Chapter 55 Complaint against Mother-in-law

Zhang Juexia thought Li Yiqin's words made sense, so he smiled and said, "Just wait, I have something good for you."

Li Yiqin asked hurriedly, "What is this? Why are you so mysterious? Didn't you ask us to help you with the work? Hurry up and get the work done!"

"Wait, you'll know in a moment."

Zhang Juexia found the silk flowers that Li Yingyue had given them from the west wing and placed them in front of them. "You and Suyun, pick one each."

Ye Suyun picked up the silk flower and looked at it carefully. "Sister-in-law, this silk flower is so finely crafted! It must have cost a lot of money, right?"

When Li Yiqin heard that Ye Suyun's silk flower was worth a lot of money, she picked it up and put it down again, "Xia'er, forget it! I'm already married, so I don't need it!"

Zhang Juexia held her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, who says you can't be beautiful after getting married? This flower suits you very well."

"Okay, then I'll keep it for Chinese New Year."

"Then each of you can choose two flowers, wear one now and another during the Chinese New Year."

"No, Xia'er, I noticed that you've become so arrogant since you went to the county town."

"I've always been like this, sister-in-law, please take it away quickly and don't affect my work."

Li Yiqin smiled and looked at Ye Suyun, "Since your sister-in-law Xia'er is so generous, then let's accept it! Xia'er, we are really blessed by you. If I wear this silk flower when I go out tomorrow, I'm afraid all the young wives in our village will envy me."

"Then let them envy me!"

Zhang Juexia brought out two rolls of cotton cloth and cotton from the west wing, "Sister-in-law, let's make quilts today, and you can help us make thick cotton clothes tomorrow."

"become."

"Is my eldest brother okay with that?"

"What does he have to say? He heard I was coming to your house and wanted to come too, but I didn't let him come, and he ended up causing more trouble.

By the way, he picked the hawthorns from your mountain for you, and then I helped him put them in the warehouse in your backyard.

Take a look at it when you have time, and don’t let it get spoiled.”

"I see. Let's solve the heating problem first. We can deal with the rest later."

Li Yiqin was holding a pair of scissors and staring at the cotton cloth in a daze. "Xia'er, which color are you going to use? This bright color looks good, but it won't get dirty. This dark color is too dark."

Wang Guilan offered her suggestions, "Qin'er, you can cut them. Make the dark-colored ones into mattresses and the light-colored ones into quilts. You're still young, why worry about this?"

Zhang Juexia thought the same thing. "Sister-in-law, put down the scissors. I'll leave this matter to you."

Four people are very strong. They made a quilt and a mattress in just one morning.

Zhang Juexia put away the quilt and mattress. "I'll ask my sister-in-law to help Beixiu and me cut some clothes and make thick cotton-padded jackets. I'll go cook. We agreed that no one is allowed to go back to the old house today. I'll take care of the meals!"

Wang Guilan patted the cotton that was stuck on her body, smiled and pulled Zhang Juexia, "Xia'er and I will go cook."

Li Yiqun took the big scissors and started cutting, while Ye Suyun helped her hold the cloth.

Zhang Juexia and Wang Guilan went into the kitchen. She was still preparing to steam rice for lunch.

Cut more meat and stew the cabbage with the bone soup made in the morning.

It's not that she is stingy. People in the mountains eat whatever they grow in the fields. Besides, even if they leave the mountains, they still eat radishes and cabbages at this time.

She doesn't like radishes and always thinks they are not as delicious as cabbage.

Wang Guilan hesitated for a long time, "Xia'er, did your mother-in-law come this morning?"

"Well, grandma, how did you know?"

"We met. I asked her, and she hesitated. I knew she must have come to your place. Is there something wrong with her?"

Zhang Juexia wanted to keep quiet, but he still said it. Pang Xiujuan had gone too far, and Zhang Juexia didn't want to let her go. "Mom wants to come live with us."

Wang Guilan was chopping meat and put the knife on the chopping board. "She's really rebelling, Xia'er. Don't be afraid. As long as your grandfather and I are alive, she won't even think about it. I'll tell your grandfather when I get home. I don't believe we can't cure her."

Zhang Juexia still had some concerns, "Milk..."

Wang Guilan waved her hand. "I know your concerns. Your grandfather and I will know our limits."

Everyone enjoyed lunch very much.

Li Yiqin held her rice bowl and said, "Xia'er, if you have any work to do around the house, come to me!"

Wang Guilan pointed at her and said, "You, your sister-in-law, this is because she met an important person in the city and the important person gave her rice. We are from the mountains, how can we bear to eat white rice?"

"Too."

"If you like it, eat more. There's more in the pot."

After dinner, Wang Guilan found an excuse and left in a hurry.

Li Yiqun and Ye Suyun helped Zhang Juexia finish making the thick clothes.

"Xia'er, I saw you bought quite a bit of cotton, so I'll give you some extra. It's so cold here in the winter when it snows!"

"Thank you, sister-in-law. You and Suyun will have to come and help me with some work tomorrow."

"What kind of work?"

"My grandma helped make the other quilt at home. I have some leftover cotton and cloth, so I thought of making a new set of clothes for grandpa and grandma to wear. It's also a token of our love."

"Okay, then I won't ask grandma to come with us tomorrow. We need to keep it a secret and give them a surprise."

After seeing Li Yiqin and Ye Suyun off, Zhang Juexia spread the newly made mattress on the kang and asked, "Isn't it a lot warmer now?"

"Such a thick cotton mattress must be warm."

"Try the cotton-padded jacket on for a while. If it doesn't fit, ask your sister-in-law to alter it tomorrow when she comes."

"Well, I'll try again when it's time to go to bed. You sit down and rest for now."

"I'm not tired."

Before the two could say a word, the door rang and Ye Jishun came in, carrying two pheasants and a rabbit on his back. "I have already dealt with the traps on the mountain. I can ask Bei Xiu to set new traps in the spring."

"Master, why don't you take one of each to eat home."

Ye Jishun left without looking back, "Don't sell it, leave it to Bei Xiu to heal himself."

Zhang Juexia looked at his back and was glad that Ye Beixiu still had grandparents who loved him, otherwise, his life would be so hard.

Ye Beixiu knew that Ye Jishun had helped him carry the things back from the trap, and he also muttered, "It's just that my grandparents love me."

"I heard everything you said to Mom today. While we were cooking, I told Grandma about this. She said she'd tell Grandpa about it and ask him to help take care of Mom."

"She needs someone to take care of her, otherwise, we will suffer."

"What if Mom doesn't listen to Grandpa and Grandma? Or what if she insists on living with us?"

"With me here, this won't happen. Don't worry, grandpa and grandma will definitely support us."
