Chapter 550: Chapter 550: Beating into a Pig’s Head (1)_1

Looking at Mo Yan, who was outstanding in both appearance and demeanor, Wu’s mother wholeheartedly agreed, "Yan girl is truly blessed, and she will surely have no difficulties in the future."

Mo Yan didn’t know how to respond, so she pretended to be shy and kept her head down while washing the vegetables, which only caused Wu’s mother and daughter to tease her even more.

After the laughter and teasing were over, Wu’s mother’s expression turned serious, "These days, any reputable family puts great emphasis on matching social status! If a bride’s family background isn’t up to par, she will always lack confidence in her husband’s household, which can lead to being timid. If the family is easy to get along with, then it’s fine, but otherwise, she can be easily looked down upon, with anyone daring to trample on her. If she suffers any grievances, she can only bear it, and her family can do nothing even if they want to stand up for her."

"Indeed, take Mo Yongxi, for example, she’s considered to have married up. Many people in the village say she’s lucky, but whether that’s truly the case, only time will tell after she’s married," said Wu’s mother, and Mo Yan agreed with her completely.

In this era, it didn’t matter if you were a love match or not, matching social status was the first rule of marriage. Although it blocked many lovers from being together, it did, to a certain extent, ensure the stability of marriage. It was for this very reason that she had ignored Xiao Ruiyuan’s advances.

Even though Mo Yongxi was believed to bring prosperity to her husband’s family, the Fang Family would be somewhat tolerant towards her, but given her arrogant and domineering nature, she would likely become even more unbridled, especially once she discovers that her supposed rich son-in-law is actually fond of men. That would surely turn into a major scandal.

The unintentional conversation between the two touched upon the intense sense of inferiority hidden deep within Dani’s heart. She was distractedly picking through the vegetables, unknowingly tearing the leaves to shreds.

Wu’s mother had a suspicion that her daughter was hiding something from her, and some of what she’d said earlier was intended for her to hear. Seeing Dani’s condition after the conversation, the mother grew increasingly worried. Driven by her anxiety, she felt an urgent need to understand her daughter’s thoughts; she feared that neglecting to do so could lead to something unfortunate happening.

With the worry weighing on her heart, Wu’s mother decided to have a good talk before bed that night, as she couldn’t bear to watch her daughter continue down a potentially wrong path.

Everyone was busy all day long, even five-year-old Shitou was assigned to stuff firewood into the cooking pit. By the end of the day, everyone was weary and aching, too tired to chat. They each fetched some hot water for a bath, then headed to bed early.

After bathing Shitou and tucking him into bed, Wu’s mother went to the next room once he had fallen asleep.

After separating from Lao Mo’s House, Tie Tou, San Ni, and Shitou moved into the Mo Family house. Tie Tou, not wanting to take up a room by himself, brought the new quilt Mo Yan had given him and shared a room with Lizhong, which also made it convenient to consult on business matters in the evening; Dani and San Ni, the sisters, shared a room, and Wu’s mother slept next door with young Shitou.

When Wu’s mother knocked and entered, the sisters were still awake. Since San Ni was still young and there were things not suitable for her to hear, Wu’s mother sent her next door to keep an eye on Shitou, to prevent the child from rolling off the bed in his sleep and getting hurt.

Once San Ni had left, Wu’s mother closed the door tightly and asked Dani, who was making the bed, with a solemn expression, "Dani, do you have someone in your heart?"

Dani suddenly stopped, whirling to look at Wu’s mother with clear panic on her face, "No, there’s nobody, Mother. I don’t have anyone!"

Hearing this, Wu’s mother reached out and poked her forehead hard, saying with anguish, "I raised you, and you have never lied to me. Do you really think I can’t see through you?"

Dani’s face turned pale, her hands clutching the corner of the blanket tightly, and she remained silent, seemingly admitting to it.
