Courtyard House: A Great Musician! Red Songs Resound Worldwide

You can act all spoiled in front of your mother, and it doesn't matter if you say something unpleasant.

Mothers are usually tolerant, but it's a different story in front of mothers-in-law. If a single word is said inappropriately, it can cause a huge uproar.

If you encounter a mother-in-law who speaks her mind, you might start arguing right then and there.

There's another situation where Li and Zhao might have a major falling out over this matter.

When you encounter a scheming person, they may not say anything on the surface and may not argue with you, but they will take it to heart.

It might not matter in the short term if you constantly complain to your son in private, but it will cause conflict in the long run.

On a larger scale, it can affect the relationship between husband and wife. He hopes that his daughter will be a wise woman, not a foolish one.

"Mom, you're exaggerating a bit."

"It's not as bad as you say. I was just being affectionate in front of you."

"I would never cry in front of my mother-in-law!"

As Lou Xiao'e spoke, she grabbed a hawthorn and stuffed it into her mouth. "So sour! It's so refreshingly sour, so satisfying!"

He had been wanting to eat this hawthorn for many days, and finally he got to eat it.

Li Chaoyang was so jealous that he even asked Lou Xiao'e, "Don't you feel jealous?"

Lou Xiao'e's answer was that it wasn't sour at all; in fact, she felt it wasn't sour enough, and she wanted to drink some vinegar.

"If you eat sour things, you'll have a son; if you eat spicy things, you'll have a daughter. When I went to buy hawthorns, the salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative even asked me about them."

"Why did you buy hawthorns? Are you going to dip them in candied hawthorn berries?" I told him no.

"It's because my daughter is pregnant and wants to eat something sour," he told me with a smile.

"She's probably having a son. If that's the case, that would be wonderful!"

Lou Xiao'e never really had much of a concept of daughters and sons.

"As long as the child is healthy, that's the most important thing," he told his mother.

"Why does it have to be a son and not a daughter? What you're saying is invalid."

"Nowadays, we value science, and I really like my daughter. As the saying goes, a daughter is a mother's little cotton-padded jacket."

"Boys are too naughty and I have to worry about them. I prefer daughters!"

This child is talking nonsense again; he still wants to have a daughter.

Although the Li family has two sons, they lack a daughter and cannot have one.

I still want to have a son; if I want a daughter, I'll have to have a second child.

"Stop talking nonsense. You still need to have a son. Only a son will give you more leverage in your husband's family!"

Lou Xiao'e was speechless. He didn't quite agree with what his mother said. In his mind...

It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl, as long as they are born healthy, that's all that matters. He and Li Chaoyang had also discussed this topic.

He shared the same thoughts as her. She did like girls quite a bit. It's said that daughters are their mothers' little cotton-padded jackets and their fathers' little sweethearts.

Families with a daughter will have much more laughter and joy (abfj), while boys are different; they are just naughty and not at all considerate.

This is between him and Li Chaoyang, why bring his mother-in-law into it?

He also said that he could speak with authority at home, so there was no need to care so much, since they didn't even live together.

He and Li Chaoyang lived separately, and they bought a house in the courtyard house through their own means.

They are economically independent and don't interact much, which he thinks is fine.

Judging from her appearance, her mother-in-law is a very kind old woman who wouldn't make things difficult for her.

"These are outdated ideas. Don't they realize what era we live in? This is so sexist."

"Nowadays, we emphasize gender equality. I still love my daughter very much and am still dreaming of buying her a dress."

"I comb her hair beautifully and braid it into little pigtails every day in different ways."

"Boys won't do; they're too insensitive and don't know how to care for others!"

"Li Chaoyang, am I right? Do you prefer boys or girls?"

Lou Xiao'e asked an excellent question; he himself has said that he likes girls.

He would definitely be unhappy if he said he liked boys; his emotions are a bit unstable.

The weather is unpredictable, alternating between cloudy and sunny periods.

In situations like this, it's best to ignore him.

Don't provoke him or make him lose his temper.

His life won't be easy either; this is his mother-in-law's house. It's not his own home, where he can do whatever he wants.

He and Lou Xiao'e had an unwritten rule: they had to save face for each other in front of their families.

Let them feel that their daughter or son has the final say at home, satisfying their vanity.

"I don't care if the boy and girl are healthy and safe, that's all that matters!"

It has to be Li Chaoyang. He has high emotional intelligence and knows how to handle things. He even mentioned that as long as the child is healthy, that's all that matters.

Lou Xiao'e was very happy to tell her mother that it was exactly what he had thought.

"You heard what Li Chaoyang said, right? He and I are the same; we both like girls."

"Anything I give birth to is good, I'm overjoyed, unlike what you said."

"Only when you have a son can you speak with confidence, and his family has never made me feel bad."

“We don’t live together all the time; we live separately. Li Chaoyang and I own property.”

"I don't need to mooch off them, and I get paid, so they don't have to spend any money on me. It's so convenient!"

Lou's mother shook her head. Her daughter was still too naive, saying that this was a worry-free thing.

If only everything were as he said, that would be great. She didn't live with her mother-in-law and didn't know the intricacies of the situation.

The relationship between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is one of the most difficult relationships to manage in the world. There are no major conflicts now, but it's a completely different story once they live together.

Li Chaoyang was there, so he couldn't say anything; it wasn't like Lou Xiao'e could just say whatever she wanted.

He had reservations in his heart, knowing which words he should say and which he shouldn't.

"You're right, you two are really easy to take care of. We're so lucky to have children like you!"

"It's almost noon, I need to go cook something. Li Chaoyang, you haven't been getting enough rest these past two days."

"Go to Lou Xiao'e's room and sleep for a while. I'll call you when the food is ready!"

Lou's mother genuinely felt sorry for Li Chaoyang, mainly because he was good to her daughter.

If he hadn't treated Lou Xiao'e well, he wouldn't have treated her like this, even letting her sleep in Lou Xiao'e's room.

This shows how a smart person knows how to conduct themselves, and Li Chaoyang isn't far behind.

He was also a very considerate person and always felt that it was wrong to leave his mother-in-law to work alone in the kitchen.

He and Lou Xiao'e were in the room, but that wasn't the case, he said to Lou's mother.

"You don't need to bother here. I'll go to the restaurant and book a table, then have them bring the food over. That way, you won't have to cook lunch!"

0 ..... .......

This kid is so wasteful. There's food at home; he could just cook two dishes.

There's no need to order food at a restaurant; it costs a lot of money. We should be more careful with our money.

With the baby about to be born, the expenses come later; young people are earning a living wage.

They didn't pay much attention to spending money, but Lou's mother was different; she had also come from a poor background.

He couldn't stand seeing them spend so extravagantly, so he said to Li Chaoyang.

"No, we can't order food from the restaurant anymore, it would cost too much."

"You've already bought so much fruit and roast duck, that's enough." (The corpse)

"Why spend money on this? It's better to save it to buy more nutritional supplements for Lou Xiao'e when we get back."

"The meals at home are all ready-made, I can cook them myself. You and Lou Xiao'e wait for me in the bedroom."

"Your father will be back soon!"

Lou's mother absolutely forbade Li Chaoyang from ordering food outside, but Lou Xiao'e was quite willing.

Although it costs some money, at least "Lingwuqi" won't have to watch his mother work so hard anymore, and he quite agrees with Li Chaoyang's idea.

"Why are you making such a fuss? It won't cost too much money; Li Chaoyang can earn it himself. You don't need to worry about it."
