Chapter 48
When Jiao Huilan was in the confinement period for her last pregnancy, Jiao's mother came to make trouble, but was chased away by Zhen Zhen and her three sons. They haven't had much contact since then.
Last month, Zhang Cuihua came over to chat and said that Jiao Huilan's parents were going to build a house and were buying bricks.
Zhen Zhen thought that Jiao's mother was quite tough as she didn't come to suck her daughter's blood. Who knew she was waiting here, planning to come out and make trouble after her daughter gave birth to a son.
After Jiao's mother finished her words, no one in the ward spoke.
She frowned, feeling something was wrong.
Tao Aihong said gloatingly: "My mother-in-law is here, you are in trouble! Just wait and see, my mother-in-law will not forgive you! You will have to pay the price!"
Tao Aihong is a bit petty and always worried that her mother-in-law would secretly give money to the eldest wife. It is also true that she is lazy and likes to eat.
But she knew how Jiao Huilan treated her. Jiao's mother came to the ward to scold people, which meant that she did not take their Meng family seriously.
After all, Tao Aihong is the daughter-in-law of the Meng family and she cannot swallow this humiliation.
When Tao Aihong saw her mother-in-law coming back, her eyes lit up for the first time.
"Mom, my sister-in-law's mother is here to cause trouble again. It's obvious that she doesn't take our family seriously. Don't let her go. Use your poker to poke her!"
Zhen Zhen raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiao's mother. His expression as if he was about to laugh made Jiao's mother shudder.
"Why is my mother-in-law here?" Zhen Zhen asked lightly.
Mother Jiao was finally frightened by her beating. She smiled and said, "I heard Huilan gave birth to a child. I, as a grandmother, came to take a look."
Tao Aihong came over and said, "She lied to you. She came to borrow money!"
Zhen Zhen pushed her big face away and asked Jiao's mother:
"My mother-in-law came to visit my daughter, but didn't she bring anything? Even if she doesn't have brown sugar noodles, it's fine. Even if she doesn't have noodles, it's fine. Even if she doesn't have Sanzi, it's fine. I see that my mother-in-law doesn't have any packages on her, so she didn't come empty-handed, did she?"
Tao Aihong jumped out and pointed at Jiao's mother:
"She came here empty-handed! She didn't bring anything with her!"
Zhen Zhen pushed her away again.
"That can't be right? Last time when Huilan was in confinement, not only did her mother-in-law come to our house empty-handed, she also wanted to bring meat back from our house to support her grandson. This time when Huilan is in confinement, her mother-in-law came to our house empty-handed again. This shouldn't be the case. Is there such a shameless mother in this world?"
All the pregnant women in the hospital looked at Jiao Huilan with sympathy.
This kind of mother is really shameless. Even if the family is poor, she can save two steamed buns and bring them home.
How can you come here empty-handed?
It's fine if you're left with nothing, but you want your daughter to help her parents? There's really nothing you can do with a mother like this.
Jiao's mother was so embarrassed that her face turned red, but she still shamelessly mentioned the matter of borrowing money.
Of course, she had no intention of paying it back. Why? They were all relatives. Since the Meng family had money, shouldn't they lend her some?
Zhen Zhen smiled and did not refuse immediately. He just looked at Jiao Huilan with a smile and said softly:
"Huilan, your mother wants to lend your brother 100 yuan to build a house. It's up to you whether to lend it or not. I will listen to you."
Mother Jiao was delighted, for she knew her daughter best. She had never dared to disobey her, and she had always told her since she was little that when she grew up she should support her parents' home with the money she earned, so she would definitely not object.
"Huilan, you live in such a nice house, but your brother lives in a leaky thatched house. Don't you feel guilty when you sleep at night? You should quickly ask your mother-in-law to lend some money to your brother. When your brother builds a magnificent tiled house, he won't have to live such a hard life anymore!"
Jiao Huilan was calm, she looked at her mother calmly and asked:
"Mom, how many rooms do you plan to build at home?"
When Jiao's mother heard this, she thought it was a good idea and said with a smile, "It will cost several hundred to build four rooms."
"How do we allocate these four rooms?"
"How else can we divide it? One room for your parents, one for your brother and sister-in-law, one for your nephew, and the remaining one is for your brother and sister-in-law's future children."
Jiao Huilan smiled and said, "Mom, have you ever thought about leaving a room for your daughter?"
