[Chapter 174 Chapter 174 Watching the Birth of a Baby]
"Xiao Mei, come back and cook. Whatever you want to say, come back!"
Just as the two were talking animatedly, a voice sounded above their heads.
Shen Yuyao looked up and saw that a window on the second floor was open. An old lady in a black cotton jacket with a half-front collar was standing in the window and shouting at them.
Perhaps feeling Shen Yuyao's gaze, the old lady looked at her with a cold look, looking like someone who was not easy to mess with.
Shen Yuyao was stunned for a moment.
She knew that this person was Chen Fei's mother, and now she was living with the couple.
But this old lady is like an invisible person and never goes out.
Not only do I not go out, I also don't interact with outsiders.
It's the kind of situation where if Chen Fei and his wife are not at home, even if you go to their house and knock on the door, the old lady won't open the door for you.
Shen Yuyao nodded subconsciously to the old lady, but the old lady ignored her and directly lowered the window.
Xiao Mei did not see the interaction between Shen Yuyao and her mother-in-law.
She looked annoyed at this moment.
She forced a smile and said to Shen Yuyao: "I'm going home first, you should go home early too."
After saying that, he waved to Shen Yuyao and went upstairs.
Shen Yuyao didn't want to ride the bike anymore, so she pushed it towards her home.
Before I even reached the door, I saw Sister Han coming out.
She greeted, "Sister Han, why are you here?"
Sister Han was holding a cardboard box in her hands, and her eyes lit up when she saw Shen Yuyao.
She walked a few steps quickly and asked, "Xiao Shen, have you seen Qiao An? Why is she not at home?"
Shen Yuyao shook her head: "I didn't see her. I just got back from get off work. Did she go out?"
Sister Han put the cardboard box in her hand on the back seat of Shen Yuyao's car, then shook her painful hands and said, "I went to the post office to send a letter today, and I happened to see a package for her, so I took it back. Oh, this package is really heavy, I was so tired carrying it all the way!"
Hearing her say this, Shen Yuyao couldn't help but turn her head to look at the address on the package and asked, "Is it sent from Beijing?"
"Yes, it should be sent from her family."
Sister Han said, holding the box with her hand, "Please leave this box at your house first. When Qiao An comes back, you can help me give it to her. I don't want to take it back to the hospital. It's too heavy."
"Okay." Shen Yuyao did not refuse.
Sister Han held the box and pushed the car into the yard with Shen Yuyao.
Looking at the bare yard with nothing planted in it, she couldn't help but laugh: "This yard has been empty for so long, why don't you plant something? It's a pity to leave such a large empty space unused."
Shen Yuyao felt a little embarrassed by what she said, and said shyly: "I don't know how to grow vegetables, and Li Yan is busy too, so I don't have time."
Sister Han didn't say much about this. She just said, "There are only two people in your family. How much vegetables can you eat? Even if you grow them, you can't eat them all. If you don't want to grow them, don't grow them. Just go to the vegetable market and buy some."
At this point, Sister Han suddenly smiled and asked quietly, "Xiao Shen, who asked you to build the fence in your backyard?"
Shen Yuyao didn't react at first when asked by Sister Han. After thinking for a while, she realized that she was referring to the small open space outside the balcony of the cottage.
There were originally two rows of small bamboo fences on both sides of the open space.
But because of the years, many of the bamboo pieces have rotted. Even those that haven't rotted are dirty and gray, which looks particularly ugly.
In addition, when Bingbing and Xiuxiu lived here before, the two children were playing outside one time. Xiuxiu fell down and pressed the bamboo fence with her hand, and several thorns were stuck in her hand.
Later, Shen Yuyao asked Cheng Liyan to find some bamboo and replace the old fence during his break.
Cheng Liyan was afraid that the fence was too low and the children would bump into it when playing, so he simply raised it to about 1.5 meters.
This way, it will not hinder the neighbors from communicating, and children will not bump into the bamboo strips while playing.
But this happened a long time ago. Shen Yuyao didn't understand why Sister Han thought of asking this?
Seeing her confusion, Sister Han waved her hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I just saw you talking to Xiao Mei just now, and I remembered it, so I asked by the way."
Shen Yuyao was even more confused. Could it be that her family's fence repair had something to do with Xiao Mei?
Shen Yuyao didn't understand, so she asked.
Sister Han then said to her, "It's not a big deal, it's just that before you moved in, Xiao Mei's mother-in-law wanted to occupy the empty space in the backyard.
I remember she had cleared the land, reportedly wanting to grow vegetables.
At that time, Chen Fei had quarreled with her about this, and even chased her here and dragged her back, saying that it was not hers and she could not use it.
As a result, the old lady was very angry, saying that since no one was living there, why should she use it first? She would not need it if someone moved in.
She even took her anger out on Xiao Mei because of this matter, saying that it was Xiao Mei who brought her son here.
The old lady was very persistent and wouldn't listen to anyone. In the end, she was able to open up the land.
Then not long after she opened the shop, you guys moved in.”
Shen Yuyao suddenly realized why the old lady looked at her with such an unfriendly look just now.
Shen Yuyao now remembered that when they first moved in, she did feel that there were signs of farming in the backyard and that a piece of land had indeed been turned over.
She also talked about it with Cheng Liyan at that time.
But neither of them took it seriously and did not ask any further questions.
I didn't expect that there was such a thing hidden behind it.
It seems that I have to endure this grievance.
After all, even if she knew the whole story, Shen Yuyao would never allow an outsider to come to her home to farm.
Even if the land is idle.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuyao recalled Xiao Mei's expression when she heard her mother-in-law calling her just now, her face full of unconcealable annoyance.
It is obvious that the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not very good.
It's understandable if you think about it. After all, this mother-in-law looks like a troublesome person.
Shen Yuyao couldn't help but add another word and asked, "Is Chen Fei's mother here to visit relatives, or will she live with them in the future?"
If they all follow her in the future, Xiao Mei's life will be very difficult.
Sister Han said, "Who can tell? Chen Fei's mother came here to watch them give birth. It is said that she will not leave until the baby is born. She will stay here and watch over them until they give birth."
Shen Yuyao: “?”
Watching a baby being born?
