Tsk tsk!
Su Nanxi thought Chen Liu was out of her mind, why was she taking her anger out on her?
Not wanting to deal with someone who's got a screw loose, she glanced at the old man not far away, guessing he was still waiting for her.
Well, as someone's aunt, I have to show some appreciation. A few strings of candied hawthorns aren't worth much.
She vaguely remembered that Mo Wenying had two or three daughters, so she decided to buy four strings of skewers; more was always better than less.
Just as Su Nanxi was about to go over to the old man, Chen Liushi thought she was leaving and, ignoring Mo Wenying's attempts to pull her away, directly stopped her.
"What's wrong with you? Seeing your nephew crying so hard, with so many candied hawthorns in his hands, you wouldn't even share one with him. How can you be so heartless? What kind of aunt do you act? You don't know how to love your nephew at all!"
Seeing Su Nanxi's cold face, and knowing she couldn't hold back her mother-in-law or pull her too hard, Mo Wenying felt helpless.
If communication is impossible, then simply stop communicating.
Su Nanxi walked straight away, went to the old man, held up four fingers, and then took the money.
The old man immediately understood, pulled out four sticks, smiled and handed them to Su Nanxi, then took the money.
It's hilarious! He sold over ten sticks at once. If more customers like this came, he could pack up and go home!
Su Nanxi took it, turned around and walked to Chen Baoxun.
Chen Baoxun immediately got up, wiped away his tears, and stopped crying, but he didn't dare to ask Su Nanxi for help. He looked to his mother for help.
Mo Wenying walked over, but didn't dare to take it directly. She just asked, "Mute girl, what is this...?"
Su Nanxi was too lazy to argue with them, so she simply shoved the candied hawthorn into her hand, then gave Chen Baoxun a sharp look, warning him not to keep it all to himself.
Mo Wenying glanced at the item in her hand and understood. "Xun-ge'er, quickly thank your aunt!"
Chen Baoxun looked a little timid and whispered thank you.
Su Nanxi held up one finger to Mo Wenying, who guessed, "Is it one finger for a child?"
Su Nanxi nodded and then left.
After Su Nanxi had walked away, Chen Liu muttered, "They still have so many left, why only one for each person? That's so stingy!"
Mo Wenying heard this but ignored it.
She knew that it must have been taken back for her eldest and second eldest brothers' children. This mute mother was quite thoughtful; she treated the children well.
Su Nanxi wandered around for a while longer when she suddenly spotted Chen Qiuxia. Her hairstyle seemed to have changed, but she recognized her at a glance. She was acting suspiciously, looking around as if afraid of being seen, before finally entering a door.
There's a problem!
Su Nanxi immediately followed quietly, wanting to see what this woman was up to.
Chen Qiuxia entered a courtyard where there was a table with a pulse pillow on it, and an old woman was sitting at the table.
Su Nanxi didn't go inside. The courtyard was too spacious, with nowhere to hide. She hid outside the wall and found a suitable spot where she could see what was happening inside, while the people inside would have a hard time spotting her.
Chen Qiuxia, with her hair styled like a married woman, calmly walked forward and sat down, then naturally placed her hands on the pulse pillow on the table.
The old woman didn't speak, but carefully examined Chen Qiuxia before asking, "Where do you feel unwell?"
Chen Qiuxia only replied, "I feel discomfort in my lower abdomen."
The old woman didn't say anything more. She took Chen Qiuxia's pulse and after a while, she stopped and said, "It's a pregnancy pulse. It's normal to feel unwell in the early stages. Don't overwork yourself when you get home, and take care of yourself."
Chen Qiuxia could no longer hide her panic. She twisted the hem of her clothes tightly, gritted her teeth, and her breathing became erratic.
The old woman in front of her was probably used to this and didn't react much, letting her pay the money and go home.
Chen Qiuxia walked out of the courtyard gate in a daze, and she didn't even know how she got back.
Su Nanxi sat on the oxcart waiting for people as if nothing had happened. When others asked her questions, she would just shake her head or nod. So those people found it boring and stopped asking.
When Chen Qiuxia arrived, they immediately pulled her aside to chat, but Chen Qiuxia was in a very bad mood and forced a smile. The others noticed this and asked her what was wrong.
Chen Qiuxia said it was too hot and she felt a little dizzy, but it was nothing serious.
It was indeed quite hot by then, with the sun high in the sky. Now that everyone was present, they drove the cattle back home.
The children waited expectantly, and when they saw Su Nanxi return, they cheered and ran over to her.
Mo Qinghe received a candied hawthorn, feeling sweet inside, and let his wife take a bite first.
Su Nanxi has already eaten and doesn't want to eat anymore. Let him eat it; he loves sweet and sour things so much.
Mo Yunmei was unhappy to see that there were more candied hawthorns, but none for herself. She really wanted to eat some, but she didn't dare to ask Su Nanxi for some. Asking would be fine, since they had all been distributed anyway.
She looked pitiful and hesitated for a while before daring to speak, "Third brother, you're not a child anymore, can you eat less? Leave some for me."
Mo Qinghe glanced at her indifferently, ignoring her. This was specially bought for him by his wife, and no one else could have it!
Mo Yunmei was unwilling to give up, so she went to find Old Lady Mo. Old Lady Mo said directly, "What's the use of you coming to me? It's more useful to go to the mute girl."
Zhao murmured from the side, "Tsk! Don't even think about it. The mute woman won't buy it for you. You're not a child anymore, you're a grown woman now. Besides, you still owe the mute woman money for the reclining chair!"
Mo Yunmei was unhappy. "I'm her sister-in-law, isn't it only right that she buys me a string of flowers? The matter of the recliner is over, why bring it up again? Do you really expect me to pay you back? How stingy! Other women's sisters-in-law give their sisters-in-law a lot of things, but she doesn't give anything and is still so calculating!"
Upon hearing this, the others immediately lost the desire to speak to her.
Old Mrs. Mo simply kicked her out; what a nuisance!
Before his afternoon nap, Mo Qinghe read for a while as usual. When he saw that his wife had bought him so much paper and ink, he felt a warmth in his heart. His wife really didn't care about spending money, and she wanted him to practice his calligraphy.
Su Nanxi told Mo Qinghe about Chen Qiuxia, and Mo Qinghe didn't react much. Wasn't that expected?
Mo Qinghe took his wife's hand. "Don't worry about her. She brought it on herself. Honey, you have to be careful. She might have some other schemes up her sleeve!"
Is it an attempt to drag others down, or a distraction?
"Anything is possible. Keep an eye on that idiot, don't let her get too close to the Chen family, or she'll be used up and left with nothing."
Su Nanxi had watched many palace dramas before, but she forgot them as soon as she watched them and didn't learn anything from them. However, watching more of them made her more shrewd and more likely to think things through.
She knew who the "fool" Mo Qinghe was talking about was, and she agreed with him. Mo Yunmei's brain capacity was really not enough! She might even be happily counting money for someone who had sold her out!
Mo Yunmei truly had no idea what she was about to face, and continued to live carefree.
She was stopped by Chen Qiuxia once again.
"It's my birthday tomorrow, will you come and keep me company?"
