“Then I’ll go kill them right now,” Liu Wang said.
"You're not allowed to go! Cough cough cough!" Grandma Stone coughed so badly that it looked like she was about to cough up her lungs.
"Shut up. This is none of your business at home," Liu Wang roared.
Liu Shitou: "Dad, I'll go! You chat with Auntie."
“Sister-in-law, please sit down. You don’t need to worry about her; she can’t interfere in family matters,” Liu Wang said.
Is it simply that the younger sister-in-law is thinking about her older sister-in-law? Song Yan thinks it's unlikely.
Aunt Wei gets breathless after talking for a while, and she keeps pausing after speaking a bit. She keeps talking about things from the past.
As she talked about her husband, Aunt Wei couldn't help but wipe away her tears.
This woman's got a trick up her sleeve! She's trying to build rapport.
Liu Shitou was outside killing a chicken, and Song Yan couldn't sit still any longer and wanted to help.
Chang Xiaohu couldn't let his second sister-in-law do any work. At home, it was usually Sister Jiang and his godmother who did the cooking. Sister Jiang, in particular, didn't want his second sister-in-law to go into the kitchen. How could he let her do the work?
"Second Sister-in-law, please sit down. I'll go help." Chang Xiaohu stopped Song Yan, who was about to help. "I promise I'll make sure the food is spotless."
On the day he arrived home, Xiao Hu knew that his second sister-in-law's house was as clean as it could possibly be.
Song Yan was also curious to hear the gossip. What could have made her mother-in-law, such a kind person, so angry? She was really curious. Song Yan actually sat down on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), listening to what they were saying while occasionally glancing at the carriage outside. She couldn't let anything on the carriage go missing!
"I've never seen such a lazy daughter-in-law. You're hopeless! You can't control her, can you?" Grandma Stone said with a mocking expression.
Aunt Wei: "You still expect my daughter-in-law to cook for you? You old hag, how dare you?"
"Cough cough cough! They don't even have the sense to see people properly!" Grandma Stone coughed so much, but she still couldn't resist finding fault.
“Liu Wang!” Wei Xiaogu looked at her husband.
"Don't you want to eat?" Liu Wang's words finally shut his mother up.
Wei Xiaogu: "Sister-in-law, don't you know that about her? Xiaoyan looks like an educated person, she must be a sent-down youth, right?"
"Hmm!" Aunt Wei was clearly trying her best to endure it.
“It’s good to be an educated youth.” Wei Xiaogu looked at Song Yan’s hands. “Farm work, you’ll learn to do it slowly.”
What does that mean? Does it mean they think Song Yan can't work?
Aunt Wei knew how lucky her daughter-in-law was, and she didn't want others to talk about it. "Xiao Yan doesn't need to work in the fields; she teaches children in the village to earn work points." This wasn't a lie; Song Yan did go to class. Aunt Wei didn't say anything else; they weren't worthy to know.
Now, the younger sister-in-law asks most of the questions, and the mother-in-law answers. It's clear that the younger sister-in-law wants to build a closer relationship, but the mother-in-law is quite cold. The atmosphere in their conversations has lost its initial warmth.
Liu Wang's gaze toward his mother darkened considerably. His mother tried to interject several times, but hesitated, fearing her son would shut up.
