Seeing the mysterious Gaixian, Aunt Xiumei calmed down a bit and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Come, sit over here." After saying that, he pulled Aunt Xiumei to sit under the shade of a tree on the side, and then continued, "Look at Ma Shufen, she came here just to ask for money. She couldn't find any fault with you in the first place, and now you're going over there and delivering it to her door. Even if you don't give it, she has no reason to ask for it, and that would just cause trouble for nothing. Besides, isn't Nanqiao girl coming here in the afternoon? It's not appropriate to make our room so awkward when she comes to our house."

Aunt Xiumei became even angrier when she mentioned asking for money, but when she mentioned that Nanqiao was coming today, her anger subsided a lot. The gap between her family and Nanqiao's family was too big, and she couldn't hold Chuanzi back at this time, so she made up her mind and sat down.

But then he thought again, "No, I don't know when this old woman will leave. If I stay until the afternoon and run into Nanqiao, wouldn't that be inappropriate?"

"What are you afraid of? Can't we see the visitors from our eldest daughter-in-law's family? We didn't make trouble for her, so what's inappropriate? Besides, wasn't Chuanzi here this afternoon? If her precious son is not afraid of being beaten, he can do whatever he wants." Aunt Gaixian said with a wry smile. After she said this, she realized that Sheng Yanchuan's reputation in this regard was not very good. As an elder, it was indeed inappropriate for her to say this in front of someone else's mother.

Aunt Xiumei looked at her expression, smiled and said, "It's nothing. We've been neighbors for so many years, and everyone knows each other's family. That boy has been like that since he was a child, so I'm not wrong about him."

"Well, let's not talk about this. Anyway, don't rush over. They might be waiting for you." Aunt Gaixian reminded her again.

"I understand. Okay, I'll go tell Junzi and let Yaya stay with us for the next few days."

"Okay, then go ahead." Aunt Gaixian waved her hand and stood up to continue working.

In the past few days, the village has selected several men to reclaim wasteland. Sheng Yanjun happened to be one of them. There were a lot of gravels on the land, which was very difficult to clean up. After half a morning of hard work, it was more tiring than a whole morning of work in the past. Fortunately, today's work can be doubled, but it is worth it.

Sheng Yanjun, who was bending over to work, suddenly heard Aunt Xiumei's voice from behind. Sheng Yanjun turned around in surprise, wondering why Aunt Xiumei was here at this time.

"Junzi, Yaya is staying with us these days, go back and tell your wife."

Sheng Yanjun looked up and saw Aunt Gaixian holding Yaya. He thought that Aunt Gaixian saw that they had just started working and it was not easy, so she wanted to help take care of her. He felt warm in his heart, so he explained, "It's okay, Mom. We can do it. We may not be used to it at first, but it will be fine slowly."

"Who cares whether it's easy for you two, it will be fine slowly. I'm just afraid that my Yaya will be lost by then. Anyway, Yaya will stay at my place for the next few days, you can tell her when you go back." After saying that, he turned and left

Only Sheng Yanjun was left standing there dumbfounded... I was wrong...

Sheng Yanjun didn't understand what happened until he saw Aunt Xiumei walking away, but since she was the child's grandmother, he just took her with him and continued with his work.

After finishing work in the morning, Sheng Yanjun, who was too tired to talk, dragged his tired body towards home. As soon as he reached the gate of the yard, he smelled the aroma of meat coming from the yard. He thought Huiping knew that he had worked hard these days and rewarded him specially. His tired face also had some spirit.

"Huiping, are you ready to stew the meat? Today's work is indeed..." Sheng Yanjun pushed open the courtyard door. Before he could finish his words, he saw Ma Shufen and her daughter sitting at the dining table at the kitchen door, feasting on their food. They looked like they hadn't eaten for years, with their mouths full of broth. Sheng Yanjun looked at them with disgust, but still called out to them.

"Mom and He Ping are here."

Ma Shufen looked up at Sheng Yanjun after hearing that. Thinking that it was her son-in-law's house after all, she said perfunctorily, "Junzi is back, let's eat quickly. Mom and Goudan are hungry so they can eat first. Don't mind. Huiping, hurry up and serve Junzi another bowl of rice."

"Well, you eat first, I'll go wash up first." Sheng Yanjun said and turned to wash his face. When he sat down at the table, Ma Shufen and Goudan had already finished their meal. They were sitting on the chairs, stroking their round bellies and smacking their lips, looking very satisfied.

Seeing Sheng Yanjun coming over, Ma Shufen said, "Junzi, you must be tired from work. Eat more. Look how nice your wife is. She knows you are tired, so she specially stewed meat for you."

Sheng Yanjun looked at the almost empty bowl on the table. The two of them only had some broth and potatoes left. The large pieces of meat were basically eaten up, and only a few pieces of minced meat could be picked out.

If I'm not mistaken, the two of them should have been eating pure rice just now. What were the sweet potatoes mixed in the rice in his and Huiping's bowls?

Sheng Yanjun did not respond to Ma Shufen's words. He looked at Huiping with a somewhat unhappy expression. Huiping looked away unnaturally and ate the sweet potatoes in the bowl absent-mindedly. I don't know what she was thinking.

Sheng Yanjun looked at Ma Shufen and her son. Even though he was very dissatisfied, he gave his wife enough face. He said nothing and buried his head in eating. He was really tired and hungry after working for a whole morning, so he didn't want to care about these things now.

After eating a few bites, Sheng Yanjun suddenly thought of Yaya and asked, "Yaya has been with my mom these days. By the way, why did Yaya go to my mom's place?"

"I...I didn't know she went to mom's place," Hui Ping said stutteringly.

Sheng Yanjun's face was a little embarrassed now. He knew Huiping was patriarchal and had always wanted a son, so she didn't pay much attention to Yaya. But now it was obvious that Huiping didn't know where Yaya was and didn't go to look for her. Instead, she was stewing meat for her mother and brother!

Sheng Yanjun became more and more angry, and slammed the bowl on the table.
