Chapter 80 The Arrival of Sister-in-Law Ji Zhenzhu

A faint smile appeared on Wang Yuqing's lips. To be honest, she was really reluctant to give up her seat.

Ji Xuening's brows relaxed, and he said, "I'll go get you some food first." As he turned to leave, a silent smile crept onto his thin lips.

Within a minute or two, he brought in a large bowl of corn porridge and a sweet potato pancake and handed them to Wang Yuqing.

Wang Yuqing got up after eating and drinking her fill.

When the three children saw her leave the room, they all surrounded her with concern, asking if her head still hurt or if she felt uncomfortable anywhere else.

Ji Meimei even tiptoed and reached out her little hand to touch her forehead, her eyes sparkling: "It's not hot anymore..."

Wang Yuqing suddenly remembered that last night, in her hazy state, a rough hand would occasionally touch her forehead. She secretly glanced at Ji Xuening, and her heart fluttered.

In the afternoon, Ji Xuening was making a plank in the main room, while Wang Yuqing was busy with her snails again. She picked out the snails that she thought were not good, then cooked them over a high flame, crushed them, and put them into the pig feed to feed the pigs.

Ji Xiaoming is a lively and talkative person. He praised her, saying, "Mom, you are amazing. In less than half a month, I can see that our pig has gotten much fatter. It is smaller than Er Gou's pig, but much fatter."

Wang Yuqing said with a hint of pride, "Of course I'm good."

Ji Daming was doing his homework when he looked up and smiled.

Grandma Ji sat down beside him and said with a smile, "Fourth brother, you'll have to listen to Yuqing when it comes to raising pigs. She knows a lot about it."

Hearing this, Wang Yuqing felt a little embarrassed. After all, she was a person from the 21st century, with prophetic abilities, and had more exposure and knowledge. However, she only knew a little bit about pig farming, and was nowhere near as knowledgeable as Ji Xuening.

However, she clearly saw a hint of admiration flash across Ji Xuening's eyes, which made her even more embarrassed.

Just then, the rain outside stopped, a sliver of sunlight peeked through the clouds, the sky was a pale blue with wisps of clouds, and a vibrant rainbow hung in the sky, like a bridge.

Wang Yuqing couldn't help but run out and look up. She couldn't remember how many years it had been since she had seen a rainbow, let alone such a clean and beautiful sky.

I felt refreshed, relaxed, and peaceful.

Just then, a woman tiptoed over. She paused for a moment when she saw Wang Yuqing, then asked in a low voice, "Who are you? My brother's unmarried new wife?"

Wang Yuqing gave the woman a quick look. She wore a gray top and coarse cloth mid-calf pants with several patches, and men's sandals.

He was very thin, with a sallow complexion and a bitter look on his face.

However, her features are not bad, but her complexion is too poor, and she has heavy eye bags and dark circles, which shows that she must be very hardworking on a daily basis.

The woman was also looking her over, her eyes revealing surprise and amazement. After all, Wang Yuqing was even more beautiful than she had imagined, and she didn't have the same rustic air as them.

Wang Yuqing replied gently, "I am, and you are?"

The woman forced a friendly smile: "I am Ji Xuening's older sister, Ji Zhenzhu."

Wang Yuqing hurriedly said, "Oh, you're my sister-in-law. Come in quickly. It's raining today, so they're all at home."

Ji Zhenzhu didn't lift her foot, but took a few steps back, trying to hide behind a tree, and said in a low voice, "I won't go in. I'm just taking advantage of the rain and not working today to bring you some things."

She handed a package to Wang Yuqing, then peeked into the house a few times, saying apologetically, "I was going to leave it at the door, but I saw you here. Grandma was sick last time, and you didn't even tell me. I only found out by chance. There's some flour in here, a few dollars, and oh, and a few pieces of candy for the children."

She lowered her head again, tugging at the hem of her clothes: "I also made you a pair of shoes, but they weren't very good, and I didn't know your size, so I made them according to my feet."

Wang Yuqing said gratefully, "Auntie, thank you so much. You even made shoes for me. I haven't given you anything nice. I've heard that you're very skilled. You can make clothes and shoes. You're so clever and skillful. I admire you from the bottom of my heart."

Ji Zhenzhu was surprised by Wang Yuqing's gentle and amiable attitude. She smiled and said, "Now that you've entered the Ji family, as your sister-in-law, I must give you something. It's just that these shoes are too shabby."

Wang Yuqing hugged it to her chest: "What do you mean by shabby? I like it. I just happen to not have any shoes to wear."

Ji Zhenzhu stared at Wang Yuqing for a long time. She didn't seem to be the person everyone was talking about, saying that she was fierce, shrewish, and unreasonable...

Wang Yuqing didn't mind her scrutiny, and even guessed what she was thinking.

Ji Zhenzhu realized she had been staring for too long and felt a little embarrassed. She said, "Fourth brother is an honest and capable man. You two should live a good life from now on. He won't treat you badly."

After saying that, she peeked into the house a few more times, but because the view was blocked, she couldn't see the people inside. She sighed with slight disappointment, "I'll go back now, I have a lot of things to do at home."

Wang Yuqing grabbed her hand and said, "Aren't you going to come in and sit down? You're back in your own home, not someone else's. Why don't you have dinner? Grandma misses you, and the children miss you too."

Upon hearing this, Ji Zhenzhu's eyes reddened, and she lowered her head, saying, "I won't go in. What would I do if I went in... I don't have the face to go in..."

Wang Yuqing didn't quite understand, but she could tell that Ji Zhenzhu wanted to see Grandma Ji and the three children, and that she was a very kind person.

She wouldn't let her leave: "You've come all this way, you definitely have to come in. I'm going to make snails tonight, I'll make some for you to take back and eat, come in."

Wang Yuqing pulled her inside.

Ji Zhenzhu struggled free, took a breath, and shook her head: "I'm not going in. Thank you for your kindness, but I have too much work to do at home and I need to get back to finish it."

Just then, Ji Xuening came out. His usually calm and clear eyes showed surprise when he saw Ji Zhenzhu. He then strode over and said in a somewhat surprised tone, "Sister, why are you back? It's been so long..."

Ji Zhenzhu's eyes reddened even more: "Yes, I haven't been home for more than two years. How are you? How are Grandma and the children?"

Ji Xuening said, "We're all doing well. How about you?"

Ji Zhenzhu's face stiffened for a moment, then she quickly forced a smile: "I'm doing well too. Life is peaceful and quiet. I go to work and come home every day."

Wang Yuqing was very good at reading people. She felt that Ji Zhenzhu was lying. If she was doing well, it was impossible for her not to go home for more than two years. Besides, her husband's family was only five or six hours away from her parents' family.

I suddenly remembered what Grandma Ji said: Ji Zhenzhu has never had a child. In this day and age, women who don't have children are despised. If their in-laws aren't good people, they might even be beaten, let alone be scorned.

Ji Xuening didn't seem happy to hear Ji Zhenzhu's words; instead, his expression became even more serious. He changed the subject: "Let me introduce you. This is Ms. Wang Yuqing, the woman my grandfather arranged for me when we were children. We haven't gotten our marriage certificate yet."

Wang Yuqing glanced at his calm profile, then pouted unhappily; the introduction was too unfamiliar.
