Upon hearing this, Chi Deng nodded solemnly: "Okay! I'll come to see Mother tomorrow morning, and then go to school."
"Okay, go back now, be careful on the road!"
After Chi Yu finished speaking, she hugged Zhuang Zhuang and watched them leave.
Once she could no longer see anyone, she took the child and went to the grocery store.
Chi Dahu's home and the old house were not far apart. Even with the thick snow and difficult roads, it still took less than fifteen minutes to get there.
After Chi Dahu entered, he put A Guang down and said to Chi Deng:
"Second brother, keep a close watch at night. If the snow is too heavy, remember to go up to the roof and shovel it."
Chi Deng had just put Ali down when he heard this and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, Father, I will, don't worry!"
Chi Dahu then looked at his eldest daughter-in-law: "You too, eldest daughter-in-law."
Ah Guang and Ah Li are still young. When you're sleeping, please be careful not to let the fire go out.
Also, don't go to your aunt's place for the next few days.
However, if anyone in the family feels unwell, such as from a cold or fever, remember to get medicine from your aunt.
"Okay, Dad, don't worry, I will!"
Chi Dahu nodded, then turned and strode away.
Liu Mei remained standing to the side, head bowed, silent.
After her father-in-law left, she looked up, first at her sister-in-law, and then at the man who had gone to heat the kang (a traditional heated bed).
Liu Lingling had noticed her unusual behavior long ago.
There were some things I couldn't say before because I was at my aunt's house.
Now that she was at home and there were no outsiders around, she went over and whispered words of comfort:
"Second sister-in-law, your aunt said it's not your fault, and your father didn't say anything either, so don't blame yourself."
This is not the kind of thing we wanted to see.
Besides, I know that you said those things before because you were thinking of A-Guang and A-Li.
To be honest, I was also at fault in this matter.
When you said that, I didn't say anything, which is tantamount to me agreeing.
If I disagreed and said no on the spot, I doubt Mother would have gone out.
Liu Mei felt much better after hearing her sister-in-law's words, and decided to tell the truth.
"Sister-in-law, I feel terrible!"
My mother is so good to us. Being her daughter-in-law is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me.
If my loose tongue caused her death, I would never forgive myself for the rest of my life.
Liu Lingling recalled the lives of other newlyweds when she was a young woman, and felt a pang of sadness as she compared them to her own life.
Isn't that right?
Being able to become her mother-in-law's daughter-in-law is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to her.
Leaving aside others, even her own family—her mother, aunt, and great-aunt—are still living with her grandmother.
Not to mention those cousins and their wives.
Her mother was only able to keep a few coins after she became a grandmother.
Before that, every penny earned had to be handed over.
Unlike her, who is only in her early twenties and has young children, she is already in charge of the household.
Even more extreme, when she gave birth, her mother-in-law made her sit for a full month.
During this time, he wouldn't let her touch cold water or anything like that.
When her sister-in-law gave birth to a son, she was only allowed to stay in confinement for ten days to half a month, and then she could eat a few eggs.
As for my daughter, forget about it; she'd have to get up and work the next day.
When she gave birth to Ah-Guang, she had meat at every meal, and the family always made sure she had enough rice and flour.
Not long after she finished her postpartum confinement, she became pregnant with Ali again. Her mother-in-law immediately took action and beat up her husband.
After she gave birth to Ali and her body was damaged, she was unable to have children again. Her mother-in-law beat her husband again.
After that, she was made to stay in confinement for a full sixty days.
He also comforted her, saying that it's okay if she can't have children, since she already has two.
