"Mother, are you feeling better?"
Madam Liu gently massaged Yue Jiuyue's waist and asked softly.
"Much better, much better, thank you!"
Yue Jiuyue's thanks flattered Liu Shi.
"Mother, this is what I should do!"
Although flattered, Madam Liu was still very happy about Yue Jiuyue's affirmation of her, and immediately stood up straight, saying:
"Then Mother, why don't you lie down a little longer? I'll go make lunch. Shall we have cornbread for lunch today?"
"Okay, you decide what we eat."
Upon hearing Yue Jiuyue's words, Madam Liu nodded repeatedly in delight.
"Mom, I'll go grind cornmeal now."
After saying that, Madam Liu went out.
Yue Jiuyue lay on the original owner's bed. The bedding had already been washed clean, and even the cotton wadding inside had been washed with wood ash, so she was able to lie down comfortably.
Upon hearing Liu Shi close the door and leave, Yue Jiuyue sat up abruptly, spread a bamboo mat on the ground, smoothed out the cloth, and placed the original owner's clothes on it. While recalling Liu Shi's actions, she drew lines.
Then cut it.
With a creak, the door opened.
Yue Jiuyue was so startled that her hand trembled, and she almost ruined the cloth.
She quickly packed everything away and went back to bed, still listening intently to the sounds coming from the courtyard.
—She went into the main room.
—She went to fetch water.
—She is kneading dough.
...
—Why is she behaving like a thief?
Yue Jiuyue lay flat on her back, looking at the ceiling in frustration. She didn't know why she had suddenly become like this. Couldn't she have just bolted the door properly? Why was she being so sneaky, even making clothes in her own room, and worried about being discovered? Had she lost her mind?
When Lin Chaodong and his group returned from selling sweet potatoes and were having lunch, they suddenly noticed that the atmosphere between their mother and their wife/sister-in-law was quite strange! One was being overly enthusiastic towards the other, and although the other had a stiff face, she awkwardly accepted that enthusiasm.
They were only away from home for half a day, and suddenly everything changed at home?
How could Yue Jiuyue not have a stiff face!
She discovered that Liu was incredibly bold today!
Give them a little sunshine and they'll shine!
They think they're someone special just because you give them a friendly look!
It climbs right up to your face, using its nose as a springboard!
She was already annoyed after discovering her abnormality, and then Liu was so enthusiastic towards her, so she was... a little at a loss.
Her current status is that of Liu's mother-in-law, so she has to maintain a proper mother-in-law demeanor and absolutely cannot be overjoyed just because Liu is so good to her.
Sigh! It turns out that being a mother-in-law is so difficult!
Suddenly, even cornbread doesn't taste good anymore.
well!
Back in her room, Yue Jiuyue couldn't help but sigh again.
She felt that if Liu continued to treat her this well, she might not be able to hold back. After all, who doesn't like to be treated well by those around them? Especially for Yue Jiuyue, who came into this world with no relatives or friends, a girl was treating her so well. Although they were different in status and age, she was almost ready to classify Liu as a friend.
It's not uncommon for mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law to have a good relationship, like sisters. But this is ancient times, so wouldn't it be strange?
Most importantly, will their identity be exposed?
Although she really wanted a friend, when it came to her life, she would give up not only friends, but even a little money!
Sigh! Let's not think about those things anymore. When it comes to money, we can talk about friends later. She should focus on finishing the clothes first.
