When Mingyue was sent back to Zhou's house by two kind villagers, her family had already prepared food and was waiting for her.
"Why are you back so late?" Liu Hui muttered casually when she heard some noise at the door, and she couldn't help but stand up and go out to greet the people.
When she saw that there were two villagers following Mingyue, her heart suddenly skipped a beat and she couldn't help but quicken her pace.
Before she even got close, Mingyue heard a slightly anxious voice: "What happened? Did you fall on the mountain? You kid, I told you to rest at home, but you didn't listen. Where did you fall?"
When the people in the room heard her words, how could they sit still
The family, who had been seated waiting to eat, walked towards the door with anxious looks on their faces.
Mingyue thanked the two villagers and invited them to stay for lunch, but was quickly rejected by the villagers.
The villagers were also sensible. They knew that what happened today was urgent, so Mingyue's family only prepared meals for their own family. Moreover, they would definitely have to sort out the affairs of the He family. How could outsiders like them stay
"Those kids are very wild. You should have a good talk with your family about what happened today. You must not let them take advantage of you."
"That's right, you must not be soft-hearted. Those cubs are really not good people. They are just ungrateful wolves who have never been raised well. Being soft-hearted will only hurt you again."
Mingyue nodded to show that she understood and thanked them again.
"Then we'll go back first. Your sister-in-law Zou should be ready to eat."
"Yeah, the meal should be ready at my house, so let's go now."
After the two villagers put down Mingyue's "wild vegetables", they kindly gave her a few instructions. After listening to Mingyue's words, they smiled at Liu Hui before leaving.
Liu Hui's whole mind was on her daughter, and she didn't really notice the expressions of the villagers.
Before Mingyue went out, she told Zhou Ersao that she was going up the mountain to pick turtledove leaves and make a fresh dish.
Later, Zhou Ersao became so sleepy from sewing that she just lay down on the bed and fell asleep. She had always been a deep sleeper, and her and Zhou Erming's room was the innermost one, so she didn't hear any movement at the door, and naturally she didn't know the He family had arrived.
When the Zhou family came back and found Mingyue was missing, Zhou Ersao explained that Mingyue had gone up the mountain, and no one took it seriously.
The family members cooked and helped, but they didn’t expect that they would have to wait until now.
Old Zhou strode up to Mingyue and asked with a stern face, "Where did you fall?"
Liu Hui had already started touching Mingyue here and pinching her there.
The other members of the Zhou family also looked at her with concern, fearing that she would get hurt from the fall, but they forgot that if she was really hurt, she would not be able to stand properly. It can only be said that they were too concerned.
Mingyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment, and could only say helplessly: "Mom, Dad, I'm not hurt, let's go inside and talk."
Hearing that Mingyue was not injured, Old Man Zhou's expression eased. He turned his back and coughed twice: "Come on, come on, let's go inside and eat. Let's talk while we eat. The food is getting cold."
Liu Hui picked up a bunch of wild vegetables on the ground and neatly put them in the dustpan in the kitchen. She asked Mingyue to wash her hands, and then the mother and daughter sat down. Mingyue had no intention of hiding what happened today. She only covered up the "good things" she had done, and picked and chose to make up a set of words.
According to her explanation, it was the five children of the He family who came to her house, and she was unwilling to let them in, so she simply went straight to the mountain. They followed her up the mountain without giving up, and refused to leave even though she picked wild vegetables to delay time. They also kept persuading her to support them.
She had no choice but to go down the mountain. After going down the mountain, she walked towards where the villagers were working. She originally wanted to find her parents, but unexpectedly she met the villagers. She didn't expect that the He family suddenly had a lot of small bumps on their bodies, and then there was the farce of the He family pretending to be pitiful.
Finally, with the help of the villagers, she returned home, and the He family should have also returned to Dagou Village.
After hearing the whole story, Old Man Zhou slammed his bowl on the table and roared, "The little beast from the He family is really going too far."
Everyone else was startled by his movement, and Zhou Ersao even touched her belly subconsciously.
Seeing this, Liu Hui glared at Old Man Zhou fiercely and said unhappily, "Zhou Tieshu, why are you yelling? Look how scared you are to your second son's wife. If anything happens to my granddaughter, I will not forgive you."
Now Zhou Ersao's taste has changed and she likes spicy food. Because of the saying "sour food for a boy and spicy food for a girl", her family has already determined that she is pregnant with a girl.
Mingyue had hinted several times that her second sister-in-law was pregnant with two children, but after Liu Hui heard this, she scolded Mingyue in private, saying that it would be good to have a girl and she didn't want her to cause worries for the second son's wife.
After that, Mingyue just thought that when her second sister-in-law's belly got bigger, everyone in the family would know about it, so she never mentioned the matter again.
But we have to admit that Zhou Ersao has a very high status in the family now. Even when Old Man Zhou heard that she was frightened, his face changed immediately: "Second wife, are you okay? I was just angry just now. I didn't scare my little granddaughter, did I?"
"Dad, I'm fine." Zhou Ersao said with an awkward smile. In fact, she was just frightened because she wasn't paying attention for a moment, but she didn't expect that her mother-in-law was so sharp that she saw it.
Old man Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, and when he spoke again, his voice naturally became softer, but it still revealed a hint of gnashing teeth: "Mingyue, you must not be soft-hearted. Those little bastards must have had a hard time, so they only remembered you as their sister-in-law. People like them only remember grudges and not kindness. It's useless for you to be nice to them, because they only care about themselves. Next time if they come again, you can come to me and your brother and give them a couple more meals, so they know the pain and won't dare to come again."
Of course, you should clean up in private, never in front of others, otherwise even if you are right, you will become wrong.
Liu Hui said to her two daughters-in-law, "Those little beasts must have gotten retribution for growing so many strange things on their bodies. It's true that God sees everything we do. It's not that they don't get retribution, it's just that the time has not come yet."
Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou both agreed. Isn't that the truth? Otherwise, why would they have such a pimple
Zhou Daming said honestly: "Little sister, you have to listen to Dad about this matter. The last time the second brother and I went to move things, I saw clearly that those little ones..." He shook his head and sighed: "Their tempers have long been crooked."
It is very difficult to correct a person with a crooked temper, let alone the old ones in the He family have crooked tempers, and now no one cares about the younger ones.
Zhou Erming picked up a piece of tiger-skin chili for his wife and agreed, "Yes, especially the eldest and the fifth, one is cunning and the other is evil."
Honest people also have their own way of judging others, and Zhou Erming's words are very sharp.
What a coincidence, the valuable gift Mingyue gave was with He Dadong and He Dabei.
