After Chen Songling lived at home, Yao Zhiyue was careful every day, like a hot face sticking to a cold buttocks. The most relaxing moment of the day was the hour or two when Chen Songling went downstairs for a walk.

On this day, Chen Yiming did not come back for dinner because he had a party in the evening. In the evening, Chen Songling came back from a walk outside, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Yao Zhiyue sitting on the climbing mat with Yunyun to play, and laughter filled the whole house.

Seeing Chen Songling come back, Yao Zhiyue's heart tightened, and she was a little nervous even talking to Yunyun, let alone smiling brightly and heartily. She hurriedly stood up and said to Chen Songling, "Dad, dinner is ready." ”

Chen Songling didn't answer, and when he heard his grandson's laughter, he was also happy in his heart. But as soon as he came in, the laughter of Yao Zhiyue and his grandson disappeared, as if he was a plague god, and his heart suddenly felt very uncomfortable, and his resentment towards Yao Zhiyue deepened a little.

Hongxia put the balanced meal of meat and vegetables on the table, Chen Songling picked up the chopsticks and grabbed a piece of fresh bamboo shoots, spit it out before chewing twice, put the chopsticks on the table, and said dissatisfiedly: "What is this doing!" It's lighter than boiling water, and it doesn't make people eat? ”

Hongxia came out of the kitchen, full of unconvinced, she had been cooking for so long, and the serious owner had never disliked it once. Since this bad old man came over, she either thought she didn't work hard or didn't give her wife a good face, and now she is starting to find fault again.

Hongxia slandered in her heart, but she still said politely on her face: "That's what I do." ”

Chen Songling glared at the nanny, and said angrily: "Now that I live here as a big living person, are you blind and can't see it, so you didn't consider my taste?" ”

Seeing that Hongxia dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, Yao Zhiyue was afraid that she would resign in a fit of anger, so she hurriedly handed Yunyun to Hongxia, walked to the dining table and picked up the fresh bamboo shoots, and said with a smile: "Dad, I'll stir it up again." ”

Chen Songling glared at Yao Zhiyue, and said angrily: "If you want to drive me away, say it directly, you don't have to use your woman's mind." Lao Tzu doesn't eat this set. ”

Yao Zhiyue shook her head and explained sincerely: "Dad, I never had this mind. This is something I didn't think about, I didn't take into account your tastes. I promise it won't happen again next time. ”

Yao Zhiyue re-fried fresh bamboo shoots in the kitchen and deliberately added more salt. At this time, I only heard Chen Songling's faint preaching voice from the living room, which seemed to be for Hongxia, but it was actually for her.

When Yiming's mother was as young as Yunyun, she had to take care of the children while going to work to earn money. Now this is really not as good as the generation, and it is not enough to take care of the children without going to work, and you have to hire someone again. It seems that people who have never earned money just don't know the hard work of earning money, and spending money is like throwing stones. ”

Yao Zhiyue felt a burst of anger in her heart, and the movements in her hands did not feel more violent, and gradually the anger in her heart turned into sadness, and tears fell uncontrollably.

She hurriedly wiped it clean, walked out of the kitchen with fresh bamboo shoots in her hand, and her face was already smiling again, but she didn't hear anything, and said, "Dad, how about you taste it?" ”

Chen Songling picked up the chopsticks again, but he didn't reach for the plate of fresh bamboo shoots that Yao Zhiyue had stir-fried again. In the past, he didn't pay attention to these small amounts of money at all, but now that he has returned to the pre-liberation period, he can't help but start to care about every penny of money.

Yao Zhiyue was silent about all this, she simply ate a small bowl of rice, and then took Yunyun away and let Hongxia go to eat. Seeing Chen Songling returning to his bedroom after eating, Yao Zhiyue's nerves gradually relaxed, and she walked to the balcony with Yunyun in her arms, full of grievances.

The day after Chen Yiming told her that Chen Songling was released from prison, she had been imagining a happy family. There is even a longing to re-enter the workplace without worries.

However, the reality is skinny, and Chen Songling's hostility towards her has never been diluted by the passage of time. On the contrary, he seemed to hate her more than ever.

Chen Yiming is busier than before because of the expansion of his career. He was exhausted every time he came home, and sometimes she saw him sleeping on the couch before she could say a word to him. Therefore, he suppressed himself more and more and so not to disturb him with these trivial matters at home.

In just one month, she became physically and mentally exhausted, and even felt pessimistic about the future, feeling that life was torturous every day. If it weren't for the laughter of Yunyun every day, she felt that she would not be able to survive a day.

On the weekend, Jiang Luyan made an appointment to ask Yao Zhiyue to accompany her to see the wedding dress. Yao Zhiyue finally put Yunyun to sleep, and after handing over her son to the nanny, she gave her instructions and left. She thought that Chen Songling was Yunyun's grandfather, and it was reassuring to leave her son alone.

