Chapter 173: Is a woman’s virtue due to her lack of talent?
Liu Xuezhen paused for a moment. These words...
"You heard it all..."
"Well, I happened to pass by your door, so I overheard it. Sister-in-law, Mom really cares about you. If I hadn't found a job and had no time to take care of two children, Mom would have wanted to come back to take care of you a long time ago. Didn't Mom once say that among the two daughters-in-law, you are the only one she likes the most."
These words were said by Wei Mingfang herself when the original owner was still alive.
Even though it's aimed at the original owner and not her, isn't it nice to use it now?
"Pregnant women's emotions are inherently changeable. Sister-in-law, I understand how you feel right now. However, a harmonious family brings prosperity."
At this moment, Liu Xuezhen finally broke through.
Because no matter how much Lu Shih-Tian cares about her, he always complains that she is always making trouble, and she is unwilling to go back to her room to sleep with him. The meals her father-in-law cooks every day are not to her taste...
All sorts of little things would cause her emotions to explode.
That night, Lin Yangyang returned to her room very late. When she returned, the twins and Jialan were already asleep in bed.
You can see that there are more tear marks in the corners of Jialan's eyes.
However, after tonight, Liu Xuezhen's mood should be much more stable. She should be able to control her emotions in the future and will not lose her temper with Jialan anymore.
Jialan is one year older than Jiayan and his two siblings. She is actually old enough to go to school, but her family has never allowed her to go to school...
"mother."
Just when Lin Yangyang was thinking about covering the children with quilts, Lu Jiayan opened his eyes in a daze.
"Be good, it's late, close your eyes and go back to sleep."
"No, Mom, I'm waiting for you..." Lu Jiayan was actually very sleepy, but he kept his eyes open. "Jialan, she really wants to study, but no one in her family can send her to school. Mom, can you help her?"
Unexpectedly, after waiting for a whole night, he actually wanted to ask her this question.
Lin Yangyang was slightly startled, and stroked his head with a smile, "Mom will take care of this matter, you should go to sleep."
After getting the promise, Lu Jiayan smiled happily, then closed his eyes and fell asleep quickly.
After looking at the three siblings, Lin Yangyang fell into deep thought.
The next day, Wei Mingfang got up early to make breakfast.
Just when everyone thought that Liu Xuezhen would not come downstairs today because of last night's unpleasantness, she came to the dining table with her bulging belly and sat down.
Even greeted everyone with a smile...
It was as if the crazy woman who suddenly exploded last night was not her.
Wei Mingfang also admired Lin Yangyang's ability to make a crazy person become so calm.
After dinner, Lu Shitian and Lu Mingguo went back to their room for a nap, while the three children were having fun in the living room. Seeing Wei Mingfang cleaning up in the kitchen, Liu Xuezhen followed her into the kitchen.
Lin Yangyangzhi heard what they were talking about. The atmosphere was quite good, but she didn't hear the details of what they were talking about.
However, judging from Wei Mingfang's amiable expression, the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law should be pretty good.
When they came out of the kitchen, both of them looked cheerful.
Lu Shiyuan promised to come back for dinner tonight, so Lin Yangyang planned to go home after dinner.
After lunch, the men in the family went to work, and Wei Mingfang started to clean up the house. Although she was nagging while cleaning, she was quick and cleaned very neatly.
When cleaning up, Liu Xuezhen was also asked to go back to her room because it is not good for pregnant women to inhale dust.
Liu Xuezhen did not go back to her room, but watched her three children playing with the neighbors' children outside.
Lin Yangyang thought there was no chance, so she stayed in the house to help with the work.
While she was helping to wash sheets and curtains in the yard, she happened to hear a conversation outside.
"Xuezhen, did you have a fight last night? Oh, I seemed to hear you crying. What happened? Did someone at home bully you?"
The person who spoke was the neighbor's aunt.
To put it nicely, she is a neighbor, but in fact, she is just a gossip who wants to extract some gossip from Liu Xuezhen so that she can use it as a topic of conversation with others.
In her heart, this auntie actually hopes to see the Lu family live worse than her own family. She also has two sons, but neither of them can compare to Lu Shiyuan. Not to mention that Lin Yangyang brought back a lot of gifts yesterday, which could only arouse her hatred of the rich.
After Lin Yangyang's persuasion, Liu Xuezhen had calmed down. It was even more impossible for her to say bad things about her family members in front of outsiders. Wouldn't that be a joke?
"Oh, I was a little bit arguing last night, so I spoke a little loudly. I didn't expect to disturb you, Aunt Six. I'm really sorry."
"Really?" Auntie Liu raised her eyebrows and pricked up her ears. "But, I seemed to hear you crying."
Liu Xuezhen smiled and said, "You must have heard it wrong."
Besides Aunt Liu, there was another woman on the bluestone slab outside, and that was Lu Shitian’s aunt’s cousin.
"No, I heard you yelling and crying last night." My aunt's house was just behind Lu's, and there was an alley between the two houses.
Liu Xuezhen insisted and shook her head, "You must have heard it wrong. There was no quarrel in our family."
The two nodded, but seemed not to have heard what she said.
"I heard that you want to send Jialan to school? Well, you are preparing to have a baby now, and there must be a lot of expenses at home. Shitian doesn't make a lot of money."
"That's right. You have to think about your family. Who says your husband is not as good as Shiyuan? You can still go to school even if you don't spend money. What's more, Jialan is just a girl. Why should she go to school? A woman should work at home and earn money to support the family when she grows up."
"I didn't pay any money to send her to school. She should just stay at home and do the laundry, cook, and take care of her brother. That's what she should do."
"That's right. When she reaches adulthood, she will get married right away. If we spend so much money on her education, won't it just be given away to someone else in the end?"
Lin Yangyang heard the conversation between the two and couldn't help but want to laugh.
Liu Xuezhen was a little angry and also a little hesitant.
It’s not that I don’t want my daughter to go to school, but the baby will be born soon, and there will be a lot of things to spend money on. If I let Jialan go to school, what will I do if I don’t have money by then?
Perhaps seeing Liu Xuezhen's hesitation, the aunt continued, "Xuezhen, don't be soft-hearted. If you were pregnant with a boy, wouldn't it be better to let Jialan stay at home and help wash diapers and cook?"
"That's right, more labor is better than more economic pressure..."
"I said." Finally, Lin Yangyang couldn't help herself. She shook the water off her hands and walked out of the house. "The Qing Dynasty has already perished. What are you doing?"
When Auntie and Sixth Auntie first met, they were obviously unhappy with each other.
"Yangyang, what are you talking about!"
"Yeah, why do you talk to your elders like that?"
