Chapter 285 Who Stole the Coal Briquettes (Page 1/2)
Seeing Ling Fei was silent, Old Lady Ye stepped forward to comfort her, "It's okay, Fei Fei. When grandma is free, she will come to see you. Tell grandma what you want to eat, and grandma will ask someone to buy it for you."
Ling Fei could only nod and say yes. Old Madam Ye then reminded her, "Fei Fei, since you've moved in here, you should hang out with your neighbors more often. A close neighbor is worse than a distant relative.
Build good relationships with your neighbors; if you really need help, they might be able to help you.”
Zhao Hongmei also said, "Yes, Feifei, didn't you say that Liao Sijie and her family will be moving in soon? If she moves in, you'll have company."
Ling Fei then remembered that after they moved in, there would only be her and Huo Qingyan at home. If she and Huo Qingyan had a fight, there would be no one to mediate.
She finally started to panic. When she lived with her parents-in-law before, everything was taken care of by someone and she didn't have to get involved. She just had to wait for dinner.
Now that they have moved in, they don’t need to buy anything for the house for the time being, but they will have to do everything themselves later on.
For example, they had to queue up with their food supply books to buy food rations, and if the coal briquettes for burning every month were used up, they had to go and ask someone to deliver them.
Fetching water, buying groceries, cooking, washing clothes, if Huo Qingyan is not at home, she has to do everything by herself.
Ling Fei suddenly said, "I'll go find Liao Sijie later and ask her to bring me two buckets of water. I want to take a bath today."
"You should wait until Qingyan gets home from get off work before taking a shower. There'll be someone watching you so you don't fall. It's inconvenient for you with your big belly, and it's okay to take a shower only once a week in the middle of winter."
Ling Fei pouted and said, "Grandma, I only take a bath once every ten days or half a month, and my whole body is covered in dirt. Once I take off my clothes and go to bed, dandruff flies all over the sky like snowflakes.
If I don’t shower for two or three days, I feel sick all over.”
Old Mrs. Ye said worriedly, "If you only take a bath every two days, how can your sweaters and trousers stay dry? It's so cold, who will wash the clothes?"
Ling Fei said proudly, "After I became pregnant, Qingyan helped me wash most of the clothes. If my mother-in-law saw clothes soaking in the basin all night without anyone washing them, she would also help wash them."
Old Madam Ye shook her head. "Fei Fei, how can you be so lazy as to not even wash your clothes when you're a woman? Who will help you wash your clothes when Qing Yan leaves for his mission? Who will wash the children's clothes?"
You are married now, and your man treats you well, so you should also feel sorry for him. If you don’t, when he meets a woman who feels sorry for him, your relationship will come to an end.”
Ling Fei said a little aggrievedly: "Grandma, I don't usually skip washing clothes, I just took a break when I was pregnant."
Old Madam Ye advised earnestly, "Fei Fei, you can't just rely on your pregnancy to have everything handed to you and do nothing!
Look at your sister-in-law, she is well-educated, polite and knows how to behave. When she left, she still cared about her mother-in-law and asked if she wanted to help wash the dishes.
Ling Fei thought, wasn't it her mother-in-law who washed the dishes in the end? Her sister-in-law was in a hurry to go to work, and her offer to help her mother-in-law wash the dishes was just a casual remark.
To put it bluntly, she is a person who talks a lot but does nothing, yet people still praise her for being sensible.
"Grandma, you see, my sister-in-law was just talking, she didn't actually go to help! She must have known that mother-in-law wouldn't let her stay to help clean up, so she deliberately said nice things to please her mother-in-law." Ling Fei said unconvinced.
At this time, Mr. Ye, who had been silent, spoke up: "Fei Fei, you said that people who care about their mother-in-law are just sweet-mouthed, but you should be a little sweeter!
A kind word can warm you through the winter, but a harsh word can hurt you through the summer. If you were a little sweet-talker, your parents-in-law would definitely be reluctant to let you move in.
