Cui Yulu was sick for two days, and Liu Xiuying took care of her during those two days.
Han Yu'an stayed by her side every step of the way.
He seemed to truly understand what his grandmother meant when she said it was his wife's words. Although his movements were clumsy, he still took meticulous care of her.
However, Cui Yulu, who was in a deep sleep, felt that his movements were not gentle.
Sometimes they even splash water on themselves.
But she just couldn't wake up. The big carp's words kept repeating in her mind, and all sorts of knowledge that wasn't hers was being poured into her brain. So, the days she was in a coma were spent digesting this knowledge.
However, she has gotten to know most of the people who have been coming and going in the house these past few days.
The story revolves around Liu Meie, a sharp-tongued but kind-hearted woman; Cao Qiaoniu, a gentle and obedient sister-in-law; and Niu Niu, a lively and adorable niece.
As for that unreliable sister-in-law, she annoys me the most, but she seems to be someone who talks without thinking.
It seems this family is easy to get along with.
Although she was asleep, she could clearly perceive every movement in the outside world; perhaps this was a gift from the giant carp.
Her senses were noticeably sharper than before, and she seemed to have learned a lot of new things. At this point, she understood why her personality had changed so drastically on the day she got married.
It was this big carp that saw how pathetic he was and secretly helped him, which allowed him to finally vent his anger.
"Don't let your mind wander. This is a critical moment. If you do, you'll make mistakes."
It didn't know what kind of mistakes might occur, because it was also doing something like this for the first time.
Cui Yulu suppressed her curiosity and continued to sleep.
"Mother, do you think this girl might really not wake up?"
"Don't talk nonsense, it's just a fever. If he doesn't wake up today, I'll have Daping call a doctor tonight."
Upon hearing this, Liu Meie realized that calling a doctor would cost money, and where would she find the funds to treat her illness?
"This girl looks like a lucky person; she'll definitely wake up tonight."
Wow, things changed pretty quickly.
"My wife, you're awake."
Han Yu'an looked at her face and said with a grin.
"Yes, my Yu'an knows how to cherish his wife, that's so good."
"Mother, you should consider what I said before. Han Bao is getting on in years. Let's give it to Han Bao first, and we can talk about Yu An later."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Liu Xiuying sent a shoe flying at her.
"What are you thinking all day? Let me tell you that Yulu is Yu'an's wife, and you'll give up on any other ideas."
Seeing that his grandmother was angry, and hearing that the old lady was trying to take his wife away, Han Yu'an naturally protected Cui Yulu.
"It's mine, I won't give it to you."
Liu Meie was already used to Liu Xiuying's shoe sole attacks and easily dodged them.
"Alright, alright, if you don't want to give it to me, then don't. Anyway, she's just a half-dead girl, she'll never be able to give birth to a big, healthy boy."
"Are you still talking nonsense? Go and cook me some food right now."
Liu Xiuying picked up the other shoe and tried to fly over, but she ran too fast.
"Eat, eat, we're almost starving at home, and we still have to feed another person. I'm just going to work myself to death every day."
Cao Qiaoniu was playing with the children in the west room when she heard her mother-in-law coming out of the new house muttering that the things were useless. She knew that her mother-in-law must have been upset by her grandmother.
So she quickly picked up the child and came out: "Mom, you watch Niu Niu, I'll make lunch."
Liu Meie took Niu Niu and hugged him: "You and Hu Zi have been married for five years, right? Niu Niu is already three years old this year. Why is there still no sign of pregnancy in your belly?"
Cao Qiaoniu blushed, and almost dropped the gourd ladle in her hand.
Three years ago, when she gave birth to Niu Niu, she was young and had difficulty giving birth. She didn't know if she had injured her body at that time or what, but her belly remained empty for the next few years.
But this greatly worried Liu Meie, who longed for a large and prosperous family.
"Mother, this can't be rushed."
"I can't rush it, I can't rush it. Every time I ask you, you say you can't rush it. Then tell me, when can you rush me to give me a grandson to look at?"
Liu Meie's sharp tongue has started hurting people again.
Just then, Han Chunying returned from her friend's house and was caught red-handed by an angry Liu Meie.
"You're such a big girl, you're never home. I don't know what you're doing all day. You don't do any housework. You'll have a hard time when you get married."
Instead of confronting her directly, Han Chunying hid behind her sister-in-law.
"Has Mother been upset again?"
Cao Qiaoniu nodded and continued with her work.
"That jinxed third sister-in-law we bought hasn't woken up yet?"
No.
"Then it's probably hopeless. He won't make it through. Grandma just squanders money. Third brother is destined to be a lone wolf. She insisted on finding him a wife to fix things up, but he got better, but he lost his wife and is still all alone."
Han Chunying picked up a mixed flour steamed bun and started munching on it, her little mouth chattering away.
In Cao Qiaoniu's view, this was indeed something she inherited from her mother-in-law.
"We can't jump to conclusions so quickly. Maybe my third sister-in-law will be blessed and wake up tonight."
"You're kidding me. Only a kind-hearted sister-in-law like you would believe that. Third Brother is a jinx, and that girl he bought is a jinx. How could they possibly get along?"
"What nonsense are you spouting, you brat? I'll teach you a lesson if you keep talking nonsense."
Liu Xiuying, who had appeared out of nowhere, grabbed a fire poker and started hitting her on the buttocks.
That brat doesn't learn good things; she just picks up her mother's gossipy ways.
"Grandma, stop hitting me, Grandma. I'm telling the truth, and it's what people from Sangmenxing's village said. If you don't believe me, I can find them for you to ask."
Are you still coming here to cause trouble for your family?
Cao Qiaoniu was worried about her sister-in-law's intelligence.
These three younger siblings were bought by their grandmother, and no matter what they are like, they can't be returned now. Whether they are good or bad, they are all members of the Han family.
Now they're emphasizing that she's a jinx, isn't that a slap in the face to Grandma? How can you not understand this?
"Grandma, you're being too biased. I'm your granddaughter, would I lie to you? You've wasted those eight taels of silver."
Liu Xiuying was furious when she heard this. She chased after her in the yard with a fire poker, forgetting all about being tired for a moment.
In the end, Han Chunying raised her hands in surrender.
"Grandma, how come you have so much stamina? I give up, hit me, but be gentle, or it will hurt."
Liu Xiuying almost laughed out of anger.
This brat needs to hit you hard to teach you a lesson.
"You're not allowed to call your third brother a jinx or your third sister-in-law a jinx anymore, understand?"
"But neither of them has biological parents, do they?"
Cao Qiaoniu really wanted to hand her grandmother another fire poker; one wasn't enough, two would be just right.
"You're just trying to drive me crazy."
As she spoke, Liu Xiuying slapped her buttocks three times hard.
"I don't want to hear those words in this house anymore, understand?"
At this moment, the father and his two sons, who had gone out hunting, returned and saw Han Chunying being beaten.
But no one stepped forward to stop them; they knew that the person Grandma wanted to hit must have done something wrong.
The key point is that this is not the first time Han Chunying has been beaten, just as it is not the first time Liu Meie has been hit with a shoe sole.
