When Ling Jie returned home, he heard the sound of water in the toilet. He ran over to take a look and saw Tong Yifei squatting on the floor, washing clothes with her hands.
He hurriedly ran over to pick Tong Yifei up and scolded her. "Pig, you're really a pig. Why do you think I'm doing this?”Ling Jie rolled his eyes at Tong Yifei." You have no common sense. You have a child now. You can't touch cold water too much." You have to prevent catching a cold. What if you catch a cold by washing clothes like this? Moreover, when a child's brain was developing, a mother's cold would also affect the child's development.”
As Ling Jie was speaking, Mother Ling suddenly stood at the door. She was so angry that her face changed color. She called Tong Yifei over to the living room and began to scold her. "Tong Yifei, how old are you this year? Your husband is so busy that he only came home now. He's so tired, and you actually asked him to help you wash your clothes? Do you think you're a good wife?”
Tong Yifei called out," Mom."。。。。。”
"Mom." Ling Jie looked at Tong Yifei's expression, which was as if she had been drowned in salt, and stood up to defend himself. "Don't blame Tong Yifei. I saw her doing the laundry alone. There were so many of them, so I helped her wash them.”
"It's not easy for you to come back. You can rest more. I don't believe that your wife can't even do such a small thing well.”Mother Ling refused to accept her fate.
"It's not that Tong Yifei doesn't know how to." Ling Jie sat down and pulled Tong Yifei to sit down as well. "Look, isn't Tong Yifei pregnant now? She needs to rest more. She can't do too much work. After she's done washing the clothes, she still has to cook.”
"Hey, why should I cook?。。。。。”Mother Ling asked, but Ling Jie interrupted her before she could finish. "Mom. Your cooking is so delicious. I've been eating it for many years.”
Mother Ling wanted to say something but was pushed into the kitchen by Ling Jie. She heard him say," Remember to make more Twice Cooked Pork."”
Ling Jie turned to smile at Tong Yifei. "See? Don't be so obedient next time. You have to do whatever she says. Don't do what you can't do.”
Tong Yifei opened her eyes and nodded in fear. Ling Jie patted her head as usual and said," Be good. Let's go wash the clothes. We'll go eat after that."”、When she finished washing her clothes, the sun had not yet set. As it fell on the horizon, her body was still covered in a layer of red glow. A large patch of rosy clouds appeared in the sky. It was so beautiful that it looked as if it was dyed with blood. Ling Jie hung the clothes while Tong Yifei sat under a tree in the courtyard and watched the sunset. The edges of the cotton-like clouds were surrounded by dazzling halos. It seemed that her heart had become much more cheerful, as if she had not seen the sky for a long time.
She was taking a nap on the stone table when Ling Jie came over to sit with her after hanging the clothes. "Isn't this a good view of the sunset?”
"I like this little yard now. Lingjie, let's grow some flowers here in the future. We can even bring the children out at night.”Tong Yifei looked at the parasol tree in front of her. The green leaves swayed in front of her eyes. The lovely green mixed with the yellow radiance was extremely cute.
She took a deep breath of the cool wind and felt that the wind was mixed with a sweet smell.
After dinner, Tong Yifei cleaned up the dishes. After washing up, she quickly went back to her room. Ling Jie was working in front of the computer while Tong Yifei sat on the bed and read her romance novel. The two of them did their own things. Tong Yifei touched her hand with heartache. It was obviously ugly and there were many scratches on her hand. Even though Xia Tian recovered quickly, it still hurt.
She hugged her book and sat on the bed in a daze. Ling Jie sat in front of the computer and asked when he saw that she wasn't moving from the reflection in the mirror. "If you're tired, go to bed early. Don't wait for me.”
"I'm not waiting for you. I'm thinking.”Tong Yifei said.
"Yo, you're still deep in thought? It's not easy. Come and tell Brother Ling what you're discussing.”Ling Jie pulled out a chair and extended his hand to Tong Yifei.
Tong Yifei threw the book away and crawled into Ling Jie's arms to sit on his lap. Her belly was still not visible, but when she put her hand on it, she could feel the slight bulge.
"Lingjie, do you think I had a grudge against your mother in my previous life?”Tong Yifei asked as she hugged Ling Jie's neck.
"Why do you ask?" Ling Jie asked.
