"Hey, you...you guys!" Aunt Xiumei watched everyone leave one by one. She was so angry that she wanted to throw something, but after looking around, she couldn't bear to do so. She could only stomp her feet a few times in anger. The whole room was filled with Aunt Xiumei's sighs.
The next day...Aunt Xiumei still didn't go to Nanqiao's house. Instead, Uncle Sheng took a lot of things and went to Nanqiao's house.
Because it happened to be a weekend, when Uncle Sheng arrived, Sheng Yanchuan, Aunt Zhou, Nan's mother, and Shen Nian Yingxue stayed beside Nanqiao, talking to her and eating fruit, while Taohua was at a table not far away, accompanying Xiaoran, Xiaoche, Shishu and Shiyan to do their homework, giving them guidance from time to time.
Everyone in the room was sitting in the living room, not too far away from Nanqiao, chatting and talking.
When Uncle Sheng came in, he was a little surprised to see so many people there. Then he felt embarrassed that he was visiting alone. But more importantly, he envied the harmonious and warm atmosphere of the family.
"Oh, the in-laws are here, come in and sit down." Nan's mother immediately looked at the people brought by Wang Hong and Li Yan, and hurriedly stood up.
Sister Wang and Sister Li just came back from shopping and happened to run into him. This was also the first time they saw Uncle Sheng. They looked at each other, and after they changed their shoes and went into the house, they went back to their respective work.
Chen Nian and Ying Xue saw the person coming and hurriedly stood up to greet him, calling him uncle. Sheng Yanchuan also stood up and took the things in his hand and put them on the table beside him. "Dad, what are you doing here with all these things?"
"Hey, hello, mother-in-law."
"They are all free-range eggs and old hens. Nanqiao is pregnant and eating these is good for her health." Uncle Sheng rubbed his hands and sat down on a single sofa.
"I heard from Nanqiao that the store is very busy these past two days. If you are busy, go there first. We will take care of Qiaoqiao here." Nan's mother really didn't know about Nanqiao and the Sheng family, so when she asked why the Nan family didn't come, she believed Nanqiao's words that the store was busy. Now that she was talking about this matter, it was really just a simple question.
But the speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. These words were so harsh to Sheng's father's ears that his face felt hot and he didn't know what to do. He could only smile awkwardly and explain, "I'm not that busy. They have a lot of things to do and there's nothing I can do. I'm just busy doing nothing."
"Is that so? But it's good to have a break. The weather is getting hot soon. The summer in Shanghai is very hot." Nan's mother looked at Uncle Sheng's expression and glanced towards Nanqiao. She seemed to have noticed something was wrong. She stopped asking questions and just talked about other family matters.
Near noon, the Nan family's meal was ready. They estimated that Nan's father and Nan Bo were about to get off work, so Nan's mother and Shen Nian Yingxue planned to go home with the children.
"Then my dear, we will go back first. My wife will probably be back soon. Please stay here for a while and have dinner at home," Nan's mother said as she stood up.
"No, no, I'm planning to go back too." Father Sheng saw that Nan's mother and the others were about to leave, so he didn't plan to stay either, and stood up to go out with them.
"Then Dad, I'll see you off." Sheng Yanchuan said, bending down slightly and whispering something to Nan Qiao, and then they saw Nan's mother and his father off together.
As they walked, Sheng Yanchuan said in a low voice, "Dad, does everyone in the family know about this?"
"Well, your mother had a tantrum last night." Uncle Sheng was also embarrassed, but he still told Sheng Yanchuan to avoid any conflicts later.
"I don't have any other thoughts. Qiaoqiao's pregnancy reaction is particularly strong this time. I don't want her to be in a bad mood because of these things. That's why I haven't told her for the time being." Anyway, Sheng Yanchuan still explained to his father.
"Well, I know. You don't have to worry about the family. Just take good care of Nanqiao. Your mom's situation is only temporary. I'll talk to her about it."
"Thank you, Dad."
Father Sheng listened to Sheng Yanchuan's thanks and waved his hand in disapproval, "Why do you say these things when you are family?"
The two of them walked and talked, and when they arrived at the door of Sheng's house, Sheng Yanchuan did not go in. He said hello to Sheng's father and turned back home.
Looking at Sheng Yanchuan's back as he left, Father Sheng sighed. He had noticed Aunt Xiumei's mood swings over the past two years. He didn't take it seriously at first, but later he realized that it was becoming more and more uncontrollable.
As Huiping's mother-in-law, she is used to controlling her daughter-in-law. As Sheng Yanjun's mother, Sheng Yanjun's changing emotions make her cautious. As Sheng Yanchuan's mother, she feels guilty and at a loss. But as Nanqiao's mother-in-law, on the basis of her guilt towards Sheng Yanchuan, she wants to treat Nanqiao well, but also wants to establish her authority as a mother-in-law on Nanqiao's side. However, Nanqiao's superior conditions make her even more at a loss when facing Nanqiao than when facing Sheng Yanchuan.
Aunt Xiumei is contradictory. Over time, her way of doing things becomes more and more paranoid.
But as her husband, Uncle Sheng tried to persuade her, but it didn't work... He didn't know what to do.
He sighed and went back to the house.
Aunt Xiumei was also at home at this time, preparing to call the children to eat next door before the customers came in. Seeing Uncle Sheng coming in, Aunt Xiumei glanced at him and said sarcastically, "Oh, you're back, and no one invited you to have a meal."
"I stayed, but there were too many people. I didn't want to stay so I came back." Uncle Sheng deliberately said there were too many people, waiting to see Aunt Xiumei's expression. Sure enough, Aunt Xiumei did not disappoint him. When she heard that there were too many people, Aunt Xiumei looked a little unnatural, and after a long while she asked dryly, "There are too many people? Who is there?"
"The Nan family members are all here, and the children are here too."
"oh"
"Let's go, let's eat." Aunt Xiumei felt very complicated when she heard this, but she refused to give in and asked the children to go to the next room to eat.
