Xia Qiyue ignored Liu Mei. Just when Liu Mei thought she would open the kitchen to get her some food, she had already turned a corner and entered her room.
At this time, Mrs. An and his wife were sitting on the kang in Xia Qiyue's room. Next to them was Ge Mingyu, who was holding her son in her arms and feeding him the cakes they had just bought in Xia Qiyue's room.
Ling'er was on the kang, far away from Ge Mingyu, looking at her with a defensive look on her face, fearing that her former mother and current third uncle would be caught and beaten by accident.
Yang Qiuju and her son were sitting on the other side of the kang. The eight-year-old son was holding three small candied haws in his hand and chewing them vigorously.
Liu Mei's two sons are not here, and none of the men from Lao An's family are here.
Xia Jiuyue sat on the kang with her three children, looking at everyone from time to time, fearing that they would rummage through the boxes.
You can't rummage through the eldest sister's room. The new clothes and gold earrings I bought just now are all placed in the cabinet.
"Dad, Mom!" Xia Qiyue greeted Lao An and his wife as she walked in.
Boss Lao An responded kindly, "Hey! Is the fourth man's family back?"
Mrs. An also had a smile on her face, "Fourth family member, you are back! Mom is still worried that you are freezing outside!"
Xia Qiyue felt sick in her heart, but she didn't show it in front of her. Since everyone from Lao An's family came over, it was impossible to go back. Instead of facing a big family making trouble, she might as well hand over this old woman first and let her
It is a wise choice for her to take good care of other people and stop them from messing around.
In terms of fairness, this old woman is really fair. She is equally fair to her four daughters-in-law. She doesn't show any good looks and doesn't say anything, and she beats or scolds them if she has to.
She also cares about her grandchildren. After all, when Xuan'er was about to die of thirst, it was the old woman who asked the old man to give her some water to save her life. As for her granddaughter, she had the same care for her three granddaughters and favored sons over daughters. If you calculate it this way, this
The old woman is quite fair.
Except for her eldest son, she treats all the other sons equally.
"I'm going to buy New Year's goods! By the way, Mom, you're here just in time. I just wanted to buy you a new set of clothes. I didn't know you were worried about the size. I'll go shopping with you soon! And dad!"
Xia Qiyue thought about the strategy in her heart, and immediately smiled brightly on her face. She could still smile when facing this old lady.
Because at least the original owner was not killed by her.
Mrs. An was a little surprised. She and the old man were worried about bringing everyone here today, because they were afraid that the fourth family would not be willing to make trouble and let them go back.
Firstly, her face was dull after coming back, and secondly, she really didn't want to travel in this winter, it was too painful.
"Oh, okay, okay! Our fourth daughter-in-law is still filial, and she still wants to buy clothes for my old lady. Look, old man! What am I saying? Among my four daughters-in-law, the fourth one is still the most sensible!
I really wasn’t disappointed!”
Old Mrs. An praised her for a while and winked at her old man. Old Man An was also coaxed by the words of taking them to buy clothes, which made him smile and nod repeatedly.
Xia Jiyue, who was on the kang, didn't understand why her eldest sister, who hated her father-in-law and mother-in-law so much, suddenly changed.
However, there was still no sound, and he just sat on the kang without moving, holding the children in his arms.
Instead, it was Ge Mingyu and Liu Mei. They exchanged looks. Just as Liu Mei was about to speak, Xia Qiyue got there first.
"Mom, I just bought some meat. When I chop the meat, prepare the vegetables and fillings for tomorrow, we can go buy clothes!"
The old lady immediately waved her hand, "Fourth family member, let your sisters-in-law do these tasks! How can you do this while they just sit there and let you wait on them!" After saying that, she looked at the other three daughters-in-law and said sternly, "You three, why don't you three?"
What are you doing sitting here? Why don't you go help Qiyue with the work? Do you still want your four younger siblings to blindly serve you?"
Xia Qiyue felt happy. This was the effect she wanted. To please an old woman and cure all the brats, she had earned it.
"Mom, the sisters-in-law are all guests, so let me do it!" So she got the advantage and acted like a good girl again. Without waiting for Liu Mei, Yang Qiuju, and Ge Mingyu to speak, she said, Bai Lianhua is just pretending to be the same.
.
"What kind of guest? From the fourth family, if you have any work, just tell the three sisters-in-law and let them go to work. You can stay and talk to mother!" The old woman originally wanted to say that you can take me and your father to buy it.
clothes, but seeing that her daughter-in-law was so kind to her, she was embarrassed to speak out.
"Yes, fourth sister-in-law, if you have any work, just tell my sister-in-law. She is very strong and will do it for you! Chop the stuffing, right? My sister-in-law is the best at chopping stuffing! Just take out the meat and vegetables, and my sister-in-law will chop it.
!”
Liu Mei, the most observant person, saw that the old woman was immediately defeated by Xia Qiyue's flattery and pointed the gun at herself. She also began to please Xia Qiyue.
"The bank, then I'm not polite. Thank you, sister-in-law, for your help!" Xia Qiyue asked, no longer pretending, and immediately agreed.
Anyway, she didn't want to wait on the busy schedule of Lao An's family. She happened to have three free laborers, and her sister didn't have to work hard in the winter.
"If the fourth brother and sister have any work to do, just tell me, and the second sister-in-law will also come to help!" Yang Qiuju always speaks in such a serious manner, and will not deliberately try to please anyone, not Liu Mei.
"Mom, Hua'er is so young that she can't live without me!" Ge Mingyu is different. She is stupid and has no scheming, and will always be used as a weapon by Liu Mei. In the end, she is no longer a human being.
Now I know that when she said this, Xia Qiyue would not understand, and the old lady was offended again. Hua'er was already three years old after the New Year, and she could walk by herself long ago, babbling, and understand some words.
, put him down and you can play by yourself.
Ge Mingyu's blatant request was based on the fact that Hua'er was his son, thinking that the old lady would not wrong her grandson.
But being so smart, she never thought that what was more important to the old lady than her grandson now was to please her fourth daughter-in-law. She not only had meat to eat, but also new clothes, so she could just make do with her grandson.
So, he immediately glared, "Hua'er is so old, you lazy woman, you still use Hua'er as an excuse not to work? Let's see if I don't beat you to death!" He took off his single-lined cloth shoes and was about to hit someone.
Ge Mingyu immediately ran away, "Mom, Hua'er is so young, how can it be done without anyone watching? I really don't have any excuses!"
But the son in his arms stretched out his hand toward Ling'er, still babbling.
Apparently he has recognized his sister and wants to go find her.
Ling'er didn't want to come to Ge Mingyu, so she kept hiding next to Xia Yueyue.
"Let go of Hua'er!" The old woman became even more angry because she didn't hit anyone. She hit Ge Mingyu one after another and asked her to put her grandson down.
How could Ge Mingyu be willing to block his own shield and just end up in a stalemate with the old woman?
It was the old man who spoke, so Mrs. An put down her shoes, pointed at Ge Mingyu and cursed her.
"Mom, please don't embarrass the third sister-in-law. I will go to work with the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law!" Xia Qiyue added another dose of strong medicine.
