Chapter 109 Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law
The solar terms don’t lie.
As soon as she left the room, Yun Xi had a real understanding of this sentence.
It was sunny at lunch time, but it suddenly became cloudy.
After Grain Rain, there will indeed be more rain.
She looked up at the gloomy sky and chatted with the system in her mind to relieve her boredom.
"After coming to the ancient world, I became more sensitive to the changes in nature. If I were in my original world, I wouldn't care about the 24 solar terms!"
"That's for sure. In your original world, there were too many things that attracted your attention. You were busy with research, travel and exploration, so you had less energy to devote to nature."
"That's right. So those things like 'watching the flowers bloom and fall in the courtyard and the clouds roll and unroll in the sky' and listening to the wind, rain and snow were all done by the ancients. Those famous lines that describe beautiful scenery and express sadness about parting and reunion were also written by the ancients. We modern people only say "wow", say goodbye when we part, and say "hi, you're fat" when we meet again."
No one knew which words amused the system. Kaiyuan laughed loudly in her mind, which was completely different from his previous performance.
Arriving at the old lady's room, Yun Xi smiled and called out, "Mom."
"Come and sit down. The weather has changed so quickly. When I asked Ruyan to call you just now, it wasn't so cloudy yet. I thought it wouldn't rain. Now it seems that I may have miscalculated."
"It doesn't matter. I'm not going out. Even if it rains, I'll just stay here with my mother."
"makes sense."
Yun Xi asked: "What do you want to see me about?"
The old lady smiled and said, "I heard from Mu Xuan at noon that Ah Yan has started to practice martial arts and enlightenment, so you can relax a little. I thought that since you don't have anything to do right now, you can just take over the household duties."
Yun Xi immediately shook her head and said shyly, "Mom, to be honest, I can't take care of the household affairs yet. I've only been here for a few days. I haven't adapted yet. Give me some time to adapt."
The old lady shook her head and said, "You take charge first. If you don't understand something, just come and ask me. You have to get started with housekeeping. If you don't practice, how can you adapt?"
Yun Xi held the old lady's arm and said coquettishly, "Mom, I don't want to take care of it now. You are taking good care of it, so just keep worrying about it. When Ah Yan grows up and gets married, you can just hand over the household affairs to your granddaughter-in-law and let me take a break."
There is no fixed mode of getting along between people. Although most daughters-in-law in this world behave well towards their mothers-in-law, and mothers-in-law usually act like elders, no one stipulates that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law must be like this, right?
Madam Mu has no daughter, and she has no biological mother. It is okay for the two of them to find a new way to get along with each other, right?
Even if the old lady is not used to it, she doesn't care. If this one doesn't work, just try another one!
"You are still young and don't understand the twists and turns here. Even if it is to be handed over to Ayan's wife in the future, it must be handed over from you. At that time, you will be the mother-in-law. If you don't take care of the household chores, be careful that your daughter-in-law will look down on you in the future."
The old lady was stunned for a second by Yun Xi's action, but then she softened her heart. This child had been without a mother since she was a child and lived with her father. Yun Zhen was just a rough man from the military camp, how could he understand the affairs of the inner house?
Moreover, although they are father and mother, there is a difference between men and women after all. I think the child is not very open when he wants to act coquettishly with his father, so he may transfer his affection to her and treat her as his own mother.
Well, she didn't have a daughter anyway, so she just raised her as her own daughter. To be honest, she also enjoyed it. At this age, it was the first time for her to enjoy a soft and tender girl acting like a spoiled child in front of her. Don't tell me, really, it tasted really good!
Yun Xi saw her reaction and knew that the old lady accepted her sudden closeness well.
She continued, "How could that be? I believe in my mother's judgment. The granddaughter-in-law you choose must be of good character and will definitely respect me as her mother-in-law. It doesn't matter whether I manage the household chores or not."
Wear it a thousand times, but flattery never wears it.
Madam Mu was indeed even happier. She reached out and tapped her forehead, smiling, "Don't think you can get away with it by saying a few nice words."
Yun Xi gently shook her arm and bargained, "Just let me hide for a while longer."
The old lady was so confused that she could only say, "Then let you hide for a few more days. You will have to get started on this sooner or later, so the sooner the better."
Yun Xi smiled happily, "I know, I know, thank you, mother."
Although the old lady agreed, she continued to nag: "I have never seen someone as lazy as you. Which daughter-in-law doesn't want to manage the household as soon as she gets married? Although it is a bit hard, it means family status and power. Did Mu Sheng tell you that our family's inner house accounts are very simple, and the family property is not much, so it is not too difficult to manage."
When Xie Qing married, Mu Sheng didn't say anything, and she didn't say anything either, and in the end, she didn't have the chance to say anything. At first, she didn't think about it, she ignored it, and didn't hide it on purpose, but later, she really had to hide it on purpose. That child is very narrow-minded and has a heavy heart.
As for Yun Xi, she also observed and adjusted her strategies. If Yun Xi was also a heavy-hearted person, she might not say it. But during this period of time, she felt that this child was carefree, but had a sincere heart, so she had to be open and honest.
When people treat her with sincerity, she cannot be insincere.
