Zhong Yuxiu smiled and nodded repeatedly. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got along like mother and daughter.
At this moment, she seemed to understand that in the past, whether in ancient times or modern times, sensible mothers-in-law would at most say to their daughters-in-law: If he bullies you, tell me and I will help you beat him.
But this mother-in-law is different! She openly supports her daughter-in-law and makes it clear that if her son makes a mistake, she can beat him without mercy.
So, there are big differences between words, and there are also big differences between mothers-in-law.
"Mom, Rushan is doing well. He's never bullied me. You and Dad are working outside, so don't worry about the family. Rushan and I will discuss and handle any issues. We will also consult you, Dad, and Grandpa about any matters we need to deal with."
"That's right." Mother Yan held her eldest daughter-in-law's hand and suddenly felt that it didn't matter what kind of daughter-in-law Yan Ruhai found; with such a capable, sensible, polite, and lovable daughter-in-law, she couldn't love her enough. If the daughter-in-law Yan Ruhai found was good, she would love her, but if not, she would drive them out and let them live on their own. "We women, we have to be good to ourselves. Only women who love themselves can be loved by others."
"What are men for? They're there for use. If you need help, just go find a man. Although everyone says men and women are equal, we women are born to enjoy life. It's best if we have the conditions to enjoy life, but if we don't, we should create them." Yan's mother kept nagging her, saying many things from her heart that she had never said before. "When men can't support us, we can only rely on ourselves. When men can be relied upon, it's natural for men to do so. Women should also have the economic conditions and strength to survive independently."
In a word, what belongs to others is fake, only what you own is real.
"We can rely on men, but we can't rely entirely on men. If men are bad, we can choose to divorce them, or enslave them and treat them as paid nannies. If men are good, that's another matter."
Zhong Yuxiu: ...Mother-in-law, you are so advanced in your thinking!
"We women can't be silly. We have to learn to be good to ourselves. No matter what the environment or background is, we must make ourselves comfortable." Yan's mother smiled from beginning to end.
Zhong Yuxiu paid close attention to the expressions of her father-in-law and husband. Their expressions were quite interesting and strange. Was her father-in-law thinking that it was a good thing that he was reliable, otherwise he would just be a paid nanny in the eyes of her mother-in-law?
As for my husband, his expression quickly returned to normal. Perhaps he didn't expect his own mother to think this way?!
In short, Zhong Yuxiu laughed unkindly, "Mom, you are worthy of being a mother. What you said makes sense."
Yan Rushan pulled at his wife's coat pocket. "No!" The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were probably thinking about going to heaven. Seeing that she didn't want to pay attention to him at all, Yan Rushan had to cough twice.
"young married woman."
"Hmm?" He looked back in confusion, "What's wrong? If you have something to say, just say it. I'm having a great time chatting with Mom."
Under the gaze of his daughter-in-law, Yan Rushan said nothing.
"Nothing to say?" Zhong Yuxiu finished speaking, but he still didn't say anything. "If you have nothing to say, don't call me and disturb our fun."
Yan Rushan leaned back in the car seat and turned to look at his father; Yan's father also turned to look at him, and both of them understood the deep meaning in each other's eyes.
Can't you control your wife?!
Yan Rushan said: Isn’t it your wife who is leading my wife astray?
The strict father was speechless. He touched his face and looked away, indicating that he had heard nothing.
Yan Rushan:.......such a coward!
Seeing that they were talking happily and had no intention of stopping for the time being, Yan Rushan had to speak up to show that the two men were still there.
"Mom, please don't lead my wife astray."
"What are you talking about?" Yan's mother rolled her eyes at him again. "Yuxiu is so well behaved. I'm afraid you'll bully her."
Yan Rushan: Love will fade away, just like mother and grandfather!
When Zhong Yuxiu turned her head and looked at him with a smile, Yan Rushan obeyed his words and shut up silently.
The strict mother frowned smugly, "Come on, let's continue. Ignore them, father and son. They both have chauvinistic ideas, which is unacceptable. Since you've married them, you have to straighten them out."
"Mom is right. Rushan is indeed a bit chauvinistic. However, he doesn't do that to me much." She also doesn't have the habit of forcing others to change. She has always believed that being a good person and using her actions to subtly influence her partner is the right thing to do.
When someone is willing and determined to change, that's proactive. However, if your partner starts asking you to do this and that, with an attitude of "I'm doing this for your own good," it can be off-putting. Even if you listen and know they mean well and want to change with you, it can still be very stressful, and over time, you might become exhausted and end up breaking up.
Those who truly want to live with their partner forever will not blame the other party no matter what happens.
"Then you have to correct him." Yan's mother held her daughter-in-law's hand and was reluctant to let go. "Dashan's personality is somewhat similar to his father's. You have to talk to him more and remind him. Over time, they will get used to it, and their original chauvinistic thinking will be greatly improved."
She just nodded to whatever Yan's mother said; and because of her attitude, Yan's mother became more and more excited, and only stopped and chatted when the car entered Shangjing City, feeling unsatisfied.
"You and your daughter wait in the car. Dashan and I will go buy some New Year gifts." The strict father spoke, opened the car door and got out.
Yan Rushan followed closely behind, and Fang Guozhong also went over to carry things.
Zhong Yuxiu looked out the window and smiled, "Don't we have so many gifts and benefits at home? It's enough to bring some out."
Her benefits, the company benefits moved back from Yan Rushan, even the benefits brought back by Yan's father and mother, and the New Year gifts from the old man, were almost piled up into a mountain at home.
"These gifts from above are all good things. When we leave after the New Year, won't you, Dashan, and the children have to eat them? Grandpa is old and has been relying on you for care. The tonics and herbs in the benefits can all be used. Instead of giving them away, it's better to buy them now." Yan's mother explained earnestly, "It's not that we're stingy, but the people who need us to visit during the New Year are not ordinary people. When they see us holding the benefits from above, they will think we are really embarrassed to give them away."
Zhong Yuxiu nodded in understanding, "I understand, Mom. What did we send as gifts in the past?" She had never cared about it, and it had always been Yan Rushan who took care of it.
Mother Yan said, "We have everything: food, drinks, and daily necessities. We even have valuables. Most of them were brought back by people we asked to come back from outside, or we got them from the mountains. We didn't prepare anything this year, but we can still buy some good things from the big mall."
