Li Qiuniang's biggest worry was when it was her turn to cook. Her cooking skills were mediocre, and she always made mistakes. Before she got married, she mostly helped out at home and rarely cooked for herself.
"I think it's pretty good too. I didn't expect you to be so strong. It's enviable."
When Mu Yi'an was in that other timeline, she was quite strong, which she developed by running around on mountain roads. Her original mother, however, came from a well-off family and had never experienced hardship.
"It's alright. My dad thinks it's fine, but my mom says what's the point of women having so much strength? My sister is weak and very gentle, while I'm like a tomboy. But I'm quite happy with myself. At least if Shuwen and I fight, I'll have the strength to fight back, haha..."
Li Qiuniang speaks frankly and is somewhat carefree.
“You’re right. My Chuyue is growing up and needs to exercise properly. At the very least, she shouldn’t be so weak that she can’t do anything but cry when something happens.”
"Exactly, what problem can crying solve? You could solve everything by the time you've been crying."
The two sisters-in-law were talking so much for the first time, and they both thought the other was nice and that they could get along well.
"Sister-in-law, the chicken soup needs to simmer for a while longer, and the steamed buns need to be steamed later. Let's go check on the children first."
"Okay, that's rare. My Shao Kun hasn't cried for quite a while!"
"Waaah..."
No sooner had Li Qiuniang finished speaking than Jiang Shaokun began to cry.
"Well, here we go again."
Mu Yi'an almost burst out laughing when she saw Li Qiuniang's helpless expression.
"Mom, I peed."
Jiang Shaoyun ran over and explained the situation to his mother and third aunt.
"Your little brother wet his pants, so he's crying?"
"Um."
Mu Yi'an took Shao Yun's hand and walked over. He bent down and touched the mat under Chu Yue. It wasn't wet. He quickly picked her up to pee and took Shao Yun to pee as well.
Li Qiuniang carried her smelly son back to the room and changed his pants.
"Go, go..."
Where are you going?
"elder brother……"
"Are you going to go play with your brother?"
Jiang Shaokun struggled to get down; he wanted to get out.
"Okay, from now on you can play with your brother, run around more, eat more, and cry less. I'll be so grateful."
Children don't understand adults' nagging; they're only focused on getting out.
Li Qiuniang took his hand and led him out of the inner room. Jiang Shaokun saw Shao Yun and ran over to him.
"Second sister-in-law, I feel like my hard times are over. After changing her clothes, the child wanted to come out and find her brother without crying anymore. If it were before, she would have cried for a while."
"The older the child, the easier he is to take care of. As for Shuwen, let him go and ask about ewes, preferably those that have just given birth."
“He went to see some friends. He’ll be back soon. After lunch, let him go and ask around. If he has time this afternoon, he can build a sheep pen. They can’t live with the donkeys.”
Mu Yi'an thought it was a good idea; it would be a good opportunity to have Jiang Shuyun lend a hand, since they couldn't just be studying all the time.
The two sisters-in-law arranged tasks for their husbands without informing them of their own responsibilities.
