Achoo!
Chen Suwen, who was tending to the vegetable garden, sneezed. The noise was so loud that the little ones who were helping her pull weeds were startled.
"Grandma, are you sick? Drink some hot water."
When Zhao Lexin heard Chen Suwen sneeze, she quickly came over to check on her and even took the water bottle hanging on the shelf for Chen Suwen.
"Grandma, do we need to see a doctor? Or get a shot?" Zhou Mei quickly ran over to ask her grandmother.
As she spoke, she glared at Zhao Lexin.
Ever since this young lady came to their house, she has felt that her status has been threatened.
Actually, her grandmother hadn't paid much attention to her before, but she still felt a sense of crisis after Zhao Lexin came to her house.
"Grandma, is the sun too strong? Are you sunburnt?" Zhou Xian also wanted to show off, otherwise if his older and younger sisters all showed off, wouldn't he not get Grandma's love?
Chen Suwen looked at the children surrounding her and shook her head. "I'm fine, I don't have a cold."
"You guys get to work quickly, don't slack off."
Chen Suwen waved to the children to get to work and couldn't help but rub her nose.
She's in very good health; she shouldn't have caught a cold.
Although it has indeed cooled down a bit recently, the temperature drop in Guangzhou is not excessive, and she shouldn't catch a cold.
Let's see how it goes. If it really is a cold, then we'll buy some medicine. For now, we don't need to worry about it.
Chen Suwen continued to tidy up the vegetable garden, pulling up all the old and inedible vegetables, as well as gourd vines and other things.
Let's leave it for now, then chop it up and use it as compost later. At least we can make the most of it and avoid waste.
"Cunzhi's mom, are you turning over the vegetable garden? I heard there are some good things at the supply and marketing cooperative today, aren't you going to buy some?"
When He Caiying passed by the Zhou family's house, she saw Chen Suwen turning over vegetables with her grandchildren and couldn't help but call out to her.
Chen Suwen turned to look at her. Although the other person's name was He Caiying, which was only one character different from Shen Wenxiu's mother He Caiping's name, the two were not actually sisters.
They are not related by blood or paternal kin; it's just a coincidence that they both share the surname He and their names sound like sisters.
He Caiying and He Caiping didn't have much of a relationship and didn't become good friends just because their names were similar.
However, He Caiying's relationship with Chen Suwen was not good either.
Because Chen Suwen is the most wicked mother-in-law on Guangming Road, He Caiying is the most good mother-in-law on Guangming Road.
She is a renowned mother-in-law who treats her daughter-in-law better than her own daughter; she practically dotes on her daughter-in-law.
The original owner thought He Caiying was hypocritical.
After all, no mother-in-law truly likes her daughter-in-law. Even without the feeling of having her son taken away, conflicts will still arise when two people with little affection live together.
He Caiying's relationship with her daughter-in-law is so good that everyone praises it, but in her opinion, it seems particularly fake.
"Cunzhi's mom, your third daughter-in-law is still in her postpartum period. Aren't you going to buy her some nourishing food?"
"I heard there's a lot of brown sugar in this batch. If you don't hurry, everyone will have already bought it all."
He Caiying smiled and said to Chen Suwen.
Chen Suwen tossed the melon vine aside and finally looked up at He Caiying. "Have you forgotten that my son still works at the supply and marketing cooperative?"
How could her son, an insider, not know what good products the supply and marketing cooperative has or what new products it offers?
Even if she doesn't go and join the rush to buy, her son can still take advantage of being an insider to buy first.
Upon hearing this, He Caiying had a look of sudden realization. "That's right, I had forgotten that your Cunzong works at the supply and marketing cooperative."
"Cunzhi's mom, you're so lucky to have both your son and daughter by your side. It's truly enviable."
Besides her eldest son who stayed at home, He Caiying's other two sons were sent to the countryside to work, and even got married there.
He Caiying also has a daughter. Unlike Chen Suwen, she didn't scheme to get a son-in-law. She also went to the countryside to work.
They're not married yet, and Chen Suwen doesn't know if He Caiying and the others have sent money or things to her daughter. Anyway, as an outsider, she doesn't know much about the girl.
"Old Zhou and I are capable, so of course our children are capable too." Chen Suwen was not modest at all, praising her children while praising herself.
"It's all thanks to my foresight as their mother that I raised them all so well; otherwise, none of them would be as successful as they are today."
Chen Suwen tossed the small hoe to her eldest daughter-in-law and told her to continue working. She moved her small stool to face He Caiying and said, "Let me tell you, my Cunzhi is a very filial son."
“My son Cunzhi hands over his entire salary and tells me, his own mother, everything he does. I’ve told him not to bother me with everything, but he won’t listen.”
"And my Cunming, didn't he come back to see me yesterday? He even bought me clam oil..."
Chen Suwen went on and on about all her children, emphasizing how filial they were and how they tried to please their biological mother.
"And my Xiaoling, she never forgets to send me things even though she's in Yunnan Province."
“Song Che from her family once hunted a wild boar in the mountains. She even asked the locals how to make cured meat, and after she finished making it, she sent it back to me.”
"Let me tell you..."
As He Caiying listened to Chen Suwen boasting about her children, the smile on her face froze.
Who doesn't have a son?
Who doesn't have a daughter?
Well, her son and daughter certainly aren't as successful as Chen Suwen's children.
Although her eldest son also had a job, his salary was less than Zhou Cunzhi's; her second and third sons went to the countryside as educated youth and had no jobs at all.
