428: Am I going to be a mother-in-law now?
..
When Yu Erye saw his mother's reaction and the panic on Cuihua's face, he also panicked.
Damn it! I was so busy enjoying myself along the way that I completely ignored the fact that after getting married, I would have to face an age-old problem:
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflict!
If one day his mother and his wife quarreled, who should he help?
Ah, this time it’s really over——
Except for Yu Xiaoye who remained calm as usual, everyone else in the family was at a loss as to what to do with this change.
The old couple could not accept their upgraded status as grandparents for a while. Cuihua felt uneasy about her future fate, while Yu Erye was caught between his parents and his wife, not knowing which one to take care of.
In short, this family suddenly fell into chaos.
Fortunately, Yu Xiaoye was there to mediate between the two sides.
She felt that she was the one who started this matter and it was she who advocated bringing the person back, so she should help both sides to get along.
Actually, it’s not a big problem.
Although Yu Xiaoye did not have this kind of family experience and did not understand the conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she knew that her parents were reasonable people. Even if they could not accept Cuihua, the worst that could happen was that they could let them live separately and not force a couple to break up.
It won't be like some families who clearly dislike each other but are forced to eat from the same pot and fight over trivial matters all day long.
The old couple wouldn't be so desperate, so Yu Xiaoye just needs to patiently guide them.
Therefore, Yu Xiaoye sent Erye and Cuihua away first:
"Second brother, take my second sister-in-law out for a walk first and come back later."
Yu Erye responded hesitantly and led Cuihua out.
Yu Xiaoye and Yu Jiahui helped Xu Ying to the yard and sat her down on a pile of dried adobe bricks, letting her breathe some fresh air.
Before Yu Xiaoye could comfort Xu Ying, Yu Jiahui spoke first:
"Wife, now that things have come to this, you should be more open-minded and think positively. We have one more person in our family now. If we marry a daughter-in-law this year, maybe we'll have a grandson next year. We've got a son, a daughter-in-law, and a grandson for free. We've made a fortune!"
"Go away!" Xu Ying suddenly regained his strength.
When Yu Jiahui saw Xu Ying start to curse, he finally felt relieved. The fact that she could curse meant that everything was normal.
Xu Ying came back to her senses and looked up at her daughter standing in front of her:
"Didn't you say Cuihua is engaged?"
"yes."
"She's engaged to someone else, and you brought her here. You're meddling, don't you know?"
"Mom, the word 'interference' doesn't apply to this matter. Cuihua is only engaged, not married. Besides, the engagement wasn't Cuihua's idea, and she didn't want it either. We're not interfering, we're rehabilitating things and defending freedom of marriage!"
Yu Jiahui sat next to Xu Ying and looked up to teach his daughter:
"Don't talk nonsense to me. I haven't settled the score with you yet."
Yu Xiaoye argued:
"Dad, I brought you a daughter-in-law. Maybe she'll give birth to your grandson next year. I'm clearly a contributor to the family. How can you settle accounts with a contributor?"
"——Anyway, I have to settle accounts with you. Next time, you are not allowed to act on your own. From now on, no matter what you have to do, you must discuss it with us first and then do it after we have reached an agreement."
"Okay, okay, this is the last time. Next time, no matter what, I will definitely get your consent first. I won't do this again. Okay, I admit my mistake. Please forgive me, Comrade Lao Yu and Comrade Lao Xu!"
As he spoke, Yu Xiaoye bowed solemnly ninety degrees in front of the old couple.
Seeing their daughter admit her mistake with a positive attitude, the old couple's anger finally subsided.
The most important thing is to see my daughter come back safely, which is more important than anything else.
Seeing that his parents' expressions had softened a bit, Yu Xiaoye began to persuade them:
"Dad, Mom, Cuihua is the one I want to bring back. If you don't like her, don't separate them.
Let them first ()

..
Let's get married officially and find a job for my second brother. Once he has a stable salary and can support himself, you can let them move out and live alone. It won't be a problem for you.
We can just take care of each other appropriately and treat each other like relatives. What do you think?"
After hearing what his daughter said, Yu Jiahui suddenly said with relief:
"Our Xiao Ye is really a loving child, and he thinks of everything very carefully."
Yu Xiaoye said again:
"Dad, I've told you before that my second brother's obsession is to marry Cuihua. If he doesn't fulfill this wish, he may never be at peace for the rest of his life.
Now that we have married him off, whether he farms or does something else, as long as he has enough food to eat, a wife and children to look after, and lives a peaceful life, wouldn't that save us some worries?
Yu Jiahui nodded:
"Xiao Ye is right about this. Since we've brought everyone here, let's just leave it at that. It's rare that someone doesn't despise that silly boy. Otherwise, he'd really be single for the rest of his life."
Yu Xiaoye knew that his father was the quickest to accept things and was very open-minded. Seeing that his father had no objections, he decided to see what his mother thought.
Xu Ying's reaction seemed to be a beat slower, and he muttered to himself:
"Am I going to be a mother-in-law now?"
Yu Jiahui suddenly laughed and put his arm around Xu Ying's shoulders:
"Are you not happy being a mother-in-law? People are overjoyed when their sons and daughters-in-law marry, so you should be happy too."
Xu Ying rolled her eyes at Yu Jiahui:
"Go to hell—of course you don't have to worry about it."
Yu Jiahui knew Xu Ying best, and he knew why Xu Ying reacted so strongly:
"Oh, don't be so nervous, this is the 1970s, not the 21st century.
You said it's not easy to be a mother-in-law in the 21st century. What's the matter?
It all depends on my daughter-in-law's mood, I believe this.
But in the 1970s, being a mother-in-law was the easiest thing. In that era, we only heard of mothers-in-law exploiting their daughters-in-law, but never heard of daughters-in-law daring to challenge their mothers-in-law.
So you can rest assured about being your old lady. I think Cuihua seems to be quite honest.
No matter in terms of physical strength, momentum, or status, you will definitely crush her in every way, so don't have any psychological burden!
If that foolish boy helps his wife to piss you off someday, don't worry, I'll kill him and never let anyone bully you!
"My dad is right. Cuihua has a good temper and is not naive. Mom, don't worry about any future conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."
Xu Ying sighed and said:
"No matter how much you say, it's useless. You are not the mother-in-law. The knife didn't cut you, so you can't feel the pain.
In fact, I am not afraid of the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, nor am I afraid of Cuihua. I just suddenly became a mother-in-law, and I don’t know how to be a mother-in-law.
You said that it has only been a few months since I adopted a stupid son. Just when I had recovered, suddenly a daughter-in-law came to me.
I can beat or scold my own child whenever I want. I don't have any psychological burden. It's my own child, so I can educate him however I want.
But you said that when someone else's child comes to our house, how can I easily beat or scold him? I don't want to be a vicious mother-in-law in the old society, so I feel pressured, do you know?
Those of you who haven't been mothers-in-law can't understand that feeling at all! "
Yu Jiahui said very understandingly:
"I know you're anxious, it's okay, it's normal, but don't take it too seriously.
Didn't Xiao Ye just say that you can't live with them? Once they get married and can support themselves, they can move out and live on their own. Isn't that okay?
"..."Xu Ying still didn't respond, looking worried.
Yu Jiahui shook Xu Ying's shoulder again and encouraged her:
"Don't worry, I'm here. Let's go back and arrange their wedding and get them together. I'll then arrange work for the second son. ()