Mother Jiao was stunned by what she said, "What should I leave for you? A married daughter is an outsider, so how can she live in her parents' home? Besides, your brother's family is not doing well, and if you go back to your parents' home often, your sister-in-law will be unhappy. It's better for you to go back less often."
Jiao Huilan felt a little bitter inside, but fortunately she no longer had any expectations of Jiao's mother. She had a man who loved her, a mother-in-law who loved her, and hope for her life at home. Even if her parents' family treated her badly, she could let it go.
Jiao Huilan shook her head and for the first time in her life spoke out the unhappiness that had accumulated over the years:
"Mother, when I got married, you cried and said you had no money. You didn't even want to give me a dowry, but you could easily take out a few hundred yuan to build a house for my brother. Since there is no room for me in that house, and you and sister-in-law don't welcome me back to my parents' home, why should I, an outsider, pay for your family to build a house? It would be good if I had money to leave for my daughter!"
"How can that be possible!"
Mother Jiao was anxious. "A daughter is a daughter, and a son is a son. Your daughter will get married in the future. Leaving money to them will harm them. If you have money, you should leave it to your nephew to help your brother! How can you be so selfish and only think about yourself and not your brother? Aren't you ashamed?"
It would have been better if Jiao's mother hadn't said this, but by saying this she had cut off Jiao Huilan's last hope.
Jiao Huilan's tone also hardened, and she looked at her mother without any reluctance.
"You also said that a daughter is a daughter and a son is a son. If you don't have money, go to your son. Why are you looking for me?"
Jiao's mother was furious and wanted to act tough, but she glanced at Zhen Guizhi beside her and did not dare to do anything.
"Huilan, what's wrong with you? How can you say such things? He is your brother, your nephew! I am your mother!"
"You are my biological mother? I went through so much trouble during childbirth and confinement, and you came to see me without even bringing a steamed bun. How dare you say you are my biological mother?"
Jiao Huilan's retorts made her mother feel that her daughter had learned bad things. Where was her daughter who was so gentle, so obedient, and so easy to control? Where was the Jiao Huilan who always thought about her mother's family and would not eat her own meals but put two steamed buns in her pocket for her nephew?
Jiao's mother wanted to say something, but out of the corner of her eye she saw Meng Daguo coming into the room carrying a kettle of water.
Meng Daguo saw tears in Jiao Huilan's eyes and hurried over, "Huilan, who bullied you? I'll beat him up!"
He glared at Jiao's mother fiercely.
Mother Jiao's son-in-law was horrified and remembered the last time he was attacked by a hoe and a fork. He was so scared that he ran away without looking back.
After the people left, the ward returned to silence. The cold sunlight shone through the glass onto the bed. Jiao Huilan looked at Si Ya with a smile. The newborn baby was sleeping peacefully, as if he was having a sweet dream.
Si Ya looks like Jiao Huilan, with a round face and a seemingly quiet personality. She looks completely different from Da Ya and Er Ya.
Zhen Zhen said to Jiao Huilan:
"This birth was not in vain. I finally gave birth to a child who looks like you."
Jiao Huilan felt a little disappointed for not giving birth to a son, but she was no longer as fearful as before.
Because someone told her that boys and girls are the same and are both their parents' treasures.
She has the best mother-in-law in the world.
Being a mother for the third time, Jiao Huilan was very experienced and she changed the baby's diaper skillfully and wrapped the baby in a blanket.
The young wife in the next bed was wondering why the Meng family's children didn't tie their legs. Her children had their legs tied since they were young, with their calves tied together with a rope so that their legs could be straight.
Jiao Huilan told them that her mother-in-law said that tying the legs was wrong and a bad habit, and that it was enough to wrap the child tightly so that he felt safe, and there was no need to tie the child up like a dumpling.
The young wife was half-believing and half-doubting, as this was inconsistent with what her mother and mother-in-law said. But she glanced at Zhen Guizhi, who had an extraordinary temperament, and felt that this mother-in-law was really unusual, and for a moment she was a little unsure.
It would be a lie for Meng Daguo to say he was not disappointed. It is a terrible thing for a rural person to die without a son to smash the pot when he dies!
But Jiao Huilan had just suffered so much and had just given birth to Si Ya. As a man, he couldn't make his wife unhappy at this time. Besides, his relationship with Jiao Huilan was getting better day by day. The two of them never quarreled, and they were in harmony in bed. Their life was quite promising.
Is it true that just because I didn't give birth to a son, I have to ruin this good life?
