From that day on, Manman's mother came here every now and then. She didn't need to do anything. Just talking with Manman would make Manman eat a lot more.
After Grandma Xi made her spicy and sour side dishes, Feng Manman fell in love with them after eating them once and couldn't live without them for almost every meal.
Manmanniang came more often, and Feng Yuanyuan knew about it.
Feng Yuanyuan was older than Feng Manman and got married earlier, but she never had children.
It’s not that I wasn’t pregnant, it’s just that not long after I got pregnant this spring, I accidentally dropped my foot and the baby was lost.
Feng Yuanyuan insisted that it was because her sister-in-law threw peach peels on the ground, and then she slipped.
As a result, her husband's family couldn't blame her anymore. Instead, they severely reprimanded their daughter.
After that, Feng Yuanyuan went back to her parents' home for half a month, and was later taken back by her husband's family. To this day, Feng Yuanyuan is not pregnant.
Of course, her husband's family didn't find fault with her, because although Feng Yuanyuan's husband-in-law was not a merchant, he worked in a caravan and had been away for several months and was still in the south.
Therefore, Feng Yuanyuan's failure to conceive cannot be entirely blamed on her. You have to have a man to get pregnant, right?
Feng Yuanyuan returned to her parents' home and found that her mother-in-law was not there. After asking again, she found out that she had gone to take care of Feng Manman.
Now, Feng Yuanyuan was not happy.
I originally felt that I married in a hurry, and the man I found was not the kind of man I liked. Although he was strong, he was ugly, and now he was just an errand boy. I always felt that he was not more decent than the Fang family.
When Man Man Niang came again, there was Feng Yuanyuan beside her.
Of course, this was because Manman went to her in-laws' house in person, and then said that Manman was feeling unwell and wanted to take Feng Yuanyuan with her.
Is that true?
That's certainly not the case!
Feng Yuanyuan originally wanted to come to Xie's Mansion to have a look. When she learned that her mother-in-law had gone to Xie's Mansion, she was immediately upset, so she waited until her mother-in-law came back, acting coquettishly and complaining. She was a little partial to this daughter in the first place. Mother, naturally I am more partial.
Manmanniang thought very simply. She felt that Feng Manman lived a good life in the Xie family. Although the man she married was named Fang, who made Mrs. Xie his aunt?
Not only that, thinking that Feng Manman had endless good things to eat at her husband's house, and now that she was pregnant again, she wondered if Yuanyuan could also benefit from it, replenish her body, and then conceive another child.
After all, Manmanniang is also worried that her daughter will not live well.
They are all her own flesh and blood. Even if she is partial, she is just willing to let every one of her children live a good life.
If she was really the kind of unreasonable and blindly partial woman, she would definitely have tried to find a way to give Feng Yuanyuan a chance to marry Fang Jiahe.
But she didn't.
So, generally speaking, although Manmanniang is biased, she won't be too biased.
After all, they are all her children, and there is Feng Laoer watching over them.
Feng Yuanyuan's arrival made Feng Manman feel surprised and a bit surprised at the same time.
After all, they are biological sisters and have grown up together. Even if there is occasional friction, they will not hold grudges.
"Sister, come and sit quickly."
Feng Manman's complexion has improved a lot now. Recently, his face has become rounder due to his good appetite.
When Feng Yuanyuan saw that her little sister was now living alone in such a courtyard, with servants waiting on her, the sourness in her heart began to leak out.
"Hey, my sister is living a really good life, unlike me. I have to do laundry and cook every day at home."
Manmanniang pulled her arm and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense! Whose daughter-in-law doesn't cook or wash clothes? Your sister used to wash her clothes too. This was because she was pregnant and couldn't eat properly a while ago. Yes, that’s why Mrs. Xie arranged for someone to come and take care of her.”
Feng Yuanyuan curled her lips, obviously not taking her words seriously.
Feng Manman didn't want to get into trouble with his sister, so he deliberately changed the topic: "Mom, how do you like these salted plums? Miss Xie sent them yesterday. I tasted them pretty good, just like we used to eat them. The preserved fruits are different, salty and sweet, which is quite unusual."
What happened to them here, Grandma Xi, who was waiting on the side, could see it.
After all, he is an older person with experience.
"Go and tell the kitchen that Madam Feng will prepare meals for three people today."
"Yes, is it enough for three people? Now Mrs. Feng can use it for two people?"
"That's enough. Didn't you see that her sister ate all the snacks?"
The little girl looked over and saw that the two pastries prepared for Mrs. Feng on the table were now bottomed out, leaving only crumbs on the plate.
That's all, it's hard for them to talk about this kind of thing now.
"That's it, I'll go now."
The little girl had quick legs and feet. When Grandma Xi returned to the house, she took away the bowl of sweet soup in front of Feng Manman.
"Why was this taken away? This was put up just for people to look at, not for my sister to drink from?"
Aunt Xi said without hesitation: "This sweet soup is indeed prepared for Mrs. Feng, but it's just cold. She is now double-bodied and is not suitable for use anymore, so I have to take it away to warm it up."
Feng Yuanyuan said carelessly: "What's the point? Besides, this sweet soup is too hot and doesn't taste good. Leave it alone. If my sister doesn't like it, just make something else. This sweet soup suits my taste, so I'll just drink it." .”
Manman Niang only felt a little embarrassed. When she saw Grandma Xi's eyes, she felt that she looked down on her and was particularly shameless.
"Yuanyuan, this is for your little sister, and it's cold, so don't drink it."
"Aniang, it's okay. Such a good thing should not be wasted if you drink it."
Feng Yuanyuan didn't listen to her and started eating as soon as she picked it up.
Feng Manman was really worried: "Sister, why don't you warm it up? What if you have a bad stomach?"
Feng Yuanyuan said disdainfully: "How could you have a bad stomach? It's not like you haven't eaten before! You are so delicate now!"
A flash of anger flashed in Aunt Xi's eyes, but she remained silent.
When it was time to have lunch at noon, Grandma Xi said that it was a bit windy outside, so it would be best to put it inside the house.
Originally, Feng Yuanyuan had wanted to visit the Xie family's garden. It was said that the back garden of a high-ranking official's house was worth a few houses of ordinary people. She really wanted to broaden her horizons.
Unfortunately, no chance.
"My sister has used a lot just now. Do you want to take a few steps to eat?"
Feng Manman really wanted to take a walk, and the little girl came over to help her with a wink, and then she walked back and forth in her small yard, talking to her mother-in-law while walking.
Feng Yuanyuan's eyes almost went straight through the wall.
"Little sister, why don't we go for a walk outside? Don't you feel bored just wandering around here?" (End of Chapter)
