Chapter 577 The Growth between Cousins
Yao Anhong was stunned for a moment and laughed: "I envy me for having a good mother, or for having an uncontrollable father?"
"Uncle Second is not as bad as you said. Uncle Second is also a person with fame and fortune..." Although Yao Anyi did look down on Mr. Yao in the past, he had to admit that Mr. Yao was not in a position to be transferred, but there was nothing that could make people worry about in family matters.
Of course, this is not ruled out that it is Mrs. Yao's second wife's credit.
"But he doesn't know how to study. It's just that he's fist and foot skills. It's been so difficult for the old lady and Mr. Zhao to train. Outsiders don't know what the situation is, don't we know in our hearts?" Yao Anhong said, "The burden on the second room is on me. If I hadn't been good at studying, my father wouldn't have been as relaxed as he is now."
That's right? If Yao Anhong hadn't been good at studying, he would have achieved good results every time. He would be young and would have to suppress him later. Now he would probably follow the steps of Mr. Yao and Mr. Yao's third master and go to Beijing for imperial examinations.
The second wife also had Yao Anhong's existence, so everyone did not force Yao Erye to do anything.
Mr. Yao also knew himself well. After taking the exam for a martial arts scholar, he lived his own life leisurely.
Yao Anhong continued, "You are different. Although the third uncle is just a county magistrate now and his official position is not high, he has his uncle in the capital to take care of him. As long as the third uncle does not make any big mistakes, he can slowly move to the capital. Even if he can't become a high-ranking official, it will be considered a success for your third wife. The pressure on you will be less. When you envy me, there are also people envy you."
Yao Anyi asked, "Cousin will envy me, too?"
Of course, Yao Anhong cannot deny that although Mr. Yao has no ability, in Yao Anhong's heart, Mr. Yao is still very good.
Not all men can achieve great things. Perhaps the second-class man Yao is the kind of person who can live a stable life. Perhaps he did too many good things in his previous life and was destined to "enjoy happiness" in this life.
When I was young, there were old earls and old ladies. I was old and my son...
Except for Mr. Yao, who cannot achieve great achievements, he can stabilize the inner courtyard and get along with his children, which is enough to show his extraordinary qualities.
Isn’t it because Yao Anhong can study so peacefully because the second wife has never had those bad things?
Yao Anhong said: "What do you think?"
Yao Anyi is not sure.
"You, you're so inferior..." Yao Anhong sighed, "I don't know how much the impact of things on you when I was a child, but I think it's time for you to come out after all these years. Look, your father is a concubine, you have had such an experience, but did the old lady give up on you? No, the old lady has always put you and me together, get out of school together... What does this mean? It means that the old lady has placed great hope for you. Even for the old lady, you don't want to disappoint the old lady, right?"
"I never thought of disappointing the old lady," Yao Anyi said with some angrily, "It is for the old lady that I have been working hard to make myself more normal, to make myself better, and to make myself proud of the old lady. But what about the old lady? She knew that my mother had a bad relationship with the old lady, and my mother finally lived a few young and leisurely life, but she suddenly took the old lady back."
"Do you think the old lady is wrong to do this?"
"What's the right thing? Cousin, you are not me. You can't imagine what kind of life I lived when I was a child, what I saw all day... I don't like the old lady. Every time I see her, I'm scared, and I want to take revenge and let her taste the hardship I suffered back then? Every time I see her tormenting my mother, I want to do something. Do you understand that mood?"
"Do you think the return of the old lady is not a good thing for your mother? What about the third room?"
Yao Anyi was silent for a while and said, "I don't know. Everyone said that the old lady came back was a good thing for the third room, but I didn't see what was good about it... I only saw my mother crying aggrievedly, and saw the old lady tossing my mother there..."
"Where is Brother Xu, Sister Qing? Have you noticed that they are having a happy life recently?"
Yao Anyi was stunned: "I didn't pay attention."
As soon as Mrs. Yao San caught him, she cried at him. Yao Anyi didn't notice the situation of her younger brother and sister, but only noticed Mrs. Yao San's "worry".
"Have you ever thought that what you saw may be what your mother wants you to see?" Yao Anhong said, "Although I don't know what happened in the third room, think about your childhood. When I was a child, Aunt San treated you as a daughter. Is it really for you? Isn't she clear that the old lady prefers boys over girls? Every time she had conflicts with her, what situation would you be trapped in between?"
Yao Anhong even used himself as an example. Everyone said that the second wife was favored, but did he never have any conflicts with the old lady? He didn't have any worries with anyone?
But no matter when, did his mother push him and Ling Jie'er to be a shield?
No.
Yao Anhong remembers clearly that when the old lady was about to interfere in their younger generation's education, his mother almost wanted to turn against the old lady and face it directly.
"You should say you envy me because I have a good mother. No matter what happens, my mother will never let Sister Ling and me stand in front of her, nor will we stand in between her and anyone. Everything is my mother faces it myself. But if Sister Ling and Brother Yu, Brother Zhou encounter something, my mother will definitely be the first to rush forward and stand in front of all of us."
"This is why the old lady really likes my mother. My mother has many problems, but she devotes herself to her children, protects us as much as possible, and creates a safe harbor for us."
"The old lady started to dislike Aunt San, but actually started with Aunt San targeting Sister Qing..."
"You know this too, so you were very unhappy during that period. You were very glad. Fortunately, the old lady intervened and took Brother Xu and Sister Qing away. Otherwise, you would not know what happened to your younger brothers and sisters next. You hope that what happened to you will happen again to your younger brothers and sisters."
...
Yao Anhong said earnestly: "Brother Yi, you are too soft-hearted. In fact, you are clear in your heart. Since you are clear, you need to make a decision as soon as possible. If you keep making trouble, you will suffer from chaos. Next year, you will be the same as me. In addition to spending your energy on studying, you also have to start dealing with the outside world. You cannot be immersed in the backyard all the time. Then, you need to figure out who should be given the backyard? What kind of arrangement is the best choice? If there is a part of the sacrifice in this optimal choice, will you be able to make up your mind? There is no perfection in this world, and everything has a choice."
Just like his mother, he "sacrificed" the second master of Yao to become an official and made a breakthrough in the Mingtang; what he "gets" was the peace of the second wife.
