Aunt Jiang, you are amazing! Even your own granddaughter is so stingy!" Zhao Xingmei was not afraid of her and dared to say it to her face.
"How can this be called stingy? Isn't this how the older generation lived? Huang Xiuxiu will be able to breastfeed in a few days. If I buy a can of milk powder and don't use it after two days, wouldn't that be a waste?" Aunt Jiang was not convinced and argued with Zhao Xingmei.
"You are just stingy! What are you holding in your hand?"
Zhao Xingmei leaned over to take a look, and it was indeed rice soup!
"I don't want to bother with you. Huang Xiuxiu, you should drink some rice soup, so that you can produce milk."
"Mom, Ye Li and the others brought a basket of eggs. Can I have two eggs? Eggs are more nutritious than rice and can increase milk production faster." Huang Xiuxiu was exhausted after giving birth. How could she be full with just rice soup?
"I just made rice soup for you, and you asked for eggs. Go ahead and make trouble for me! It's up to you if you want to drink it or not!" When Aunt Jiang heard that Huang Xiuxiu wanted to eat eggs, she immediately slammed the pot in her hand onto the table, turned around and left.
"Aunt Jiang is going too far! After all, she just gave birth to a child, why is she only allowed to drink rice soup?" Ye Li couldn't stand it anymore. Although she and Huang Xiuxiu had many conflicts, she didn't feel happy when she saw Huang Xiuxiu's miserable appearance.
"That's right! This old woman will suffer sooner or later!" Zhao Xingmei also echoed.
...
...
“Wow…wow…wow”
The two little kids started crying again, and their voices were obviously hoarse.
"Oh, the child's voice is so sore from crying! He must be so hungry! It's such a sin! The child is innocent." Zhao Xingmei shook her head, but after all, this was Huang Xiuxiu's family business, so she couldn't say much.
"Huang Xiuxiu, wait for me. I'll get something for you." Ye Li said and was about to go back.
"What are you going to get? I'll help you." Seeing that Ye Li was having difficulty moving, Zhao Xingmei planned to get it for her.
"I still have a little milk powder left. Not much, just enough for two or three days. If you don't mind, let the children drink it." Ye Li really felt sorry for the two little ones who hadn't opened their eyes yet.
It’s been half a day since the baby was born, his eyes are swollen from crying, and his throat is hoarse and he can’t make a sound.
No matter what happened between her and Huang Xiuxiu, the children were always innocent and she wanted to help them.
"That's great! Thank you so much, Ye Li! You said I was such a bad person before, always trying to cause trouble for you..." Huang Xiuxiu didn't expect Ye Li to be willing to help her. In fact, since she married Niu Dazhi, she has never had any major conflicts with Ye Li.
Huang Xiuxiu and Ye Li had conflicts before because they wanted to be with Jiang Xun. After marrying Niu Dazhi, she no longer had any worries, so there were no conflicts of interest.
"It's been a long time since what happened before, don't mention it. I just feel sorry for the children."
Ye Li told Zhao Xingmei where the milk powder was kept, and Zhao Xingmei quickly took it back.
"That's great. I'll make some for them now." Huang Xiuxiu excitedly stood up and made a small bowl of milk powder for the two children, and fed them with a small spoon.
The little guy felt something near his mouth and immediately moved his mouth closer. The little mouth sucked the milk powder on the spoon, and Ye Li couldn't take his eyes away.
"Stop looking, your eyes are about to fall out!" Zhao Xingmei joked when she saw Ye Li's look.
"So cute!" Ye Li's motherly love overflowed again...
"You will give birth soon, and when you look at your child, you will love him/her even more! This may be a kind of nature." Huang Xiuxiu explained, she felt the same way.
"Well, it should be."
Suddenly Ye Li was looking forward to the birth of her child. She had imagined the child's cute appearance many times in her mind.
"Brother Guan, thank you so much for yesterday! If it weren't for you, our Xiuxiu wouldn't have made it to the hospital so quickly!"
Zhao Xingmei heard it and thought, isn't this Aunt Jiang's voice? But why does it sound so weird, as if her throat is pinched, it doesn't sound like her usual loud voice.
"I'll go take a look. It seems like Aunt Jiang is talking to your dad." Zhao Xingmei stood close to the door and secretly watched the two of them talking.
"It's getting late. Huang Xiuxiu, you feed the baby. My mother-in-law and I are going back."
"Don't! Ye Li. I have something else I want to ask you for help with..." Huang Xiuxiu was unable to say it.
"What is it?"
"Can you... say something to my mother-in-law to make her treat me better..." Huang Xiuxiu couldn't stand Aunt Jiang's cold words. Especially after giving birth, she couldn't help crying when she heard those words.
"I said I don't care, right?"
Ye Li didn't expect Huang Xiuxiu would ask her for this matter. After all, Aunt Jiang was also a figure. How could she listen to anything she said?
"Of course she is in charge! Didn't you see that my mother-in-law seems to be... " Huang Xiuxiu is a good hand at observing people's expressions, even though Ye Li's father has only been here for a day.
She could see that her mother-in-law had feelings for Ye Li's father. If Aunt Jiang wanted to get close to Ye Li's father, she would have to curry favor with Ye Li.
So Aunt Jiang must listen to whatever Ye Li says.
Huang Xiuxiu had already figured out everything here!
"No way!" Ye Li didn't expect Aunt Jiang to have her dad's eyes on her! How could this be possible?
Does Aunt Jiang still want to be her stepmother? Dream on!
"No, no, my dad can't possibly live in the same field with your mom and mother-in-law!" Ye Li refused outright.
"My mother-in-law is like a toad wanting to eat swan meat. I don't agree with it either. I just want her to be nicer to me. When I'm in a good mood, my milk supply will be sufficient, and my two children won't suffer." Huang Xiuxiu started crying again as she spoke.
"Don't cry, I'll try to talk to you. It's just for the sake of the child. As for whether your mother-in-law will listen or not, I can't do anything about it." Ye Li thought for a while and said.
"Okay! Okay! As long as you are willing to help me speak, I will be very grateful to you!" Huang Xiuxiu held Ye Li's hand gratefully and nodded continuously.
"Ye Li, I have something else to tell you. It's about Jiang Xun and Zhang Yulian."
Seeing that Ye Li was willing to help her, Huang Xiuxiu decided to tell Ye Li about her discovery from the past two days.
"About the two of them? What could possibly happen between them?" Ye Li frowned, thinking, is Huang Xiuxiu going to act up again?
"Listen to me, I think Zhang Yulian has that kind of thoughts about Jiang Xun!" Huang Xiuxiu said in a very affirmative tone.
"Impossible, they are cousins. How could that be! But Zhang Yulian is really good to her cousin. That doesn't mean there's something going on between them! Huang Xiuxiu, you can't just rely on your feelings. How can you talk nonsense about such things?" Ye Li didn't believe what Huang Xiuxiu said.
"Ye Li, I saw Zhang Yulian washing Jiang Xun's shirt with my own eyes that day."
"This is not normal. Zhang Yulian has lived in my house for such a long time. She feels embarrassed to eat and live for free, so she often helps us wash clothes. What's a big deal about this?" Ye Li interrupted before Huang Xiuxiu finished speaking.
"But she picked up Jiang Xun's shirt and sniffed it again and again! That expression was like a scared cat! How can this be normal? Who would be like this? I've never seen her sniff other people's shirts!" As soon as Huang Xiuxiu said this, Ye Li was stunned.
