Chapter 92 The Mother-in-Law Arrives

Hearing what the fourth brother said, the third brother panicked instantly.

He looked down at the clothes he was wearing; his mother said she had altered them from other clothes.

Could it be that it belongs to the fourth son?

The fourth child has already caught up with him in height. In the past, his mother never lacked clothes for him and would often make him new ones.

Sanwa knew that Lao Si would definitely not wear his old clothes, but if Lao Si insisted on returning them, he would have no choice but to comply.

“You look quite good in it. Your mother’s handiwork is quite good. The white collar was changed to light blue, which makes it much more resistant to dirt.”

The fourth brother took a bite of the fried dough and patted him on the shoulder with his other clean hand.

“No wonder your mother insisted that you go to school. You look much fairer these past two months,” the fourth son said with a pout. “Why did I take after my father and grow up to be so dark?”

Sanwa secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

“You’re not dark-skinned. You don’t like wearing hats anyway. Even if you’re fair-skinned, you’ll definitely get darker if you’re out in the sun all day.” Sanwa stepped out of the room. “You should wear your hat more often.”

"I'll keep my hat on to keep my sweat going, anyway, I'm not looking for a wife right now." With that, the fourth brother squatted down and washed his face with the water that the third brother had used to wash his face.

The third child, whose expression was unreadable, came to the west room and smiled as soon as he stepped inside.

very nice.

The fourth brother was actually able to talk to him properly now, instead of being as argumentative as before.

As he picked up the book, he wondered if it was because they had taught Li Guangzheng a lesson together.

He chuckled foolishly, picked up the book, and prepared to go outside to memorize it.

Before long, Song Chunxue had prepared the egg drop soup.

I was too busy a while ago and didn't have time to make egg drop soup, so I saved up some eggs. Today, we'll each have a poached egg.

"Fourth brother, go outside and get two bowls, fill them with water and take them out, and also get two fried cakes."

Although she was quite reluctant to part with them, Chen Feng was giving birth today, and the eldest son hadn't slept all night, so she also cooked two bowls of soup for them.

Anyway, she wouldn't usually burn [something], but today is the day the Jiang family has a new male heir, and she can't let outsiders laugh at her.

The fourth brother stared at Song Chunxue curiously, and even after bringing in two bowls, he continued to stare at her.

Song Chunxue felt uneasy under his gaze, turned her head and glanced at him, "Speak your mind."

"Hehe," the fourth brother grinned instantly, "I just think that Mother is too soft-hearted towards the eldest brother. He treated you like that a few days ago, and you still made soup for them. You are so magnanimous, you can forgive even the worst."

Song Chunxue chuckled and handed him a bowl of soup. "Hurry up and finish it so you can go release your sheep. I'm only cooking this once. You think I'll take care of you during your postpartum period? No way."

"That's good, that's good. Although I know you're soft-hearted, if the boss speaks well of Chen Feng, you might have to serve them without holding a grudge, but..."

The fourth brother looked displeased. "You won't get anything good out of serving her, and I won't stop you, but don't stop me from scolding the eldest brother later."

Song Chunxue laughed, "Then how are you going to scold the boss?"

She actually wanted to say that her fourth son had been quite easy to manage lately, letting her herd sheep whenever he wanted and not making a fuss about going back to school early.

"Just watch and see, anyone can curse." The fourth brother took a couple of sips of soup. "Don't defend me if I curse you."

"Don't worry, I'm just doing what I should do. The scars are still there, your mother isn't that stupid." With that, Song Chunxue took the soup to the north room.

After drinking the soup, she washed the dishes and went to work in the fields.

There is plenty of grain in the fields, and the miscellaneous grains are ripe one after another. Although there is no urgent need, we cannot afford to delay.

Anyway, there's an old woman at home, so there's no point in her staying.

Besides, she didn't want her boss to come to her every time something happened; it was too annoying!

She pulled millet for a while, then went to the cornfield to pick corn, and saw Li Dazui picking corn in the field below.

"Hey Song Niang, your eldest daughter-in-law is about to give birth, isn't she? Why are you still working in the fields? Aren't you going back to take care of your daughter-in-law?"

Li Dazui sat down on the ground and shouted loudly to chat with her.

"..." If she had magic powers, she would definitely stuff a clod of dirt into his mouth.

He's shouting so loudly because he's afraid others won't know that he has a bad relationship with his daughter-in-law.

“They don’t need me to serve them. They keep their finances very separate. Although I love my son, I’m not stupid. Why should I bother them?” Song Chunxue said irritably. “Go do your work.”

“I don’t have much corn at home. If I harvest it all at once, what am I going to do tomorrow?” Li Dazui sighed. “Visiting other people’s houses every day is annoying.”

"..." Song Chunxue thought to herself, so he knew it too.

"Your eldest daughter-in-law is wailing like a banshee, it must be a boy. Aren't you going home to cook and celebrate?"

"What's there to celebrate? He's not my son," Song Chunxue said with a faint smile. "Even though he's my grandson, he might not call me 'Grandma' in the future. Why would I do something so thankless?"

“That’s true.” Li Dazui sighed. “It’s time for me to find a wife for my son. He never comes home, saying that he’s too unsophisticated in the city and doesn’t like sleeping on a traditional earthen bed.”

That's right, earthen kang beds are full of earth, and they even have a strong earthy smell.

But Song Chunxue preferred sleeping on a heated earthen bed; it was comfortable.

"By the way, your two sons beat up Li Guangzheng the other day, and they were doing it to get justice for you. Were you secretly happy last night? Your kids know how to stand up for you, so their suffering wasn't in vain." Li Dazui said with a smile, "My daughter is coming back in a couple of days. Do you remember her? She's so pretty."

Song Chunxue certainly remembered that although Li Dazui wasn't good-looking, her daughter was indeed beautiful.

"I don't remember. You get back to work and stop talking to me." She didn't want any gossip to spread about Li Dazui.

"Alright, alright, you go about your business, I'm going home to feed the pigs." Li Dazui stood up, "I won't trouble you anymore."

While they were talking, Song Chunxue had already picked a large basket of corn. She smiled when she heard this.

He's quite self-aware, though.

Seeing that it was not yet noon, Song Chunxue decided to talk for a while longer.

Suddenly looking up, she saw a woman's figure that looked familiar on the road across the ditch; her walking posture was somewhat similar to Chen Feng's.

Could it be Chen Feng's mother?

She had only met Chen Feng's mother once in her two lifetimes combined. The reason she came at this time was probably because she knew Chen Feng was having a baby and was worried that no one would take care of her, so she came to support her.

That's true. As the mother-in-law, she had directly scolded Chen Guangcai, such a domineering person, and driven him away. She couldn't possibly take care of Chen Feng during her postpartum period like she did in her previous life.

To be honest, she envied Chen Feng.

Chen Feng's domineering nature indicates that no one in her family controlled her. Her parents were not like other parents who made her learn this and that, fearing that she would be disliked by her in-laws in the future.

The sentence that Song Chunxue heard most often when she was a child was that you can't do this or that. When you get married, your husband's family will be ashamed and won't let you eat at the table. You'll have to be mindful of their attitude.

It's as if she was born to be a slave in her husband's family.

In fact, she did work like a slave her whole life, but still didn't have a good ending.

Thinking of this, she threw down the corn in her hand; this work was really boring.

She needs to conserve her energy so she can deal with her mother-in-law properly when she gets home.
