Yukinoshita's Correction Method Chapter 376
"It does look quite similar." Dong Yunshan glanced worriedly at the direction of the bedding. "But you just said that this was the initial idea, right?"
"After hearing what you've said, I realize that you two are truly trying to understand each other and help each other become better." Yuki's mother sighed softly, as if lamenting, yet also expressing her feelings. "Your relationship isn't Yukino's rebellion, nor is it her defiance against me; it's simply your relationship. After all, when you're enjoying the pleasure of correcting each other, you're so focused on liking each other that you don't even notice it yourself, so how could you possibly have the energy to think about rebellion?"
Dong Yunshan muttered softly, "Don't rush..."

Chapter 684 Mental Inertia
Snow Mother: "Hmm?"
"What I mean is..." Dong Yunshan coughed lightly, "Since none of you objected, Yukino has nothing to rebel against."
If we're really talking about Yukino Yukinoshita taking some kind of action out of rebellion, then it's only the time when Haruno Yukinoshita called.
Not only did she talk to her sister on the phone, but she also corrected the Dong Yunshan.
They even deliberately made noise.
"No objections...?" Snow Mother let out a soft chuckle, barely audible to Dong Yunshan if her hearing hadn't been exceptionally sharp. "I never explicitly oppose their decisions; instead, I help them understand what is right."
Dong Yunshan's lips twitched slightly. "Thank you for your hard work."
Snow Mother asked in a questioning tone, "Oh?"
"Although I don't have children, I was a student. It feels a lot like being a teacher. You can't completely negate a student's problem-solving approach, lest you stifle their ability to learn independently. But you can't just stand by and watch students make mistakes and lose points, so you have to carefully and diligently explain the standard answers." Dong Yunshan paused. "This kind of education requires elders to set a good example and uphold correctness. In my opinion, this is a very difficult thing. After all... unlike questions on exam papers, many problems in real life don't have standard answers."
"Maintaining correctness...I see." Yuki-mama raised her hand and lightly touched the paper sliding door of the tatami room, casting a long, thin shadow on it. "Now I understand why I thought Yukino rebellious."
Dong Yunshan's heart skipped a beat. "In order to... maintain correctness?"
"She didn't act the way I thought was right, yet she got a great result." Snow Mother didn't hide her approval of Dong Yunshan. "If she wasn't wrong, then I was. I, who have always maintained my sense of right, subconsciously started looking for her mistakes to uphold my own correctness."
However, it's difficult for Yukino 'Yukino Yukinoshita Dong Yunshan is wrong.
After all, judging from the current situation, Dong Yunshan is indeed a very good son-in-law.
It would be even better if he were willing to marry into the family.
But it's also perfectly fine if you don't want to marry into the family.
Is rapid progress a mistake?
That's hard to say.
Having gained sufficient understanding, choosing to act decisively and avoid other unexpected situations is also a sound choice.
After all, Dong Yunshan has quite a few outstanding girls around him.
Following this line of thought, getting engaged is also a decisive and excellent decision.
Not telling parents is also to avoid interference and to ensure that good decisions are implemented as soon as possible.
Therefore... it's difficult for Yukino Yukinoshita's mother to define whether her actions are right or wrong.
However, she can define Yukino Yukinoshita's mistakes.
For example... rebellion.
This is a mistake that could very well be defined by the mother.
Denying one's mother's definition is rebellion; not denying it... is acknowledging one's own rebellion.
Yukino Yukinoshita's autonomy is not autonomy, but a rebellion for the sake of resistance.
Even if the final outcome is good, this kind of rebellion is wrong.
It is correct to point out that the Yukino Yukinoshita the wrong mother of snow.
It is also correct to punish and correct mistakes.
For Yukino's mother, who always maintains the correctness, finding out Yukino Yukinoshita's mistakes is easier than admitting her own.
It's easier to see Yukino Yukinoshita rebellious than to recognize one's own mistakes.
This ingrained way of thinking led Yukino's mother to immediately think that Yukino Yukinoshita entered her rebellious phase.
The rebellious phase is not a war that needs to be won, but a bridge that needs to be crossed together.
We cannot simply suppress and deny; instead, we need to understand and communicate.
Transform what children perceive as a power struggle into a process of emotional connection.
However, due to her past parenting style, Yukino Yukinoshita rarely confides in her mother.