The door of the elevator was slowly opened, and Yao Zhiyue walked out of the elevator and met Chen Songling who came back from a walk. She was startled, hurriedly lowered her head and stood aside, let Chen Songling pass by first, and said hello, "Dad, you're done walking." ”

Chen Songling hummed coldly, didn't even look at Yao Zhiyue, and quickly pressed the close button of the elevator, seemingly unwilling to stay with her for an extra second.

Yao Zhiyue watched the elevator door close, and then sighed with relief, she had worked hard to please her father-in-law, but she still couldn't get a trace of his favor.

Yao Zhiyue drove to the place where she had made an appointment with Jiang Luyan, she saw Jiang Luyan radiant, like the most delicate flower in the spring garden, she was envious, happy for her in her heart, and said: "This person who wants to be a bride is really eye-catching, amazing." ”

Jiang Luyan laughed at herself: "A bride for a day, a mother-in-law for a lifetime." She glanced Yao Zhiyue up and down, and the surprise in her eyes couldn't help but be revealed, "I haven't seen you for more than a month, why have you become listless?" ”

Yao Zhiyue touched her face and looked at Jiang Luyan in astonishment, "Is it so obvious?" ”

Jiang Luyan took Yao Zhiyue's arm, walked towards the haute couture wedding dress, and said, "Doesn't Chen Yiming's father live with you, with him taking care of your son, can't you take a breath, why is your face so bad?" ”

Yao Zhiyue sighed heavily, although it was said that every family had a scripture that was difficult to read, and those trivial matters were not worth wasting their lips and tongue repeating. However, during this time, she suppressed everything in her heart, just afraid that if she continued to hold back, even her body would have problems.

Yao Zhiyue realized that when she received a call from Jiang Luyan, asking her to accompany her to watch the wedding dress this weekend, her heart was excited, and she was even faintly looking forward to the arrival of the weekend, just because she really wanted to talk to someone.

"It would be nice if it were like that. It's just a pity that the ideal is very plump, but the reality is very skinny. My father-in-law, I was full of hostility to me from the first time I saw him, and now he is even more excessive. ”

Jiang Luyan looked at Yao Zhiyue in surprise, "When his son was at a low point in his life, if it weren't for your dual support both mentally and financially, where would he turn over so quickly, wouldn't this old man know how to be grateful?" Is it stupid to be locked up in prison? ”

Yao Zhiyue sighed again and said with a wry smile: "We didn't tell him everything that happened. I'm afraid that at this time, the best candidate for daughter-in-law in his mind is Zhang Ruoyi. ”

"Could it be that this is the same smell, and people who have been in prison cherish each other."

Yao Zhiyue glanced at Jiang Luyan, her face showed a slight hint of unhappiness, although she was indeed distressed by Chen Songling's hostility, but he was still Chen Yiming's father after all, and when she heard Jiang Luyan's humiliating words with a joke, she was still unhappy.

Jiang Luyan sensed Yao Zhiyue's displeasure, and then realized that her words were too much, relying on her intimate relationship with Yao Zhiyue, she forgot her sense of proportion, and hurriedly apologized: "Yueyue, I'm sorry, I didn't think about what I said just now, don't take it to heart." ”

Yao Zhiyue's eyebrows gradually relaxed, changed the topic, enlivened the atmosphere, and said, "Congratulations, you have finally achieved a positive result with Yan Zheyu." ”

Jiang Luyan tried on another wedding dress, smiled shyly, and responded: "I'll borrow your auspicious words." ”

After trying them on, under Yao Zhiyue's pertinent reference suggestions, Jiang Luyan finally decided on three sets of wedding dresses, waiting for another day to finalize one of them with Yan Zheyu.

On the way out of the wedding dressing room, Jiang Luyan thought for a while and said sincerely: "The problem between you and Chen Yiming's father has to be solved by Chen Yiming, unless you don't live together, otherwise the problem is not solved, and it will explode over time, and it will be even more troublesome at that time." ”

"We don't dare to say a word about him now, and the old man is unhappy and clamoring to move back to the old house. You said that my parents are long gone, Yiming's mother is gone, and there is such an old man left, we hope that he will live well in his old age. ”

"So you've been used to him? If you want me to say, your respect and understanding seem to him to be weak and incompetent, and he will not accept your affection, but will only feel that you are at a loss and try to make up for it. ”

Yao Zhiyue smiled bitterly and didn't speak again, she also wanted to be as cheerful as Jiang Luyan without dragging her feet, but she had too many realities to weigh.

It is said that if you have no desire, you will be strong, but as a wife and mother, it is impossible for her not to want her husband to have a successful career and prosper; It is impossible not to want your children to grow up healthy and happy; It is even more impossible not to want your family to be happy and happy.

After getting married, Yao Zhiyue gradually understood that marriage is not only because of love, but love is the fastest diluted existence in marriage. For married women, the biggest difficulty is balancing self and family, because they always can't help but favor their children and husbands.
