"Grandma, Auntie! How can I, a new bride, make the decision on such matters?
Besides, this is the old man’s territory. What my mother-in-law and the others say doesn’t count, and I, as his granddaughter-in-law, have no say at all!
Otherwise, why don't you wait for the old man to come back and ask him yourself? If the old man agrees, and your cousin moves in, then you will have more confidence!"
Old Lady Ding and Meng Xin looked at each other, and both frowned! They were not stupid, and they were usually very cunning. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were cunning people!
In fact, the mother and daughter had already discussed it secretly on the way!
First, find a way to let Shuanzi and his wife move in. Then they will have more reasons to come in and out of the compound. In the long run, they can stay overnight when they have nothing to do, and find a reason to stay for ten days or half a month. After a long time, they will gradually move in!
By then, with all the connections that the old man of the Zhao family has, wouldn't the family members be able to benefit from it?
But they dared to mention the idea of letting their cousin live in with Meng Jiao, because they knew she was easy to manipulate! Who was the old man of the Zhao family? He was not someone they could fool around with!
Besides, a daughter who is married off is like water spilled!
A daughter who gives so much to her parents' family is still being gossiped about, not to mention that Meng Jiao is her grandson! Logically, they can't stand it!
But looking at this spacious and bright house, and thinking of all the advantages of living in this big courtyard, they just can't move in! That really makes them feel itchy!
"Why are you so stubborn, kid?" Old Mrs. Ding rolled her eyes. Unable to think of a better way, she simply turned her attention to Meng Jiao.
"You're carrying the Zhao family's eldest grandson in your belly! Can't you just act like a spoiled brat in front of the old man? How can he not comply with you? Even if you stay for a day or two, that's the best you can do as his cousin, right? Look at how you keep pushing it away. How can you expect your family to help you in the future?"
Old Mrs. Ding's words once again hit Meng Jiao's aorta!
She knew exactly how cunning her grandmother was! She knew she wouldn't be able to get rid of the old lady and her daughter today, but she couldn't handle the brunt of the situation herself, so she had to find someone else to take the blame.
"I am an outsider anyway. Even though I am pregnant with the Zhao family's great-grandson, my words are not as effective as those of Zhao Bing's living grandson!
Why don't you wait for him to come back and discuss it with him first? If he can help you in front of the old man, this matter will most likely be done!"
Meng Jiao passed the blame.
Old Mrs. Ding thought about it secretly and felt that it would be much easier to control Zhao Bing than to conquer Old Man Zhao. She nodded and said nothing more.
Seeing the old lady's expression, Meng Xin knew that she agreed with Meng Jiao's proposal, so she didn't ask any more questions.
Mother Meng looked at her silly daughter and sighed in her heart!
I've seen people passing the buck to others, but I've never seen anyone dragging their own men into the pot! I really don't know how her stupid daughter and son-in-law live their daily lives!
Because there were a lot of things, Zhao Bing went back to move them.
When he came back and saw the Meng family in the house, he was shocked.
"Hey, my good nephew-in-law is back?"
When Meng Xin saw Zhao Bing, her mouth immediately pulled back to the back of her ears!
With a flattering look on her face, she took the things from his hand, put them aside, and pulled him to sit on the sofa.
"Look at how sweaty he is! Our brother-in-law must be very tired! Come on, sit down and have a drink of water and rest your feet!"
As he spoke, he didn't forget to scold, "Look, kid, moving is such a big thing, why didn't you inform your family in advance?
It's the weekend, and your two cousins are just sitting around doing nothing, so why not come over and give you a hand? There's no need for a college student like you to do this kind of heavy work yourself! It's a waste of your talent, isn't it? "
Meng Xin praised and flattered Zhao Bing so much that he was completely bewildered! He even ignored the reason why they were there.
"I was in a hurry to move, so I didn't think too much about it! Next time if something happens, I'll definitely notify my two cousins to come and help!"
Although he didn't feel it, after being complimented by Meng Xin, Zhao Bing himself felt that it was a waste of his talent for a college student to do these porter jobs!
He couldn't help but feel a bit of goodwill towards his aunt-in-law who could see how hard he worked, and his tone was a bit respectful and polite.
"Hey! What's the next time?" Meng Xin said quickly.
"You just moved in, don't you have to clean up?
I just went in to check, and the wall paint in the room you're going to live in is peeling off! Your eldest cousin is good at painting these things! I'll call our family compound right now and have him come over and fix the wall for you right away!"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, before Zhao Bing could react, Meng Xin picked up the phone in the living room like a gust of wind and dialed the number of her family compound.
Zhao Bing: “…”
When did he say he wanted to repair the wall, and why did he have to repair it? Wasn't this aunt a little too enthusiastic?
Old Mrs. Ding looked at Meng Xin with satisfaction. She was worthy of being Ding Xiurong's biological daughter. Her reaction was no different from hers back then!
Sure enough, Meng Xin hung up the phone and started attacking again!
"Little soldier, you must be hungry after running around like this. I see it's almost noon. Do you want to eat anything? Let me tell you, when it comes to cooking skills, you and I are second to none. No one dares to rank first!"
I see there are some newly bought spare ribs and pork belly in the kitchen, so I'll make you braised pork and sweet and sour spare ribs for lunch today, okay?"
As soon as Meng Xin arrived, she noticed the ingredients in the kitchen! She hadn't seen meat for more than half a month, so she was craving this!
How could she let go of such a good opportunity?
What could Zhao Bing have an opinion on? After all, the things in the kitchen were not bought with his money.
Most importantly, he was really hungry after running back and forth for the whole morning!
Moreover, since the family owed foreign debts, Zhang Lan hasn't bought meat for home for a long time.
When he heard that there was meat to eat, he didn't care about anything else. He just felt the roundworms in his stomach started to clamor and his saliva couldn't stop flowing!
"Thank you for your hard work, aunt! We are looking forward to tasting your cooking!" Zhao Bing responded.
With Zhao Bing's words, Meng Xin has nothing to worry about!
But the food in the kitchen is a mess!
Soon, the strong aroma of meat wafted from the kitchen!
Mr. Zhao didn't play chess well today. He lost several games in a row and returned home in a rage.
Who could have imagined that there was such a big trouble waiting for him at home!
