Chapter 31 31. Confidence
Author: Yu Yu doesn’t eat fish
After drinking that day, Su Yao and Yan Shoucheng stayed at home again and did not go out until the second day of the Lunar New Year.
There is a custom in the village that a newly married daughter-in-law will visit relatives during the New Year and festivals in the first year.
Su Yao never wanted to go out again, but living in this environment and being unable to leave this village for several years to come, he still had to follow the proper etiquette.
Carrying a basket of cornmeal steamed in the twelfth lunar month, Su Yao followed Yan Shoucheng and visited from house to house.
Xiahe Village was a big family hundreds of years ago. However, after so many generations of development, many of them have moved out of the fifth server. Su Yao now only has relatives within the fifth server.
Yan Fusheng is the eldest son of the family, and he has two brothers, both of whom live in Xiahe Village.
The closest home to Su Yao's home is the home of the third youngest, Yan Chunsheng.
Yan Chunsheng's family has three daughters and only one son. He is two years younger than Yan Mingcheng, which is exactly the age of his daughter-in-law.
When Su Yao and his wife came in, Yan Chunsheng and his family were chatting happily with Yan Mingcheng and his wife.
Yan Chunsheng's family was not particularly happy about Su Yao's arrival.
"Third uncle, third aunt, this is my daughter-in-law Su Yao. I'm bringing her here to wish you a happy new year and recognize your family."
After Yan Shoucheng introduced him, Su Yao said hello obediently: "Third uncle, third aunt."
Yan Chunsheng snorted coldly and continued to smoke his big pipe.
Jia Huanying took the eight steamed buns handed over by Su Yao, turned around and poured them into the basin in the house for a while. After filling six steamed buns, she handed them back to Su Yao: "The others haven't gone yet, so this
It’s a return gift, please save some time and go visit other people’s houses.”
Su Yao and Yan Shoucheng looked a little worried as they drove people away.
Yan Shoucheng took the wowotou and put it in his backpack. He turned to greet Yan Mingcheng and his wife: "Mingcheng, you are too ignorant. Third Aunt is so busy today that she doesn't even bother to entertain people. Why are you still here?"
Nacha, if I don’t come, you won’t be able to save it either.”
Yan Mingcheng was a novice who had been raised stupid. He looked at Yan Shoucheng with a blank look on his face. He really couldn't figure out the reason for his sudden temper.
Zhao Xiangling heard it, and happened to have no intention of staying any longer. She stood up and said goodbye: "Third aunt, look at Mingcheng and I. We are too young and careless. We didn't notice that you were busy and wasted your time. Second brother
Just a reminder, it’s time for us to leave.”
Yan Wangshan became anxious when he heard this: "Sister-in-law, you haven't told me what your sisters think, so you can't leave. My mother is not busy at home, but she doesn't like Su Yao, so she drives them away.
You just sit there, it has nothing to do with you."
If his mother-in-law looked down on him, it was because of the age-old mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problem. But Jia Huanying looked down on her and didn't even give her any face. Su Yao couldn't let her go easily.
"Third Aunt, if you don't like me, tell me earlier, and I won't come to your door right away. Now you are making fun of me in front of so many people. Do you think you don't like me? You don't like Mingcheng.
, you must look down upon our whole family."
Jia Huanying was angry that her son was not smart, but he was his son after all. He turned around and vented his anger on Su Yao: "You don't know who you are. Do you think you can become a golden phoenix if you climb up to Shoucheng?
Shoucheng, you are the same. You don’t know who your wife is. It’s unlucky to bring her to your house during the Chinese New Year.”
This was the first time that Yan Shoucheng heard someone insult Su Yao so bluntly. He thought about it for a moment and took up the injustice on behalf of Su Yao: "Third Aunt, you are the elder. According to custom, we newlyweds should come to visit.
, that’s why I came to your house, otherwise I wouldn’t even step through the door.”
"I, Yan Shoucheng, am self-aware. I am just a rural child born in a rural area. I am not noble in any way. I am not one level higher than Su Yao. The daughter-in-law I chose is naturally good. The purpose of visiting your home is to bring blessings to your family and attract wealth.
Since you don't care, then from now on, we have nothing to do with each other and there is no need to interact with each other."
Jia Huanying didn't take it seriously: "If we don't interact, we won't interact. Who cares about your family?"
With these words, Yan Shoucheng turned around and pulled Su Yao out.
Zhao Xiangling saw this and followed him out.
Yan Wangchuan also put on a pair of shoes, ran out, and told Zhao Xiangling: "Sister-in-law, tell your sister, I will go to your house to find her after the new year."
Zhao Xiangling walked quickly, fearing that she would hear what Yan Wangchuan said.
After passing the corner, I dared to breathe a sigh of relief.
Along the way, Yan Shoucheng held Yan Mingcheng for a heart-to-heart talk, while Su Yao silently accompanied Zhao Xiangling.
Suppressing the disgust in his heart, Zhao Xiangling took the initiative to start a conversation: "People in the village say that you are not smart, you are fooled by others, and you are still smart. I think you are the real smart person."
Su Yao turned his head and looked, but there was no reply.
Zhao Xiangling said to herself: "Others think that Yan Mingcheng is the most popular in the family. In fact, because of this indulgence, he is not diligent in his limbs and does not distinguish between grains. He is almost 30 years old. If there is a problem, what should he do?
Looking for his mother. I really doubt how he will survive if your mother is gone."
Su Yao knew that Yan Mingcheng was a mama's boy, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.
Zhao Xiangling looked at the backs of the two brothers in front of her and couldn't help but feel envious: "Others say that second brother despises you and was forced to do so by you, but I think second brother is the one who cares about you. Third aunt just said that to you, why are you still here?"
There's no reaction, my second brother will defend you. If it were Yan Mingcheng, he wouldn't be able to beat me with ten sticks, and he would complain when he got home, and then my mother-in-law would think I was not included, and her son would be bullied as well."
"Actually, it is good for your family to live in an old house. You have your own confidence and you don't have to be ridiculed in the future."
Su Yao didn't think so: "Confidence is not given by others, but by yourself. If you feel that Yan Mingcheng is not enough, stand up for yourself. The reason why you don't have confidence now is because Yan Mingcheng has to do everything in your family, big and small.
Yan Mingcheng can't stand on his own, and he has to find his mother, which will eventually affect you. If you work hard and can live on your own, you don't have to look at other people's faces."
Su Yao could make up his mind to live in the old house alone, but he didn't want to live in the same yard and have to look at other people's faces after splitting up the house.
But not everyone in the world has such perseverance.
Zhao Xiangling smiled bitterly: "It's already bad luck to be a woman in this life. No matter how capable a woman is, she can't be as good as a man. I don't have any big ideas. I waited for a year and a half to give birth to a child and raise the child well."
If my mother-in-law is not nice to me, how can she not be nice to her grandson? Even for the sake of her children, she has to be polite to me."
Zhao Xiangling's idea shocked Su Yao.
Zhao Xiangling also had plans: "No matter what, she will die before me, and then I will not have the final say in this family."
