Li Xiuxiu waved her hand, and hearing Wang Zhenhua's words of concern, she said shyly:
"Sister Wang, when I saw how good you were to Wei Mo, I couldn't help but think of my mother. I really envy little Wei Mo for having such a good mother like you."
Upon hearing Li Xiuxiu's words, Wang Zhenhua chuckled softly, then gently patted Li Xiuxiu's shoulder and said to her:
"You want one too? Aren't I your mom too? I'll care for you like this from now on, okay?"
As soon as Wang Zhenhua finished speaking, Li Xiuxiu blushed and said shyly:
"Sister Wang, you're joking with me again."
But Wang Zhenhua didn't take it seriously and continued to mock Li Xiuxiu:
"Where did I say something wrong? Aren't you my daughter-in-law? Aren't you my daughter too? And how can you call me Sister Wang again? Didn't we agree before that you would call me Mom?"
Wei Mo stood to the side, watching his mother tease his wife, and interrupted with a comment:
"Mom, please be gentle with my wife. If you make my wife angry and she doesn't want to marry me, then you'll have to find another wife for me."
Wang Zhenhua burst out laughing. She glanced at her son beside her; this little brat was always thinking about his wife.
She stopped teasing Li Xiuxiu and started playing with her son instead.
"You're such a big kid, and you're always talking about 'wife, wife' all the time. Aren't you ashamed? You were bedwetting last year, and now you're all grown up."
"I said a couple of things to your wife, and now you're even complaining about your own mother? Fine, fine, I won't bother with you anymore, okay? I won't talk about your wife anymore, are you happy now?"
Li Xiuxiu watched as Wang Zhenhua spoke of Xiao Weimo, her face growing increasingly red. Weimo gave Wang Zhenhua a resentful look.
They say you shouldn't hit someone in the face or expose someone's shortcomings, so why is my own mother bringing up my dark history again? What's wrong with a 6-year-old wetting the bed once?
He stubbornly said to Wang Zhenhua:
"I was only 6 years old last year. So what if I wet the bed? It's not like I wet the bed every day. It was just that one time. Mom, if you keep doing this, I'm never talking to you again."
“Xiuxiu, let’s go. We’re going out. Let’s ignore our mother.”
After Wei Mo finished speaking, he took Li Xiuxiu's hand and walked towards the door. Li Xiuxiu was feeling embarrassed, but it was good to go out so that her mother-in-law would stop teasing her.
Wang Zhenhua looked at Wei Mo, then led Xiuxiu out the door, where she burst into laughter.
Wei Mo's luggage was ready. After laughing, Wang Zhenhua went to his room to check how much Zhou Fen and Qian Manman had prepared.
Inside the room, Grandma Yu was helping Zhou Fen and Qian Manman tidy their clothes. She even slipped Qian Manman a handful of small bills and other receipts, which Qian Manman quickly declined.
"Godmother, I don't want these things. I have some things here that I don't need. You can keep these for now. I can't take your things."
Upon hearing Qian Manman's words, Grandma Yu's face immediately hardened, and she said to Qian Manman with some anger:
"You're my daughter, I'm giving you some money, what's wrong with that? Just take it, don't make me angry, you never give me a moment's peace."
After Grandma Yu finished speaking, she took out a handful of small bills and receipts and handed them to Zhou Fen. Zhou Fen stood there awkwardly, holding the receipts.
Until Wang Zhenhua entered the house, she didn't know how to refuse Grandma Yu. Grandma Yu just stared at Qian Manman and Zhou Fen. Qian Manman quickly looked to Wang Zhenhua, who had just entered the house, for help.
Unfortunately, Wang Zhenhua's words completely sided with Grandma Yu. Wang Zhenhua began by saying:
“You should take what your godmother gave you. She's just showing her concern for you. When you start earning money in the future, or when you happen to go to the city, bring her some things back for her. That will make her happy. You two are so inconsiderate.”
Grandma Yu was very satisfied with what Wang Zhenhua said, and she nodded in agreement.
"That's right, you can use the money I give you as you please. If you have time, come back and bring me a small gift. That would make me very happy."
"Money is something you can't take with you when you die. I'm already this old, how much money can I possibly spend?"
"Manman, Zhou Fen, you two can spend as you please, don't worry about it. Don't fret, your godfather and I have some savings."
Hearing Wang Zhenhua and Grandma Yu say this, Qian Manman had no choice but to put all the money and bills into her underwear. Moved, she threw herself into Grandma Yu's arms and whispered:
"It's so nice to have a godmother who cares about me. Godmother, don't worry, I'll definitely bring you lots of gifts when I come back."
Grandma Yu looked at the mischievous Qian Manman in her arms, then shifted her gaze to Zhou Fen, who was still standing there dumbfounded. Zhou Fen felt very envious of Qian Manman.
She simply stuffed the money into her underwear pocket, and then, mimicking Qian Manman's appearance, rushed into Grandma Yu's arms. Grandma Yu was quite strong, and the scene looked somewhat eerie.
But Grandma Yu also hugged her, gently stroked Zhou Fen's hair, and praised her:
"You are all good children. When you are out, you must take good care of yourselves and not make us worry about you at home, okay?"
Zhou Fen and Qian Manman nodded obediently. Just then, Old Master Yu's voice came from outside the door:
"Manman, Zhou Fen, Xiuxiu, how are your preparations going? I've brought the oxcart over."
Upon hearing Grandpa Yu's voice, Zhou Fen and Qian Manman crawled out of Grandma Yu's arms and picked up their belongings.
He then walked towards the door. Although Wei Mo and Li Xiuxiu's belongings were all in the space, Wei Mo also took a bag to disguise it as their things.
Wei Xiaomin and Wei Xiaohui looked at their younger brother with envy in the courtyard. They had never been to the city, let alone traveled far away.
Although they wanted to go, their maternal grandparents, mother, aunts, and everyone in the family disagreed.
Wei Xiaomin sulked to herself, while Wei Xiaohui tried to comfort her younger sister:
"Xiaomin, don't be angry. I'll play with you, okay? When we grow up, I'll take you to Beijing and Shanghai. We'll go to more prosperous cities."
Upon hearing this, Wei Xiaomin's eyes lit up instantly. She smiled, took Wei Xiaohui's hand, and asked her:
"Really? Sister, you have to take me with you then, you can't lie to me."
Wei Xiaohui nodded, then continued speaking to Wei Xiaomin:
"Don't worry, I will definitely take you there. Once I've made some money, I'll take you to a bigger city, and then I'll bring your younger brother, mom, and aunts with me."
Wei Xiaomin also became happy. Looking at the oxcart led by her grandfather, and her aunt and younger brother who were about to leave on a long trip, Wei Xiaomin and Wei Xiaohui also ran to the oxcart to see them off.
Wei Xiaomin also reminded her younger brother, who was sitting in the car:
"Little brother, you must buy me delicious food and fun things when you go to the big city, otherwise I won't talk to you when you come back and I won't play with you anymore."
Wei Mo sat on the oxcart, looking at his older sister's adorable face beside it. He nodded and promised her:
"Don't worry, sister, I'll definitely buy you lots of toys and snacks, and prepare a special gift for both you and your older sister."
