Li Xiaoqin lowered her head aggrievedly: "I am young and ignorant, and I have never seen Hongmei before. I asked too rashly, so I won't ask anymore."
Here it comes again.
It was this aggrieved and weak look that always made Wang Huilian hate him.
Wang Huilian suppressed her anger and said, "Whether she calls me mother or not, Hongmei is still their mother. When she grows old, they have to take care of her and see her to the end of her life."
"If we wait another month or two, maybe Hongmei will be pregnant. When Hongmei has her own child, who will care about the others?"
Wang Huilian spoke these words quickly, urgently and loudly.
No matter how Hongmei was doing, she felt that she could not show weakness in front of Li Xiaoqin.
Otherwise, it would be even more embarrassing in front of Li Xiaoqin.
"Yes, Third Aunt also hopes that you and Changgui can have a happy marriage soon, and that the Shen family can have many children and branches."
Li Xiaoqin looked at Wang Huilian who was a little frustrated, but she was not angry at all. Instead, she smiled and expressed her hope that Shen Hongmei would have her own child as soon as possible.
Wang Huilian wanted to speak again, but Old Man Shen suddenly interrupted her: "Hongmei just came back, she didn't say anything herself, how can you know everything? Let her speak for herself."
After saying that, he looked at Shen Hongmei with a sharp gaze: "Did Changgui really ask you to come back?"
The sense of oppression from Old Man Shen made Shen Hongmei feel guilty and dared not raise her head: "Yes... he asked me to come back and stay for a few days."
"How many more days will you stay?" This time, Old Man Shen's frown could kill a fly.
"You are a newly married young wife. If you don't stay at home to help Changgui with housework and take care of the house, what are you going to live in?"
"Go back after a while. There are so many children at home. If you don't go back to take charge of the situation, how can you gain a foothold in the Zhao family?"
Old Man Shen rejected Shen Hongmei's idea of staying at home for a few days without question.
"Master, Master, please let me stay for two days, just two days. I really miss home. Besides, I told Changgui about it, and he agreed."
When Shen Hongmei heard that Old Man Shen would not let her live at home, her chest was pounding with shock. Her originally not very smart mind suddenly came up with an excuse.
"If we go back today, Changgui will feel that we are not giving him face, and it will be embarrassing for our family."
Old Man Shen looked at Shen Hongmei steadily, hoping to see some clues from her face.
Shen Hongmei was so scared that she grabbed the hem of her clothes with both hands and dared not move, for fear that her grandfather would notice something was wrong.
Although Old Man Shen had his doubts, he was a little afraid of Zhao Changgui's temper, and he couldn't send anyone to Zhaojiawan to ask. After thinking about it, he could only believe what Shen Hongmei said.
Let her stay one night and go back tomorrow. This way, even if Zhao Changgui has any ideas, he can explain them.
Old Man Shen: "Everyone has a lot of work to do at home. Stay overnight today and go back tomorrow!"
Shen Hongmei nodded happily. No matter how many days she stayed, as long as she was not allowed to go back today, it would be fine.
From being cautious and timid when he just came back, now there is finally a smile on his face.
Wang Huilian was also very happy to hear that her father-in-law let Hongmei stay overnight.
Looking at Old Man Shen's expression, he said carefully, "Hongmei finally came back, shall we make something good today?"
Afraid that Old Man Shen would disagree, Wang Huilian quickly added: "Give Dad some nourishment as well. He's been tired for a year. This is a good opportunity to nourish him together."
"When we go back and ask Changgui, not only Hongmei, but our family will also be proud of it, Dad, don't you think so?"
Old Man Shen nodded expressionlessly and said to Wang Huilian, "You decide!"
"Okay, Dad." Wang Huilian responded happily and turned around to prepare.
Wang Huilian called Shen Hongmei out for fear that she would be left alone in the room and be tricked by Li Xiaoqin, a person with a mind as sharp as a sieve.
"Hongmei, come, help your mother cook." After saying this, she winked at Shen Hongmei.
Shen Hongmei responded quickly and tried to escape from Old Man Shen's sight which was like a nail.
Li Xiaoqin put down the shoes she was working on and was about to get down to the ground: "Hongmei is a distinguished guest, how can we let her do it? Let Third Aunt come over, you just stay with your grandfather and chat."
"No, no, don't get off the ground." Wang Huilian waved her hands anxiously.
The third son's wife usually pushes the work to her, but when did she become so eager to help?
You can tell at a glance that you didn't hold your fart well.
Chen Hongmei also quickly refused: "What's the point of being a guest? It's our own home, so we don't care about that. Third Aunt, please stay here. My mother and I will be fine."
She was no longer afraid, and Shen Hongmei's eloquence returned.
She also didn't want to stay with this new Third Aunt. She always felt that her eyes were like machine guns, eager to shoot through people.
The mother and daughter refused again and again and finally did not let Li Xiaoqin go to the fields.
Seeing them pushing and shoving each other, Li Xiang, who had been silent all this time, hesitated and said: "How about I do it, I..."
"Need not."
"Need not."
Before Li Xiang could finish her words, Wang Huilian and Shen Hongmei refuted her in unison.
When it comes to Li Xiang, Shen Hongmei is not as polite as she is to the new third aunt.
Seeing that there was no room for negotiation between the mother and daughter, Li Xiang gave up the idea and did not insist any more.
After Wang Huilian and the other person left the inner room, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
In the room, Li Xiaoqin looked at Li Xiang and asked if there was something wrong with Chen Hongmei's sudden return?
Li Xiang hesitated for a moment, but finally shook her head.
I don't know if it means she doesn't know what's going on, or if it means Li Xiaoqin should just leave it alone?
Li Xiaoqin stared at the still shaking door curtain, her eyes flashing.
Her intuition told her that something must be wrong.
Otherwise, why would a new bride go back to her parents' home just after getting married?
I just don’t know if Chen Hongmei came back by herself?
Or was he chased back by Zhao Changgui?
But this matter cannot be kept secret for long, and Shen Hongmei cannot stay at home forever.
The truth will always come out.
At that time, she will just have to see how Wang Huilian will make the matter go on.
Outhouse ground.
Wang Huilian pulled Shen Hongmei to their west room, looked back, and seeing no one was there, she whispered to Shen Hongmei: "You girl, tell me the truth, what are you doing back this time? Did you have a fight with Changgui?"
No matter how stupid Wang Huilian was, she had been a daughter-in-law for decades. How could she not see that there was something wrong with Shen Hongmei?
When facing her mother alone, Shen Hongmei's original coquettishness emerged again: "My grandfather has let me live at home, mother, you still want to chase me away?"
"Oh, you silly girl, I'm your mother, how can I not do this for your own good? You also said that your grandfather lets you stay here for one day, not forever. If something goes wrong, it has to be resolved!"
Wang Huilian pointed her finger at Shen Hongmei's forehead in frustration.
It's all her fault that she was raised to be stupid and had no sense at all. She just played around all day long.
