Free Web NovelChapter 1602: Chapter 1605: Don’t Follow the Previous Generation’s Example
"When I woke up the next day, I didn’t even know what happened to me. When asked where I went, I said I went outside to sleep because his snoring was too loud. In reality, I had a surgery, and he didn’t know about it until many years later, and he was so touched at the time."
Ye Ning realized that this meant she shouldn’t complain to Mu Yeli about pain.
As a wife, she should just grit her teeth and swallow it all.
She really couldn’t do that...
Whenever she did something contributory, she would tell Mu Yeli and wait for his praise.
Even when she would sweep the floor at home, she would tell Mu Yeli, "I was really diligent just now, I swept the floor, reward me."
This kind of silent dedication... she just wasn’t that noble.
She chuckled, fiddled with her earring, and said, "This, Mom, you really have perseverance."
Sui Qinglan said, "It depends on whether you love your husband, right? Anyone can do it, it’s nothing."
At this moment, Mu Yeli returned and, seeing Ye Ning’s feet on the ground, hurriedly pulled them up.
"Why are your feet on the ground? Aren’t they cold?"
Saying so, he put her feet back on his lap...
Ye Ning felt a bit embarrassed and lifted her head slightly.
Sui Qinglan’s face darkened, looking at Mu Yeli with an expression of disappointment.
This Yeli, spoils Ye Ning too much.
It’s his indulgence that makes Ye Ning so brazen and pampered.
Sui Qinglan could only endure it, showing her displeasure while eating.
Finally, after eating, as Ye Ning went out, she turned to Mu Yeli and said, "Yeli, technically, since you’re married, I shouldn’t say anything."
Mu Yeli replied, "Mother, what do you want to say?"
Sui Qinglan said, "Women should be doted on, but not to the extent that you do. If you spoil them too much, they’ll take it for granted and won’t appreciate it."
Mu Yeli paused and said, "She is my wife. I love her. Why should she need to appreciate my kindness?"
Sui Qinglan looked at him in astonishment, "Of course, otherwise you’re spoiling her for nothing."
Mu Yeli laughed, "We’re family. Spoiling her and making her happy isn’t for nothing. It’s not like dealing with outsiders or doing business: I do something nice for you, and you have to do something nice back."
"..."

Sui Qinglan was so angry her breathing became uneven. "You can’t keep doing this. Haven’t you heard the saying about pushing boundaries until there’s no room left? Why are you so foolish?"
Mu Yeli laughed, "I don’t think so."
"Not foolish? Look at other people’s wives. None are as pampered as Ye Ning. She gets a little blister on her foot and cries to you. We’ve worn high heels all these years and have calloused feet, and we’ve never cried to anyone."
Mu Yeli said, "It was father’s fault that mother had to endure hardship. That makes me even more determined not to be like father."
"..."
That wasn’t Sui Qinglan’s point.
Mu Yeli simply looked at her, "Mother, I’m just confused. Why, when you’ve had a hard life, must your daughter-in-law also have a hard life? Shouldn’t good things be passed down and bad things serve as lessons for the next generation? So, if father didn’t dote on you enough, shouldn’t you encourage me not to follow in father’s footsteps?"
"..."
(Mwah, it’s done. I’m off to sleep now, absolutely exhausted.)
