The sunset was magnificent, and the temperature dropped.
The whole family was finally able to get together, so they all brought out mats and small stools and sat on a flat brick floor in the courtyard to chat.
*Smack!*
Mosquitoes specifically target green pine trees, but luckily these creatures have thick skin and just won't leave, insisting on keeping biting them.
Jiang Yue couldn't stand it anymore, so she went back inside to get some floral water, sprayed it around the room, and only then did it calm down a lot.
"Knock knock knock~"
There was a faint knocking sound coming from outside.
"Woof woof woof~"
Xiao Bai's calls rang out, and Jiang Yue gestured for the children to continue while she went to open the door.
My daughter is quite well-behaved; she took a bath early and is reading medical books in her room.
She found the boys' conversations boring and decided to move around and see who was coming.
"Giggle~"
After she came out, Big White stretched its neck out of the simple shack and made a sound.
"Woof woof woof~"
Little White barks at Big White, as if to say, "We're acquaintances, don't make a sound."
Jiang Yue shrugged; she didn't understand animal language and couldn't translate it.
"Squeak~"
After opening the door, she saw her sister-in-law struggling to carry the vegetable basket, and quickly reached out to help.
Hiss~
What? It's so heavy!
"Third sister-in-law, this is chicken soup that Mother specially stewed. It's too heavy, so Father asked me to bring it over. It's still warm. Remember to let Qingyun drink more of it."
Da Zhou was used to doing rough work. The chicken soup was heavy, but it was not beyond her capacity to handle.
"Oh dear, I've made Mom kill a chicken again. I feel so bad!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue immediately pictured her mother-in-law's unsteady gait as she caught a chicken and painstakingly plucked its feathers.
"Don't let Mother hear you say that, or she'll say you're being too formal."
Da Zhou smiled, finished speaking, and left. She was still thinking about cutting fabric and making dolls after finishing her housework!
There's hope for the future now, thanks to my third brother's wife for pointing out the right path. What's wrong with my mother-in-law killing a few chickens? It's only right.
"Take care, sister-in-law!"
Jiang Yue watched her sister-in-law leave until she was out of sight before closing the gate and locking it.
"Woof woof woof~"
Little White smelled the aroma and his saliva started flowing.
"Greedy dog~"
Jiang Yue laughed and scolded him, then walked into the house.
The chicken soup was so delicious that even though everyone had already eaten dinner, they were all rubbing their bellies, indicating that they could still drink more!
The first bowl, with its oily chicken soup and a large chicken leg, was naturally for Qingyun.
Sigh, what can they do? They all benefited from Qingyun's influence.
Jiang Yue didn't want to gain weight, so she resolutely refused the chicken soup.
She picked up a chicken leg, ladled out some soup, and took a bowl to her daughter's room.
As for the rest, let the sons build whatever they want.
After Qingyun and her mother left, she took a large bowl, put two chicken wings and some chicken meat in it, ladled out half a bowl of soup, and mysteriously left through the back door...
Qingsong shook his head upon seeing this, then feigned maturity and said:
"Once the older brother grows up, the younger brother has no say in the matter."
Jiang Yue happened to come out and noticed that the eldest son was missing from the yard. Hearing the second son's remark, she raised an eyebrow and said:
"What?"
Qingsong quickly changed the subject and asked in return:
"Ahem, it's nothing. This soup smells so good, Mother, are you really not going to drink it?"
"No, you're all still growing, so drinking more chicken soup is good for your health."
Mother is tired, she's going back to her room to sleep.
Jiang Yue could easily see through her son's little scheme, but she decided to let it go and not meddle in young people's business.
Meanwhile, Qingshan sneaked to his future mother-in-law's door, hesitated for a while, and then knocked.
"Knock knock knock~"
"It's me, Aoyama. Is Auntie home?"
"Hey, it's snowing heavily, hurry up and open the door."
Mrs. Liu was washing dishes when she heard her future son-in-law calling her. She was about to wipe her hands and go to open the door, but hesitated when she got to the door and called her eldest daughter to open it.
"Squeak~"
After the door opened, perhaps because it was dark, the blush on the snow-covered surface was not clearly visible.
"Heavy snow, this is the chicken soup my grandma made, this is my portion, I think~"
Upon seeing the newcomer, Qingshan's brows relaxed, and his joy was palpable.
Hearing this, Da Xue couldn't help but laugh, but she wasn't a glutton, so she advised:
"Since it was Grandma Zhou who made it, you should drink it yourself. It's her kind gesture, meant to nourish your body."
"I'm perfectly healthy. Drink this chicken soup while it's hot; there are chicken wings in it too!"
Aoyama held the bowl in one hand and flexed his muscles with the other to show that what he said was true.
"Pfft~"
Da Xue couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The two young people were engaged, so they didn't need to be as secretive as others.
After exchanging a few words, Qingshan handed the bowl to Daxue and ran lightly home...
Seeing the chicken soup her daughter brought home, Mrs. Liu felt increasingly satisfied with her future son-in-law.
This guy is a doting husband!
It's good to have someone who cares about you!
"Mom, this chicken soup~"
Da Xue blushed and handed the bowl to her mother.
There is a proper order of seniority; how could she possibly eat alone?
"Drink this. Qingshan specially brought it for you to help you recover. You're getting married at the end of the month, and now we're making sure you get all the best things in the house."
Mrs. Liu raised her rough hand and patted her daughter's thin shoulder.
She doesn't have Jiang Meizi's ability to provide her family with a life of luxury.
However, she also possessed a mother's love!
"Mother~"
Da Xue was momentarily at a loss, but then, encouraged by her mother's gaze, she carried the chicken soup back inside...
Sigh~
A barely audible sigh escaped from Liu's side. The snow was too kind; she wondered if this kindness was a good thing or a bad thing...
Jiang Yue didn't know whether she was excited or not; she tossed and turned, unable to sleep!
This is the first time I've had insomnia since I transmigrated!
"Splash~"
Count the copper coins!
She hadn't even handled the copper coins her sons handed in today—one, two, three…
After half a night, Jiang Yue fell asleep holding the money box as she wished.
Strangely enough, she even had a beautiful dream.
I dreamt that she became the richest woman in Peach Blossom Town, possessing immense wealth, with countless silks, satins, gold, and jewels.
Haha~
She was so happy she couldn't stop smiling; even though she knew it was a dream, she didn't want to wake up.
Suddenly, a hazy-looking man in official robes walked towards her, his lazy yet magnetic voice ringing out:
Jiang Yue, you're not my mother, are you?
What nonsense are you talking about? I am your mother!
No, you're not. Tell me, where did you hide my mother?
I am~
You won't talk? Then you can choose between being torn to pieces or being slowly sliced to death!
Wu Qingyun, you can't treat me like this! I'm your mother!
Still being stubborn! Guards, execute this imposter lady of the highest rank by slow slicing!
Yes, sir!
No, I am your mother, I am your mother!
"I am your mother!"
Jiang Yue gasped in surprise, her eyes snapping open. Seeing the familiar room, she pressed her hand to her wildly pounding heart...
What happened? She was having a sweet dream, how did it turn into a nightmare!
"Mother? What's wrong?"
Outside, Qingyao's concerned voice could be heard...
