Tong Yifei rambled on and on with Ling Jie. She didn't even realize that she had fallen asleep. Ling Jie watched her fall asleep and didn't dare to move, afraid that she would wake up if she moved. Thus, he could only stay in bed with her. Tong Yifei slept on Ling Jie's bed while Ling Jie read a book.
Mother Ling didn't knock when she pushed the door open and came in directly. Ling Jie was a little unhappy. "Mom, knock on the door when you come in in the future. I'm not alone in this room now.”
"Before you got married, I didn't knock on the door when I came in. Now that you're married, you're still talking to me about this.”Mother Ling's tone was unfriendly as she blamed Ling Jie.
"That's not what I meant. It's just that we should be careful. I've told you this before, but you didn't listen.”Ling Jie put down the book.
"Little brat. What are you talking about? Are you looking down on your mother? Did he really forget his mother after having a wife?”Mother Ling asked a series of questions. "Do you think it's easy for me to raise you for so many years after your father died?”
Mother Ling's voice grew louder and louder, echoing back and forth in the empty and quiet room. Ling Jie's heart trembled when he heard it.
Ling Jie looked worriedly at Tong Yifei, who was smacking her lips. His expression was very flustered. He lowered his voice and said," Mom, lower your voice." Tong Yifei is asleep."
"What? Can't I talk while she's sleeping? A joke? She's my daughter-in-law. Just because she's sleeping, I can't talk?”Mother Ling was getting more and more dissatisfied.
"I didn't say you can't speak. It's just that you have to look at the situation. She's sleeping.”Ling Jie also opened his mouth. Initially, he didn't want to say anything. However, Tong Yifei was pregnant and loved to sleep. Even a mother could endure it for the sake of her child.
"Alright, don't tell me that. Hurry up and wake her up.”Mother Ling was also dissatisfied. "Which new daughter-in-law only comes back now? Where did she leave me, her mother-in-law?”As she spoke, she turned around and walked to the door. Before she closed the door, she did not forget to remind him," Hurry up and call for me. Otherwise, I'll call for you personally later."”
Ling Jie looked at the closed door and couldn't help but get angry. He looked at the sleeping Tong Yifei and couldn't bear to call out to her. However, he looked up at the door and pushed Tong Yifei helplessly.
"What are you doing?" Tong Yifei asked with her eyes closed. She was obviously still sleeping.
"You're up. Mom told us to go out.”Ling Jie said.
"You go ahead. I'm exhausted and don't want to get up.”Tong Yifei kicked hard on the bed.
"Be good, Tong Yifei. Hurry up and get up.”Ling Jie was like coaxing a child as he woke Tong Yifei up and helped her put on some clothes." Hurry up, don't be lazy."”
"Lingjie, why is your mom so annoying? She's even more of a mother than my mother." Tong Yifei closed her eyes and let Lingjie put on her clothes.
"Tong Yifei, don't say that." Ling Jie suddenly lowered his voice. "She raised me from a young age. I know how tired she is. All the things that a man does are shouldered by a weak woman. You don't know how hard it is. How she endured the gazes of others all those years. Sometimes, the most hurtful thing is not words, but the way she looks at you no matter how you don't provoke others.”
"I understand. Don't worry, I won't tell your mother.”Tong Yifei patted her chest and promised. "My mother said to endure humiliation and bear the burden. When I become a mother-in-law, I will stand out.”
"Oh my god, women are always seeking revenge.”Ling Jie laughed.
"That's right. So, you better think that I must have a daughter. It must be a daughter.”Tong Yifei continued Ling Jie's words and teased him," Come on, hurry up and get up.”Ling Jie said.
After Tong Yifei and Ling Jie left the room, they saw Mother Ling sitting in the living room. The living room was completely silent. It was as if silence was better than sound. However, this scene made Tong Yifei feel a chill, as if she had fallen into a refrigerator in the middle of summer. A chill swept over her back, making her shiver.
She stood behind Ling Jie, and Ling Jie called her Mama Ling. She heard Mother Ling's cold voice say," Have a seat.”
Ling Jie pulled Tong Yifei to sit opposite Mother Ling. He tried his best to sit next to Tong Yifei. Tong Yifei held Ling Jie's hand nervously. When she saw the look Ling Jie gave her, she called out respectfully," Mom."”
This time, Tong Yifei finally understood what it meant when the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Tong Yifei had just called out to her mother when she heard Mother Ling's reply before she calmed down. As soon as she landed on the ground, there was a sudden clap of thunder, shocking her so much that she immediately straightened her back. "Tong Yifei, right?"
"Yes, Mom." Tong Yifei raised her spiritual power and quickly answered. She didn't dare to pick a fight in front of the old lady.
