"I'm not feeling well, and I'm afraid you'll harm an innocent person like me."
Everyone laughed, and Mrs. Bai even jokingly said, "Don't worry, no one can beat you if we really fight."
Tao Mingming remembered the rumors about Jian Yuelan on the island, and his eyes flashed.
She smiled and came over to support Jian Yuelan, pretending to be casual and said, "Sister Ye, I'm sorry for what happened last time. It was because I was young and naive, and I was a little unwell when I first arrived on the island, so my words were a little harsh."
"I hope Sister Ye doesn't take it to heart."
"What did you say?"
Xiao Xiaocao came over and looked at the two of them with a burning gaze on her face.
Jian Yuelan and Tao Mingming exchanged glances and smiled at each other.
"nothing."
Her eyes wandered over Xiao Xiaocao's messy hair that looked like straw, and Jian Yuelan said helplessly, "Sister-in-law Yang, you don't comb your hair when you go to work?"
Xiao Xiaocao immediately took two steps back as if facing a formidable enemy, glaring at her and saying, "I have a hair comber at work, so don't use my hair as an excuse. I'm telling you, if you ruin my job, I'll never let you go."
"I can testify to this. Not only did she comb her hair, she even sewed a hat for herself to wear on her head to prevent her hair from falling out."
Zhang Xiuxiu and Xiao Xiaocao work in the same workshop. Both are responsible for selecting and cleaning seafood. They know Xiao Xiaocao's performance in the factory very well.
She smiled and said, "Sister Yang was praised by the team leader for her hygiene."
Xiao Xiaocao's tail curled up when someone spoke for her, "Did you hear that? I pay attention to hygiene."
She looked at Jian Yuelan, as if asking for praise.
Jian Yuelan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, "Keep it up. It's reassuring to earn your own money and spend it yourself."
These words really touched everyone's heart.
Ever since they got jobs, men no longer dare to speak loudly to them and have become much more considerate.
Especially those sisters-in-law who have heavy family burdens and have had many conflicts with their husbands over money, now have less sorrow and resentment on their faces and more ease and openness.
He looked like a completely different person, radiant and spoke with more confidence.
Jian Yuelan was sincerely happy for them. She smiled and said, "My sisters-in-law are so beautiful."
This sentence made everyone blush.
Xiao Xiaocao shyly pushed her away and said, "Hate it! I'll feel embarrassed if you suddenly praise me."
Jian Yuelan got goosebumps all over her body when she saw her like this. She wanted to say, I'm not praising you alone, I'm praising everyone.
But thinking of Xiao Xiaocao's temper, she didn't say it out loud, but said, "I'll praise you more next time."
"Is there such a good thing?"
Xiao Xiaocao looked at her with surprise, "My husband has never praised me like this, baby..."
Thinking of her little cub, she said happily, "Xiaobao did praise me."
"Has Zhaodi never praised you?"
Tao Mingming asked curiously, and Xiao Xiaocao's face immediately fell, "Don't mention that bitch who brought disaster..."
Seeing Jian Yuelan's icy eyes, she decisively changed her words and said, "My Zhaodi has no conscience and is not sensible at all."
Chen Qiuju immediately sneered, "Zhao Di is such a good child, and you're the only one who despises her. She's good at everything from washing clothes to cooking and cutting kelp. And yet you still despise her? People like you don't deserve to have a filial daughter."
"That's right. Xiaobao is your child, and Zhaodi is also your child who you carried for ten months and gave birth to. I don't ask you to treat them equally, but you should at least be nicer to Zhaodi's child."
Zhang Xiuxiu followed up with her advice, "Sister-in-law Yang, having a filial daughter is better than anything else."
Xiao Xiaocao's way of thinking is different from others. If it were someone else, they would have to go along with it and say something nice, but whether to do it or not is another matter.
No, she said bluntly, "A daughter who is married off is like spilled water. Anyway, I have a son, Xiaobao, which is enough for me. I never expected Zhaodi to be filial to me."
Mrs. Chen opened her mouth to retort, but Jian Yuelan pulled her arm.
Xiao Xiaocao's patriarchal thinking has become rigid, and no matter how much you say, it is impossible to make her change her attitude towards Yang Zhaodi.
For Yang Zhaodi, what she wants is not change, but to maintain the status quo.
At least her life is much better now than before. Although she is ignored at home, she has books to read, can eat three meals a day in the cafeteria, and can go to the seafood market to exchange money and save money for herself. For her, this is happiness.
She looked at Xiao Xiaocao and said seriously, "You must remember what you said today. Don't wait until Zhaodi grows up before asking her to be filial to you."
Not all mother-daughter relationships in this world are happy. There are always some mothers and daughters who have no affection at all except blood ties, and some even just want to lie on their daughters and suck their blood.
Even in developed later generations, this situation is not uncommon.
After saying this, Xiao Xiaocao's face became a little unnatural. "Of course not. Don't worry. That girl has a stubborn temper and a hard heart. If I treat her badly, she won't treat me well when she grows up."
Jian Yuelan smiled, quite self-aware.
“Emotions go both ways.”
Xiao Xiaocao curled her lips, not quite agreeing with her statement, "I'm her mother, I gave birth to her, she should thank me."
"If you say so, then I can ask you on Zhaodi's behalf: was it she who begged you to give birth to her?"
Xiao Xiaocao shook her head honestly, "She didn't know anything at that time, how could she possibly beg me."
"I think you understand this quite well."
Patting her hands, Jian Yuelan said earnestly, "Sister Yang, whether it's the relationship between mother and daughter, mother and son, or husband and wife, it's like farming. If you put in the effort, you'll naturally reap the rewards. It's unrealistic to expect a harvest without putting in any effort and letting weeds spread in the field."
