But on this day, Mrs. Wang knocked on her door and handed her a small jar of spicy dried fish.
Shen Qingqing didn't know how she cooked it, but this spicy dried fish not only had no fishy smell, but was instead fresh, spicy and chewy, and very satisfying to eat.
Shen Qingqing happily took the dried fish, thanked Wang Saozi, welcomed her in, and served her tea and mung bean cakes.
Mrs. Wang didn't bother to be polite with her. She looked at her pregnant belly with eyes full of envy.
"Oh, you said it would be nice if I had a child, but unfortunately, Lao Wang and I have been married for three or four years, and there is no movement in my belly."
Shen Qingqing didn't know how to comfort her, so she grabbed a handful of candy from the drawer and stuffed it into her hand. "If you ask me, sister-in-law, don't be anxious. You are still young, and there will be many opportunities in the future."
"Alas, I'm not young anymore. I'm almost 30. Qingqing, tell me why I can't get pregnant." Mrs. Wang said with tears in her eyes and a sob.
Shen Qingqing frowned, "Did your mother-in-law say something unpleasant again? Sister-in-law, don't take it to heart and don't bother with her. Just find a time to send her back to her hometown."
Shen Qingqing claimed that she didn't have a bad temper, but she didn't have any good feelings towards difficult people like Mrs. Wang and her mother-in-law.
Before she came, Sister Wang and Brother Wang lived a prosperous life, and Sister Wang kept the house in order.
But ever since she came, there have been quarrels every other day and there has been no peace in the house.
She had heard from Mrs. Wang before that her son, Mr. Wang, was the third child in the family and had two older brothers.
Logically speaking, it is not their turn to take care of the elderly, but every year Brother Wang sends a lot of money and things home to honor the elderly.
But who knows who persuaded this old woman to follow them to the island. She said that her son had become a high-ranking official and she had to come here to enjoy the good life.
Let her come, after all, she is Brother Wang's mother, and we should respect her. But the bad thing is that this old woman is so good at finding trouble.
Shen Qingqing looked at Mrs. Wang worriedly, fearing that she would be tortured by this old woman every day and would not be able to bear it and become a fool.
But unexpectedly, after hearing this, Mrs. Wang not only did not look sad, but instead showed a happy smile.
"Hey, you mean her? She went back to her hometown. It was my husband Wang who sent her there personally."
When speaking, Mrs. Wang's tone became much lighter.
"Really? This is a good thing. How come I didn't know when it would happen?" Shen Qingqing was also curious. She heard from Mrs. Wang that the old woman was crying and shouting that she didn't want to go back to her hometown.
"Speaking of this, I have to thank you and your mother-in-law."
"My mother-in-law?" Shen Qingqing was puzzled.
"Yes, wasn't my mother-in-law kicked out of your house by Aunt Zhou that day? She was originally venting her anger on me, but then Aunt Zhou came."
"What happened next?" Shen Qingqing was very curious.
Mrs. Wang laughed happily, "If you ask me, Aunt Zhou is worthy of being a soldier. She coaxed my mother-in-law into a daze with just a few words. The next day, she shouted that she wanted to go out."
"Really? What did she say? This place is awesome?"
