Outside the artificial hill, there was a stone wall, and below it was a well. Qiao Lian'er installed a pressure device to draw the well water up, and when it reached a certain point, it gushed out from the opening and drained out through the small ditch dug in the yard.
A row of flowering trees was planted along the winding ditch; it was very beautiful.
Guan Xue and Guan Song were squatting by the ditch playing in the water when Guan Yuqin saw them and rushed over, her gentle face now showing a hint of sternness.
“Everyone says you shouldn’t play in the water in winter, or you’ll catch a cold. If you don’t listen to your mother, I won’t let you come here anymore.”
Guan Song immediately dried himself off and solemnly promised, "Mom, we're not playing anymore. We're going to play with our sister."
“I can skip meals, but I can’t skip coming to see my sister,” Guan Xue immediately replied.
Guan Yuqin was amused by them, hugged them in her arms, and gave each of them a kiss.
Old Mrs. Song was not far away, watching the brother and sister.
The boy was chubby-cheeked and handsome, with delicate features, and looked lively and intelligent. The girl was also pretty and charming, lively and cute.
These are Old Lady Song's own grandchildren, her son's bloodline from the general's family. They were born into noble families.
Thinking of these facts, Old Mrs. Song felt a surge of excitement.
Looking at Guan Yuqin, with her gentle features and warm smile, she seemed like someone easy to manipulate.
Old Mrs. Song cursed Guan Yuqin countless times for her son's current predicament, thinking that Guan must be a domineering woman who would ruin her son's life over a small mistake.
Judging from this, it seems that General Guan is in charge of this household.
However, she had Guan Yuqin under her control, and General Guan doted on his daughter and grandson, so how could she not let Song Laosan return to his original position?
Yes, let's start with this woman.
Seeing Guan Yuqin holding her children's hands on either side and about to leave, completely unaware of her presence, Old Lady Song cleared her throat with a grunt.
The rough, hoarse sound caught Guan Yuqin's attention, and she looked over.
Then they saw a strange old woman staring straight at the mother and her two children.
That look in her eyes was indescribable, making Guan Yuqin feel extremely uncomfortable.
She tried to ignore it, but Old Lady Song had already come up in front of them.
Old Mrs. Song gave a wink in one direction, and Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Chen also came over. They knew that the old woman had another purpose for coming today.
They followed through and handled the matter well, which greatly benefited their husbands' futures.
So they adopted a haughty and pretentious attitude.
After all, they were Guan Yuqin's eldest and second sister-in-laws, and there was a proper order of seniority and hierarchy among them; they were above her.
Seeing several people surrounding them, and looking rather unapproachable, Guan Yuqin frowned in confusion.
"What are you doing—"
"Daughter-in-law, you don't recognize me? Didn't Song Laosan mention me to you?" That's what Old Mrs. Song said as soon as she opened her mouth.
It turned out that this person was Song Laosan's mother. Guan Yuqin's heart skipped a beat. Upon closer inspection, she indeed saw that their features were somewhat similar.
However, this old woman was quite old, and her eyes drooped into triangular shapes, revealing the whites of her eyes, making her look very mean.
