Chapter 260 If there is a mother, there must be a daughter(1/2)

Ms. Li did not choose to refute, and she only thought about the prosperity of her family and everything, chickens and eggs. With the current financial situation of their family, they could not afford to give them away.

This does not mean that she is weak, it is entirely for the sake of her husband and children to maintain this kind of family affection, even if this kind of affection is a little indifferent.

Mrs. Li raised her head and glanced at her husband, nodded to her mother-in-law, and then gave instructions to her daughter to tell her sisters to keep an eye on her brother.

The five sisters had no support from their mother. They went to see their little cousins ​​and they didn't express any opinions!

Ye Shiqi and her sisters actually felt the same way. The second aunt, like the eldest aunt and the third aunt, did not care much about their sisters.

The relationship established between people does not only involve strong feelings among relatives. When the elders love and care for the younger ones, the younger ones will respect them. When they grow up, they will also show some concern for the elders in everything they do.

On the contrary..., they will only be treated with corresponding indifference!

Lai, a grandmother, actually asked her daughter-in-law to visit her daughter after she gave birth. She was so stingy that she didn't even bring a red envelope to her daughter-in-law, let alone give her daughter's children clothes and shoes.

.

It stands to reason that since she knew that Ye Shuzhi's child was about to be born, her mother, or her close elder sister, younger sister, or sister-in-law would prepare clothes, quilts, etc. for the unborn child.

Especially the family members, regardless of whether the child is a boy or a girl, will prepare the newborn first.

As a mother, Mrs. Lai did not prepare for her daughter to get married. As her natal sister-in-law, Mrs. Li actually bought some cotton fabrics for herself in the past few months when her son grew older and her daughters wanted to make clothes.

When my son was preparing quilts for winter clothes, he prepared an extra copy, thinking that he might use them.

When the three sisters-in-law give birth to children in the future, her mother-in-law will definitely ask her to go again.

Mrs. Li was so stingy about her mother-in-law that good things never got to her, and she would only think of her when she had to contribute money and effort, expressing her helplessness but having to do it.

Her sister-in-law has a bad attitude towards her, she understands that she has not grown up yet, why should a woman embarrass a woman!

Ever since Mrs. Li got married, she had heard the matchmaker say how good the family was, and that her husband and son were very capable. But since she got married, she has learned that the matchmaker has such a powerful tongue, and can tell everything about life and death.

Why didn't it say that except for the two men in the family who are capable of working, the other people's moral character is not very good.

It was only after entering the house that she realized that her husband had no control over the family, and she failed to live up to expectations with one child after another. She could only endure this humility and work diligently at home for her daughter.

Now that I have made it through today, and my husband and I have been able to talk to each other in this house, we can only turn a blind eye to some of the behaviors of our best family members and best relatives, and just be ourselves.

It’s not that she doesn’t hold grudges about the bad attitude her mother-in-law and sister-in-law had towards her in the past, and it was also her father-in-law’s fault. She just feels that people can’t live in the past forever.

Being magnanimous does not mean stupidity. Considering that they are husband and family, Mrs. Li did her duty and let others have their say.

Mrs. Li heard what her mother-in-law said last night, and she had already prepared things in the evening.

Chickens and eggs, when you get up in the morning, let the workers at home go to the manor to catch chickens and pick up fresh eggs.

Before the workers came back, the first person to enter their yard was Ye Shuying. This sister-in-law was holding her son in her arms and had no other belongings.

"Sister-in-law, are you ready? It's already morning."

Ye Shuying's loud voice appeared in the Ye family's yard. It seemed that everyone in the Ye family knew why this sister-in-law had arrived.

Seeing her with nothing but holding her son, everyone felt speechless.

No one thought that Ye Shuying came to Ye's house with empty hands and went to town to buy things for her sister. From the looks of it, she relied entirely on Li to prepare things.

Ye Shuying came with her son in her arms. She wanted to take her son with her to eat at her sister's house. Anyway, she didn't have to walk on her own. Didn't she have a bullock cart owned by her mother's family?

Ye Shuying's abacus was very loud. She felt that her mother's family, who already had wealth, would not walk around carrying so many chickens and eggs.

Mrs. Li was playing with her son in her arms when she heard her sister-in-law's loud voice, but she did not run out of the door. She was confident that her sister-in-law would automatically look for her.

"Sister-in-law, didn't you hear what I said? Where are the chickens and eggs?"

Ye Shuying carried her son into the living room, without letting her son call someone first or paying attention to her nephew.

She is always concerned about gifts. As a sister, she is actually doing it just for the sake of her feelings. She doesn’t pay for the visit and it’s out of vanity. She wants a little face and doesn’t want people to gossip about her. She wants to have a meal if she can’t give out gifts today.

.

"Preparing!"

Ye Shuying was very satisfied with Li's gentle attitude. This sister-in-law did not embarrass her and said anything to let her prepare gifts by herself.

"Sister-in-law, in addition to chickens and eggs, do you also prepare clothes and quilts for my sister's child?"

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "You have to ask your mother about this. Do you want me to prepare these clothes and other things for you?"

Ye Shuying became anxious after hearing what her sister-in-law said:

"Sister-in-law, didn't my mother tell you? Prepare chickens and eggs for me?"

Mrs. Li stopped her smile and said:

"We won't argue with you about chickens and eggs. We will prepare one for you, but you must prepare the children's clothes and other things yourself. It's fine if your mother prepares an extra portion!"

