Chapter 22

At Li's feet, there were large and small bulging packages.She knew that her daughter's life was very tight, so she brought some good things from her daily savings.

Mrs. Li took out a few apricots from a blue package and stuffed them into Coriander's hand, saying, "Eat. Washed."

Coriander took one, thinking about her feet, picked up a big one and stuffed it into Chen's mouth, and said softly, "Mother, eat one first."

Apricots are sweet and sour, until Chen's heart is sweet.

Her grandma was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "It is said that my daughter is my mother's caring little padded jacket, which is really good. Every time I eat fruit, I miss my mother!"

"That's not it." Chen said proudly, "Xiangcai is doing well. This baby has given me peace of mind since she was a child."

"What's so good about having a kid? Why don't you marry a wife and forget your mother!" Li raised her voice on purpose, "Look at the pillar, she listens to her daughter-in-law in everything. You've got my ears cut by a worthless person. This old lady forgot. My daughter is good, I am happy with her daughter!"

"Ahem..." The old lady was holding a big fan with two slits, and fanning the fire in the stove vigorously. She heard that she seemed to be choked by the smoke, and coughed loudly.

Coriander looked at the old lady's face that seemed blackened by the smoke, pursed her lips and secretly laughed.

Mrs. Li glanced sideways at the old lady, turned her head with a satisfied smile, withdrew her gaze, and rummaged through the pile of packages.

"Grandma, what are you looking for?" Coriander lay on Chen's lap, poking her head curiously.

"This!" Mrs. Li opened a khaki-colored package, took out a piece of turmeric and emerald-edged floral cloth from it, shook off her face and said proudly, "Look, how is it?"

"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Coriander couldn't put it down when she touched the cloth, the material was smooth and ironed, and the color was as bright as rapeseed flowers all over the ground.

"I thought that the color of the pattern is bright, so I can pull a dress for you and the baby." Shi Li squeezed the torn blue cloth shirt on Chen Shi's body, shaking her head, "Tsk tsk...you can still wear it, Don't you think it's embarrassing for your mother? What about the piece of cloth I asked Zhu to carry last time?"

Mrs. Chen smiled unnaturally, lowered her head and said, "It's inside the house. I'm not willing to look at this or that piece of cloth."

"Girl." Li said sternly, "Mother doesn't teach you like this on weekdays! Why do you suffer so much? Oh, this big family, relying on your savings, what's the use of it?"

"Ahem..." The old lady coughed louder and her face became even uglier. She patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a sneer, "I mean my mother, Chen Feng has been married for more than nine years. It’s not her fault! As long as there’s a mouthful in the pot, there’s a mouthful in her bowl. We can’t make her drink watery ones if we eat dry ones!”

"I really want to be like this." Li Shi rolled his eyes towards the sky.

"What do you mean that this is really the case? What do you mean?" The old lady was not happy, she put the fan on the ground with a "slap", and said with a face.

"What do you mean, hum. That's what you think it means."

"You..." The old lady was so angry that the hand that pointed at the old lady was shaking.

"Mother..." Mrs. Chen hurriedly touched Grandma Coriander, and looked at her pleadingly.

Grandma Xiangcai snorted coldly through her nose, deliberately slapped the piece of cloth on Mrs. Chen's lap, and said loudly: "Take the cloth, do whatever you like. Just one piece, don't let me put it in the house. !"

Seeing the old lady's anger, Mrs. Chen felt secretly refreshed, Mrs. Chen saw the attitude of these two refusing to give in to each other, and hurriedly dragged Grandma Xiangcai to the west room.Coriander followed suit.

"Mother, you are really... every word is thorny, this..."

"You treat your mother as a fool like you?!" Li Shi said coldly, "I look at cilantro and understand things better than you, you are so confused!"

"After all, I am the daughter-in-law of the Hai family..."

"Well, you treat yourself as his daughter-in-law, and they treat you as their own daughter-in-law? You mother-in-law, I can see that you are not a fuel-efficient lamp, and you are cunning. Double-faced, right?" Mrs. Li was annoyed. He poked Chen's forehead fiercely, "How dare I raise a daughter and send it to his family to be a cow or a horse?!"

"It's not what you said...it's okay for them to treat me." Chen shook her head and said in a low voice.

"No, grandma, grandma and father are not nice to mother at all!" Coriander couldn't help interjecting.

"coriander!"

"Look, look, a kid at this age knows how to tell the truth! Your mother's eyes are not blind yet! I can't tell what your life is like? Hmph, is that piece of cloth really hidden in the cabinet? Let me take a look!" Li Shi's sharp eyes swept away, and he quickly walked towards the wardrobe.

"Mother!" Shocked, Chen quickly caught up with her and grabbed her hand.

"I knew it. Let your mother-in-law take it and exchange it for money? Damn! This family is really poor and crazy." Li Shi spat and kept shaking her head.Chen finally couldn't bear it anymore, sat on the bed and began to sob.

The old lady and Mrs. Chen were going to go to the field, but Mrs. Li grabbed Mrs. Chen, dragged her back and said, "You are heavy, why are you going to the ground! Come back! Come back and lie down for me. The matter of going to the ground, It was also your pregnant woman who did it? Then what do you want a man to eat? Where is Ru Xian? Call him out!"

"Mom... I'm fine..."

"No problem, no problem? If you say no problem, you won't get in the way?" Mrs. Li bluffed, and then said to the old lady: "If this grandson is lost, it will be a big deal, right, I mean mother-in-law?"

"You can't say that. Here, it doesn't have to be a grandson." The old lady slowly straightened the hem of her clothes, and said calmly.

When Li Shi heard this, she couldn't laugh, and her tone became choked up.

"Mother-in-law, what you said is wrong, why don't you call it not necessarily a grandson?" She said with a cold face: "Even if she is not a grandson, my daughter has a big belly, so she can go to the ground? Oh, cooperating with my daughter is to give birth to your family." The grandson is here, what else do you want to do with her if she is not born?"

"I don't care! Let's go to the ground! My daughter-in-law of the Hai family has to work!" The old lady became stubborn, and as soon as she grabbed Chen's wrist, she pulled her away.

Li's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, he grabbed Chen's with both hands, pulled Chen back with all his strength, and behind him, he stared and said, "No!"

"You...you..." The old lady was so angry that she threw her butt on the ground and cried, "You guys are bullying my lonely old lady together! Oh, oh... everyone, come and see! Play wild in our house! ...how are you going this day!"

Just as Mrs. Chen wanted to pull her, Mrs. Li dragged her into the house, "Go, let her howl! What are you afraid of, you have a mother. Coriander, leave her alone, come back!"

Coriander looked at the howling old lady who looked like a pig butcher, and felt that she was pitiful and hateful. She was really a poor person, and there must be something to hate.Coriander shrugged helplessly and followed into the house.In this first round, grandma won.Ever since the powerful grandma came, the house was really lively like an opera, one after another.