Besides, mother seems to like Si Ya particularly.
"Mom, what about this granddaughter?" Meng Daguo asked.
Zhen Zhen hugged Si Ya and said with a smile, "Mother likes Daya, Erya, and Si Ya as well. Mother likes them not because of any generational kinship or because they are my granddaughters, but simply because they are your children. As long as they are your children, mother will like them and cherish them in her heart."
Meng Daguo thought of his missed childhood.
He also hoped that his mother at that time would be like now, saying that she loved him gently and cherishing him at the top of her heart, but his mother at that time only had Meng Hua in her eyes and never looked back at him.
He could only sit alone in the corner and watch his mother give all her love to his younger brother.
Does he also want his children to become the same person they once were?
Meng Daguo suddenly felt relieved. No matter whether it was a boy or a girl, as long as it was his own child, it was fine.
He laughed and said, "Mom, what you said is so corny. I am embarrassed for my son."
Zhen Zhen teased him: "This father is different. He even knows how to save face."
Meng Daguo was amused by what her mother said, "Mom, you should come up with the name for Si Ya, right?"
The second girl's name is Mengxi. Last year, when the village came to register the names of the children and conduct a household census, Zhen Zhen reported the name of the eldest girl and named her Mengnan. The third girl's name is Mengdong, so there is only one word "bei" left after the four elements of east, south, west and north.
Originally, Zhen Zhen thought that Si Ya should just be called Meng Bei. Although the name sounds like a boy's, no one stipulates that this word must be used for boys, right? Then he thought that the order of the four words East, South, West and North is messed up. Da Ya is obviously the oldest child, but she is called Meng Nan, so it doesn't necessarily have to be in order.
In this case, it would be better to leave the name Meng Bei to Tao Aihong's upcoming child.
Just give Si Ya a new name.
Si Ya had a round and quiet face, her cry was soft, and her eyes were timid when she looked at people, which really didn't match the name Meng Bei.
Zhen Zhen pondered and said, "Why not take a word from the phrase 'Flowers in full bloom and a full moon'?"
Meng Daguo slapped his thigh and said, "Mom is really well-educated! The names she gave me are all beyond my imagination. Meng Hua? That's a good name. Mom is really good at giving names!"
I won't exaggerate. There's no need to exaggerate. Zhen Zhen tapped his head and laughed:
"It's Meng Hao! Si Ya's name is Meng Hao!"
Meng Daguo scratched his head, "Meng Hao is even better, even better! My mother is really good at naming, much better than me who is so stupid."
This flattery made a group of people in the ward roll their eyes.
Tao Aihong almost choked when she heard this.
Jiao Huilan also shook her head.
Meng Eryong pouted like Tao Aihong and thought that the boss was really a flatterer. He didn't know who he learned all these things from.
Si Ya was born prematurely, and Zhen Zhen was afraid that she would not have enough milk powder, so she went to Zhao Meilan to buy two more packets.
"You have a granddaughter again? Oh my God! You look so young, I never thought you were already a grandmother."
Zhen Zhen laughed, "Time makes people grow old, what can we do? Young people, don't think that life is long, you will be old in the blink of an eye."
It feels really good to take advantage of your age.
From time to time, I can say a few words to express my feelings.
Zhao Meilan listened to it. She also felt that time passed quickly. In a blink of an eye, she already had three children. However, her children would not let go of milk powder. They could eat rice porridge without starving to death, which was better than many people.
Zhao Meilan gave the milk powder to Zhen Zhen and mentioned the handsome young man she brought last time.
Zhao Meilan is still thinking about the scarves and foreign goods that the young man sent her. Those things were snatched away as soon as they were taken out. Many people asked her when the next time they would get such good goods.
"Sister, I heard that young man is tall and handsome, and looks a lot like you. Tell me the truth, is that your son?"
Zhen Zhen neither admitted nor denied it. It was a taboo to talk about deep things with someone you were not familiar with, and she didn't want to reveal her family's financial situation to others.
"Nothing."
"Sister, you still don't trust me? I don't blame you for your cautious personality, but my husband praised the child for being outstanding, saying that he is an intellectual and promising person, and will have a great future! He must be a very successful person." These are the words Zhao Meilan said behind her husband's back.
Zhen Zhen was of course happy to hear others praising his son.
"I'll take your words as a token of my appreciation. I'll have a chance to verify them later to see if your man's judgment of people is accurate."
