Chapter 9: Even my grandson can’t compare to me

Mrs. Wei was angry, and Yu Sanbao didn't dare to ask more questions. He left the table and went straight to his room with confusion.

Before I even entered the house, I heard my son crying, "I'm hungry, I want to eat!"

And the daughter-in-law scolded with some grievance: "What about eating? Your grandma won't even let us eat by then. Mother can't stand that shame."

Yu Sanbao pushed the door open hastily, frowning: "What do you mean?"

"Dad!" Ju Ge'er ran over and rushed into Yu Sanbao's arms.

Yu Sanbao picked up his son.

When Su Rouer saw Yu Sanbao, she turned her back and started to cry: "Your mother is in a terrible state today!"

Yu Sanbao frowned and said, "What are you talking about? Your mother and my mother! My mother is not your mother?"

Su Rouer was getting more and more sad: "You don't know what your mother did today! She talked about me in front of the nephews from the first and second wives and trampled on my face. That's not all, she even chased us into our house and took away the clothes I had half made for Ju Ge'er!"

Su Rouer felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and she covered her face and started crying.

Yu Sanbao frowned, then relaxed his brows.

That's it?

Ju Ge'er didn't understand what it meant to feel wronged or not among adults. He arched his body and asked Yu Sanbao to take him to dinner.

Yu Sanbao patted Ju Ge'er's little butt and said, "You go first. Dad and Mom will be there soon."

As soon as he put Ju Ge'er down, Ju Ge'er jumped out immediately.

Yu Sanbao then turned around and hugged Su Rouer, coaxing her, "Oh, I thought it was no big deal. Mother is the elder, and it's no big deal for her to say a few words to you. And the cloth, isn't it just a piece of cloth? If mother wants it, just take it. I'll take you to the county town to buy you a better-looking one later."

Yu Sanbao was handsome and good at coaxing people. It was for this reason that Su Rouer, a girl from the county town, married to the countryside. The couple had a good relationship to begin with, and Yu Sanbao's coaxing and comforting finally made Su Rouer burst into laughter.

Yu Sanbao took the opportunity to say, "Go to the house and see mother later and apologize to her. Since you got married, when has she ever made things difficult for you? You shouldn't have turned your back on me for such a small matter."

Su Rouer pouted. Although she was somewhat reluctant, she knew that her man was very filial to his mother, so she agreed.

However, Su Rouer couldn't help but grumble, "I don't know what kind of curse that little girl named Xingxing has put on me. She has bewitched me to such a degree... I think she can't even compare to my grandson Ju Ge'er."

Yu Sanbao couldn't help but say, "I heard from my father that Xingxing is a very pitiful little girl. Since your parents have adopted her, you should treat her the same as Huai'er and Bai'er from now on."

Su Rouer curled her lips, not very happy, but after looking at the man's face, she finally said nothing.

The young couple went to the main room to eat. Everyone else was already eating, and Brother Ju was sitting there, shoveling food into his mouth frantically.

There were also two bowls of rice on the table, which seemed to be left for Yu Sanbao and Su Rouer.

Yu Sanbao was deeply moved. He realized that although his mother complained, she was actually afraid that they would be hungry.

"Mom, I've already told Rou'er." Yu Sanbao said quickly, "She was just being naughty. She won't do it again next time."

As he spoke, Yu Sanbao tugged at Su Rouer's sleeve from behind.

Su Rouer then lowered her head and said reluctantly, "Mom, I was wrong. I won't do it again in the future."

Mrs. Wei asked, "What else?"

Su Rouer almost couldn't help it.

What do you mean by "still more"?

Yu Sanbao was also confused and looked at Mrs. Wei in confusion.

Mrs. Wei was obviously very unhappy: "Ju Ge'er was in the wrong first, and he took his anger out on Xing Xing, pushing her down and almost injuring her head. How do you settle this account?"

Ju Ge'er suddenly raised his head and looked at Grandma Wei in disbelief: "Grandma!"

Mrs. Wei had a stern face.

Ju Ge'er felt extremely wronged and said angrily, "I won't!"

Yu Sanbao frowned, raised his palm, and shouted coldly: "Ju Ge'er! How can you talk to your grandma like that?!"

Ju Ge'er was frightened by his father's rare ferocious look. His face turned pale and he dared not speak.

