"No, it's what it is. I really shouldn't have said those things before, but I really don't have any bad intentions. If you don't like it, I won't interfere anymore. As long as you and Yanchuan are fine, that's all." Aunt Xiumei hesitated while speaking. Because Aunt Zhou was also at the table, Aunt Xiumei was embarrassed to bring up the reason for the previous conflict.
"Yeah, I know." Nanqiao nodded calmly and continued to chew his bones. His expression was not obvious, but he wanted to laugh in his heart. So he didn't really understand that she shouldn't interfere in her life, but he was worried that her dislike would affect her and her son's life.
But she didn't care. She was Sheng Yanchuan's mother, so it was understandable that she favored him. In short, as long as the purpose was consistent with what she expected, it was fine.
Aunt Xiumei felt a pang in her heart when she saw Nanqiao's indifferent expression. Although Nanqiao said that he would not mention the past and seemed to have accepted her apology, she also knew clearly that some things could not be undone...
"Mom, let's eat." Hui Ping looked at the two people with an embarrassed look on her face. Her mother-in-law was coming today, and she hoped that she could come to ease the relationship at home, but she also felt that things were not so easy to solve. Looking at the state of the two people at this time, Hui Ping curled her lips. It was just as she expected. However, she had apologized, and it was no longer the state of silence as before. She felt that it was okay.
"Well, let's eat." Aunt Xiumei ate the rice in the bowl as if chewing wax, and chatted with her from time to time.
Aunt Xiumei wanted to mention the confinement care many times, but she didn't know how to say it when the words came to her lips. Last time when Nanqiao was pregnant, she took care of Huiping and ignored Nanqiao. In the end, she felt a little sorry, so when Nanqiao was pregnant this time, she planned to take care of Nanqiao. But no matter whether it was the previous conflicts or the nanny in this family, it seemed that she couldn't even do these things now...
After dinner, because Nanqiao was pregnant and needed a nap, Aunt Xiumei and the others did not stay long. They said a few words and then went home.
On the way home, Huiping looked at her mother-in-law, who looked like she was holding back so much, and asked, "Mom, do you have anything else to say?"
"Yes..." Aunt Xiumei hesitated for a while before asking, "Huiping, what do you think of your mother taking care of Nanqiao during her confinement?"
"Forget it..." Huiping didn't expect her mother-in-law to be thinking about this matter, and she refused with a reluctant look on her face.
"Why say goodbye? I'm her mother-in-law, and I can't even take care of her during the confinement period?" Aunt Xiumei hadn't even said it to Nanqiao yet, but now Huiping rejected her just as she started. She felt a little embarrassed and her face suddenly darkened.
"Mom, look at you. You're acting like a mother-in-law right after we've said a few words. If you go, it will only cause trouble for both of you. Besides, Nanqiao's family has Aunt Zhou, Wang Hong, Li Yan and others. They take care of everything from meals to daily life. What can you do if you go? Right now, those people all listen to Nanqiao. They will raise the children the way Nanqiao says. If you go and disagree with Nanqiao, who will you listen to? That will cause another conflict. So, you'd better stay at home and go to Nanqiao from time to time to show your regards."
Hui Ping persuaded earnestly. She could understand why her mother-in-law brought up this matter when their relationship had not yet been completely reconciled, but she felt it was unnecessary. Some things were useless to make up for afterwards.
In fact, what she wanted to say more was that she didn't take care of Nanqiao during the first pregnancy, which was so important. There was no need to make up for this one, and she couldn't make up for it. But she couldn't say that. Her mother-in-law didn't take care of Nanqiao during the first pregnancy because of her, even though her mother-in-law didn't do anything for her at that time.
Huiping actually had complaints about her mother-in-law. She said outside that she had to take care of her after-birth, so she didn't go to take care of Nanqiao. Although her parents' family was not very supportive, Nanqiao's parents' family was not local either.
As for the so-called confinement care, it was just serving her meals in the first few days. Huiping did a lot of work like washing diapers and cleaning the baby. She didn't do much, but she got a lot of complaints. Every time someone talked to her about this over the years, she felt uncomfortable.
So, those reasons that sound good to outsiders are actually only clear to the parties involved.
After hearing Huiping's words, Aunt Xiumei didn't say a word. These were all facts, and she knew them very well. She just wanted to do something, but the feeling of powerlessness in her heart made her feel uncomfortable.
On the other side, after Nanqiao saw Aunt Xiumei off, he strolled in the yard with Aunt Zhou's help to digest his food.
"You and your mother-in-law, are you okay now?" Aunt Zhou helped Nanqiao walk and saw that she was in a good mood, so she asked
"I guess so. It's nothing serious. It's good that everyone is in peace." Nanqiao shrugged helplessly.
"We are all family, we will have to be together in the future, it is good if we can live in peace"
"Yeah, I just don't know how long it will take. I don't think she really realizes the problem with this matter." Nanqiao walked slowly, waving away the hanging branches.
"Ah," Aunt Zhou sighed slightly. She had heard a lot about the Sheng family in the past few years. She and Aunt Xiumei were about the same age, so she could understand her thoughts to some extent. But she was hired by Nanqiao, so whether she could understand it or not, she had to stand on Nanqiao's side. She did not comment on Aunt Xiumei's behavior.
"Aunt Zhou, don't worry about it. We've been living pretty well for the past six months." Nanqiao gently patted Aunt Zhou's hand to comfort her.
"I'm just worried about you. Your mother asked me the other day if you were angry with your mother-in-law."
"Ah? My mother asked you? What did you say?" Nan Qiao just found out about this and didn't care about strolling anymore. She held Aunt Zhou's hand tighter. They had conflicts but she didn't want this matter to be brought to her parents and brother.
