Actually, she wasn't familiar with Er Ya at first. After all, Er Ya was the kind of person who sometimes wouldn't say a word all day and just kept working.

She became acquainted with Er Ya because Er Ya fainted from hunger one time, and she saw it and fed her some food in time. After Er Ya woke up, she left without saying a word. Anyway, she didn't save her for the sake of gratitude, so she didn't take it seriously.

Who knew that Er Ya would remember her? The next day, she brought her a handful of wild fruit. Unable to refuse, she picked one up and tried it. It tasted wonderful, very sweet, just the way she liked it. Seeing that she liked it, Er Ya gave her all the wild fruit in her hand and then ran away.

She and Er Ya gradually became familiar with each other. She brought Er Ya food such as cornbread, and Er Ya would sometimes bring her wild fruits she found in the mountains.

Although the two of them didn't say much, he had already decided that Er Ya was his friend.

Er Ya hadn't come to see her for a while, which made her very sad. Sometimes when she met Er Ya, Er Ya wasn't as warm towards her as before, which made her sad for a while.

Before they could even exchange a few warm words, Wang Hong came out carrying a basket, calling to Lin Xiaoyu to hurry home and not bother Er Ya. Hearing her grandmother speak, Lin Xiaoyu could only reluctantly wave goodbye to Er Ya and whisper:

"Don't act like you don't know me next time, or I'll really get angry and cry in front of you."

Er Ya nodded, indicating that she understood. Lin Xiaoyu then skipped home with Wang Hong. On the way, Wang Hong scolded her a few times, saying that she didn't walk like a proper young lady.

Almost all the familiar families in the village had arrived, except for Old Lady Shen and Madam Niu, who remained silent. Perhaps Lin Jianguo had mentioned something when he went to the old house, because the next day, Old Lady Shen and Madam Niu came to visit Jiang's mother, carrying baskets and swaying leisurely.

As soon as she entered the house, Niu Shi began to criticize the furnishings, finding fault with everything. Jiang's mother's face darkened at this. Then, Niu Shi went up to Jiang's mother, looked at the baby lying next to her, and said, "Sister-in-law, I think your child is very weak. I'm afraid he won't be easy to raise."

Jiang's mother threw a pillow at her after hearing that, and said angrily, "Are you blind? My son is so chubby, how can you tell he's weak? If you can't speak properly, then get out of here. I don't need you to come see me."

It's no wonder that Jiang's usually good-tempered mother was angry. Who talks to a newborn like that? Besides, she had taken good care of this baby. At first, everyone thought she was having twins. You can imagine how chubby the newborn must have been.

Madam Niu spat, "Who do you think cares? It's just a son. You're acting like everyone else is incapable of having children. My son is almost ten years old. He's better than your son who you don't even know if you can raise."

Chen Xiuhua was displeased upon hearing this: "Sister-in-law, do you even know how to talk like a human being? Didn't you hear what my daughter said? She doesn't welcome you. You'd better leave now, or who knows what this old woman might do in a little while."

If it weren't for her son-in-law's sake, given her temper, she would have slapped him across the face just now.

Madam Niu snorted, about to say a few more words, but seeing the unpleasant expressions on Chen Xiuhua and Old Lady Shen's faces, she swayed away, adding fuel to the fire as she left:

"Look, sister-in-law, if you don't welcome me, I'll just leave. Don't be angry, or you'll ruin your health. If you make the second brother find a stepmother for Er Ya like Lin Shitou did, then Er Ya will be the next Lin Xiao, hahaha."

"roll……".

Seeing that Jiang's mother was angry, Old Mrs. Shen also felt that what Niu said was really a bit too much. It's one thing to curse the second son's family, but how could you even talk about my little grandson? Look at his chubby and fair appearance, how adorable he is!

He handed the basket he was carrying to Chen Xiuhua and said, "Mother-in-law, these are the eggs I've saved up. Take them to Er Ya's mother to help her recover. Don't take my eldest daughter-in-law's words to heart. She's a brainless idiot."

You can't hit a smiling face, after all, she's my daughter's mother-in-law. She was talking to me with a smile, and I couldn't very well embarrass her. I took the basket and saw that it was very light, with about ten eggs inside.

"Oh, my dear mother-in-law, your chicken is so useless! It only managed to collect a few eggs. That's not even enough for my daughter's daily meals."

Grandma Shen knew she hadn't taken much, so she pretended not to hear and continued to play with the baby.

While calling her her "darling" and "precious darling," she acted like she favored boys over girls, and Er Ya didn't ask her a single question from beginning to end.

Fortunately, Er Ya went to the market with Lin Jianguo today and didn't hear Niu Shi's outrageous words, otherwise she would definitely have caused another big scene.

"Second brother's wife, you take good care of the baby. I'm leaving now. I'll come back for the full moon celebration."

After saying that, she swaggered away without offering any help, as if he wasn't her grandson. Jiang's mother was already used to this kind of old lady Shen, and was actually glad that she left, otherwise she would have argued with her if she had said a few more words.

"Waaaaah!" The baby cried. Jiang's mother opened the diaper and saw that he had wet himself. She took a clean diaper and changed him. Only then did the little guy drink his milk with relish.

Chen Xiuhua said with a laugh, "This little guy is quite clean. He needs to be changed every time he poops or pees, otherwise he'll keep crying. He'll be a tough kid when he grows up."

The baby drank milk, humming and cooing in response to Chen Xiuhua's words, its big eyes darting around, curiously observing the world.

Jiang's mother touched the baby's little face: "That's right. At first, we didn't know why he was fussing. It was Er Ya who found out. You know, in our rural families, babies don't need their diapers changed for half a day. Some are even dried out before we change them. I don't know who this child takes after. He's a boy, but he's quite clean."

"It's better to be clean. If I marry a girl from the city, she'll have to be as dirty as a village girl to be considered good."

Jiang's mother said apologetically, "It's just that I'm troubling you, Mother. I said I'd wash it, but you wouldn't let me. Look, you've already washed it several times in such a short time. And my mother-in-law is someone I can't rely on."

Chen Xiuhua rolled her eyes and said, "I came here to serve you. How could I let you wash diapers during your postpartum period? Besides, I'd be happy to wash my grandson's diapers."
