Chapter 371 If I had known this would happen, I should not have agreed to split the family
Sure enough, when everyone came back from work, the eldest aunt of the Qiu family came into the yard and saw Qiu's mother and asked, "Sister-in-law, I heard that relatives came to visit today?"
Mother Qiu smiled and said, "Xia Qiu's eldest sister's boyfriend came to propose marriage today. Xia Qiu has been a bit shy recently, so the Liu family asked him to bring some fruits over. It's really pitiful that parents in the world care about their children no matter how old they are."
Aunt Qiu was a little unconvinced: "Didn't they say that a lot of people came?"
While picking the vegetables in her hands, Qiu's mother said, "In the car are the parents of Xia Qiu's boyfriend, as well as the matchmaker hired by his family."
At this time, Grandma Qiu came into the yard with a mat made of corn husks: "Why are you all standing in the yard?"
Aunt Qiu wanted to stir up trouble, but Mother Qiu spoke up before her: "Grandma, Xia Qiu's family sent a big watermelon today, and they just said they would cut it up and eat it together when we get back."
In fact, Grandma Qiu also heard about it on the way back: "Oh, my in-laws really love their daughter. They sent someone to bring something back again. Xia Qiu is really lucky."
Grandma Qiu is not stupid. Now that the family property has been divided, she naturally cannot try to smooth things over.
Mother Qiu did not mention Yanwan because she did not want them to know that Yanwan was Chuxue's future sister-in-law, so as to prevent anyone from having inappropriate thoughts.
The watermelon was big enough that it couldn't be kept in such a hot day. Besides, even if it was really cut, they couldn't enjoy it all by themselves. After all, they all lived in the same yard. It would be better to take the initiative to stop everyone from eating. After all, people are easily offended.
The eldest aunt of the Qiu family wanted to say something, but Grandma Qiu spoke up: "Alright, the whole family is waiting to eat, how long are you going to delay it?"
When Aunt Qiu heard this, she got angry: "Where's Lihua? Didn't she stay at home to cook today? Where is she?"
Mrs. Qiu said with an unhappy look on her face: "Her nephew was knocked down by a dog and fell into the river. As an aunt, can she not go and check on him?"
After hearing this, even if Aunt Qiu was unhappy, she couldn't get angry.
She had heard about the eldest daughter-in-law and eldest brother's child falling into the water from people in the field. She glanced at Grandma Qiu and thought to herself: What a mean old woman! She has only been in the kitchen a few times since the family was divided. At most, she just helped out.
If I had known this would happen, I should not have agreed to split the family.
What kind of fate is this for her? The eldest daughter-in-law has gone back to her parents' home to be lazy, and the second daughter-in-law is not even a month old and can't be relied on. Now that the family has split up, she has to fend for herself to have enough food and clothing. Look at the second wife, not to mention the youngest daughter-in-law who just came in and loves to show off, even the one who suffers from severe morning sickness can still have a hot meal when everyone gets home from work. It makes me angry just thinking about it.
She was already upset, and now she heard her second daughter-in-law calling her: "Mom, come in for a moment, I have something to tell you."
She said unhappily, "There are so many mouths waiting to be fed. If you have any problem, ask your man to help you."
After saying that, she went back to the house angrily, took out the basket, and cursed: "Other families have comfortable lives after their daughters-in-law become mothers-in-law, but I am so miserable that I married two lazy daughters-in-law. It's really a sin."
While she was picking vegetables from her private plot, Qiu's mother had already prepared the meal.
The family was officially divided a few days ago. From now on, the second room will only cook for their own room. They have been so comfortable these days.
After dinner, Qiu's mother did not miss the meal. With Xia Qiu's consent, she directly divided out one-third of the watermelon and said to her little girl, "Shaomei, send this watermelon to your grandmother."
