After the female supporting character in the quick transmigration series realized her mistakes
Chapter 31: The Abandoned First Wife (31)
Zeng Min listened intently, feeling that everything her mother said made sense.
When Zeng Min got married for the first time, she didn't know how to live her life. She got married and had children in a daze. At that time, she was naive and thought that as long as she had food and drink, that would be enough. She lived according to her own feelings and never thought that something might happen along the way.
Now that I'm in my second marriage and have experienced more, I want to plan for myself, but I still don't know where to start.
She felt confident because the man had already handed over his savings and the money was in her own pocket.
She just wanted to avenge the suffering and hatred she and Anlin had endured in their previous lives, never considering that the man also had two sons.
Even if he and Wu Xinxin divorce and the child doesn't stay with him, he will definitely still have to take care of the child when the child grows up and gets married. The relationship will be complicated then. Will he be able to handle it?
So he asked Zeng's mother, "What if his two sons come back? His ex-wife wouldn't possibly bring two children with her when she remarries, would she? What man would raise someone else's sons?"
When Zeng's mother saw that she hadn't considered her own situation when she said those words, she slapped her arm and said, "What are you saying? Isn't your husband a man? Your husband can raise your son, but other men can't raise other women's sons. Of course, that's a minority."
Zeng's mother said: "As for whether his two sons will come back, let him solve it himself. It concerns his children, so don't interfere. I don't teach you to be a good stepmother to his sons, but I also don't teach you to be a bad stepmother."
"Hey, to sum it all up, I just want you to live a good life and not suffer any losses. You need to keep control of your man's salary, do your housework well, and if you want to be lazy, do it behind your man's back. When he's home, you need to be diligent. Most importantly, get pregnant as soon as possible."
Mother Zeng added, "We'll also find jobs for your two brothers in the city. As long as the three of you siblings are doing well, we, as your parents, have nothing more to ask for. There are few brothers in your generation, so you need to help and support each other."
Thinking of her two sons, Zeng's mother became worried again, sighing and saying, "Your eldest brother is already 23 and still hasn't gotten married. So many girls have been introduced to him, but he doesn't like any of them, and the girls he likes don't like him back. It's very worrying."
When Zeng Min died in her previous life, she didn't see her elder brother get married, so it must have been because their time together hadn't come yet.
"Mom, why are you in such a hurry? He probably just hasn't met the right person yet. He's already struggling to support himself, and he eats so much. You expect him to support a wife? Can he even afford it?"
Mother Zeng looked worried and distressed, her heart heavy as if weighed down by lead. Her brows were furrowed, the wrinkles on her face were deep as ravines, and her eyes revealed deep anxiety.
Looking at her mother, Zeng Min felt a pang of sorrow. She knew her mother was exhausted and heartbroken over her elder brother's marriage. She comforted her, "Mother, don't be too anxious. Your brother's time hasn't come yet. He's struggling to support himself right now, with so much to eat. How can you expect him to support a wife? Can he afford it?"
Zeng Min comforted them, saying, "Waiting a little longer isn't a bad idea. When we get to the city, I'll ask Brother Mingcheng to find them some jobs. Even temporary jobs will do. If they can find work, we'll let them go to the city and find city wives."
Zeng's mother laughed and scolded, "I don't expect you to comfort me, but don't be so picky. It's not that easy to find a job in the city. If you have to find jobs for them, I don't think he'll be able to get married before he's 30."
"Sigh, let's leave it to fate. Maybe, like you said, it's just not meant to be. Anyway, we're already getting married late, so it doesn't matter if it's a little later."
Zeng Min then said, "Mom, what life experience do you still have to teach me? Tell me everything you have to say today. I'm going to the city, and I'm not sure what to do."
Mother Zeng: "It's no use teaching you until it happens to you. Haven't I told you enough before? Did you listen? With your pretty little face, no matter how harsh the words are, they won't touch you. That's all."
