That night, Huang Yuan and Zhou Ying slept fully clothed on a broken wooden plank. The plank was so narrow that they could fall off if they turned over. It could be said that neither of them slept all night.

They didn't sleep all night, but Qin Xiaoxiao slept very well.

Qin Xiaoxiao was right next to Old Mrs. Qin, and Qin Yue was on her other side. Qin Xiaoxiao clung tightly to Old Mrs. Qin's arm and wouldn't let go, while Qin Yue slept with her arms around her waist all night.

This is because Su Lu has gotten used to sleeping with his arm around her waist every day; otherwise, Qin Xiaoxiao would probably have suffered from insomnia all night.

Although Qin Aiguo, who was sleeping on the kang (a heated brick bed), had two granddaughters sleeping in the same room, he was able to sleep peacefully because Su Lu, who was bothering him, was not there.

When Qin Xiaoxiao woke up the next morning, she stretched happily, glanced at the old lady Qin on her right, saw that she was still sleeping, and couldn't help but kiss her on the cheek.

Right after the kiss, Grandma Qin opened her eyes and looked at Qin Xiaoxiao with a smile.

"Grandma's face is full of wrinkles, how could you bring yourself to kiss her?"

Qin Xiaoxiao hugged Grandma Chun's arm affectionately, "Why can't I bring myself to kiss you? You're my own grandma, and you're so beautiful. It would be a good thing for me to kiss you."

On the other side, Qin Aiguo, who had been awake for a while, nodded in agreement, "Absolutely, you got a great deal."

You've already let me kiss your wife, so you're not taking advantage of me.

Qin Yue woke up when she heard them talking. She lay on her pillow and looked at Qin Xiaoxiao with her face turned to the side. "My sister is pretty. She takes after her grandma."

With just one sentence praising two people, who were the two most authoritative women in the family, Qin Xiaoxiao and Old Mrs. Qin were naturally happy to offer a smile in return.

"As expected of my sister, she has such a sweet tongue."

He turned around and kissed Qin Yue, making her giggle in bed.

Grandma Qin sat up with a smile, "You're all making a ruckus so early in the morning. Get up and go help your aunt make breakfast."

One of them slapped the other, and the two of them quickly got up and dressed, clutching their buttocks. Qin Xiaoxiao got off the ground first and rushed to the kitchen.

Ma Dahua was already in the kitchen when Qin Xiaoxiao saw her tending the fire and quickly took over.

"Auntie, what would you like to eat for breakfast? I'd like some porridge, millet porridge."

Qin Yue, who was a step too late, happily skipped into the kitchen, "I want to drink millet porridge too!"

Ma Dahua smiled at the two sisters and said, "Okay, let's make millet porridge."

Turning around, I opened the kitchen cabinet, scooped out a bowl of millet, washed it, and set it aside, waiting for the water in the pot to boil before making millet porridge.

Grandma Qin walked into the kitchen and said, "You just spoil them."

Ma Dahua didn't take it to heart, wiping her hands. "They're my own children, if I don't spoil them, who else should I spoil? Yueyue is still young, her little body hasn't fully recovered yet, millet porridge is good for her, it's just right for her."

Grandma Qin smiled with satisfaction, "Did you hear that? It's only because your aunt is willing to indulge you. If it were me, I wouldn't care whether I eat it or not."

From now on, you all must take good care of your aunt. If you dare to be disrespectful to her, I will not let you off the hook.

Ma Dahua looked at Old Mrs. Qin with emotion, then lowered her head and wiped her eyes.

After so many years of marriage, her mother-in-law has always treated her well. All she did was cook millet porridge to please her two children, and her mother-in-law told them to be filial to her in the future, so they would be glad they married the right person.

It's often said that marrying a good mother-in-law is worse than marrying a good man, and that's absolutely true.

When Grandma Qin saw Ma Dahua lower her head, she knew that her daughter-in-law had been moved by her again.

While Ma Dahua wasn't paying attention, Old Mrs. Qin rolled her eyes.

