Chapter 73 Second Sister-in-law
"Little sister, you've lost so much weight that you don't look like a girl from our village at all. You look more like a girl from the city.
Look at your brother-in-law's status, and he has an official title. My little sister, you are so lucky. You married such a capable man, no wonder you look down on my brother from my mother's family."
Gu Yunyi frowned. What the second sister-in-law of the Xu family said was really unpleasant to hear.
The eldest sister-in-law of the Xu family scolded directly: "How can you talk like that? Your brother's reputation is ruined. You are really a good sister."
The second sister-in-law of the Xu family was used to it and said, "Sister-in-law, what you said is wrong."
"What's wrong, second sister-in-law, do you think I'm easy to bully? Why are you being so sarcastic? Or have you forgotten something? Do you need me to help you recall it?" Xu Qingmeng said as he stepped forward.
"Ahem, um, this pastry is so delicious." He reached out and took a piece and put it in his mouth.
Xu Qingmeng rubbed his brows. This second sister-in-law is really something. She doesn't care about her own daughter first, but is here...
Sing along to one big drama after another.
Xu Qingmeng could only look at Gu Yunyi awkwardly.
Gu Yunyi squeezed her hand, and just when she was about to struggle, he leaned over and said, "It's okay, you are you! I can tell the difference."
Xu Qingmeng:...
"Come to think of it, the Xu family hasn't split up yet, so the gifts brought by my sister-in-law's family must include gifts from all three families, and there must be gifts from our second branch, right?" said the second sister-in-law of the Xu family.
"Second brother, father hasn't come back yet, what right do you have to speak?" The eldest sister-in-law of the Xu family said angrily, feeling embarrassed.
The second sister-in-law of the Xu family was not afraid of boiling water. Instead, she turned to Gu Yunyi and said, "Yunyi, don't you think so?"
Gu Yunyi smiled gently and was about to speak when Xu Qingmeng said directly, "Second sister-in-law, do you think that I am married now, or that I am too easy to talk to now, and I can't make the decision on Xu family's affairs? I buy things and I give them to whoever I want. You'd better not do anything weird, otherwise I can ask my second brother to divorce you and send you back to your parents' home at any time."
When the second sister-in-law of the Xu family heard this, her face suddenly turned ugly.
She opened her mouth as if she wanted to refute, but when she saw Xu Qingmeng's expression of keeping his word, she swallowed her words back.
How could she get so carried away with success that she forgot that her sister-in-law was not an easy person to deal with in the past.
Gu Yunyi spoke up in time, "Second sister-in-law, these are snacks for your nephew, and this bundle was bought by Xinting, so we brought it back to you on the way."
"What? This little girl has money, why doesn't she take it back? What can she buy? She's just wasting money."
Xu's second sister-in-law was very dissatisfied, but she took it quickly. Then she saw Gu Yunyi handing over two boxes of snacks. She didn't care about offending this sister-in-law, and her face changed: "Little sister, you are not kind, so many things, but you only give so little to the second sister-in-law? What are you going to do with the rest? Give them all to your eldest sister-in-law, or your third sister-in-law. They are all sisters-in-law, and our Xinting is still working hard in your family."
The eldest sister-in-law of the Xu family was about to argue with her when Xu Qingmeng gave her a look, signaling her not to interfere.
Xu Qingmeng looked at her lightly: "Second sister-in-law, the rest are for my father's health, and of course I give to my eldest sister-in-law. After all, it was my eldest sister-in-law who brought me up. You and my eldest sister-in-law came into the family at the same time, what did you do? As for my niece Xinting, she is just an ordinary helper in the Gu family. The Gu family gave her money, but my second brother said that all of it should be saved for her as a dowry, so it has nothing to do with you, so that you don't take it home to subsidize your family, what do you say, right? And if you really love her, I will send her back tomorrow. In addition, I can give the things I buy to whoever I want. Do you have anything else to say?"
As soon as Xu Qingmeng said this, the second sister-in-law of the Xu family said awkwardly: "That... that's not necessary, I didn't mean that. But I know you all dislike me, so I won't bother you anymore. I'll go back to my room first."
After saying that, the second sister-in-law of the Xu family left with snacks and a bundle.
When the person left, the eldest sister-in-law of the Xu family was angry, "Your second sister-in-law is a terrible person."
"Sister-in-law, my second sister-in-law has been like this for many years, and we're used to it. She's acting like this now that she sees I've changed. Don't be angry." Knowing that the eldest sister-in-law of the Xu family felt embarrassed in front of the guests, she comforted her.
The eldest sister-in-law of the Xu family said: "Yun Yi, right? I'm so sorry. I made a fool of myself by letting you see me."
Gu Yunyi chuckled: "No sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law is quite...quite lively."
Not long after, Old Man Xu also came back.
As soon as Xu Yongfu and his three sons came back, the house became lively again.
My third sister-in-law is said to have gone to town to buy things and will probably not be back until lunchtime.
The entire town of Xujia Village is not big. The town is actually located at the foot of the mountain. It just happens to be in the opposite direction of Yan County, so the carriage route for Xu Qingmeng and his party is inconvenient.
But it’s still very close from the village.
When Old Man Xu saw his daughter and son-in-law coming, he was so happy.
Xu Yongfu's face was full of smiles, his eyes narrowed into slits, he held Xu Qingmeng's hand and looked left and right, "My girl, I finally got you back. Why do you look a lot thinner? Have you been wronged?"
Xu Qingmeng felt warm in his heart and replied with a smile: "Dad, don't worry, no, he might be busy with things in the shop."
Gu Yunyi also nodded in agreement, "Father-in-law, Meng Niang feels as comfortable in the Gu family as in her own home. I will definitely take good care of her."
Xu Yongfu nodded with satisfaction, "That's good, that's good."
I was in a hurry last time I went there and came back in a hurry, so I didn’t talk much with my son-in-law. This time I must have a good chat with him.
Seeing that it was almost lunch time, the eldest sister-in-law of the Xu family got up to cook.
Xu Qing saw this in his dream and quickly got up to help.
Xu Yongfu said, "Nannan, please sit down and don't work too hard. Just let your sister-in-law go. Xinwan, go and help your mother light the fire."
"Ai."
Xu Qingmeng smiled and said, "Don't be tired, Dad. I'm a pretty good cook. You tried my cooking last time, but my sister-in-law hadn't eaten it yet."
The second brother of the Xu family thought of the meal his youngest sister cooked last time and swallowed imperceptibly.
Ever since Xu Yongfu had eaten there, he would have liked to go to his daughter's house for meals every day, if it weren't too far away.
Seeing his son looking at him, the old man finally gave in.
My sister-in-law also changed from being the chef to doing odd jobs.
Xu Qing took out the ingredients he had brought early in the morning. Seeing the beef, pork, and a bunch of pig lungs, Xinwan, who was stoking the fire, was stunned. The sister-in-law kept muttering that it was too expensive and told him not to take these things next time as they would not be able to finish them. Then she turned around and went outside to kill a chicken.
Xu Qingmeng knew that her sister-in-law was still somewhat concerned about her reputation. After all, it was the first time that her brother-in-law came to visit, and they had brought all the dishes themselves. She was afraid of being disliked, and also afraid of losing face if Xu Qingmeng called her, so she was willing to kill the precious chicken that laid eggs.
