Although the farce in their family was barely resolved under the strong suppression of the secretary, Zhang Guilan felt unwilling to accept the fact that she, as a mother-in-law, had fallen into the hands of her daughter-in-law.
And when she thought about giving away ten eggs for nothing, her heart ached so much that it felt like it was bleeding.
I was so angry that I didn’t even eat dinner.
In the evening, Tian Xiuzhu came back from town and saw her mother with a sad face and a depressed mood. She quickly turned into a caring little cotton-padded jacket, bringing her water and comforting her, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Guilan was feeling depressed and worried that she had no one to talk to.
Now that someone asked, he spilled the beans and told them everything that happened that afternoon without missing a word.
She wiped her tears as she spoke, and said aggrievedly, "Zhu'er, you went to school to teach, and I have no one to talk to at home. Your two sisters-in-law are not good people. They are respectful to me on the surface, but they are actually wary of me in their hearts. Your father yells at me, and my life is really miserable."
As she spoke, she started crying again.
After hearing what her mother said, Tian Xiuzhu felt that this incident gave her another opportunity to contact Chu Yue openly, and she was secretly happy.
"Mom, don't cry. I think Dad is right. He saved Zhuangzhuang, so it's not too much for your sister-in-law to give him some things."
"Why not? I've been saving those eggs for a long time, waiting for you to come back so I can cook them for you. How can I give them away to the Yang family?"
Zhang Guilan's words woke the dreamer up.
"Mom, what you said makes sense!" Tian Xiuzhu said excitedly, pulling her sleeve.
"It was Chu Yue who saved him. Even if we want to give him something to express our gratitude, we should give it to Chu Yue. Why should we give it to that shameless Yang Liu?"
And everyone in the village knew that they were just a couple in name only.
If Yang Liu had not been despicable and used improper means, Chu Yue would not have married her.
Strictly speaking, they can't be considered a real couple.
After hearing her words, Zhang Guilan felt that it made more sense. She wiped her tears and suddenly became more motivated: "Zhu'er, you are right. I will go to their house tomorrow to get the eggs back."
When she thought about how she had saved money and worked so hard to save ten eggs, only to have them given away cheaply to the Yang family, she felt like someone was cutting her flesh with a knife.
No, she must go find someone to get the eggs back tomorrow.
Besides, the educated youth from the city have seen all kinds of good things. If she goes to Chu Yue and pleads for her sympathy, maybe he won't want these eggs.
By then, she would have repaid the favor and gotten the eggs back, killing two birds with one stone.
Some people here are still thinking about taking the eggs back.
Eight of the ten eggs over there have been used by Yang Liu.
She went to the field and cut all the leeks, pickled them in a full jar, then picked some tender ones and made a plate of leek fried eggs.
Thinking that the eggs were free anyway, and that Goudan would be coming over for dinner in the evening, she was particularly extravagant and cooked five poached eggs with brown sugar.
When they got home from work, they smelled the aroma of food as soon as they entered the yard.
Li Qiuhe was surprised to see the table filled with four or five dishes, especially the fried egg in each person's bowl. "Liu'er, where did you get the eggs?"
It seemed as if they were not going to eat unless she explained it clearly.
Yang Liu poured each of them a bowl of mung bean soup and said, "Come to think of it, we have Chu Yue to thank for such a sumptuous meal today."
As soon as Chu Yue brought Yang Bai in from outside, he heard the praise from his wife and felt very proud.
But he still pretended to be calm.
Seeing her daughter was keeping her in suspense, Li Qiuhe quickly pulled her hand and asked, "What's going on? Tell us quickly."
Yang Liu then told the whole story, but she didn't know the specific details of Chu Yue's rescue, so she just passed it over.
After hearing her words and knowing where the eggs came from, Li Qiuhuo felt even more uneasy. She felt that Zhang Guilan's stingy nature would most likely make her spit out the eggs she had eaten.
Seeing her mother didn't move, Yang Liu knew what she was worried about and quickly stuffed the chopsticks into her hand. "Mom, just eat peacefully. We didn't steal these eggs. Her daughter-in-law personally delivered them to us. Besides, saving your life isn't worth a few eggs."
Seeing that she didn't eat, no one else picked up their chopsticks either.
Li Qiuhe looked at the others, then at the eggs in the bowl, and asked hesitantly, "Are these eggs really edible?"
“Yes.”
Everyone else said in unison.
Seeing everyone say so, Li Qiuhe felt relieved.
That night, the whole family had a rare sumptuous dinner.
Everyone ate their fill and was very satisfied.
Li Qiuhe was afraid that Goudan would be hungry at night, so she took out another pancake and stuffed it into his mouth. "Goudan, you little kid is in the growth stage. Take this. If you are hungry at night, you can eat something to fill your stomach."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Yang Liu added, "Dad, Mom, don't call him Goudan anymore. He's called Yang Bai now, right?"
The little guy grinned and nodded heavily.
Yang Guoqing patted his head and said, "This is a good name. I hope you grow up healthily like a cypress tree and become a useful person in the future."
Don't be like your dad.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Qiuhe looked at Yang Guoqing and ordered, "It's getting dark, send Xiaobai home."
