Chapter 69

Xiu Niang was taken aback when she heard this, and took a few steps outside, turning her head from side to side to look.

Mrs. Liu saw Xiu Niang acting strangely, and asked, "Sister, what are you looking for?"

Xiu Niang looked around outside the yard, and said, "Sister-in-law Six, didn't you say that my mother-in-law is here, where is this person?"

Mrs. Liu said "Hi", "I came here, but I left again."

Xiu Niang glanced at her and pursed her lips, "Sister-in-law Six, you are so out of breath...then when did my mother-in-law come?"

Mrs. Liu said, "Hey, isn't it early in the morning? When you went out with your front feet, people came with your back feet after a while. I was about to go out to wash clothes, so I happened to run into them."

Xiu Niang thought about it and said, "Then why is my mother-in-law here?"

Mrs. Liu raised her brows, "I don't know that, I just watched her leaning on your door and looking in through the crack, it looked weird, that's why I called her to come over the house."

After hearing this, Xiuniang thanked Mrs. Liu, but luckily she took Chu Ge's mother to her home.

She knew that if Chugo's old lady was squatting at the gate of her house in the morning, the wretched mother-in-law would have seen it, and it might spread nonsense, saying that Chugo's old lady came through the house and they locked it. The door was not allowed to enter, and the old woman was left to dry outside.

She nodded and smiled, "Sister-in-law Six, thank you very much."

Mrs. Liu smiled and waved her hands, "Hey, thank you for that, isn't it just a bowl of tea and nagging."

Xiu Niang thought about it and asked, "Sister-in-law Six, can my mother-in-law say anything?"

Liu curled her lips, "I was just about to talk to you... Hey, Erbazi, it's time to finish eating."

Halfway through talking to Mrs. Liu, Chu An jumped out. He saw someone and asked, "Sister-in-law Liu, black boy?"

Xiuniang saw that he was holding a lot of things in his hand, but couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to show off to Heiwazi, no, she just ran out when she heard Liu said that Heiwazi was squatting in the room.

Xiao Xiang'er stood at the entrance of the yard, seeing Chu An go, she timidly talked to Xiu Niang and followed, the girl was still holding two colorful faces, but it was Chu An who She played it.

Xiu Niang looked at it and nodded, this Chu An is a good brother, once he got something, he knew to save some for his younger sister to play with.

Alright, my sister-in-law will find you a good wife in the future.

She yelled to Chu An and Xiao Xianger, "Anzi, wipe your mouth, bring a little fragrance?"

After hearing this, Chu An waited for Xiao Xiang'er to come over, then wiped her mouth and dragged her away, "Got it, sister-in-law!"

Mrs. Liu looked at how obedient Chu An was, and said to Xiu Niang with a strange smile, "Oh, I didn't realize that you taught Chu An a stubborn boy very well...how are you, you don't like Chu An?" Ge fiddled with a child to come out and take it with him."

Xiu Niang rolled her eyes and raised her eyebrows, "Sister-in-law Six, is this what you want to talk to me about?"

Mrs. Liu mumbled a few words with a smile, and then she said, "Hey, sister, to be serious, I think Aunt Chu is thinking about Chu Ge, and I came across the village today to see their brothers and sisters a few."

Xiu Niang snorted coldly behind her back, now that she knew Chu Ge was well, why didn't she talk about it when she called Chu Ge to live in Xiayang Village earlier.

She was thinking about this, but she was still talking, "Hey, what's the matter, after all, she is a mother, how can she not miss her own child."

Mrs. Liu curled her lips, "Oh, it's not that the eldest daughter-in-law is being bullied. After it's over, the boss of the Chu family doesn't care. This aunt said today, how obedient and filial Chu Ge was when he was young. ..."

Xiuniang snorted, if you are not filial, can you listen to the words and bring your younger siblings out to live by yourself?

"Oh my sister, you don't know what the old man is doing, just what my aunt said, the auntie was lying on the bed with her stomach full, opened her mouth and yelled for food and drink, and opened the car by herself. Xiaozao eats alone, doesn’t eat the food if it’s too late, makes noise when it’s too salty, lives in the big house all day long…”

As she spoke, Mrs. Liu became angry, "You said this woman is hypocritical, as if no one has ever conceived a child!"

Xiu Niang smiled and said, "Hey, I heard what the old people said, this woman will play tricks when she is pregnant, but my mother-in-law is surprised that she is from a big family, so no matter how much trouble she makes, It’s enough to bear it.”

Liu Shi felt that what Xiuniang said was not in the right way, and she hurriedly said, "Hey, is that a big family? By the way, sister, you haven't met your aunt before (Xiuniang nodded. )... No wonder, that aunt here praised you very much."

Xiu Niang was taken aback when she heard that, she met Shen Shi on the way to the town that time, and Chu Ge was also there at the time, she heard Shen Shi burying Chu Ge and made a fuss, she gave her a face and pulled him away. Chugo left.

She tilted her head, "What, did I hear correctly, my mother-in-law praised me?"

Mrs. Liu didn't know the reason, she laughed and said, "Well, that aunt has already said, the first time I saw you, I knew you were a filial daughter-in-law, a good child with good etiquette, and a good-looking girl. Jun, but the cute baby is very... oh, anyway, I have talked about all kinds of good things."