"Of course! My man told me to follow you and not fall behind. We will do whatever you do."
Zhen Zhen thought that this young couple was truly extraordinary.
Although it may not seem impressive now and he may only make a few hundred yuan a year, Zhao Meilan has the vision to judge people, is willing to endure hardships and take risks, and will definitely make a lot of money in the next 20 years of bonus period.
"As long as you two are of one mind, you will definitely live a good life." Zhen Zhen praised.
Zhao Meilan also thinks her man is good. Although he is disabled and does not make any money, what he earns is no better than those regular workers. Her man loves her and will prepare water for her to wash her feet and help her soak her feet behind closed doors.
Zhao Meilan was content to find such a man to live with.
"Anyway, we'll follow you."
Zhen Zhen laughed when she heard that, waved her hands, and went back with the milk powder.
However, she still brought a piece of gossip from Zhao Meilan, saying that Xiao Tong was determined to jump into the fire pit, breaking up with her family and marrying Zhou Changsheng.
Zhou Changsheng instigated her to register secretly, with ulterior motives!
After Meng Li finished her confinement, she brought her two children back to her parents' home.
Jiang Dongping initially refused to allow it, fearing that the child would catch a cold and get sick.
But Meng Li felt that the weather was getting cold down there, and she couldn't just bring the child back home casually. She wouldn't be able to go back to her parents' home for at least a few months. So she wanted to bring the child back to let Old Lady Meng and Old Lady Meng's father see the child before the weather got completely cold.
By the way, I also came to visit Jiao Huilan who was in confinement after giving birth.
Meng Li was also a man of means. She didn't have any milk powder because that stuff required tickets, and she and Jiang Dongping didn't have enough tickets for the twins. But she still brought back two bags of brown sugar and two pig's trotters.
As a peer, it was indeed too much for her to bring these things, but it was also because Zhen Zhen was so good to her.
Jiao Huilan kept saying that she was too polite, and she also felt grateful in her heart that Meng Li was a good person, and her mother-in-law was not treated well by her.
Old Mrs. Meng looked at Meng Li's twins. Needless to say, she was very happy, but she couldn't help but sigh:
"It would be nice if Huilan could give birth to a son."
Meng Li said to her: "I see my aunt loves Si Ya very much. She said boys and girls are the same. Grandma, you are a girl, so don't favor boys over girls."
Old Lady Meng said, "How can I favor sons over daughters? Of all these grandchildren, I love you and Meng Hua the most! I just saw that your second uncle died early, so I want the second branch to have more descendants and carry on the family line."
"My aunt doesn't care."
"If you give birth to a son and a daughter, and she gives birth to a son, that would be perfect. Wouldn't that make everyone happy?"
Old Mrs. Meng felt that Goddess Guanyin must not have been working recently, otherwise why would she not even send her son away?
The Meng family has been dominated by yang and weak yin for generations, so it is strange that even Meng Daguo cannot give birth to a son.
Meng Li felt that this old lady was really depressed.
But she also knew that the old lady didn't dare to tell her aunt.
Don't think the old lady is very capable, she becomes less arrogant when she sees her aunt, and now she listens to her second daughter-in-law the most.
But nowadays everyone wants a son. She already has two sons, but her colleagues are urging her to have another one, saying that more children means more blessings. She thinks it’s funny. Her twins are not even a month old, but they are urging her to have a second child. Is this crazy?
During the days that Jiao Huilan was in confinement, Meng Zhaodi and Cheng Su were taking care of the family.
The two of them had a clear division of labor: Meng Zhaodi was responsible for cooking pig food, sweeping the floor, and washing clothes, while Cheng Su was responsible for taking care of the small vegetable garden, cooking, and frying chestnuts and melon seeds.
We have to cook a lot of pig food at home every day, but two pigs cannot eat so much.
The roasted chestnuts and melon seeds were also nowhere to be found. Meng Zhaodi and Cheng Su were aware of these doubts.
But they never asked.
Zhen Zhen came in carrying a chicken.
Cheng Su cooked the chicken and tore it into strips according to Zhen Zhen's instructions.
The freshly cooked chicken smells delicious and the chicken soup is still steaming.
Zhen Zhen put the spinach noodles into chicken soup and cooked them. Then she added the shredded chicken and some cabbage leaves. The fragrant shredded chicken noodles were ready.
There is no doubt that the heroine is a great cook. This bowl of chicken noodle soup is so delicious that it really pleases Zhen Zhen.
