New ink fragrance in old times

Old Mrs. Lin sat on the couch, her eyes full of love and care, her gaze fixed on her youngest daughter, Lin Xixian, sitting opposite her.

"Xianxian, are you living well in the Zhai family? How does the boy from the Zhai family treat you?" Old Mrs. Lin asked softly, with a hint of tentativeness and expectation in her tone.

She was always worried about her youngest daughter, fearing that she would be wronged in her husband's family.

Lin Xixian had a happy smile on her face: "Mom, don't worry, I'm doing fine in the Zhai family. My husband treats me with great care, my mother-in-law is also very kind, and everyone in the family takes great care of me."

Hearing her daughter say this, Mrs. Lin's frown gradually relaxed, and a hint of relief flashed in her eyes.

"That's good, that's good. Mother was worried that you wouldn't adapt over there. After all, being married is different from being at home."

Lin Xixian lowered her head and spoke in a soft voice.

"Mom, I understand."

Mrs. Lin: "The child can be taken care of."

Lin Xixian nodded: "Apart from feeding Lele, I don't need to worry about anything else on a daily basis."

Mrs. Lin: "That's great. Taking care of a child is not an easy task. Are you used to it at night? Did Haozi help you?"

Lin Xixian smiled and said, "Mom, it was Brother Hao who coaxed Lele to sleep at night, so I slept very well."

Old Mrs. Lin looked at her daughter's smiling face and was speechless for a moment. She wanted to ask her daughter about feeding the baby at night, but seeing her daughter's appearance, she felt relieved. After all, it was a good thing that her daughter was doing well. As for other things, she would not mention them unless others said them.

Mrs. Lin nodded and changed the subject: "Your mother-in-law is good to you. You should treat her like your own mother. Pay more attention to her diet and daily life, and listen to her teachings more often. Do you understand?"

Lin Xixian knew her mother was doing this for her own good, so she said to Old Lady Lin, "Don't worry, Mom. I've taken note of everything you said."

Mrs. Lin laughed and said, "You little rascal, are you annoyed by your mother's nagging?"

Lin Xixian held Mrs. Lin's arm affectionately: "Mom, I don't have any."

Lin Xixian asked Mrs. Lin in a low voice: "Mom, did something happen at home this time? Why did you come here so suddenly?"

There was a hint of concern and nervousness in her tone, fearing that there might be some bad news at home.

Old Madam Lin touched Lin Xixian's head lovingly and said with a smile, "Silly child, we've just harvested some food, so I brought some over for you and your elder sister to try. Besides, I haven't come to see you in a while, and I wanted to see how you were doing."

Hearing this, Lin Xixian's eyes reddened slightly, and she said with emotion: "Mom, I miss you too, but I'm usually too busy to go back to see you."

Old Mrs. Lin smiled and shook her head: "Mother knows you are busy, as long as you live well, mother will be satisfied."

As she spoke, Mrs. Lin took out a purse from her bosom and handed it to Lin Xixian: "Take this, it's a little gift from mother."

Lin Xixian quickly declined, "Mom, I can't accept it. You and Dad have had a hard time, how can I take your money?"

Old Madam Lin pretended to be angry and said, "You child, why are you being so polite to me? Take it! This is a little gift from me, just accept it."

Lin Xixian continued to refuse.

Mrs. Lin: "You are newlyweds now, and your in-laws treat you well, but I want to tell you that everything is empty. Only money in your hands is real. There is still a long time to go. I hope you can think more about yourself."

A warm feeling surged in Lin Xixian's heart.

She knew that her mother said this for her own good, hoping that she could gain a foothold in her husband's family and live a stable life.

Lin Xixian looked at Old Lady Lin gratefully and said:

"Mom, I know what you mean, but I'm already grown up and can embroider to supplement the family income. Besides, my mother-in-law and Hao Ge treat me very well, so you don't have to worry about me."

Old Madam Lin patted Lin Xixian's hand and said, "Mother knows that you are a sensible and filial child. Mother also gave it to your elder sister. Just accept it and think of it as a way to ease Mother's mind, okay?"

Lin Xixian was even more moved.

She hugged Mrs. Lin tightly and said, "Thank you, mother!"

Mrs. Lin smiled and patted Lin Xixian on the back: "Silly child, why are you being so polite to me? As long as you are doing well, I will be happy."

"Sister, Haozi's wife."

Mother Zhai's voice was heard outside.
