Hearing this, Xiao Cao was not happy. She pouted and shook Old Lady Yang's arm and started to act coquettishly: "Grandma, I actually know all these rules. If I go out, I promise to follow the rules. But at home, of course, you can do whatever you want. Why do you have to be so restrained all the time?"

"But look at what you are like at home!" Li frowned and asked seriously, "Just look at the time when we were having dinner. Look at how you looked! You are not a lady at all."

Xiao Cao pouted her lips and said coquettishly, "Oh, mother, people say that girls are most comfortable when they are at home. They can do whatever they want. When you get married in the future, you won't have such a comfortable life."

Li shook her head gently and retorted, "Who said that? Don't listen to those people's nonsense! Look at me, your mother. Even after I got married and came to my husband's house, I still lived comfortably, didn't I?" As she spoke, she reached out to hold the arm of Old Lady Yang beside her, turned her head and looked at Old Lady Yang for support, "Mother, don't you agree?"

Old Lady Yang smiled slightly, stretched out her hand and gently patted the back of Li's hand, and slowly said, "You are right. However, our family is special. There are few people in the family, and there are no disputes between sisters-in-law. It's just the two of us, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, getting along, so naturally there won't be so many bumps and quarrels."

"But look at other families, there are so many people and so many gossips! Especially when there are too many sisters-in-law, troubles will follow. Sometimes even if you just put an extra dish on the table, people will make a fuss about it and talk about it endlessly. It's strange that a family like that can live a stable and comfortable life!"

"That's right! There are only a few of us in our family, and you are at home commanding and controlling the overall situation."

"Plus, you brothers and sisters are all very well-behaved and sensible. You never cause trouble for adults, and you never make any mess. So, after I married into our Yang family, I live a much more comfortable life than when I was in my parents' home!" Li said with a smile.

At this time, Yang Dashan, who had been walking behind, heard what Li said and quickly interrupted: "Haha, your mother's words are absolutely true! Back then, even when there was a famine and everyone was hungry, our family was famous for being harmonious and peaceful in Qingshan Village, and we lived a happy life. Other families can't compare to us!"

After listening to what the two said, Old Lady Yang nodded repeatedly to show her agreement: "Well, your father is right! Sometimes, having a small family does have its advantages. At least there are fewer things to do at home, and we don't have to quarrel over trivial matters all day long."

"Unlike some families, when the population increases, troubles will follow. Today one family quarrels and bickers, and tomorrow another family makes a scene."

At this point, Old Lady Yang turned her head and looked at Da Mao, Er Mao and the other children who were following closely behind her, and said earnestly: "Da Mao, Er Mao and you little ones must remember this! When you grow up, get married, start a family and start a career, you must never forget that family members must love and support each other."

"Only when the whole family is united, thinking in the same direction and working in the same direction, can our big family be as solid as a rock and never be bullied or bullied by outsiders!"

When Da Mao, Er Mao and the others heard their grandmother's earnest words of instruction, they all stopped and said in unison, "We grandchildren will remember your teachings and will never forget them!"

"Also, these wives we carefully selected for you are all the best! You must treat them well and don't mistreat them." Old Mrs. Yang said earnestly.

"Yes, grandma." The brothers agreed in unison.

Old Lady Yang then warned: "You rascals must remember this: you must love your wife and discuss everything with her. Don't act on your own will!"

"Just look at your father and you'll know." Having said this, she turned her gaze to Yang Dashan and Li who were named. The two of them suddenly felt embarrassed and turned their heads away awkwardly.

Xiaocao'er and Damao and their brothers all covered their mouths and laughed secretly.

At this moment, Xiao Cao'er seemed to have suddenly remembered something important and asked, "Grandma, is there any news about the marriage proposal for my second brother?"

Li shook her head slightly and replied, "Not yet. On the day of the banquet, we specially asked the wife of County Magistrate Tang to go to the Gu family to get some information. I don't know if it's because it's the end of the year and everyone is busy, so we haven't received any news yet."
