It turned out that Cao Maizi had run into her niece's family while she was away.
With so many people at home, it wasn't convenient for her to talk to her niece, so she pulled her niece aside to a quiet place and asked her about the doctor in their village.
Of course, she didn't tell her niece that it was her son; she said it was one of Wei Mingshen's cousins who was sick.
Cao Maizi's niece was very enthusiastic when she heard this, saying that the doctor was in good health and his medical skills were becoming more and more advanced. Now people from all over the country come to him for treatment. There is no place to hang the banners that his patients have given him, so he has set aside a room specifically to store them.
Cao Maizi was delighted to hear this and quietly asked her niece, "Ni'er, does he treat men's genital diseases? Have you heard of him?"
The niece clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Auntie, I heard that doctor has done special research on that kind of disease. People who can't get treatment in big cities come to him and he cures them all!"
After saying that, I asked her, "Auntie, does my cousin Mingshen have this kind of illness?"
Cao Maizi gave a wry smile and said, "That's right, that's why I asked you quietly, and told you not to tell anyone about this."
The niece said, "Don't worry, Auntie, you can't just say things like that. By the way, Auntie, when is my brother Mingshen's cousin going? I'll take him to that doctor's house."
Cao Maizi quickly declined, "No, no, no, Ni'er, he's embarrassed to see people. That doctor is very famous; he'll know about your village as soon as he asks around. You don't need to lead him."
The niece said, "Okay, Auntie, just tell him our village name and the doctor's name."
"Okay, okay, got it. Let's go home, Ni."
Cao Maizi felt a renewed sense of hope and happily chatted with her niece as she walked home.
Cao Maizi wanted Su Xueli to share in the "joyful atmosphere" in the postpartum room, so she took her hand and stood by her nephew's wife's bedside to look at the baby and say caring words to the new mother.
Su Xueli had no choice but to awkwardly engage in conversation.
Unbeknownst to her, Zhang Lianhua had cornered Wei Mingshen at that moment. She looked at him with seductive eyes and interrogated him with a charming and alluring tone: "Tell me, why did you ignore me just now? What did I do to offend you?"
Wei Mingshen had no choice but to give her a perfunctory reply: "Second sister-in-law, you're overthinking it. I didn't ignore you; I was just greeting my elder brother and other relatives."
"Come on, I've been watching you closely, you're just ignoring me on purpose."
"Fine, then I'm just ignoring you."
Zhang Lianhua pretended to cry and said, "I'll tell you, you're deliberately ignoring me. You have to tell me why you're ignoring me, or you're not leaving today."
Wei Mingshen said, "Because I was afraid my second brother would be jealous."
"Giggle giggle..." Zhang Lianhua covered her mouth, twisting her waist as she laughed heartily.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Wei Mingshen slipped away from her and ran into a group of men, while Zhang Lianhua stomped her feet in anger behind him.
My mother-in-law came over and said she had to take care of the guests, so she asked me to help look after my sister-in-law's eldest daughter.
Zhang Lianhua didn't want to take care of the child, so she said, "You take her with you, I'll go and look after the guests."
After saying that, he went to the room where the new mother was in labor. When he saw Su Xueli standing by the bedside talking to the new mother, he immediately vented all his anger on her.
He said sarcastically, "Oh, sister-in-law, why are you here and not leaving? Are you so eager to have a child that you see other people's kids? But I heard that you and Brother Mingshen didn't even know each other before you got married, so it shouldn't be this fast."
That was a very harsh remark.
Everyone in the room fell silent at the same time, turning their gazes to her.
