Between the trade-offs, grasp the most important one, and you will get unexpected results.
If Yao Anhong, like Yao Anyi, always grasps the shortcomings of the bucket and worries that it can hold too little water, instead of embracing the water that he can already hold in his hand, wouldn't he end up like a "picker"?
The ending of “If you lose the sesame seeds, lose the watermelon”?
Sometimes in life, you have to learn to make choices.
After chatting that day, Yao Anyi became even more silent.
When he returns to the inner courtyard again, he will not only listen to Mrs. Yao San's cry, but also ask the maid at home what happened at home and why the old aunt was angry with Mrs. Yao San this time.
I would also run to observe my younger brothers and sisters, and ask them carefully whether they were happy at home and whether my aunt was treating them well.
Brother Xu and Sister Qing, with rosy faces, told him happily: "My aunt is so good, she even taught us how to weave grasshoppers..."
"My aunt took us to cook peanuts to eat. My aunt is so good, she can cook peanuts."
…
In the eyes of a child, cooking peanuts is a very difficult task. You have to make a fire and boil water, and you have to be careful not to burn yourself. My aunt finished it in one go, which is amazing.
Yao Anyi chatted with them for a while and found that his younger brother and sister particularly liked Aunt Chen.
Aunt Chen used to favor boys over girls because he was a girl, so she would either sneer at him or call his mother a hen that doesn't lay eggs.
In Yao Anyi's impression, Aunt Chen is the dark shadow of his childhood.
But in the eyes of her younger brothers and sisters, Aunt Chen is a good grandma who is "all-powerful" and will lead them to "naughty things".
I don’t know when, Aunt Chen changed?
Could it be that if we send her back once, Aunt Chen can really become so good? If so, can we also consider taking her as a mother...
Yao Anyi did not continue thinking about it because this idea was really unfilial.
Take another look at the third room.
After Auntie Chen came back, the changes in the third room were still great. The servants who were usually timid and fearful of being dealt with by her mother became more relaxed and dared to joke and laugh boldly.
It was as if they had suddenly found their backbone.
The sun became brighter, the air became clearer, and unknowingly, some quiet changes took place in the third room without Yao Anyi's knowledge.
And these were things he hadn't noticed before.
He was blinded by Mrs. Yao San's cries.
He didn't notice these things at all. He only knew that Mrs. Yao San was crying very sadly. He only knew that Mrs. Yao San was "embarrassed" by Aunt Chen, but he did not see what happened behind the embarrassment.
Yao Anyi suddenly understood why his cousin told him to stop staring at his mother and to open his eyes to see other people.
Although Yao Anhong didn't say it directly, everyone else was "fine" except his mother...
What does this mean?
Is the problem really with Aunt Chen?
Definitely not. If the problem really lies with Aunt Chen, then her mother will not be the only one to complain, it should be the entire third house.
Yao Anyi was in a gloomy mood.
Because he really didn't expect that the problem was not with Aunt Chen, but with his mother.
No child would want to admit such a thing.
Even if Yao Anyi knows that no matter how bad his mother is, he doesn't want to admit it.
Yao Anyi closed his eyes, took another deep breath, and finally suppressed this boring feeling.
He felt that his cousin was right. A good man has his ambitions in all directions and should focus on the outer courtyard. As for the affairs of the inner courtyard...it is better to leave it to the women themselves.
Once the decision was made, Yao Anyi suddenly felt that the pressure on his shoulders was much lighter. When Mrs. Yao San cried to him again, he remained silent and did not express any further opinions.
After crying a few times, Mrs. Yao San saw that crying had no effect on him, so she was so angry that she yelled at him: "What do you mean?! I am your mother, and I have suffered so much injustice, but you didn't even fart!"
"
"Yao Anyi, have all your books been read into the dog's belly?!"
"If I had known you were such a thing, when I gave birth to you, I should have stuffed you into a quilt and suffocated you to death."
…
Yao Anyi looked shocked.
Although he knew that Mrs. Yao San was cowardly and selfish, he still didn't expect that when Mrs. Yao San couldn't get any benefit from him, she would actually "scold" him like this?!
He is her biological son.
He suffered so many injustices when he was a child, but he never blamed her or complained about her. How could she do this?
At this moment, Aunt Chen suddenly came in with someone and slapped Mrs. Yao San on the face with a "pop" sound.
Scolding her is nothing. No matter how bad her son is, he is still a son, and she raised him by herself. When she wants to scold her, why doesn't she scold herself first?
Someone dragged Mrs. Yao San back to her room to think about her mistakes. Then she turned to look at Yao Anyi. It was as if she was a different person. Her attitude immediately improved. She also smiled and told Yao Anyi to study in peace. Don't worry about things in the backyard, man.
Well, he should be like his father and focus his energy outside.
Yao Anyi: "..."
Although he knew that the best choice now was Aunt Chen, Yao Anyi hadn't thought about what attitude he should take towards her, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Fortunately, Aunt Chen didn't insist on asking Yao Anyi to say anything. After saying what she should say, she took the people away.
Outside the house, Aunt Chen sighed: "This child is my biological father!"
The housekeeper of the Lu Zhou family consoled her: "How could it be? The third young master just hasn't seen my old aunt for a few years, and he doesn't know how to speak. It will get better gradually when we get along with each other for a long time."
Old Aunt Chen shook her head gently: "There are some things you don't know. Forget it, let's just live by birth. Anyway, I'm quite old, and I don't know how many more years I can live.
I don't expect to enjoy his happiness. As long as he respects my filial piety for the sake of his parents, that's fine."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Aunt Chen still knows what she did back then.
During the past few years at Zhuangzi, she had recalled her life a lot.
As the concubine of the old Earl, she has always been arrogant and proud, but she did a few things wrong, one of which was Yao Anyi.
At first, because Mrs. Yao San raised Auntie Chen as her sister, she had to teach Yao Anyi a lot. It was not until it was revealed that he was a man that Yao Anyi's situation improved.
But at that time it was too late for her to compensate Yao Anyi, and then she was sent away by Mrs. Yao.
After so many years, it was normal for Yao Anyi not to like her.
The housekeeper of the Lu Zhou family wanted to persuade her again, but she saw that Aunt Chen didn't want to talk anymore, so she didn't say anything. She only joined the Yao family later and didn't know much about the past events before the Yao family moved to Jinling, but she
He is a smart person and can vaguely detect from Aunt Chen's attitude - this matter is different and cannot be discussed further.
She didn't want to step on Aunt Chen's painful foot. If she didn't know, it was better not to say more.
He turned around and talked about other things with Aunt Chen.
After Auntie Chen came back, she discovered that Mrs. Yao was really not so generous and had actually given the third house several good deals.
It's just that Mrs. Yao San was a bit unsatisfied, so some of it was not in Mrs. Yao San's hands. Some of it might be in the hands of her son, Mr. Yao San, and some of it was in the hands of Mrs. Yao.
Old Aunt Chen did not dare to touch what Sanye Yao and Mrs. Yao were holding, but Mrs. Chen took it over very domineeringly without saying a word and took it as her own.
In the words of Aunt Chen: "What's mine is not yours? What's the difference between me taking care of it and you taking care of it? Besides, I'm your mother-in-law. It's my responsibility to take care of such an important matter."
