Jiang Yuwei looked back in the direction of their gaze and saw Chen Guixiang's face filled with anger, glaring at the two children viciously.

Jiang Yuwei said without hesitation:

"Why, they are not your grandchildren? Or is Boss Ning not your biological son?"

Chen Guixiang was flustered by this question and quickly turned to look at Old Man Ning who was eating silently at the table. She coughed a few times, trying to hide her embarrassment:

"Well, how could that be? I was the one who raised the eldest brother. If it weren't for him, our Ning family wouldn't be able to afford to send someone to serve in the army."

Jiang Yuwei sneered:

"Oh? So you are quite self-aware. You should know that Boss Ning joined the army for the sake of the entire Ning family. Shouldn't you repay him for his sacrifice and dedication?"

Old man Ning standing by saw that Jiang Yuwei was not a good person and stood up and said with a smile:

"What are you talking about, my eldest daughter-in-law? Of course the eldest is our biological son, and these two children are also our biological grandchildren."

As he spoke, he nodded kindly to Ning Zhao and Ning Wan who were standing beside him and said:

"Your mother is serving you some food, why don't you continue?"

Seeing this, the two children hurriedly took the rice porridge from Jiang Yuwei's hand and drank it in big gulps, as if they were afraid that if they drank slowly, others would snatch it away.

Jiang Yuwei touched their heads helplessly and murmured:

"It seems that mother needs to earn more money to support you two little ones."

After breakfast, Jiang Yuwei asked Ning Zhao to take her to find materials for making straw sandals. The shoes of the two children were too broken to hold up and there was no time to delay.

Ning Zhao felt that Jiang Yuwei was not a bad person since he saw her yesterday. Since she came, he and his sister had two full meals. Thinking this in his heart, Ning Zhao took the initiative to stretch out his little hand to hold Jiang Yuwei's hand.

Jiang Yuwei, who was walking, felt a warmth in her hand. She looked down and saw Ning Zhao, who was holding her hand with one hand and her sister's hand with the other, walking forward seriously. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up into a beautiful arc.

Not long after the three of them walked, Jiang Yuwei found a pond full of cattails. As it was just the beginning of spring, there were still some cattails that had dried up last year on the edge of the pond. Jiang Yuwei hurriedly took off her shoes, rolled up her trouser legs, rolled up her sleeves, and went into the water.

The two kids sat on the shore and watched Jiang Yuwei waving her sickle in the water. After a while, she had cut a full basket of dry cattails. Ning Zhao couldn't help but sigh:

"She... is really strong."

Ning Wan, who was standing by, looked at her brother with sparkling eyes, then looked at his busy figure in the water and nodded hurriedly.

Jiang Yuwei looked at the basket full of cattails, put away her sickle with satisfaction, and stepped onto the shore. The two little guys sat obediently beside her, their legs crossed, waiting for her patiently. She couldn't help but give them a warm smile.

At this moment, the sun behind her slowly rose, casting golden light on her, covering her with a dazzling halo. Ning Zhao stared at the woman in front of him. Her gentle smile made him call out softly involuntarily:

"Mom...you are really amazing."

Jiang Yuwei was slightly stunned. This was the first time she was called that, but she felt unexpectedly comfortable. She smiled, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

"Let's go, let's go cut some grass for the pigs and then go home to make shoes for you!" Jiang Yuwei said softly, touching Ning Zhao's head.

"Yeah!" Ning Zhao nodded heavily, and took Jiang Yuwei to the place where he and Ning Wan usually went to cut grass for pigs.

A group of women who were digging wild vegetables on the hillside saw Jiang Yuwei coming from afar and whispered:

"Hey, look, isn't that the newly married eldest daughter-in-law of the Ning family? She's already working on the second day after her marriage."

"Humph, how could Chen Guixiang, who is so vicious, let her live a peaceful life?"

Jiang Yuwei naturally heard them talking about her from afar, so she calmly walked over with her child to say hello and smiled at them.

Seeing that she was sensible, the ladies smiled at her, and some of the more enthusiastic ones took the initiative to chat with her:

"I'm telling you, you look like an honest person, don't let yourself be bullied by your mother-in-law."

"That's right, you don't even know how she treats the mother of these two children, hey."

Jiang Yuwei frowned when she heard this, and asked with a smile:

"Do you know what illness caused the mother of these two children to die?"

At this time, another woman secretly nudged the person who just spoke and said with a smile:

"Oh, don't listen to your Aunt Zhou's nonsense. She is just a talker."

Jiang Yuwei saw that Aunt Zhou seemed to want to say something more, but she was pulled away by the people next to her. She had no choice but to finish cutting grass for the pigs and go home with her two children.

As soon as Jiang Yuwei came in, she asked Ning Zhao to feed the pigs first. She then poured out all the cattails in the basket, moved two small stools and sat in the yard. She asked Ning Wan to help her tear the cut cattails in half.

Although Ning Wan's movements were slow, she tried her best to imitate Jiang Yuwei's movements, and they finished quickly.

Jiang Yuwei smiled and brushed Ning Wan's hair behind her ears and said softly:

"Wan'er did a great job! Let's take these cattails to the kitchen to dry them."

Jiang Yuwei had originally planned to wait a few days to dry the cattails before making straw sandals, but the shoes of the two children were so broken that they couldn't walk. When she went out today and saw them walking almost barefoot on the ground, she felt very anxious.

I had to take the trouble to put them on the pot cover to dry. Fortunately, these cattails were dry last winter, so they were almost dry after a little baking.

Relying on her memory of watching survival videos in her previous life, Jiang Yuwei took the cattail grass, measured the approximate sizes for the two children, and began to weave. Children's feet are small and Jiang Yuwei is quick with her hands, so she quickly finished weaving two pairs of small shoes.

"Come on, Zhao'er, Wan'er, try these shoes and see if they fit your feet."

When the two children heard that the new shoes were ready, they ran to Jiang Yuwei excitedly and solemnly took their shoes with both hands.

Ning Zhao and Ning Wan had never worn new shoes of their own. The clothes they wore were left over by Ning Xin, the second daughter of Ning Lao. Now that they have a bride and new shoes, they are naturally happy.

"Mom, look, they're stealing my new shoes!"

Jiang Yuwei looked up and saw a fat girl in a bright red jacket pulling Sun who had just stepped into the door, and shouting in a shrill voice in the direction of Ning Zhao and Ning Wan.

When Ning Wan saw who was coming, she was so scared that she squatted down, covered her brand new shoes with her hands, hid behind Ning Zhao, and her whole body was shaking.

Jiang Yuwei noticed that although Ning Zhao was also trembling, his back was still straight. Standing in front of Ning Wan, he whispered to the fat girl Ning Xin:

"No, Ning Xin, these are not your new shoes. These are made by mother for my brother and me."
