As soon as the voice fell, the three sisters-in-law came out together. Zhang and Li saw their own mother coming, and their faces immediately showed smiles. They asked with some surprise, "Mom, why are you here?"
"I came to give your mother-in-law my share of the profits. I've been busy the whole time, so I finally found time to deliver it today."
"Are my father and sister-in-law okay? Is the workshop busy?" Zhang asked.
"They're doing fine! Your father and his family really care about the workshop. There are workers working in the workshop. We just need to manage it well. It's not tiring."
"That's good. Mom, are you planning to stay for lunch?" Zhang asked.
"Yes, your mother and the others will stay here for lunch." Wang continued.
"Okay, I'll go to the kitchen now and prepare some dishes that mother will like for lunch." After saying this, Zhang pulled Li to the kitchen, and Lin also went to help.
"This girl is really something. She's so impetuous and hasn't changed at all." Chen said with a smile.
"It's a rare opportunity for you to come here, so they must want to show their filial piety. You should be happy." Wang said with a smile.
"I'm happy, of course I'm happy. I see that Chunmei, Wenxiu and Honglian not only look better, but their skin is also whiter than before, and they look much better. Even you, my elder sister, look much more energetic and younger." Zhao said.
"You all know what life was like for our Xu family when we had so many people. We didn't have enough food to eat and clothes to wear, so we must have looked listless. Now our lives are better, the food is better, and our bodies are naturally well-nourished. Of course, it's better than before." Wang said with a smile.
"That's right! Now we often buy meat. My Niu Niu and Hu Wa have gained weight!" said Zhang.
Three women were chatting about family matters in the main hall.
Around noon, the old man returned with Qibao. Seeing that there was a guest at home, the old man said, "My mother-in-law is here today. Why didn't anyone tell me?"
"Hey! We are all family, so why should we be so polite? My elder sister wanted to ask the servants to notify my father-in-law, but we didn't let them because your family is very busy right now." Chen said with a smile.
"Hello, Grandma Chen, hello, Grandma Zhao." Qibao greeted them sweetly.
"Good, what a good boy. I haven't seen Qibao for a while now. He looks plumper, fair and clean. He is really handsome." Zhao said.
Qibao twitched the corners of his mouth, and Wang smiled and said, "A child! This is how he looks better. He keeps saying he wants to lose weight, but how can such a young child lose weight?"
"Qibao, what child needs to lose weight? You are not fat, just a little strong. Now is the time for you to grow. If you eat less, you won't grow!" said Chen.
"Grandma Chen, I'm not losing weight. I eat a lot at every meal. I was just joking. Only my fifth brother always says I'm fat." Qibao said.
"Xiaowu is such a jerk. I'll give him a good scolding next time. How can he talk about his own sister like that?" said Zhao.
After saying that, the kitchen lady Jin came to the front hall and said, "Madam, the food is ready. Can we serve it now?"
"Well, bring it!"
Zhang and Li helped to place the prepared food on the table. As they ate and chatted, Chen said, "I heard your family is planning to build a school in Xujia Village. Is that true?"
"Yes, the children in the village are now of school age. Knowing more words will be beneficial to their future. They can't just be peasants all their lives without any chance to make a name for themselves," said the old man.
"Your Xu family is truly righteous! Not only do you allow them to work and earn money, but you are also organizing the villagers to reform themselves and even using your own money to build a school. No wonder the villagers of Xujia Village are willing to listen to your family," said Zhao.
"This is nothing. We can't just watch everyone else eat coarse food while we have delicious food at home. We are all from the same clan, so it's only right that we help out a little." said the old man.
Chen said, "My dear, I have an unwelcome request."
"What are you talking about? Just say it. I won't refuse anything I can do. We're family, so why be so polite?"
"Well, it's like this. We heard Fugui say that Xujia Village was going to build a school, so I was wondering if we could send my Tiger Boy over there as well?" Zhao said.
"I thought it was something serious! Just send it to me!" said the old man.
"Okay, thank you very much, in-laws! Now I feel relieved!" Zhao and Li both nodded happily.
After the meal, the old man arranged for Uncle Xu to personally send the two mothers-in-law back home.
…
After Qibao returned to the room and entered the space, he saw Xiaoling lying on Xiong Da's belly with grapes in one hand. She looked so comfortable.
There was a large bowl of various fruits in front of Xiong Er. The juice from the fruits he ate was flowing out, and he had to lick his mouth with his tongue from time to time.
Qibao said, "Well done, Xiaoling! Didn't I give you the training of the Twelve Guards? You're actually slacking off!"
Xiao Ling said, "How could I be lazy? I can see their every move, and they all performed quite well. But that boy named Yue Lang is really good. He is like me, with perseverance."
Qibao rolled his eyes. When Xiong Er saw Qibao, he grinned, stood up immediately, took out a big watermelon from the basin, squeezed it open with his bare hands, grabbed a handful of flesh and handed it to Qibao.
Qibao's mouth twitched as he looked at the watermelon flesh that had been shattered into pieces in Xiong Er's hand. The red juice was dripping down his paw. He patted Xiong Er's big belly and said, "Eat it yourself! Have you washed your hands? Are you polite?"
Xiong Er only understood that his owner didn't want to eat the watermelon and let him eat it by himself, so he didn't hesitate and started to eat the watermelon flesh with his hands.
Xiao Ling glanced at Xiong Er calmly and said, "How shameless!"
