In fact, Li Ruiying was not angry at her daughter-in-law. She was just a confused woman, but not a bad person. What made her even more angry was her trouble-making mother. When she was not here, the Su family was harmonious and the children were filial.
Since she came to the county town, she hasn't taken good care of her grandchildren. Instead, her son keeps complaining about not wanting to go home. Her daughter-in-law has become more and more unsatisfied, and even her father-in-law can't find himself. The family is not happy when they have the reunion dinner.
Su Li said, "Mom, there is actually something I didn't tell you. Fifth brother also has shares in the cannery. He came to me privately a while ago. He really wanted to do it, but his fifth sister-in-law and her mother kept making trouble, so he gave up. However, he has been helping the cannery all the time, but he didn't want to tell her about this. He doesn't own much, only 10%. I heard from my fifth brother that his fifth sister-in-law often gave money to mother. If her family are all good people, it would be good to help her out."
"What? You're still giving him shares. What are you giving him? Just tell him to get lost. You're a useless piece of shit. You don't have any courage at all."
"Mom, my brother doesn't want the family to be in turmoil all the time. It's better to have less trouble than more."
"Hmph! You give this good thing to your fifth brother. The money he makes will have to support Wu Yanhong's family. I heard that her family is not easy to get along with. Her sister-in-law is very mean and sarcastic. The two brothers are like your fifth brother's father-in-law. They have been bullied by her mother-in-law since they were young. They dare not even brag. If your fifth brother makes money, they will suck blood from him."
Su Li smiled and said, "How can mother say that you are so strict? I have met the two brothers of the Wu family. They are both honest people, not unreasonable. The sister-in-law of the Wu family is a little bit more powerful, but it is because the eldest brother of the Wu family is too honest. If she is not more powerful, her life will be difficult. In short, it is all because the fifth brother's brother-in-law is ignorant. In addition, the money that the fifth brother earns is directly deposited into his passbook by the third brother, and it will be left to Xiaogang and Xiaoya in the future. He keeps some of the salary for himself, and the rest will be given to his sister-in-law. Don't be angry, mother, your sister-in-law will understand."
"Let's hope so. We still have to live our lives and our two children are still young. What's the point of getting divorced?"
"Look, mother said, don't be angry, go and look at your grandson and granddaughter, I will cook."
"Come on, come on!"
Li Ruiying thought about the adorable looks of her grandson and granddaughter, and her temper subsided a little.
Su Li looked at her mother and shook her head helplessly. They were all her children. Even if she couldn't treat them equally, she wanted to see every one of them live a good life.
In the past, the fifth brother's family lived the best, so her family would love the children of her brothers more. Now that her brothers are doing well, she and her father often send the vegetables and grain they grow to the county town to send to the fifth brother's family, and give them some money from time to time.
Although the money was not much, it was their thoughtful gesture. Su Li could understand Fifth Sister-in-law's mentality, but she could not be deeply moved. After all, the ones who were sad were her parents. How could she bear to see her make such a fuss?
Su Li thought that if she didn't say anything, she would let Wu Yanhong open her own shop. Out of sight, out of mind, she could do whatever she wanted.
Thinking of this, Su Li returned to the kitchen, took out a big pot of beef ramen and put it in the pot. On the other stove, Su Li stewed some milk gelatin.
Su Li brought three large bowls of noodles and two plates of side dishes into the living room.
"Mom, Aunt Xu is here to eat."
"Hush, keep your voice down, the children are all asleep." Aunt Xu came out quietly.
"Okay, Auntie, eat first. I stewed some tonic food for you all to eat in the afternoon."
Aunt Xu felt a little embarrassed. She just took care of the children and sometimes cleaned the house when she couldn't sit still. Xiao Su was too good to her. Not only did he prepare fruits for her from time to time, but he also brought her all the delicious food he cooked.
"How can I be so embarrassed, Xiao Su, you don't have to take me with you wherever you go, just eat with your mother."
Su Li picked up a piece of food for Aunt Xu and said, "It's okay, Auntie. You've taken good care of the children, helped with the house cleaning, and helped take care of the small vegetable garden in the yard. Don't mind if it's just a little food."
"Hey! Hey! Good."
"Here, Auntie, this is my mother-in-law's sun-dried bean paste, with sesame oil added. It's delicious. It's also delicious if you put some in noodles."
"Hey, you eat too, Xiao Su. Hey, Xiao Su, your cooking skills are so good. The soup tastes rich without the chili pepper. It tastes even better with the chili pepper."
"Please eat more. There's more in the stove."
"That's enough. That's enough."
Aunt Xu eats quickly, and after finishing her meal, she quickly replaced Li Ruiying.
"Mom, I've ground five cans of rice flour. I'll teach you and Aunt Xu how to make it for the children."
"What rice noodles? Just make some rice soup. They can eat it with the noodle soup. Besides, you are too meticulous. You are so young. I started feeding you rice and soup when you were little."
"Mom, what you said is old news. It's not popular nowadays. Just listen to me."
"Hey, hey, hey, as long as it's good for the children."
The children woke up after sleeping for about an hour. Su Li made some rice noodles for them. When they first started to eat, they frowned after the first bite. Then it was as if they had opened the door to a new world and began to open their mouths waiting to eat, as if they were waiting to be fed by little swallows.
Su Li and Li Ruiying, Aunt Xu laughed so hard just by looking at them, they are so adorable.
"Look, these little darlings of ours are so cute. They are really grandma's sweethearts!"
"That's right. I also raised so many grandchildren in my family, but I don't have three children to take care of."
Su Li smiled but said nothing. The grandchildren of these two old people have grown up, and they always feel soft-hearted when they see the children now.
In the evening, Xie Zhengchuan took the children home. Xuzhou also came to pick up Aunt Xu. Su Li had cooked a lot of food, so she called them to come and eat.
Aunt Xu was unwilling to do so. She felt already very embarrassed to be fed every day, so how could she take her son to have dinner again?
Su Li saw that he couldn't keep the person, so he took a bag of apples and a bag of oranges and handed them to Guo.
"Take it and eat it, ma'am."
"Don't give it to me. Auntie doesn't want it. Keep it for yourself."
Li Ruiying held Jingyu next to her and said, "Sister Xu, just take it and bring it home to feed the child."
Aunt Xu was a little embarrassed. Xie Zhengchuan took the fruit from Su Li's hand and handed it to Xu Zhou.
"Put the fruit in the front of your car, don't let your mother have to carry it. If you don't want to stay here for dinner, then go home early!"
"Thank you, Master. Sister-in-law, I'll take my mother back home now and send it over tomorrow!"
"Okay, ride slowly on the road and be safe!"
