Chapter 66 Chicken Soup

It is always better to investigate this matter sooner rather than later.

Otherwise, if the delay continues for a few more days, and if the impostor reports to the school early, it will be too late.

So, early the next morning, Qin Yue led Qin Lian back to the county town.

Wu Chunmei didn't understand why the brother and sister took the admission letter so seriously. She just felt that it was inappropriate for Qin Yue and Qin Lian to be away when Xia Tang needed someone around.

He couldn't help but say a few words to Xia Tang to blame the brother and sister.

Xia Tang took it to heart and just smiled and said:

"Mom, Qin Lian's matter is urgent. I already have people on my side, so it's not a big deal."

Aren't there only a few people in the family? How could Xia Tang have any help?

Wu Chunmei didn't believe it in her heart, but she said:

"How about asking your second aunt and sister Fang to come over and help?"

Only then did Xia Tang realize that Wu Chunliu and Hu Fang had also come.

However, she did not agree with Wu Chunmei and just said that she had plans.

When she was discharged from the hospital in the morning, Wu Chunmei finally found out who the person Xia Tang was talking about was.

Before nine o'clock, Chen Minzhi came over, followed by four or five people.

There was Xiao Liu whom I met yesterday, the clerk whom I had seen in the store before, and a girl with a pale face who looked not in good health.

When Chen Minzhi saw Wu Chunmei coming, she greeted her with a smile.

Wu Chunmei also agreed. She had been feeling anxious for a long time, but finally she felt a little relieved because of Chen Minzhi's arrival.

Xia Tang told Chen Minzhi what was going on at home, and Chen Minzhi became angry:

"You mean Qin Lian's hard-earned grades were taken away by someone else?"

“This is too much!”

Although her grades were not very good, her sister Minyun used to be a good student.

So she understands very well the impact of learning on a person's destiny.

I can empathize with Qin Lian's experience even more.

"It's just a guess, it can't be confirmed. So, I asked Qin Yue to check it out."

Xia Tang squinted at Minzhi:

"Sister Minzhi, if you and Minyun are of any use these days, come and help me."

Chen Minzhi was not unwilling at all:

"Don't mention you're free, I have to put your case first!"

With the help of Chen Minzhi and other partners, Xia Tang's discharge from the hospital went smoothly. The group walked one after another, and it looked like a large formation.

When they got home, Xia Tang lay quietly in the bedroom with the child on one side.

Chen Minzhi and Wu Chunmei were outside, helping to put away all the necessary things.

There was no one else in the room.

She listened to the noise coming from outside, tilted her head back, looked at the ceiling painted with white lime, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Giving birth is also a hurdle for women.

And she finally figured it out.

Outside the house, Wu Chunmei put the luggage she brought with her into another room. After she had completely settled it, she couldn't help but sigh at Chen Minzhi:

"Xiao Chen, Auntie wants to ask you, does Xia Tang not want me to take care of her?"

Chen Minzhi was folding the diapers that Wu Chunmei had brought. When she heard her question, she smiled and asked:

"Auntie, why are you asking that?"

Wu Chunmei raised her chin and pointed at the red balls of flowers hanging outside to dry clothes.

Chen Minzhi understood:

"I was the one who told Xia Tang about Sister Zhu's matter. Xia Tang doesn't want to burden you, and you have someone who is willing to take care of you. Isn't that a good thing?"

"But……"

"It's nothing, don't think too much about it, Xia Tang is not that kind of person."

Chen Minzhi stood up and said in a crisp voice:

"I'll go take over for Sister Zhu. She has to go make postpartum meals for Xia Tang."

Wu Chunmei was interrupted by Chen Minzhi. She had just wanted to say that she had taken over the matter from Wu Chunliu and the others, but she forgot about it.

On the other side, Wu Chunliu and Hu Fang were leaning against the door of the guesthouse with their eyes wide open.

They waited and waited, but no one came to pick them up:

Didn't we say we were going to see Xia Tang together this morning? Where is she?

*

Speaking of confinement for women, it is not actually a very strenuous physical task, but it is really stressful to deal with all the trivial things one after another.

It was not until one o'clock in the afternoon that Wu Chunmei and her friends had their meal.

While eating, she suddenly slapped her thigh:

"It's broken!"

What's broken?

Of course, Wu Chunliu and Hu Fang were forgotten!

She looked at Chen Minzhi for help. Chen Minzhi was silent for a while and could only sigh:

"I'll go with you to get it."

No matter what, she is Qin Yue's second aunt.

It's not appropriate to just leave them in a guesthouse after they have come all the way here.

It was already past two in the afternoon when we brought the person back.

Wu Chunliu and Hu Fang have been hungry since this morning and their faces are not looking good.

As soon as he entered the room, he said loudly to Wu Chunmei:

"Chunmei, is this how your good son and daughter-in-law treat their family members?"

"They just look down on us! If they really don't want to receive us, then fine, let's go!"

Hu Fang also put her hands on her hips:

"That's right, mom! Let's just leave! How are we going to get along with these relatives in the future?"

"If Xia Tang doesn't come out and explain things today, I will really leave!"

They had said all these things on the way, and they did it again when they arrived at Xia Tang's house. It was obvious that they were saying it to Xia Tang.

Xia Tang had just finished feeding her baby and was sleeping soundly with the baby.

Chen Minzhi was afraid of waking her up, so she quickly pulled Wu Chunliu aside:

"Second Aunt, if you have anything to say, go and tell Qin Yue. Xia Tang is weak and sleeping right now, so she can't tell you anything."

