The Nan family is in a happy mood, but the atmosphere in Xiuping's shop on the next street is not so good either.

Aunt Xiumei had a gloomy face. As her daughter-in-law, she only knew about this from someone else, and she was the last one to know.

This matter originated from the idle chat of a customer in the store. Those people were gossiping, and Aunt Xiumei was busy in the store and didn't pay much attention. After all, everyone would chat at the dinner table, and she couldn't control what they talked about.

But when she passed by, she was stopped by the woman.

"Xiumei, I remember that girl from the neighboring street is your daughter-in-law, congratulations!" The woman congratulated Aunt Xiumei warmly, but Aunt Xiumei was confused. What good could she be happy about...

"Congratulations?" Aunt Xiumei asked in confusion.

The slightly younger woman sitting next to the woman said, "Yes, we ran into their two newly hired nannies while buying groceries some time ago. After chatting for a while, we learned that your second daughter-in-law is pregnant. Shouldn't we congratulate you?"

During this period, because Nanqiao was pregnant, the ingredients bought were fine and abundant. The regular vegetables and meat were still delivered by Chaoyang, and other surprises and more exquisite ones were bought by Sister Li and Sister Wang. During this period, they basically went shopping early in the morning every day. After a long time, the residents around knew that she was the new nanny of Nanqiao's family, so they would chat with her when they met. Especially Li Yan's cooking skills were good, and many people wanted to learn cooking skills from her. As a result, they became familiar with the neighbors around them. In addition, Nanqiao's pregnancy was no secret, so they chatted with her for a while.

As soon as these words came out, Aunt Xiumei's face couldn't help but darken. Pregnancy? Two newly hired nannies? Is she, the mother-in-law, just a decoration? She didn't even like Aunt Zhou. Not only did the couple hire two more nannies, but now she didn't even tell them that she was pregnant.

Suddenly, Aunt Xiumei's face looked extremely ugly.

The younger woman looked at Aunt Xiumei's expression and was confused. Isn't this a good thing? Why does the mother-in-law have such an expression? It was not until Aunt Xiumei left without saying a word that the two women looked at each other, puzzled, but it was only for a moment. After all, this was someone else's family matter. They said this just to sell it well. After all, she was the daughter of Director Nan. As for what Xiumei thought, they didn't care.

Aunt Xiumei left with a dark face, and did not stay in the store. She returned home angrily. It was not until Huiping closed the store in the evening that Sheng's father Sheng Yanjun and Huiping came back together. They turned on the lights and looked at Aunt Xiumei sitting in the living room. However, seeing that her mother-in-law looked unhappy, she could not find Aunt Xiumei in the afternoon, so she stopped herself from asking questions.

"Mom, I don't know what happened to grandma. She just sat there when she came back and didn't move." Yaya came over and whispered to Huiping

Hui Ping nodded and waved her hand to let the two children go back to the house to rest. She then said, "Mom, what's wrong with you? It's scary. You don't even turn on the lights."

After Huiping asked, Aunt Xiumei remained motionless with a gloomy face, looking Huiping up and down.

"The Nanqiao family hired two more nannies, did you know?"

Hui Ping was a little surprised, but still shook her head. She was busy with the store during this period and really didn't know what was going on in Nanqiao. The few times she went there, she just gave her some things and left without even entering the house. How could she know what was going on in her family?

"Then do you know that Nanqiao is pregnant?"

Aunt Xiumei asked, Huiping was stunned for a moment, she hadn't heard her say that...but...

"She seems to have gained some weight, but she didn't mention anything about being pregnant."

"Hmph." Aunt Xiumei snorted at Huiping. She was the only one in the family who went there every now and then. She didn't believe that she didn't know anything.

"Nanqiao is pregnant?" After this, Father Sheng finally understood. As for why Mother Sheng was angry, although he understood, he felt that it was unnecessary...

"Yes, she's pregnant, and she hired two nannies. No... I'm just confused. I'm her mother-in-law after all. It doesn't matter if my words don't work, but why are you hiding the fact that she's pregnant now?" Aunt Xiumei was so angry that she walked around the room in circles. In her eyes, Nanqiao now looked spoiled and unreasonable, not at all as gentle and sensible as before.

"Why are you so angry? No matter how much the nanny costs, it's paid by others. Why are you so angry? As for the pregnancy... it's indeed inappropriate for them not to tell you, but..." Sheng's father didn't know how to start again. He also saw the previous conflict. Sheng Yanchuan and Nanqiao didn't tell the family probably because they didn't want Nanqiao to be upset because of this matter. What's more... he felt that his wife just couldn't swallow this breath, and she was not really angry about the matter itself.

"But what but? No matter what, I am her mother-in-law!" Aunt Xiumei shouted before Father Sheng could finish his words.

Seeing her like this, Sheng's father knew that he couldn't make sense, so he ignored her. He thought to himself that if Nanqiao was really pregnant, he or his wife would have to go and see her tomorrow. It wouldn't be appropriate for their family to stay out of the family while Nanqiao was pregnant. What happened to their family was their own business, and they couldn't let their in-laws misunderstand. When he was about to go back to his room to wash up and go to bed, Sheng's father stopped and said to Aunt Xiumei, "Prepare some milk powder, eggs, etc. tomorrow. I'll go with you to take a look."

"What are you looking at? If you want to go, go by yourself." Aunt Xiumei stiffened her neck and refused to answer.

"If you don't go, I'll go by myself." Uncle Sheng was too lazy to continue talking to her. He felt that saying more was a waste of time, so he turned around and went back to his room.

Sheng Yanjun didn't know what emotion he felt when he heard this. He just stood there for a while, then went back to the house with an embarrassed look on his face. Seeing this, Huiping followed him back, and Aunt Xiumei was the only one left in the living room.
