"No need, no need,"
She quickly and simply refused. She quite liked the old lady's personality. Today, she had no excuse to take out the brown sugar, and she didn't want Qin Qinghuai to suspect anything. Otherwise, why would she need to do it again?
“Auntie, there are only two people in our family. These eggs are enough for us to eat for a while. Please save the eggs for your daughter-in-law and your unborn grandchildren.”
"No, I can't take your brown sugar for free. That stuff is expensive and hard to buy, I know. If you don't want the eggs, then I'll give the money back to you."
This old lady.
"Auntie, I just arrived with the army, and we don't have enough food at home."
Or, if you have any extra food at home, you could bring some for me. I'm not picky about food, any kind of food is fine with me.
To be honest, this brown sugar was brought to me by my family before I came. I don't like it, otherwise I wouldn't have given it to you.
"Ha ha!"
Holding the eggs in his hand, watching the simple and warm farewell to the old lady, Qin Qinghuai still felt a little curious, and whispered to confirm,
"Is this really the first time you've met?"
"What, doesn't it look like it?"
Qin Qinghuai nodded honestly.
"It really doesn't seem like it. I only turned around for a moment, and the way you two were so close, no one would doubt that you were acquaintances."
Does this person possess any other extraordinary qualities?
"No, she's just an ordinary person. She wanted to exchange brown sugar for her pregnant daughter-in-law."
Qin Qinghuai instantly understood. During their previous conversation, she had simply expressed her concerns about her future in-laws. It turned out that her mother-in-law was also a sensitive issue.
He tossed the small items into the basket, moved the broom and curtain to his left hand, and stretched out his right hand to firmly grasp the simple hand.
"Don't worry, my parents are quite open-minded. I told them about you, and they like you very much."
But none of that matters. If we like each other, we'll visit each other like relatives; if we don't, we'll have less contact.
The auntie was right. We are the ones who live our own lives; our parents can't take care of us forever.
A few days ago, it snowed again, and transportation was disrupted once more. The parcels here were stuck in the county town and had not been delivered. The parcels for Qin's parents were also there. Qin Qinghuai had been talking about it these past two days, afraid that his wife would overthink it and think that he was dissatisfied with her.
She was simply led away empty-handed. She didn't think much about it. She had never met the two elderly people, and she didn't expect them to like her much just because they were far away.
However, after living in the village for several years, she was also aware that her personality would not fit the image of a daughter-in-law in her in-laws' eyes. But it must be said that Qin Qinghuai has the potential to be a bit love-struck.
"Do you really think there's nothing wrong with my idea?"
"What's the problem?"
As children grow up, they will have their own thoughts and ideas, things they want to do, and people they want to protect. Parents cannot keep their children by their side for the rest of their lives, nor can they force their children to follow the footprints they have drawn.
As you said, life is something you create yourself. If your children are doing well, parents will only feel happy and gratified.
Honey, don't overthink it. Our life revolves around you and me, and you're the one living with me. The only person you should care about is me.
A quick glance to the side revealed a hint of pink on her earlobe. Was she... shy?
Why do you think I'm overthinking it?
Why should I overthink it?
Didn't you say that it's just the two of us living together, and that we're the only owners of this house, and everyone else is an outsider?
Qin Qinghuai's eyes lit up.
"Of course, you're right to think that way."
To be honest, Qin Qinghuai wasn't entirely confident, especially after witnessing Jian Yiwu and Duli's skills. Compared to his own mediocre abilities, he lacked self-assurance. How could he possibly keep such a wonderful wife?
"Then what else are you worried about?"
I agreed to marry you because I wanted to live a good life with you. All I care about is your opinion.
As for others, take their kind words as advice and blessings, and ignore their unpleasant ones. We don't need others interfering in our lives.
As for personality clashes, I simply think that apart from matters of principle, the others are not a big deal.
However, these words were not very pleasant to hear. At first glance, it seemed to involve Qin's parents as well, which was not a pleasant thing to hear.
After glancing at Qin Qinghuai's expression, he simply and casually added a note to his contact.
"Well, to be honest, we're all newbies, and we don't have any elders around. We're just figuring things out as we go. Hey, do you think you should write to your mother-in-law and ask her for some life advice?"
After all, it's a fact that she has more life experience than us; she's much better than both of us.
Cheng Zhuo had already told her the truth: the Qin family matriarch was not unreasonable; she was straightforward and fiery. Although they hadn't seen each other for many years, he felt that judging from Qin Qinghuai's current personality, the Qin family's family traditions were still intact.
Qin Qinghuai was quick-witted and naturally understood that this was an explanation of what she had just said, explaining that her impolite words were not directed at her parents.
However, he wasn't stupid. He had been out on his own for many years and was used to being independent. He didn't like being told what to do. It wasn't a pleasant thing to say, but he didn't think it was wrong. Since they were already married, they should discuss and live their own lives. It wouldn't be good for their parents to interfere too much.
"If Mom knew how much you think of her, she would be overjoyed. When we talked on the phone before, she kept saying that she was worried her daughter-in-law wouldn't like her."
Although my two older brothers are both in Beijing, they haven't lived at home since they got married. They both moved out and only visit each other during holidays with their wives and children. I think that's a good situation; even though they haven't seen each other for a long time, they still maintain a good impression of each other when they do.
