Upon seeing Sun Xiaomei enter, Liu Yuanyuan pounced on her, grabbed her hair, and cursed, "Didn't you say I was your older sister? An elder sister is like a mother, and your own mother will teach you a lesson today!"
Liu Yuanyuan has been eating well these past few days and hasn't had to do any heavy work, plus her original body already had good stamina.
Sun Xiaomei had to do housework at home and didn't eat well, so she was a little weak. In addition, the incident happened suddenly, and she was immediately at a disadvantage.
On Liu Yuanyuan's side, Liu Yuanyuan still had the upper hand. On the two older women's side, Liu's older woman, relying on her plumpness, bumped into Liu's mother-in-law several times.
Although he was still getting hit more often, he was still able to fight back.
Pei Yuezhi quickly went over to "break up the fight," shouting "Stop fighting!" while holding down Aunt Liu.
After being kicked twice more, Aunt Liu was also a bit weak, so she stopped.
“Old man, let me tell you, Liu Yuanyuan is a member of our family. It’s not just because she’s married and has to obey her husband. Just because she’s only a few years old, you sold her off. Based on that alone, you have no right to order her around for the rest of your life!”
"Do you really think I don't know what kind of relationship you're talking about? That guy could give birth to Yuanyuan if he tried hard enough! You'd better give up on that idea, or I'll beat you every time I see you."
Aunt Liu was still a little unconvinced and wanted to say something more, but when she saw Grandma Liu rolling up her sleeves again, she became a little timid.
He stammered, "Well... I meant well."
Granny Liu was about to strike again when Pei Yuezhi, supporting her, spoke up first: "Granny Liu, I understand now. You are her own mother, and you were just trying to find her a husband out of kindness, yet you're being bullied like this. Shouldn't you sue them?"
"Hmph, what are you going to sue? Sue her for coming to someone's in-laws' house and forcing them to marry? Or sue her for having an adopted daughter who tried to marry her off in front of the woman's mother?"
Grandma Liu gave Aunt Liu a disdainful look.
Pei Yuezhi's eyes lit up when she heard the word "adoption," and she asked, "Oh my, what does that mean?"
"What else could it mean? When they sold their daughter, they were afraid of ruining their reputation, so they said she was being adopted into my family."
"So, does that mean Aunt Liu can't even be considered a mother?"
Grandma Liu readily agreed, saying, "I'm so puzzled because she says she's my biological mother."
Hearing the two men's sarcastic remarks and their back-and-forth banter, Aunt Liu was furious and started cursing again.
Grandma Liu, who had been about to take action earlier, rushed into the house in two steps, grabbed a broom, and rushed out again, no one stopping her this time.
"This child has reminded me. Let me tell you, you old codger, if you dare to come looking for Yuanyuan again, I'll take you to court and see how the magistrate rules!"
The villagers were all afraid of seeing the officials, let alone the fact that it was her family's fault. Aunt Liu didn't dare to say a word and was beaten out.
After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left, the courtyard became quiet.
"Damn it, how dare they bully my child like this!" Granny Liu threw down her broom and came over to check if Liu Yuanyuan was alright.
The matter is now more or less over, and Pei Yuezhi and Liu Yuanyuan both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mom, I'm fine. Let me introduce you. This is a friend of mine. We hit it off immediately..." Liu Yuanyuan pulled her mother-in-law aside and began to talk about this friend.
Seeing that Pei Yuezhi was alright, she asked which room the child was in and then went over to check on the child.
When I entered the room, I saw three children, all of whom looked serious, as if they had something on their minds.
Pei Yuezhi hugged Fan Mu and asked softly, "Mu'er, why are you frowning? What's on your mind?"
"Mother, Aunt Liu is so pitiful, her mother is a bad person!" Fan Mu has been getting along best with Liu Yuanyuan these past few days.
Because she was a little girl, Liu Yuanyuan cherished her dearly and always took naps with her.
Therefore, Fan Mu felt very sorry for Liu Yuanyuan being bullied. He frowned and looked like he was about to cry.
Li Nian'an, with a sullen face, said to Pei Yuezhi, "Aunt Pei, that person isn't my grandmother, right? Why did she start arguing with my mother as soon as she arrived, and why did she even curse at my mother?"
"That person has nothing to do with your mother anymore."
After a few words of comfort, the three children looked a little better.
I'm so glad. This shows that my two children are still kind and like Liu Yuanyuan very much. Nian'an is also a filial child. Not bad at all.
Pei Yuezhi took her three children and a small dog and went back to cook first.
Back home, I started kneading the dough. Hand-pulled noodles can be made with cold water; it's okay if the dough is a little firm, it will make them chewier.
After kneading the dough and rolling it into a large flatbread, Pei Yuezhi sprinkled flour on it, folded the flatbread, and cut it into noodles of the desired width.
Boil another pot of water. Before the water boils, crack a few eggs and beat them. Dice the green peppers and make the sauce first.
Heat oil, pour in the eggs, and once they solidify, add the green peppers and stir-fry evenly. Add light soy sauce, oyster sauce, soybean paste, and salt, stir-fry until fragrant, then add a little water. Finally, thicken with a thin cornstarch slurry.
Once the water boiled, Pei Yuezhi added the noodles. These noodles were a bit wide, and they were cooked in about ten minutes. She then scooped them into a bowl of cold water, and it was time to eat.
Pei Yuezhi sent Li Nian'an back to call her grandmother and mother over for dinner.
The two children were also placed on stools. Luckily, the original owner's husband had made a large table, otherwise there really wouldn't have been enough room for more and more people.
Knowing that today was the first time she had invited Grandma Liu to eat, she specially added two extra eggs. The fragrant green pepper and egg sauce, paired with the smooth and chewy noodles, was something Pei Yuezhi absolutely loved.
Despite Grandma Liu's repeated refusals, she couldn't persuade the mother and son.
Feeling quite embarrassed, I took a small bowl.
Pei Yuezhi took the bowl back from her and said, "Auntie, this bowl is for the children, you can have this one."
Grandma Liu was still a little embarrassed, but Pei Yuezhi knew what she meant and handed her the extra bowl.
“Auntie, please don’t be so formal. I do have a favor to ask. I’m sure Yuanyuan has already told you. I sell food in town, and business is doing alright. But there’s no one to look after this child at home. I’d like to trouble you to take care of him for a while in the future.”
Grandma Liu was a very honest person: "Girl, what's wrong with you? We live next door. It's a good thing that you can cheer up and know how to live life. Besides, Yuanyuan is your friend. Why are you asking me for anything?"
"I know Auntie is kind-hearted, but I can't let you take care of the child for free. Please don't refuse to eat with the family, otherwise I'll feel embarrassed to ask you for help again."
"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony. These noodles look delicious!"
Everyone was slurping up large mouthfuls of noodles. The noodles, rinsed in cold water, were even smoother and more chewy. Paired with the flavorful green pepper and egg sauce, they were all very satisfied with their meal.
