Chapter 1217 Relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law
Mi Xiaonan thought about it carefully and nodded emphatically, "They are all very capable and have achieved excellent results in their respective positions and fields. They are my role models!"
Liu Yibang said with a smile, "Although my eldest sister-in-law is a doctor, she has also been to the battlefield. In this hail of bullets, she rushed to the front and carried people back. My second sister-in-law, as a doctor, inherited my grandfather's skills and is now a well-known traditional Chinese medicine doctor in our area. The traditional Chinese medicines she developed are very effective. As for my younger sister Liu Meilan, I won't go into details about her abilities."
"You have also achieved success in your field and are a very good teacher! You are both outstanding women, and society needs you! So it doesn't matter whether your child is a boy or a girl. As long as they are hardworking and ambitious or live a peaceful and stable life, I will love them. Please do not treat your children differently because of their gender."
Mi Xiaonan breathed a sigh of relief, "My family doesn't discriminate against girls, but we have relatives who do, so I'm worried..."
"Don't worry, as long as the child is healthy," Liu Yibang chuckled. "Sit down, let's eat and chat."
Mi Xiaonan was taken aback, then quickly smiled and said, "Then you should eat quickly, or the noodles won't taste good if they get soggy."
"Okay!" Liu Yibang sat down and began to eat his noodles.
Mi Xiaonan drank some noodle soup and smiled, "If I have a daughter in my belly, she will be a very happy daughter in the future because she will have such a good father like you who loves her."
Liu Yibang nodded, "You're a good mother too! My eldest brother's family, my second brother's family, and my sister's family all have sons. Even if they need to carry on the family line, I don't need to. There's no pressure at all."
He's easygoing. What does it matter if he has a son? What does it matter if he doesn't?
In modern society, the most important thing is to cultivate children's ability to be self-reliant, rather than relying on their families for everything.
If a son is not raised properly, he will still be a spendthrift.
After eating the noodles, Liu Yibang felt warm in his stomach. "Your cooking is really good!"
"It's nothing special, just a regular bowl of noodles," Mi Xiaonan said with a smile. "I'll make you something delicious tomorrow."
Liu Yibang refused, "No need, I'll buy breakfast tomorrow, you don't need to cook. Now that you're pregnant, my mom will probably come, and she'll bring a nanny too, then we'll both be in for a treat."
The food at the time wasn't bad; it's just that they were used to Cantonese cuisine from childhood, so they weren't used to other dishes and, deep down, preferred their hometown food.
Mi Xiaonan hesitated for a moment, "Won't this cause trouble for my mother-in-law?"
Liu Yibang chuckled, unconcerned. "How is it causing trouble? When my sister-in-law was pregnant, she asked Aunt Yu to come and help. There's absolutely no mother-in-law/daughter-in-law conflict between my sister-in-law and my mother. My mother has experience with things that can be solved with money. She feels that as the mother-in-law, she should take care of you, and if you don't accept it, it will only make her unhappy."
Mi Xiaonan sighed, "No wonder my parents said I've fallen into a lucky nest. My former classmates often chat with me online, saying they don't get along well with their in-laws... Actually, their family isn't poor, it's just that, how should I put it? They have no boundaries, no sense of propriety. It's not that my in-laws are bad, it's just that I feel uncomfortable."
Liu Yibang explained, "Actually, think about it. We sometimes argue with our own parents too! But when we argue with our own parents, we don't take it to heart. We say it and then forget about it immediately, without holding a grudge. But the relationship between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, or father-in-law and son-in-law, is different. There's always a barrier between them. Whether the words are intentional or unintentional, they will have an impact. Even if you hold back for a while, over time the accumulated anger will explode, leading to arguments and hurt feelings! In the long run, cracks will naturally appear!"
Mi Xiaonan wholeheartedly agreed, "That's true! Even teeth can bite the tongue, let alone people! Maintaining a certain distance is indeed a better way to get along."
Liu Yibang smiled and said, "So my mom can't come to take care of you, partly because of work, and partly because she wants to maintain a good relationship with her mother-in-law! But she still cares about you very much!"
Mi Xiaonan nodded, "I know! My mother-in-law often calls me to ask about my work and life! She often sends me clothes and all sorts of local specialties. Our refrigerator is always full, and there are lots of dried goods next to it! If we can't finish them, she tells me to give them away. Most of the gifts we give away are these local specialties!"
“Sometimes when I encounter problems at work, I will talk to my mother-in-law. There are some things I can’t talk to my mom about, but I can talk to my mother-in-law about them, especially work-related ones. They always come up with a new and fresh solution that makes me see things clearly.”
Mi Xiaonan particularly enjoys this mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship. She must have saved the galaxy in her past life to have such a husband and mother-in-law.
Both sisters-in-law are career women, busy with their own work and families, and have no energy to gossip among themselves.
We usually just send a text message or make a phone call to say hello, but we don't have much interaction.
My sister-in-law, Liu Meilan, is even better. Although she is clearly pampered at home, she never takes advantage of it.
She devotes most of her energy to her family and work, and also has the energy to care for other members of her family. She is truly very dedicated.
Although Liu Yibang did not call, Professor Xie called and immediately explained his arrangements.
“We originally wanted to find another nanny to come over! But Sister Yu said that Xiao Bao is old enough to start first grade soon and doesn’t need a nanny anymore! She can come over! Sister Yu is very clean, quick and efficient, cooks delicious meals, and is very attentive. Most importantly, she has experience taking care of Xiao Bao and can help you for a few more years!”
Upon hearing this, Liu Yibang immediately agreed, "Thank you, Mom! Aunt Yu did a wonderful job. You can see how well Xiaobao is growing; that's a testament to her efforts! However, the medical environment and conditions here are still not as good as back home. I plan to wait until Xiao Mi's pregnancy is stable after three months before going home to recuperate! After all, she's carrying twins, and Meilan and my second sister-in-law have both had twins before, so they have experience in this area!"
Professor Xie smiled, "That's what we're planning too! We'll pack up and head over in the next couple of days. Tell Xiaomi to be careful with her work. If she can't handle it, she shouldn't. After all, being a teacher means standing for so long, and it's not good for the child's and the adult's health!"
Liu Yibang agreed, "Okay, Mom! I'll go to school tomorrow and ask for leave for Xiaomi."
Although Mi Xiaonan felt that she was healthy, she was carrying twins after all, so she dared not be careless.
Her mother had called and told her that she would rather give up her job than have anything happen to her.
As long as she safely gives birth to both children and doesn't cause trouble in this life, she will definitely be able to grow old with Liu Yibang.
