After a long silence, Old Mrs. Huang asked hesitantly, "Girl, is it that your eldest son can no longer catch your eye?"
“Such a fickle person,” Jiang Nuan retorted, “Mother, do you dare to trust him?”
If he could have stayed on the mountain for a few years, she might have thought more highly of him, but now...
The timely reversal may have been due to not getting the desired result. If Wang's behavior had been slightly better, the two might have been able to continue living happily together.
Will he still be the same as he is today?
Although her rational mind told her that her boss's timely action to cut her losses was the best course of action, the emotional wounds had already created a rift, and this behavior would only deepen that rift further.
No matter how you put it, she always trusted those she employed, but once someone was disloyal, she would never use them again.
Having grown up in an orphanage, I am particularly sensitive and averse to the word "abandonment." Even though I now know that I wasn't the one who was abandoned, I still can't change my mindset for a while.
Her eldest son's previous actions of abandoning his child and disregarding the safety of the whole family really crossed her bottom line!
Now that he has abandoned Wang once again, she has become even more suspicious of this son.
Upon hearing this, the old lady fell silent.
She just felt that her grandson was a bit unreliable and not steady enough; she hadn't really thought much deeper about it.
However, when it comes to trust, she felt that the word "trust" could not be applied to her grandson under any circumstances; she was simply too afraid.
"It seems like they're not quite sure."
“That’s right,” Jiang Nuan sighed. “He’s my own flesh and blood after all, so don’t blame me for being heartless. I’ll give him one last chance. If he still can’t be won back, I won’t bother with this again.”
"For Da Niu and the others' sake, at least don't be too distant..."
“Mother,” Jiang Nuan interrupted the old lady, “If it weren’t for Da Niu and the others, we would have kicked him out long ago for all the stupid things he’s done. Giving him a chance now is just to hope that he can improve and at least help Da Niu and the others.”
It's a way of making use of waste!
If things were still like before, she really wouldn't be able to resist slapping this person to death.
"You..."
The old lady had absolutely no idea what to say.
She felt her daughter-in-law was too extreme, but she also knew she couldn't blame her; her grandson's behavior was indeed worrying.
Finally, with a long sigh, he simply let go, saying, "Whatever you want."
"It's good that Mother understands."
Jiang Nuan breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that the old man would protect his grandson and not let her do anything.
"There must be a reason why you did it."
After the old lady finished speaking, she felt the atmosphere was a bit somber and left.
On the other side, Old Master Huang carefully found the children's yard.
The children were reciting their lessons, swaying their heads as they did so, while a group of women watched them with loving eyes, their hands still busy with needlework.
"Second sister-in-law, is the coat you're wearing for Da Niu?"
"Yeah, I'm just killing time anyway, might as well make them some clothes. Da Ya is growing too fast, I'll make them later."
Upon hearing this, Jin couldn't help but point with her finger and say, "Second sister-in-law, this place seems to be wrong."
"Wrong?" Xie was taken aback, then examined the clothes again. "I think it's perfectly right, where's the mistake?"
"The sleeves are upside down here!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Xie stood up in bewilderment. "How could it be a rebellion? Liu Yun taught me step by step, didn't she, Liu Yun?"
“Young Madam,” Liu Yun said, feeling wronged, “you didn’t do it the way I told you to.”
Forehead……
That's awkward.
Immediately, everyone burst into laughter, some even unable to straighten up.
"Jiaojiao, don't make things difficult for yourself. Leave the needlework to Liuyun and the others. You just need to manage the household and read the accounts."
"Seventh Sister," Xie said, feeling frustrated, "Am I really that bad?"
To prove herself, Xie picked up Er Ya and said, "See? The clothes you're wearing are the ones I made."
"Second sister-in-law," Jin couldn't hold back any longer, "I also think Liuyun's needlework is quite good. Yours is crooked and crooked, so it can only be worn by Erya."
The child is young and doesn't know right from wrong, nor does he understand whether he minds or not.
That's hurtful.
Madam Xie knew she wasn't very good at needlework, but she hadn't given up. She couldn't believe she was that clumsy, and then...
After thinking for a moment, she said dejectedly, "Forget it, I won't waste fabric anymore."
If you don't have talent, you just don't have talent; even if someone teaches you step by step, it won't work.
“It’s not that bad,” Jin said carefully. “The stitches are a bit big, the lines are a bit crooked, and it’s not very pretty. Everything else is fine, especially the color scheme. The combination of red and green is particularly… festive.”
Jin couldn't continue making things up; she felt she was lying against her conscience.
Haha...
Seeing Xie's face grow increasingly dark, everyone burst into laughter again.
"I won't do it anymore, I won't do it again."
Ms. Xie felt that she was just making things difficult for herself.
Is it bad to keep a good account book or to show off your power? There are so many people in the family who can do needlework, why make things difficult for yourself?
At this moment, Da Niu timidly spoke up, "Second Aunt, I won't mind, you do it."
He didn't really want to wear it either; every time he saw Er Ya's crooked clothes, he felt it was an eyesore.
However, they were also attached to the warmth mixed in with the clothes and couldn't bear to refuse it.
"It's too late to complain now," Xie said, unable to express her feelings. "Let your third aunt do it. Your second aunt is really not cut out for it."
Children's clothes are too intricate to handle, so adults' clothes are much easier to make. They can be done quickly and easily, and the men in the family wouldn't dare utter a word.
"Anything is fine, I'm not picky."
Upon hearing this, Madam Xie couldn't help but pat Da Niu's head, "What a good boy."
Unfortunately, he was born with mindless parents.
Huang Chuan stood to the side for a long time, sensing the increasingly lively atmosphere, but dared not show himself.
I always felt that I would break this happiness and tranquility.
However, as time dragged on and no one showed any sign of leaving, Huang Chuan finally appeared after clearing his throat twice.
Upon seeing this, Xie's face immediately turned cold. "What are you doing here?"
A strong sense of defensiveness and vigilance rose in his eyes.
Although she had anticipated that this person would come looking for her and had even gathered a group of her sisters to support her, Xie still couldn't help but feel depressed when she actually saw him.
"Second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law," Huang said nervously, "I... I came to see Da Niu and the others."
"Just to take a look?"
His words were filled with doubt and scrutiny.
"I……"
Huang Chuan wanted to explain, but didn't know where to begin.
Even if no one said it outright, he knew he was not well-liked.
"Father," Da Niu asked in confusion, "shouldn't you be on the mountain taking care of Mother?"
One sentence made Huang Chuan's face turn bright red with embarrassment. After a long while, he stammered, "Your mother is at your maternal grandmother's house, where someone is taking care of her. I came to see you."
"We're fine, you can leave after you've seen us."