Wu Chunmei rubbed her hands helplessly:

"That's right! Second sister, I was wrong about this, and I apologize to you!"

However, Wu Chunliu was not one to give up and continued to repeat those words over and over again, asking Chen Minzhi to judge for her.

Chen Minzhi complained bitterly and even wondered in her heart how could Wu Chunmei, who was such a gentle person, have such a domineering and selfish sister.

Wu Chunliu and Hu Fang kept complaining until Zhu Qiuhua brought the food to the table and successfully made them shut up.

After all, they were hungry, and the food in Xia Tang's house was delicious, so they wolfed it down and didn't care about anything else.

Chen Minzhi looked at the mother and daughter and decided not to go to the snack bar today.

I have to take good care of her here. It would be bad if Xia Tang couldn't take good care of herself after giving birth and got sulky.

She spoke a few words to Minyun who came with her. Minyun understood and left with the others.

Apart from what Wu Chunmei brought, only she and Zhu Qiuhua were left in the room.

After the meal, Wu Chunliu finally felt relieved.

But despite this, she still grabbed Wu Chunmei and kept saying words to sow discord, which made Chen Minzhi frown every time she heard it.

After a while, Zhu Qiuhua brought out another big bowl from the kitchen.

Wu Chunliu smelled the scent and walked over:

"What is this?"

Zhu Qiuhua answered honestly:

"This is the clear chicken soup that women eat during confinement."

Wu Chunliu immediately became interested.

She wrinkled her nose and said:

"Why would you give chicken soup to a girl? You might as well give it to us."

After saying this, Shenshen was about to take the chicken soup.

Zhu Qiuhua quickly moved the bowl to the other side:

"This chicken soup is specially made with herbs to treat blood stasis. It is not for outsiders."

She really couldn't bear to part with the chicken soup.

All the chickens are local chickens bought from the countryside.

The key is to start stewing the chicken as soon as you get back home, so that the chicken is tender and the soup is fragrant and tasty, which is more in line with the taste of postpartum women.

If Wu Chunliu ate it, Xia Tang would have no chance to have a postpartum meal.

Unexpectedly, these words touched Wu Chunliu's sore spot.

She immediately put her hands on her hips and yelled:

"Well! I came to my nephew's house and I couldn't even have a bite of chicken soup! I'm really an outsider!"

"Before, I was not allowed to see the confinement lady. Now, even the nanny doesn't like me! I am such a poor old woman, I am really despised!"

Zhu Qiuhua didn't know what to do for a moment and could only watch Wu Chunliu lose his temper.

Wu Chunmei wanted to persuade him but she couldn't find the words. She looked here and there, not knowing what to do.

Chen Minzhi tried to persuade him a few times, but was rebuked several times instead. She wanted to argue but couldn't step forward, and was in a dilemma for a while.

At this moment, an angry voice suddenly came from the door:

"What are you guys arguing about?"

A few people turned around and saw Qin Yue leading Qin Lian, standing at the door covered in dust.

Qin Yue and Qin Lian returned to the county town and could have come back the next day.

But Qin Yue was worried about Xia Tang, so he rushed onto the last train.

But I didn't expect to see the house in such a mess when I rushed back.

Qin Yue got angry instantly.

Before I could say anything, I saw Wu Chunliu coming towards me, wiping her tears:

"Nephew! Your family is really great! Your wife doesn't want to see me, and even your nanny dislikes me! Why should I stay here? I'm going back!"

Wu Chunliu said this with particular grievance:

"I came here with good intentions to see the baby, but I didn't expect to become an enemy..."

"Then go back."

Qin Yue's voice was so cold and hard that it made people feel frightened.

Wu Chunliu's eyes widened instantly, and he even forgot to wipe away his tears:

"What did you say?"

"Second Aunt, our house is in chaos right now, and it's not the right time to entertain guests. You and Sister Hu Fang should go back first. If you want to see the baby, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Qin Yue said very firmly,

"I'll go get the car keys and take you to the guesthouse, and then we'll catch the train back early the next morning."

"No...how..."

Wu Chunliu didn't expect that in front of Qin Yue, not only would he be unable to get out, but he would be sent back to Xiayazi Village!

This is totally different from what she originally planned!

However, Qin Yue had already turned over the car keys.

"Nephew, we have come here from afar, and you are just going to let us go like this?" Wu Chunliu asked in disbelief.

Hu Fang couldn't help but say:

"That's right, Mom! Didn't you tell me to work in Xia Tang's store? What would I do if I went back?"

Working in Xiatang store?

Qin Yue frowned and looked at Wu Chunmei, but saw that Wu Chunmei moved her head to the side unnaturally.

He even laughed:

"Xia Tang's store has plenty of people, and you can't do the work in her store."

After saying that, he pushed Wu Chunliu and Hu Fang out the door:

"Didn't you just say you wanted to leave? Come on, I'll take you back."

"We didn't say that... Hey! Qin Yue! You little bastard..."

Wu Chunliu's constant scolding could be heard from the corridor, but no matter how she scolded, Qin Yue never let go.

The sound gradually faded away.

Wu Chunmei looked at the dark corridor in bewilderment, looked at Chen Minzhi for help, and then looked at Qin Lian:

"This...what should I do if your second aunt blames me?"

Qin Lian and Chen Minzhi looked at each other and said at the same time:

"Just do it!"
