Chapter 214 Mother-in-law also wants to follow

By the time Li Yinshuang returned home, Mei Dujuan had not yet given Xia Yaoyao a formal reply.

Xia Yaoyao picked up her bag and decided not to eat at home.

Li Yinshuang looked at her daughter's back in surprise as she left. She couldn't help but ask her daughter-in-law, "Dujuan, did you and Yaoyao have a fight?"

"No." Mei Dujuan denied it quickly.

Li Yinshuang always felt that there was something indescribable strangeness between the two of them.

"Sister-in-law." A familiar female voice sounded outside. Li Yinshuang was slightly startled, and quickly realized who was coming.

"Liya, you are here." Li Yinshuang went out to greet them enthusiastically.

Today is the day when Huo Yanshan’s younger brother and his family come to pay New Year’s greetings. Something happened some time ago and they were delayed, so they had to postpone their visit until now.

"Dujuan didn't give birth, did she? No one expected that. There was a heavy rain in my hometown and a landslide blocked the road. I just got back last night."

My sister-in-law Liu Liya explained the reason for the delay and asked about Mei Dujuan's situation first.

"The baby is still a month away. You guys have worked hard. You guys take a rest. I'll go cook." Li Yinshuang took the things and asked everyone to sit down.

"This belly is really big. I'm afraid it will be painful to give birth in the future." Liu Liya touched Mei Dujuan's belly. "Is there any movement now?"

Mei Dujuan nodded, "He was very tiring at night, often kicking me, and I couldn't sleep a full night."

"You've worked so hard. After you give birth, let your sister-in-law take good care of you." Liu Liya laughed and teased, "You are so naughty. Don't let these two boys be so troublesome."

"If it's a boy, I'll accept him, but I don't want two daughters. If they're so restless in the womb, it will be very difficult to take care of them in the future."

Mei Dujuan was only thinking about having a son, so naturally she wanted to have two sons in her belly.

This made Liu Liya beside him feel awkward for a moment. "It doesn't matter whether you have a son or a daughter. They're all your flesh and blood. You can't have a daughter without pain?"

"I was just joking." Mei Dujuan gave a perfunctory smile, but she was cursing madly in her heart.

"By the way, sister-in-law, guess who I met at the station this time?"

Liu Liya went to the kitchen to help and thought of Xia Jing and He Yuntang whom she met on the train. They were with a child, who she thought was born on the farm.

Li Yinshuang, who was chopping vegetables, stopped and asked, "Xia Jing is back?"

Doesn't this mean that Xia Mi is back too? Li Yinshuang began to worry about Xia Yaoyao. She had heard Xia Yaoyao say before that Sang Qi already knew that Xia Mi was his biological niece and liked Xia Mi more.

"Yes, I asked her to come back with me today, but she said she was busy and had to go to He Yuntang's house."

Liu Liya was picking vegetables nearby, thinking seriously, "Sister-in-law, when do you think Xia Jing will be able to come back? Will she stay in Suzhou or settle down on the farm?"

"I don't know. She doesn't seem to be on the farm anymore. Xia Mi took her away last year."

"Xia Mi, Xiao Mi?!" Liu Liya's tone was shocked. She was so excited that she broke the vegetable roots directly. "Didn't you send her to some rotten island?"

Li Yinshuang was very dissatisfied when she heard the word "dismissed".

"What do you mean by send away? She is living a better life now than you and me." Li Yinshuang felt complicated when mentioning Xia Mi.

After all, she had raised this child for twenty years, bringing him up from childhood, and now it had become like this.

"What's wrong? I heard from my eldest brother that she went to the island to marry an officer. This officer was engaged to you when you were children. Isn't this a good thing? But I remember that you hated Xiao Mi very much before. Why would you give up such a good marriage to her?"

"She didn't marry the guy from the Yan family. She found a battalion commander and is now his wife."

Liu Liya exclaimed, her mouth was so big that it could fit an egg.

"Is this true?"

Li Yinshuang's depressed expression indirectly answered Liu Liya.

"Xiao Mi is such a lucky girl. She's been beautiful since she was little. When I first got married, I thought she didn't look like you. I thought it was a genetic mutation. It turns out she was the wrong baby."

Li Yinshuang's already depressed mood became even more depressed.

"Officer's wife, wow, who could have thought of this." Liu Liya sighed beside her without caring about Li Yinshuang's emotions.

If my sister-in-law knew that the current secretary of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau in their city is still Uncle Xia Mi, who knows what she would say.

Li Yinshuang wondered, if she had been more tolerant of Xia Mi at the beginning, would the current situation have changed?

But she could only think about it.

-

Imperial capital.

Happy times are always short, Xia Mi and Huo Jingchen will leave the imperial capital tomorrow.

When Xia Mi got up in the morning and went downstairs, she saw the luggage downstairs and thought she was still asleep.

There were three large bags and two suitcases in total.

Huo Jingchen handed the cup of water to Xia Mi, folded his arms, and looked helpless.

"Are you moving?"

"You're right, your mother is planning to move all the things out of this house." Huo Yanshan was already used to it. He put down the newspaper and spoke in a calm tone.

Zhao Min took out a shawl and said, "By the way, Jingchen, I forgot to tell you that I'm going to live on your island for a month."

"Mom, you're always thinking ahead. The environment on the island is not as good as it is now. If you can't stay there for three days, you'll want to go home. There's a lot to do in the army, and then Xiao Mi will be the only one to see you off. Are you willing to go?"

Zhao Min seemed to have made up her mind.

"If Xiao Mi can stay, why can't I? Besides, your second sister said that the island is not as bad as we thought. The scenery is quite nice."

Zhao Min packed her luggage on her own.

"If I want to leave, there's no need for Xiao Mi to see me off."

Zhao Min looked at her packed luggage with satisfaction. "I'll have someone send this over this afternoon. Jingchen, come with me."

"What the hell is this? Just go there for a month."

Huo Jingchen has already accepted the fact that his mother will go with him, but with so many things, he gets a headache just looking at them.

"They are all things that can be used in daily life, and there are also some food."

"We don't need the food. It's not like there aren't supply and marketing cooperatives in Qingcheng, not to mention there are supply and marketing cooperatives on the island. It would be a waste to send these things over."

Zhao Min refused, "These are all ginseng and other things given by others. I brought them over to replenish Xiao's body. We have them at home. Wouldn't it be a waste to buy more outside?"

When he heard that it was used to replenish Xia's body, Huo Jingchen no longer objected.

Huo Yanshan put down the newspaper he had just raised and shook his head helplessly.

"Mom, I can't eat so much either. I'd better bring less. Besides, if so much food is lost on the way, it will be a big loss."

Putting these things down there really gives me the feeling of moving house, which is quite exaggerated.

Today's logistics are not as good as in later generations. It is normal for items to be lost. If something is lost, it is lost and there will be no compensation.

Xia Mi felt heartbroken just thinking about losing a box of such valuable items.
