Ning Huan smiled awkwardly to the side. Judging from the original owner's memories, it was no wonder that Old Madam Zhou disliked her. Ever since she married into the Zhou family, she had been causing trouble all the time, making the house a mess.
She was already a headache for Zhou Jing'an, but she was also a troublesome one. After having four little ones, it wasn't good for the children either. Ning Huan smiled awkwardly. Wasn't this just putting the stereotype of the granddaughter-in-law that the old man hated most on her?
When Ning Huan saw that Old Mrs. Zhou had red eyes and was talking to Zhou Jing'an, she turned around and went to the kitchen, thinking of pouring the old lady a glass of water, and added some spirit tree juice to it.
After she brought it over, Grandma Zhou glanced at her, took a sip of water, and then called out to Ning Huan, who was about to leave again: "You can stay in the room. I came here to see Jing An, but I heard from the eldest maid that your lives have improved a lot, and it's all thanks to you. You've worked hard taking care of Jing An."
Hearing Old Mrs. Zhou tell her that she had worked hard, Ning Huan was a little dazed. Not only the Zhou family, but even the villagers, including the village chief, felt that it was only natural for Ning Huan to take care of Zhou Jing'an.
Apart from Zhou Lan occasionally telling her how hard it was, no one else had ever said anything like that to her.
She smiled and said, "Grandma, this is what I should do, it's not hard work. Once my husband recovers, my life will get better too."
Grandma Zhou nodded: "Lan told me that you have changed a lot these days. When I came to see you today, you are indeed different from before."
Ning Huan's words weren't meant to please Old Mrs. Zhou. She was taking good care of Zhou Jing'an's health in order to leave a good impression on him so that their divorce would go more smoothly later.
Recently, she added the idea of taking the four little dumplings with her, so she has to behave even better.
Grandma Zhou and Zhou Jing'an talked for a while. Grandma Zhou, who originally wanted to go home, was asked to stay for dinner by Zhou Jing'an. After agreeing, Zhou Jing'an felt a little tired because he had taken some nourishing medicine, so he went to rest first.
Grandma Zhou was invited to sit in Ning Huan's room, and Zhou Lan also spoke highly of Ning Huan.
"Lan girl, you don't need to say anything. I, this old woman, know what Jing'an's wife has been doing these days."
She looked at Ning Huan and said, "Although you did a lot of ridiculous things after you married into the family, I didn't like you very much at the time. But ever since Jing An got sick and was kicked out by Yao Shi, I heard that you have changed a lot."
Ning Huan smiled awkwardly, then listened to Old Mrs. Zhou say, "I think you were probably tormented by Yao Shi both openly and secretly before, which is why you acted that way. Now that you've changed for the better, then you should live a good life with Jing An."
Ning Huan nodded repeatedly in agreement. Then, the old lady took out a package wrapped in silk cloth from her pocket. As she opened it, she said, "This contains what I've saved up over the years through frugality. Whether it's food and drink for the four little ones or medical treatment for Jing'an, it will definitely cost a lot of money during this period..."
Seeing that Grandma Zhou was about to take out the bag of money and give it to Ning Huan, she quickly waved her hand: "Grandma, you don't need to give me this money. I can earn a lot of money by going up the mountain to collect herbs and exchanging them in town. It's enough to support the family."
Grandma Zhou insisted that Ning Huan accept the money, but in the end Ning Huan only took a small amount: "Then I'll take part of it, and Grandma can keep the rest to buy herself some food and other necessities."
In fact, Grandma Zhou really didn't lack anything. Every few days, Ning Huan would ask Zhou Lan to bring back some food or household items, and the house was already full of things she had sent.
After Ning Huan accepted the money, Old Madam Zhou spoke a few more words with her, then looked at Zhou Lan and asked, "Lan, I remembered what Jing'an's wife said about herbs. A few days ago, Yao kept calling you home, and then you said you wouldn't come to Jing'an to learn about herbs. What happened?"
Probably not expecting this topic to be brought up suddenly, Zhou Lan stammered, "Grandma, why are you suddenly asking about this? I had to go home to help Mom and Dad with chores that day, so I couldn't come."
Grandma Zhou snorted coldly: "Don't think I don't know. I may be old, but I'm not senile. Yao Shi specifically chose these few days to come looking for you. Is it for no reason?"
“Lan’er, that woman Yao is short-sighted and selfish. Don’t always go along with your mother. Listen to me on this matter. I’ll go talk to Yao.”
Probably not expecting that Grandma Zhou, at her age, would still think of supporting her, Zhou Lan's eyes immediately reddened: "Grandma..."
Ning Huan quickly interjected, "Grandma, after my eldest sister came over, I already talked to my husband about this. I will only teach my eldest sister in the family. Even if she doesn't come to learn, I won't teach anyone else."
"And I will also tell the village chief about this and ask him to talk to Yao Shi, so Grandma, you don't have to worry anymore."
Hearing that Ning Huan had made such a well-organized arrangement, Grandma Zhou nodded in satisfaction. She was becoming more and more pleased with her granddaughter-in-law. Just now, she saw that Jing An's complexion was rosy and healthy, and the four little ones were clean and tidy, and even greeted her politely.
As expected, it wasn't all her faults before; that woman Yao must have done a lot of things that drove Ning Huan to the brink of collapse.
Ning Huan specially prepared a lot of delicious food for dinner that evening. Grandma Zhou ate very happily. Before Ning Huan could even serve her any food, the four little ones rushed to serve their grandma food.
"Grandma, this is my favorite dish. Mom makes it especially delicious. You should try it!"
"Grandma, this dish is the best, you eat mine first!"
"Grandma, have a sip of the juice Mom made, it's so sweet!"
"Grandma, let me get you some food. This is the best dish!"
When the four little ones lived in the Zhou family, Grandma Zhou doted on them the most. When Yao bullied them, Grandma Zhou would always protect them. After they moved out, they could still often eat the food that Grandma Zhou made for them, which is why the four little ones were so close to their grandmother.
Grandma Zhou was beaming with joy, nodding repeatedly. She had come to Zhou Jing'an's house today and learned that his injuries were almost healed, Ning Huan had changed a lot, and the four little ones were all healthy, which put her at ease.
When they returned home that evening, Ning Huan specially prepared a lot of vegetables and fruits for the Zhou family's old lady. Zhou Lan used to refuse, but now she accepted them with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you don't need to bring us so much. There's still plenty of food at home that you brought us."