As always, just two sentences were enough to move me; my eldest son's wife cries so easily.

She said you can't be nice to her, otherwise she'll cry all day long, who can stand that!

"Mom, what's for breakfast?"

Qin Feng rubbed his eyes as he entered the kitchen, and when he looked up, he saw his wife looking at him with red eyes.

Qin Feng was taken aback, and slowly turned his head to look at Old Madam Qin.

What touching words did his mother say this time? Look how moved his wife is, she's crying again.

Old Mrs. Qin was reluctant to speak ill of her daughter-in-law, but she was quite rude to her son.

"Eat, eat, all you ever do is eat. What haven't you eaten yourself to death?"

Qin Feng choked, opened his mouth, and silently retreated.

He shouldn't have gone into the kitchen.

This whole thing is a mess. I got scolded first thing this morning. No way, he'll have to get revenge on someone else later.

Seeing Qin Feng leave dejectedly, Qin Xiaoxiao covered her mouth and chuckled, then sat down to help Aunt Ma tend the fire.

Besides making porridge, Ma Dahua also made cornbread, mixed a tomato with sugar, smashed cucumber with salt and garlic, and added a couple of drops of sesame oil. It smelled so good that it made my mouth water.

After Ma Dahua finished cooking, the whole family sat down at the table.

Su Yun and Qin Ye woke up late today and didn't come out until after breakfast, which earned them a teasing look from Qin Xiaoxiao.

Su Yun sat down next to Qin Ye, her face flushed, to eat. The food was so delicious she could barely swallow, but she couldn't eat a bite.

Seeing this, Qin Ye glared at Qin Xiaoxiao angrily.

Qin Xiaoxiao wouldn't tolerate him, and immediately complained to him.

"Grandma, my brother is glaring at me."

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Qin raised her hand and slapped Qin Ye.

"Looking for trouble so early in the morning, huh? Why are you glaring at your sister for no reason? I think you're just looking for trouble because you're full. If you're not going to eat, then go downstairs."

Qin Ye naturally couldn't skip eating; he was counting on eating more this morning so he could do more work in the fields later. Otherwise, if he couldn't finish his work, who would help his wife with hers?

Qin Ye didn't dodge and took the blow from Old Madam Qin head-on.

"Grandma, you just spoil her, don't you see her making fun of your granddaughter-in-law?"

Grandma Qin glared at Qin Ye fiercely, then turned to Qin Xiaoxiao and said, "Grandma got revenge for you. She hit him and glared at him. Are you happy now?"

Qin Xiaoxiao nodded and glanced at Qin Ye triumphantly, "Yes, I'm happy. Grandma still cares about me the most."

Grandma Qin then added, "I don't feel sorry for you, but I do feel sorry for my granddaughter-in-law. Don't make fun of your sister-in-law next time, or Grandma will beat you too."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ye quickly looked up at Qin Xiaoxiao with a smug expression, and Xiaoxiao reported back.

"Did you hear that? Grandma said she also feels sorry for her granddaughter-in-law."

Qin Xiaoxiao protested, "Grandma, look at my brother!"

Grandma Qin quickly turned around and glared at Qin Ye, "Eat your food, you're not allowed to bully your sister."

Qin Xiaoxiao became smug again, which made Qin Ye want to glare at her again. Fortunately, Su Yun stopped him, otherwise he would definitely have gotten another beating from Old Madam Qin.

Su Yun didn't care that Old Madam Qin doted on Qin Xiaoxiao more, nor was she jealous that Old Madam Qin hit her husband because of Qin Xiaoxiao. She only lamented that Qin Xiaoxiao was too pampered and that the Qin family had too good a relationship. This was hardly a lesson; it was just a joke!

She wasn't stupid; of course she could see that Old Mrs. Qin was speaking to her, clearly telling her that she protected her granddaughter, but also her, and wouldn't suppress her because of her granddaughter.

The Qin family gave Su Yun a strong sense of security, making her feel no fear in this semi-unfamiliar environment. Instead, she looked forward to what interesting things might happen the next day.
