"Sister-in-law, that's true."
Lin Jingyu chuckled and said, "There are more boys in our family. The elders have had enough of the naughty boys, so they prefer quiet and obedient girls."
When I was little, I was the most spoiled child. Whenever my older brother and cousins provoked me, they would end up being chased and "killed" by my grandmother and uncles with sticks.
Upon hearing her words, Chen Ruiqin couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Qin'er, don't listen to her nonsense."
As soon as Mrs. Zhang returned home, she heard her beloved granddaughter bragging.
As she walked in, she said, "When this girl was little, she was no different from any other boy; they were both mischievous and naughty. There were many times when your mother chased her with a stick and beat her."
She's definitely not some obedient and quiet little girl; don't be fooled by her.
"Grandma, please don't reveal my past."
Lin Jingyu smiled and quickly came forward to help the person to sit down on the sofa.
He said to her in a coquettish tone, "What if I leave a bad impression on my sister-in-law?"
"Qin'er already knows what kind of person you are, so it doesn't matter whether I tell you or not!"
Grandma Zhang smiled at her granddaughter-in-law and said, "Qin'er, am I right?"
Chen Ruiqin responded with a smile, "Grandma, my little sister is a gentle and kind girl!"
"Grandma, did you hear me?!"
Lin Jingyu smiled and offered the old lady a cup of warm water.
Remembering that she had just returned from the Lu family, she then asked, "Grandma, how is Xiaobao'er? Is the ointment working?"
"Of course it works."
Madam Zhang nodded, drank half a cup of warm water, and said, "It's not very serious. Xiao Bao'er won't scratch anymore after the ointment is applied."
"As long as it works."
Lin Jingyu added, "It's best to go to the hospital for a check-up. You'll feel more at ease if the doctor says there's nothing wrong."
By the way, Qiuyue from our village gave birth to a daughter, and she almost had a difficult childbirth.
Fortunately, the midwife was skilled and prepared ginseng chicken soup for her, which helped her deliver the baby safely.
"I'm pretty lucky."
Madam Zhang sighed softly, "Giving birth is not easy for women, it's safer to give birth in a hospital."
Fortunately, we live in the county seat, so going to the hospital is convenient.
"That's true."
Lin Jingyu's gaze fell on Chen Ruiqin, "Sister-in-law, if you feel unwell, go to the hospital."
I also brought ginseng with me.
Grandma, after my sister-in-law gives birth, we'll make sure she has a good nourishing meal.
How do you have ginseng?
Madam Zhang was extremely surprised. "We also have ginseng at home, and we've prepared it all for your sister-in-law."
I was thinking that your sister-in-law would need ginseng to replenish her energy after giving birth, but I didn't expect you to have prepared ginseng as well.
Sitting next to them, Chen Ruiqin heard their conversation and a happy smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
At the same time, a warm feeling rose in my heart; it felt so good to be valued by my family.
"Grandma, use this ginseng I brought first."
Lin Jingyu explained, "It's about a hundred years old, and most importantly, it's already been cut open. We need to use it up as soon as possible to avoid losing its medicinal effects."
"A century-old ginseng?"
Madam Zhang looked surprised. "This is a rare find, and it's hard to come by. Even if you have the money, it's not easy to buy."
"Yes, we were lucky."
Lin Jingyu did not reveal Yang Shujue's identity.
After all, in everyone's eyes, she was just a child from an ordinary family.
Then he added, "No matter how good something is, it's still a kind of medicine. You still need to use it when you need it. Grandma, don't keep it. This ginseng is quite big. You and Grandpa can make some soup with it occasionally."
"Okay, we understand."
Madam Zhang nodded with a smile.
He then said to Chen Ruiqin, "Qin'er, whatever you want to eat today, we'll make it. If there's anything we don't have at home, we'll ask Xiaoyu to go out and buy it."
"Grandma, just make me something to eat."
Chen Ruiqin responded with a smile, "I'm not picky about food now, as long as it fills my stomach, that's fine."
"Okay, then let's just grab something simple for lunch today."
Madam Zhang then asked Lin Jingyu, "And you, what would you like to eat?"
"Are Grandpa and Uncles coming back for dinner?"
“Your maternal grandfather will definitely come back. Your uncles and the others rarely come back. When they are busy, they may not come home for several days at a time.”
"Okay, how about we make a soup and stir-fried vegetarian noodles for lunch?"
"Make some meat for your grandfather; he likes to eat meat."
"Okay, let's make Grandpa's favorite braised pork."
As Lin Jingyu spoke, she glanced at her watch again. "Grandma, sister-in-law, I'm going to check on Xiaobao while it's still early. If he's alright, I'll be right back."
"Go quickly."
Madam Zhang waved for her to leave.
Turning to Chen Ruiqin with concern, he asked, "Qin'er, do you want to take a nap? I'll eat you at lunchtime."
"Grandma, I'm not sleepy yet."
Chen Ruiqin responded with a smile, "I'm going to do some clothes; it's boring sitting here."
"Will it be hard?"
Madam Zhang got up and reached out to help the person sitting up, saying, "I think you should go to the study and read some books."
"Grandma, you don't need to help me."
Zhang Ruiqin, somewhat amused and exasperated, stood up deftly. "I'm not that delicate. Please instruct me on how to make a baby's swaddle blanket."
"We can make a few more, since they don't dry easily in winter. It's good to have more to replace them."
"Okay, I'll listen to Grandma."
...
At this time.
Several trucks were just entering Chunnan County.
After parking the car, several people got out.