Xiu Niang grinned and muttered, "This is really upside down, the red sun is coming out of the west, it's hard to come up with such good words for my mother-in-law."

Liu-shi laughed and teased Xiu Niang with a little effort, and when she saw Chu Ge looking at him with a porcelain bowl in his hand, she suddenly remembered that Xiu Niang was still eating.

"This woman, look at what you said... Oh, look at me, you are still eating, and I have dragged you on for a long time, come on, hurry up and eat first."

Xiu Niang said, "Hey, well, I'll go to your house later, oh yes, Sixth Sister-in-Law, you bring those fruits with you."

As soon as Mrs. Liu picked up the wooden basin, she called to Xiuniang again and said, "Hey, sister, I just met Zhuzi's father by the stream. Didn't you say you wanted to take over his house? Someone asked you if you want it now?"

Xiu Niang put one hand on the courtyard door, and was about to enter the courtyard when she heard it and said hurriedly. "Well, yes, why not."

Earlier, I heard from Mrs. Liu that someone in the village was going to move to Shangyang Village. The house was two more rooms than the one she lives in now. The whole family does not have to sleep in the same room.

Mrs. Liu smiled, "Okay, I'll ask Lao Liu to go back to what he said in a while, and the two of you will be nagging at that time, and sister, you can take it if you see it when it suits you. I’ve been there, the house was newly renovated last year, but it’s not bad, now many people in the village are going to tell Zhuzi that they want to take over, and this morning the aunt also said, telling you to take it while it’s hot..."

Xiu Niang listened for a while, then interrupted Mrs. Liu, "Sister-in-law Liu, you said 'Auntie is talking too', could it be that my mother-in-law also knows that I am looking to buy a house?"

Mrs. Liu said, "Well, that aunt has been nagging her bitterness in the morning, saying that she called Chu Ge to Xiayang Village, and her family didn't get much better. You should listen to the eldest daughter-in-law, or even though Chu Ge is in a daze, there are some helpers who live together."

Xiu Niang became angry, "What do you mean Chu Ge is in a daze, what do you mean there is a helper, this..."

Mrs. Liu laughed vigorously, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, I didn't feel comfortable listening to it at the time, and wanted to make my aunt regret it, so I said that your family is living in abundance now. Chugo is going to buy a new house, don't tell me, that aunt can't even speak after listening to it for a long time."

What she said relieved Xiu Niang a lot, but for some reason, there was always something strange in her heart, "Then six sisters-in-law, my mother-in-law listened to what you said, and just called me and Chu Ge Do you want to buy a house now?"

Mrs. Liu said, "That's right, this aunt didn't get over it at first, but after a while, she became happy. Now that it's over, both children have a big house to live in."

Xiu Niang was taken aback when she heard this, both of them have a big house to live in?Could it be that the boss of the Chu family is also building a new house in Shangyang Village?

She didn't say much when she thought about it, she just laughed and chatted with Mrs. Liu and went back to the house.

After Chu Ge finished eating this time, he packed his own and Chu An Xiaoxiang'er's bowls into the stove, and there was a pot that was steaming, maybe Chu Ge wanted to wash the dishes, so he turned on the fire and boiled it of water.

Xiu Niang looked at it and said, "Chuge, just put the bowl in the pot, I'll wash it later."

Chu Ge put the stove aside and answered, and went out to the yard to find out what it was.

After Xiuniang finished speaking, she hurriedly sat down in the main room. She was already hungry in the middle of her chat with Mrs. Liu just now, and she hadn't eaten a few mouthfuls of the hot bowl of tomato and egg topped noodles, so she paused for such a long time It's time, I guess the noodles are all glued together.

Chugo covered her bowl with a plate to keep it warm. She picked up the chopsticks on one side and lifted the plate. Seeing that there was still heat coming out, she quickly stirred it a few times. It was cold and I ate it.

But as soon as the slippery noodles were in her mouth, Xiu Niang paused. She chewed a few mouthfuls and frowned, looking down at the bowl of noodles.

Xiu Niang swallowed what was in her mouth, picked up her chopsticks and took another bite, but it was still not mushy. It was weird, so what kind of noodles did she roll out, so that it would not be mushy after being soaked in the soup for a long time?

She shook her head in confusion, stirred the noodles and ate, raised her eyes to look in the yard, saw Chugo paused for a while, and then laughed out loud, "Pfft, hahaha..."

Chu Ge listened and laughed, and turned to look at Xiu Niang, who was covering her mouth with chopsticks, smiling and looking at herself with her watery eyes.

Embarrassed on his handsome face, he faltered in silence, and then helped himself to continue walking with his swollen belly, which was swollen because he ate too much, in order to digest food quickly.

Just as Xiu Niang watched him walking, she understood why her bowl of noodles didn't get mushy after soaking for a long time.

It must be because of Chu Ge, he met her and chatted with Liu Shi for a long time, and the bowl of noodles was already rotten, so he finished eating by himself, and ordered another bowl for her.

But looking at the bowl of rotten noodles in a daze, he must have felt that it was a pity, and ate it by himself...
