"If you think about it, eat it while it's hot."

Wen Xiu looked at Zhang Laidi and couldn't wait to sit down and eat noodles, she was happy and sad to see it, and couldn't help but ask with disgust, "Since you want to eat it, why didn't you say it directly when you came back just now?" Could it be that after getting married, he didn't come back for a few years, so he had a relationship with his grandmother? ”

"How so?" Zhang Laidi was instantly embarrassed and smiled embarrassedly.

"You, look at how thin you've gotten so thin. Take advantage of this trip to stay at home for a few more days, and grandma will make up for you. Say whatever you want to eat. ”

"Uh-huh." Zhang Laidi nodded a little while eating the noodles, "Grandma's noodles still taste like this, I have tried to cook them at their house, but I don't think they are as delicious as your cooking." I think it may have a different relationship with our water and soil and theirs. ”

"Alas. You've been married for so many years, isn't that already your home, why do you still talk about their family? Wen Xiu shook her head, Zhang Laidi was embarrassed again, bowed her head and avoided the topic by drinking juice, but because she had something on her mind, she didn't even taste the unusual deliciousness of the juice, which made the worry in Wen Xiu's eyes even worse.

On the side, Gu Nuannuan, who had already opened the jewelry box, couldn't help frowning when she saw the small gemstone brooch lying inside, picked up the pin of the mandarin duck, looked at it for a while, and then said to Zhang Laidi: "Cousin Laidi, this mandarin duck pin is really good." But when did you learn how to design jewelry? ”

"I didn't learn everything, but I learned for a short period of time to understand some skin. I said that I designed this brooch, but in fact, I still exaggerated, because I didn't know the color of the other gems except for the general pattern, and I left it to the jewelry store to complete. Zhang Laidi smiled bitterly, and after finishing helplessly, she lowered her head to eat noodles, looking like she was evasive and unwilling to say more.

Wen Xiu and Gu Nuannuan glanced at each other, and Zhang Laidi, who had not finished eating the noodles, tacitly did not continue to ask, but waited until she ate the noodles and drank the juice, Wen Xiucai pulled her to the living room sofa and sat down and asked: "Looking at the pattern, you know that you have an interest and talent in this area, so why don't you continue to learn?" It stands to reason that it is not difficult to ask Lin Su to find you a school that specializes in this, even if you are asked to audit, or pay a teacher to come back and teach you at home. Isn't this also a skill? Even if you don't need to make money without it, but you can order something, and you can do something, it's better than not coming to anything at home all day long, right? ”

"Yes, even if the husband's family is rich, a woman can't completely lose herself, lose her pursuit, and it's enough to stay at home. That kind of world is too small, and after a long time, you will start to doubt your ability to survive if you are out of touch with society for too long, and then you will no longer be able to stand up in front of your cousin-in-law. ”

Listening to her cousin's meaning, Gu Nuannuan couldn't imagine that she was completely staying at home and living the life of a rich wife with nothing to do. Although it sounds like a good life, Gu Nuannuan still can't help but worry a little about her.

"It's not that I don't want to continue learning, but my mother-in-law and Lin Su are against it, thinking that I don't need to learn." Lowering her head, Zhang Laidi's eyes quietly turned red.

“.…..”

After a pause, Wen Xiu asked patiently, "Then what are you doing at home all day long?" How do Lin Su and your mother-in-law usually treat you? ”

"They're pretty good to me, aren't they?" Lowering her head, Zhang Laidi had helplessness on her face, "I'm usually at home...... I didn't do anything, I just followed my mother-in-law to go shopping, buy clothes and jewelry, do beauty, follow her to other people's houses to play cards, attend banquets, and sometimes go to auctions or something. ”

It's just that when she goes shopping, she can never have her own preferences, and she has to help carry bags and things when her mother-in-law says what to buy; When she goes to someone else's house to play cards, she can only sit behind her mother-in-law and watch her play and accompany her; When she attended the banquet, she also needed to follow her as a sidekick, and endure her mother-in-law complaining to others that she didn't know anything, except for a face, even her family background was very bad, she was not worthy of her son, and she couldn't give birth, she was at least not abused in other aspects......

She whispered: "My mother-in-law listens to her except for flattering her everywhere except for liking others; Sometimes there is no intention when speaking; I don't like that I do some things I like, but it's okay. At least they won't beat me for no reason. ”

“……”

Staring at Zhang Laidi, Wen Xiu and Gu Nuannuan both looked at her strangely, and after a long time, Gu Nuannuan smiled bitterly and shook her head: "If you don't scold, applaud?" Cousin Di, your standard of being good to you is really low. It's okay to do beauty, after all, women still need maintenance. But I remember that you don't seem to have the slightest interest in shopping, playing cards, especially playing cards, and you don't even like to stay in your room and watch TV when our family used to play cards during the Chinese New Year, right? You've changed over the years. ”

"I still don't like playing cards, it's all my mother-in-law who plays, and I sit behind her to accompany her." Zhang Laidi opened her mouth, and her head drooped lower and lower.

"What's there to do with playing cards?" Wen Xiu was also curious, staring at Zhang Laidi and asked.

"That's it, just to help hand her water, and then help her pinch her shoulder and beat her back or something." Zhang Laidi said in an almost mosquito-like voice, "My mother-in-law said that it was uncomfortable to sit for a long time when she was old. ”

"Hehe, she's when you're a daughter-in-law? She's calling you as a slave of the old society, right? Wen Xiu was simply laughed at angrily, "What age are you talking about, how can a mother-in-law beat and scold her daughter-in-law for no reason?" You didn't even resist, you were called like this, what do you think of other times? What is it like to go shopping, do beauty treatments, attend banquets, and other auctions? ”

“.…..” Silent, Zhang Laidi finally gritted her teeth and told the truth about her daily life with her mother-in-law. This really made Wen Xiu very angry, "You can't even do what you like all day long." Just following her mother-in-law as a slave, doesn't Lin Su know? He didn't say what the? ”

After speaking, Wen Xiu suddenly frowned again, and looked at Zhang Laidi suspiciously: "No, I remember that your mother-in-law is not your mother-in-law, isn't Lin Su's mother-in-law long gone?" It stands to reason that you don't need to be so obedient to your step-mother-in-law in front of her? ”

"It was Lin Su who said it, and he said that it was because my mother-in-law was not close to her, so I had to show more filial piety to her. So that my father-in-law will be happy when he sees it. "Nono's," Zhang Laidi pulled at the placket of her clothes and whispered.

"So he knows about your situation, and it can even be said that the situation you are in now is actually caused by him?" Hearing this, the anger in Wen Xiu's heart came up suddenly, and he couldn't help but say angrily on his face, "It's a shame that when I was going to marry you, he said it was so good, saying that it would be good for you, but this is the result of being good for you?" What does he mean by that? Really, when you don't have a mother's family, you can be pinched and flattened by their family casually, right? Using his wife to please a stepmother, what a loss can he do such a thing? ”

After speaking, Wen Xiu looked at Zhang Laidi with a look of disappointment that lamented his misfortune and anger: "You disappointed me too much." ”
