As soon as Wen Yiran left the house, Wu Xiuli's face immediately fell.
Wen Yulong didn't notice his wife's inappropriate behavior. He picked up his two largest bags and rushed upstairs in a few steps. Wen Yulong was a rough man. Wen Yiran usually had a high authority in the family. Whatever Wen Yiran ordered, Wen Yulong and his brothers would carry it out immediately without hesitation.
Besides, cleaning a room wasn't a big deal for Wen Yulong. Having trained in the military, he was no stranger to housework. It was just that Wu Xiuli had been taking care of all the household chores over the years, so Wen Yulong had become a bit unfamiliar with them.
"Look at our deputy commander, he doesn't care about anything." Wu Xiuli saw that Wen Yulong carried out Wen Yiran's orders without saying a word, and she couldn't help but feel jealous. When he was in N City, Wen Yulong was the boss at home and didn't do any work. This time when he returned to Qingshan City, he became like a superman, rushing to do things like cleaning the room.
Wu Xiuli didn't think about it. If she hadn't been so focused on showing off her "virtue" in front of Wen Yulong, how could she have developed Wen Yulong's "big boss" behavior at home? So, everything has a cause and an effect.
"Mom, Dad is worried that you are tired!" Wen Ziqiu's little mouth was as sweet as ever, as if coated with honey, and the words she said made Wu Xiuli feel a lot more comforted.
However, Wu Xiuli still had to complain to her two children: "How long will it take me to get these three quilts? Your grandma is nowhere to be found. I don't even know where she went."
Seeing Wen Yulong and the others had just returned, Wen Yiran thought about letting them pack up before telling them about Feng Xueying's hospitalization. Otherwise, a large group of people would be too busy to do anything else and have to go to the hospital to visit Feng Xueying. It would be fine on any other day, but today was New Year's Eve, and he couldn't possibly be packing up in the dead of night!
Wu Xiuli thought of her mother-in-law's friendly face every time she saw her, so she wanted to ask Feng Xueying for help. Wu Xiuli didn't know that Feng Xueying was so kind to her because she remembered her eldest son's previous marriage and felt a little sorry for Wen Yulong, so she treated Wen Yulong's second wife Wu Xiuli much better.
Mom still wanted to ask Grandma for help? She was taking it for granted, wasn't she? Wen Ziqiu disagreed with Wu Xiuli's idea.
Who doesn't know that Grandma Feng Xueying has always held a high position in the Wen family? Every time the family returns to Qingshan City, Grandma never seems to be very happy. If Grandma knew that Mom couldn't even sew a quilt properly, she would definitely scold her to death! Wen Ziqiu secretly complained in his heart.
However, Wen Ziqiu was not stupid enough to express her opinion of her grandmother. She knew her mother's shortcomings and was really not good at sewing quilts.
Wen Ziqiu glanced at Aunt Wang who was busy in the kitchen and offered Wu Xiuli an idea: "Mom, why don't you ask Aunt Wang to help sew the quilt? At most, you can help her cook later, right?"
Wu Xiuli's eyes lit up, and she hugged her daughter's cheek and gave her a kiss. Her expression immediately brightened up. Yeah! She cooked while Aunt Wang sewed the quilt. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone? Her daughter must be smart. Her little brain is really quick.
Wen Ziqiu was very proud and happy that he had solved a difficult problem for his mother.
Wen Ziyun shook his head, ignoring the two smiling mother and daughter, and went upstairs with the remaining bags. Wen Ziyun always remembered what his father said: Don't pin your hopes on others, it's better to rely on yourself than on others.
Seeing that the two men had already taken care of the various bags, both large and small, Wu Xiuli and her daughter were in no hurry to go upstairs. Wen Ziqiu was wandering around the living room, checking to see if her grandfather's family had added any new goodies she hadn't seen before.
Wu Xiuli ran to the kitchen to discuss with Aunt Wang.
"No, no, I have a lot of things to do!"
To Wu Xiuli's surprise, Aunt Wang rejected her "job exchange" proposal and shook her head like a rattle.
Aunt Wang wasn't stupid, so she wouldn't listen to Wu Xiuli's nonsense. She was going to be criticized for not finishing her work. Besides, Feng Xueying was lying in the hospital, and Wang Qiuyan, the second daughter-in-law of the Wen family, was taking care of her in the hospital and couldn't leave.
Aunt Wang had to prepare Feng Xueying and Wang Qiuyan's meals separately, as she would be delivering breakfast to the hospital shortly. Then came lunch and the New Year's Eve dinner, and Aunt Wang's schedule was already tight, leaving her no time to sew a quilt for Wu Xiuli.
Besides, although Wu Xiuli was "exchanging jobs", after Aunt Wang finished making the quilt, she still didn't know how Wu Xiuli was doing with her work in the kitchen.
"Auntie, you're new here, right? I'm the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wen family. Can't I ask you for a favor?" Wu Xiuli's face turned pale. She didn't expect that such a good suggestion of hers would be rejected by Aunt Wang. She didn't think of taking advantage of Aunt Wang! It was really just a matter of switching jobs. Besides, her cooking skills were not worse than Aunt Wang's!
"Sir, I'm really busy and can't switch places with you. Look, the secretary's wife is still in the hospital! If you're really kind, could you please help me deliver this breakfast to the hospital later?" Aunt Wang was also a little annoyed. As a top logistics worker in the Municipal Party Committee's Logistics Department, Aunt Wang was also a shrewd person. How could she not hear the threat in Wu Xiuli's words? So what if she was the secretary's eldest daughter-in-law? It wasn't like Wang Shufen was just slacking off.
After Aunt Liu was dismissed without cause by Feng Xueying, the Municipal Party Committee's logistics department shunned her. Compared to Aunt Liu, Wang Shufen felt she wasn't doing as well as she had. It was only during the Lunar New Year holiday, when Secretary-General Wen Yuxiang personally came to ask for help, that Aunt Wang gave up her year-end vacation and came to the Wen family to help.
So, Aunt Wang is not afraid of Wu Xiuli causing trouble at all. It would be best if Wu Xiuli fired her so that she can go home and spend the New Year reunion with her family.
"What? My mother-in-law is in the hospital?"
"What? My grandma is in the hospital?"
Two voices rang out in unison. Wu Xiuli and Wen Ziqiu were indeed mother and daughter. From Aunt Wang's words "Secretary's Wife" to guessing Feng Xueying, the two of them reacted in almost the same amount of time.
"The secretary's wife has been in the hospital for a few days and isn't doing well." Aunt Wang gave Wu Xiuli and her daughter a strange look, shook her head, and went back to her work. Aunt Wang had been in the logistics team for six or seven years. She also knew Feng Xueying, an intelligent and elegant woman who looked as young as her forties despite being in her fifties.
Yesterday, Aunt Wang went to the hospital to deliver food and almost didn’t recognize Feng Xueying lying on the hospital bed. Not only was she thin, but she also looked very old.
