The thought that she would never be husband and wife with Wei Mingshen again in this life, and that her child would never come again, filled her with a pang of sorrow.
The two little girls felt comfortable soaking their hands in the warm water, smiling as they stared at Su Xueli, who was giving them the warm water. Suddenly, Zhaodi looked at Su Xueli and said, "Auntie, you are so beautiful."
Little Pandi chimed in, "It's so beautiful!"
"Haha, you two little girls actually know what looks good." Wei Mingshen laughed from the side.
Su Xueli felt very happy to be praised by the two innocent children. She smiled at them and said, "The three of us are all good-looking."
"Hehehe..." The three of them burst into laughter.
Wei Mingshen smiled as he looked at them.
He suddenly cursed, "Brother Leopard is such a coward. If I had such a good son and wife, I would fight anyone who dared to bully me, regardless of their grandparents."
The leopard he was referring to was the father of the two little girls.
Su Xueli casually said, "You're so close to the leopard, why don't you say anything to him?"
Wei Mingshen scoffed, "What's the point of talking to a giant baby who's still nursing? Even his mother's farts smell sweet."
Leopard is a typical mama's boy who is blindly obedient to his parents. His mother favors him completely because her second child gave birth to a son, but he still obeys his parents' every command.
Su Xueli was furious: "A man like that doesn't deserve a wife and children. His wife should take the children and leave."
Wei Mingshen laughed at her for thinking too simply, "Where would she run off to with the children? Her family was poor, which is why they married her off here. She hasn't been back to her parents' home since she left. If you let her take two children back to her parents' home, wouldn't her family kick them out again?"
He was speaking the truth, and Su Xueli thought about it and agreed. Women don't have a home; after marriage, neither your parents' home nor your husband's home is your home.
Therefore, women in later generations worked hard to buy houses for themselves, so that they would have a home.
She could only sigh for Du Mei in her heart.
"Aunt Cao, have those two little girls come running over again?" Du Mei's voice came from outside.
The two little girls heard their mother's voice and called out in unison, "Mommy!"
Su Xueli quickly opened the door and said kindly to Du Mei in the yard, "Sister-in-law, the child is in my room, please come in too."
Du Mei panicked when she heard that the two children were in her room. She was a new bride who was very clean, and her two children were dirty. She wondered if the other woman would mind.
"Oh dear, what are these two little girls doing in your room, sister-in-law? Zhaodi, Pandi, come out quickly!"
Wei Mingshen quickly said, "It's alright, sister-in-law. My wife is soaking your two little girls' hands right now, and she'll apply some frostbite cream to them later."
Du Mei was flattered and overwhelmed. Her two children had been disliked by her whole family since birth, and she had never been loved.
She rushed into the house and saw the two children with rosy cheeks, their little hands soaking in warm water, laughing and playing. A warm feeling welled up in her heart, and she was at a loss for what to do.
"Sister-in-law, look at you, the child is causing you so much trouble, I really don't know what to say..."
Su Xueli laughed and said, "It's not a problem at all. It's just that the children's hands are so cold that they want to scratch when they get warm, so I soak them and apply some medicine."
Then he said kindly to the two little girls, "Okay, your hands are soaked. Dry them and ask your mother to apply the medicine."
She took out the frostbite cream and handed it to Du Mei, saying, "Sister-in-law, sit down and apply it to the child. It's warm inside with a fire burning."
Du Mei didn't accept the frostbite cream. She smiled sadly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, sister-in-law, but I won't waste your cream."
