After the older sister left with Old Lady Wei and Wei Yanhong, Old Guo glared at Old Shang: "How could you let your sister go out with those two? They're either trying to trick her into talking or trying to coax her to side with them."
Old Shang stroked his beard and chuckled, "Don't worry. That little girl is shrewd. Come on, let's tidy up the vegetable garden."
On the other side, the older sister casually pointed to a house. "Grandma, let's go visit them."
"OK."
Zhang Hongmei was washing clothes in the yard. Grandma Wei and Wei Hongyan led her sister and Old Wolf in.
Grandma Wei has been here for several years. She knows everyone in the residential area. "Hongmei, are you doing laundry?"
Zhang Hongmei used to think Old Mrs. Wei was quite nice. Now… Zhang Hongmei didn't want to talk to Old Mrs. Wei. But since she was a guest, she said, "Hmm."
The older sister led the old wolf to Zhang Hongmei's side. "Hello, Auntie."
"Hello. Whose child are you..." Zhang Hongmei was about to ask her sister, "Whose child are you?" But before she could finish, she saw the old wolf. "Oh dear! Child, is that a wolf or a dog you've brought?"
"Wolfhound." The older sister patted the old wolf's neck. "Lie down."
The old wolf obediently lay down at his sister's feet.
Zhang Hongmei breathed a sigh of relief seeing how obedient the old wolf was. "Girl, your dog really looks like a wolf."
The older sister smiled. "That's what everyone says."
Zhang Hongmei didn't want to talk to Old Mrs. Wei and Wei Yanhong. But the two grown women were standing there. She couldn't just pretend she didn't see them. "Yanhong, there are stools inside."
Wei Yanhong: "Then I'll go move two."
"Hmm." Zhang Hongmei looked at her sister and asked, "Whose child are you?"
"Han Bin's family."
"Han...you're Commander Han's child?"
"Um."
"Then..." Zhang Hongmei wanted to say: Then why are you with those two? But with Grandma Wei and Wei Yanhong standing right there, Zhang Hongmei certainly couldn't ask. "Then where's your mother? Why don't you bring your mother along when you visit neighbors?"
"My mother hasn't arrived yet."
When Zhang Hongmei saw Wei Yanhong come out of the house carrying two stools, she deliberately asked, "When is your mother coming?"
"have no idea."
Wei Yanhong first gave Grandma Wei a stool. Then she gave her sister one.
After sitting down, the older sister thanked Wei Yanhong. Then, she said to Zhang Hongmei, "Auntie, my Aunt Yanhong is so kind."
"Huh?" Zhang Hongmei looked at Wei Yanhong and then at her sister. She thought to herself: This woman is quite something. She's managed to win over someone else's daughter so quickly.
"Really," the older sister continued. "I'm not lying to you. Grandpa Guo said that Grandma Wei and Aunt Yanhong are very kind-hearted. They come to our house every day to help us with chores. Just now, Grandma Wei even asked Aunt Yanhong to sweep our yard. Aunt Yanhong swept the yard so clean."
The older sister looked at Zhang Hongmei and asked, "Auntie, do you need your yard swept?"
"Huh?" Zhang Hongmei looked at her sister and thought: Could this girl be trying to get Wei Yanhong to sweep her yard?
The older sister looked at Grandma Wei and said, "Grandma, don't you like having Aunt Yanhong sweep other people's yards? Then why don't you have Aunt Yanhong sweep this aunt's yard too?"
Grandma Wei choked for a moment. "This...you..." Grandma Wei wanted to say that your aunt's yard was quite clean and didn't need sweeping.
But before she could finish speaking, her older sister opened her eyes wide and asked, "Grandma, you're not just going to have Aunt Yanhong sweep our yard, are you?"
Zhang Hongmei thought to herself: Isn't she just asking her daughter to sweep your yard?
Grandma Wei: "Your mother didn't come. That's why I asked Aunt Yanhong to sweep your yard."
