Ning Huan always prepares just enough for two people, no more and no less. The reason there's leftover food is definitely because the two of them are reluctant to eat it.
Ning Huan said, "My husband and I will only feel at ease if you and Grandma eat well, so please eat more."
Zhou Lan nodded and took Old Mrs. Zhou home.
The next morning, Fan Juan came over early again to help Ning Huan sew four small winter coat designs.
She also told Ning Huan that after the village chief went to her house yesterday to tell her about teaching herbal medicine, Mao was initially unhappy, but then told the village chief that Fan Juan was not feeling well and needed to stay home to recuperate, so she should come and learn on her own.
But the village chief scolded Mao, saying she was being ridiculous, and then said that it had to be Fan Juan who taught her, and that no one else would teach her, before he finally let it go.
Later, Mao seemed to have figured things out and started trying to please Fan Juan. However, she would always feel uncomfortable halfway through and then start to turn her back on Fan Juan.
After going back and forth like this, Fan Juan wasn't angry; she just found it both funny and strange.
Even Ning Huan smiled helplessly.
However, besides Fan Juan, Yao Shi, who was on her way, also arrived early in the morning.
Yesterday, when the village chief came to tell her about learning about medicinal herbs, she was furious when Zhou Lan came over.
Ning Huan is my daughter-in-law. How can you distinguish who is whose when learning something from your own family?
However, since she couldn't cause trouble for Ning Huan for no reason, she could only swallow her anger.
But the more Mao thought about it, the angrier she became. So she went to Zhou Jing'an's house early in the morning to see how Xiao Cui was doing and whether she had seduced Zhou Jing'an.
But as soon as she entered, she looked around and didn't see Yao Xiaocui, and immediately sneered. It must be Ning Huan's jealousy that drove Yao Xiaocui away; now she'd finally got something on her hands!
Thinking of this, Madam Yao snorted coldly, then stood in the courtyard and started yelling, "Ning Huan, you little bitch! Where did you send Xiao Cui?!"
The old women who loved to watch the commotion passing by the door gathered around when they heard Yao's voice. One of them, who had a fairly good relationship with Yao, asked, "What's going on? Why are you shouting here so early in the morning?"
Yao put her hands on her hips and spat, saying, "What else could it be? I saw how hard my third son's wife works taking care of my son, so I found her a maid to help with the chores."
"But that bitch chased that little girl away out of jealousy! What kind of behavior is that!"
Ning Huan heard the noise and went out of the house. She saw Yao standing in the courtyard, twisting the truth, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
After she left, she asked in a cold voice, "Mother, what do you mean by coming to my house so early in the morning to cause trouble?"
Madam Yao snorted coldly: "What do I mean? What could I possibly mean? I'm asking you, where did you send Xiao Cui?"
Ning Huan said calmly, "She went home to get her clothes."
Madam Yao didn't believe Ning Huan's words at all, and shouted shrilly, "Bullshit, you're lying! Xiao Cui went home to get some clothes, you even chased her away and you still won't admit it!"
As she spoke, she sat down on the ground and started crying: "Oh dear, I'm such a bad mother! I felt sorry for my son, so I found someone to help me, but my daughter-in-law is so jealous that she chased everyone away!"
Aunt Xiufen happened to be passing by and heard Yao's voice. She went up to her and asked in confusion:
"Yao, you're so kind-hearted? You even found someone to serve your son. If such a good thing happened, you'd probably be the first one to find someone to serve you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old woman next to him burst out laughing.
Others began to chime in, saying, "Isn't that right? How could the Yao family be so kind as to hire someone specifically to take care of Jing'an?"
"If they really had that intention, they probably wouldn't have kicked them out!"
"I think so too. They're probably trying to cause some trouble again, hoping Jing'an's wife will find out."
Seeing that these people were no longer speaking up for her, Yao angrily sat down on the ground and cursed, "You're all a bunch of stinking women! It's none of your business how my family matters are handled!"
"Do I have to inform you before hiring someone to take care of my son, so you can watch how I do it all day long?"
Then she glared fiercely at Ning Huan. If it weren't for this woman, her son wouldn't have fallen out of love with her, and she wouldn't have been ridiculed by these gossipy old women in the village.
You see, she used to receive a lot of praise in the village because of Zhou Jing'an. Now, these same people who used to praise her are now mocking her. Anyone would find that unbearable!
When Ning Huan saw Yao Shi sitting in the courtyard crying and making a scene, she immediately felt exhausted. Although she had long since accepted Yao Shi's frequent, nonsensical, and unreasonable disturbances, it didn't mean she could endure it forever.
It seems she needs to find some time to have a serious talk with Zhou Jing'an about this.
The most urgent thing right now was to get rid of Yao. She glanced at Yang Xiaoshu, who had run away from the neighboring yard, and guessed that he had listened to Yang and gone to find the village chief.
But it will take some time for the village chief to arrive, so Ning Huan still needs to deal with Yao Shi.
She looked coldly at Madam Yao and said, "Mother, what exactly do you mean by sending people here? Do you think I don't know?"
Yao paused for a moment, then denied it somewhat nervously, saying, "What do you mean by that? What could I possibly mean by sending someone over? Isn't it just to do some work for you and make things easier for your family?"
Ning Huan chuckled lightly: "Really? Then why did you bring this girl here, and why does she refuse to do the work I assigned her, instead preferring to run to my husband's room?"
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped. This Yao family hadn't just found a maid to do the work; they had clearly found a seductive maid to drive Ning Huan away.
But Madam Yao denied it to the death: "You're talking nonsense. I only brought that girl here to help. As for what she did after she came here, how would I know!"
"Besides, your words are just empty promises, and that girl has disappeared without a trace, so you can say whatever you want!"
At this moment, the four little ones stood up and said, "My mother didn't lie. That woman deliberately went to my father's room."
“My father told her not to go in, but she insisted on going in and made my father angry!”
"She also told us to call her 'Little Mother,' and that she would become my father's wife in the future, and that we should listen to her."
"She also said that if we don't listen to her, she will scold and beat us when she becomes our concubine!"
As she spoke, the four little ones ran to Ning Huan's side and hugged her tightly.
