"Don't be unhappy, third daughter-in-law, and don't think that I, as a mother-in-law, am unfair. Let me put it this way, if you had the ability of the fourth daughter-in-law, you wouldn't have to work in the fields. There's a saying that goes, do what you can. There's no point in being jealous of others." Yang also felt that she had been fooled by Wang's sweet words all along. She felt uncomfortable thinking about it and took the opportunity to criticize Wang.
"Mom, I didn't." Wang felt really wronged at this moment.
"Okay, mom, stop talking about my wife. She looks so aggrieved. She needs to go to the fields. Let's go." Han Lin may not be good at other things, but he is good to his wife. Seeing his mother making things difficult for his wife, he hurried to help.
Seeing that her own son was siding with his daughter-in-law in blaming her, Yang felt even more uncomfortable. The third son was different from the fourth son. The third son had always been a man without his own opinion. He was probably instigated by his wife, otherwise he would not talk to her like that. When she thought about the fact that the third son's wife had been married to the Han family for four or five years and still hadn't conceived a child, she felt even more upset.
However, although Yang was a little partial, she was not an evil mother-in-law. Even when she was unhappy, she just snorted coldly and walked away with her hoe.
Seeing that everyone in the family had gone to work in the fields, Su Wenyue did not sit idle either. She cleaned up the house and then called Baofu to her room. She first taught Baofu his name and a few simple words, and let Baofu practice writing and drawing on the ground in the yard with a branch.
Baofu now doesn't even know the most basic things, such as how to hold a pen, and it would be a waste to use the set of pens, ink, paper and inkstone that she gave him. That's why Su Wenyue came up with this idea. Moreover, teaching Baofu to read was a temporary decision on her part, and she was not fully prepared. Su Wenyue thought that if she went to the town in a few days, she would buy some enlightenment books for Baofu.
The whole family went out to work, so the task of cooking naturally fell on Su Wenyue. When the meal was ready, Su Wenyue was about to send Baofu to call people to eat when Old Man Han and the others came back. It was sunny outside today and everyone was sweating.
In the afternoon, Han Yu did not go to work with the others. Instead, he carried a bow and arrow and took all the equipment for going up the mountain. Su Wenyue looked at Han Yu with some surprise: "Are you going up the mountain?"
"You will be returning home tomorrow, and I have prepared all the gifts that should be prepared. But a few sisters-in-law are competing with me, and I can't give much more than them. Otherwise, I will have a hard time. I thought about going to the mountains to see if I can hunt some wild animals and bring them back. Then my sisters-in-law won't say anything. Besides, doesn't father-in-law like to eat game? He will definitely be happy to see it."
Su Wenyue thought to herself that her son-in-law came to pay his respects in person, so how could her father not be happy? At first, she didn't know what her father liked about Han Yu and insisted that she marry him. Although the reason was that her grandfather and Han Yu's grandfather had arranged a marriage for them when they were young, her father betrothed her to Han Yu in order to keep the promise.
But Su Wenyue knew that her father was not a pedantic person who would not sacrifice his daughter's lifelong happiness for a promise. Now it seems that her father's vision was still very accurate. As expected, her father was right. Han Yu was not an ordinary person and would achieve something sooner or later. Her father also said that Han Yu was a responsible man with reliable character.
Su Wenyue thought about Han Yu's future achievements. If the Su family had a good relationship with him from the beginning, he would have taken better care of the Su family in the future. After all, although Han Yu was cold, he was also a grateful person. So she spoke well of her family without making a sound, "Of course, my father likes you so much that you even surpass me, his beloved daughter. I don't know what he likes about you?!"
Su Wenyue pursed her red lips as she spoke, her cheeks still chubby with some baby fat puffing up slightly. She looked at Han Yu with dissatisfaction. No matter how you listened to her words, there was a hint of jealousy in her voice, like a girl whose beloved thing was taken away from her.
Han Yu looked at his wife's jealous look and somehow acted in a way that was inconsistent with his usual behavior. He reached out his hand and wiped Su Wenyue's head, rubbed it, and felt the soft hair in his hands. He actually liked this feeling.
"My father-in-law probably thinks that I, as a son-in-law, have great potential, so he married his precious daughter to me. Don't worry, I won't let my father-in-law down." Han Yu said half-jokingly. He was very happy to get the affirmation from his father-in-law, especially since it made his young wife jealous.
Su Wenyue looked at Han Yu's smile in curiosity. Although she had stayed in the Han family for three years in her previous life, she had almost never seen Han Yu smile. She always saw the same expressionless face, which was filled with alienation and indifference, which wasted such a handsome face.
"You look so pretty when you smile. You should smile more. Don't be so serious all the time. You're not cute at all. No wonder the children at home are afraid of you. Sometimes when you get angry, even I get scared, not to mention the children. If you smile more, you will definitely charm a lot of girls. This is the first time I realize that my husband is so handsome."
Su Wenyue said in a somewhat infatuated way that after her past life, she could no longer be considered a new bride in the strict sense, and she was also more relaxed in her words. She had no shame in praising her own husband, Su Wenyue.
Han Yu did not answer Su Wenyue. The smile on his face disappeared immediately and he looked his usual self. He just said hello and went up the mountain. But upon closer inspection, he saw a suspicious red color on his earlobe.
Han Yu felt that the young wife he married was indeed raised by her father-in-law and mother-in-law to be too naive. She said such words so casually and bluntly without any reserve. Her earlobes became even redder. Although her face was dazed, there was an unconcealable smile in her eyes. This was a man who was both introverted and sinister.
Su Wenyue took advantage of the afternoon to pack up her dowry. The several large red boxes placed in the room were particularly eye-catching. No bride in the surrounding area had such a decent dowry. However, for the Su family, this amount of dowry did not seem to be a big deal. Even the dowries of her two half-sisters seemed to be more than hers.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Although Su Wenyue is the most beloved daughter of the Su family and the only legitimate daughter, she is not the only daughter. She has two older sisters who were born out of wedlock. Su's mother made careful plans for her daughter. How could she let her only daughter be outdone by the two older sisters who were born out of wedlock? Having managed the harem for most of her life, Su's mother knew what was most important, especially since her daughter was marrying a farmer. If the dowry was too generous, it would easily attract people's attention. The two older sisters would probably feel uncomfortable and try to trip up her daughter behind her back.
