Aunt Chen was originally very satisfied with the marriage of her eldest daughter Chen Jing'er.
My father-in-law was an upright man, and his family owned a good herbal medicine shop. He also had a house in Yangfeng County, and his only son-in-law was his son-in-law. Although the son-in-law had some of the habits of a young master before getting married, he would stop by a brothel from time to time. But Chen Jing'er was as fresh as green onion, and her son-in-law gave up his romantic habits for her.
Chen Jing'er is considered a blessing when she gets married, and she has too much money to spend.
It's just that after so many years of marriage, she only gave birth to a daughter, and her belly never moved, so her parents-in-law were quite critical of her.
Last time the eldest daughter came home and cried, saying that her son-in-law had relapsed into his old habit of being romantic. Not only did he go to a brothel, but he was also obsessed with a brothel girl and kept him as a foreign wife. Her father-in-law was trying to show his face, but he refused to let Sister Yao in. But the kiln sister got pregnant recently, and her father-in-law wanted to give birth to a son who would leave the mother and leave the child, but her mother-in-law relented and wanted the kiln sister to come in and take her as a concubine.
The key is that the son-in-law has a tough attitude. He openly declares that he can't let go of Sister Yao for a moment. Now he won't go back home and spends all day with Sister Yao.
After Aunt Chen learned about this, she was always worried. Chen Jing'er had a more arrogant temper than Chen Xuan'er and would never give in. That Yao Jie'er was the best at manipulating men in the lovemaking field. She was worried that if Yao Jie'er was born and her son came in to suppress her, she was worried. Pass Chen Jinger.
"...Mom, didn't you say that some rich men only love their concubines, so the eldest wife will help him get a more beautiful and younger concubine? Let the two fight in the ring, and she will sit on the mountain and watch the fight." Chen Xuan'er's lips curled up. With a secret smile.
Aunt Chen glanced at her little daughter and said angrily: "Is this what you, a girl who has not left the government, can say?"
Chen Xuan'er curled her lips in grievance: "Mother, I only tell you, and I don't want to tell others in front of others."
Aunt Chen nodded slightly.
My heart moved slightly.
She was such a caring mother that she didn't even think of this, thanks to her little daughter's reminder.
"You mean that Qiuniang is a widow? Is this news true?" Aunt Chen asked.
"It's absolutely true. She said that she went to the Bai family after her husband died. Think about it, mother, she can't stay in the Bai family all her life." Chen Xuan'er said.
At this time, Qiuniang happened to be carrying dishes from the kitchen to the room. Aunt Chen couldn't help but observe Qiuniang carefully.
She was truly a pretty widow, even plain clothes could not hide her beauty.
A widow actually went to live with her aunt, which shows that her husband's family did not tolerate her.
At such a young age, she is bound to get married in the future, but who would marry a widowed woman to be the head wife?
Aunt Chen's thoughts kept changing.
"The person you find for your brother-in-law must be of the same mind as your sister, and his temper must be easy to control. We don't know much about Qiuniang's temper yet," Aunt Chen said.
"What's so difficult about this? Just ask your aunt." Chen Xuan'er said nonchalantly.
Aunt Chen shook her head gently, and suddenly thought of a person who was the most suitable person to ask her about.
"Your second cousin is coaxing the children in the room. Go and have a chat with your cousin." Aunt Chen reminded Chen Xuan'er.
Chen Xuan'er's eyes lit up, her second cousin-in-law was a person who didn't know what she was talking about, so she had better use clichés.
"Okay, Mom, I'll go talk to my second cousin," Chen Xuan'er said.
"Don't be so aggressive. You can put a plate of cakes and fruits brought by our family for your second cousin. She is the most greedy." Aunt Chen warned.
Chen Xuan'er turned away.
Aunt Chen stood outside the kitchen, watching Qiuniang and Xie Chuntao working together while talking and laughing.
He's so handsome, and he's also quick at work.
