“Li Mingrong… I’ll just pretend I never had him, and I don’t want to look for him, so I’m fine here. The villagers here aren’t that enthusiastic, but there aren’t too many problems either, and the village chief is sensible… everything is fine.”
The Li family has really had enough of this mess.
I'm so tired of this constant wandering and displacement over the past six months.
If there's no opportunity, there's no point in talking about it. Now that there's such a good opportunity, why not stay?
"But, but..."
Sister-in-law Chi held onto her mother's hand, tears streaming down her face.
At this moment, Sister-in-law Chi is no longer the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chi family, but rather the daughter of the Li family! She simply can't bear to be separated from her parents!
The two families had never lived together before. Although Sister-in-law Chi missed home, she was alright.
But after experiencing days together where they could see each other every day, Sister-in-law Chi couldn't bear to part with it.
"Silly girl, the capital is only a little over a day's journey from here. If you miss us, just come and visit."
Aunt Li was also reluctant to part with her daughter.
She was worried that her daughter's health had not yet fully recovered.
She was worried that since her daughter was the only daughter-in-law in the Chi family, her brother-in-law would cause a lot of trouble...
"mother."
Sister-in-law Chi hugged Aunt Li and began to sob.
Aunt Li was worried that Aunt Chi was upset, so she quickly put on a smiling face and said to her in-laws, "Oh dear, in-laws, look at my daughter, she's still acting like a little child. Please don't take offense."
"What kind of talk is that? Every child with a mother misses her."
Aunt Chi thoughtfully left with her own children, leaving the other family members some privacy.
As soon as the Chi family left, Aunt Li scolded Chi's sister-in-law: "You child, aren't you worried about what your mother-in-law will think!"
“My mother-in-law doesn’t make a fuss.”
Even if you don't have a lot of trouble, you should still think things through more before you do them.
Originally, Aunt Li wanted to say, "A mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are still a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law after all," but then she thought of her daughter-in-law beside her and didn't say it.
After seeing Liu Demiao off, the two families began to discuss their own matters.
The Chi family held a family meeting.
The meeting was chaired by... cough cough, Xiao Tangbao!
Tangbao is now eleven months old, and will be a year old in the blink of an eye.
Tangtang's cheeks were still chubby and plump, fair and cute, and exquisitely beautiful.
He speaks much more fluently now.
"This family meeting is about to begin!" Chi Tang announced loudly, standing on the kang (a heated brick bed) with his hands on his hips.
Everyone immediately clapped and applauded.
Brother Wu: "My sister's description is accurate."
My nephew, Xingxing, said, "Auntie is standing so well."
Little Lock: "My little aunt is so pretty."
Silang: "My little aunt is so fair-skinned."
Goro scratched his head. "You've all said all the things you wanted to say to your little aunt, so what did he say?"
After thinking for a while, Goro saw his aunt's protruding belly and immediately praised, "Aunt's belly is so round!"
"puff!"
"Hahaha!"
Chi Tang immediately shrank her stomach, and after maintaining a serious expression for only a second, she took off chasing after Wu Lang to beat him up!
"Ouch, stop hitting me!"
"Tangtang, you're not allowed to bully Wulang!"
Seeing the children making a ruckus, the adults also became happy.
Old Man Chi abandoned the role of "host" and decided to speak first: "I'm thinking that although the cost of living in the capital is high, there are also more opportunities. Erchuan wants to try again, so it would be a good opportunity to find a school in the capital, and the children are also..."
I don't know if Mr. Chi's state of mind has changed in the past six months.
He went from just wanting enough to eat and wear to wanting to earn more money, and even more so, he wished that someone in his family could become a scholar or an official!
"Also, it'll be easier to find An'an. Does anyone have any objections?"
Chi Erchuan had no objections, but asked, "Father, Mother, is there enough money for our whole family to live in the capital?"
"They say we're moving to the capital, but we don't have the means to actually live there. I asked Boss Liu before, and he said there are several towns outside the capital that are very close to it, only an hour or so on foot, or half an hour by carriage."
“Let’s go and take a look around. If we like a place, we’ll settle down there. We have some charcoal for sale at home, and Boss Liu gave us a thousand taels of silver. I’m thinking of buying a courtyard house and some more land. The remaining money should be enough to send our children to school.”
Aunt Chi said, "We won't just sit around doing nothing; we'll definitely find a way to make money."
Actually, besides the thousand taels of silver, I also have two hundred taels of silver in my hands.
The money all came from the plum blossom cake and candied fruit business.
"Then I have no objection, but when should we move?"
"Let's get this done as soon as possible. I want to finish the new house by Tangtang's birthday so we can have a first birthday party for her." Aunt Chi had her own ulterior motives.
I've been so grateful to my daughter for all this, so I absolutely have to throw her a proper first birthday party!
Without a daughter, would our family be where we are today?
No one in the family had any objections to this.
After choosing an auspicious day, the Chi family set off.
After saying goodbye to her parents, Sister-in-law Chi was in a very heavy mood. Even though Chi Dashan and the two children tried to coax her and cheer her up, she could hardly be happy.
I'm either drowsy or lack energy all day long.
Aunt Chi was understanding at first, but gradually she became somewhat resentful: "Does this eldest daughter-in-law think I'm not a good mother-in-law? Every day like this..."
It's normal to feel down for a while, but we're almost in the capital, and you're still looking so downcast. What's wrong with you?
Old Man Chi didn't say anything.
At this point, the old woman would just complain a little, knowing that she would still care about the eldest son's family later, so all he could do was listen quietly and not say anything.
At dusk, they stayed overnight in a small town.
The town was bustling, with many people at the night market in the evening.
Everyone went to the night market.
Chi Tang has started eating non-stop!
Thinking of his wife, Chi Dashan bought a bunch of lamb skewers and, before even sharing them with his son, rushed off to deliver them to her.
Aunt Chi looked down at her empty hands and felt a little uneasy.
"Mom, eat!"
"Why!"
Aunt Chi took the meat skewers from Xiao Wu, and the slight disappointment in her heart immediately disappeared.
She told herself to adjust her mindset!
Don't become the next Zhou!
"vomit!"
Sister-in-law Chi had only taken two bites when she ran out and found a wall to vomit.
Aunt Chi immediately objected: "Is there something wrong with these meat skewers? Dashan, where did you buy them? I'm going to find her!"
The eldest child was already in a low mood, and now he has vomited. How can his body take it?
Chi Dashan was also extremely anxious: "It's just..."
"Mom, is my sister-in-law pregnant?" Chi Tang asked in a cheerful voice, bouncing around in her fifth brother's arms at the same time. "Quick, sister-in-law, let me check your pulse!"
Feeling down, moody, loss of appetite, drowsy, and now vomiting...
She looks pregnant no matter how you look at it.
"Pregnant?"
Aunt Chi was dumbfounded.
