As soon as they arrived at the main hall, they saw a large pot of chicken soup on the table. Su Meijuan looked at her daughter curiously and asked, "Ningning, where is your mother-in-law? Has she left?"
"Well, she went home to cook for her father-in-law."
"Why don't you ask your parents-in-law to come over and eat with you, kid?"
"Mom, my mother-in-law said she left some for us to eat."
Hearing this, Su Meijuan said earnestly, "Ningning, your parents-in-law treat you well. You must respect them well in the future. It's a pity that Zhenhua passed away early, otherwise how could you..."
"Mom, I'm fine now, don't worry."
Tang Wanning really doesn't want to get married now. Firstly, she really doesn't trust men. Secondly, she wants to spend more time with her family and make up for them.
Su Meijuan thought her daughter couldn't let go of Xu Zhenhua, so she could only sigh helplessly, "Okay, Mom won't worry, let's eat quickly."
Looking at the big pot of chicken soup, cold eggplant and rice, the family couldn't help swallowing their saliva. It was so delicious.
Although life is much better now than in previous years, we can still only eat enough and it is still far from eating well.
After the family had a delicious meal, Tang Wanning began to clean up the dishes. Seeing this, Su Meijuan quickly said, "Ningning, you're not feeling well. Go and rest. Leave these to me."
After she finished speaking, Su Meijuan quickly cleaned up the dishes, not giving Tang Wanning any chance to do anything. This might be the difference between a biological mother and a mother-in-law.
In her previous life, Bai Xiuying would also say these words, but she would never take the initiative to clean up. She would just move her lips and wait for Tang Wanning to refuse.
"Thank you for your hard work, mother." Tang Wanning's eyes were slightly red. "I'm going back now. I'll come back to see you in two days."
Su Meijuan was reluctant to see her daughter leave, but she didn't try to stop her. She just gently reminded her, "You should have a good rest these few days. Your father and I will take care of the farm work."
Tang Huaixu was afraid that his sister would not obey, so he also tried to comfort her, "Sister, you can rest assured. Dad and Mom have always been your strong support!"
Although Tang Dehou didn't say anything, the concern in his eyes was almost overflowing.
Tang Wanning sniffed and spoke in a muffled voice, "Dad, Mom, and little brother, please don't go to the Xu family's farm to help out for the next few days.
Before Zhenhua died, wasn't the farm work done by his parents-in-law? It doesn't make sense that they wouldn't be able to finish the work after Zhenhua passed away."
"But you..."
Su Meijuan wanted to say something else, but Tang Wanning cut her off, "Mom, just listen to me."
Although she didn't know why her daughter's attitude had changed so much today, Su Meijuan knew that it was right to listen to her daughter.
"Okay, then if you have something to say, come and tell me, don't keep it to yourself."
"I understand, mother. I'll go back first."
Su Meijuan looked at the darkness outside and felt a little worried: "Let Xiaoxu take you back."
Tang Wanning originally wanted to refuse, but for some reason she thought of something and nodded in agreement.
It was already seven o'clock in the evening, and the moon had already hung in the sky. Under the moonlight, Tang Wanning and Tang Huaixu strode out of their yard.
Seeing that no one was around, Tang Wanning moved closer to Tang Huaixu and said in a low voice, "Xiaoxu, hold me up a little, and then do this... that... Got it?"
Although Tang Huaixu didn't understand why his sister did this, since his sister said so, she must have a reason to do so, and he just had to obey.
"Sister, I've got it."
Following his sister's instructions, Tang Huaixu reached out to support her, and Tang Wanning immediately immersed herself in the role, leaning her body against her brother, holding her head with her other hand, as if she would faint at any time.
Not long after they walked, they ran into Li Ailian, the village loudspeaker. She asked with concern, "What happened to Wanning?"
Tang Huaixu glanced at his sister and said with some heartache, "It's all because of you working day and night. You fainted in the fields this afternoon. The doctor said that if you keep working like this, your body will collapse sooner or later."
"Your sister is a pitiful person, too. Just after getting married, your brother-in-law..." Li Ailian sighed, looked at Tang Wanning, and advised earnestly, "Wanning, your health is the capital of revolution. If you exhaust yourself, won't your future life be even more difficult? You can't work so hard anymore. This is a good opportunity to take a break."
Tang Wanning forced a smile and said weakly, "Thank you for your concern, Auntie. I'll keep it in mind."
After that, they met a few more people along the way and exchanged greetings for a while before they arrived at the Xu family. As soon as they entered the yard, the Tang siblings saw Bai Xiuying with a sullen face, washing dishes and muttering something.
Tang Wanning said weakly, "Mom, I'm back."
When Bai Xiuying suddenly heard Tang Wanning's voice, she didn't know whether she felt guilty or something else, she was so scared that she dropped the bowl in her hand with a "bang".
Bai Xiuying hurriedly picked up the bowl from the ground, then looked at Tang Wanning with a guilty look, "Wanning, you're back. You've been tired all day too... What's wrong with you? Why are you so weak?"
Tang Huaixu sighed and repeated what he had just said to those aunts and ladies.
Hearing this, Bai Xiuying pretended to be anxious and said, "Huaixu, quickly help your sister go back to the house to rest."
"Then aunt, I will help my sister back to her room first."
"Go, go."
Bai Xiuying was in no mood to deal with Tang Wanning and his sister, so she responded perfunctorily.
But the moment the brother and sister turned around, Bai Xiuying glared at Tang Wanning's back fiercely, as if she wanted to stare a hole in her.
After entering the room, Tang Wanning immediately became lively and energetic. She smiled and patted Tang Huaixu's shoulder, "You did a good job."
Tang Huaixu smiled shyly, "Sister, if there is nothing else, I will go back first."
"Be careful on the road," Tang Wanning warned. "If your parents hear anything, explain it to them and tell them not to worry."
"I understand, sister. I'll be leaving first."
"good."
After Tang Huaixu left, Tang Wanning began to pack up. She really didn't want to stay in this house for another day, but in order to find out who called three days later, she had to stay for a while.
In fact, there was nothing much to clean up. Apart from some dowry that Tang Wanning brought when she got married, there was only a ring left in the room.
According to Xu Zhenhua, this ring was handed down from his grandmother's grandmother, and passed down to his mother. Later, Tang Wanning married him, and the ring was in Tang Wanning's hands again.
This ring is mainly white and looks exactly like mutton-fat white jade, but it is not, because its material is like plastic and it will not break no matter how it falls.
