Chapter 550: Beating into a Pig’s Head (1)_1
Looking at Mo Yan, who was outstanding in both appearance and demeanor, Wu’s mother wholeheartedly agreed, "Yan girl is truly blessed, and she will surely have no difficulties in the future."
Mo Yan didn’t know how to respond, so she pretended to be shy and kept her head down while washing the vegetables, which only caused Wu’s mother and daughter to tease her even more.
After the laughter and teasing were over, Wu’s mother’s expression turned serious, "These days, any reputable family puts great emphasis on matching social status! If a bride’s family background isn’t up to par, she will always lack confidence in her husband’s household, which can lead to being timid. If the family is easy to get along with, then it’s fine, but otherwise, she can be easily looked down upon, with anyone daring to trample on her. If she suffers any grievances, she can only bear it, and her family can do nothing even if they want to stand up for her."
"Indeed, take Mo Yongxi, for example, she’s considered to have married up. Many people in the village say she’s lucky, but whether that’s truly the case, only time will tell after she’s married," said Wu’s mother, and Mo Yan agreed with her completely.
In this era, it didn’t matter if you were a love match or not, matching social status was the first rule of marriage. Although it blocked many lovers from being together, it did, to a certain extent, ensure the stability of marriage. It was for this very reason that she had ignored Xiao Ruiyuan’s advances.
Even though Mo Yongxi was believed to bring prosperity to her husband’s family, the Fang Family would be somewhat tolerant towards her, but given her arrogant and domineering nature, she would likely become even more unbridled, especially once she discovers that her supposed rich son-in-law is actually fond of men. That would surely turn into a major scandal.
The unintentional conversation between the two touched upon the intense sense of inferiority hidden deep within Dani’s heart. She was distractedly picking through the vegetables, unknowingly tearing the leaves to shreds.
