Just after she finished cursing, she heard footsteps outside the door. Xiao Qifeng thought that the person who came back was Shu Guozhong. She raised her head with anger and joy, but when she saw that the people who entered the room were Ke and Shu Zhenmeng, she became deflated again.
Shu Zhenmeng didn't care about Xiao Qifeng's dejected look at all. Seeing a basket on the table, she asked, "Sister-in-law, have you prepared eggs for me?"
Xiao Qifeng pointed to the table.
"It's there, go get it yourself."
"Yes! Mom...I'll take the eggs away then."
"Go ahead."
Watching her daughter leave with a smile, Mrs. Ke glared at Xiao Qifeng unhappily.
"Look at yourself. You've been crying all day. It makes me upset. Go, go, go... Hurry up and go to the kitchen to cook. I don't know if your father and brother will be home. Just cook three servings of rice tonight."
"mother……"
Xiao Qifeng hesitated to speak, and Ke immediately asked, "Just say whatever you want to say. Why are you hesitating?"
"I...no, nothing, I'll go cook."
“…”
Looking at Xiao Qifeng's weak figure, Mrs. Ke couldn't help but complain again.
"I was wondering why I can't hold my grandson? It's because you act like you're dead all day long. It's so ugly. Not to mention that my son doesn't want to face you. Well, I'm tired of looking at you now. Sigh... I'm too lazy to look at you anymore. Go back to your room and sleep."
Although Xiao Qifeng had already walked into the kitchen, the cursing voice still reached her ears.
Thinking about how her man was becoming more and more distant from her, and how her mother-in-law and sister-in-law were bossing her around, Xiao Qifeng felt very aggrieved. Big tears flowed from her eyes, but she didn't dare to cry out loud. She was afraid that if Mrs. Ke heard her crying, she would scold her even more harshly. She could only endure it silently.
On the other side, Shu Zhenmeng, carrying a basket of eggs, came to the back mountain again. Similarly, there were still two servants standing guard at the gate in front of the yard at the bottom of the mountain.
Shu Zhenmeng had suffered a setback this morning, so this time she walked up to the guards and introduced herself with a chuckle, "Hello, brothers. I'm the younger sister of Shu Jiaying, the owner of this house. My name is Shu Zhenmeng. Zhenmeng has something I'd like to ask of Master Kang, so could you please pass on the message for me?"
As she spoke, Shu Zhenmeng handed over a basket full of eggs.
Ming and Wu glanced at each other, forgetting each other. Finally, Ming asked, "Didn't you come here with an old woman today? Why are you here again?"
"Brother, I don't want to run around, but my father and brother are locked up in Fengyun Town today and can't go back to the village. Everyone in our family is very anxious. I know that Master Kang and my sister know each other, so I took the liberty to come and beg Master Kang. I hope he can help my father and brother. The plague in Fengyun Town is now known to everyone. My father and brother are in danger the longer they stay there. They are the most important people to me, and I really don't want to see anything happen to them. So, can you two brothers help me? Really, I really want to see Master Kang."
Seeing Shu Zhenmeng's sincere words, A Ming and A Wu, who were in charge of guarding the gate, felt pity for her and wanted to agree to Shu Zhenmeng's request, but they saw Shu Jiaying walking towards them from a distance.
