Chapter 31 31. Confidence
After drinking that day, Su Yao and Yan Shoucheng stayed behind closed doors until the second day of the new year.

There is a custom in the village that new daughters-in-law will visit relatives' homes during the first year of Chinese New Year.

Su Yao doesn't want to go out anymore, but living in this big environment, she will not be able to leave this village for several years in the future, so she still has to do the etiquette that should be done.

Carrying a basket of steamed cornmeal nests in the twelfth lunar month, Su Yao followed Yan Shoucheng and visited from house to house.

Hundreds of years ago, Xiahe Village was a big family, but after so many generations of development, many of them had five families, and now Su Yao only has relatives within the fifth family.

Yan Fusheng is the eldest in the family. He has two brothers, both of whom are in Xiahe Village.

The closest to Su Yao's house is the house of the youngest, Yan Chunsheng.

Yan Chunsheng's family has three daughters and only one son, who is two years younger than Yan Mingcheng, which is the age of his wife.

When Su Yao and two people entered the door, Yan Chunsheng's family was chatting happily with Yan Mingcheng and his wife.

For Su Yao's arrival, Yan Chunsheng's family was not particularly happy.

"Third Uncle, Third Aunt, this is my daughter-in-law Su Yao, I'll bring her here to pay you New Year's greetings and recognize her."

After Yan Shoucheng's introduction, Su Yao said hello obediently: "Hello, Third Uncle, Third Aunt."

Yan Chunsheng snorted coldly, and continued to smoke his big pipe.

Jia Huanying took the eight buns handed over by Su Yao, turned around and tossed them in the basin in the house for a while, and after filling six buns, she handed them back to Su Yao: "The others haven't gone yet. It's a gift in return, save some time and go run to other people's houses."

After blatantly chasing people away, both Su Yao and Yan Shoucheng couldn't hold back their faces.

Yan Shoucheng took the wowotou, put it in the basket, and turned his head to greet Yan Mingcheng and his wife: "Mingcheng, you are too naive. The third aunt is so busy today that she can't even take care of entertaining people. Why are you still here?" Chat, if I don't come, you won't be spared."

Yan Mingcheng is a little white who has been raised stupidly, looking at Yan Shoucheng in a daze, he really can't figure out what is the reason for his sudden temper.

Zhao Xiangling heard it, and it happened that she had no intention of staying any longer, she got up and said goodbye: "Third Aunt, look at me and Mingcheng, we are too young and inexperienced, I didn't see that you were busy and wasted your time. Second Brother The reminder is, we should go now."

When Yan Wangshan heard this, he became anxious: "Sister-in-law, you haven't told me what your sisters think, so you can't leave. My mother is not busy at home, but because she doesn't like Su Yao, she drove them away. You just sit in your seat, it has nothing to do with you."

If it is my mother-in-law who looks down on me, it is because of the problem of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law since ancient times.But Jia Huanying looked down on her and didn't even give him any face, so Su Yao couldn't easily let her go.

"Third Aunt, if you don't like me, tell me earlier, I won't come to your house directly, you're humiliating me in front of so many people, are you looking down on me? Are you looking down on Mingcheng , look down on us as a family."

Jia Huanying was annoyed that her son was not shrewd, but in the end it was her son, so she turned her head and vented her anger on Su Yao: "You don't know who you are. Do you think you can become a golden phoenix if you climb up to Shoucheng? The same goes for you, Shoucheng, you don’t know who your daughter-in-law is, and it’s bad luck if you bring her to your door during Chinese New Year.”

It was the first time that Yan Shoucheng had heard someone insult Su Yao so bluntly, and for a moment he thought far away, and took up the grievance for Su Yao: "Third Aunt, you are the elder, according to the custom, our newlyweds should come to visit , that’s why I came to your house, otherwise I wouldn’t even step on the door.”

"I, Yan Shoucheng, have self-knowledge. I am a rural child born in the countryside. I am not noble, not a level higher than Su Yao. The daughter-in-law I chose is naturally good. The purpose of visiting is to bring blessings and fortune to your family. Since you don't care about it, from now on, we will have nothing to do with each other, and we don't need to communicate anymore."

Jia Huanying didn't take it seriously: "If you don't see each other, you won't see each other. Who cares about your family."

With these words, Yan Shoucheng turned around and pulled Su Yao out.

Seeing this, Zhao Xiangling followed out.

Yan Wangchuan also put on a pair of shoes, ran out, and told Zhao Xiangling: "Sister-in-law, tell your sister, I will go to your house to find her in the next year."

Zhao Xiangling walked quickly, afraid that she had heard Yan Wangchuan's words.

After turning the corner, I dared to breathe a sigh of relief.

Along the way, Yan Shoucheng took Yan Mingcheng to talk, while Su Yao silently accompanied Zhao Xiangling.

Suppressing the disgust in her heart, Zhao Xiangling took the initiative to speak up: "Everyone in the village says you are not smart, you are played around by others, and you pretend to be smart. I think you are the real smart person."

Su Yao turned his head to look, but there was no reply.

Zhao Xiangling said to himself: "Others think that Yan Mingcheng is the most popular at home. In fact, because of this kind of indulgence, he doesn't work hard, and he doesn't know the grain. He is almost thirty. Looking for a mother. I really doubt how he can live if your mother is gone."

Su Yao knew that Yan Mingcheng was Ma Baonan, but she didn't expect it to be so serious.

Zhao Xiangling looked at the backs of the two brothers in front, and couldn't help but envy: "Others said that the second brother looked down on you and was forced by you, but I think the second brother cares about you. Just now the third aunt said that about you, you still don't like me?" If there is no reaction, the second brother will defend you, if you replace Yan Mingcheng, you will not be able to beat a fart with ten sticks, and you will complain when you go home, and then the mother-in-law will think I am not worth it, and her son will be bullied."

"Actually, it's good for your family to live in an old house. You have your own confidence, and you don't have to be ridiculed in the future."

Su Yao doesn't think so: "Confidence is not given by others, but by yourself. If you feel that Yan Mingcheng is not enough, stand up by yourself. The reason why you have no confidence now is because Yan Mingcheng is required for everything in your family. Yan Mingcheng couldn't stand on his own, and had to find his mother, which eventually brought you under control. If you work hard and can live by yourself, you don't have to look at other people's faces."

Su Yao was able to make up her mind to live in the old house alone, but she didn't want to live in the same courtyard, and had to look at other people's faces when they separated.

But not everyone in the world has such perseverance.

Zhao Xiangling smiled wryly: "In this life, being a woman is already unlucky. No matter how capable a woman is, she can't compare to a man. I don't have any big ideas. I waited for a year and a half to give birth to a child, and take good care of the child. Big. If my mother-in-law is not friendly with me, how can she not be nice to her grandson? Even for the sake of the child, she has to be more polite to me. "

Zhao Xiangling's thoughts shocked Su Yao.

Zhao Xiangling also has plans: "No matter what, she will die before me, and I will have the final say in this family."
