Rebirth of a Farming Wife Chapter 112 – Extremely Overbearing

Chapter 112: Chapter 112: Extremely Overbearing

“Why are you staring at me like that? It’s really scary! I didn’t ignore what you said, it’s just that there’s this little bit left, and I thought I might as well finish it.” Su Wenyue looked at Han Yu with an appeasing smile, her face the picture of obedience, where was there any sign of the impatience from before? She knew very well how to read the situation—Su Wenyue knew Han Yu’s temperament all too well. Han Yu must be angry now, and if she were to keep being stubborn, the consequences would be nothing short of terrible.

Upon seeing that his daughter-in-law’s attitude was not bad, Han Yu’s expression softened a bit, but he didn’t forget to lecture, “How many times have you said that before? If it’s not ‘just a little bit left here,’ then it’s ‘just one petal that hasn’t been embroidered there.’ Work is never done. If you ruin your eyes, it’s not worth it. Next time I see you doing this, you will not be allowed to embroider any longer.”

Han Yu knew what kind of person his daughter-in-law was. Speaking nicely wouldn’t prevent her from intentionally repeating the offense, so he had to issue an ultimatum to let her know where his limits were.

“I understand, I won’t do it anymore.” Su Wenyue pouted, knowing that Han Yu was somewhat of a chauvinist, often overbearing, and she had no room to resist.

Han Yu sighed, seeing his daughter-in-law’s pout; she clearly disagreed but had already made the threats, so he softened his voice, “Lady Yue, whatever you like to do, whatever makes you happy, I won’t oppose it, but there has to be a limit. Otherwise, it’s not worth ruining your health over. Besides, we are both young, there is plenty of time to do what you want, no need to rush.”

Su Wenyue didn’t tell Han Yu her plan to earn money by selling embroidery, so Han Yu always thought Su Wenyue was devoted to embroidery just out of love for it. Had he known she was embroidering so hard purely to make money, he would likely have been even more reluctant to let her and would have felt guilty. Su Wenyue considered this and decided not to tell Han Yu, intending to reveal it when there was no other choice.

Su Wenyue was initially somewhat dissatisfied with Han Yu’s chauvinism, but after hearing his explanation, she felt much more at ease. After all, Han Yu cared about her health. Compared to her previous life, when Han Yu would only scold her when angry and otherwise ignored her, these somewhat chauvinistic lessons felt warm to the heart.

“Husband, I know you mean well for me. I won’t do it anymore, rest assured! Speaking of which, I am actually a little tired. Husband, could you give me a shoulder rub, please?” Su Wenyue spoke sweetly, leaning into Han Yu’s embrace like a spoiled cat. Han Yu’s heart filled with affection, resignedly starting to rub Su Wenyue’s shoulders.

Enjoying herself, Su Wenyue’s lips curved into a scheming smile. Han Yu’s massage skills had indeed improved under her guidance, and it felt so comfortable!

The next morning, Su Wenyue got up early, finished embroidering the little bit that was left, gathered the embroidery works she had done over the past few days into a bundle, and also took out several sets of clothes she had made for her father and elder brothers. She called Xiao Xi and together they went back to her mother’s family.

Han Yu had wanted to accompany her, but he had made plans to go hunting in the mountains. Su Wenyue had only mentioned going back to her mother’s family late the previous night. Since it wasn’t a dangerous matter, he let Xiao Xi accompany her and even took the time to give Xiao Xi special instructions before he left for the mountains in the morning.

“Hey, Third Cousin’s wife, off to your mother’s family, huh? What’s with the bundle? Don’t tell me you’re taking things from your husband’s family to help out your own—that shouldn’t be done.”

Jiang Chunlan hadn’t left yet when she saw Su Wenyue and Xiao Xi leading the horse carriage over and couldn’t help but make a sarcastic comment, her tone indistinctly unpleasant. Su Wenyue didn’t mind, but Xiao Xi couldn’t stand it.

“Cousin, what are you even talking about? Our miss doesn’t need you to meddle in her affairs! Besides, what kind of family is the Su Family? They don’t need our miss to contribute. It’s just that you, Miss Cousin, came from a deep valley, grew up in poverty without much exposure, so it’s normal that you get confused.”

“Yeah, what Xiao Xi said is right. Chunlan, if you don’t know what you’re talking about, better to stay quiet and avoid embarrassing yourself!” Mrs. Liu chuckled from the side.

Ever since she came to the Han Family, Jiang Chunlan had been particularly sensitive about her background. Being directly rebuked by Xiao Xi was already embarrassing, and Mrs. Liu’s sarcasm made her cheeks flush with anger. Yet, she couldn’t come up with a good retort as the words were already hers; infuriated, she stamped her foot and ran out. Her face carried so much jealousy and malice it was almost frightening, but neither Su Wenyue nor Xiao Xi regarded such a clown as worth attention, almost to the point of underestimating the consequences.

“Sister-in-law, I’ll be on my way.” Seeing Jiang Chunlan rush out, Su Wenyue said goodbye to Mrs. Liu and left with Xiao Xi for her mother’s family.

“Go ahead, don’t worry about the household affairs; I’ve got things covered. Go have fun at your mother’s place, there’s no rush to come back.” Mrs. Liu waved her off, quite pleased with the idea of Su Wenyue visiting her mother’s family. Although it meant one less person to share the chores, the farming season wasn’t busy at the moment, and there were not many things to do. Besides, with the diligent second sister-in-law at home and Su Wenyue’s visit to her mother’s family likely to bring back various goods, foods, and utilities, they all benefitted.

Due to past experiences, Master Su and Madam Su were somewhat worried about Su Wenyue’s situation at the Han Family, fearing she might be mistreated. Hearing that their daughter had suddenly come home, they immediately became anxious and hastened to the front to welcome her.

“Father! Mother!” Su Wenyue greeted Master Su and Madam Su with a cheerful smile.

Seeing their daughter looking happy and energetic, it was clear she was doing well these past days, so Master Su and Madam Su’s worries were alleviated.

“Yueyue, why have you come home when there’s no holiday or special occasion? Your father and I thought something had happened, you gave us quite a scare.” Madam Su said with a laugh. She didn’t mean she was unhappy to see her daughter—it was quite the opposite; she wished for her to visit more often. But in that era, once a daughter was married, it was uncommon for her to frequently return to her mother’s family. Even if the husband’s family wouldn’t mind, there would still be idle talk from others.

“Father, Mother, don’t worry, I’m doing just fine at the Han Family! Look how these days I’ve put on weight? Although life at the Han Family isn’t wealthy and the living conditions aren’t too good, Husband Yu pampers me. Every time he goes hunting, he secretly roasts some delicious food to bring back for me and now I’m getting chubby,” Su Wenyue explained. She wanted to reassure her parents, and indeed, Han Yu had been very good to her.

“We’re relieved to hear that. But you still haven’t explained why you suddenly came back. There must be something, right?” Madam Su knew her daughter well enough to realize that since she was doing well at the Han Family and had grown more sensible recently, she wouldn’t come back home for no reason. There must be some issue.
