Chapter 246: Discerning
As soon as Mrs. Zhou said this, the softest place in Lin Ajiao's heart seemed to be touched all of a sudden, her eyes flashed with tears, and she suddenly remembered the unsatisfactory things that happened after marrying into the Zhou family, such as the disrespect of the Zhou family at the beginning, as well as the unaccustomed diet, and the helplessness and sadness in her heart when Huan'er said that she wanted to celebrate her birthday.
"Mother, you are really my mother, you can say everything in my heart." Lin Ajiao squeezed Mrs. Zhou's hand and said very movingly.
Mrs. Zhou raised her hand and touched her aggrieved little face: "We are all women, all of this you have experienced, I have also experienced it more than twenty years ago, so I can understand your mood best." ”
Since Lin Ajiao married into the Zhou family for so long, except for Zhou Ming, this is the first time that someone has said such intimate words to her, and she cherishes this opportunity to talk to her mother-in-law very much, so that in order to avoid interrupting Mrs. Zhou's words, although she has a thousand words, she has not opened her mouth to express it.
Mrs. Zhou let out a long sigh and continued, "It is precisely because I have the same experience as you that I understand your current situation.
A woman like you and me who marries into a wife and does not rely on her own efforts to gain a firm foothold in her in-law's family, no matter how much her husband shelters herself, it will be useless.
The reason for this is very simple, because as a man, you can't stay at home all the time, you always have to go out to make a living and do business.
If you don't work hard and your husband is out, you will become a punching bag for your family, and no one will pity you, let alone feel sorry for you. ”
Lin Ajiao nodded, feeling that her mother-in-law was very reasonable, if she didn't have a martial arts cultivation, she would probably be bullied to death by the Zhou family's minions from the beginning, and in this case, with her temperament, even if she was wronged, she would definitely not say it to Zhou Ming.
"Since you married into our family, I have been watching from the sidelines, and I found that you are very good at handling things in ordinary times, so that the people in the family can't find fault at all." Mrs. Zhou said happily, "You must know that these subordinates in our family are not fuel-efficient lamps, especially that Laifu, if it weren't for Ming'er's discernment, maybe this old boy would still be a powerful blessing in our family."
When I first married into the Zhou family, I was in a similar situation to you, and I was also a lot of anger. ”
Looking at Mrs. Zhou's gentle and elegant appearance, Lin Ajiao really couldn't imagine that such a harmless and well-bred woman would be bullied by her subordinates when she was young.
Thinking of this, Lin Ajiao couldn't help but feel a little happy in her heart, because she was fortunate that she didn't choose to be patient in the face of grievances, otherwise the consequences would have been very miserable.
Seeing that Mrs. Zhou said so many heartfelt words to herself, Lin Ajiao was very grateful, and at the same time felt that she had learned a lot from these words, but what she didn't understand was that her mother-in-law said that she shouldn't reprimand Huan'er in front of so many people, what is the truth contained in this?
Seeing that Mrs. Zhou's words were not to the point, Lin Ajiao was a little anxious, she saw the opportunity, and hurriedly pulled the conversation back to the topic: "Mother, I have taken all the words you just said to heart, but I still don't understand very well, why did you just say that I shouldn't reprimand Huan'er?"
This little girl is what I brought from my mother's house, so reasonable, even if she makes a mistake, you and the master will definitely not blame her, and when she is fair, she is very spoiled, if you know that she is naughty, not only will she not punish her, maybe she will also mess around with her, you say that in this case, if I don't care about her, this child will have to be ruined. ”
Mrs. Zhou was immersed in a good dialogue atmosphere with her daughter-in-law, and when she suddenly heard her daughter-in-law say this, she suddenly remembered that the important words in her heart had not yet been spoken.
She sat upright, with a serious expression on her face, and then said in a low voice: "Daughter-in-law, what you said also has a certain truth.
It's just that with my years of experience, you can reprimand Huan'er, but not in front of so many people.
After all, this child was brought by you from your mother's house, and if she loses face, you lose face.
If this child is not a reasonable person and hates you from now on, won't things be difficult? Think about it, the people you bring from your own home can't have the same heart as you, if so, can you expect others to be with you?
And more importantly, our master and young master were both there at the time, and if you reprimanded Huan'er so recklessly, wouldn't it be tantamount to telling the others present that our master and young master were useless people? ”
As soon as she heard this, Lin Ajiao's head was like a thunderbolt, her head was buzzing, and it took half a day to calm down, and the reason why she was so shocked was because she suddenly understood that she had made a big mistake at the dinner table just now.
