Lu Yang woke up after sleeping for a few hours. He heard voices outside and thought his mother-in-law had returned. He got dressed and went outside, but there was no one in the house until he opened the door.
"Oh, Xiao Lu, get up! I heard you drove all the way back. You must be tired."
"Where's Xiaoqing? Why isn't she up yet?"
Before he could react, everyone pushed past him and went into the house. Song Qing heard the noise, got dressed, and came out.
Seeing so many people looking up at her with warm smiles and eager eyes, she was bewildered. She turned her head and looked around to make sure she was at home.
The two sisters-in-law also heard that their sister-in-law had returned with a lot of things, so they took their children and rushed back to their mother-in-law's house. However, the house was crowded with people, and they had to push through the crowd.
"What are you doing? Our house isn't a supply and marketing cooperative. Why are you queuing here? Xiaoqing has been driving all day and needs to rest right now. Hurry up and leave, don't disturb her."
"That's right, that's right, why don't I see you guys coming here usually?"
"What are you saying? Xiaoqing has finally come back for a visit, what's wrong with me coming to see her at home?"
Lu Yang rubbed his temples and walked to her side.
Song Qing: "What's going on? I thought I went to the wrong door?"
Lu Yang pointed to the fabric casually placed on the sofa, saying, "Take it down." He added that he hadn't had time to tidy up the house yet.
"..."
Everyone noticed the fabric and was about to reach out and pull out a piece to take a look when the two women quickly grabbed the fabric and headed towards the house.
The things my sister-in-law brought back were definitely meant for our family, but they're really shameless to even offer them.
Tian Qiaozhu returned at this time. Most of the people in the house were her longtime neighbors, and she couldn't bring herself to kick them out.
"The child just got back, so he needs to rest more."
"Qiaozhu, we don't want to bother the two children, but we heard you have a lot of fabric. Could you spare some for us?"
Seeing her mother return, Song Qing greeted the people outside and quickly led Lu Yang back to their room.
"My mom must have gone out and shown off to people." Somewhat amused and exasperated, so many people had gathered around in just one morning; anyone who didn't know better would have thought she had brought back a whole truckload.
Tian Qiaozhu choked up. She just wanted to show off to these people, but she didn't have enough fabric to give them.
"Alright, alright, there really isn't much. If there were any extra, I would definitely share it with you."
Everyone turned to look at the cloth bags his two wives were holding.
"Don't look at me, some of these are to be sent to my niece, one for each of them, and only a little is left for me."
The two daughters-in-law were initially unhappy when they heard that their mother-in-law was going to send the fabric to her niece, but when they heard that they would also receive a share, they immediately beamed with joy.
These are their things; get the neighbors out of here immediately.
Tian Qiaozhu distributed the fabrics to them, and the two of them sat on the sofa, already secretly planning what they were going to do.
"It's all thanks to Xiaoqing who cares about you all. If it were me, I wouldn't be willing to give you so much."
Even if you take the benefits, you still have to remember the kindness shown to her daughter.
The two daughters-in-law secretly thought about how stingy their mother-in-law was; they knew it all too well. Luckily, their sister-in-law was generous.
"Thanks to Xiaoqing for thinking about her family. I have a few cans of meat. I'll bring them over later so you can take them back to An'an."
"I also have a few packages of pastries and a lot of dried vegetables. I'll bring them over for you later."

Tian Qiaozhu's house was bustling with activity. He Shuyue returned home at noon as usual, but she walked particularly fast today, not wanting anyone to see her face.
As soon as I got home, I saw that Lu Weiguo had already returned.
"Why are you so early today?"
While talking and putting things down, Lu Weiguo sat on the sofa and let out a long sigh.
"Did you know your son is back?"
"What? When did you get back? In your room?" She looked around the living room but didn't see him, so she headed towards his room.
"At the Song family's residence."
"What are they going there for? They're not coming back to settle scores with those two old men from the Song family, are they? Their daughter..."
Lu Weiguo interrupted sharply, "He came back with Song Qing; they returned early this morning."
"How could that be?" He Shuyue didn't quite believe it. Her son was staying at the garrison, and Song Qing was with that boy from the Chen family.
"Everyone else knows, except for us two parents. It's all your fault."
Our son was already blaming us for what happened before, and you're still spreading rumors outside. There's nothing between them at all, otherwise why would our son and daughter-in-law come back together?
Now look what's happened! You've pushed them further and further apart. What do you think your son will do when he finds out that you, his mother, are telling others that he's been cheated on?
Lu Weiguo was already exhausted; after all, the family had long since fallen apart.
The daughter hates them, and the daughter-in-law treats them like strangers.
"Haven't you made enough of a scene already?"
"...I..." He Shuyue was speechless for a long time. "They came back together? Why would my son go to see her? Where is that Chen boy?"
Why are you still asking these questions?
After Lu Weiguo finished speaking, he went into the study with a cold face. He Shuyue sat on the sofa and was stunned for a long time. No wonder someone stopped her today and asked her where her son was. Maybe those people were laughing at her in their hearts, that even her son was becoming estranged from her.
Yesterday, Tian Qiaozhu even went to her door to beat her up; today, she's probably secretly overjoyed.
The son she raised with her own hands has been coaxed by Tian Qiaozhu's daughter and is now practically treated as the son of the Song family.
Yes, he must have been coaxed by Song Qing. There must be something between her and that Chen guy. It's just that his son is confused and he forgot everything after being coaxed by her.

At the Song family home, both of Song Qing's sisters-in-law had smiles on their faces as they pulled Song Qing to the sofa to chat.
Suddenly, he sighed as they were talking.
"Just a few days ago there were rumors about you and..."
The second sister-in-law quickly pinched the eldest sister-in-law.
"It's okay, it's all a misunderstanding."
What's being said outside?
The two sisters-in-law originally wanted to brush the matter off with a laugh, but Lu Yang overheard them.
Everyone was a bit annoyed with him, and after he asked them that, they couldn't hide it from him anymore.
"It's all because of those people spreading rumors that Xiaoqing went to another place and that you two are separated."
The two nervously considered their words, as it wouldn't be appropriate to mention the Chen family's son in front of him.
"Yes, yes, you're separated. They think you're separated and your relationship isn't good, so they spread rumors. Don't take it to heart."
If I hear them again, I'll definitely yell back at them.
Lu Yang frowned, as if he had suddenly thought of something.
"Sisters-in-law, please speak your minds. I'd also like to hear what's being said outside."
Seeing that the couple didn't seem to care, the two of them recounted the outrageous rumors that had been circulating recently.
Lu Yang's face grew darker and darker as he listened, and their voices grew softer and softer. He glanced cautiously at Song Qing, wondering if he could say this.
I should have kept quiet. If my husband and sister-in-law had a falling out and it affected their relationship, my mother-in-law would definitely have torn them apart.
"That's ancient history, people outside are just gossipy."
