Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 1150 Everyone Thinks It Makes Sense
As Li Shi spoke, she circled back to the hardships she faced when she gave birth to three daughters in a row. Gu Wenxuan was not surprised; it was something he had expected.

Even his mother-in-law said that it was already rare enough that they were able to keep their third daughter. His mother had previously broken down and analyzed this statement for him and his wife.

From his mother-in-law's birth environment to the character of his husband's family after marriage, and the tragic fate of the mother and her two daughters after a woman who had no children was divorced, etc.

In his mother's words, his mother-in-law was already better than most women; there were many mothers in the world who treated their daughters like worthless objects and abused them.

It's quite remarkable that his mother-in-law, a woman of such virtue, didn't make a fortune off her beautiful eldest daughter; it's not fair to compare her to any other mother.

His mother said, "Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about herself. She thinks she loves her daughter very much, but in reality, she often can't help but prioritize her son."

Unlike his mother-in-law, she had a son first, two sons first, and then it took her several years to have this daughter.

So it's inevitable that she'll spoil her a bit, but she can't be like any other mother who's afraid her daughter will be mistreated after marrying into her husband's family and prepares a large dowry so that her son will suffer.

Even if a daughter is her own flesh and blood, a grandson is a person from another family. No matter how much dowry a daughter leaves to her grandson, the grandson will never be of the same mind as her two sons.

They rise and fall together; the grandson only cares about his father's family. Why give his daughter so much dowry? Do you think her two children can freeload at her nephew's house every day?

Unlike her own grandson, even if her grandson and granddaughter-in-law are unfilial and dare not neglect their son in his old age, if she doesn't sue them for being disobedient and unfilial, the whole clan will condemn them to death.

Nephews are different; after all, they have the word "outer" in their name. Even setting aside the law, there's no rule from ancestors or clans that says it's against human ethics for a nephew not to care for his uncle in his old age and see him off in death.

It's only natural for his mother-in-law to value her son. Even if she could keep her daughter at home and find a husband to carry on the family line, there's still the possibility of three generations returning to the ancestral home, so it's still not entirely satisfactory.

Of course, his mother would definitely speak well of his mother-in-law, otherwise there would be a perfect example right around them: his wife's master was a granddaughter who rebelled against her father's clan.

Of course, if he had replied like that back then, his mother would definitely have had something to say.

For example, if the Princess of Fu'an County has no direct brothers, no matter how powerful her father's family is, without the support of her mother's family, what's the point of keeping her father's family, which is being framed by her mother's family, etc.

In short, everyone thinks they are right and no one thinks they are wrong. If they are wrong, it is understandable.

Before Li could say anything more, Gu Wenxuan laughed and assumed that his mother-in-law had maternal love, only managing to say "indeed" with a few smiles.

If I said anything more, I would make him agree with something that went against his conscience and his own values. Since I couldn't bring myself to say it, I simply changed the subject and brought up the summer harvest.

At this moment, he didn't know whether his father-in-law was angry or not, as his mother-in-law's "reason" and his father-in-law's "reason" contradicted each other. But this good son-in-law really helped his father-in-law out of the predicament.

Thursday, Shun was annoyed that she had wanted her son-in-law to hear that the mother of her child still loved her daughter, but the mother of her child got carried away and became self-righteous.

What could he say in front of his son-in-law? That he was so poor back then that he didn't care about incense offerings at all, or that he was scolding his wife for being stupid?
None of them are appropriate.

No matter how wrong the child's mother is, it's not as bad as his own mistakes. With a mother-in-law like that, who dares to cut off my son's family line, she wouldn't be at ease unless he swore that she would be his only wife for life.

That's when he vowed that no matter whether he had a son or not, he would keep a daughter at home to find a husband. But he was too poor, and his wife didn't believe he could find a husband.

Every family that takes in a son-in-law must have some wealth; otherwise, a perfectly good young man who doesn't care about food and clothing wouldn't be willing to become a live-in son-in-law.

He didn't blame the mother. At most, he was annoyed that she couldn't keep an eye on her daughters even though they lived under the same roof every day. Not only did Er Ya die, but San Ya also narrowly escaped death. No matter how clever San Ya was, she was still just a child who wasn't even as tall as the stove at the time, and she was all alone outside watching her second sister die.

Even though his third daughter never mentions to him how her second sister is gone, he can imagine how scared she must be. Otherwise, how could anyone be so soft-hearted?

The worst part is that the mother is enjoying the good life, enjoying the great happiness of her daughter. Look how happy she is, and she even thinks she makes perfect sense.

Unfortunately, this girl is rather dim-witted, making her mother try this and that, as if she wanted to personally feed her mother all the good food and drinks.

On Thursday, Shun was multitasking with his son-in-law, chatting about the summer harvest. He could see the mother and daughter right under his nose, no, he didn't need to listen.

Seeing this, he was both amused and exasperated, thinking that his wife must have done something incredibly virtuous in her past life to have given birth to such a wonderful daughter.

After the meal.

Before Li could suggest going to the main courtyard to accompany her mother-in-law, Zhou Sishun quickly gave his wife a meaningful look as soon as her son-in-law turned around, and even pointed in the direction of the main courtyard, afraid that she wouldn't understand.

Seeing this, Li glared at him irritably, thinking to herself that she should go sit with her daughter-in-law after finishing her meal. She was waiting for her daughter-in-law to go with her.

What's the point of her going alone? If her daughter and daughter-in-law go together, the mother-in-law won't feel that her daughter is close to her. As soon as she finished eating, she immediately ran to her mother-in-law's place.

Later, she would privately chat with her mother-in-law about how her daughter, Sanya, would always say, "I wonder if my mother has eaten yet, and what she doesn't like to eat," which would be wonderful.

Why worry unnecessarily!

She's not some busybody; why is she rushing off to her in-laws' house all alone when her father-in-law isn't home?

What do you know, you're a grown man? Your daughter is already someone's daughter-in-law. What mother-in-law would be happy if her daughter-in-law's mother visited her all the time? Don't ask for anything in return.

There's something to say about an unfilial daughter-in-law. Your daughter and Tiger Girl shouldn't listen to their mother-in-law too much. Believe me, your mother-in-law is afraid that Sister-in-law Ma and I will corrupt her daughter-in-law.

Of course, despite her complaints, she wouldn't stand for it if Li Shi actually said it to her third son-in-law. She would hold it in no time.

That's right, even if she's unhappy, she acts like her husband doesn't know her place. She secretly rolled her eyes at Zhou Sishun, as if her son-in-law had caught her!
"Hehe..." Li chuckled awkwardly, not having time to call her daughter to come along. The first thing she said was that she needed to go and see if Sister-in-law Ma had arrived yet.

She spoke as if she wanted to argue with Aunt Ma about everything. Gu Wenxuan knew that his mother-in-law was always speaking without thinking and was not the kind of person who would hide something in her words.

He then told Li to slow down and asked Zhou Banxia to accompany her to the main courtyard.

As for the son?

With him around, it's perfect for the father-in-law, brother-in-law, and child to get along well.

The feelings between people have nothing to do with whether the grandson or nephew is from another family. Even if they are biological grandsons or nephews, how can there be feelings if they do not have much contact and get along?

He still hoped that his son could stand on both sides, whether it was his father's or mother's side, so that he could be relied upon by his son, Yuan Ge'er, while also being able to check and balance each other.