She was patronizing the conflict between Huan'er and Chunni just now, and even wanted to take this opportunity to make an example of the monkey and give a warning to the other subordinates of the Zhou family, so that they should not take themselves seriously.
In the end, she achieved these goals, but she made a bigger mistake, after all, in that case, her lord and the husband were there, and these two important figures in the family did not intervene in the dispute between the two little maids at all, and even felt that it was a trivial matter.
As a result, Lin Ajiao did not take the liberty of standing up, like a fool, and was furious, although on the surface it calmed down the contradiction between the two little maids, and did not make a bigger incident, but in essence, she offended the two male hosts in the family at once.
The reason is very simple, on that occasion, Zhou Ruhai and Zhou Zhou Ming did not open their mouths, but she stood up first and said irresponsible things, this kind of behavior itself is a manifestation of not taking the male owner of the family in his eyes, if he meets a small-minded person, this sin alone is enough for Xianggong to kick him out of the house.
After thinking about this, Lin Ajiao was scared into a cold sweat, although she knew in her heart that Zhou Ming was her father-in-law, and she had deep feelings for herself, no matter how excessive what she did, he would not be angry with herself no matter what, but her father-in-law was different.
Father-in-law was originally a scholar, usually very face-saving, in front of so many people, trampling on his majesty and dignity, although he didn't say anything at the time, maybe he already hated himself to the bone, if he didn't hurry up to find a way to solve this problem, once the relationship with his father-in-law is too stiff, not only may he not stay in the Zhou family, but may even affect the father-in-law and father-in-law's father-son relationship.
After realizing the seriousness of the problem, Lin Ajiao's face turned white with fright, she didn't have time to think too much, and directly asked her mother-in-law for help: "Mother, I really didn't mean this, when I saw Huan'er lose his temper, my heart was on fire, so I didn't hold back my anger for a while, so I stood up and talked nonsense, I didn't mean to be disrespectful to my father-in-law at all."
Your old man knows everything, you must explain it to me in front of your father-in-law, otherwise how will I behave at home in the future? ”
Seeing Lin Ajiao's scared look, Mrs. Zhou was stunned for a moment, she and Zhou Ruhai had always thought that Lin Ajiao had a martial arts cultivation and was so good, so it was impossible to put the two of them in her eyes, and now seeing her performance like this, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but sigh in her heart, thinking that this child is really good, she is so good, she is so good, and she has been wronged when she marries her own son, but after arriving at her own home, this child not only does not show the slightest unruliness, On the contrary, with such respect for his in-laws, the Zhou family has really picked up a treasure.
"Silly boy, look at the way you are scared, it's not that serious." Mrs. Zhou hurriedly comforted, "As soon as I came, your father-in-law was not so confused, knowing that you were so angry just now, and you didn't come at him, so he wasn't angry at all."
Besides, after eating, your father-in-law and I went back to the room, and I had already explained it to you in advance, so you don't have to worry about it.
I tell you these heartfelt words, I only hope that you must be more careful in the future, they are men, and if they encounter some small ups and downs outside, or make a little mistake, they will have a chance to make a comeback, but this world is not so tolerant of us women.
Even if you are cautious all the time, but when you smile, you show your teeth, you may become the laughing stock of others. ”
Lin Ajiao nodded, deeply agreed.
The more Mrs. Zhou looked at her daughter-in-law, the more she liked it, and just as she was about to teach her daughter-in-law some more experience in dealing with the world, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the house.
After a while, Chunnier ran into the house panting, and was about to speak, when she suddenly saw that Lin Ajiao was also in the house, so she hurriedly said: "Young grandma, it turns out that you are here, let me find it easily." ”
Lin Ajiao quickly stood up and asked in a bit of a panic, "Why are you in such a hurry to find me?" Is the young master awake? ”
At this time, Mrs. Zhou also opened her mouth to ask Chuniel, "What happened?" ”
In order to be afraid that Mrs. Zhou would be worried, Chun Nier hurriedly smiled and said, "Old lady, don't worry, it's not a big deal." It's just that outside the gate of our house, a group of people came just now, saying that they had something to do with our young master.
As soon as the family went inside, the old man said that he would take these people to the study, and he would receive them personally.
After they took the lead in seeing the master, they didn't know what to do, not to say that their affairs could not be handled by the master, and kept asking to see the young master, and the master asked them what was the matter, and they didn't say.
In the end, the old man had no choice, so he could only ask someone to find the young master. ”
