Immediately afterwards, Wang Juren helped Daya sit down in a chair.
Da Ya gave her husband a reproachful look.
"I'm not that delicate. Alright, stop being so mushy and go to the kitchen to help Mom cook."
Just as Wang was about to leave, Er Ya grabbed his sleeve.
"Sister, you're really being a bit insensible!"
My brother-in-law is a scholar; there's no reason for him to go into the kitchen. "I'll go, I'll go. You guys stay here and have your chat."
Wang Juren pulled his sleeve out of Er Ya's hand.
"We're all from farming families, so there aren't many formalities. You're a guest, so stay here and have a good chat with your sister."
After saying that, he fled as if he were running away.
Da Ya had a feeling she couldn't quite put her finger on, and it seemed that her younger sister, whom she hadn't seen for some time, had become affected and pretentious in her speech.
After Wang Juren left, Er Ya also stopped smiling.
Looking at her older sister, she said sourly, "Sister, you have to admit, your husband is really good to you!"
Hearing this, Da Ya felt a little uneasy. What kind of life was her younger sister living over there?
Her husband only asked her a few words of concern, and her younger sister is so envious. Sigh.
"If you divorce the Liu family, come and stay with me!"
"I'll go to the Princess's residence and ask the old lady to choose another husband for you. What do you think?"
Da Ya knew in her heart that if she were to plead with the old lady again for her younger sister's sake...
The old lady will surely help me out of consideration for our past relationship, but that will be the end of it.
But for the sake of his younger sister, he had no choice but to swallow his pride and go back to the Princess's Mansion to beg the old lady.
The two chatted idly until dinner was served, at which point they both stopped their awkward conversation.
"How about trying this bamboo shoot?"
As she spoke, Madam Wang picked up a piece of bamboo shoot with her chopsticks and put it into Er Ya's bowl.
Then he picked up another chicken leg and put it in Er Ya's bowl, and gave the other chicken leg to Daya.
Er Ya looked at the old lady in shock. If it were just a guest like her, it would be fine.
How could I give the other chicken leg to Daya? After all, my son is still sitting here. Shouldn't I give it to my son first?
"Grandma Wang's brother-in-law is a scholar, so these things should be given to him first."
After saying this, he put the chicken leg from his bowl into Wang Juren's bowl.
Grandma Wang frowned as she looked at Er Ya's gaze toward her son.
As someone who's been through it all, she could easily see through the intricacies of the situation; only her own daughter-in-law was so naive.
Thinking that it was his own younger sister who was going to stay overnight for a few more nights, he was afraid that a lot of trouble would arise.
This young girl doesn't look very old, but she's full of clever ideas.
Looking at the chicken leg in the bowl, Wang Juren was at a loss for what to do.
Upon seeing this, Old Lady Wang quickly put the chicken leg from her son's bowl back into Er Ya's bowl.
"Girl, this is the rule in our family. Men should endure more hardship so that they can become the pillars of the family in the future."
Women are meant to be pampered; you're a guest, so hurry up and eat!"
Hearing what Old Lady Wang said, Er Ya felt an overwhelming sense of sorrow.
If she could go back to before she got married, she would definitely not marry Liu Yu, but would listen to the old lady and marry into such a good family.
Daya nodded in agreement, "Sister, you eat quickly, don't worry about him."
"Okay, sure."
After dinner, Grandma Wang tidied up a room for Er Ya to stay in.
At this time, Old Man Wang also returned.
"You're back. There's still some food warming up on the stove. Go and have a bite."
Old Wang nodded.
Turning around, she saw the little girl holding a wooden basin. Looking at her own wife, she asked, "Who is this?"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, this is my daughter-in-law's younger sister who's here to stay for a couple of days."
Hearing this, Old Wang stopped talking and went to the stove to casually eat a couple of bites of the food that had been left for him.
Old Wang washes dishes at a restaurant; it's a temporary job, but the pay is decent.
Normally, people eat at this time while they're working, but the owner of that restaurant is a bit stingy.
Basically, each person gets a steamed bun, and several people share two dishes of vegetables.
I also felt that it was not easy to find work in the capital. That restaurant was doing well, so there was a lot of work, and the wages were quite good.
The only downside was that the owner was extremely stingy with the food for everyone.
Da Ya had already finished washing up and was lying in her room when Er Ya took the wooden basin and the clothes her older sister had given her to wash up.
The washroom happened to be very close to the outhouse, and from a distance, carrying a wooden basin, I saw Scholar Wang coming out of the outhouse after he had finished using it.
Er Ya deliberately quickened her pace and lowered her head, bumping into Wang Juren's arms.
Startled by the sudden turn of events, Wang Juren took a step back.
Er Ya fell to the ground.
In his heart, he cursed Wang, the scholar, for being so bookish that he had become stupid and didn't even know how to take advantage of others.
They've practically handed it to me, and I didn't even catch it.
She had originally planned to throw herself into Wang Juren's arms, hoping to rub against him, but who knew he would back away so quickly.
"Are you alright? I'm so sorry, I was in a rush and didn't see you."
Wang Juren was at a loss. He wanted to go forward and help Er Ya up, but then he remembered that he was a man.
Because of the difference between men and women, he eventually withdrew his outstretched hand.
Er Ya stood there stunned for a while, then, realizing that Wang Juren had no intention of helping her up, she angrily got up from the ground.
"It's alright, brother-in-law, it's getting late, you should get some rest!"
Then she took the wooden basin from the ground to the washroom to wash up.
She was still thinking about the tender look in Wang Juren's eyes when he looked at her older sister, but he kept her at arm's length.
Why isn't such a good person my husband? He's not only good at studying, but more importantly, he doesn't philander.
He only wanted to stay with his wife and live a simple life, so why should all of this belong to him?
Just then, Er Ya suddenly thought about what would happen if something went wrong during her sister's childbirth.
As the only younger sister of her older sister, and not doing well herself, if she could be with Scholar Wang...
Er Ya was suddenly startled by the thought in her mind, and her whole body shuddered.
Daya is my older sister, how could I have such thoughts?
Liu Mansion
Ever since Liu Yu returned and explained the situation to Old Madam Liu, Old Madam Liu has been waiting for Er Ya to return, intending to give her a good scolding.
I waited and waited, and it's already this late, but Er Ya still hasn't come back.
"That little brat is still not back this late. I wonder where she's off gallivanting off to. If she's so capable, then she should never come back."
