Old Mrs. Pei also heard about the braised pork. On her way back just now, a nosy woman asked her to control her extravagant daughter-in-law so that she would not come to bother them again when there was a famine.
Originally, she thought that the second son's wife had been working very hard these days, so what's wrong with having a good meal?
But when she thought of what the eldest brother's wife had just said, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Old Man Pei came back with Old Lady Pei. Seeing the old woman like this, he knew that she was upset.
"You, don't listen to the gossips of those village gossips. And the eldest son's wife, she never wants to see the second son's wife doing well. You don't have to take their words to heart. We treat the second son's wife well for Xiaofan. As long as Xiaofan lives a good life, we should be happy."
"I know that."
Although Mrs. Pei said this, her expression was indifferent.
When the second daughter-in-law made trouble before, she was very satisfied as long as she did not make trouble.
But these days, she got along well with the second son's wife, and even developed a bit of a mother-daughter relationship. That's why Mrs. Pei paid special attention to what Zhou Fang said.
So those words from the second son’s wife were just to coax her, an old woman?
She actually knew the character of the second son's wife, so how could she actually believe it?
Old man Pei saw that his wife was obviously still eating, but pretended not to care, and took a few puffs of his cigarette.
In fact, not to mention the old woman, even he would have had some expectations for the second son's wife. No wonder the old woman was disappointed.
Outside, Zhou Fang was still saying something to Xiao Wenzi in a sarcastic tone. Even Old Man Pei felt a little annoyed. He tapped the pipe in his hand and puffed out smoke.
"Hey, Xiaofan is here? Your grandparents are so obsessed with you that they always favor you. How could they forget to bring some braised pork for you when they were eating it?"
Zhou Fang has always been a person who doesn't care about manners. She didn't act like an elder to Pei Yifan, such a young child. She just started to mock him and was about to continue to vent her dissatisfaction, but when she saw Li Miaomiao who came in and the thing in her hand, the words got stuck in her throat.
Zhou Fang wanted to say it was impossible. How could Li Miaomiao, who loved to eat alone, be willing to share the good things with others? But her nose was so sharp that she could already smell the aroma of braised pork.
Xiao Wenzi even shouted out directly
"Mom, braised pork, the taste of braised pork, I want to eat braised pork too."
As Xiao Wenzi said this, his small eyes were fixed on the basket in Li Miaomiao's hand. If Li Miaomiao had not been so fierce in the past, making Xiao Wenzi afraid of this aunt, he would have rushed over to snatch it away.
Even so, Xiao Wenzi kept crying and making a fuss, demanding to blow on the braised pork.
"What are you eating? Braised pork! You're unlucky. You don't have grandparents who love you, nor do you have parents who can earn enough to buy braised pork for you!"
Zhou Fang said this, and slapped Xiao Wenzi on the butt, and Xiao Wenzi cried even harder.
When Zhou Fang saw her son crying like this, her parents-in-law didn't say a word to help. It turned out that if his grandson was not loved by his parents-in-law, he would be treated differently. She felt distressed, hated her son for not living up to his expectations, and hated her parents-in-law for being partial to her.
"Okay, why are you crying? Come with me into the room."
"No, no, braised pork!"
Xiao Wenzi is also a foodie. Even so, he was unwilling to give up eating the braised pork and sat on the ground crying.
If it were someone else, seeing their nephew crying like this, they might give him some braised pork. However, Li Miaomiao had no intention of doing so. She ignored Xiao Wenzi who was crying so hard and walked towards her parents-in-law's room.
Seeing Xiao Wenzi making such a fuss, Chen Xuexiang wanted to step out and try to persuade him, but Daya and Erya quickly pulled her back.
Their mother was confused and foolish, but they were not. They knew in their hearts who was closer to their third room. If it weren't for their second aunt's help, their third room would not have been able to get so many things, and could only have gotten the least.
They haven't repaid Second Aunt for her kindness yet, so how could they cause trouble for her?
Zhou Fang watched Li Miaomiao and her son enter the old couple's room with a very gloomy face. She didn't even feel sorry for her beloved son. She pulled him hard and dragged him into the room to avoid embarrassing him here.
Upstairs, Old Mrs. Pei looked at the basket that Li Miaomiao brought over, which contained a large bowl full of braised pork.
"Second son's wife, what are you doing? You finally bought some meat, but instead of keeping it for yourself, you gave it to us two old people. We are too old to eat such good food."
When Old Man Pei heard what Old Lady Pei said, his mouth twitched. This old woman who said one thing but meant another
"Mom, look at what you said. At your age, you should eat and drink well. I said before that I would be filial to you two on behalf of Guoan, and I didn't say that empty words."
"Of course I know. It's enough that you have this filial piety. Take the meat back with you. You've lost weight recently."
Mrs. Pei's words were really filled with some heartache. She had just thought of something wrong, but she was not really interested in eating this bite of braised pork. As long as the second son's wife had this intention, it was better than eating anything else.
"Mom, I'm lucky today. I bought some good meat. You've been taking care of us, mother and son, these past few days. Now I want to be filial to you and dad for once. You can't refuse, otherwise I'll be unhappy."
Since Li Miaomiao said so, Old Mrs. Pei looked at the old man who couldn't help but look at the braised pork with greedy eyes and nodded.
"Okay, I should accept the filial piety of my daughter-in-law and grandson. How about this, second daughter-in-law, you and Xiaofan come and have a meal with us old couple? After the separation, although it is quieter, it is a bit lonely for us old couple to eat."
Mrs. Pei invited Li Miaomiao and her son to dinner, and Mr. Pei agreed very much, obviously looking forward to it.
Hearing the loneliness in her mother-in-law's tone, and seeing her father-in-law seemingly not caring but unable to help but look at his grandson a few more times, Li Miaomiao couldn't bear to refuse even if she wanted to.
"As long as mom and dad don't mind, we'll come over often to eat with you guys in the future. I hope mom won't mind us then."
"Don't mind, don't mind, just come!"
When Mrs. Pei saw that Li Miaomiao agreed, she was so happy that she quickly went to the kitchen to clean up the dishes.
During the meal, both Old Man Pei and Old Lady Pei were particularly happy and satisfied. Li Miaomiao listened to the sound of throwing things and banging in the next room, and thought that next time when she ate with her parents-in-law, she should invite them to the old house to avoid the noise and affecting people's appetite.
After dinner, Li Miaomiao and her son stayed for a long time, chatting with the old couple, before leaving the upper room and going back.
Pei Yifan, who came out with Li Miaomiao, just forced a relaxed and happy smile in front of Old Man Pei and Old Lady Pei, but it disappeared as soon as he left the upper room. He glanced at Li Miaomiao from time to time with a worried look on his face.
The little guy is like this, Li Miaomiao can't help but feel puzzled. (Collect 100 plus more)
