Cao Maizi scolded her with a dark face: "Don't go running around and messing with random people in the future. Don't forget what you've been taught."
Wei Mingyue put down her chopsticks and said, "I'm not eating anymore."
Cao Maizi looked at the remaining corn porridge in her bowl and said, "It's good that you don't eat it; it'll save you from feeding Bianzui."
Back inside, Su Xueli took out 50 yuan from her bag and gave it to Wei Mingshen, saying, "I know Mom and Dad are out of money. Use this money to buy New Year's goods for Dad."
Wei Mingshen refused, saying, "Don't worry about that. We won't be short of money for the New Year."
Su Xueli pointed to the thatch on the ground and said, "Consider it payment for the old man's thatch. Don't refuse on his behalf. Go and deliver it quickly."
Wei Mingshen accepted it, smiled and said, "Alright then, but I won't say it that way. I'll say it's his daughter-in-law's filial piety."
Wei Mingshen took the money and left.
Just then, Cao Maizi came in. She smiled and suggested that Su Xueli make a pair of chubby dolls to put on the bed, and gave several very effective examples, leaving Su Xueli no choice but to agree.
She urged, "Girl, start weaving now. Let me see if it looks good. It should be a bit chubby, and preferably a boy and a girl, like a perfect couple."
Su Xueli promised her, "Mom, I understand. I haven't finished writing the Journey to the West storyline yet. I'll write the chubby baby storyline after I finish it."
Cao Maizi was anxious, so she said, "Can I help you? You can finish weaving the chubby baby quickly."
Su Xueli was both amused and exasperated. "Mom, you can't help me with this. You should focus on your own work. I promise I'll knit two chubby babies for you in a bit."
Cao Maizi was relieved and chuckled, saying, "I'm not knitting it for me, I'm knitting it for you two. Once it's finished, put it by your pillow and talk to it a few times before you go to sleep..."
She even taught Su Xueli the muttering words.
"Mother, it's cold. Why don't you go back inside and sit in bed? I'm going to close the door and do straw weaving with Xue Li." Wei Mingshen came over to urge his mother to leave.
Cao Maizi stood up with a grin. "Alright, alright, I'll go back to my room then. You two get back to your work. Xue Li, did you get that?"
Su Xueli nodded: "I remember it, Mother, not a single word is wrong."
"Haha, that's good, that's good." Cao Maizi left satisfied.
Wei Mingshen asked curiously, "What are you two whispering about, so mysteriously?"
Su Xueli was too embarrassed to say it aloud, "Why do you meddle so much in women's business?"
"Then I won't bother with it, so people won't say I'm being fussy." Wei Mingshen sat down on the stool and picked up the newly made figurine to look at it again.
He looked at the fruits of his labor over the past two days and thought, "Not bad at all. I'll have to exchange them for money tomorrow!"
Su Xueli stared at his pocket: some paper was sticking out.
Wei Mingshen immediately noticed, and he took it out and handed it to her, saying, "This is a letter she asked Mingyue to give me. Take a look."
Su Xueli turned her head away dismissively, "I'm not going to look."
Wei Mingshen said, "You are my wife. I have a responsibility to hand over any letters that other women send me. You have the right to read them."
Su Xueli shook her head, "I'm not interested."
Wei Mingshen pulled back and said, "Then you can't blame me."
Su Xueli jokingly said, feigning nonchalance, "I don't even need to read it to know what's written inside. It's just that she misses you, resents you, and loves you all at the same time."
Wei Mingshen glanced at her. "You're quite experienced. Have you ever written a letter like this to your lover?"
Su Xueli grabbed a Pigsy character and threw it at his face. He caught it, blinked, and asked, "How's that for your skills?"