Feifei, the first thing you need to learn is how to behave in society. You need to learn to respect your elders, care for your loved ones, and get along well with your sisters-in-law."

After hearing this, Old Lady Ye and Zhao Hongmei nodded in agreement with what Old Man Ye said.
Although Ling Fei is their daughter, they naturally love her, but rationally, they also think that Ling Fei is a little ignorant.
Zhao Hongmei thought that if her daughter-in-law had the same personality as Ling Fei, she would definitely not like her so much.
However, the reason why she loves Ling Fei so much is because she raised Ling Fei since she was a child, and they have a deep affection. Even if she raises a dog, she will kiss it, let alone a person.
The three of them chatted with Ling Fei for about ten minutes, and Ling Fei started yawning one after another, obviously she was sleepy.
Zhao Hongmei saw Ling Fei's listless appearance and said to her parents, "Dad, Mom, Fei Fei might be sleepy. Let's go back first."
Mrs. Ye and Mr. Ye looked at each other, then stood up and prepared to leave. Before leaving, Mrs. Ye specifically reminded her, "Fei Fei, there are still so many dishes left from lunch today. You can just heat them up a little tonight and don't have to cook anymore."
"Okay grandma, I'll wait for Qingyan to come back and do it." Ling Fei nodded in response.
When Old Lady Ye heard this, she couldn't help but sigh, but she didn't say anything else. Then the three of them slowly went downstairs and looked back towards the second floor at the same time.
Zhao Hongmei's face was filled with worry as she whispered, "Mom, I'm a little worried that Feifei has been spoiled by us. She seems to only care about herself now and doesn't understand the ways of the world at all."
Old Madam Ye retracted her gaze and sighed, her tone tinged with self-blame. "Alas, this is all my fault! I used to only think about making her happy. As long as she liked it, I would try my best to satisfy her no matter what she asked for.
Unexpectedly, this made her become more and more arrogant and self-indulgent."
"Mom, it's not your fault. We also want to make amends on behalf of my sister-in-law, so we spoil her and pamper her. She is still young and doesn't understand things. Once she experiences some ups and downs, she will naturally mature."
Old Mrs. Ye nodded and said, "Well, if you have time, come and see her often. It's not far anyway."
"Mom, I understand."
As soon as her grandparents and aunt left, Ling Fei closed the door and went into the house to sleep, sleeping until five o'clock.
As soon as I got up, I washed an apple and ate it. But my teeth felt cold, so I threw the apple on the table halfway through.
I opened the door and went to the balcony, and found that the charcoal in the coal stove was out. It was the first day of moving into the house, and the fire was out. This was not a good sign.
What's even more outrageous is that there are a hundred coal briquettes placed on the balcony, and several are missing. Is someone here stealing the coal briquettes?
Who stole the coal briquettes from her house? How could he be so wicked?
Ling Fei angrily banged on the door next door, "Bang bang bang!"
"Liao Sijie, are you there?" Ling Fei shouted.
Liao Sijie opened the door and saw that it was Ling Fei. She quickly invited her in and said, "Cousin, come in and sit down."
Ling Fei walked in slowly, her big belly bulging. She asked Liao Sijie seriously, "Do you know who else is cooking on this floor?"
Liao Sijie looked at Ling Fei with some confusion, "Cousin, what's wrong?"
"Four or five coal briquettes we kept on the balcony were taken away. I suspect there's a thief on our floor."
"Oh, no, cousin, did someone take your coal briquettes? We are the only two families moving into this floor right now. The others will have to wait until we have time after the New Year to move in.
Cousin, you wouldn't suspect that I took it, would you? Lin Jing and I have been preparing things for our wedding these past two days and haven't moved the coal stove over yet."
Ling Fei looked around and found that there was indeed no coal stove in the house. Who stole the few coal briquettes in the corner?