“But…” the older sister blinked, “But my Grandpa Guo and my Grandpa Shang both sweep the yard.”
“These…they are men. Men can’t sweep the yard.”
"But my family's yard was swept by my dad, my brothers and my younger brother."
Grandma Wei's eyes lit up when she heard this. "Your mother doesn't even sweep the yard?"
"Yes. My dad doesn't let my mom sweep the yard."
Grandma Wei frowned. "Your father won't allow it?"
"Um."
Why?
"have no idea."
"So... what does your mother usually do at home?"
"Disciplining children."
"Control...control the children?"
"Um."
"Does taking care of children count as a job?"
"Um."
Zhang Hongmei listened with envy. "Girl, does your father never let your mother do any chores?"
"Um."
Zhang Hongmei exclaimed, "Your mother is so lucky." Commander Han is both capable and dotes on his wife. Anyone who marries him is truly blessed.
The older sister smiled. "My dad says he's the luckiest in our family."
Zhang Hongmei: "Your father was lucky. He not only survived a hail of bullets, but also became a division commander."
"Yes. My dad also said that the luckiest thing he ever did in his life was marrying my mom."
Zhang Hongmei glanced at Old Mrs. Wei and Wei Yanhong. Old Mrs. Wei's face was a little dark. Wei Yanhong had her head down, seemingly lost in thought. "Your father is so good to your mother. Do they never argue?"
"Yes. My dad is very obedient. He does whatever my mom says."
Grandma Wei pursed her lips. "Little girl, did your mother tell you to say that?"
"No. Grandma, my dad and grandpa really do sweep our yard. My mom and I never sweep it. Aunt Yanhong, you don't need to sweep our yard or cook for us when you visit us in the future."
The older sister counted on her fingers: "Grandpa Guo, my dad, my brother Naonao, my brother Tengteng, my brother Zuozuo, my brother Youyou, me, my younger brother. We can all cook. Grandma Wei, Aunt Yanhong, you don't need to cook for us when you visit. There are eight people in my family who can cook."
Zhang Hongmei glanced at Old Mrs. Wei and Wei Yanhong, thinking to herself: Let's see what excuse you'll have left to keep running to their house every day.
Grandma Wei gritted her teeth: "How can a man go into the kitchen? Your mother is really something."
Wei Yanhong looked at her sister and asked, "You didn't mention your mother just now, so... does your mother not know how to cook?"
The older sister smiled. "My mother's cooking is delicious." Although her mother only knew how to roast wild game, even Grandpa Guo said it was delicious. "But my father doesn't let my mother cook."
Wei Yanhong: "Why?"
The older sister looked at Wei Yanhong and said, "My dad said that my mom has already worked very hard taking care of the six of us. We can do things like sweeping the yard, cooking, and washing clothes."
Zhang Hongmei was incredibly envious. "Your dad is so good to your mom."
Sister: "Mmm."
Grandma Wei remembered Han Bin saying that Xiaoman could kill a wild boar with one slap. "Does your mother often beat your father?"
"My father is so good to my mother, so my mother would never have the heart to hit him."
Grandma Wei frowned. "Girl, did your father tell you to say that?"
"No." The older sister looked at Wei Yanhong. "Grandma, I want to go home."
Wei Yanhong: "Then let's go."
Sister: "Okay." The sister stood up, moved the stool she was sitting on, and put it under the eaves. "Auntie, I'm going home now. Auntie, when my mother comes, I'll invite you to my house to play."
"Okay." Zhang Hongmei glanced at Wei Yanhong: "When your mother arrives, Auntie will visit your house again."
After leaving Zhang Hongmei's house, the older sister looked at Grandma Wei and Wei Yanhong and said, "I'm going home now, you should go home too. Goodbye."
After saying that, the older sister left with the old wolf.
Grandma Wei wanted to follow, but Wei Yanhong pulled her back, saying, "Mother, maybe... maybe we should just forget about it."