It just seems that the waist is too thin and the hips are too small, not like a childlike figure.
But what does it matter?
What she wants is for her to help her daughter win over her uncle.
My uncle loves those with thin waists. The reason why he fell in love with the daughter of his grocery store was not because of Jing'er's slim waist.
As for the matter of giving birth to a son, it is natural to leave it to the daughter.
The more Aunt Chen thought about it, the more satisfied she became, and a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.
"Second sister, have you finished visiting the yard? Can you help carry this basket of steamed buns into the house?" Luo Shi was quite dissatisfied when he saw Aunt Chen standing at the door of the kitchen. This sister-in-law came to visit, so she really picked up Qiao.
Luo Shi didn't like Aunt Chen. She always looked down on her natal family because her family owned a shop in the town.
"Where are the steamed buns?" Aunt Chen walked into the kitchen and asked, looking around. At the same time, she was surprised why the kitchen of Lao Bai's house was so big.
There is more than enough space for the four of them, Mrs. Bai, Xie Chuntao Qiuniang and Luo Shi, to busy themselves in the kitchen.
When Lao Bai's family renovated their house, Mrs. Bai specially asked for the kitchen to be enlarged. She said that eating for a dozen people in the family was not a trivial matter, so the kitchen was made extra spacious.
"Here." Luo Shi was putting the freshly baked steamed buns into the steamed bun basket one by one, and then handed them to Aunt Chen.
Aunt Chen took it and glanced at the kitchen. She found that the large table against the wall was filled with dishes. Every dish was filled with chicken, duck, fish, meat, fresh vegetables.
It's more sumptuous than the banquet held by ordinary people.
How much does this table of meat and vegetables cost?
Let alone country people, even the Chen family would not entertain guests so richly.
Aunt Chen was secretly shocked.
At the same time, he also doubted where Lao Bai's family got so much money, opened a shop, opened an embroidery workshop, and even went to the county to buy a house.
She even suspected that the Queen Mother's aunt must have subsidized the Zhen family in private, otherwise a poor rural family with no enough food to eat would have been so good in just a few years.
Aunt Chen felt unbalanced.
"Auntie, dinner will be served shortly." Xie Chuntao saw Aunt Chen looking randomly at the dishes and thought she was hungry, so she said.
"We are not outsiders, how can we prepare so much?" Aunt Chen said with a forced smile.
Xie Chuntao smiled and said nothing.
Old Mrs. Bai answered: "Isn't this my mother-in-law and their aunt coming to the house? Naturally, they are treated as distinguished guests. In the past, I didn't even think about it. My mother-in-law and their aunt have never disliked it. Now that life is better, naturally they can't be like before. Shameful."
This sentence means that Aunt Chen used to think that Lao Bai's family was poor.
This old woman is really capable of harming others whenever she gets the chance.
Aunt Chen left the kitchen with a smile and a steamed bun.
"Second cousin sister-in-law."
Eugene Gui was sitting in the room coaxing Xiao Lang, when the curtain was lifted, and Chen Xuan'er walked in with a happy face.
"Second cousin, I saw that the eldest cousin has been busy outside. If you don't go to help, grandma won't talk about you?" Chen Xuan'er spoke with a hint of provocation.
How can I compare to the boss? Now that he is in charge of the entire Bai family, he must not be busy.
If things had gone by in the past, Eugene Gui would have started complaining to Chen Xuan'er as soon as they sang together, as if he had found a close friend.
But these days, Eugene Gui has become a good scholar. She knows that Mrs. Bai does not like the Chen family, and she is afraid that she will not be used as Chen Xuan'er's gun and shoot back at her.
After all, Chen Xuan'er had tricked her in front of Zhen before, and it took her a long time to find out.
So she said nonchalantly: "Cousin Xuan'er is here. Grandma feels sorry for me and wants me to take care of the child at home."
Chen Xuan'er was surprised, how could this second cousin who was so explosive become so calm?