"Apologize to grandma and Xingxing!" Yu Sanbao shouted again.

Seeing her son's face turn pale with fear, Su Rouer felt heartbroken, but she couldn't ruin her man's reputation in front of so many people. She could only clench her hands and look at Ju Ge'er with tears in her eyes.

Although Old Man Yu felt a little reluctant and wanted to say something, he still said nothing.

Mrs. Wei looked at Ju Ge'er with a stern face.

Ju Ge'er sobbed and said to Grandma Wei in a wronged tone, "Grandma, I won't do it anymore."

He turned his head reluctantly and said to the confused Xing Xing reluctantly, "...I shouldn't have pushed you. I'm sorry."

The stunned Xing Xing came to her senses and was a little scared. She waved her hands repeatedly as if her mouth was burned and said quickly: "Don't worry, don't worry. Xing Xing, Xing Xing, it's okay!"

Xingxing even felt a little embarrassed. If Mrs. Wei hadn't held her down, she would have wanted to run back to the inner room and hide.

Ju Ge'er finally couldn't help it and threw himself into Su Rou'er's arms and sobbed.

But Su Rouer was heartbroken!

Yu Sanbao ignored Ju Ge'er and said to Wei Pozi, "Mom, if Ju Ge'er does something naughty again, just tell me and I'll beat him up!"

Mrs. Wei was not a harsh person. Moreover, her third son had worked in the fields all day, and she was reluctant to let him continue to be hungry, so she said "hmm" with a cold face and said "eat", and the matter was over.

After finishing the meal, Mrs. Wei called Bai Xiaofeng and said, "Second wife, come with me to the inner room. I need you to take care of something."

"Okay." Bai Xiaofeng looked at Li Chunhua and Su Rouer with a little pride, like a victorious general. "My mother and I will go to the inner room. I'll trouble my eldest sister-in-law and my third brother's wife to clean the table."

Bai Xiaofeng followed Mrs. Wei into the house attentively and proudly.

Li Chunhua cleaned up the table with a somewhat depressed look on her face.

Why is the second son's family looked up to by the mother-in-law?

Su Rouer had guessed something.

In this family, Bai Xiaofeng is the best at sewing. I guess the mother-in-law asked Bai Xiaofeng to use the cloth from her son Ju Ge'er to alter clothes for the little girl!

How can Su Rouer clean up the table?

She left with a pale face, saying "I don't feel well".

Li Chunhua was stunned, but she didn't want to cause a scene in the main house, so she gritted her teeth and cleaned up the mess herself.

In the inner room, Bai Xiaofeng saw Mrs. Wei take out a set of tailored clothes: "I cut it according to Xingxing's size. You are good at sewing. When you have nothing to do, make a set of clothes for Xingxing."

Bai Xiaofeng had sharp eyes and recognized the piece of cloth at a glance. It was a small piece of cloth that her mother-in-law had obtained from her parents' home. She gave it all to Su Rouer and asked her to make clothes for Ju Ge'er.

Now it's back in the hands of my mother-in-law again?

Although Bai Xiaofeng still felt a little jealous, she immediately felt happy when she thought of how well Su Rouer ate. She smiled and said, "Mom, no problem. I'll put aside the work I'm doing for the next two days and focus on making clothes for Xingxing first."

She took out the handkerchief from her bosom and showed it to Mrs. Wei, boasting, "Mother, I made a handkerchief for Xingxing. Do you think it's okay?"

Bai Xiaofeng's needlework has always been outstanding. When Mrs. Wei saw it, she saw that the small square handkerchief was made with great delicacy. The stitches were tight and fine, and there was a small yellow apricot embroidered at the bottom of the handkerchief, which was very beautiful.

Mrs. Wei praised her endlessly: "Not bad. Among my three daughters-in-law, you are the most thoughtful."

Bai Xiaofeng was so flattered by Mrs. Wei that she walked unsteadily. She took the needlework back to the house and started to make clothes for Xingxing with great enthusiasm.

She even boasted to Yu Erhu: "Mother just praised me, saying that I am the most thoughtful daughter-in-law!"

Bai Xiaofeng is very happy.

I have to talk to my eldest sister-in-law and the third wife about it tomorrow!

Don't reveal it inadvertently!
