Chapter 253 Don't make trouble at home all day
Grandma Qiu looked at the reactions of the people in the courtyard and said softly, "That's enough. This is a gift from my great-grandson's wife. Stop playing tricks on me. Just do what you need to do."
Zhang Shanmei was naturally unhappy. This honey was hard to come by and she didn't want to miss it: "Grandma, I'm pregnant with your great-great-grandson."
Grandma Qiu chuckled twice: "You also said that I will have a great-great-grandson. How dare you, a great-grandson's wife, use the banner of your unborn child to snatch things from an old lady like me who is almost buried up to her neck in the dirt?"
Once these words were spoken, the matter became serious.
Old man Qiu rarely took care of the family affairs on weekdays, but he also spoke up at this time: "If you want to eat honey, let your man go find it, don't make trouble at home all day long."
Zhang Shanmei was a little dissatisfied and reached out to pull the hem of her man's clothes. Her mother-in-law glared at her and said, "Okay, stop embarrassing yourself here and go back to your room."
Seeing her sister-in-law say this, Mother Qiu also walked over to her daughter-in-law and said, "Xia Qiu, my dear child, this is really hard for you."
After saying this, he looked at Zhang Shanmei meaningfully.
At this time, the sound of gongs indicating the start of work was heard outside.
Old man Qiu tapped the pipe in his hand and said, "Okay, let's go."
Grandma Qiu said, "Xiaqiu, don't go to the fields with us. When you get there, tell the team leader that you can go cut grass from now on. It's okay if you get fewer work points. Don't get too tired."
Before Xia Qiu could reply, Qiu Shaofeng quickly answered, "Thank you, grandma."
Xia Qiu also followed suit to express his gratitude.
Naturally, no one else dared to object. After all, this was what Grandma Qiu arranged when a woman in the family became pregnant.
Qiu Shaofeng walked to Xia Qiu's side and whispered, "Hold on for a few more days. When Shaocheng gets married and returns home to divide the family, we can live our lives as the second branch behind closed doors."
Xia Qiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't take it to heart."

In Liushu Village, Liu's father went to the village first to return the mule cart to the breeder, and then walked back.
Unexpectedly, I heard someone talking about yesterday's house-warming banquet: "You know what, the Shanliang family's house-warming banquet yesterday was the best feast I've had in recent years."
"That's right. Although there isn't too much meat in each dish, they did prepare several meat dishes, and they also prepared so much sorghum. Many people got drunk yesterday."
"This is rare. Ever since I injured my leg on the mountain ridge, my luck has improved a lot."
"Yes, I think it was Uncle Wu's family that brought bad luck to him. Once these two separated, his fortunes improved. Once the family ties were severed, he moved into a blue brick and tile house. We don't have many brick and tile houses."
"The guy his second daughter is dating is an officer. You didn't see how diligent she was yesterday. Just wait and see. I'm afraid we will all be envious of her life in the future."
"By the way, I heard that Chu Xuechu's boyfriend brought over ten kilograms of meat yesterday. Is it true or false?"
"Of course it's true. I saw it with my own eyes. It's top-quality pork belly."
"The marriage hasn't been decided yet, and it's such a big deal. If it's a betrothal gift, wouldn't it be even more?"
Everyone was discussing the matter with great interest when they heard someone say, "No matter how good the house-warming banquet was, they didn't even mention giving a bite to Uncle Wu and his wife. They really cut it off completely."
"What are you saying? We are already on good terms. What kind of food are they sending you? You are just bored."
"Oh, you guys are so mean, am I wrong?
Even if they are no longer related, they are still from the same village. Shouldn't they send some food to the old uncle and his wife?"
