After giving birth to five sons, the Old Shen family in Lotus Village finally got their wish for a precious daughter!
What, a long drought with no rain? Little Dragon Liu waves her hand, and ...
When Shen Wanli returned home, he had a sour face.
Tian Guifen hurriedly asked, "How is it?"
Shen Wanli was about to speak when he saw Liu Liu and Tian Tian, and swallowed his words.
He couldn't very well say in front of his two children that the village chief and his son smelled fishy and muttony, could he?
So Shen Wanli simply nodded: "One hundred coins per trip, agreed. But it seems Fu is not too satisfied."
"It's just escorting a cart, anyone can do that. A hundred big coins a time and he's still not satisfied? Why doesn't he just fly to the moon?"
Tian Guifen got angry and immediately grabbed a rag and started throwing it around to vent her dissatisfaction.
Actually, Tian Guifen didn't need anyone to persuade her; she knew what was going on, but she still felt uncomfortable.
I knew the village chief was greedy, but I didn't expect him to be so blatant in his greed.
"Mommy, don't be angry. We've made a promise."
The sweet little Shen Liuliu immediately came to comfort her mother.
Why are you angry?
Didn't we already discuss how to deal with the village chief and his son?
If they weren't greedy, the plan wouldn't be so easy to implement.
Tian Guifen felt much more relieved after remembering what they had discussed before.
She nodded, hummed twice, and then said nothing more.
Shen Tiantian, standing to the side, continued making shoe patterns with a somewhat dejected expression, but she was clearly distracted.
It feels really bad to be excluded.
But she knew she shouldn't be ungrateful...
"Oh, right, I'll take two jars of wine with me to Second Brother's for dinner later."
"It's only right. My second brother and sister-in-law saw that we were busy and offered to let the old man and woman stay with them for another two months, and then rotate every three months. It's just a favor."
Otherwise, the old lady and gentleman would have come to their house last month.
Tian Guifen was a grateful person, so she busied herself getting a piece of cloth and two large pieces of meat, which she gave to Shen Wanli and his son to carry together.
"Oh, and remember not to mention Da Linzi's marriage, so as not to upset your second sister-in-law."
Tian Guifen thought of something and gave a word of advice.
We had agreed to meet a month ago, but the girl suddenly changed her mind and refused to go through with it.
Although Tian Guifen was somewhat disappointed, she was alright. However, Xiao Zhou was so anxious and upset that she developed blisters all over her mouth.
I heard that when my niece returned to her parents' home later, she was scolded by Xiao Zhou.
This guy is so careless; let's not bring this up again later.
"knew."
Shen Wanli was a little impatient, but he was secretly delighted.
My own daughter-in-law is too soft-hearted!
"Mom, what are we having for dinner? I'll make it." Wang Xiuhe came out with a full stomach, her face pale and sallow.
Shen Liuliu immediately ran over, grabbed her sister-in-law's hand tightly, and began to channel her magic.
After the procedure, Wang Xiuhe felt much better, but she was still exhausted.
Tian Guifen knew about her daughter-in-law's situation and hurriedly told her to go back to her room to rest: "How many times have I told you, I'll cook from now on, why don't you listen?"
"That's right, sister-in-law, I'm here for you. I'll help Mom with the cooking."
Eight-year-old Shen Tiantian can already cook many kinds of dishes.
I owe this skill to the Zhou couple.
"I know, but I'm just sitting here all day anyway..."
Actually, as a daughter-in-law, how could I dare to just sit by and watch my mother-in-law busy herself?
My mother-in-law hasn't said anything yet, but it won't do if I continue to be oblivious to things.
"Alright, go and rest. Your pregnancy isn't going well this time, so be careful." Tian Guifen didn't make a fuss.
Now that her daughter-in-law is pregnant and her condition isn't very good, how could she possibly let her daughter-in-law do all the chores?
She has a daughter of her own, and she would never do anything to mistreat her daughter-in-law.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mother."
She was really exhausted, so she didn't try to push herself.
Nothing is more important now than her safe delivery.
"Mother, please ask the physician Chengfu to take a look!"
Shen Liuliu said seriously.
Although she didn't know anything about medicine, seeing her sister-in-law in so much pain, she felt it would be best to see a doctor.
Tian Guifen frowned: "Isn't it unnecessary? Pregnancy is never easy for a woman."
"Yes, thank you, Liu Liu. But it's really not necessary to go to the city government to call a doctor."
Wang Xiuhe also agreed with her mother-in-law's point of view.
She's given birth before, why is she being so dramatic?
Shen Liuliu stomped her foot angrily: "Fine! I'll talk to Daddy!"
I'm clearly feeling unwell now, should I just endure it?
This is not something we can tolerate!
"You silly girl, alright. Next time you go to the city to deliver wine, I'll have your older brother accompany your sister-in-law to take a look."
Tian Guifen thought that the family was now financially better off, so it wouldn't hurt to find a doctor to check on her daughter-in-law.
After all, carrying twins is quite different from carrying one.
"Thank you, Mother, thank you, Liu Liu." Wang Xiuhe felt grateful and felt even more affection for her sister-in-law. "Liu Liu, come here. The shoe uppers that your sister-in-law made for you are finished, but I don't know what to embroider yet. Come and choose a pattern yourself."
"Okay, okay."
Shen Liuliu had seen her sister-in-law's embroidery before; it was incredibly beautiful.
She likes it!
Wang Xiuhe smiled gently and waved to Shen Tiantian, who looked a little down: "Tiantian, come and choose one too. After I finish making one for Liu Liu, I'll make one for you."
"Is there any left for me?" Shen Tiantian was pleasantly surprised, but then refused, "Sister-in-law, you're so tired, you shouldn't make any for me, don't tire yourself out."
"It's just making a little shoe, it's not tiring at all, come on over."
Wang Xiuhe, with her hands supporting her waist, slowly walked back to the east wing.
Shen Liuliu and Shen Tiantian followed as well.
“Here, these are all patterns. You two can choose.” Wang Xiuhe took out a packet of embroidery patterns.
It's clear that Wang Xiuhe really enjoys embroidery, and she is indeed quite good at it.
"Ugh, Mother." Daqiao groggily sat up and murmured, calling for her mother.
Shen Liuliu immediately put her hands on her hips, her small voice as high-pitched as a whistle: "Nephew, why don't you call me auntie!"
Daqiao's face stiffened.
“Daqiao, call me Auntie.” Wang Xiuhe chuckled.
The eldest son is always very resistant to calling Shen Liuliu, who is five years younger than him, "aunt," which is really something else.
When Liu Liu was little, she loved to fight with Xiao Lou, but unexpectedly, once Liu Liu started speaking fluently, she started arguing with Da Qiao every day.
Having been ordered by her mother, Daqiao grumbled twice and reluctantly called out, "Little Aunt."
Then she called out to Chen Tiantian, "Aunt Tiantian~"
"Why are you calling me auntie!" Shen Liuliu was being unreasonable.
Daqiao's annoyed backside was facing her.
Why are there so many problems?
Women are so troublesome!
"Hey, you brat!" Shen Liuliu climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed) and kicked his nephew.
Suddenly, Daqiao noticed the string of pearls on Shen Liuliu's head. His eyes lit up, and he jumped up, excitedly shouting, "Auntie, can I have these pearls after you die?"
Shen Liuliu: ...
She's only three and a half years old!
Her nephew is actually eyeing her inheritance?!
