Luo Chen glanced at the silver notes on the table with disgust: "I don't want her money."
Xiao Yunying picked up the silver note in front of Luo Chen and stuffed it into his hand: "No, don't refuse it if it's free. Don't turn down money. This is what she owes you. Keep it. You are still young and don't have much to spend now. There will always be a time when you need money. You can even save it for Xin'er's dowry."
After she finished speaking, she didn't care what the children thought. She stood up and clapped her hands: "Alright, alright, let's not dwell on this anymore. Luo Sheng told me last night that you haven't been able to rest properly on the way here. I boiled some water and had Meng Chun and Meng Xia mix it for you. Go take a shower and change your clothes. Put your dirty clothes in the laundry basket and wash them all together when it gets warmer."
Luo Li jumped off the stool, her expression no longer as blank as before, indicating that she now knew how to deal with the situation.
He asked, "Mom, I want to eat peanut glutinous rice balls..."
Xiao Yunying smiled and said, "It's ready. I'll cook it for you at noon."
"Thank you, Mom. I'm going to take a bath now."
After saying that, the first one ran out.
Xiao Yunying urged Luo Chen and Luo Yang to go together, and only after she and Zheng Yunwan were left in the living room did she breathe a long sigh of relief.
She went to the kitchen, added water to the pot, and stuffed a few pieces of firewood into the stove. Then she took out two basins and poured half a basin of pine nuts into one of them.
She brought out two porcelain basins and peeled pine nuts with Zheng Yunwan, discussing the dishes they would make for lunch.
Pine nuts are used to make pine nut corn. Eating sweets can improve one's mood, so she wanted to cook several sweet and sour dishes for lunch.
After talking for a while, Zheng Yunwan looked at his face carefully and said, "Sister Yunying, your lips are a little chapped. Let me pour you a cup of tea to moisten your lips."
Xiao Yunying pursed her lips and felt around. She had been worried about the children and her ex-sister-in-law all morning and seemed to have not had a sip of water. "This season is so dry. Could I have a cup of longan and red date tea? Thank you."
The last "thank you" was deliberately raised in pitch and went around in circles. Zheng Yunwan knew that she was in a good mood and was deliberately teasing her like this. She smiled and went to the kitchen to make tea.
Xiao Yunying hummed a song as she peeled the split pine nuts one by one, thinking that if she had nothing to do in the afternoon, she could also peel some chestnuts to make some snacks for the children.
Since I have nothing to do at home anyway, I might as well find something to do to pass the time.
Just then, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a figure walk in through the door. Xiao Yunying turned her head and saw that it was the former sister-in-law's nanny. She asked, "Is there something you need?"
The old woman looked around to make sure she was the only one in the living room before she spoke. But her first words made Xiao Yunying's face darken.
"Young lady, you've been married to General Luo for quite some time now, haven't you? Are you still not pregnant? When do you plan to have a child of your own?"
