"Have you had breakfast since you came so early? If not, I just made some lean meat porridge, we can eat together."
Weng Hong glanced at the wall clock; it was only eight o'clock. It would take him at least an hour to cycle here from home!
She should have left at seven o'clock, but she didn't know if she had eaten breakfast, so she still asked.
The lean meat porridge she cooked was just right; her daughter could eat it when she woke up.
"No, Mother-in-law, I've already eaten at home."
Today, my dad and I went out to buy a door and also to bring some cuttlefish over to help Sulan recover.
I heard that snakehead fish soup is good for people who have undergone surgery, so I went to catch some last night.
Those eels and crayfish are for you and your father-in-law.
These are all wild-caught; they're hard to buy outside.
Their village is relatively close to the county seat; others are much farther away.
Normally, people wouldn't bring fish here to sell, especially wild fish like this.
One reason is that they don't have the time to catch them, and the other is that they feel they can't make much money from them and it's a waste of time, so they might as well stay home and do farm work!
At most, when they went to the market, they would take the eggs they had saved at home, as well as some wild game that they caught while hunting, to the town market to exchange for some money.
They rarely bring them to the county town; it's too far and inconvenient.
"Yes, snakehead fish soup does indeed help with the recovery of people who have undergone surgery."
These few of yours are quite large.
Today is a perfect day to make soup for Sulan.
You said you came with your father?
Where is your dad?
Why didn't you bring it with you?
In any case, there's no need to rush back.
"You can go back after lunch!"
Although she had always disliked her in-laws, it was because she did not acknowledge the marriage between her daughter and their family.
Now that they've come, we should at least invite our in-laws to have a meal!
"My dad went back first, riding the tractor with the delivery driver."
Because we're moving today, we have to pull the door back and put it back in place.
The village chief and the villagers are still waiting for my dad to come back!
So he can't visit in person this time. My dad said he'll come with my mom next time.
Yu Chengyuan explained with a smile.
He was somewhat surprised, not expecting his mother-in-law to invite his father to stay for lunch.
"So that's how it is!"
Let's wait until next time!
But what did you mean by moving?
Are they planning to move away from Zizhu Village?
Is it that biased old woman who can't tolerate them and wants to drive them away?
“Mother-in-law, our eldest son’s family is moving to the old house because our eldest son’s family and my grandmother’s family have separated.”
My grandmother now lives with the second and third wives, while we, the eldest son's family, live in the old house.
The old house is a bit far from where we live now, and it's somewhat remote from the village, but it has everything we need.
The old house had been uninhabited for a long time, so yesterday we asked the villagers to help us renovate it.
But don't worry, we won't live in that old house forever.
"I'll build the new house when the time is right."
Yu Chengyuan explained in detail, and also promised that a new house would be built in the future.
He was a little intimidated by his mother-in-law, and he didn't know why.
"They've separated?"
Not living together yet, that's great!
The old house is a bit worn out, but that's okay. It can be repaired and still be lived in.
Building a new house takes time and effort, so there's no need to rush.
Weng Hong couldn't hide her joy.
I didn't expect this kid to be so quick; he's already separated from the family so soon.
She thought it would take at least half a month or a month, since she had heard that the old woman was quite formidable.
One woman manages about ten grown men.
It's better to live far away from that biased old woman now, so that my daughter won't be bothered by seeing that immoral old woman.
Her in-laws were honest and kind people, so she wasn't worried about her daughter being bullied.
Just then, the daughter's cries came from inside the house, "Waaaaah..."
"The little one is awake!"
Mother-in-law, I'm going to check on Tangtang.
Yu Chengyuan had wanted to go in and see his wife and children for a long time, but he was afraid of waking them up because they were still asleep.
Go!
The door wasn't locked.
I went to the kitchen to serve Sulan a bowl of porridge.
The child's maternal grandfather will be back soon; you can talk to him then.
Weng Hong waved her hand, and before her son-in-law could reply, she turned and went to the kitchen.
Knowing he must miss his wife and children, I told him to go inside quickly.
Yu Chengyuan quickly pushed open the door and went inside.
When we went in, the little one had stopped crying because she was eating her delicious breakfast!
However, upon hearing the door open, he turned around and stared at it for a while.
Then she laughed, and then continued to nurse.
"Wife...you're awake."
Yu Chengyuan called out, then moved a small chair and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Chengyuan, how long have you been here?"
"Did you arrive very early?"
Liu Sulan looked up and asked with a smile.
"I arrived a while ago, around eight o'clock."
Yu Chengyuan noticed that his wife's complexion had improved, and thought that his mother-in-law was taking good care of her.
He was grateful that his mother-in-law helped take care of his wife, and he was happy even if she was a little harsh on him.
Besides, his mother-in-law seemed to have changed her opinion of him quite a bit, and today she even told him not to be too anxious.
“Chengyuan, you don’t need to keep coming here to see me, or Grandma will scold you again.”
Liu Sulan didn't want to put her husband in a difficult position, and she didn't want him to work so hard.
It's not easy for someone from the countryside to make a trip to the city.
"Honey, don't worry, she can't control me."
