Chapter 448 The Sun Doesn’t Rise From the West, Does It?
Jiang Shuzhen was so scared when she heard Gao Guilan asking her that she hurriedly distanced herself from the matter and backed out of the door.
"Mom, can you let my mom drink some water?"
Li Xiuli looked back at Gao Guilan and begged her, feeling sorry for her mother. She never made excessive demands. This was the first time she went against her mother-in-law's wishes, but she was her own mother!
"Come in!"
Gao Guilan had a good impression of her second daughter-in-law and didn't make things difficult for her. She tugged at her clothes and threw away the broom, letting Jiang Shuzhen in.
Although her attitude was not very affectionate, it was not like that towards Cui Dani. Jiang Shuzhen was flattered and followed her daughter in a proper manner. When she saw Zheng Xinyue, she smiled at her and said, "Xinyue, you are getting more and more beautiful."
"Hello, auntie, come in quickly, I'll go get you some water.
Zheng Xinyue smiled. Children are educated like people. The second sister-in-law, the mother of the family, is also a well-educated person, but she is too honest and is bullied by Cui Dani.
"Thank you, Xinyue. "
Li Xiuli thanked Zheng Xinyue gratefully, her eyes were red all the time. It was time to go to work soon. If she didn't go to work, her mother-in-law would definitely scold her, but her mother had finally come once and she couldn't bear to part with her like this.
"Sister-in-law, why are you thanking us as a family?"
Zheng Xinyue smiled, gave her second sister-in-law enough face and let Jiang Shuzhen into the house. She went to the kitchen to pour a bowl of river water from the space for the old lady, brought it into the house herself, and said to Jiang Shuzhen with a smile.
"Auntie, drink some water to cool down the summer heat."
In the room, Gao Guilan sat on the kang with a cold face, and didn't let Jiang Shuzhen sit. Zheng Xinyue's delivery of water just relieved Jiang Shuzhen's embarrassment.
"Thank you, Xinyue. "
Jiang Shuzhen smiled awkwardly and thanked him. She said she couldn't come at home, but her sister-in-law kept clamoring for her to come. It was really uncomfortable to see her face.
She was really thirsty. She took the water and drank it all. She felt that this water was different from what she usually drank. It was cold and a little sweet. After drinking it, the heat in her body disappeared, and the drowsiness and weakness before were gone. She felt refreshed.
She wanted to drink another bowl, but she was afraid that Gao Guilan would be unhappy. In the end, she just pursed her lips and took the water drops on her lips into her mouth, and reluctantly handed the bowl to Zheng Xinyue.
"Mom, did you have lunch?"
Li Xiuli saw her mother being so cautious, as if she was pierced by thousands of arrows. Seeing her mother's skinny face and pale face, she couldn't help crying and asked her.
"I ate it, Mom ate it. ”
Jiang Shuzhen felt sad when she saw her daughter in pain, but she still put on a smile and wiped her tears.
“Okay, stop using the self-torture trick. Aren’t there two big pancakes left at noon? Bring them to your mother.”
Gao Guilan suddenly shouted, which scared Li Xiuli so much that she jumped up. She thought her mother-in-law was going to drive her mother away regardless of her feelings! She didn’t expect that she was going to give her mother food? She couldn’t believe her ears and looked at her mother-in-law stupidly.
The sun didn’t rise from the west, did it?
“What are you looking at? Do you want me to serve your mother in person?”
Gao Guilan frowned so hard that she could kill a fly. She scolded her second daughter-in-law angrily, but Li Xiuli was grateful to her.
“Thank you, mother.”
“Thank you, mother-in-law. "
Jiang Shuzhen really didn't expect that she would not only not be kicked out, but also be given food? It turned out to be a big pancake instead of wild vegetable porridge. She felt like she was dreaming?
Gao Guilan glanced at her without saying anything. Zheng Xinyue knew that her mother was a kind person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. As long as she could ensure that her family would not starve to death, she would not be a miser.
She followed to the kitchen. Her sister-in-law only dared to take the big pancake that her mother ordered, while Zheng Xinyue ran to make a poached egg soup.
"Xinyue, don't touch the egg, or my mother will scold you." Li Xiuli was so scared that her face turned pale, and she hurried to stop her sister-in-law.
