310 Every family Had Its Hardships (1)

“Alright, alright. The Amy Fruits are steamed. Come, everyone, come and eat!” Third Aunt carried a basket of freshly steamed Amy Fruits and said with a smile, “This year’s Amy Fruits are green in color and have a fragrant taste. They’re delicious.”

Second Aunt said, “The triangular ones are filled with pickled bamboo shoots and pickled vegetables. The squarish ones are filled with sesame seeds. The gold ingots are made of salted radishes and the wrinkled ones are made of bean paste.”

As soon as Second Aunt put down the steamer, everyone’s hands went to the stuffing they liked or the shape they liked.

The three children liked sweet things, but they only liked stuffing and not skins. They didn’t like the scent of wormwood.

Those who liked it said that the scent was very fragrant, and those who didn’t like it said that it smelled of Chinese medicine.

Gu Qingming still liked this scent. She felt that it was fragrant and had eaten two sesame fillings. She was still not satisfied, but she could not eat too much during her breastfeeding period. Otherwise, it would cause indigestion in the child.

“Mingming, the child seems hungry!” Grandpa Gu shouted. “Come over quickly!”

To judge whether the little darling had peed or was hungry, one just had to listen to her moans.

“Hey, you’re here!” Gu Qingming went to the kitchen, scooped up hot water, and washed her hands. After wiping them clean, she came to Grandpa Gu’s side and reached out to gently carry the child over. She smiled and said, “Baby, you’re hungry!”

The baby opened her eyes and stared at Gu Qingming for a moment before nodding to express her response.

The Shi family was already used to the baby’s response. There were villagers who came to the Shi family to join in the fun. They had heard that this child was easy to take care of and had never seen him before. Now that they had seen it with their own eyes, the villagers were amazed.

“Children are really getting smarter these days,” someone said. “Such a young child can actually respond to adults.”

“It’s clearly only their child who’s like this,” a villager immediately retorted. “This is the only child I’ve seen that is so smart!”

“Xiao Gu is beautiful and smart. The child she gave birth to is also beautiful and smart. I wonder what she ate during her pregnancy to nourish herself.”

“I heard that when you’re pregnant nowadays, you have to take folic acid.”

“Ah, what’s folic acid?”

“I don’t know what folic acid is. In the past, when we were pregnant, we didn’t have much to eat. It was all taro and pickled vegetables. The children we gave birth to weren’t very healthy.”

“Mine’s healthy, but he’s not that smart.”

“Indeed. Kids nowadays are all smart and mischievous. I’m so angry!” Of course, she was talking about her grandson.

“I heard that the more mischievous a child is, the smarter they are.”

“How old is my mine? He’s only two or three years old. If I don’t bring him out to play, she’ll rummage through the cabinets. I’m so angry that I’m about to die of anger.”

“So is mine. One second you’re tidying up, the next she’s pouring it out for you. It’s so infuriating and funny.”

“Every day, he would use a watercolor pen to draw on the walls, clothes, and even on his face and body. It was useless even if I shouted and scolded him every day. He just couldn’t change his behavior. After I beat him up, he said that he understood. But before I knew it, he forgot again and drew everywhere with a watercolor pen.

The painting was everywhere on the wall. It was dirty and ugly. It was really annoying. In a fit of anger, I hid the watercolor pen. My daughter-in-law scolded me. She said it was the child’s nature to write and draw everywhere with a pen. It didn’t matter if the wall was dirty. I could just have it painted again when the child was a little older.

“Hmph, she was right. How rich did she think she was? She refreshed it. Not only did she spend money, but she also refreshed it until it didn’t look good at all.”

“She said that if I don’t let the child paint, the house wouldn’t look like it has a child at all. What kind of child do I want? Certainly not the type that would draw on the wall?”

The person who said this was famous in the village for her cleanliness!

Everyone liked a clean mother-in-law.

However, every family had its own problems.

Many people said that it was good to love cleanliness. It was so comfortable to clean the house.

However, only her daughter-in-law knew about this pain.

Not only did this mother-in-law like to be clean, but she was also especially long-winded and naggy. She was also superstitious and liked to be angry. If anything went wrong, she would push the responsibility onto others. She was never in the wrong.

Her daughter-in-law really couldn’t say anything.

Her daughter-in-law wanted to earn money and let her take care of the child. However, when she was about to take care of the child, she threw the child into her daughter-in-law’s arms and left with a hoe.

Her daughter-in-law worked at home. When she was anxious, she was really angry and frustrated.

It seemed every family had its hardships.

However, others were watching. While her daughter-in-law was earning money, she had to take care of the two children and clean up the house. She even went around complaining that her daughter-in-law was lazy and had started complaining about how dirty her daughter-in-law’s room was since seven or eight in the morning. She even said that the toilet was smelly and that her clothes were not folded. She even complained about a strand of hair in the toilet.

Gu Qingming had heard from the Shi family.

She said that this mother-in-law was very talkative. Fortunately, she had an honest daughter-in-law. If it were someone more shrewish, their family would probably quarrel every day and every three days.

However, their family didn’t have millions of assets. Naturally, they needed young people to work hard. In that case, they naturally needed the help of their parents-in-law to take care of their children.

This mother-in-law did not understand the predicament. She only felt that if her daughter-in-law married into her family, it would be equivalent to selling herself to her family.

Gu Qingming did not comment on this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Every family had their own conflicts. She just treated it as a story to listen to.

Seeing that Gu Qingming was about to leave with the child, the mother-in-law suddenly said, “Little Gu, are you feeding the child yourself? Do you have milk?”

Without waiting for Gu Qingming to answer, this mother-in-law nagged unhappily, “My daughter-in-law doesn’t have milk. This milk doesn’t have any nutrition at all. Look, the two kids at home who consume her milk look thin and small.”

Grandma Shi could not bear to hear her criticize her daughter-in-law.

“Lanying, your daughter-in-law’s milk is not nutritious because she did not have nutritious food. She takes care of the child during the day and night. Look, your daughter-in-law is only in her early thirties and has already grown a head of white hair. If you walk out, people who don’t know her will think that she’s a Grandma. On the other hand, you look fatter and younger.”

Grandma Shi’s words were a little obvious.

Originally, this was someone else’s family matter, so it was not appropriate for her grandmother to say anything. However, this person was too bad at being a mother-in-law. How could she ruin her daughter-in-law’s reputation in front of Gu Qingming?

The mother-in-law’s expression changed when she heard her grandmother’s words. Then, she excused herself and left in a hurry.
