Listening to Mrs. Li's thoughts, Bai Yunxi couldn't help but tremble at the corner of her mouth. Before the baby was born, she already wanted to be a scholar. If nothing else, she was not so bold as to dare to think like this.
"Don't come here, don't think that I will agree to it if you pour me the ecstasy soup with me. You can take care of your baby by yourself, and grandma can be responsible for her food, drink, and chewing, and she doesn't care about anything else."
If you want to trick her with a high hat, there is no way.
"Mom~, I also want my son to take the exam as a scholar~"
Mrs. Li stroked her belly and looked at her mother-in-law pitifully, like a dog. She was speechless when she saw Baiyunxi.
I knew this man was a fool and straight-tempered, but I didn't expect him to be so clingy even when he acted coquettishly.
"Oops... I suddenly discovered that there is still an inventory that I haven't finished reading. I have to go and look through it. I have harvested more grain this season. I will contact Shopkeeper Wang of Xu Ji Grain Store to send someone to collect grain. There can be no delay."
With that said, Bai Yunxi stood up directly and quickly returned to his room under Li's resentful eyes.
The moment he entered the house, Bai Yunxi raised his hand and patted his chest.
Ouch~, she really can't stand someone acting coquettishly with her. No matter in her past life or this life, she has never been a coquettish person, and she can't resist others acting coquettishly.
Mrs. Li stood up holding on to the table and watched her mother-in-law run into the house as if she was running away. She was a little confused for a moment.
"Mom~, I haven't finished speaking yet..."
"Pfft~, second brother and sister, you scared my mother so much that she didn't even dare to sit and enjoy the rain."
Mrs. Du came over with a sewing basket and couldn't help but burst out laughing. This was the first time she saw her mother-in-law running into her house in a hurry.
Although she didn't hear clearly, she vaguely heard Xiucai and Wa'er.
Mrs. Li came back to her senses and looked at Mrs. Du with a pout, "Sister-in-law, I want my mother to help me take care of the baby, but she doesn't seem to be happy."
Du Shi was stunned, his eyes fell on her belly, and smiled, "She hasn't given birth yet, you are too impatient."
"I'm not just looking around, but I'm just chatting with my mother. The third grandma said that the baby in my belly is probably a boss. My sister-in-law also knows that Brother Yan and I are rough people and can't teach the baby well.
If I leave it to my mother to raise, I might be able to teach him a scholar."
Du: "..."
No wonder my mother-in-law ran away, she would have run away too.
Let’s not talk about boys and girls. She thought Xiu Cai Gong was just a cabbage and a radish in the field. It was so easy to get it?
If nothing else, take Grandpa's cousin Anbang as an example. He has been taking the exam for several years and has not even been awarded the title of "Tongsheng". The second younger brother and sister are not polite, and they talk like a scholar when they open their mouths. It will scare people to death, okay?
"Sister-in-law, why don't you speak?"
Du Shi came back to her senses and cleared her throat, "Ahem~, second brother and sister, don't be anxious. When you give birth, maybe my mother will agree as soon as she is happy."
Listening to Du's comfort, Li's eyes lit up.
"Yes, why didn't I think of that? My sister-in-law is smart. You are right. When I give birth, I will ask for my mother again, and she will definitely agree... Maybe more than ten years later, I will also be called "Mother"
Talented lady, I get excited just thinking about it."
Du Shi watched her fall into her own fantasy, trembling her lips speechlessly.
The more she behaves like this, the faster her mother-in-law will probably run. Ever since her fifth brother passed the examination as a scholar, she has believed that in addition to hard work, one must also have talent to study. Otherwise, even if you work hard all your life, it may not be useful.
Bai Anbang was like this, and so was the man in her family who didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
Thinking of Bai Anchen, Mrs. Du was dazed for a moment. Looking at the patter of raindrops in the yard, her eyes returned to calmness.
She lowered her head and pulled out the embroidery thread in the sewing basket, and began to make clothes for her daughter to wear in autumn, a pink jacket skirt.
She planned to embroider some pink impatiens flowers for the girl. They were not obtrusive and looked delicate and tender. Just thinking about them made them look good.
Sometimes, when she couldn't sleep at night, she would look at her daughter's sleeping face and feel very envious. She envied that she had a good grandma to protect her, and she was the best in the village, apart from food and clothing, and her ability to read and write.
Other girls are either at home looking after their younger siblings, doing laundry and cooking, or working in the fields.
Only her Yaya, wearing new clothes and a neat bun, was sitting on a small desk reading and practicing calligraphy.
In just a few years of growth, my daughter has changed visibly to the naked eye. She can't describe her temperament, but she looks more and more like her mother-in-law.
She was obviously the mother-in-law, but when the two of them stood together, she always felt unsure of herself, as if she was not the one who gave birth to this girl.
She knew in her heart that Yaya could grow up like this because of her mother-in-law. It was her good teaching that made her daughter so outstanding.
When they went to town a few days ago, they had just bought some horseshoe cakes and turned to leave. Behind them, the shopkeeper heard the sigh, saying that Yaya's manners were really good, but she was a pampered noble girl from someone unknown.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone next to him echoed, saying that girls raised by rich families are always tucked up and hidden for fear of being bumped into. Or they don't go out all year round, and even when they go out, they are always accompanied by their old ladies to avoid being frightened.
Hearing this, she subconsciously looked down at her clothes, which were 80% new. When she went out, she specially combed her hair, tied it into a bun, and had a silver hairpin stuck in it. Why did she look like an old woman?
Looking at my daughter again, because she didn’t want to be too fancy when going out, she just chose a 70% new light green dress, tied up two buns, wore silk flowers made by her aunt, and a pair of silver bracelets made of lotus on her left wrist.
Nothing more.
The two of them are obviously mother and daughter, but in the eyes of others, how come they become master and servant?
At that time, Yaya also heard the discussion behind her. She turned around and was about to explain to everyone, but she grabbed her.
She knew that those people had no ill intentions, but explaining in the past would only embarrass her.
It's neither the daughter's fault nor her own fault that a mother-in-law is not as well-mannered as her daughter. It's because she has no one to teach her at the age of learning.
Her mother-in-law not only told her to take care of her parents' family and help her brother in the future, but also told her overtly and covertly that she was a loser and that no matter how well-raised she was, she would belong to someone else's family in the future. Over and over again, just these few words.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law... what are you thinking about? I call you several times and I can't even hear you?"
Mrs. Li stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her eyes. She looked at Mrs. Du looking at her in confusion.
"What's wrong?"
It was rare for Mrs. Li to see her sister-in-law like this, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth in joy.
"My sister-in-law is distracted. I want my sister-in-law to help me cut a few more clothes for the baby. I have nothing to do, so I can make a few more clothes for the baby."
Mrs. Du came back to her senses, suppressed the sourness in her heart, and glanced at Mrs. Li's belly again.
"Didn't you and my sister-in-law make several outfits together? Children grow up very fast, and it would be a waste if you don't have enough to wear. If you can't take it easy, I can help you cut it into a bigger size."
