Shen Fengxia's face was so smiling that it looked like a chrysanthemum. As soon as she entered the door, she kept praising Shen Zhengxu and Shen Chuning for their achievements.
However, Shen Qingfeng and Shen Qingsong were not at home at this time. Only Shen Zhengliang was chopping firewood in the yard. He Hui and Li Xiaolan, the two sisters-in-law, were warming themselves by the fire in the house and making clothes for the baby in He Hui's belly.
Shen Fengxia quickly changed the topic from praising Shen Zhengxu and Shen Chuning to caring about He Huiyuan's big belly.
He also kept saying that her belly was pointed and it was obvious that she would give birth to a son.
But when she faced Shen Zhengliang and Li Xiaolan, her eyes were not eyes and her nose was not a nose.
He even started to boss people around: "Second brother, what's wrong with you? Why don't you have any sense? The aunt is back, don't you go and boil some water for her?"
Li Xiaolan looked embarrassed after being drunk by Shen Fengxia.
In the past few months, Shen Fengxia has come almost once a month, and her relationship with her uncle and father has obviously improved a lot.
For a moment, she didn't know whether she should boil water for Li Xiaolan.
At this time, He Hui stood up with her big belly, holding her waist, and directly took Li Xiaolan's hand and said to Shen Fengxia: "Aunt, Xiaolan is not feeling well, I will go and boil some water for you."
When Shen Fengxia heard what He Hui said, she quickly pulled her back and said with a smile on her face, "Xiao Hui, please sit down. You are so heavy now, how can I dare to trouble you to boil water?"
After saying that, she glared at Li Xiaolan, "Inconvenient? What's inconvenient about that? Don't think that just because the eldest and Ningning have been admitted to university and the third is an officer, you can become a wealthy wife and don't have to do anything.
At that time, let alone having our period, even after giving birth, we still had to do laundry, cook and everything else the next day.
You've been married to the second brother for a year, and there's no sign of pregnancy. Yet you still have the nerve to act so arrogantly? Where do you get the nerve to do that? ”
Li Xiaolan's face turned blue and white after being scolded by Shen Fengxia, and He Hui's face also looked unhappy.
In their family, whether it was her or Li Xiaolan, if they were not feeling well, even their father and uncle would not let them work.
Now Shen Fengxia, an elder aunt who had already married off, came back to give them orders.
Although He Hui was indignant, she couldn't say anything at this time because Shen Fengxia was her elder.
Li Xiaolan was even more difficult to talk to.
Why did Shen Fengxia bully her and not He Hui?
Because the eldest brother has become successful now, Shen Fengxia wants to please him and his wife.
She didn't dislike Shen Zhengliang for being useless, but she was afraid that if she got into a fight with Shen Fengxia, Shen Fengxia would say something unpleasant, which would hurt Shen Zhengliang's self-esteem.
Besides, she and Shen Zhengliang were not a real couple, so she felt that she had no right to cause trouble for him.
He Hui looked at Li Xiaolan's aggrieved look and slightly red eyes, and tried to hold back, but in the end she couldn't help it, so she stood in front of Li Xiaolan and wanted to argue with Shen Fengxia.
But before she could say anything, Li Xiaolan grabbed her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, please stay with me for a while. I'll go boil some water for you."
After Li Xiaolan finished speaking, she walked out of the main room.
There was a stove burning in the main room, and the door was closed, so it was very warm.
There was a cold wind blowing outside, and the moisture was penetrating into her clothes. Li Xiaolan shivered with cold.
A feeling of grievance welled up in my heart, and my eyes unconsciously turned red.
She glanced at Shen Zhengliang who was still chopping wood in the yard, and before Shen Zhengliang saw her, she quickly walked into the kitchen.
When Shen Zhengliang looked up, he only saw Li Xiaolan's back as she entered the kitchen.
For some reason, he always felt that she was not in a very good mood.
Thinking of Shen Fengxia's usual style...
Shen Zhengliang frowned slightly, picked up a bundle of firewood and went into the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Li Xiaolan had already washed the pot and added water to it, and was now lighting the fire.
In winter, the matches were damp and difficult to light, so Li Xiaolan went close to the stove hole to blow out the fire.
She didn't know if it was because of the thick smoke or what, but after she blew a few times, she felt her eyes sore and tears rolled down.
She quickly raised her hand to wipe away her tears.
But for some reason, her tears seemed to burst out, and the more she wiped them, the more they fell.
As soon as Shen Zhengliang entered the kitchen, he saw Li Xiaolan desperately wiping away tears.
His heart suddenly tightened, and he stepped forward and asked directly: “Xiaolan, did Shen Fengxia bully you?”
Li Xiaolan quickly wiped away the tears that could not be wiped away, and said, "No, Brother Shen, don't think too much. Auntie is just thirsty, so let me boil some water for her."
Shen Zhengliang knew very well what kind of person Shen Fengxia was.
After Li Xiaolan said this, what else could he not understand?
He directly pulled Li Xiaolan up and said, "Xiaolan, get up. I'll boil some water for her."
“Second Brother Shen…”
Li Xiaolan subconsciously wanted to say something, but before she could say it, Shen Zhengliang had already sat in front of the stove and lit the water.
The fire in the stove burned as fiercely as the fire in Shen Zhengliang's chest.
The water boiled quickly.
Shen Zhengliang directly took an enamel bowl, filled it with boiling water, and entered the main room.
When he kicked the door of the main room open with a bang, Shen Fengxia, who was brainwashing He Hui inside and asking He Hui to persuade Shen Zhengxu to help his brothers and sisters more after he graduated from university and became successful, was shocked.
She turned around and saw that it was Shen Zhengliang and Li Xiaolan. Her face immediately became stern and her eyes were full of disgust.
However, He Hui breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Shen Zhengliang coming in.
Just now when Li Xiaolan went out to boil water, she wanted to follow her out, but Shen Fengxia kept pulling her and saying that she couldn't leave at all.
