Chapter 215: Pearl Covered in Dust

It’s not that Jiang Rou is cruel.

But an unborn child can never compare to a living person.

Lin Yulan had probably made up her mind not to have children a long time ago, so she took birth control pills secretly.

The appearance of this child was an accident.

It even became a heavy psychological burden for Lin Yulan.

In this case, it is better to eliminate all problems while the situation is not serious.

"Sister Yulan, this child is in your belly. You are the child's mother and the only one who is qualified to make the decision. No one else can do that, not even Captain Liang."

"If you don't want this child, I will keep your secret forever and no one will find out in your lifetime."

"If you still can't bear to let him go and want to keep him, that's fine. If it's Sister Yulan's child, not only me, but all the sisters-in-law in the compound will like it."

Jiang Rou held Lin Yulan's hand tightly while speaking.

The choice has always been in Lin Yulan's hands.

What Jiang Rou did was to hope that no matter which choice Lin Yulan made, she would not be alone and helpless, and there would always be someone to support her unconditionally.

Lin Yulan never thought that a conversation would turn out like this.

She was confused and shocked.

What Jiang Rou said was so...incompatible with the values ​​of this era.

Yet it is so attractive, with self-consistent logic and no mistakes.

Lin Yulan's long-standing cognition seemed to be torn apart by a force, leaving a small crack.

Something is growing out from this crack.

Jiang Rou continued speaking.

"Sister Yulan, we will encounter all kinds of emotions in our lives, such as love, family, friendship... I think these emotions are actually not important at all. Whether we love or not, they will always leave us at a certain stage in our lives."

Lin Yulan asked in confusion, "Then what do you think is the most important?"

"I think the most important emotion is that we love ourselves."

"Love yourself...?"

"Yes, fall in love with yourself!" Jiang Rou nodded heavily, "I'm so beautiful, so smart, and I cook so deliciously... How can I not be loved when I'm so amazing? Sister Yulan, you're the same. You're so gentle, so capable, and so many people envy you..."

"No, no, no... It's not like that... It's all because of my parents, because I am a lover of light..."

Lin Yulan shook her head quickly, denying the compliment from Jiang Rou.

She believed that all the recognition and praise she received from childhood to adulthood came from the protection of her parents and because of Liang Guangming's prominent family background, and never thought that it was due to her own excellence.

This is the inferiority complex that has been hidden in Lin Yulan's heart since she was a child.

Such a good woman actually has an inferiority complex in her heart.

It was like a gem hiding itself in the sand, feeling that it was as ordinary as the sand around it.

The pearl is covered with dust.

How heartbreaking it is.

Jiang Rou had heard this before, so she specifically mentioned "self-love" to Lin Yulan.

The reason why Lin Yulan envied Qin Shu was not because she envied Qin Shu's arrogant look despite having nothing.

She had no idea that she had reason to be proud.

Jiang Rou continued, "Sister Yulan, we are now on a completely closed island."

"When you came to the island with the army last fall, most of the sisters-in-law were strangers to you. It was because you lived together that you gradually formed a small society. This compound is completely different from the one you lived in before."

"There are no parents like you here, and no children who grew up listening to you. It's made up of all kinds of people. The sisters-in-law have very different personalities. Some are sharp, some are rude and direct, and some are timid... But no matter who they are, they all like you and are willing to listen to you."

"Sister Yulan, I don't believe that the sisters-in-law are convinced by you because you are the lover of Captain Liang. Otherwise, with Sister Guifen's temper, she would definitely overturn the table if she was not happy at all. She is still the lover of Captain Zhao."

Following Jiang Rou's words, Lin Yulan remembered Zhao Guifen's hot temper, and also remembered that when they first started dating, Zhao Guifen had complained about her slow temper.

But gradually, everyone stopped saying those things, and instead came to her for advice whenever they encountered any problem.

Others, unconsciously, began to revolve around her.

Lin Yulan subconsciously brought it back to her childhood.

Because she is the oldest child and often takes care of the younger ones, her younger brothers and sisters like to hang around her.

Now I am reminded by Jiang Rou.

She was surprised to find that in this compound, there were many sisters-in-law of all kinds, many of whom were older than her.

Moreover, we are all adults with different tempers. If we are not convinced from the bottom of our hearts, there will definitely be friction.

So, it was really her...

A trace of shock and hesitation flashed across Lin Yulan's pale face.

Jiang Rou knew that with Lin Yulan's intelligence, she should understand it immediately.

She continued.

"Sister Yulan, no matter if Qin Shu will come back or not, no matter how long your marriage with Captain Liang will last, your life belongs to you. You don't need to compromise yourself for anyone else. Love yourself hard, even if you are willful. Choose the way that makes you happiest and happiest. After all, we still have many decades to go in our lives!"

The small crack in Lin Yulan's heart was pulled hard again, spreading silently to the apex of her heart.

Love herself...

Good and novel words sound free.

She seemed to understand something.

At this moment.

There was a clattering sound of footsteps in the yard.

As soon as Jiang Rou heard the voice, she knew it was Zhou Xiaohua.

Zhou Xiaohua has short and chubby legs, so the sound of her footsteps when she walks is very special.

"It's Xiaohua who's here."

Jiang Rou reminded Lin Yulan that after all, their conversation was not suitable to be said in front of the children.

Lin Yulan looked up.

Zhou Xiaohua was seen wearing a small floral dress, holding onto the door frame with her little hands, and walking up the stairs.

The chubby and pink little girl was shaking her cute little braids, and her whole body exuded a sweet and soft aura.

Zhou Xiaohua walked up to Jiang Rou, stretched out her little hand, and smiled sweetly at her.

In the palm of her hand, she was holding a small purple flower.

【For you! 】

The flowers were found in the small yard of Lin Yulan's home.

After finding it, Zhou Xiaohua couldn't wait to give it to Jiang Rou.

"Thank you, Xiaohua. How is it? Does it look good?"

Jiang Rou took the small flower and inserted it between her hair.

Zhou Xiaohua immediately nodded vigorously, giving the highest affirmation with shining eyes.

[Looks good, mom is the most beautiful! ]

Lin Yulan looked at the heartwarming scene between mother and daughter with a gentle expression, and thought that Zhou Xiaohua would stick to Jiang Rou and act coquettishly, or continue to play in the yard.

Who would have known that Zhou Xiaohua turned around and actually walked towards her.