Cheng Su brought the chicken soup noodles into the house, and Jiao Huilan felt a little embarrassed.
"Let me do it, why should I ask you to take care of me?"
Cheng Su smiled. She didn't want Aunt Zhen to work so hard.
"It's nothing. Aunt Zhen taught me to read every day. It's my duty to take care of you."
Jiao Huilan took the noodles with a smile. Not only were the noodles in chicken soup delicious, but her mother-in-law also cooked three eggs, cut them up, and prepared some sauce for her to dip in.
It was the first time for Jiao Huilan to eat eggs like this, and she really felt that eggs were the most delicious thing in the world!
After eating the chicken soup noodles, there is also pig trotter. The trotter has tendons and is cooked until it is mushy. The taste is also amazing.
There are also dumplings with lamb chops soup, meat buns with vegetable and egg soup, pork ribs with fish soup, wolfberry rabbit meat soup with steamed glutinous rice ribs, not to mention steamed egg custard, boiled corn, red date cake, salinated pork rice and so on.
In short, her mother-in-law never keeps her busy.
All the people who came to visit her in the village were very happy. They all said that with Jiao Huilan's diet, who wouldn't be willing to give birth to a few more children for her husband's family?
Tao Aihong was even more direct. She pouted and said to Meng Eryong:
"I want to have confinement, too."
Meng Eryong glared at her and said something like, "What a psycho."
Jiang Dongping came to pick up Meng Li, and Meng Li took the two children back home. When they arrived at the courtyard, they saw Zhou's mother washing vegetables at the door from a distance.
Glancing at Meng Li holding the baby, Zhou's mother's eyes became vicious, and she wished she could kill Meng Li from a distance.
Meng Li found it funny that such people never reflected on their mistakes.
My aunt is right. We can't get used to this kind of person. If Zhou's mother dares to cause trouble, she will definitely repay her double.
"Meng Li, are you going back to your mother's home?" the neighbor asked.
Meng Li smiled and deliberately said loudly: "Yes, my grandparents have never seen the twins. Bring them back and let them see them!"
"You gave birth to two sons in one pregnancy. No one is as lucky as you. The old man must be worried sick!"
The more the neighbors looked at her child, the more they liked him. "This child is really well-raised, white and chubby. He was smaller than other children when he was born, but he has caught up with other children right after the confinement period. Look at how fat his face is."
Meng Li smiled and said, "I am now feeding my child with milk powder at the same time. My aunt said this is called mixed feeding. In the future, when I am not at work, the children can also eat milk powder. It is good for both the children and adults."
Neighbors thought that although she was from the countryside, she could hold her own.
Originally, some people said behind Jiang Dongping's back that he was stupid. Even if Meng Li was a virgin, she was just a married woman.
He is a young man getting married for the first time and he can find any woman he wants, but he wants to find a divorced woman.
But later, Meng Li gave birth to twins, and the couple had a sweet relationship and lived a happy life.
Everyone began to envy Jiang Dongping again.
But Zhou's mother looked extremely unhappy.
Zhen Zhen didn't know about these things. She was busy stockpiling rice and flour. There was no shortage of rice and flour in the family, but there were rumors that this winter would be particularly cold. With two more people to feed, Cheng Su and Meng Zhaodi, the family had to stockpile more food.
The weather was getting colder and there was a light snow today. Zhen Zhen rubbed his hands and went to get firewood.
After putting the firewood into the bottom of the pot, she took the freshly pickled sauerkraut to Zhang Cuihua's house.
Zhang Cuihua thanked her. She had not been in the mood to pickle vegetables this year because of the incident with the concubine.
"Thanks for giving me a pot, otherwise I would not be able to eat it this year."
"What about Xiao Hong?"
"She refused to go back. My grandson is also a good-for-nothing. He blames me for destroying his family and says that if his parents get divorced, it's all my fault! He also says that I shouldn't find someone to beat up his father. After all, he is his biological father. If I beat up his father, I would be his enemy! Listen to me, is this what human beings say?" Zhang Cuihua felt upset.
Zhen Zhen smiled and comforted her, "Even children may not be considerate, let alone grandchildren. Besides, Chen Liu is that kind of person, and his seed is also inherited."
Zhang Cuihua nodded, "Xiaohong is asking for a divorce, and Chen Liu got drunk yesterday and came to our house to make trouble, saying that if Xiaohong dared to divorce, he would kill our whole family. You see how serious this is."
