"Cousin, these are the crystal osmanthus cake and chestnut cake that my mother brought to you specially. You can try them." Chen Xuan'er placed the plate in her hand in front of Eugene Gui.
Eugene Gui took a crystal osmanthus cake and stuffed it into Xiao Lang's hand and said, "I don't really like eating these now. Mainly because my family bought them every two days after my sister-in-law was born. I'm tired of eating them."
Chen Xuan'er's expression froze.
This cousin-in-law has always been greedy. According to Aunt Chen, she would like to lick even shit. However, when faced with snacks, not only does she not look greedy, but she looks a little disgusted.
This is the best crystal osmanthus cake and chestnut cake in town.
"My cousin is having a better life now, so she doesn't like these things anymore?" Chen Xuan'er said.
Eugene Gui said harshly: "It's true, it's so sweet that it's so sweet. To say that these foods must be good from Huaicheng, my third son buys them from Huaicheng every once in a while and sends them to my sister-in-law. My family My sister-in-law is not a solitary eater, she shares it with everyone.”
"By the way, why do you and your aunt have time to come home?"
"I've always wanted to come and have a look, but I'm too busy at home and can't spare the time." Chen Xuan'er explained, patting Xiao Lang's head and praising, "Little Lang is so handsome. I heard my grandma say that my second cousin has a baby. Young man, my mother said that my second cousin is so lucky to have two sons."
It would have been fine if he didn't say this, but it made Eugene Gui angry when he said it.
Who doesn’t know that in Lao Bai’s family, only having a daughter is a good thing?
Eugene Gui felt that this aunt was a bit uncouth. It had been so long since Xiaolang was born and she didn't even bother to come and see her. When I came home this time, I didn’t mention bringing Xiaolang a gift or anything.
He was just holding a plate of crystal osmanthus cake and chestnut cake to dismiss the beggar.
"Where did I get my good fortune? The most blessed person in our family is my mother-in-law. She has a daughter. My sister-in-law is now the head of the village. Does cousin Xuaner know that?" Eugene Gui said.
"Xiao Yuanbao can only be blessed when she becomes the head of the village. My son is different. In the future, when Sanlang and Xiaolang become an official, it will be you who gets the title, and you are still a scholar. So the second cousin is more blessed." Chen Xuan'er complimented.
Eugene Gui knew that Chen Xuan'er's words were compliments, but who doesn't like to hear good words? Eugene Gui's face looked much better.
"That's true. My sister-in-law said that my young man will be promising in the future." Eugene Gui said happily.
Three words never leave my sister-in-law, and even the casual words of children are treated as imperial edicts.
My aunt's family really dotes on this little cousin.
Chen Xuan'er thought disdainfully.
"That's right, Xiao Lang must be promising. To be honest, second cousin, I love talking to you. I like you the most in the entire Bai family." Chen Xuan'er said.
"Hey, you were engaged to my third daughter when you were young. If you become my third daughter-in-law, we can be friends and chat with each other every day." Eugene Gui said.
Chen Xuan'er almost had a heart attack.
She didn't even know whether this second cousin sister-in-law was sincere or was mocking her.
If Eugene Gui knew what Chen Xuan'er was thinking, he would definitely be aggrieved, and he meant it sincerely.
Because Tian Maimiao was very popular with everyone in the Bai family, since she married in, she, the second daughter-in-law, has become even more marginalized.
If the third daughter-in-law is Chen Xuan'er, given how much Mrs. Bai hates the Chen family, maybe Chen Xuan'er will share the elder's dislike of her.
"I'm not lucky." Chen Xuan'er said, but she sneered in her heart. Compared with Bai Sanzhuang, Bai Panmei seems to be more powerful. After all, she will be an official in the future, and she will be an official's wife in the future.
But there is no need to reveal this to the second cousin.
She will naturally know later.
"Your family's life is really good now. I haven't been here for so many years, and I find that your family has changed a lot. All these family properties were earned by my third cousin." Chen Xuan'er still wanted to know the secret of Lao Bai's family's wealth.