Seeing that her mother had run out of things to say, Zeng Min had no choice but to ask again, "Then teach me how to make those pickled bamboo shoots, fermented black beans, fermented tofu, chili oil, Sichuan peppercorn oil, and pickled chili sauce, right? I love your cooking the most. Tell me about it and I'll write it down. Otherwise, it won't be convenient for me to come back and get it when I want to eat it after I go to the city."
When Zeng's mother heard her daughter affirm her skills, she was very happy. Her smile deepened her wrinkles: "I can also brew grain liquor, dye cloth, and weave cloth. Do you want to learn? I can also make shoes."
Zeng Min thought of the old-fashioned loom at home, and then she remembered that all the clothes she and her siblings wore were woven by their mother.
Looking back now, I still think my mother was very capable; she knew a little bit about everything. Although she wasn't an expert in any one thing, she could do them all.
Meanwhile, Zeng's mother became more and more excited as she spoke, wanting to teach her daughter everything she knew. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but nag, "When you were little, I told you to learn from me, but you wouldn't. Now that you're older, I can't even teach you in time..."
While Zeng's mother was still grumbling, Zeng Min's thought process was no longer on the same wavelength as her mother's.
She felt a little ashamed when she thought of her mother's competence; she wasn't exactly a hardworking person.
She saw her mother's hard-working life from a young age, which is why she always tries to avoid hardship. She thinks that if anyone should have to work hard, it should be her mother. She just doesn't want to work hard, so she tries to find a capable man to support her.
She didn't want to be a superwoman. If she could do everything, wouldn't that just make her overworked? Since she couldn't do anything, she didn't have to do everything.
Copying recipes from my mother was just to avoid being bored in the city, so I prepared these things.
I'll do it when I have time, and I won't do it when I don't.
It's absolutely impossible to learn how to be a virtuous wife and loving mother to a man, a hardworking mother to a son, and a kind person to one's husband's family.
We must continue to slack off to the very end; we absolutely cannot be diligent.
Cough cough, Zeng Min got a little excited thinking about this, threw down her pen and notebook, interrupting her mother's rambling: "Mom, I won't write down this recipe. If I learn it, I can't be lazy."
Hearing her shameless words, Zeng's mother ignored her interruptions and launched into a tirade, like a machine gun firing at Zeng Min. Finally, Zeng Min reluctantly picked up her pen and notebook again and continued copying the recipes her mother had given her.
"Even if you can't learn what I'm saying, you can at least do it, right? If you still can't, I'll slap you. Tell me, your father and I are hardworking people, how could we have given birth to such a lazy bum like you?"
As Zeng's mother spoke, she became increasingly angry, like a volcanic eruption that was out of control.
Seeing that her mother was really angry, Zeng Min quickly took out the money she had prepared for them from her bag.
"Mother, don't be angry. You've known me for a long time, so why get angry?"
As she spoke, she handed the money in her hand to her mother: "Hey, don't call me an ungrateful wretch. This is what my husband asked me to give you. Don't worry, he treats me very well."
Looking at the money her daughter had placed in her hand, Zeng's mother felt a little helpless. She would accept money from her daughter, but this much made her uneasy.
"Mom, it's alright. This fifty yuan was given to me by Brother Mingcheng. I also brought you some other things. Wait a moment, I'll go to the main room to get them."
Zeng Min thought of the money in the family savings account and became more generous to her parents. After all, they had raised her and she hadn't enjoyed the blessings of her daughter, who had gone to her husband's family to be treated like a slave.
Thinking about it, I feel guilty towards my parents. In this day and age, the preference for sons over daughters is common, and it's not just my family. My parents have done their best to give me everything they could, so I can't ask for too much.
It's unrealistic to expect your brothers to compete for everything and have the same things in everything.
After all, she is a married daughter, and if her parents don't have anything to do, she won't be around them often.
But the older and younger brothers are different. They have always lived with their parents. If their parents have any problems or need help, or if they have minor aches and pains, the brothers are closer to their parents and can help them in time. They are also less likely to be bullied by other families in the village.
