Chapter 698 - 341: Getting Married_1
Qian Yixiu saw her young mother with a flushed face, awkwardly bringing out a book and a sachet from somewhere. She knew that her mother was about to give her a lesson on sex. She hung her head and fiddled with the handkerchief in her hands, pretending to be unaware.
Pan Yue stuffed the book and sachet into Qian Yixiu’s hands and said, "After I leave, take a good look at these. Tomorrow night, you must obey your husband, whatever he asks you to do, you do. Only then can you become a mother, bearing children."
These words truly echoed what Grandma Wu had said to her mother; Qian Yixiu nodded in agreement.
Pan Yue then adjusted Qian Yixiu’s hair and said, "Xixiu, you’ll belong to someone else’s family from now on. Your mother knows you’re capable and have your own ideas, but you should still be docile in your husband’s family. Although your husband-to-be has a good temper, don’t be too willful..."
Qian Yixiu nodded with each sentence her mother said.
As the talk drew to a close, Pan Yue embraced her daughter, choking up. She said, "In the past few years when your father was not at home, and my mind was not clear, you had to take care of your mother at such a young age, and even earn money to support the family; you’ve suffered so much. Now that your father has returned, and my illness has also healed, but you are about to get married..."
She began to cry as she spoke.
Qian Yixiu also shed tears and said, "Mother, please don’t be like this, our homes are close, and I will come to see you whenever I can."
Pan Yue immediately responded, "Don’t, don’t come back too often when there is nothing wrong; the in-laws will be displeased. Look at your auntie; she only has her father-in-law and mother-in-law, and she considers it good to visit her parent’s home once a month. The Liang Family is large and there are many elders; don’t give anyone a reason to pick fault."
The mother and daughter chatted on and on until Sister Gong said that the eldest daughter needed to sleep early, finally persuading Pan Yue to leave.
Qian Yixiu flipped through the album, which truly was a book of men and women wrestling. However, the artistic style was too abstract and lacked aesthetic sense. She set the book aside and opened the sachet, which surprisingly contained two small wooden figures stacked together, as though they were wrestling.
