Sister-in-law of the Chen family said with a smile on her face, "I'm looking for Sister Chen. Is she in the courtyard?"
Uncle Gao saw that the eldest sister-in-law of the Chen family was a village woman, but he didn't know her and didn't dare to let her in rashly. Then he said to Xiaoling, who was playing with Yuan'er in the courtyard, "Please ask Sister Chen to come over."
Xiaoling hurriedly held Yuan'er's hand and entered the house.
After a while, Sister Chen came out and asked, "Uncle Gao, is someone looking for me?"
Uncle Gao said, "There is a woman, but I don't recognize her and don't dare to let her in." ?.?????.???
Sister Chen smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Gao, I'll do it." She thought it was someone from Xiaxi Village who she had a good relationship with.
But when she saw the person clearly, her face suddenly fell.
Sister-in-law of the Chen family looked at Sister Chen who was slowly approaching. She was even more surprised when she was so close this time. This kind of demeanor is not like that of a divorced and helpless woman.
Even the shopkeepers in the town can't compare to the current Sister Chen.
The elder sister-in-law of the Chen family had a flattering smile on her face and said hurriedly and affectionately, "Sister, it's really you who are back. You haven't even believed me in the past few years, but your brother and I are worried."
Sister Chen's face turned cold, and she felt dazed for a while when she looked at her sister-in-law, who was even more haggard than before.
Seeing her eldest sister-in-law, she remembered the time when she was abandoned by her husband's family and her family did not tolerate her. If the kind-hearted Aunt Hua hadn't saved her, she would have sunk to the bottom of the river to feed the fish.
"What are you doing here?"
Sister-in-law of the Chen family looked into the courtyard. There were many people in the courtyard, but no one noticed the door.
The elder sister-in-law of the Chen family said hurriedly, "I heard that you are back, why don't I come to see you? Look at it like this, sister, you are doing well."
In the eyes of the Chen family's sister-in-law, Sister Chen is indeed living a good life now. She wore a gold hairpin on her head and gold bracelets on her hands. The clothes she wore were 80% new and made of materials she had never worn before in her life.
Looking at Sister Chen's current appearance, she is not as rough as a country woman, but more charming.
Now, Sister-in-law of the Chen family is more sure that she can get some oil from Sister Chen.
Sister Chen said expressionlessly, "I'm living a good life now. Now I'm a member of the Ding family. As a servant, it's not convenient for you to come in. You should go back first."
The elder sister-in-law of the Chen family said quickly, "Farewell, sister, I came all the way here, how could you not let me go into the courtyard to rest."
Sister Chen said in a cold voice, "The master's family is having a banquet today. How dare I let people in at will? Is it possible that my sister-in-law is only happy to see me kicked out by the master's family and losing my way of living?"
Sister-in-law of the Chen family took another look at the courtyard. There were indeed a lot of people there. She thought it was possible that the host came back to entertain guests, so it was indeed an unlucky day to come here today.
The elder sister-in-law of the Chen family said with a look of reluctance, "I rushed here early in the morning just to see the girl. I didn't even eat. I don't have the energy to walk back."
Seeing her sister-in-law like this, Sister Chen shook her head helplessly, turned to Dongmei and said, "Dongmei, go to the kitchen and bring some steamed buns."
Sister Chen and Dongmei were in charge of the kitchen all the time. Dongmei turned around and went to the kitchen, wrapped some white flour buns and some meat buns in oil paper.
Sister Chen said, "Take these to eat on the way." After saying that, she turned and entered the yard. Dongmei quickly closed the door again.
When the Chen family's sister-in-law saw several large white flour steamed buns and meat buns, she hugged them tightly and walked back. I couldn't help but eat two meat buns on the way, they were so delicious.
An Ran didn't have a banquet here today, she just invited the family of Mr. Lin, the teacher of Zi Heng.
After resting for two days and sorting out everything, An Ran met Mr. Lin, who would teach the children in the future, and Master Wu Liuyun.
Liuyun used to be a leader of the secret guards, but he was injured during a mission, so he retired to train the new secret guards. This time, Ding Changhe specially arranged for him to come here. On the one hand, he would teach Zi Heng and Zizhuo, and on the other hand, he would also have a master sitting here.
As a secret guard, Liu Yun was not very good at being polite to others. After seeing An Ran and the two young masters, he retreated first.
Mr. Lin came with his wife and a pair of children, and Ding Changhe had someone build a courtyard next to the house in advance for Mr. Lin and his family to live in.
Mrs. Lin smiled and said, "Mrs. Ding is a mother of four children, but her face looks nothing like her. It shows that she takes good care of herself."
An Ran also smiled and said, "Mrs. Lin should know some things about the Ding family when she comes here. How can I have time to take care of them these years? These children alone are not enough for me."
"I'm just curious about how Mrs. Ding raises her children. Needless to say, your eldest son, these two young masters are extraordinary at first glance."
An Ran shook her head politely and said, "The child is still young, how can he tell anything."
Then he turned to look at Mr. Lin and said, "Mr. Laurin, you need to pay more attention to your children's education in the future."
Mr. Lin has just considered Zi Heng's homework and is very satisfied with Zi Heng.
If you study well, you will be sensible and humble. Needless to say, the two younger ones will have to wait a few years before they can take classes.
Mr. Lin is a relatively easy-going person. Although he is talented, he has no connections in the officialdom, so he was repeatedly excluded, and then he became discouraged. It just so happened that Ding Changhe had helped him twice when he was in trouble, and he also had the idea of returning to the countryside, so he came here without hesitation.