Zhen Zhen didn't think Chen Liu really dared to do it, but it was still better to be on guard against such people.
There are four children in the family, and eggs are the fastest consumed item. Even if five hens lay eggs every day, it is still not enough to eat.
Zhen Zhen would secretly go to the black market from time to time to buy some eggs to bring home.
If you don’t have eggs, buy pigeon eggs or quail eggs. If that doesn’t work, duck eggs or goose eggs are also good.
Eggs are really good things. When eaten with milk powder, the four children named Zhen Zhen are all fair, tender, strong and healthy.
However, after a cold wave came, Daya started coughing non-stop and had a fever within a few days.
Fortunately, there was some antipyretic medicine in Zhen Zhen's space, and after feeding Daya a few doses, she was fine.
She stewed some Sichuan pear soup and salt-steamed tangerines as dietary therapy for her three children to eat to moisten their lungs.
As for Si Ya, she is still a baby after all. If her mother is in good health, her health will not be bad either.
The immunity comes from breast milk, and Jiao Huilan must have eaten a lot, so Si Ya's body is also very good.
Before the New Year, the village distributed pork, and it was rare for each person to get one pound of meat. Nowadays, every household has many people, so if a family can get six or seven pounds, it would be quite good.
Make dumplings, make buns, and eat them twice during the New Year, that’s enough!
After the meat was distributed, grain was also distributed. The amount of grain distributed was more than in previous years. The villagers all had smiles on their faces when they went back.
Zhen Zhen has no plans to kill pigs before the New Year. He plans to breed the pigs after the New Year to give birth to sows. If a litter can give birth to ten piglets, Meng Daguo won't have to worry, and he will be able to earn more from pork next year.
The weather was fine and windless, the sun was warm and it felt very comfortable on the body.
Zhen Zhen was sitting in the yard knitting.
Poor girl Cheng Su was also very poor. She didn't even have a decent sweater in the middle of winter. Fortunately, she had a piece of pink wool on hand that she hadn't used yet. It matched Cheng Su's skin tone very well.
When the door opened, Zhen Zhen looked up while knitting a sweater, smiling: "Daguo is back?"
Meng Daguo waved the thing in his hand ostentatiously, "Mom, look what I got!"
"Hey! It's a hare!"
When Jiao Huilan was in confinement after giving birth, Zhen Zhen bought a wild rabbit from the black market and made soup for her. However, that rabbit looked like a domestic one, but Meng Daguo's was different. It was obviously a rabbit that had lived in the wild, and the meat was particularly firm, which could be felt by pinching the rabbit's leg.
"Where did the rabbit come from?"
Meng Daguo can finally show off. Recently, the farm has been free, so he and Dachuan often go to the pig farm. After feeding the pigs, they have nothing to do. When they heard the noise, they set their eyes on the rabbit's nest. However, a cunning rabbit has three burrows, and the rabbit's nest is either on the ground or underground, so it is hard to find!
Meng Daguo watched for three days before he finally caught the hare!
This wild rabbit is very fat. If it is made into spicy rabbit meat, it will be enough to satisfy the whole family.
After the rabbit hair is processed cleanly, it can be used to make gloves for my mother and Daya.
Meng Daguo took his mother and his daughter-in-law into consideration and thought they were both very beautiful.
Cheng Su chopped the rabbit into cubes and fried it into a spicy flavor. The whole family enjoyed it very much, except Daya, who shouted that she didn't want to eat rabbit.
Years ago, Zhen Zhen thought Meng Li would never return to her parents' home, but she only came back once in June. As soon as she entered the house, she came to her to complain, saying that Jiang Dongping's unreasonable aunt had brought her three children to live in Jiang's house.
You have to know that the Jiang family's house of more than 20 square meters was already home to three adults and two children. Aunt Jiang was taking care of three half-grown children. The 20-square-meter house was so crowded that there was not enough room for people to stand. I don't know what she was thinking.
Zhen Zhen asked her, "Why did you come at this time when you could have come at any other time? Did you hear something about it?"
Meng Li didn't react yet, but after a moment's thought she understood what her aunt meant.
After the baby was born, there was not enough space at home, and Meng Li had also slapped the Zhou family in the face, so they thought about moving to a new home before the New Year.
Everyone in the compound knew about this. Meng Li was planning to pack her luggage and move out to celebrate the New Year in her new home, but Aunt Jiang chose to come to the house at this time.
It makes people think more.
