"Hey, it's true what they say, whoever you say comes to life! What brings your sister-in-law Honghua to our house?" Cao Maizi asked in surprise.
Wei Mingshen also looked puzzled, but agreed verbally, "Hey, sister-in-law, come over here, it's in the kitchen."
Holding a piece of cloth and a large bag of pastries, Sun Honghua greeted the mother and son and said directly, "Brother Mingshen, could you take me to Xue Li's parents' home? I want to give these to her."
Cao and Wei Mingshen were completely dumbfounded.
Sun Honghua said excitedly, "Aunt Cao, you've heard about what happened to me, right? Today, your nephew came back from the city with me. He's going to take my mother and the rest of us back to live in the city. From now on, I won't have to work so hard farming, raising pigs and sheep, or taking care of my in-laws. I can just focus on taking care of the children and sending them to school when I go back to the city. I've finally made it through! But I have to thank Xue Li and her sister-in-law for all of this."
However, Ming Shen and his wife, Xue Li, have divorced, and she has gone back to her parents' home. I don't know where her parents' home is, so I had to ask Ming Shen to show me the way.
Wei Mingshen understood, but Su Xueli wasn't at her parents' home, so going there would be pointless, and she didn't want outsiders to know about this place in town.
So he said, "Sister-in-law, how about this, you leave the things here, and I'll take them to her tomorrow."
Sun Honghua said firmly, "No, I must hand it to her myself and thank her in person."
Seeing that she was determined to see Shirley, Wei Mingshen lied and said, "It's too late today, sister-in-law, that's impolite. How about this, I'll have my sister go and talk to her tomorrow, and see where you two can meet."
Sun Honghua replied, "That's fine too. After all, her family doesn't know me. If you divorce her, she won't even talk to anyone in our village anymore. It would be embarrassing if she showed up unexpectedly."
"Then I'll go home and wait for your news. You must tell Mingyue to go see her tomorrow. I'll see her once and then go back to the city with your brother."
Wei Mingshen said, "Alright, alright, sister-in-law, you should go back now."
Sun Honghua carried two bags of pastries, keeping one bag for Cao Shi to try, saying it was brought back from the provincial capital, and leaving the other bag for Xue Li to try.
After she left, Mrs. Cao said with satisfaction, "Everyone really likes Shirley!"
She then instructed Zhou Mingtao, "My good son, you must marry her back for me."
Wei Mingshen felt uncertain and said with a sigh, "Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"
For the first time, he felt powerless in front of a woman.
After eating the meatball soup his mother had made, he washed up and went to bed. For the first time, he couldn't sleep. As a grown man, he felt the night was endless...
The next day, he looked a little tired, but he still insisted on going over to make her breakfast, and also brought the radish balls that his mother had packed.
As soon as Yan Yan opened the courtyard gate and left, Wei Mingshen came over. He put the meatballs in the kitchen and started making breakfast.
Su Xueli also had insomnia last night, and woke up early this morning. When she heard the noise in the kitchen, she was delighted: this guy is cooking for me again as usual.
So she got up too.
"Good morning!" she greeted the people in the kitchen.
"Good morning!" Wei Mingshen replied.
While washing her face, she joked with him in a casual tone, "Why didn't you eat here last night? Was the black rice porridge Xiao Jiu made not good?"
Wei Mingshen shook his head and smiled, not responding to her words.
Su Xueli deliberately provoked him: "We had a great meal last night. The dishes at that noodle shop were quite delicious, and the noodles were especially fragrant."
"Then let's go again tonight," he said through gritted teeth.
But his tone sounded rather nonchalant.
Su Xueli didn't detect any jealousy in his words, and felt a pang of disappointment. She could only give up.
"Oh, right," Wei Mingshen called out to her.
“Last night, Sister Honghua came to our house and said she wanted to thank you in person. She wouldn’t let us refuse. Tell me, where should we meet her?”
"Sister-in-law Honghua, Sun Honghua?" Su Xueli was somewhat surprised.
