Chapter 2: Chapter 2: Teaching Her How to Be a Good Daughter-in-Law_1
Yet on this first day, at this time, she still hadn’t gotten up. That’s why the previous scene played out, wanting to wake her up to make breakfast. However, she ended up waking the youngest son instead.
“Ahao, we can’t spoil this daughter-in-law, she should be the one doing these kitchen duties.” Mother Yun advised earnestly, hoping her youngest son wouldn’t spoil his wife too much. Otherwise, the woman might just end up ruling over him.
She had three sons and two daughters. The eldest two sons had already married and moved out. The daughters have gotten married too. Now, the elderly couple is living with their youngest son.
Mother Yun was a virtuous woman herself. However, she couldn’t stand Meng Yunhan, who never took their youngest son seriously. If it weren’t for the village chief’s troublemaker son taking a liking to Meng Yunhan, she wouldn’t have agreed to marry their youngest son.
Because of this, Mother Yun felt a burning anger towards Meng Yunhan and wanted to make life difficult for her.
“Mom, she was very tired last night,” Yun Hao was explaining, a suspicious flush coloring his dark face.
Mother Yun knew exactly what her son was implying; after all, she had experienced it too.
After realizing that Meng Yunhan was now a part of their Yun family, and remembering it was her first time, she decided not to nag any further.
However, the meal was already prepared, and the whole family was waiting for the daughter-in-law. What a sight this was!
“Mom, I’ll go and check on her.” Before Mother Yun could lose her temper, Yun Hao immediately tried to soothe her and went to wake her up.
When her youngest son left, Mother Yun turned her complaints towards Father Yun. “Dad, this daughter-in-law doesn’t act like a new daughter-in-law at all! Who doesn’t have breakfast prepared early on their first day after the wedding? But here she is, waiting for Ahao to cook.”
Father Yun tried to comfort her, “It must be because of Xiaohao.” Xiaohao had finally gotten married, and his wife was so beautiful. He probably couldn’t control himself and ended up tiring out his new wife.
Although Mother Yun had considered this possibility, she was still discontent with Meng Yunhan’s attitude.
“I still need to teach her how to be a good daughter-in-law.”
Father Yun agreed with a smile, “Yes, yes.”
Back in the day, Mother Yun was the daughter of a shop owner. She was beautiful and well-educated, which captivated Father Yun. Because of the war, the Wang Family experienced a great ordeal, and he brought her back to their hometown. Over the years, she birthed and raised his children, and now her hair was graying.
“Shufang, you’ve worked hard all these years.”
Throughout the years, Father and Mother Yun seldom had any quarrels.
This sudden statement from Father Yun made Mother Yun feel slightly uncomfortable and slightly embarrassed. “What do you mean ‘hard’? Now that Ahao is married, our tasks are completed.”
All the while reminiscing.
Yun Hao gently opened the door, the light clearly illuminating his wife’s face.
He remembered the moment he first laid eyes on Yunhan: her gentle, willow leaf-shaped eyebrows, her round, big eyes with a teardrop mole at the corner, her cherry-like small mouth, her fair skin. He fell in love with her at first sight. He knew what it was like to be infatuated since he only came home once a year because of his military service. He never thought that she would agree to marry him in the end. He knew it was because of another man, but he was content nonetheless.
“Hanhan, Hanhan, Hanhan…” Honestly, looking at her sleeping so soundly, he really did not want to wake her up. But he had no choice; his parents were waiting in the living room. Soon, his older brother would be bringing the kids over to meet her.
