Chapter 221 Shame
Songheyuan.
Old Mrs. Yan sat on the footstep with no apparent emotion, holding small scissors in her hand, carefully pruning several pots of green chrysanthemums and red plums on the table. After pruning a pot, she asked Grandma to move another pot away.
.
Below, Yan Zhigao was a little restless, looking up at the old lady from time to time, feeling a little worried.
Even though he has now passed away and has risen from the fifth level to know the state, he still feels a lot of pressure when facing his silent and unsmiling old mother.
His mother was young and widowed, and in order to keep the siblings together, her temper was not very good a year ago. If she got angry, he would definitely not be able to withstand it.
Mrs. Yan didn't put down the scissors in her hand until she had trimmed several potted plants on the table. She looked at the eldest son sitting below and asked slowly: "Send the child to my yard. It's yours."
What does Lin mean?"
When Yan Zhigao saw that his mother had spoken, he felt relieved and said hurriedly: "It was Mrs. Lin who mentioned it, but my son also thought about it carefully. Usually, several children at home have to go to class and basically have no time to chat and laugh with my mother. I
I thought, it’s not boring for my mother to be alone in the yard, why not..."
Mrs. Yan intercepted the message: "Why don't you put the child in my courtyard so that I can kill time?"
Yan Zhigao smiled and nodded.
Old Mrs. Yan snorted coldly: "It is said that children are the flesh that fell from the mother's body. Your concubine is really grand. The child has not been born for a few days, but he has been rushed to my old lady."
Yan Zhigao heard the irony in his mother's words and had to defend his concubine: "She also wanted to fulfill her filial piety and thought that her mother would be bored alone..."
Mrs. Yan once again waved her hand impatiently to interrupt the eldest son: "To fulfill your filial piety? I have three beautiful daughters-in-law. Do I need a concubine to fulfill my filial piety? There are only two of us, mother and son, in the house, otherwise these words will be ignored.
When your wife and two sisters-in-law heard this, they had to spit on you."
"She showed her filial piety and sent the child here. Then when the third daughter-in-law gave birth to Wen Cheng last year, she didn't send Wen Cheng here. Wouldn't it be unfilial?"
Yan Zhigao was stunned. He really didn't expect to go to the third bedroom.
Mrs. Yan glanced sideways at her elder son: "Also, which of your eyes can tell that I'm bored?"
Yan Zhigao glanced at the bonsais in his mother's house. Each pot was well taken care of and looked full of vitality.
Obviously, my mother usually takes care of her a lot.
Just at this moment, a sudden voice sounded.
"Not boring, not boring, the old lady is not boring!"
Yan Zhigao's face froze, and he turned to look at the parrot hanging in front of the window edge.
At this time, Mrs. Yan stood up with a smile, walked towards the parrot with a plate of peeled sunflower seeds, grabbed a large handful and put it in the parrot's food plate.
Seeing the parrot, he immediately lowered his head and started pecking at it. He immediately smiled and said, "Sure enough, there are pets for every kind of master. That girl Daohua is a foodie, and you are also a foodie."
Daohua was also worried that the old lady would be bored, so she sent the parrot here early in the morning to keep the old lady entertained.
"The old lady is also a foodie! If you are a good foodie, your body will be in great shape and whatever you eat will taste delicious."
Seeing his old mother being amused by the parrot, Yan Zhigao's face became more and more embarrassed.
Mrs. Yan teased the parrot for a few times, then sat back on the pedal, took a sip of tea, and then said calmly: "I can guess a little bit about your concubine's little thoughts. Let me ask you,
Do you really think she is just doing filial piety?"
Yan Zhigao moved his lips and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything when he reached his lips.
Of course he knew something about Mrs. Lin's thoughts, but when he saw her lying weakly on the bed after giving birth and looking at him with pleading eyes, he couldn't refuse.
Mrs. Yan sneered: "How do you treat your concubine? I don't want to say more, but Zhigao, officialdom is very dangerous, but the inner house in the backyard is not necessarily very peaceful. Don't let it happen because of your selfishness.
The house is restless."
"It would be fine if Ms. Lin was a well-behaved person, but she is a big-hearted person. Not only does she want your favor, but she also covets Ms. Li's status. Don't tell me you haven't noticed this at all."<
/p>
Yan Zhigao frowned and was silent for a long time. Finally he stood up and bent down and said: "Mother, my son is wrong!"
Old Mrs. Yan stared at her eldest son: "I hope you have really realized your mistake. Everything that the Yan family has today is not only your fault. Don't let it chill people's hearts."
"Also, you have to know that the children in the family are getting older every day, and they will think more and more. If you go too far, it will only make them more and more alienated."
"They are not from the same mother, so you can't expect the children to be really close and love each other."
"This person must be in the right position. Don't let Wenbin and Yi have any thoughts that they shouldn't have."
"People are most afraid of coveting things that don't belong to them. Once they have such thoughts, they will end up harming others and themselves."
Yan Zhigao's face became serious. He had indeed thought too poorly about the affairs of the back house.
Mrs. Yan continued: "By the way, I heard that Ms. Lin was born prematurely because she reached out to push Ms. Liu first. Ms. Liu didn't do anything, so she fell to the ground by herself."
Yan Zhigao immediately wanted to defend Mrs. Lin, but Mrs. Yan didn't want to listen to him and just talked to herself.
"In the future, let's leave matters in the backyard to Mrs. Li. You are a grown man, but you still know too little about women's twists and turns. You are easily confused by their delicate appearance. You don't know how cruel some women are.
Come on, you can do anything."
"Mr. Li is gentle, courteous and thrifty. Even though she cares more about her children, she is not a cruel person. With her helping you take care of the backyard, I rest assured that you should also have some trust in her."
Yan Zhigao was silent for a moment, then leaned over and said, "My son will obey his mother's orders."
After talking for a long time, Mrs. Yan was a little tired and waved her hand: "Go down."
"Mom, please have a good rest!"
Yan Zhigao turned around and left. As soon as he stepped out of the door, he heard the old lady's voice.
"I have spent my whole life raising these four brothers and sisters. It can be said that I have been living for them. Now that they have married and established businesses one by one, I can be regarded as worthy of their dead father and the ancestors of the Yan family.
."
"It's all thanks to that girl Daohua that I can live such a strong life now. In these extra days, I also want to live as I want. Seeing that my family is getting better and better, but this troublesome thing is too much.
There are more.”
Sun Ma’s voice.
"Old lady, isn't there an eldest lady in charge of the house? Just relax and enjoy yourself."
Old lady: "Ms. Li is a kind and filial person. The troubles at home are never my concern. My food, clothing, housing and transportation are all arranged for me. However, it is my son who bothers me. I really owe them in my previous life."
of."
"It's not enough for me to raise the four of them. I also put my own child in my place. I am their wet nurse? Don't you know how hard and laborious it is to raise a child? I think all children are like Daohua.
It’s so cute, it’s because I’m living too comfortably and it’s making me uncomfortable.”
Hearing this, Yan Zhigao felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and ran away in shame.