Speaking of this, Eugene Gui was quite pleased and said happily: "That's not true. Our family's life is indeed getting more prosperous day by day. The third child in my family is very capable, but I don't expect the third child to get rich like this. My family can I got rich all because of my sister-in-law."
"Little aunt" Xiao Lang suddenly staggered and stuffed chestnut cake into Eugene Gui's mouth.
Eugene Gui's mouth was blocked, and he suddenly realized that his sister-in-law made the family rich. Can he tell anyone about it?
Mother-in-law and mother-in-law had warned her not to tell anyone, so why did she forget about it after being complimented by Chen Xuan'er for a few words?
Fortunately, Xiaolang stuffed a cake into his own mouth to block her mouth.
"Second cousin, how did Xiao Yuanbao bring wealth to your family?" Chen Xuan'er's curiosity was aroused, and she became even more curious when she saw that Eugene Gui had only finished speaking.
"It's nothing. What I mean is that life at home has gotten better and better since my sister-in-law was born, but it wasn't all her fault." Eugene Gui said carelessly.
Chen Xuan'er continued to ask questions, but Yu Jingui refused to let go. After asking too many questions, Yu Jingui became obviously impatient and almost chased her away.
"By the way, second cousin, I saw you have a Qiuniang in your family. Is she a relative of grandma's family? She's really handsome." Seeing that Eugene Gui refused to reveal the secret of the Lao Bai family's wealth, Chen Xuan'er finally began to tell The topic turned to Qiuniang.
Eugene Gui was always big-hearted, so when he heard Chen Xuan'er mentioning Qiuniang, not his sister-in-law, he started talking.
"I just live in the name of my grandma's relatives. In fact, I used to know your second cousin. She has no father or mother. The family took her in because she felt sorry for her."
"She's not a bad person, she's very hardworking, and her grandma and mother like her very much." Eugene Gui said.
Chen Xuan'er was secretly happy after hearing this, and said unintentionally: "Then she is considered an outsider. No matter how much she likes her, she can't let her take care of the embroidery workshop. The second cousin is a serious scholar in the family, and now the eldest cousin is in charge of the family. , it is only fair that the second cousin sister-in-law should be allowed to take charge of the embroidery workshop."
These words finally touched Eugene Gui's heart, but she didn't want to be laughed at by Chen Xuan'er, and said: "It doesn't matter who cares, anyway, my family is not short of pocket money."
Chen Xuan'er didn't believe this.
"Little aunt, little aunt" Xiao Lang smiled and waved outside, his saliva dripping down Eugene Gui's leg.
Eugene Gui and Chen Xuan'er turned their heads and were both startled. When did Xiao Fuyuan stand at the door?
"Xiao Lang."
Xiao Fuyuan walked in with a smile, holding a beautiful lantern in her hand and handed it to Xiao Lang.
"Xuexue (thank you) auntie." Xiaolang was delighted.
I don't know how much this cousin heard what she just said. Chen Xuan'er's forehead was sweating. To be honest, she was a little afraid of this little cousin. She always felt that this little cousin had a bit of evil.
"Second sister-in-law, are you and your cousin talking so happily?" Xiao Fuyuan looked at Eugene Gui with a smile and asked.
"Nothing to talk about, just idle talk." Eugene Gui said.
"Oh." Xiao Fuyuan smiled meaningfully, hugged Xiao Lang and walked out, saying, "It's time to eat."
"Sister-in-law, let me hug you." Yu Jingui took Xiaolang and said.
The three of them walked out of Eugene Gui's house together.
Eugene Gui deliberately lagged a few steps behind, and while Chen Xuan'er was walking away, he quietly pulled Xiao Fuyuan and said, "Sister, Chen Xuan'er and I really didn't reveal anything just now. She asked me how our family became so rich, and I didn't say anything. all because of you."
Eugene Gui looked fawning.
"It doesn't matter if the second sister-in-law said it." Xiao Fuyuan said lightly.
"Also, before you came in, Chen Xuan'er asked me about Qiu Niang. I didn't dare to hide it from my sister." Eugene Gui told Xiao Fuyuan. Although she didn't think Chen Xuan'er had any purpose in asking about Qiu Niang, she still decided to please her. Tell the truth.
