80s Marriage of Convenience, My Archenemy Became a Henpecked Husband

Upon waking up, Lin Xiangyi realized she had transmigrated into a period novel written by her stepsister. Her stepsister was the protagonist, and she was the villainous female supporting character....

Chapter 244 Apology

After Xie Sanniang left, Kuai Le Le was finally able to eat the food from his biological mother. He sucked his tongue and beads of sweat appeared on the tip of his nose.

"They are not starving. We feed them milk powder at the appointed time. But milk powder never tastes as good as their own milk!" said Xie's mother lovingly.

"It's okay. I can let them eat more breast milk. I heard that breast milk is better for babies," said Lin Xiangyi.

"That's right!" Xie's mother said that it is of course better for children to eat breast milk, which is natural and healthy, but Lin Xiangyi's health was not very good before.

Although I recovered a little later, it was still difficult to feed two children.

Xie Qingxiao would not let Lin Xiangyi breastfeed exclusively, nor would she ask Lin Xiangyi to do so.

So many times, whether Lin Xiangyi should breastfeed or not depends mainly on her wishes.

When she was not around or was busy, she would just feed the two little brothers with milk powder.

Lin Xiangyi had just finished feeding the two little brothers when Xie's mother discussed with her what to eat tonight.

"How about eating dumplings tonight?" Lin Xiangyi said, "I haven't eaten them for a long time."

"Of course, just make it when you want to eat it. Mom will make it for you!" Xie's mother said immediately.

Lin Xiangyi glanced at the wounds on Xie's mother's face and hands, and said distressedly: "Forget it, mother, you should rest, I will cook tonight. Cousin, will you make dumplings with me tonight? Let my mother and aunt rest."

Lin Xiangyi shouted loudly to Gao Shengnan outside.

Gao Shengnan shouted: "Sure!"

Lin Xiangyi handed the child to Xie's mother and prepared to cook. A milky voice came from her aunt: "Aunt~"

She is Taotao, the daughter of Xie Guoqiang and Su Xiaomei.

"Taotao, why are you here?" Lin Xiangyi was surprised.

"Aunt, I have a younger brother too!" Taotao smiled sweetly while tilting her little face up.

"Yes, you have a younger brother. He is inside. Do you want to go in and see them?" Lin Xiangyi asked with a smile.

When she had just returned happily after giving birth, Aunt Xie often brought Taotao over to play and told her that she had a younger brother.

She thought Taotao was also talking about happiness today.

Tao Tao was so anxious that she couldn't speak clearly: "I don't know you, I have a younger brother!"

"Xiangyi, Taotao means that she has a younger brother now and Guoqiang's wife has given birth!" Uncle Xie's voice came from far away, and he said with a smile.

Lin Xiangyi was pleasantly surprised: "Really? Xiaomei gave birth? When did she give birth? Did everything go smoothly?"

"Yes, she started labor yesterday afternoon and gave birth last night. It went smoothly. She's fine now," said Uncle Xie happily. "They just sent me a telegram to tell me. Your aunt specifically told me to come and tell you."

"Oh, great!" Xie's mother ran out after hearing the news, very happy: "As long as everything goes well!"

Lin Xiangyi was also happy and squatted down to look at Taotao.

Although Aunt Xie and Xie Guoqiang and his wife had been in the city for two days, only Uncle Xie was left to take care of Taotao.

But Taotao still looks clean and refreshed, and it can be seen that Uncle Xie takes good care of Taotao.

She pinched her little face and said, "Auntie's family is making dumplings tonight. Can Taotao stay and eat too?"

"Yes, Taotao likes the food cooked by aunt the most!" Taotao's eyes lit up. She had eaten the food cooked by aunt before, and it was delicious!

Uncle Xie's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he coughed, "Xiang Yi, can I have a meal at your house today?"

"Sure!" Lin Xiangyi laughed and joked, "Your aunt isn't at home, so I guess you haven't eaten well these past two days, right?"

Uncle Xie’s cooking skills are notoriously bad because Aunt Xie always complains about him.

Uncle Xie sighed and blamed Lin Xiangyi, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Everyone was amused by him, and Xie's mother grimaced in pain because of the wound at the corner of her mouth.

Uncle Xie had to go out to work, so he left Taotao at Xie's house.

While Xie's mother and Aunt Zhao took the children out to play, Lin Xiangyi and Gao Shengnan made dumplings.

Gao Shengnan chopped the meat while Lin Xiangyi made the dumpling wrappers.

The village head's wife and He Ersao came over at this time: "Xiangyi, are you preparing dinner for today?"

"Yes, I plan to make dumplings tonight," Lin Xiangyi saw the village chief's wife, "You guys can stay and eat dumplings before you leave."

The village head and his wife felt itchy when they heard this, but then they realized that they were here to apologize, so they could only refuse cruelly: "Forget it, we'll go home and eat later! By the way, these things are for you!"

"What is it?" Lin Xiangyi asked.

"It's just some food, biscuits, candies and a bottle of wine. I brought it here for you to try," said the village chief's wife with a smile. She divided the things she brought into two portions, one for the Xie family and the other to be given to Xie Sanniang later.

She took the Xie family's portion and put it on the dining table in the main hall.

"...Is the wine Moutai? It's too expensive. How can you let us taste it? Please take it back quickly!" Lin Xiangyi said hurriedly. Moutai now costs eight or nine yuan a bottle, which is nearly half a month's salary for an ordinary worker. It is too expensive.

Xie's mother, who was playing with her children in the house, heard the noise and came out, stuffing all the things into the arms of the village head's wife: "Take them back quickly."

The village head's wife had already brought it here, why would she take it back? She held Xie's mother's hand to prevent her from returning the things to her. Seeing the wounds on her body, she said embarrassedly: "These wounds on your body..."

"It's okay," Xie's mother touched her face and said, "I've applied medicine."

The village head's wife felt even more guilty when she heard this. Her eldest daughter-in-law returned home and wanted to curse the Xie family's ancestors for eighteen generations, but the Xie family didn't seem to care that much.

"Yingzi, I'm sorry for what happened just now. My eldest daughter-in-law is ignorant and caused you and Peilan to get hurt! I'm almost mad at her. I just told her that we're splitting up the family business."

"What? Just split up the family?" Lin Xiangyi thanked her mother in surprise.

They expected the village chief's wife to come and apologize, after all, she has always been a considerate person.

But they never expected that they would actually split up directly!

"It's not just because of what happened this afternoon," the village chief's wife quickly explained, "We have always had some conflicts with my eldest son's wife, and we have long wanted to separate. Even if this incident hadn't happened, it would have been a matter of time before we separated."

"That's right," He Ersao echoed.

Xie's mother and Lin Xiangyi understood.

However: "Why did you bring so many things here? We have already separated. Even if you want to apologize, you shouldn't be the ones to come. Take them back quickly."

The village head's wife refused to take it: "There aren't many of these things, so you should take them quickly. Now, go make dumplings. My second son's wife and I still have to go to the third son's house."

Having said that, he took He Ersao and left with the remaining gifts.

Xie's mother chased them to the door and watched them run away like rabbits, so she had to come back with the things.

"Forget it, mother, just accept it. It will put their minds at ease." Lin Xiangyi smiled and said, "We will make dumplings later and send two plates to them."

"That's fine," Xie's mother said helplessly.

"In that case, should we make more dumplings?" Gao Shengnan interrupted.

"Yes," Lin Xiangyi said, "I'll get some more dough to knead."

"Okay, then I'll chop another piece of meat."
