Er Ya, who was drinking water, overheard this and said, "My mother's belly is indeed quite big. Could it be twins?"

Jiang's mother touched her belly: "It shouldn't be. Maybe it's because I'm eating too well. Mother, you don't know, I drink tonics every day. It costs a lot of money every month just for drinking them."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiuhua quickly asked, "You bought so many things today, which means you need money right now. Do you have any money left? I have some hidden here, take it."

He stood up and went inside to get the money.

Jiang's mother quickly stopped her: "Mother, we have money now. We've divided the family property, and Er Ya has started a business and made some money."

She recounted everything that had happened recently, and when she got to the part about Old Lady Shen causing trouble at their house, Chen Xiuhua angrily cursed:

"That old hag is no good. My perfectly good daughter, in just a few years, they've ruined her. And my little granddaughter, she's so well-behaved and sensible, why can't they stand her?"

Jiang's mother tugged at her and pointed to Lin Jianguo, who was still standing nearby, before Chen Xiuhua finally calmed down.

Lin Jianguo stood up and coughed, "Mom, you two talk here first. I'm going out for a walk to see where Dad is."

Chen Xiuhua forced a smile: "Go ahead, dinner will be ready soon, don't go too far."

Lin Jianguo fled the house as if he were escaping, pacing back and forth in the yard. He came out just to give Jiang's mother and the others some space to talk.

Although he knew that his mother was sometimes a bit too much, as a son, he couldn't just sit there and listen stupidly when others were talking badly about his mother.

After watching Lin Jianguo leave, Chen Xiuhua pulled Jiang's mother aside and asked worriedly, "I said something bad about his mother, is your son-in-law angry?"

"Mother, no, your son-in-law isn't that petty."

"That's good. But it's already quite good that he's willing to stand by your side when his mother scolds you. If he also blindly listens to his mother, then your life will be even more difficult."

Er Ya chimed in from the side: "No way, my mom is amazing. If she tells my dad to go east, he won't dare go west."

Jiang's mother gently patted her: "Hurry up and drink your water. You're just a child. Don't interrupt when adults are talking."

Er Ya playfully stuck out her tongue, held the bowl, and sipped it slowly, while also listening intently to their conversation.

Hearing Er Ya's words, Chen Xiuhua was completely relieved: "It seems that your son-in-law is really good to you. But, is your business really that profitable? You've even bought a bicycle."

Jiang's mother then recounted Er Ya's amazing abilities and told her everything that had happened to her during this time.

After listening, Chen Xiuhua looked around the courtyard and whispered to Jiang's mother, "Don't say such things again. Walls have ears. Er Ya might be sent by God to protect you because He saw how hard you've suffered in this life."

"Mother, I'm just telling you this. I haven't told anyone else. But Mother, don't you think this is strange? Could there really be gods?"

Chen Xiuhua glanced at Er Ya and whispered in Jiang's mother's ear, "I've heard that some people do a lot of good deeds in their past life, and then everything they want to do in this life will come true. Maybe Er Ya is like that too. You have to treat this girl well, and you'll have your time to enjoy life in the future."

Jiang's mother nodded. She just felt that her daughter seemed like a different person, and she was afraid that she had been possessed by something evil. Hearing her mother say this, perhaps it was really because God saw that their lives were too hard and sent her daughter to help her.

If she were truly possessed by a ghost, how could she possibly be so kind to them? She would have eaten them whole! Maybe she's just pregnant and tends to overthink things.

Er Ya secretly smiled to herself: I wasn't sent by God. I came from the 21st century. I know that Jiang's mother is just worried about her, not that she has any opinion about her.

I should just be a five-year-old kid.

"Don't bring this up again. You two should just live your own lives. Don't worry about your father and me. Your sister-in-law isn't a bad person, but these days, no one has an easy life. I was giving you things before, which is why she was unhappy."

Jiang's mother nodded: "I know, Mom. Our family is doing better now. Here's ten yuan. Take it and buy whatever you and Dad want to eat."

He took out money and tried to put it into Chen Xiuhua's pocket, but Chen Xiuhua refused to accept it: "Your father and I are doing well, and we have planted so much land that we won't go hungry. You need money now."

Er Ya finished the brown sugar water in one gulp, got off the stool, and walked over to Chen Xiuhua:

"Grandma, just take it. I can still earn money. I will earn a lot of money in the future and buy you lots and lots of things."

"Yes, Mother, since Er Ya has said so, you should accept it."

Chen Xiuhua picked up Er Ya and said happily, "Okay, listen to our Er Ya. Grandma will accept the money. Grandma is looking forward to eating the things Er Ya bought."

Wang Meili came over with a smile: "What are you chatting about? You seem to be having a great time."

Those with sharp eyes noticed that Chen Xiuhua was holding a wad of cash, and her smile became even brighter. This sister-in-law is really living a good life! Look at that new bicycle, and that wad of cash she just handed over.

I originally planned to have something simple for lunch, just stir-fried some pork I brought, but I've changed my mind:

"Hey sis, let's have rice for lunch today. I brought some back from my parents' house last time, and there's still some left, but it should be enough for today."

Jiang's mother nodded: "Then I'm sorry to trouble you, sister-in-law."

Wang Meili laughed heartily: "Look at you, talking about spending money or not. Saying that is being too formal with your sister-in-law. Aren't we all family? I'll steam some egg custard for Er Ya later."

Er Ya said with a smile, "Thank you, Auntie. I love steamed egg custard the most."

Wang Meili touched Er Ya's chubby little face: "If you like it, then your aunt will steam two for you. Oh, I love this little girl so much, look how pretty she is."

He happily took a few eggs to the kitchen.

Jiang's mother couldn't just chat without helping, so she went to the kitchen as well: "Sister-in-law, you can't manage by yourself, let me lend a hand, the two of us can get it done faster."

Wang Meili couldn't refuse: "Oh, okay then. You're a good cook, so you can cook. I'll help you. I've already prepared everything, so you just need to cook it."

Jiang's mother was used to doing this, so she immediately got to work.
