"Excuse me for waiting a moment," Nanqiao said to the two blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners in a foreign language, and then he stood up with the help of Lingdang.
"Sister-in-law, take mom to the study to rest first. I have some work to deal with here."
"Okay, okay, you go ahead and do your work," Hui Ping responded, and hurriedly took Aunt Xiumei to change her shoes and went to the study next door. The study was not big, and since no one was at home today as it was a weekday, Nan Qiao was talking about things in the living room. He didn't expect the two of them to come back.
Seeing them enter the room and sit down, Nanqiao sat back on the sofa and continued the conversation, occasionally writing and drawing on paper.
Looking through the window of the study, she saw Nanqiao chatting and laughing with ease. Her ears were filled with a language she couldn't understand. Aunt Xiumei lowered her voice and asked, "She's pregnant now. Has she been handling her work like this all this time?"
"That girl was brought up by Nanqiao. Her name is Lingdang. She can handle most of the work. There should be fewer cases like this brought home, but they are all things they cannot handle. Nanqiao has to come in person."
"Mom, Nanqiao's ability is no worse than Yanchuan's. Although I'm pregnant at home, I'm making money every day." In order to improve Nanqiao's impression, Huiping did not forget to praise her in front of her mother-in-law.
"I know, I didn't say she has no ability, I just think it's too hard," Aunt Xiumei said unnaturally. In fact, the Nanqiao she had seen was always gentle and beautiful. It was the first time she saw me being so strategic as I am now. It also made her realize clearly that Nanqiao was not the kind of daughter-in-law who was manipulated by her mother-in-law. She was a companion who could stand beside Yanchuan.
Aunt Xiumei stared at Nanqiao, as if thinking about something, and didn't even notice Aunt Zhou coming in.
"Have some fruit, they will probably take all morning." Putting down the fruit, Aunt Zhou also sat down in the room. In fact, she knew something about the conflict between Aunt Xiumei and Nanqiao. As a mother-in-law, she had not visited them during this period. She was so old, what else could she not understand? She wanted to say something at this moment, but she didn't know whether she should say it or not.
"Is it like this often recently?" Aunt Xiumei came back to her senses after hearing Aunt Zhou's voice and asked
"No, it seems that there are some problems recently, and Qiaoqiao has to deal with them personally. She had severe morning sickness some time ago, and Yanchuan didn't let her deal with these things." Aunt Zhou glanced over there and said
"Yeah." Aunt Xiumei nodded and said nothing more, just waiting quietly.
By noon, things were basically settled, and Nanqiao breathed a sigh of relief. He just had to leave the rest to Lingdang.
Lingdang had already booked a table earlier. After the matter was settled, Lingdang said goodbye to Nanqiao and took the two guests to the restaurant.
After seeing off the guests, Nanqiao sat down on the sofa again and touched the slightly cool water. When he was about to get up to pour some water, he looked up and saw Aunt Xiumei in the study. Then he remembered that they
Before she could get there, Aunt Xiumei and Huiping came over, and Aunt Zhou poured a cup of warm water for Nanqiao. The warm water slid down her throat, and Nanqiao felt her throat, which had been talking all morning, feel better.
"Mom, sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I was busy this morning and didn't take care of you."
"It's okay, business is more important," Huiping said, and gently nudged Aunt Xiumei. Seeing that she didn't say anything, she continued, "It's Mom who wants to come today."
Nanqiao naturally saw Huiping's little move, but he couldn't understand her intention.
"Qiaoqiao, the meal is ready. How about we talk while we eat?" Aunt Zhou suggested, seeing the awkward atmosphere.
"Okay," Nanqiao nodded, and then looked at Huiping and Aunt Xiumei, "Let's eat here at noon, they won't be back at noon."
"Sure, let me try your food. I heard that Li Yan's cooking skills are pretty good." Hui Ping was afraid that Aunt Xiumei would refuse and make the situation worse, so she quickly interrupted.
Nanqiao smiled but said nothing. Seeing that they had agreed, Aunt Zhou went to the kitchen to serve the dishes with Li Yan. Usually, Aunt Zhou and Nanqiao would sit together, while Li Yan and Wang Hong would not sit together. But today, since they seemed to have something to say, Aunt Zhou did not want to sit at the table. In the end, Nanqiao came to find her, so she sat down at the table again.
"Try it. I eat lighter food when I'm pregnant, less oil and less salt. I wonder if it suits your taste." Nanqiao's taste has always been lighter, especially after she got pregnant. She couldn't eat anything with heavy oil or salt. During this period, Sheng Yanchuan's weight had also changed a lot over the years. But it should be said that she ate a delicate and healthy diet.
The food did not really suit Aunt Xiumei and Huiping's appetite, but the taste and freshness of the ingredients were beyond reproach. Besides, they did not come here mainly for the meal, so they were not very particular.
Nanqiao had been busy all morning and had no chance to eat snacks. He was already extremely hungry. He could not care about others at the moment. He ate until he was 80% full before he had the energy to chat with them.
"Mom, sister-in-law, what's the matter with you guys coming here today?"
Aunt Xiumei took a deep breath, put down her chopsticks and said, "Qiaoqiao, I owe you an apology."
While Aunt Xiumei was talking, Nanqiao had just put a piece of pork ribs into his mouth. When he heard this, he felt that it was not right to chew on this piece of meat, nor was it right not to chew on it. He was stunned for a moment, then he took a bite of the meat, chewed it a few times in a hurry, and swallowed it, saying, "Mom, let's not talk about the past."
It's been more than half a year, why did she think of saying it now? But Nanqiao didn't care whether she apologized or not. Those things that couldn't be saved would be useless no matter what she did. As for those that didn't need to be saved, she had long stopped caring about them. She asked her not to interfere too much in her life. She was still her good mother-in-law. If she still wanted to give her orders, an apology would be useless.
