew up and got married, they would encounter the same kind of in-laws as me. If they had more daughters, wouldn't they suffer the same mistreatment as me?"
"It's better to let my daughter be successful, support herself, and marry a good man if she meets someone good; if not, the three of us can live together. Let whoever wants to gossip talk."
Su Xueli gave her a thumbs up.
People who say this are those who have suffered greatly from marriage.
Moreover, she is a mother who truly loves her child.
Some women suffer in their marriages their whole lives, yet they still urge their daughters to get married and have children.
She doesn't care whether her daughter is happy or not; once her daughter is married, she'll have completed her mission and be at ease.
Su Xueli praised her, saying, "Sister-in-law, you are indeed open-minded and don't want your daughter to follow in your footsteps. But just thinking about it is useless. You have to raise your children well and make sure they all go to school. Only with education can they change their destiny in the future."
Du Mei nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, sister-in-law is absolutely right. That's what I was thinking too. I'd sell my blood to send my two daughters to school so they can stay far away from this hellhole in the future."
Su Xueli touched the new cotton-padded clothes and shoes worn by the two little girls. The cotton was new, soft to the touch, and very thick.
It was Sherry who asked them, "Are you warm?"
"It's warm," the two little girls said, flashing their white teeth.
Du Mei let out a long sigh and said, "If Mom hadn't picked up the knife, I bet neither of you would have gotten a new cotton-padded coat in this house until you got married."
Su Xueli smiled at her, "So you held that knife well!"
After talking for a while, Du Mei said excitedly, "Sister-in-law, I came today to tell you that I'm taking my two daughters to visit my parents' home tomorrow."
"Really, sister-in-law? I'm so happy for you!" Su Xueli said happily.
Du Mei's eyes reddened, and her voice trembled as she said, "Five years. Five years without any news from my family. I don't know if my father's rheumatism has gotten worse, how my mother's eye disease is, or if my elderly grandmother is still alive..."
Su Xueli comforted her, "Sister-in-law, you'll see him tomorrow. Let things take their course, and accept whatever the outcome may be."
Du Mei's tears slid down her cheeks, and she sobbed, "My sister-in-law is right. No matter what changes happen in the family, I have to accept it calmly."
But I always feel guilty towards them; they raised me, their daughter, for nothing.
Su Xueli said, "You have no choice in this situation. Take care of yourself first."
Seeing their mother cry, the two little girls ran to her side; the younger one hugged her, and the older one wiped away her tears.
Du Mei hugged her two daughters on either side and said, "Fortunately, I have them. I have hope in life. From now on, I will live my life anew. I will be a shrew and a crazy woman."
Su Xueli smiled and said, "Excuse me, sister-in-law, how does it feel to be a shrew, a crazy woman?"
Du Mei smiled shyly, "It feels so good, I've never felt so comfortable before."
Su Xueli said, "Then keep up the good work and make sure we're definitely a shrew and a crazy woman."
"Hahaha..." Du Mei laughed heartily.
Su Xueli laughed along with her, and the two little girls giggled when they saw the adults laughing.
Du Mei laughed through her tears again, "I've been married into this family for five years, and this is the first time I've laughed so happily. Sister-in-law, I thought I would never laugh again."
Su Xueli said, "My sister-in-law's suffering has finally come to an end."
