Chapter 68 Are you out of your mind?
Everyone was quite happy, except for that aunt who looked a little embarrassed.
She never expected to encounter something like this with her own sister.
In the past, no matter whose house we visited, as long as there were younger people there, everyone would say a few words like that.
Which family's younger generation doesn't listen with utmost respect?
How come when it comes to my own sister, I'm the one who's become the culprit for sowing discord between her and her mother-in-law?
She couldn't understand it; it wasn't like this before!
Then look at my younger sister...
Haha, laughing like a complete idiot while putting on a show of being nice to all his three daughters-in-law!
She'll have plenty to cry about later...
Zhong Xiaochun's mother immediately sensed the aunt's embarrassment.
Grandma Yao is now happy to see everyone ignoring her eldest sister, the eldest daughter of the Yao family's eldest aunt, since she doesn't like people anyway.
He's always giving his daughter-in-law advice behind her back on how to deal with his granddaughters-in-law; he's no good person!
Aunt Yao didn't even notice that her sister was a little embarrassed.
At this point, Zhong Xiaochun's mother was the most suitable person to step in and smooth things over.
"Xiaochun, everyone knows your mother-in-law is a good person, she has a sharp tongue but a soft heart, you all know that, that's enough."
Also, your aunt meant well; she just said it casually, so just take it as a joke.
Be nicer to your mother-in-law from now on!
Zhong Xiaochun's mother spoke eloquently.
They neither denied anything nor affirmed anything; it was just polite talk.
Yao Shula was just wondering how that aunt would take this opportunity to back down!
Instead of backing down, they took advantage of the situation and climbed up the ladder...
Upon hearing what Zhong Xiaochun's mother said, the aunt immediately moved her chair closer to Zhong Xiaochun's mother, as if she had found a kindred spirit.
"Her aunt, you're the one who knows!"
I didn't have any bad intentions! Wasn't it all so that the children could have a better life?
Which of us elders doesn't want our children to have a better life?
But not everyone is lucky enough to have such a wonderful in-law as you!
"Look, something's happened at Old Yao's house, and your family's been running around helping!" The auntie grabbed Zhong Xiaochun's mother's hand and started nagging again.
This left Zhong Xiaochun's mother speechless.
What do you mean? Do you mean this aunt didn't get a good in-law?
Who in the county doesn't know about the huge fight between this aunt and her daughter-in-law's family?
Zhong Xiaochun's mother was certain that if she said even one bad word about this aunt's in-laws, the aunt would definitely exaggerate and spread the rumors...
There was no need for me to give this woman a way out.
She should be made to lose face...
Yao Shula felt a surge of righteousness when she thought about how Zhong Xiaochun's mother had asked her to buy groceries from her in the future.
"Auntie, you can't just look at things from one side!"
My third sister-in-law's parents are good to my aunt's family; they always lend a hand whenever my aunt's family needs help.
There's a reason for that.
Why is my third sister-in-law's family so concerned? Isn't it because my aunt's family treats her well?
What people see is that the eldest aunt's family treats the third sister-in-law as one of their own.
When the parents of the third sister-in-law saw that her husband's family treated her like one of their own, and that there were more people who cared for her, they were sure they would also treat the eldest aunt's family like one of their own!
If a family member is in trouble, you should definitely lend a hand.
This is just like when you deposit money at a savings bank.
You have to keep depositing money into it to have the opportunity to withdraw money from it!
If you don't deposit your coins, how can you expect to withdraw money from the savings bank? That's impossible!
Isn't that the same principle? If you treat others well, they'll treat you well in the future!
"Third sister-in-law's family is busy running around, that's because someone in eldest aunt's family is good to her!" Yao Shula looked at the aunt with a smile.
Aunt...
Everyone in the room smiled but didn't say anything.
Yao Shula's words almost made you think, "You're not nice to that woman's daughter-in-law, so why should she be nice to you?"
The aunt looked embarrassed again...
Now no one is going to give her a way out.
This type of person is the kind who becomes overjoyed with the slightest kindness, but takes a fool's wit as a golden rule...
Fortunately, after her three daughters-in-law poured their hearts out to her, Aunt Yao finally realized what was going on.
Her sister seems a little unhappy!
"Big sister, our Qingnian is already married, your Xiaojun will be soon too!" Aunt Yao quickly changed the subject.
Once this topic was brought up, the auntie immediately started talking non-stop.
They said the future in-laws would be difficult to get along with, making demands of this and that.
My own son, on the other hand, has no opinions of his own.
She worries that after her son gets married, he will listen to his daughter-in-law in everything, and then how will she live her life?
No one in the room spoke.
Even Yao's eldest aunt looked at her sister with some disapproval.
"As long as the child is happy! If he wants to get married, then let him get married!"
You guys just pay what you're supposed to pay, and let Xiaojun pay for anything beyond what he can afford!
"That's how Qingnian is in our family!" Aunt Yao said, offering a few words of advice.
The auntie sighed.
"These days, when young people get married, every family asks for this and that!"
Your family only needed forty-eight legs for their wedding this year, right?
My son Xiaojun's girlfriend wants seventy-two legs. Look, she wants seventy-two legs; not even one less is acceptable.
"You can't say that. Wasn't the house for the wedding paid for by Xiaojun's partner's family?"
"It's normal for you to contribute seventy-two legs, at least you don't have to worry about the house!" Aunt Yao couldn't help but say.
"Well, anyway... these days young people only care about money when they get married."
The bigger the spectacle, the better!
Unlike back in our day, we would just gather a few quilts, pots and pans, make an oath in front of a portrait of a great man, and register with the government.
"These days... families with several sons are really going to suffer!" the aunt said, shaking her head.
No one responded to her.
After talking to herself for a while, she was getting bored when no one responded. But then she saw Yao Shula staring at her with bright eyes...
"This is... Shura, right!"
"How old are you this year?" The aunt's eyes lit up.
“Not even twenty!” Yao Shula said with a smile.
"Really? It's time to find someone! It's perfect to find someone now, date for two years, and then get married!"
"Come on, tell your auntie what kind of guy you're looking for! Your auntie actually has some pretty good young men here!" The auntie became even more excited.
Not even twenty, that's perfect!
The expressions of the people in the room changed, but they still didn't say anything.
Yao Shula, however, was all smiles.
"I don't have any requirements. The more capable my mother-in-law is, the more I like her!"
The people inside the house...
Aunt Yao turned her head away.
Is my older sister out of her mind?
Want to introduce Shura to someone? Doesn't she know that Shura would dare to brandish a kitchen knife at her own father?
If I really have a mother-in-law in the future, I'll be nothing in front of her...
