Three Women in the Cage

Yang Ming was already angry because his mother and the two sisters came late, but he was not good at speaking, so he just said a few simple words of criticism and then looked unhappy!

He also listened to his wife scolding Yang's mother in person. After all, she was his mother, and being scolded by his wife like this made him feel unhappy! Although he felt that they did not do well today, he was still dissatisfied with his wife's attitude!

So he unconsciously put on a bad face, but he didn't expect his wife to accuse him to his face! He felt embarrassed and at a loss!

I could only pretend to be calm and went forward to coax her, "Don't cry, you just gave birth to a baby, you need energy to rest and recover! I don't mean to blame you, it's just that I like all the children you give birth to, no matter it's a boy or a girl, how could I look down on you? Don't think too much! After all, mom and the others are not familiar with this place, so it turned out like this. I have already talked to them outside, so don't be angry anymore! Okay? Now just lie down and have a good rest..."

Ma Mei also knew when to stop. When she heard Yang Ming was willing to soften his attitude and comfort her, she stopped complaining, turned her head gently, and lay down on the hospital bed! Her face still looked unhappy!

At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and an impatient voice came over, "Sister! What's wrong with you? I was scared to death. Are you okay?"

Ma Xin walked in in a panic, followed by an old woman dressed fashionably!

When Ma Xin started talking, the old woman had already passed Ma Xin and reached the bedside. She took Ma Mei's hand and said nervously, "Mei, what happened? Xin'er said you lost a lot of blood. I was scared. Is the child okay?"

Because of their nervousness and worry, they didn't notice that the child in the stroller had disappeared at some point! They only focused on Ma Mei!

Ma Mei looked at her mother's nervous expression and quickly comforted her, "Mom, it's okay! Look, I'm lying here fine, aren't I?"

Then he pointed to the baby carriage beside him and said with a smile, "Look, your granddaughter is doing well too!"

Following her daughter's finger, Ma's mother saw the baby sleeping soundly beside her. Immediately, she smiled and walked over, saying cheerfully, "Oh my! That's wonderful! My wonderful grandson!"

Ma Xin also walked over to watch, gently tapping the baby's nose with her hand and teasingly saying, "Oh my, little baby, I'm your aunt! Come on, call me aunt!"

Suddenly, the two of them were happily teasing the baby, and harmonious laughter could be heard from time to time!

Just when the two were having the most fun teasing each other, Yang Ming walked over gently, handed over a cup of hot water and said in a warm voice, "Mom, Xinmei, sit down and drink a cup of hot water to warm your bodies!"

Ma's mother nodded and took the cup, then sat on the chair next to her. Suddenly, she saw an old woman in simple clothes and with a vicissitudes of life, huddled in a corner, looking at this side silently!

He couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Yang Ming, who is this...?"

Yang Ming followed Ma's mother's gaze and saw Yang's mother looking at them with a submissive expression. He looked at his mother's expression, and a trace of embarrassment suddenly appeared on his face. He looked away and said, "This is my mother!"

After that, he changed the subject and said, "Are you all hungry? Let's go out for dinner together later. Do you like spicy food or light food?"

Ma's mother was a little surprised when Yang Ming introduced his mother so evasively, but she didn't show it. She just smiled faintly, walked past Yang Ming, and came to Yang's mother. She said with a smile, "Hello, in-laws! I am Ma Mei's mother. You have worked hard to take care of her! If I am being rude, please forgive me!"

Mother Yang looked at this elegant woman, who was so polite to her. She was at a loss but also a little surprised. She said politely, "It's not hard! It's all my duty! My daughter-in-law is very good. Thank you for raising such a good woman!"

Mother Yang was afraid of saying something wrong, so she just praised her daughter-in-law, because she knew that only in this way would her mother-in-law be happy. If her mother-in-law was happy, her daughter-in-law would be happy. If her daughter-in-law was happy, her son would be happy. If her son was happy, she would be happy, and then the whole family would be happy!

Ma's mother was indeed delighted, secretly thinking that this relative was quite talkative, and she couldn't help but look at her a few more times! But then she saw her shabby clothes, and suddenly she looked down on her! She always felt that such an old country woman was not worthy of being related to her! If it weren't for the fact that she was a teacher at Yangming University, she would never have wanted her daughter to marry him!

But since they were already married and had settled down here, they had said goodbye to the unbearable countryside and no longer cared about it! He started to greet Yang's mother!

As the two were chatting, Ma Mei suddenly said, "Mom, it's getting late outside. Why don't you let Yang Ming take you to dinner? We should go home as soon as possible before it gets dark so that Dad won't worry at home!"

It turned out that Ma's father was in poor health and had been recuperating at home. Because of his mobility issues, he did not come to see his daughter and granddaughter!

Therefore, Ma's mother cannot stay here for too long and must go back to take care of Ma's father before dark!

At this time, after hearing her daughter's reminder, Ma's mother finally reacted and agreed repeatedly, "That's right, that's right, I almost forgot! Look, I forget everything when I talk so much! It's just right, let's go now!"

Then he called to Yang's mother who was standing beside him, "Come on! My dear relatives, let's have a meal together! We have met each other, so we have to have a meal together! Come, let me take you to enjoy our authentic dishes! You probably haven't tasted the delicious dishes here!"

Since Yang's mother came here, she had a big meal with Ma Mei the first time she came here, but she hasn't eaten there since. Thinking of the table full of delicious dishes, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva! Although the food here is delicate and exquisite, not as generous as back home, I have to admit that the taste is indeed authentic!

Now that Ma's mother had invited her so warmly, she was very moved. She stood up naturally and followed Ma's mother happily!

Suddenly, Ma Mei's voice came over impatiently, "Mom! Don't leave! If you leave, what will happen to me? You have to stay here and help me take care of it!"

Mother Yang suddenly paused awkwardly and looked up at Yang Ming. Yang Ming didn't really want to take Mother Yang to dinner. Firstly, he didn't want to be overly enthusiastic towards his mother-in-law in front of Mother Yang, but he had to curry favor. That would have left Mother Yang cold, and ignoring her would have made him condemned by his filial piety! He really didn't like that feeling. Secondly, Mother Yang was trying to save face for him. Standing next to his mother-in-law, the stark contrast between the two would have made him feel embarrassed for his family.

The only way was to let Yang's mother stay and take her mother-in-law and sister-in-law to dinner alone. It wouldn't be too embarrassing to say some polite words and do some polite gestures during the meal!

So he agreed, "Mom, you can stay and help take care of Ma Mei! If the child cries later, the two of you can still take care of her!"

After saying hello to Ma's mother and sister-in-law, she walked out first. Ma's mother looked at Yang's mother who had stopped, and wanted to say something, but thinking that her daughter really needed someone to take care of her, she said nothing more and followed her out!
