Mo Yun always seemed so strong, but even in this warm, cozy moment, she couldn't hold back her emotions.
Seeing Mo Yun like this, Wang Nian thought of himself back then.
"It will all pass."
Wang Nian's solemn tone gave Mo Yun a great sense of security.
"Yes, it will all pass."
To make Mo Yun feel better, Wang Nian talked about his experiences from years ago. Knowing that he had to live under someone else's roof and take care of his much younger sister, Mo Yun felt a little sorry for him.
When Mo Yun heard that he was found by his biological parents and was doing well, she felt a little envious.
"That's wonderful. Your family loves you and your sister so much. You've finally overcome all your hardships."
She will have a good future, but she may be alone on that path.
Gu An'an said nothing. She didn't want to use the original owner's suffering to comfort Mo Yun, and she believed that Mo Yun would definitely live a good life.
The loneliness at this moment is only temporary.
Gu An'an guessed correctly; after that meal, Mo Yun became a workaholic again.
Despite being very busy, she didn't give up her job of serving food in the cafeteria. In her own words, the time she spent serving food in the cafeteria was a rare opportunity for her to relax.
As soon as Gu An'an stepped into the courtyard that day, she heard a series of complaining cries coming from inside. It was none other than Xiao's second aunt.
"Mom, why can't I, as her mother-in-law, say a few words to her? She even gave me the cold shoulder and went back to her parents' home. Now that heartless man has gone with her, and he even wants me to apologize to his wife, otherwise the two of them will stay at the Zhang family's house and never come back."
"Pah! If they don't want to come back, they don't want to come back. I don't care about them!"
Grandma Xiao felt a headache coming on when she saw her daughter crying. "Look at you, you're so old, why are you still arguing with the younger generation?"
"Mom, how could you say that? I'm her mother-in-law. What's wrong with giving her a few pointers? My mother-in-law said the same thing to me back then, and I'm still doing just fine, aren't I?"
Grandma Xiao immediately exposed her, "Are you sure you're doing well? Over the years, you've cried in front of me countless times because of your mother-in-law. What? Now that you're a mother-in-law, you want your daughter-in-law to suffer the same hardships? How did I raise such a person?"
The old lady believed that all three of her children were raised in the same way, and she even loved her only daughter a little more.
I don't know if it's that little bit of favoritism they showed that made him such a troublemaker.
"Alright, wipe your tears. Tell me what you said about the child this time?"
Aunt Xiao guiltily wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "She got angry without me saying anything..."
Grandma Xiao stood up abruptly, "Since you don't want to talk about it, then hurry home and stop getting in my way."
She's practically half-buried in the ground, and she doesn't want to bother with her children's trivial matters.
"Mom, how could you do this? I... I just asked her to hand over her salary, didn't I? My mother-in-law made me hand it over when I first married into the family..."
The old lady poked her forehead with her finger. "Did you pay it? Of course, you ran home crying as soon as your mother-in-law said that, saying she'd divorce you if you paid your salary. You can't even do that yourself, and now you're forcing your child to do it?"
"But all my colleagues' daughters-in-law hand over their salaries..."
Under her mother's angry glare, the old lady's voice grew softer and softer.
“Your colleague, your colleague, why are you always thinking about how to compare yourself to others? Why don’t you look at your sister-in-law? All these years she has devoted herself to her family, being filial to her parents and loving to her children. Why don’t you learn from her?”
"This, this isn't because my sister-in-law is lucky to have found such a good daughter-in-law as An'an. If my daughter-in-law were even half as good as An'an, I would cherish her like the apple of my eye."
Grandma Xiao retorted directly, "You can just listen to those words yourself. You always envy those who are doing well, but you don't see that every step they take now is the result of their own hard work."
"I advise you to go back and apologize to the children right away, and don't say those unpleasant things again, or you shouldn't come here anymore."
Gu An'an stood at the door for a while, waiting for the mother and daughter to finish their conversation before going in.
Aunt Xiao seemed a little uncomfortable when Gu An'an came in from outside. "An'an, how long have you been back?"
"When my aunt asked my cousin-in-law to hand over her wages."
Gu An'an didn't give her any face, because this second aunt was really a troublemaker.
In the short three months I've lived in the old house, I've encountered her complaining about her daughter-in-law more than once or twice.
Seeing that other people's daughters-in-law are doing a good job, they want their daughters-in-law to learn from them.
Gu An'an said she wondered why she didn't let her daughter-in-law learn from that shrew, who beats her mother-in-law at the slightest disagreement.
How wonderful!
Aunt Xiao was a little embarrassed. "You child, why didn't you come in when you were already back? Why do you have this bad habit of eavesdropping?"
Gu An'an wanted to roll her eyes. "I was just afraid of disturbing your second aunt's enjoyment. Don't worry, second aunt, I have no interest in your family's affairs at all."
"Grandma, what would you like to eat tonight?"
When Grandma Xiao saw Gu An'an, her expression changed completely. She smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits. "An'an, Grandma likes everything you make. Grandma will help you."
Xiao Ergu looked rather displeased at being ignored by both grandmother and grandson, but she knew that no one would agree with her if she continued to speak, so she could only swallow her resentment.
But she wasn't going to leave; her nephew's wife's cooking was so good that you'd want to eat it again and again.
Since she's already here, she'll definitely have to get a free meal before going back.
Anyway, she's thick-skinned and not afraid of being criticized.
Sure enough, once the food was served, this guy started being sarcastic again.
"Sister-in-law, you are so lucky to have married such a good daughter-in-law as An'an. She is good at learning, can earn money, and has excellent cooking skills."
That was acceptable, but what came next was not to everyone's liking.
"If only we could switch daughters-in-law, I would definitely treat An'an like an ancestor."
Gu An'an really didn't want to argue with anyone, especially with an elder like Aunt Xiao.
But this person is always looking for trouble, and Gu An'an can only say that she simply can't help herself.
"No, Second Aunt, if you had a mother-in-law like you, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to handle a daughter-in-law like me."
Aunt Xiao thought Gu An'an was joking with her, "How could I not be able to handle it? I'm overjoyed."