Ye Shuying breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her sister-in-law say this. She was just an aunt anyway. As long as her family prepared those things, she would have chickens and eggs in name only.

"Sister-in-law, as long as you prepare these things, it will be fine. For a newborn child, my sister will definitely prepare these things. The baby will grow up quickly and does not need too many clothes."

Mrs. Li would not let Ye Shuying make do with her remarks. With a mother like that, there would be a daughter like that. The matters between their sisters should be settled by themselves.

Ye Shuying came to the Ye family, and the sisters of the Ye family did not come to the living room to watch the fun.

In fact, if they think about it, they know that the eldest aunt, like other aunts, is stingy like grandma, likes to take advantage, and only gets in and out of corners. This kind of indifference is only for their own interests, regardless of family affection, and the sisters do not like it.

like.

Another reason why the five sisters did not appear in the living room was that Mr. Chen had already come to teach. They were in a room. The fact that they did not make any sound did not mean that they were not studying. The teacher asked them to write.

While waiting, Ye Shuying sat on a chair with her son in her arms, and started gossiping again:

"Sister-in-law, what special gift have you prepared for the doll? For example, gold and silver jewelry?"

Ye Shuying's mysterious questions were actually except when her eldest son was born. Because her parents' family was poor, they didn't give her anything at that time.

But it doesn't mean that now that my mother's family has become rich, they won't give things to my second sister's children.

The biggest reason why Ye Shuying asked this question was to test. If her sister-in-law really gave something to her second sister's child, her eldest son would also be her nephew!

If he is still a boy, he must ask his sister-in-law to make up for the gift.

Ye Shuying said that Mrs. Li was neither very smart nor very stupid. Although she didn't know many words, she was worldly and had seen rich people doing things. How could she not understand her sister-in-law's thoughts?

She gave birth to six children. Her eldest sister-in-law had never been married before, so she didn't care if she didn't give gifts to the children. When the next two children were born, let alone visiting and giving gifts, she often came empty-handed.

When we go to visit relatives together like now, I want to prepare an extra gift for her.

Li didn't care about them, but it didn't mean he was so stupid to be regarded as a fool. He shook his head and said:

"Your parents didn't prepare anything. These clothes and a small quilt. I've done my best and didn't prepare any other gifts."

Ye Shuying glanced at her nephew who was being held by her sister-in-law. She didn't see anything on the little man's neck. She didn't know whether it was covered by clothes or if he really wasn't wearing anything.

He looked down at his son again and saw that he was really not wearing anything.

Ye Shuying kept holding her son in her arms and came to her parents' living room to feed her son snacks.

She didn't let her son run out to play in the yard. Of course, she didn't want the child to get his clothes dirty and be seen as dirty when he went to a relative's house.

Ye Shuying rolled her eyes. Is there anything on this little baby's neck? It doesn't matter. She knows that one of her nieces has many, many valuable things.

She had heard from her mother and sisters a long time ago and had been thinking about it for a long time, but she had never been able to succeed.

At this time, my husband still relied on his natal family to do things, and he never dared to go too far and fall out with his natal family.

For example, at this time, I still want to take advantage of my mother-in-law's family.

"Sister-in-law, I heard about my youngest niece, but the young master of the Tang family gave me a lot of gifts. Please take out one or two of them and give them to my son and my sister's daughter!"

Mrs. Li still had a little smile before, but the sister-in-law became more and more excessive when she spoke and did things more and more. She suppressed her smile:

"Don't make any decisions about my daughter's belongings. If you want to say something else, then you should consider whether you can provide the chickens and eggs yourself!"

Ye Shuying did not expect that Mrs. Li, who had always been so gentle and as weak as a bun, would fall out at once. She wanted to say something more, but when she thought about how expensive chickens and eggs were, she held back her words!

She swallowed this breath in her stomach, and the sister-in-law in front of her was no longer the weak and easy-to-bully guy before.

"What are you talking about?"

When Lai finally showed up, she could choose not to show her face and leave the preparation of red envelopes and gifts to Li.

I was just eavesdropping on the conversation in the living room and wondered when their sisters-in-law had such a harmonious conversation. As a mother, Lai was a little jealous.

Competition between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has existed since ancient times.

"Mom, we didn't say anything. We are waiting for someone to bring back the chickens and eggs."

Although Ye Shuying is quite messy, if she had wanted her sister-in-law to quarrel with her mother before, she would have looked happy, but now it is different. She is asking her sister-in-law to help with many things, and she does not think that this sister-in-law will not care about offending her as before.

"Why haven't you two set off yet?"

Lai didn't ask anything when she saw her, so she started to drive people away. Although she didn't think much about her daughter, she was still her daughter. She was a little worried. Her daughter was not in good health after giving birth and her husband's family didn't take good care of her.

Especially for those who have given birth to a daughter, she certainly knows how to treat her daughter-in-law. For those who have given birth to a daughter, her daughter's in-laws will certainly not treat her so well.

Although Lai was worried in her heart, she did not choose to visit by herself. Women always have to pass the test of childbirth. The birth of a boy or girl depends on luck and their own destiny.

Just as Mrs. Li was about to go back, she heard the sound of an oxcart coming in from the yard, including the crow of chickens.

"Mom, aren't these the chickens and eggs prepared by my sister-in-law? Don't worry about it. If you don't go, just be at home!"

Ye Shuying said to her mother.
