Meanwhile, Yu Qianhe had already learned about the incident and its outcome from his coworkers, and both his parents were stunned by this bizarre turn of events.
Mr. Yu frowned, very worried about what would happen if his grandchildren encountered such neighbors in the future. "These three Wang brothers have been completely led astray. To put it bluntly, a leopard can't change its spots. Try to keep the children away from them. Not to mention that they are dangerous to begin with, they are likely to go astray if they are exposed to them too much."
Liu Yun and Yu Qian strongly agreed with this, after all, one is influenced by one's surroundings.
Mother Yu, however, didn't seem to care. After all, she had memories of her previous life. With her youngest son and daughter-in-law's personalities, if the current situation weren't so restrictive, they would have run away long ago. Why would they still be living there? In her previous life, as soon as the policies were relaxed, the two of them bought a house and moved out. They seemed to have a penchant for hoarding houses, accumulating quite a few. They received substantial compensation during the demolition compensation period, which was what Mother Yu knew. Given her daughter-in-law's cunning and manipulative nature, there was certainly much more she didn't know. Therefore, she was certain her grandchildren would never live with those three brothers. She had been raising them for the past few years, and their contact would decrease further once they started school. But it seemed those three brothers would cause even more trouble in the future! Thinking of the rumors that would circulate, Mother Yu couldn't help but laugh, but her wariness towards them only deepened.
After a week, the courtyard was completely free of odor, and Liu Yun's family of five moved back.
Back at the compound, Cheng Ke came to visit. "You're finally back! I really envy you. At least you have somewhere to go. These past few days have been exhausting for me."
This was indeed true. At this moment, Cheng Ke's rosy complexion had been replaced by a sickly yellow, with dark circles under her eyes and an exhaustion that she could not hide. It was clear that she had been tormented for a week.
"Haha, this week has been lively, hasn't it?" Liu Yun said with a smug look on her face.
"It's more than just lively! The first two days there were opera performances every day, and the last few days we could hear those three cursing every day. We'd better keep a close eye on the kids from now on; those three are no good."
"Okay." She knew Cheng meant well.
"Here, take this. It's a scented diffuser I made myself. Your house hasn't been aired out for the past few days, so light it tonight!"
This was made from herbs and wildflowers that Cheng Ke picked in the suburbs. On the first day, Cheng Ke couldn't stand it anymore, so she went to the suburbs to pick some wildflowers and put them at home to get rid of the smell. After that, she went to pick wildflowers and herbs every day to dry and make incense, so that it would be easier to preserve them. This is the second time, and she doesn't know if there will be a third time. It's better to have some on hand, just in case.
"Thanks." Liu Yun really liked this. She didn't know how to make it, but she liked it. You know, anything produced by the female lead is bound to be a masterpiece.
After chatting for a while, Cheng Ke went back, and Liu Yun also started packing. The reason they came back so early was that Yu Qian was going to Shanghai on a business trip in a couple of days, and they needed to come back to pack their things.
Otherwise, Liu Yun would really be reluctant to come back. Every day when she came home, there would be cooked meals. She only needed to buy some vegetables. You know, the last thing she lacked was vegetables. At the Yu family, there were people to take care of the children and cook for her. Except for taking care of the children at night, she could be said to have everything done for her. At night, Yu Qianhe took care of the children most of the time. In this era, it could be said to be a life of paradise.
Two days later, Yu Qian packed up his wife and children and sent them back to his home before going on a business trip, which would last for more than a month.
For Liu Yun, this meant the start of her blissful life again. She would work during the day and play and tidy up her space at night. After work, she would take the things she had tidied up the night before back home.
Now, almost all the land in Liu Yun's space has been utilized. Like many gardeners, there's a peculiar tendency to grow everything: what was originally intended as a small planting becomes an undesirable trait – once planted, everyone wants to grow more of everything, and there's never enough of any one type. This has led to even this large space feeling somewhat insufficient.
A year ago, Liu Yun managed to get a few lambs, which provided a huge outlet for the vegetables in her space. Otherwise, she would have felt heartbroken every time she saw the vegetables that she couldn't finish eating or picking falling and rotting. Especially the fruit; it was like having a treasure but nowhere to use it, and she didn't dare to spend her wealth.
Every day, they try to bring back as much as possible, alternating between bringing back chickens, ducks, fish, and rabbits every other day. In the father's words, the family's standard of living has risen sharply since his daughter-in-law came back.
However, Liu Yun had been fed up with eating water spinach, loofah, pumpkin, eggplant, green beans, peppers, and zucchini all this time. Even in the 21st century, people in the south still dread the thought of these vegetables becoming stale in the summer. But the rest of the Yu family seemed to be having a much better time. Previously, they would buy and eat whatever was available, but this year there were so many varieties to choose from, and they had meat almost every day, plenty of oil and fat. They were very satisfied and didn't need to be picky. Not to mention, there was even fruit available.
Even the children in the family are very happy, and they often help take care of their younger siblings, creating a harmonious and joyful atmosphere in the home.
The ingredients Liu Yun brought back, combined with Yu's mother's cooking skills, created a result that was greater than the sum of its parts.
Originally, Mr. Yu wanted to talk to his youngest son when he came back so he wouldn't be so extravagant. However, when Mrs. Yu found out, she immediately dissuaded him. Mrs. Yu knew that her youngest daughter-in-law was capable. She had been short of money in her past life, but she would agree to things in person but do the same things behind his back, which was annoying. Now she was not going to be that annoying person. She would accept anything they gave her, since it would end up in her own mouth anyway.
Half a month later was Liu's mother's birthday. Yu Qianhe hadn't returned yet, so Liu Yun took leave and went back alone, without taking the child with her.
She took the shoes that Aunt Li from the courtyard had made for Liu's parents a while ago, caught a chicken and a duck from her spatial storage, carried a basket of eggs and a sack of vegetables, and also grabbed a bottle of wine and a fish given to her by Yu's mother before setting off. Of course, most of it was taken secretly; Yu's mother only knew that she had prepared two pairs of shoes and a basket of eggs, so she also gave her a bottle of wine and a fish.
When Liu Yun arrived, everyone else was there, but Xiao Zhihua was not; she had gone out to drive.
Liu's mother was very happy to see her youngest daughter return. "Why did you come back alone? Ai Dang, come and help your sister move some things."
"Here it is, sis. Just leave it there, I'll get it."
“Qianhe went to Shanghai on a business trip. It’s inconvenient for me to take care of the child alone, so my mother-in-law is taking care of him at home.”
"Alright, it's good that you two are alright. You silly girl, why did you bring so much stuff? You'll have to stay at your mother-in-law's house for a while! Your sister-in-law might have something to say about it. Take the stuff back with you." Liu's mother was so angry with her youngest daughter that she almost fell over. She had always thought her reliable daughter was so clueless about social etiquette.
"Alright, my mother-in-law doesn't know that much. She gave me that bottle of wine and that fish. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Hearing this, Liu's mother didn't say anything more, secretly pleased. She couldn't hide her smile, stopping to chat with everyone she met, boasting about her two daughters, much to the chagrin of the other residents. But what could they do? After all, the family was large and the children were filial!
No matter how much trouble the Liu family caused, in the eyes of outsiders, they were a large and prosperous family with filial children.
And Liu's mother was indeed happy, and she also realized that if she wanted to enjoy a good life, she still had to rely on her daughter. If she relied on her son, he would starve!
Every time my daughter comes home, some of them make clothes, some make shoes, and they buy her nutritional supplements and meat—they take care of everything for her. And my son? He just wants to skin you alive.
