Lu He shouted at the top of his lungs for several times into the house, but no one responded or came out, so he became a little angry.
Just as he was about to go into the house to look for Li Xiaoni, Shitou spoke.
"Grandpa, grandma is at home. Grandma is going to the dog's house."
"She's helping me cook and take care of the kids, why is she going to my house?"
Lu He was doing heavy work in the fields, and he hadn't seen Li Xiaoni that afternoon, so he knew nothing about Su Wan's return.
Shitou had just spoken the truth, causing his mother to cry and pick up her things to leave. Now he dared not say a word.
Lu and Wang didn't seem to expect any of them to answer, so they shouted to Shitou, "Shitou, go to Gou's house and find your grandma. It's almost dark, and she's just thinking about going home, so why are you wandering around here?"
Shitou ran out immediately, and just as she walked out the door, she saw her grandmother had already walked to the door of Old Su's house.
"Grandma, Grandpa is looking for you."
Li Xiaoni was in a particularly good mood at this time, picking her teeth while humming a little tune.
She was so satisfied with her daughter-in-law. She originally thought she knew nothing, but who knew she was such a good cook. Even if she called all the girls and daughters-in-law in the village, no one could compare to her daughter-in-law.
She has good looks and cooking skills, and she is also a well-educated high school student.
Li Xiaoni never expected Su Wan to be able to farm, as she was not capable of doing such rough and dirty work.
The child receives an allowance every month, so just let him be raised by his family. As long as he can cook and do housework, that's enough.
When she heard her grandson calling her and saying that the man was looking for her, she quickened her pace again.
As soon as she arrived at the door of her house, she immediately felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong.
Usually there are a few children chattering in the yard, which is very lively, but why is it so dead today?
When Li Xiaoni stepped into the yard, she found Lu He standing in the middle of the yard with his hands on his hips and a stern face.
Daughter-in-law Wang Xiao'e sat on the ground and cried silently. There were still traces of tears on Yaya and Dandan's little faces. They leaned on Wang Xiao'e's side, one on each side.
There was a heavy bag behind Wang Xiao'e, and Wang Xiaoni's heart suddenly tightened.
She looked at the man with a guilty conscience and asked, "Xiao'e, what's wrong?"
"I was just about to ask you, but when I came back from taking a shower I saw her carrying her bag and leaving, was it you who provoked her?"
"When did I offend her? I haven't even been home, and I've never fought with Xiao'e, so how could I have offended her?"
After Li Xiaoni finished speaking, she walked over to Wang Xiaoe, squatted down, picked up Choudan from the ground, and then asked Wang Xiaoe carefully.
"Xiao'e, tell me what's going on. Why are you leaving in such a rage for no reason?"
Wang Xiao'e wiped away her tears. She was extremely disappointed with her parents-in-law. Their youngest son was already married, but they were still hiding it from her. Did they just want her to continue to be a free babysitter in this family?
The two old guys always seemed to be very nice to her, but she never thought that they had been plotting against her behind her back.
The more Wang Xiao'e thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Now she didn't even want to talk to them.
She placed all her hopes on her brother-in-law.
The younger brother-in-law looks very similar to Lu Chengan. When she sees him, she feels like her man is back.
Lu Chengzhi is the uncle and nephew of the children. If she can marry Lu Chengzhi, she doesn't have to worry about the children being abused in the future.
Last time she gave Lu Cheng medicine, he was in so much pain but still didn't want to touch her. She already knew she had no chance.
But after persisting in her wish for two years, she finally gave up.
No matter how good she is, where can she find a man as good as her brother-in-law?
Divorce is still popular these days. Once you are married, no matter how suitable you are, you will live together for the rest of your life.
If she were introduced to someone, she would know that besides the men who married those dead wives, there were also the old bachelors who were too old and poor to marry old wives.
Last time she almost married an old man whose wife died. That old man was old and ugly, and she felt that she would have nightmares if she slept in the same bed with him at night.
No matter how I think about it, it's not as cost-effective as marrying Lu Chengxiao.
Seeing that Wang Xiao'e was silent and didn't say a word, Wang Xiaoni had to look at her grandson.
"Shitou, tell grandma, do you know why your mom is so angry?"
Shitou already felt guilty. His grandmother had specifically told him to tell his mother about his uncle's marriage, so he was careful to let her know.
He also knew that his grandmother would beat him if she knew.
Then he thought again, his grandmother seemed to have never beaten him before, so he mustered up the courage to tell the truth.
"Grandma, I'm sorry! I just let it slip that I told mom that your sister was marrying your uncle."
"You..." Li Xiaoni raised her hand and waved it in the air. In the end, she was reluctant to hit her grandson and slapped her own leg with a "slap".
Now that Su Wan is back, I can at least let her live in her parents' home forever. Even if this matter is kept secret, it will only be kept secret for a few days.
Li Xiaoni sighed and said to Shitou, "Shitou, take your brothers and sisters to play in the house for a while, and then talk to your mother."
Shitou pulled up Choudan's body and called Yaya to go into the house together.
After watching all the children go in, Li Xiaoni said to Wang Xiao'e: "Xiao'e, even if I and your father are against you, your father and I also knew about the child's marriage to Su Wan a month ago.
At that time, Su Wan had already joined the army, and they both got their certificates and wrote back to tell us.
Your father and I were kept in the dark by them. If they had written a letter, we would have known about it after a while. The reason they didn't tell you was because they were afraid that you would feel bad, right?"
Li Xiaoni stretched out her hand and pulled Wang Xiaoe's hand, "Since Cheng'an passed away, your father and I have treated you like a daughter, without any selfish motives. We also want you to be a pair with that kid, so that even if we die early, we don't have to worry about having a child.
But the kid refused to agree. We wrote him letter after letter to persuade him over the years. You know this too. However, the consequence of doing so was that he was unwilling to return home.
You said he was willing, what else can we do? We can always tie him up and make him your wife."
Li Xiaoni patted Wang Xiaoe on the back again and said, "Xiaoe, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. This woman's fate has been predetermined long ago. God made you this way, and no matter how much you try, it will be useless.
Since you're already married, just stop thinking about him. If you can meet the right person in the future, tell your dad the same thing: we will treat you as the daughter of our Lu family and marry you off in a decent manner.
But now, haven't you met the right one yet? Then just live in this house peacefully, don't think about anything else, just take good care of the two children, do the housework you want, and wait for mom to come back to do it. Don't worry, your mother and your father will never say a word to you."
Wang Xiao'e listened silently, but she still felt very comfortable in her heart.
After all, the idea only took her a day or two to come up with, and it has been more than two years now. If she hadn't stopped doing it, she would never have been able to do it.
Now that Lu Cheng is getting married, Su Wan will definitely move in with Lu's family soon. She thinks she will definitely get along with him when the time comes.
After all, she was the one who snatched away her brother-in-law, the person she had been longing for for two years. It was good enough for her to hate her, so how could she get along with her?
Ever since Lu Cheng'an left, her parents-in-law wanted her to stay and take care of the children, and they spoke to her very carefully.
Other daughters-in-law work like slaves at home and still have to be scolded by their mothers-in-law, but she, on the other hand, is coaxed by her parents-in-law.
If there is suddenly a mistress in the house in the future, or a young lady who has just returned from the city and has been exposed to the sun, there will definitely be friction if the two of them live under the same roof and see each other every time.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she couldn't leave this home for a moment.
