Su Xueli said, "But your son likes her, she's the only one in his heart."
Cao Maizi shook her head and said earnestly, "That's because he hasn't lived with her yet. He'll know once he has. With Shenzi's temper, if he were to marry a woman who is so cunning and thinks she's a goddess, they'd be at each other's throats before the baby was even a month old. Their lives would be in complete chaos. We only have this one son, and we can't let him ruin himself."
Su Xueli laughed, "Mother, you're being too hasty. How could you know they would end up like that?"
Cao Maizi sighed and said, "Daughter, it's not that your mother is being arbitrary, it's just that I'm old and have experienced a lot. I can see through some people and things at a glance, but you young people can't."
Su Xueli, having lived two lives, agreed with her statement. However, inexperienced young people find this kind of talk from older people the most annoying, thinking they are old-fashioned and self-righteous.
She was the same in her past life, stubbornly refusing to listen to her parents and marrying Wei Mingshen, only to be subjected to emotional abuse for the rest of her life, ending in a miserable state.
“My dear daughter, listen to your mother. Even if Shenzi has feelings for Lin Meizhi, it’s just a mirage. Once he’s been with you for a while, he won’t want to go back to her. He can’t live without you. I can see that my stinky son is becoming more and more fond of you.”
Su Xueli suddenly looked at Cao Maizi, "Mother, how did you figure that out?"
Cao Maizi chuckled and said, "I've raised my son for over twenty years, how could I not understand him? You can see it in his eyes. When you first came, he didn't even look at you, but now his eyes are fixed on you, and he speaks to you in a tone as sweet as if he's eaten honey, hahaha."
Su Xueli looked at her with a puzzled expression and asked, "Really?"
Cao Maizi stopped laughing and nodded solemnly, "Would your mother lie to you? Don't you think so yourself?"
Su Xueli thought for a moment and then laughed: I have surprised him too much. He is scrutinizing me. You are blind.
But she brushed Cao Maizi off, saying, "I can tell."
Cao Maizi smiled for a while, then became sad again. What if her son's illness couldn't be cured? She couldn't hold that girl back. But her son had fallen for her. How heartbroken her son would be if they got divorced!
"Snow Pear!" Yan Yan's timid voice came into the room.
Su Xueli was startled. She got up and opened the door to find Yan Yan standing in the yard, wearing a red jacket with white flowers and her face completely covered by a red scarf.
"Yan Yan, what brings you here? Come inside!" She was overjoyed.
"Mother, this is my best sister, Yan Yan. Yan Yan, this is my mother." Su Xueli entered the room and introduced Cao Maizi and Yan Yan.
"Auntie is home," Yan Yan greeted politely.
Because of her love for her daughter-in-law, Cao Maizi greeted her with a big smile as her daughter-in-law's best friend came over. She said affectionately, "Sit down and warm your hands. They must be freezing. Xue Li, you take care of them. I'll make my daughter some brown sugar water to warm her up."
Brown sugar water was a delicacy at this time, something most families couldn't afford. Cao Maizi prepared it to entertain guests.
A moment later, Cao Maizi came over with brown sugar water, and in her other hand she was holding pastries and walnuts.
This is definitely an invitation to distinguished guests!
Yan Yan was flattered and speechless.
Su Xueli smiled and said, "Yanyan, my mother is just so warm and hospitable, please don't be shy."