Now, what should Yukino's mother do if she wants to understand Yukino Yukinoshita's feelings?
Talk to one of her close friends.
That's why Snow Mother came at this time.
It was only after talking with Dong Yunshan that she realized the misjudgment she had made due to her habitual way of thinking.
"Defining others' mistakes in order to be right..." Dong Yunshan muttered softly, "It seems like my mother-in-law is the more rebellious one."
Haruno Yukinoshita almost burst out laughing, and quickly covered her mouth.
Yukino Yukinoshita glared at her older sister, then cautiously listened intently.
"Hmm~?" Snow Mother's voice rose at the end, "Can't I have a rebellious phase?"
Dong Yunshan: "I think it might be menopause..."
Snow Mother tightened her grip on the paper sliding door slightly. "Yunshan, Mom hasn't agreed to your marriage yet~"
"... looks younger." Dong Yunshan quickly corrected herself, "I mean, in terms of mindset."
Snow Mother's voice held a dangerous chuckle, "That last sentence is redundant."
"Your youthful appearance is immediately apparent, but I only just realized how youthful your mindset is," Dong Yunshan added. "Your mother-in-law understands what I mean, right?"
"I don't know if I understand or not," Snow Mother said gently, leaning against the door. "After all, I make mistakes too."
"I don't think it's necessary to negate everything just because we found one mistake," Dong Yunshan whispered. "Like I just said, unlike questions on exam papers, many problems in real life don't have standard answers."
Snow Mother nodded gently. "Thank you for your comfort."
"It's not just about comforting you; I genuinely feel that way," Dong Yunshan solemnly reiterated, "Just like the previous rescue efforts."
"Oh?"
"When I talked to Sister Haruno about the necessity of my father-in-law going to the scene, I mentioned responsibility, interests, and reputation." Dong Yunshan took a deep breath. "While these were my father-in-law's reasons for going, they weren't his only reasons. I believe he also wanted to contribute his efforts to save as many people as possible. We can't completely deny his desire to save lives just because he wants to gain benefits and a good reputation."
Snow Mother remained silent for a long while. "You mean...?"
"What I mean is, subconsciously viewing Yukino's independent decision as rebellious certainly involves a desire to uphold one's own sense of right and wrong, but there's also the possibility of other thoughts..." Dong Yunshan raised her hand and lightly touched the shadow on the door. "For example, in a mother's eyes, her daughter is still a little girl who needs protection, not yet ready to become a wife. Even if she's prepared for this, the mother hopes that day will come later, hopes to be with her daughter longer, and hopes her daughter can remain a daughter for a while longer—because she knows the hardships of being a wife and a mother."
Snow Mother's hand, which was resting on the door, twitched slightly. "So that's what I was thinking?"
"Human thoughts are very complex," Dong Yunshan chuckled. "Just now, someone else realized their own habitual way of thinking."
Chapter 685 The Bell of New Year's Eve
Snow Mother's fingers twitched slightly, tracing the shadow of Dong Yunshan's hand on the door. "You seem to have discovered more than I have."
"Maybe it's because I haven't seen enough," Dong Yunshan murmured. "I didn't see an elder who was always right, but I did see a mother who was very good at taking care of a baby."
You can't see the true face of Mount Lu because you are in the mountain yourself.
If Dong Yunshan had grown up under Xue Mu's high-pressure education, she would have found it difficult to say such things.
But this was his first time visiting Yukinoshita Family.
What he saw with his own eyes were the elders taking care of the baby, the wife helping her husband with his work, and the mother-in-law taking the initiative to communicate with her son-in-law.
Therefore, he naturally tended to think about Snow Mother in a gentler way.
Most importantly...
Haruno Yukinoshita's gaze was complex as she realized the basis of Dong Yunshan's way of thinking.
Because the mother is always right, the idea that one must listen to her if one doesn't want to make a mistake is a consensus within the Yukinoshita Family.
This consensus is the authority that Xue's mother has built up over many years by setting an example, and the result of her repeated correct decisions.
But Dong Yunshan never believed that Xuemu was right.
Even after learning about Yuki-no-Mother's prowess through the Yukinoshita sisters, and even after several encounters and secret clashes with her, Dong Yunshan still refused to acknowledge Yuki-no-Mother's correctness.
The main reason why Dong Yunshan does not agree is...
Haruno Yukinoshita looked at her silent younger sister.
Naturally, it's Yukino Yukinoshita.
