Best friends transmigrate into a book! They marry a high-ranking official! If you run, I run too!

As for the chicken, it was killed and divided into several meals, supposedly for stewing soup.

But when Wang Xiaohui drank the soup, she could barely taste the chicken broth anymore.

As for the chicken, she ate all four chicken feet and four chicken wings, but didn't see anything else.

As for the brown sugar and eggs that Qiu Yuefang had collected, Wang Xiaohui never saw them again.

When Qiu Yuefang took the things away, she said, "I'll use them to cook for you."

Doesn't she know how many eggs she ate and how much brown sugar water she drank?

Recalling all this, Wang Xiaohui's tears, which she had been holding back, welled up in her eyes again.

Tears welled up in Wang Xiaohui's eyes, but she didn't dare to open her mouth, only shake her head.

As she rocked, tears welled up in her eyes and dripped onto the child's swaddle blanket.

Gu Jinfeng looked down and immediately asked, "What's wrong with this child?"

"Why are you crying?"

"Oh, don't cry, don't cry. Tell us what's wrong, and we'll all help you come up with some ideas," Zhong Meixian said, quickly comforting Wang Xiaohui after she saw her crying.

Wang Xiaohui quickly raised her hand to wipe it, then shook her head, "It's okay, it's okay."

She kept saying she was fine, but the more she wiped away her tears, the more she cried.

Perhaps it was a mother's heart that connected with her daughter, but as she cried, the baby in her arms also began to cry.

Wen Tang went over, took the child from her arms, and then comforted her as she carried the child out of the kitchen.

At the entrance of the main room, Gu Yanli saw Wen Tang carrying the child and walking back and forth trying to soothe him, so he stepped over.

First, he reached out and teased the child in Wen Tang's arms, then asked, "Why are you holding the child?"

Wen Tang didn't have time to answer him. Instead, she looked at the child who had stopped crying and whose finger was being hooked by him, and immediately said, "She seems to like you more. Quick, hold her."

As she spoke, she placed the child in Gu Yanli's arms.

Don't be surprised, Gu Yanli can hold a gun and his wife, but he has never actually held a child.

He placed the child in his arms and took him with great care, only to find that the child was too light.

As soon as the child was out of her hands, Wen Tang said, "You keep coaxing him, I want to go back and listen to another bit more."

After saying that, Wen Tang turned around and went into the kitchen.

Gu Yanli wanted to call her, but since there were many people in the courtyard today, he could only obediently hold her.

Fortunately, the child didn't cry or fuss in his arms.

He imitated Wen Tang, walking back and forth, swaying gently, so that the child wouldn't cry.

When Wen Tang ran back to the kitchen, Wang Xiaohui was sobbing, “My mother-in-law dislikes that I gave birth to a girl, so she thinks I eat too much.”

“She took all the eggs and brown sugar that my family sent. Whenever we cooked something meaty, she would disappear before the food was even on the table, even though I had a baby with me. As a result, I didn’t have enough breast milk, and the baby… the baby became very thin.”

Chi Yue didn't understand, "Why did you let her take the things your family sent?"

Wang Xiaohui meekly replied, "I took it during my postpartum period, saying I'd make it for myself later."

“Then…they didn’t give it to me later,” she said softly, rubbing her hands together.

"If they didn't give it to you, why don't you go and ask for it back?" This time it was Wen Tang who spoke up.

Wang Xiaohui shrank back again, "She...she speaks rudely, if I go to get it she'll definitely scold me."

Wen Tang didn't understand, "Let her talk, it won't kill her."

But Wang Xiaohui blushed slightly, as if being told something was a big deal.

Wen Tang couldn't help but say, "Sister, in this world, apart from life and death, everything else is a trivial matter."

Gu Jinfeng thought Wen Tang was right, but she still couldn't help but remind Wen Tang, "Sister-in-law, Xiao Yue calls her 'sister,' so you have to call her 'niece-in-law.'"

Before Wen Tang could react, Wang Xiaohui quickly called her "Auntie".

Wen Tang "..."

"Ah, oh, okay, niece-in-law, niece-in-law, I've got it."

"My seniority is actually quite high, huh?" Wen Tang was a little confused, but not embarrassed at all. She even laughed at herself as she said this.

Her reaction made Wang Xiaohui laugh along with her.

She admired Wen Tang quite a bit; if it were her, she would probably blush with embarrassment.

Seeing her smile, Wen Tang patted her shoulder and said in the manner of an elder, "Niece-in-law, you must remember, no matter how big the matter is today, it will be a small matter tomorrow. What is big this year will become a story next year. What is big in this life will be left for others to judge in the next life."

"Furthermore, once we are gone, let alone the next life, even if it happens three to five years later, when others bring it up again, the people around us may have to think about it for a long time."

"So, don't put so much pressure on yourself."

"Think positively, think positively."

"Take back what's rightfully yours, and don't let it fall into the hands of those who don't like you."

Wang Xiaohui nodded thoughtfully, "Okay, I've got it."

Wen Tang didn't say anything more.

After all, they could only be considered neighbors with Wang Xiaohui at most, and no matter how bad Qiu Yuefang was, she was still her mother-in-law.

When people close their doors, they want to live together as a family.

Leaving that aside, the conversation quickly shifted to other things.

Everyone ate sunflower seeds and peanuts while chatting.

Wang Xiaohui rarely had someone to help her take care of her child, so she sat for a while longer.

Her child was also well-behaved; even when Gu Yanli held him, he didn't cry at all.

Once there were few people writing couplets outside, Wang Xiaohui stopped sitting and asked Lin Jingshen to write some couplets for her before heading back.

Gu Jinfeng tried to give her the two eggs she had brought.

Although Wang Xiaohui looked thin, weak, and timid, she was exceptionally persistent in this matter.

He refused to take the two eggs, even though Gu Jinfeng said, "Take them back, cook them, and eat them to help the baby produce more milk."

Wang Xiaohui's eyes reddened slightly, but she still didn't take the eggs.

Even though she was already like this, Gu Jinfeng didn't insist any further.

He simply said, "Then take your child home carefully on your way back, and come visit when you have time."

Wang Xiaohui nodded, picked up her child, and quickly went home.

After everyone left, Wen Tang couldn't help but ask, "Is her mother-in-law the fourth daughter of the Lin family?"

Gu Jinfeng nodded.

Wen Tang thought, "I never would have guessed that her mother-in-law was such a formidable person."

Gu Jinfeng said, "Whether it's powerful or not depends on who it's dealing with."

Wen Tang nodded in agreement, "If she encountered someone like me or Yueyue, I guarantee she'd get a real beating."

Gu Jinfeng "..."

Zhong Meixian "..."

They thought to themselves: If you two were in their shoes, who wouldn't be in trouble?

I've seen mothers-in-law mistreat their daughters-in-law, but I've never seen a daughter-in-law mistreat her mother-in-law.

Their lives as mothers-in-law are truly something else!

It can't be mentioned; if it is, it will only bring tears of bitterness.

When Gu Jin and Xu Huaishan went to Lin Jingshen's house to ask him to write couplets, it was almost lunchtime.

Gu Jinfeng and the others invited them to stay for dinner. Since it was the New Year and they were proper relatives, Gu Jin and Xu Huaishan didn't insist on leaving.

Instead of leaving, Gu Jin went to sit down in the kitchen.

Xu Huaishan handed the paper he had brought to Lin Jingshen and asked him to write the couplets.

Although Xu Huaishan had separated from Xu Ancheng and the others, the amount of couplet paper he brought was the same as in previous years, indicating that it was for the whole family.
