Her face darkened, she stood up and walked to the window, then pulled the curtains tightly shut with her hand.
Jiang Xun withdrew his gaze and returned to his home.
When he reached the door, he found that the lights were off. He turned and came to Zhao Xingmei's room. As soon as he entered the door, he saw her cheek was bruised and swollen: "Mom, what's wrong with your face?"
"You can only blame the second brother and his wife!" Jiang Jingshan squatted on the ground and smoked a cigarette, his words revealing dissatisfaction, "How much effort did your mother put into them? These two people don't know how to be grateful at all, and they actually hit your mother!"
Jiang Xun frowned and his face darkened: "What's going on? Dad, explain yourself clearly!"
"Forget it." Zhao Xingmei waved her hand. "This matter has passed. Don't mention it again. Otherwise, it will only make things worse!"
"I can't just let it go like this. Since mom won't say anything, I'll go find Jiang Rui."
Ye Li hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Don't go. Let's put this matter on hold for now. After a day or two, you can privately invite Jiang Rui to discuss this matter."
"Yes, brother. We had a fight today and it was finally settled with great difficulty. If there is another fight, no one will have peace tonight!" Jiang Xi echoed.
...
...
He was exhausted after today's fight and didn't have the energy to fight a second one.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Jiang Xun agreed, but seeing his mother's face injured so badly, he couldn't get over it. Indeed, he needed to find a time to teach Jiang Rui a lesson and let him understand how bad he was.
"Grandma... I'm hungry." Jiang Miao spent the whole day playing with children of the same age in the yard next door and returned home when it was getting dark.
Although she is young, she is very perceptive.
He could tell that the atmosphere at home was not good, so he didn't dare to interrupt. He just listened to everyone in the family finish talking about what happened, and then he spoke.
"Okay, grandma will cook for you." Zhao Xingmei held her waist and was about to stand up to cook.
Jiang Xun hurriedly stopped her: "Mom, lie down and rest for a while. I'll make dinner for today!"
"You...can you do it?" Zhao Xingmei asked.
"able."
"Thank you for your hard work."
"We are all family, why are you being so polite to me?"
Jiang Xun went to the kitchen and Ye Li followed him out.
Seeing Jiang Xun staring at the potatoes in the cupboard in a daze, she smiled, rolled up her sleeves and walked forward: "Let me do it! Aren't you tired after a day's work? Go and take a break."
"I'm not tired, really."
"You look exhausted! It's almost the end of the year, the factory must be rushing to finish the work, right? If you say you're not tired, you're lying!"
"It's okay. Li Li, you give the orders and I'll do it." Jiang Xun said.
"What? You're being polite to me? Aren't you and I family? Isn't what you do the same as what I do?"
"No." Jiang Xun said seriously, "According to the previous agreement, we have separated the family. After the separation, each of us will take care of our own family. You have been taking care of our parents' affairs during this period, which is already hard enough. We have all worked a day, who wouldn't be tired? I was the one who suggested cooking, so of course I have to do it, and I can't let you do it!"
This is the point that always touches Ye Li about Jiang Xun.
Although the two were married, Jiang Xun never thought it was natural for Ye Li to do housework and serve her parents-in-law.
This is a hundred times better than many men.
Even in her previous life, when her relationship with Jiang Xun was not good, Jiang Xun still did the same.
"I understand your intentions. Today's situation is special, so let me do it. Mom was seriously injured and lost a tooth. She must be feeling uncomfortable. Although we have separated and each of us lives our own life, we are still a family, so we should be a little more humane. I know you feel sorry for me and think it's not good for you to take this matter on and push it to me, but I really don't mind today."
Ye Li took out the potatoes without saying anything and prepared to wash the vegetables.
"The water is cold, let me wash it, and you do the rest!"
"good."
The couple were busy in the kitchen, and when their eyes met from time to time, they smiled at each other.
Ye Li really enjoyed the feeling of cooking with Jiang Xun. Although she was tired, she felt very happy in her heart.
"I'm afraid it's inconvenient for mom to eat tonight, so I'll steam a smooth steamed egg custard for her! Oh, don't forget Miaomiao. If she sees mom eating, she'll definitely be craving for it, so I have to steam one for her, too."
"You do as you see fit."
The two of them were busy in the kitchen for a while before they finally prepared dinner.
I cooked millet porridge, steamed two bowls of egg custard, and fried some shredded potatoes. The dinner was simple, just enough to fill my stomach.
Ye Li brought the egg custard to the table: "Two bowls of egg custard. Mom's teeth are not very good, so it is inconvenient for her to eat today. Let's just have some soft egg custard. Our Miaomiao is still growing, so she needs some egg custard too."
Zhao Xingmei was touched when she found that Ye Li had even thought of this.
I really didn't expect that the eldest son's wife was chosen in the most hasty, but I didn't expect that she would be the most sensible, considerate and filial one.
"You are so thoughtful, Lili. Thank you, mom."
"Mom, you don't have to be so polite."
Jiang Miao ate the delicious egg custard with his eyes curved with joy: "The egg custard is soft and delicious, and it also has sesame oil, which is very fragrant! I love it!"
"Eat it all if you like it, and I'll make it again tomorrow, okay?"
"Yeah." Jiang Miao nodded obediently.
The atmosphere during dinner was very harmonious. After dinner, Ye Li went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
After a while, Zhao Xingmei came in. She took out something wrapped in red cloth from her pocket and put it into Ye Li's hand: "My child, you have worked hard these days. I don't need this thing anymore, so I'm giving it to you!"
"What is this?"
"Don't look at it now. Wait until you get back and then open it and look at it! Only you and I know about this, and no one else can know about it." Zhao Xingmei said.
Ye Li really didn't know what was in here, but since Zhao Xingmei had told her not to look at it now, she didn't look at it and stuffed it directly into her pocket: "I know, Mom, I'll look at it when I get back!"
"That's right. You are busy, so go to rest early when you are done."
"good."
As soon as Zhao Xingmei left, Wang Sha came in. She had gone into the kitchen to find something to eat, and when she reached the door she just heard Zhao Xingmei's last words, "Don't let anyone else know."
She immediately thought of what Jiang Rui had told her: the old lady had a treasure hidden in her hand, and the treasure was quite valuable.
If this is a treasure, wouldn't it be too cheap for Ye Li if she gave it to her?
"Sister-in-law, what did mom give you? Take it out and let me see it!" Wang Sha leaned against the door frame, crossed her arms, and looked domineering.
Ye Li said without even looking up: "Wang Sha, are you ordering me? I'm sorry, my mother has told me not to look at this thing now, and I can only look at it by myself! If you want to look at it, go find me!"