"Look, why do I feel like she's targeting me in everything?”Tong Yifei frowned. She really didn't understand why other pregnant women wouldn't make things difficult for their daughters-in-law. "If it was an ordinary person, they would love pregnant women very much. Why is your mother an exception? Your mother makes me climb up and down to clean every day. In the afternoon, I was dragged up to clean after a short nap. In the afternoon, she even threw a lot of clothes at me and didn't allow me to use the washing machine. I've never done so much before. After a day, I feel like my waist is no longer mine.”
"Alright, can I help you massage it later?”Ling Jie couldn't help but feel sorry for Tong Yifei, who was lying in his arms and didn't look as happy as before.
"Lingjie, I feel like I can't take it anymore. You don't know how unpleasant your mother's words are.”Tong Yifei grumbled," What right does he have to call me shady? He even said that about my parents.”
Tong Yifei's heart was filled with anger." Why do you think that? When I married you, your family didn't give us any betrothal gifts. Besides, even if I didn't ask for a wedding, your family should have changed some of the things in the house, right? Look at your house. There's nothing changed. There's not even the word 'happy' in it, let alone red. I'm just like the mistress that you brought into your house. I don't have a name or status."”
"Tong Yifei, I'm sorry. I didn't notice this.”Ling Jie said apologetically.
"What does this have to do with you? Your mother should have prepared this.”Tong Yifei said," She doesn't like me in the first place. She probably doesn't want me to marry her either. She just wants to give me a hard time.”
"You can't blame her for this." Ling Jie defended his mother.
" Why not? Then tell me, why are you blaming me?" Tong Yifei asked Ling Jie. "Why are you acting like your mother now? Lingjie, let me tell you, I really don't want to live like this anymore. Why should I? My mother doesn't usually ask me to do these things. When your mother comes, she orders me around. To put it bluntly, she treats me like an auntie. What daughter-in-law? I, Tong Yifei, don't want to endure it anymore. I said that if your mother asks me to do this again, I won't do it anymore.”
"My mother is like that. Don't just listen to her.”Ling Jie said.
"Me? Do I have the right to say that? Your family is a feudal society. Your mother is like the Empress Dowager of Cixi. Why would she listen to me?”Tong Yifei said in a huff, feeling very pleased.
"Why do you say that my mother is not human?”Ling Jie was also unhappy.
"I'm telling the truth. Tell me, what did I say wrong?”Tong Yifei could also hear the dissatisfaction in Ling Jie's tone.
"Yes, my mother is a little unreasonable, but as an elder, I think we should listen to her. You know the principle of respecting the old and loving the young. Tong Yifei, why are you so protective of your mother? Because you didn't treat my mother as your mother. If the person who spoke to you today was your mother, would you say these things to me?”Ling Jie said, suppressing his anger. He felt bad for Tong Yifei for doing all this, but he couldn't stand his mother being scolded like this.
"I didn't treat your mother as my own? You know very well whether it's me or your mother. It's been so long. Have you seen me lose my temper with your mother? It's your mother who's pointing fingers at me. You saw it yourself. This is the truth." Tong Yifei jumped down from Ling Jie's embrace and stood barefooted on the cold floor. Even though it was a summer night, the floor was still cold, and it indeed pricked the soles of Tong Yifei's feet.
"Tong Yifei, can you grow up? Don't you think you're very childish now?”Ling Jie asked as he turned his chair around to face his computer, not wanting to bother with Tong Yifei anymore.
"Yes, I was childish. I was so childish that I married you without caring about anything. Lingjie, I regret knowing you now. Tell me, if I didn't know you, would I be in another life? I would still be a student in school now. I wouldn't be so troubled by my family. I would be happily acting coquettishly in my mother's arms and be a pampered child in the family.”Tong Yifei cried as she finished speaking. After she finished speaking, she ignored Ling Jie and crawled into the blanket. She pulled the blanket over her body and covered her head. Tears flowed down her face.
This was the first time Tong Yifei had cried in a long time. She knew how hard it was to be a daughter-in-law, but she didn't know how hard it was to be a daughter-in-law. Others said that being a daughter-in-law was not that hard, but those who were lucky could be very happy. However, Tong Yifei felt that she was not that lucky, because being a daughter-in-law of the Ling Family was really too difficult. It was so difficult that he almost couldn't stand it.
She thought that Lingjie would tell her the same thing he did in the past." Be good and rub your head. It's okay."”However, Lingjie had changed. He was no longer the same as before. He would quarrel with her. Her mother, who would protect her, would not protect her anymore. In this family, she only had Lingjie to rely on. But now, Lingjie could not be relied on either. The only thing she could rely on was the child in her stomach.
Only those who were related to him by blood and flesh were worthy of trust.