"Alright, since you call me mom. That proves that you are the daughter-in-law of the Ling family.”Mother Ling said. "I don't care why you didn't go back to your own home and went back to the Tong family. I won't tell you about this and I won't pursue it. However, you know that I don't like you. I only accepted you because of the child in your stomach. Therefore, you have to behave yourself in the Ling family and don't cause trouble for me.”
"Got it." Tong Yifei said submissively. He had the demeanor of a great master. However, his heart was already itching, but he was forced to be here, and he didn't want to make things difficult for Ling Jie, so he could only endure it.
"Also, there are many rules in the Ling family. You have to pay attention to the rules of being the daughter-in-law of the Ling family. In this family, no matter what happens, you have to listen to me and Ling Jie. Don't even think about causing trouble." Mother Ling looked at Tong Yifei and said," Don't ever bring your past self to the Ling Family with me.”
"Mom, what are you talking about? Why are you telling her this?”Ling Jie stood up and shouted.
"What about me? Ling Jie, can you explain it clearly?”Mother Ling was still as steady as Mount Tai, calm and composed, looking like the Empress Dowager of Cixi. Her weathered face was firm and firm. "I can't even say no to my own daughter-in-law. Lingjie, remember this. No matter how old you are, no matter how strong your wings are, you are still my son.”
Ling Jie was discouraged and could only stand there dejectedly. Tong Yifei pulled Ling Jie to sit down. She gave him a look and said to Mother Ling," Mom. Don't worry, I understand."
"Alright then, it's fine as long as you know. I won't say anything.”Mother Ling said as she took a sip from the cup on the table. "You're responsible for the three meals a day now. I haven't cooked dinner tonight, so you can go and cook now.”
"No, Mom." Ling Jie was the first to say," Tong Yifei is pregnant. She can't see oil and smoke. It's not good for the child.”
"Why not? Sigh, Lingjie, do you know that when I was pregnant with you, I was doing the same thing? Your grandmother didn't miss out on anything.”Mother Ling said," Your wife is so delicate. She can't do this or that. Does she need me to serve her? Do you want me to find a nanny to take care of her?" She's carrying a piece of gold."
The more Ling Jie heard, the angrier he became. He had never thought that his mother was so unreasonable. In the past, he had been strict with himself. He had thought that it was just a mother's desire for her child to become successful and stand out. But now, looking at his mother, he did not think so. He respected his mother, but he also loved his wife.
When Tong Yifei's parents handed her over to him, they had a look of trust in their eyes. They hoped that he could take good care of Tong Yifei. Ling Jie thought that even if he couldn't give Tong Yifei the best, he should at least let Tong Yifei live her old life.
"You are an elder, and Tong Yifei is just a child. What's wrong with giving in to her?”Ling Jie said.
"A child?" Mother Ling shouted. "Lingjie, your mother married your father when she was seventeen and had you when she was eighteen. You were only five years old when your father died. I was only twenty-three years old when I started to take care of this family. Do I have any complaints?”
Tong Yifei couldn't bear to see Ling Jie continue arguing. She had never seen Ling Jie so angry. She was afraid that if they continued arguing, even the neighbors would come over. She held Ling Jie's hand and said to Mother Ling," Mom, I'll go cook first."”
After saying that, she jogged to the kitchen with Ling Jie. The kitchen was very small, and there was a fridge inside. The small space could only fit two people. Sometimes, they would bump into each other when they turned around.
"I'm sorry, Tong Yifei. I didn't expect this.”Ling Jie said apologetically.
"What did you say? Always saying sorry, Lingjie, I am your lover now. As the saying goes, a married chicken will follow a chicken, a married dog will follow a dog. Since I'm married to you, why are you always saying this?”Tong Yifei said that she would go to the fridge to get some groceries. The food was still considered complete, but Tong Yifei was in a dilemma.
Tong Yifei had never cooked before, and Mother Tong rarely taught her these things. Tong Yifei made things difficult for her." Lingjie, didn't you say that pregnant women can't see oil and smoke? I'll help you choose the vegetables, and you cook.”
"Fine." Ling Jie laughed and pushed Tong Yifei to the side. He rolled up his sleeves as if he was about to do something earth-shattering." Look at your dear husband."”
However, Ling Jie hadn't cooked for many years. He had spent most of his time in the company other than school. He rarely went home to eat. Most of the time, he was busy and just wanted to fill his stomach. He didn't pay much attention to it.
Ling Jie was still cooking, and Tong Yifei was laughing as she watched him from the side. Watching Ling Jie jumping around in front of the hot pot, she felt that Ling Jie was really like a child. Happiness was actually very simple.
Tong Yifei thought to herself," It's already very rare for a man to be willing to argue with his mother for you, to volunteer to cook for you when you can't cook, and to feel sorry for not having better conditions for his lover."
He must know how to cherish such a person. He must learn to cherish good things.
