A lucky little peasant girl is reborn and brings prosperity to her entire family.
Chapter 95: Does Her Lotus Not Deserve Fine Satin?
Hearing Zhai Cuihong praise her two children, Qi Lian, despite not having a good impression of Zhai Cuihong, still gave her a smile.
Zhai Cuihong reached out and hugged the baby in the embroidered swaddling clothes: "...Is this Fusu? Look how handsome his little face is."
"That's Hehua."
As Song Yanyan entered the room, she couldn't help but say something.
Zhai Cuihong was somewhat taken aback and subconsciously retorted, "You've mistaken me, haven't you? This brocade swaddle is clearly better than the one next to it... This satin must be very expensive, right? Is it for a little girl?"
Qi Lian was somewhat displeased upon hearing this.
Does Zhai Cuihong think that her Hehua doesn't deserve to use fine satin?
In the first few months of her pregnancy, she was obsessed with having a boy.
It almost led to a major mistake, but fortunately Qi Lian was stopped by Song Yanyan.
Now that her daughter Hehua has been born, her little face is fair and tender, and she is very well-behaved. Every time she nurses, she only smiles sweetly at Qilian. Qilian's heart is filled with tenderness, and she feels more and more indebted to her daughter.
"Why not?" Qi Lian was not happy. Before Zhai Cuihong could fully pick up Xiao Hehua, she reached out and took her daughter from Zhai Cuihong's arms. She gently rocked her daughter, who was awake and not crying or fussing, and said indifferently, "Our Hehua has delicate skin. Only this fabric will not cause rashes. Why can't we use it? What, are you worried about our satin?"
Even if Zhai Cuihong was stupid, she could tell that Qi Lian was unhappy. She wanted to get angry, but she forced herself to hold back and forced a smile: "No, no, sister-in-law has misunderstood."
Song Yanyan came over and skillfully took Xiao Hehua from Qi Lian's arms: "Sister-in-law, you are still in your postpartum period. Mother said that you should not hold the baby too much during the postpartum period, so as not to make your back recover."
Qi Lian smiled and agreed.
The two started talking about what to eat that night, and for a while no one paid any attention to Zhai Cuihong.
Zhai Cuihong forcibly suppressed her temper and, finding a moment of respite, hurriedly asked, "Sister-in-law, you still haven't said whether you called me in for something?"
Qi Lian said seriously, "Miss Zhai, my mother-in-law is busy at the restaurant all day. As the eldest sister-in-law, there are some things I have to ask clearly. You've been coming to see Yueping these past few days. Have you started thinking about marrying him again?"
Zhai Cuihong's expression was not good.
She felt that Qi Lian's question was rather impolite.
But she knew she couldn't offend anyone in the family, especially Qi Lian and Song Yanyan.
One of them was a great contributor to the Song family who had just given birth to twins, and the other was the apple of the Song family's eye. She couldn't afford to offend either of them.
If she wants to live the life of a young mistress in the Song family, she'd better hold back!
Zhai Cuihong forced a smile: "Sister-in-law, your question is too blunt... Ping and I are mutually in love. There were some misunderstandings before, and my mother was indeed a bit unreasonable, which led to our separation. These days I've been arguing with my mother at home, and I even went on a hunger strike, so I finally persuaded her..."
Qi Lian was somewhat unhappy again.
No, although our Yan Yan is fifteen years old according to the traditional Chinese age reckoning, she is still a young girl who is not yet married!
You keep talking about being in love with someone, it's disgusting for Yan Yan to hear!
—Actually, Qi Lian just disliked Zhai Cuihong, so she found everything Zhai Cuihong said unpleasant.
But it's not fair to blame Qi Lian for having a big problem with Zhai Cuihong.
Given how much trouble she caused before, the fact that Qi Lian didn't kick Zhai Cuihong out directly was already a huge concession on her part.
"Oh, so Miss Zhai means she wants to reconcile with Yueping." Qi Lian paused, then said tactfully, "However, even so, it's not appropriate for Miss Zhai to keep coming to my house every day. The villagers are spreading some unpleasant rumors, which is not good for Miss Zhai's reputation."
“Then let’s get engaged sooner!” Zhai Cuihong blurted out.
Qi Lian was speechless.
“If Miss Zhai wants to get engaged, then have your mother send a matchmaker to our door,” Qi Lian said. “My mother and Yueping have both agreed, and we’ll discuss the engagement later.”
Zhai Cuihong pursed her lips.
Judging from Song Yueping's current indifferent attitude towards her, it's obvious that she wouldn't agree.
Zhai Cuihong lowered her eyes, looking dejected: "How could I not want to? But it seems that Brother Ping still has a big misunderstanding about me. He barely responds when I talk to him... Besides, what kind of woman would be so eager to have a matchmaker come to her door? I still want to clear up the misunderstanding with Brother Ping first."
Song Yanyan, who was listening from the side, wanted to complain.
Zhai Cuihong said, "What kind of woman would eagerly invite a matchmaker to her door? Wouldn't she be eagerly coming to her second brother for awkward conversations all day long?"
In other words, although her second brother is currently ignoring Zhai Cuihong, Zhai Cuihong wants to be with him but also wants to save face and wants him to take the initiative to find a matchmaker to propose marriage to her.
Please, it's not like her family didn't hire a matchmaker during the Chinese New Year.
She still remembers how her family treated her back then!
Song Yanyan pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
Pu Cao brought in a thermos and poured Zhai Cuihong a glass of water.
Zhai Cuihong stared at the cattail, her gaze somewhat off.
She took a sip and said with dissatisfaction, "This water is so hot, are you trying to scald me to death?"
Cattail paused for a moment: "Then I'll take it out to cool down a bit before bringing it back in."
After saying that, he picked up the thermos and went out again.
Zhai Cuihong immediately complained to Qi Lian, "Sister-in-law, look how your maid treats guests. I just said it was too hot, and she gave me a hard time. You have to have a good talk with her."
Qi Lian knew why Zhai Cuihong was targeting Pu Cao like this.
When Zhai Cuihong first came over, Pu Cao was brushing shoes in the yard, and the pair she was holding happened to be Song Yueping's. Zhai Cuihong recognized them at a glance.
Zhai Cuihong immediately started making a scene.
Later, when she learned that Pu Cao was just a maid, Zhai Cuihong perked up again and put on airs.
Fortunately, cattails are also of good nature.
They usually don't hold grudges against Zhai Cuihong.
Qi Lian and Song Yanyan, however, disapproved of Zhai Cuihong's act of coming to their house and acting like a big shot.
Qi Lian said, "I think Pu Cao is a good person. She is reliable, hardworking, and has a good temperament."
Zhai Cuihong's face flushed red, and she stood up. She seemed to want to argue with Qi Lian, but considering Qi Lian was the family's "great contributor," she held back, though her voice was still somewhat sharp: "No matter how good she is, she's still just a servant!"
Qi Lian disliked Zhai Cuihong even more.
Song Yanyan even forced her to leave, saying, "Miss Zhai, you've been out long enough today, you should go back to Shuiwanggou soon."
With that, Song Yanyan took the lead and walked out, saying, "I'll see Miss Zhai out."
Even with her thick skin, Zhai Cuihong couldn't sit still any longer and reluctantly followed Song Yanyan out.
After seeing Zhai Cuihong off, Song Yanyan turned around and went to find Song Yueping.
"Second brother, what do you think about this?" Song Yanyan asked Song Yueping.
