"Sometimes while cooking, Xiu'er is drinking milk or changing diapers, so I don't ask Xiu Xin to come over and help."

"When the fourth aunt saw it, she also came over to talk to me and beat me, as if I was going to deduct more than half of Xiuxin's meal, which made me a little bit unable to let go. What I did was wrong."

Liao Meiying looked confused.

In response, Yang Ruoqing could only shrug her shoulders and express her helplessness.

It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs, not to mention that there is no room for two tigers in this mountain, and the dispute between wives and concubines is a headache in itself.

And Zhao Liuer could only try to comfort Liao Meiying as a younger sibling.

But the consolation is pale after all, because the problem of wives and concubines in the big house has always existed.

Liao Meiying said: "Hey, as Qing'er said, I just want to be worthy of my own conscience. As for how others see me, I can't care that much."

"It's noon. I'm going to cook two dishes. Third brother and sister, when Yongzhi comes back later, you can tell him not to cook them at noon. Just eat them here."

Zhao Liuer said: "Sister-in-law, how embarrassing is this? It was you who brought us food in the morning..."

Liao Meiying said: "We are sisters-in-law. Yongzhi and Yongxian are brothers. It's okay for me, the sister-in-law, to treat you to two meals."

Zhao Liu'er said: "Sister-in-law, Yongzhi and I appreciate your kindness, but it's really no need. Qing'er brought chicken soup over earlier, and I'll ask Yongzhi to grab two handfuls of noodles in it at noon, and Yongzhi and I can

Just a makeshift meal.”

Liao Meiying smiled, "What else can a grown man like Yongzhi do?"

This time, it was Yang Ruoqing who spoke first.

"Sister-in-law, don't tell me. I've been in town for a few days. I saw my third brother making millet porridge and noodles for my third sister-in-law, and even changing the little girl's diaper."

Hearing this, Liao Meiying looked at Zhao Liuer in surprise, unable to believe that a man was willing to learn that.

Zhao Liuer said with some embarrassment: "Yongzhi couldn't help it, but fortunately the third aunt and the fifth aunt taught him step by step."

Liao Meiying said with emotion: "These days, no matter what the reason is, it is really not easy for a big man to put down his dignity and learn to do those things."

Zhao Liuer also said with emotion: "Yes, Yongzhi is forced by conditions to learn to do it, but what the old Luo family does not lack is the elderly to help take care of the children, but Tangyazi is still the first to learn to do those things.

.”

"As for Tang Yazi's figure, it can't be matched by several Yongzhi tied together."

Liao Meiying smiled warmly and said: "It goes without saying that Tang Yazi, when everyone mentions him, who doesn't give a thumbs up?"

"It's hard to find such a good man in the world who is capable outside and loves his wife and children at home."

Yang Ruoqing smiled sweetly and said, "Sister-in-law, please don't praise the third brother and Tang Yazi. The eldest brother is not bad either. Although he believes that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, a man's goodness does not necessarily have to be reflected in the kitchen."

Fang, he teaches conscientiously, and parents and students in villages all over the country respect him."

Liao Meiying also blushed with embarrassment, with a happy smile on her face.

"I'm going to cook, Liu'er, are you really not eating at my place at noon?" she finally asked.

Zhao Liuer said: "No, thank you sister-in-law."

Liao Meiying said: "Okay, let your sister-in-law chat first, and I will cook the meal first. Xiu Xin wants to breastfeed the child. She is hungry quickly. Liu'er, I will come back to accompany you later."

Zhao Liu'er bowed and said, "Sister-in-law, go and do your business. I'll talk to Qing'er for a while."

Yang Ruoqing also smiled at Liao Meiying.

Liao Meiying left, and Jin also wanted to help cook, but Liao Meiying stayed behind.

"Mom, I can cook it myself. You can play with your little granddaughter for a while!"

Mrs. Jin shook her head and made a few hand gestures, which meant that Xiao Niu Niu was asleep. She would come over when Xiao Niu Niu woke up and go cook food first.

In this case, Liao Meiying did not force herself, and took Jin's arm, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left the house together.

Before leaving, Liao Meiying was very considerate and helped Zhao Liuer close the door.

When only Zhao Liu'er and Yang Ruoqing were left in the room, as well as the sleeping little girl in the cradle, Zhao Liu'er patted the edge of the bed gently.

"Qing'er, come here and sit."

Yang Ruoqing smiled knowingly, nodded, came to the bed and sat down sideways.

Zhao Liu'er raised her hand and gently took Yang Ruoqing's hand, saying: "Qing'er, let's talk privately..."

Yang Ruoqing smiled and nodded.

The topics discussed by two women who have given birth to children together mainly revolve around the care of newborns and the postpartum care of women.

He spoke with gusto, wishing that time would flow more slowly.

It wasn't until Li Xiuxin's voice came from the corridor outside the door that the two stopped talking.

They all had a tacit understanding and raised their ears to listen to what was going on outside.

Outside, Li Xiuxin went straight to the kitchen, probably to help Liao Meiying cook.

In the room, Zhao Liuer whispered to Yang Ruoqing: "What do you think about this matter?"

Yang Ruoqing was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Zhao Liuer was referring to.

Smiling indifferently, Yang Ruoqing said: "It is difficult for an upright official to settle household matters. To put it bluntly, this matter is a tug-of-war between two women. It is a protracted war. It is difficult for outsiders like us to talk about it."

Zhao Liuer said: "To be honest, it has been half a year since my sister-in-law came here. She has always been good to my mother-in-law. She also takes good care of us sisters-in-law. She is kind to her from top to bottom."

"Li Xiuxin is different. She used to look at me through her nostrils. This time when I came back, she suddenly became so friendly. I was a little reserved when she came to sit with me before."

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "I guess my cousin didn't pick her up when she went back to Lijiacun this time, and then she figured out some countermeasures on her own, right?"

Zhao Liuer said: "Don't you want to change your mind, change your past, and live a good life in the future?"

Yang Ruoqing smiled, "If that's true, that would be the best, but I don't think it's very likely."

"On the contrary, I think it is probably because I want to win back a round."

"A round back?" Zhao Liu'er was stunned, and his face was immediately filled with worry.

"If this is true, then this big house will be even more uneasy in the future," she said.

Yang Ruoqing shrugged: "That doesn't make sense. It's easy for brothers and sisters to bump into each other, let alone this wife and concubine?"

"Look at Fourth Aunt and Aunt Xiaojuan. They have been fighting for several years. When did they stop fighting?"

"Fourth Aunt relies on her shrewdness to scold Aunt Xiaojuan every day when she has nothing to do. But Aunt Xiaojuan has captured Fourth Uncle's heart tightly, so no matter how arrogant Fourth Aunt is, she doesn't dare to do anything to Aunt Xiaojuan.
