"Mom, is this a car too? Where did you buy it? I've never seen a car like this before!"
When Lin Chaodong and the others returned, Lin Chaobei immediately noticed the large object in the house. He dropped his basket and ran over, touching it repeatedly, clearly fascinated by it.
"Yeah, on the way back I met someone who said that no one in the county recognized its value and no one was buying it. I saw that he was riding it and it was so convenient that he didn't have to walk anymore, so I bought it. He said this vehicle is called a balance scooter."
Now that she could openly take the car out and ride it, Yue Jiuyue felt the lie was worthwhile!
"Wow! Mom! I want to ride this balance bike!"
As he spoke, Lin Chaobei gripped the handlebars with both hands, and unconsciously straddled one leg, tentatively placing his buttocks on the seat.
Yue Jiuyue sighed, "Is it just men's natural love for cars? They can do it all by themselves without me having to teach them."
"Alright, there's nothing much to do at home. You three brothers can go ride around and have some fun. Just don't miss lunch."
Yue Jiuyue waved her hand, and the three brothers immediately went out to play in the street, yelling excitedly.
Oh, and we also need to add a little one. How can we go out to play without bringing our little girl along?
Turning back to Liu Shi, Yue Jiuyue said:
“We’ve bought enough cotton wadding to make one cotton-padded coat for each person in our family. We’ll make three 10-jin quilts and one 12-jin quilt. Make your quilt a little bigger. If you don’t have enough cotton wadding, just say so. We don’t lack the money to buy cotton wadding.”
"Yes, Mother!"
Liu was genuinely happy to be ordered around by her mother-in-law to do chores.
She had new clothes and a new quilt. This was the first time in her eighteen years of life that she had anything brand new. Even her dowry consisted of only two and a half new clothes, which her mother had dug out of her sister-in-law.
Think about it, when she got married, not only was she wronged, but her sister-in-law must have felt wronged too.
Liu carried the cotton wadding back into the room. The shelf at the foot of the bed, made of wooden planks, was piled high with things, including clothes for the three of them, coarse linen, fine linen, and a small mountain of cotton wadding.
Her mother-in-law entrusted all the family's belongings to her without any worries, not even that she would secretly help her own family. Her mother-in-law was so good to her! Better than her own mother!
She had forgotten what her mother-in-law used to be like, but she still remembered how she used to always trick her mother-in-law, and suddenly felt quite embarrassed.
Fortunately, her mother-in-law didn't hold it against her.
"Little Man's mother, is there anything I can help you with?"
Yue Jiuyue thought she had come up with a good excuse, which allowed her to portray herself as a good mother-in-law without interfering with her secret learning of tailoring.
“Mother, no need. Anyway, there won’t be much work to do at home in the future, I can take my time. Don’t worry, Mother, I promise to finish the clothes and quilts before it gets cold, and I’ll even sew the mattresses again.”
How could Liu bear to let her mother-in-law do any work? She had just felt guilty, and Yue Jiuyue's actions moved her even more. She would never let Yue Jiuyue interfere.
Yue Jiuyue: ...
It feels like I've shot myself in the foot.
However, she is thick-skinned and not afraid of being rejected.
"Alright, then I'll just watch you do it. It's not fun being alone in the house, and it's easy to get distracted. Watching you do needlework here will help pass the time."
Upon hearing Yue Jiuyue's words, Liu Shi's scalp immediately tightened.
No, in order to prevent her mother-in-law from recalling those painful memories, she had to spend more time chatting with her!
