"Let's go, the food is getting cold. Don't worry about her, let's go eat. What am I afraid of? As the saying goes, a righteous man is not afraid of his own shadow. As long as you trust me, I don't care what others think."
Boyi said this while holding Shumei's hand, and the two walked towards the dining table.
Yang Liu was also full and kept shouting outside the door. She continued to shout even after Shumei and Boyi finished their meal. But her voice became weaker and weaker. I don't know if she was tired or her voice was hoarse.
Shumei cleared the dishes and, seeing it was getting late, prepared to take Qianqian's meal and head back to the barber shop. But Yang Liu was still blocking the doorway! She couldn't leave, and she couldn't stay.
"Boyi, it's getting late, and Qianqian is still waiting for me to bring her food! What are you going to do with that person at the door? Hiding isn't a solution! She's not afraid of those wearing shoes even if she's barefoot. We have to open the door to do business, and we can't afford to have her messing around like that!"
Shumei put the food she brought for Qianqian on the table, sat in front of Boyi, and spoke to him in a negotiating tone.
To be honest, Boyi really had no idea what to do with Yang Liu. He had never seen a woman like her.
"What can I do? This is a hot potato. I don't know if I've been unlucky enough to run into someone so shameless. Let her make a fuss! There will always be a time when she'll have enough!"
Boyi had a helpless expression on his face and a stern face.
Shumei pondered this carefully. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation, and she couldn't think of any way to have the best of both worlds. Both of them were troubled by this irrelevant Yang Liu.
As the two chatted, there was no movement outside the house.
"Boyi, listen, there's no movement."
Boyi pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and indeed, it became quiet outside.
"There's really no movement. Could it be that he's gone? Let's go and take a look."
The two of them got up together to check, and looked out through the crack in the door, but did not see Yang Liu.
Boyi quietly opened the reserved single door, and the two of them searched outside the store like thieves, but could not find Yang Liu.
The two finally breathed a sigh of relief. Boyi said with a sense of relief, "I told you! She'll stop making trouble when she's had enough. Come on, I'll take you home!"
Shumei responded with a smile and went back into the house to get some food. The two of them closed the door and walked towards the barber shop together.
In the Wen Family Courtyard...
Wen Dazui's daughter-in-law is about to give birth, but Wen Dazui still has no intention of sending Xiao Youchen away. Her son and daughter-in-law are not happy about this.
Daughter-in-law Li Miaomiao was sitting on the bed with a big belly and a somewhat ugly expression. Her good husband Zhou Hengliang was soaking her feet.
Wen Dazui is a powerful figure, but her only son did not inherit her good genes. He is like her husband, a henpecked man with a good temper.
"Henliang, how long will your aunt's child be fostered here? I'm about to give birth. Who will take care of me during the confinement period? Who will take care of the child? I told you to tell your mother a long time ago, why don't you say anything? You are always like a silent gourd. Is it your Wen family's child in my belly, or is it your Wen family's child, Tang Youchen?"
Li Miaomiao had told Zhou Hengliang countless times to tell her mother to send Xiao Youchen away, but from the time she was pregnant to the time she was about to give birth, they hadn't taken any action. This time, she couldn't stand it anymore and decided to give Zhou Hengliang a final warning.
Zhou Hengliang was caught in the middle, feeling a bit awkward. On one side was his mother, a woman with a sharp tongue but a soft heart, desperate to help Boyi; on the other side was his soon-to-be child and his wife. He couldn't help either side. He'd told Wen Dazui more than once, but Wen Dazui always talked about how pitiful little Youchen was and how difficult Boyi's life was. He only got started and couldn't continue.
"Little Youchen lost his mother at birth. He's a pitiful child. After all, he's your aunt's child. He's grown up anyway, so it won't affect your mother's care for you and the child..."
Before Zhou Hengliang could finish his words, Li Miaomiao could no longer hold back and sat up suddenly, almost spraining her waist.
"I said... Ouch! Ouch!"
Li Miaomiao pressed her aching waist and cried out in pain.
Seeing this, Zhou Hengliang wiped his wet hands on his body, hurried forward to support her, and checked on Li Miaomiao with concern, "Don't get excited, watch out for your stomach, are you okay?"
Li Miaomiao pinched Zhou Hengliang's ear and said, "You only care about your son. I sprained my waist, why are you concerned about my stomach?"
"Wife, it hurts, it hurts, I know I was wrong. Wife comes first, son comes second."
Zhou Hengliang covered his ears and hurriedly pleaded with Li Miaomiao.
Seeing that Zhou Hengliang's attitude was pretty good, she finally let go of his hand and said, "Wipe your feet."
Having escaped from his wife's clutches, Zhou Hengliang quickly responded and bent over to wipe Li Miaomiao's feet, "Hey!"
After Zhou Hengliang finished wiping his feet, Li Miaomiao lay down on the bed and continued, "Look at Tang Boyi. His business is going smoothly and he even built a building. Look at our family. We still have these few brick houses. How can he be pitiful? Why hasn't he shown any appreciation for all the hard work my mother has put in over the years?"
While Li Miaomiao was talking, Zhou Heng had already washed his feet in a few seconds and went out with the foot washing water.
Li Miaomiao stopped chattering for a while when Zhou Hengliang left. She only continued her chatter when Zhou Hengliang returned to the room and squeezed into the same bed with her.
"Anyway, our family isn't a charity, and we can't accommodate any more people. Either he or I, or he or I won't. If he doesn't leave, I'll go back to my parents' home to give birth, and the child will have my last name, Li."
