"Young mistress! I stewed eggs for you but you wouldn't eat them, I stewed chicken soup for you but you wouldn't drink it, and you still can't give birth. What do you want? Do you expect me to kneel down and kowtow to you to beg you to eat?"
"Grandma, I can't eat..."
"You have to eat, even if you can't! How will my grandson grow up if you don't eat? How will he come out if he doesn't grow up? Hurry up and eat!"
"The doctor said it has nothing to do with food..."
"Are you going to eat or not? If you don't, I'll feed you!" Something slammed onto the table with a loud bang, and the voice was forceful: "Hurry up! Open your mouth!"
"You're not allowed to bully Aunt Wan!"
Another child's voice rang out.
"You're not allowed to yell at my mom!"
"Hey you two little brats! You've got some nerve, haven't you!" The cursing voice grew even harsher. "Especially you, Dongdong, what do you mean 'your mother'? Your mother's been in jail for ages. She's not your mother at all. She has absolutely no relation to you. I'm your grandmother, and you're my own grandson. You should be close to me, you know that!"
"Pah! I won't!"
"You old hag! Get away from me!"
With a furious shout from Xiao Haiping, the heated argument finally reached a fever pitch. Something was knocked over, spilling soup and creating a deafening clatter.
Chu Qi, sitting in the stroller, was startled.
Soon, the old woman's screams echoed from inside the house, her voice suddenly rising in volume:
"Ah! The chicken soup I painstakingly made!"
"You wretched beggar! I spent so much time and effort making this chicken soup, and you just ruined it like that! You eat my food and drink my water, and you still treat me like this! I'll beat you to death today, you little beggar!"
"Grandma, Grandma, please don't hit him..."
With a loud crash, the outer door of the main room was kicked open, and Xiao Hai, covered in chicken feathers, ran out in a disheveled state.
Behind him stood Chen's mother, her face contorted with rage, holding a feather duster as if to strike him.
"Aunt Yun!"
When Xiao Hai saw Ye Yun, his eyes lit up, and he swiftly hid behind Ye Yun.
Chen's mother froze, the feather duster she had raised in her hand.
At the entrance of the main room, Liu Wan and Dongdong, who had hurriedly chased after them, were also stunned.
Both of them were immediately delighted.
"Aunt Yun!" Dongdong ran over and hugged Ye Yun's arm.
After not seeing him for half a year, Dongdong had grown taller, unlike Xiaohai who was still weak and could only cling to Ye Yun's leg.
Don't let his small size fool you, he has quite a temper, and he's always the one who strikes first if you provoke him.
"Ye Yun, you've arrived."
Liu Wan, supporting her waist, walked out of the main room, greeted Ye Yun, and then affectionately touched Xiao Chuqi's face.
"My little darling~ It's been so long."
Standing frozen behind the crowd, Chen's mother looked Ye Yun up and down with suspicion, and said uncertainly, "You are..."
“Grandma, this is Ye Yun, the one who helped Old Chen save the garment factory.” Liu Wan turned around and explained to Chen’s mother with a smile.
Chen's mother slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "Oh, it's you!"
She quickly put down the feather duster in her hand, and came over as if to greet Ye Yun, grabbing her arm and pulling her into the house. "Come on, come in quickly. My son has told me about you many times, but I've never had a chance to meet you. What brings you here today!"
"Liu Wan, quickly make some tea and properly entertain our distinguished guest!"
Chen's mother raised her hand and began to give instructions to Liu Wan.
Ye Yun raised an eyebrow and looked at Ye Yun with suspicion.
Liu Wan smiled nonchalantly, shook her head at her, let go of her hand, and went into the kitchen first.
Chen's mother didn't see the exchange of glances between her and Liu Wan. She was still holding Liu Wan's hand as they walked into the house, chattering on and on: "Boss Ye, you're here to see my son, right? He went to work at the garment factory today. Why don't you sit for a while? I'll have someone go and call him!"
As she spoke, she called out to Liu Wan in the kitchen.
"Liu Wan! Liu Wan! I need you to go to the garment factory later and call my son back. Tell him that Boss Ye has something to discuss with him at home!"
A loud crash came from the kitchen.
Before Liu Wan could respond, Chen's mother said impatiently, "What are you doing making all that clattering? Did you break the bowl again? You're so delicate, what can you possibly accomplish?"
Ye Yun said unhappily, "Auntie, isn't it inappropriate for Liu Wan, a pregnant woman, to do these things?"
"Not good? What's wrong with it?" Chen's mother didn't think it was wrong at all, and even said with a straight face, "Boss Ye, you don't know, she's past her due date and still hasn't given birth. She needs to do more work and move around more, otherwise how can she expect to have a baby!"
"But Liu Wan, she..."
"Oh, you don't need to worry about these things!" Chen's mother interrupted her, gesturing wildly with a feather duster, "Let her walk to the garment factory later, maybe she'll even give birth halfway there!"
"My daughter-in-law is too delicate. She stays at home all day and never goes out for a walk!"
“I told my son from the beginning not to marry this kind of delicate girl. He should marry someone with a strong waist and a healthy body, someone who can have children and do housework. What’s the use of marrying this delicate girl? She’s just pretty, but she can’t do any heavy work, and she can’t even have a good time giving birth!”
"Oh, Mr. Ye, you're about to give birth, aren't you?"
"Oh my, look at you, you can walk all the way here with a child in your arms. If my wife could learn from you, she would have had the baby a long time ago!"
Ye Yun's lips twitched slightly.
The nanny following behind was unhappy.
Taking the stroller from Xiao Chuqi, she said with a veiled smile, "Auntie, I'm the one looking after the child. My sister usually just needs to take care of herself. She can take care of the rest if she wants to, or not if she doesn't. We also have an older sister who takes care of the housework. She's not allowed to do things like serving tea or water."
"Huh?" Chen's mother was taken aback.
She still had a flattering smile on her face as she listened to the nanny's words. She looked at Ye Yun, then at the nanny, unsure whether she understood the nanny's veiled sarcasm.
"Pfft..." Liu Wan walked out of the kitchen with a thermos in her hand, laughing.
Ye Yun gave her older sister a wink.
The eldest sister immediately went to Liu Wan and took the thermos and bowl from her hands, saying, "You're pregnant, so don't do these things. Let me do them."
"No, no, no... Give it to me, give it to me."
Chen's mother, standing nearby, seemed to awaken from a dream.
Before her older sister could take the thermos and bowls away, she quickly stepped forward and snatched them away, giving Liu Wan a glare before going inside.
Liu Wan, however, didn't seem to care at all, and dealt with everything with a smile.
Ye Yun couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. How could she tolerate this?
Liu Wan casually took her arm and whispered, "What's the big deal? The old woman won't live as long as I will. I'm easygoing. She can only win with words. In the end, she still has to obediently serve me food and drink for the sake of her grandson. I'll just let her have her way."
"!"
This level of awareness is high.