After meeting and dating Dong Yunshan Dong Yunshan, Yukino Yukinoshita became happier than before. She made many friends, helped many people, did many things, and even ran a branch store.
These are all things that Yukino Yukinoshita was unable to accomplish before.
Therefore, in Dong Yunshan's view, he was more correct than Xue Mu.
Yukino Yukinoshita gave him this confidence.
Although it appears that Dong Yunshan is communicating with Yuki's mother, in reality, Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita are communicating with Yuki's mother together.
"I'm glad you think that way," Snow Mother chuckled. "Then... since you're so understanding, you must also hope that we, mother and daughter, can spend more time together, right?"
"This..." Dong Yunshan quickly withdrew her hand.
"Hmm?" Snow Mother exerted a little force with her palm, pushing open the paper sliding door of the Japanese-style room a crack. "Were you just... just saying it?"
"Of course not." Dong Yunshan pressed down hard against the door, narrowing the gap to within his own reach to prevent the Yukinoshita sisters from being discovered inside. "I certainly understand my mother-in-law's feelings, but..."
"But what?" In the darkness, Snow Mother, dressed in pajamas and wearing a coat, revealed a dangerous smile.
Unlike during the day, her long, smooth hair wasn't styled into an elaborate bun. Instead, it fell softly down her back, draped elegantly with slight curls, giving her a more gentle and graceful appearance.
But that smile, devoid of genuine joy, still possessed a chilling, intimidating power.
Since you understand your mother's feelings, then let's have him marry into the family.
Marry into my family! Marry into my family! Marry into my family! Marry into my family! Marry into my family!...
Faintly visible characters emerged silently, like black smoke.
"Distance makes the heart grow fonder. To truly understand a mother's feelings, you have to experience it yourself." Dong Yunshan nervously swallowed, not because he was afraid of Yukino's mother, but because he was afraid she would discover what was happening in the room. "I hope my mother-in-law will give me some room to maneuver so I can do more for Yukino."
"Being a parent means sharing more of the burden with your children..." Seeing Dong Yunshan's nervousness, Xue's mother's lips curled slightly, and she exerted her strength little by little, showing no intention of backing down. "I will not only give you space, but also give you more opportunities to perform."
"Opportunities must be created by oneself." Dong Yunshan controlled his strength to avoid damaging the door. "Young people should still earn their own living; as the saying goes, 'He who does not work, does not eat'..."
"But young people shouldn't waste their time on repetitive tasks. If given the opportunity, they should grow on a larger platform." Xue's mother's cold eyes narrowed slightly. "As the saying goes, pressure is motivation..."
"I don't deny that pressure can unleash potential, but it can also easily lead people astray in a state of stress, causing them to grow in the wrong direction in order to resist the pressure." Dong Yunshan's eyes flickered slightly. "During the day, I provided appropriate answers under pressure, but what truly made me think about what I should do... was the relaxed time I spent on campus."
Without experience in school, Dong Yunshan could only offer appropriate solutions, but couldn't think of any way to help.
Snow Mother paused, her strength gradually weakening.
"Those who grow under pressure are inevitably those who grow to resist pressure." Dong Yunshan also adjusted his strength. "Only after eliminating the pressure can one truly see what they want."
When under pressure, people only think about how to cope with the pressure.
Only when there is no pressure can people calm down and think.
It was only after finishing the statistics that Shinonome Shan realized... what he really wanted to do was not to answer Xue Mu's question, but to help the students who had fallen into the water.
Snow Mother's gaze narrowed slightly, and her hand slowly left the paper sliding door.
Thump--~
The deep, resonant tolling of bells drifted from afar, gradually dispelling the worries in people's hearts.
Dong Yunshan heard Xixi mumble a few words in her sleep, then turned over and went back to sleep.
Although the bell's sound was clear, it was far enough away, and the doors and windows provided good sound insulation, so it wasn't as noisy as expected.
"It seems I was overthinking it." Not hearing Xixi's cries, Mother Xue gently stood up, stroking the floor. "I won't disturb you any longer. You go and look after Xixi; the bell won't be ringing for a long time."
She seemed to have brought up the previous topic.
It was as if they were continuing their previous conversation.
Dong Yunshan nodded gently. "Yes, I will."
Snow Mother nodded slightly, then turned and left.
Dong Yunshan closed the door and let out a long sigh of relief.
