Wang Qiuli didn't have much contact with Niu Cuihua. When she saw that Niu Cuihua wanted to help her cook, her cheeks immediately turned red and she spoke cautiously.
"No, mother. You're already so old, how can I have the nerve to ask you to serve me? Besides, you finally came home, and I'm not only cooking for you, but also ordering you around. Is this something a human being can do? Besides, if Ai Dang finds out about this, how am I going to explain it to him?"
While saying this, she kept winking at Li Mingxi, hoping that she could help her persuade Niu Cuihua.
Li Mingxi received help from her second aunt, but she could do nothing about her grandmother's decision!
Therefore, she could only pretend not to see it!
Niu Cuihua spoke up, "Okay, don't worry about me. You've been busy all day, haven't you? Go and have a rest. I'll help you cook. When it's done, I'll have Xiaoxi wake you up!"
While speaking, she pushed Wang Qiuli out with all her strength!
"No, Mom, I'd better do it myself, otherwise I will always feel uncomfortable!"
Hearing this, Niu Cuihua glared angrily, "What's wrong with you? Okay, stop arguing with me here. Go and rest quickly, and I'll help you cook. Otherwise, if we keep arguing back and forth, how long will it take to cook?"
Wang Qiuli understood this logic, but she was still a little conflicted. Her husband was a stubborn man. If he knew that her mother-in-law had just come home and was helping her cook, he would definitely say something!
What’s more, my niece Xiaoxi is here with me, and I don’t know what she will say when she gets home!
So, although she wanted to be lazy, she still gritted her teeth and persevered for the sake of her reputation.
"Forget it, Mom, I'll do it myself. Otherwise, if the Ai Dang finds out, they'll definitely be mad at me!"
It is a good thing that her son can be the head of the family, but Niu Cuihua is not the kind of mother-in-law who would bully her daughter-in-law. Therefore, when she heard her daughter-in-law say this, she spoke with some regret.
"You've been married for so many years, why are you still afraid of him? What's the matter? Can he eat you or something? Besides, what's there for him to be angry about? He's busy all year round and never comes home. I'm not angry with him. He dares to be angry with me? Try it, I want to see if he has the guts!"
At this point, she looked her daughter-in-law up and down again, "You too, we both earn money and get paid. Why should you listen to him? Why doesn't he listen to you?"
Hearing her mother-in-law say this, Wang Qiuli's face froze and she looked at Li Mingxi beside her awkwardly, wondering what she was thinking.
That’s what she said, but over the years, she’s gotten used to it and listens to men in everything, and she can’t change it in a short time!
Besides, Li Aidang didn't make any excessive demands. Over the years, the couple's relationship was almost as good as honey!
After saying this, Niu Cuihua didn't care what her daughter-in-law said and walked straight to the coal stove.
"Okay, stop talking and go lie down in the house. It's getting dark, so let's not waste time here!"
Seeing her mother-in-law's slick look, Wang Qiuli opened her mouth and wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Li Mingxi.
"Second Aunt, please stop talking. I think grandma has made up her mind to cook for you. If you don't let her do it today, she will definitely not want to do it for you!"
Since Li Mingxi had said this, even if Wang Qiuli wanted to say something else, she had to give up!
Looking at Li Mingxi, she said embarrassedly, "Okay, Xiaoxi, there's food in the cupboard over there. If you want to eat, just go get it yourself. I'll go back to my room and lie down for a while!"
Seeing the tired face of Second Aunt, Li Mingxi nodded quickly, "Okay, okay, I understand, Second Aunt, don't worry, I'll get whatever I want to eat myself, you can go back to your room and lie down!"
Things have come to this point, and it would be a bit pretentious for Wang Qiuli to refuse again.
On this side, seeing that the second aunt had returned to the house, Li Mingxi turned around and went to the kitchen.
"Grandma, I see Second Aunt is very tired. How about this, you give her an egg to supplement her nutrition!"
"I would like to give her some nutrition, but look at their kitchen. Where can I get eggs for her?"
After hearing what grandma said, Li Mingxi took a closer look at the kitchen of his second uncle's house.
I have to say, the kitchen of my second uncle’s house is really clean. Apart from some noodles and the necessary salt, there is really nothing in it!
Looking at the little bit of noodles, Li Mingxi felt that these were probably bought by his second uncle and his family specially for some special circumstances!
Just as she thought this, she heard her grandmother sighing.
"This couple, all day long, probably never go to the market to buy anything. Look at this empty kitchen. Can this even be called a kitchen? I really don't know how they spend their days!"
"Hey, Xiaoxi, go borrow something from the neighbor next door, and we'll go to the market tomorrow to buy it and return it to them!"
Hearing her grandmother's instructions, Li Mingxi spoke uncertainly, "Grandma, I'll go borrow it. Will they give it to me?"
Niu Cuihua said nonchalantly, "Why not give it to me? We're all neighbors, can't I lend you some vegetables? What kind of neighbor are you?"
"Grandma, that's what I said, but my neighbor doesn't know me, so why would he lend it to me?"
Niu Cuihua was just angry, but after being reminded by Li Mingxi, she realized that this was not their team and no one knew them!
"Forget it, I'll go borrow it. I've met the old lady next door once, she should know me!"
"You clean up here first, I'll go borrow something!"
As she spoke, Niu Cuihua walked out.
Next door, the old lady was cleaning the stove. In the past two days, her son came home late from work every day, which caused them to eat late.
"Is anyone there?"
Hearing the sudden sound at the door, she looked confused, put down the dishes in her hands, and asked as she walked out.
"Who is it?"
As she spoke, she walked to the gate and saw Niu Cuihua standing outside.
Looking at the old lady in front of her, Niu Cuihua rubbed her hands and spoke with an embarrassed look.
"Big sister, do you still remember me?"
The old lady nodded. "I recognize you. Aren't you the mother of Director Li next door? Sister, it's been a long time since we last met. Have you been busy at home lately?"
Hearing this, Niu Cuihua quickly waved her hands, "No, no, I'm not living well in my hometown, so I don't want to come to the county town to trouble the children. Besides, the Ai Dang couple are so busy every day that they almost don't have time to rest. I can't come here to cause them trouble!"
