"I hope so. How is Aunt Zhou at your house? Mom is here too. Xiaoran and Xiaoche can come to my place after school." Aunt Xiumei said this very tactfully. In fact, she wanted the Nanqiao family to come to her place for dinner on weekdays. After all, it would cost a lot to hire one person at home. But on the other hand, Aunt Zhou has taken good care of the Nanqiao family over the years, so it is not easy for Aunt Xiumei to tell her to leave.
Nanqiao smiled when she heard that. Her mother-in-law didn't have any bad intentions, she was just too frugal. But her thoughts were her own. Nanqiao would not lower her quality of life just because her mother-in-law thought it was a waste. Moreover, Aunt Zhou was different from other people. Xiao Shinian's companionship and care were real. Aunt Zhou had no relatives at the moment, so if she was to be fired, she would be kicked out of the house. Nanqiao could not do such a thing.
Aunt Xiumei saw that Nanqiao didn't say anything and was afraid that she didn't understand what she meant, so she said, "Qiaoqiao, although you have made a lot of money in the past few years, we still have to save money. Mom can cook at home, so it's easier for you to come over for dinner on weekdays. If you hire one more person, there will be one more mouth to feed at home. Besides, Xiaoran and Xiaoche will get close to her over time..."
"Mom! What are you talking about?" Taohua, who was standing by, heard her mother talking more and more outrageously, so she interrupted her. She had seen how good Aunt Zhou was to Nanqiao and the two children, and how much Nanqiao valued Aunt Zhou. If her mother continued to talk, she was afraid that Nanqiao would have nothing good to say.
Nanqiao was listening to Aunt Xiumei's words becoming more and more unpleasant. Taohua interrupted him and Nanqiao suppressed his emotions.
"Mom, Aunt Zhou is very good." Nanqiao said nothing more after saying this, but she was a little unhappy with Aunt Xiumei's attitude. Although Aunt Zhou was hired for money, she has been doing her best over the years, from the time she was pregnant to now taking care of the children. What's wrong with Xiaoran and Xiaoche being close to her? To be honest, Aunt Zhou is no worse than her mother-in-law. In the future... Only Aunt Zhou will not do anything to hurt her family... She plans to provide for her in her old age.
Aunt Xiumei saw this and knew that she had crossed the line. Her face immediately turned unhappy and she smiled awkwardly, "Okay, being a mother is too much, you guys decide."
Nanqiao's smile was a little hard to hold back after hearing these words, but he couldn't get angry either. He stood at the door with a cold face.
"Why are you all standing at the door?" Sheng Yanchuan parked the car, looked at Nanqiao and the others standing at the door, got out of the car and walked towards them.
"Sister-in-law went to the house to get something. Let's go sit over there later."
"Well, let's have dinner at home tonight," Sheng Yanchuan said to Aunt Xiumei.
"Okay." Aunt Xiumei was still thinking whether Nanqiao would mind what she had just said, and her expression was somewhat annoyed. Sheng Yanchuan saw that the two of them looked a little strange, and there was a flash of speculation and curiosity in his eyes, but he didn't ask, just waited to go back and ask Nanqiao what he had just said.
"Sister-in-law, can I drive you home later?" Taohua saw that Nanqiao was in a bad mood, so she changed the subject in a coquettish way.
"Did you pass the exam?" Nanqiao asked, tilting his head. It had only been a few days since he said that, but he had already received the certificate.
"I got it, sister-in-law, look." Taohua took out the neatly arranged documents from her small bag.
Nanqiao took it and looked at it. It was the certificate that was just issued yesterday. Xiao Taohua was very proud of it. Nanqiao was in a better mood and raised his hand to touch her forehead.
"Then let your brother sit in the passenger seat and let him drive with you," Nanqiao said as he took out the car key from his pocket and gave it to Taohua.
"Here you go. Ask your brother to find someone from Chaoyang to practice with you. This car will stay with you from now on."
"Sister-in-law, are you really giving it to me?" Nanqiao had said before that the car was for her, but she was still shocked when she really got it. This is a car! It's not a small item like a watch. It's a car that even people in remote villages may not have seen. Nanqiao just gave it to her.
"I'll give it to you, but you have to be careful. It's okay to drive slowly." Nanqiao agreed to let her drive, provided that she was sure she was safe.
"Okay, sister-in-law, don't worry, I will drive slowly and drive on the road alone when I am proficient in it." Taohua took the car keys, jumped up happily, hugged Nanqiao and kissed her hard on the cheek.
"This...Qiaoqiao, you gave this car to Taohua? You can keep it for yourself, Taohua is still young." Aunt Xiumei listened to Taohua's cheers, and just came to her senses when she heard that Nanqiao gave the car to Taohua. She felt very complicated for a moment. On the one hand, she was happy that Nanqiao was generous to Taohua, and on the other hand, she disagreed with Nanqiao's extravagance.
"Well, there is another one at home," Nanqiao replied subconsciously, without any intention of appeasing her mother-in-law. The car has already been bought, and she will go home later. It is impossible to hide it, not to mention that Nanqiao does not intend to hide it, so this sentence is said very directly, without any intention of covering up.
Aunt Xiumei paused again when she heard this. The life of the second son's family...
"Taohua is really capable, she can even drive." Huiping came out with a lot of bags in her arms. When she heard Taohua's words, she was really happy for her.
"Sister-in-law, when I'm done practicing, I'll take you for a ride." Taohua didn't respond to her mother's words. Although she was her biological mother, Taohua still felt that she shouldn't care about so many things. The second brother's family lived their own lives. They could enjoy themselves within the scope of their conditions. Taohua felt that there was nothing wrong with it. Moreover, there was a generation gap between people of different generations. In addition, the life of the second brother's family was no longer the days of farming and earning work points. If her mother kept interfering with the life of the second brother's family with her own ideas, problems would arise sooner or later.
"Okay, sister-in-law will wait for you." As he spoke, Sheng Yanjun helped put the things into the trunk.
Sheng Yanchuan reluctantly sat in the passenger seat of Taohua's car...
