After the female supporting character in the quick transmigration series realized her mistakes
Chapter 164 The Best Parents of That Era (7)
Shuisheng said from the side, "Don't pay attention to her. She's just too idle. You're not their biological mother. You don't need to care what they think. They should be grateful that you don't hit or scold them. What more could they want?"
Thinking about the fact that it would be the second wife's turn to cook tomorrow, Shuisheng smiled and said to Ruolan, "Arrange everything that needs to be done tomorrow, and have them get up early to start. It's too cold now, so if they do more work, you can get more rest."
Although she didn't want to meddle, Ruolan still had to make things clear.
Ruolan looked at Hefen and said calmly, "Whether she is my own child or someone else's, in our second branch of the family, your father and I have no preference for boys over girls. Boys and girls do the same work."
“You little ones have all grown up and can help with chores around the house. So what boys can do, girls can do too, and what girls can do, boys should also do.”
After speaking, Ruolan looked at the children and asked seriously, "Do you understand?"
As the two eldest children, Heping and Hefen quickly nodded, and the younger children followed suit when they saw their older siblings nodding.
Although he nodded, Heping still had some doubts. He asked softly, "My sister and the others are doing laundry. Should we go do it too?"
Looking at her eldest son, Ruolan looked away and said, "I've already said I don't discriminate against girls or girls. If girls can do it, why can't you?"
Heping wanted to argue, but seeing the look in his father's eyes, he obediently shut up.
Although the younger children didn't quite understand what their mother meant, they knew they couldn't go wrong by following the older children's lead.
Ruolan's children, the oldest of whom is only 5 years old, can't do anything. They just run around with their older siblings every day. Among the triplets, the girls Jie and Ling are responsible for taking care of their younger brother.
The youngest brother, Jie and Qiang, blinked his big eyes and stared intently at Ruolan, wanting her to hug him.
Ruolan used to take care of him the most, but now she doesn't want him to get close to her. She's afraid that if she doesn't restrain herself, Jie and Qiang won't have a chance to grow up.
In her past life, He Qiang's wife resented her mother-in-law for eating and drinking for free, and when the time came, she couldn't wait to kick her out.
In the dead of winter, in the middle of the night, Rang and Qiang kicked Ruolan out of their house, saying that Ruolan's time at their house was up, it was past midnight and it was the next day.
It was her third brother's turn to take care of his mother, so Ruolan was told to go to her third brother's house to rest. It was the middle of the night, so Ruolan had no choice but to knock on the door of the third brother's family, Jie and Rong.
Whether they didn't hear it or pretended not to, the door was never opened in the end.
Ruolan, with her dwindling self-esteem, really didn't want to be tossed around like a ball by her children, so that night she spent the night in the cowshed.
The next day, Ruolan, with the little money in her pocket, went to the city to wander alone, determined to die out there even if it meant dying.
So Ruolan just lived one day at a time, never expecting to live much longer.
Later, she discovered that she could make money by picking up trash, so she went to pick up trash again. Although there were designated areas for picking up trash, she was just a frail old woman.
Seeing her hunched back, others felt sorry for her and no one bothered to argue with her about the small gains or losses.
She wandered around for more than half a year before finally managing to rent a small single room of only a few square meters that was very close to the toilet.
The landlord took pity on Ruolan and rented the place to her cheaply. She stayed there for more than ten years until she passed away.
It was because her youngest son was so heartless that Ruolan left home in a fit of anger, so this youngest son left the deepest impression on Ruolan.
Sometimes, when Ruolan couldn't sleep at night, she would wonder how cruel her son could be to wake her up in the middle of the night and kick her out of the house.
Ruolan also wondered if her sons would worry about her, their mother, since she had been away for more than half a year.
Then I couldn't help but laugh at myself for being so foolish as to still have expectations of them.
Looking at the child in front of me, memories of my past life flashed through my mind. I thought to myself, since these children can't be taught properly, I'll try to tame them.
Anyway, she doesn't expect them to be filial in the future. As long as they are obedient, that's enough. Ruolan is content as long as her man is with her in this life.
Shuisheng chimed in from the side, "Just listen to what your mother says, don't overthink it, and definitely don't talk back. Would we, as your parents, ever harm you?"
Even if they have ideas, they have to shut them up; what Jie Shuisheng wants is for them to be obedient.
If they ask too many questions, they'll start to have ulterior motives, and then how can their parents teach them?
Anyway, I don't expect them to amount to anything in the future. I just hope they'll live a quiet and honest life. That's how every family teaches their children these days.
At this time in the previous life, the older children of the Xie family had already been in school for a year, but in this life, Xie Shuisheng didn't let them go to school, so the other children in the family didn't go either.
In their past lives, these children just studied a few more days and thought they were something special, looking down on everyone at home.
Every time Ruolan tried to educate them, they thought she was an illiterate village woman who knew nothing.
So they couldn't listen to Ruolan at all, and in the end, they didn't even understand what they were studying, but instead became ungrateful wretches.
If teachers can't teach them well, then they might as well not go to school at all.
Since Shuisheng wanted to be the bad guy, Ruolan would be the good guy and gently comfort them: "Your father is doing this for your own good. Think about it, which child in the village dares to talk back to their parents? Those who dare to talk back to their parents either get a beating or go hungry for a few meals."
Then she looked at He Fen, "And He Fen, as soon as you came in, you pointed at your father and questioned him. Do you think what you did was right?"
"Don't just listen to a few words from outsiders and think they're right. Think about it, are they genuinely good to you, or am I being bad to you?"
Heping thought to himself, "He is the eldest grandson in the family, so it is only natural to treat him well!"
"When have I ever given you the best food or clothes? Look at the little pottery in front of our house."
Heping and Hemin, who had just finished pouring out the foot bath water, exchanged a glance. Thinking of their friend Xiao Tao, Hemin felt that they had been somewhat ungrateful.
Then I heard the stepmother say, "How his stepmother treated him, and how I treated you. Even if you can't feel it, you can compare it to him."
These words were mainly directed at the three siblings, Heping and his sister. As for Ruolan's child, he couldn't understand human speech yet.
“If I really intended to treat you badly, given your father’s favoritism towards me, you wouldn’t have had a good life from the moment I married him. Would you still have such thick and clean clothes to wear?”
Heping looked down at his clothes, which were clean and tidy despite the patches, and his earlier resentment gradually softened.
