I am the stepmother of my son, and the little villain has changed into a little cotton-padded jacket

The others who heard this laughed even more happily. After all, who doesn’t like to hear auspicious words?

After everyone raised their glasses to drink tea, the others started eating only after the two oldest elders, Wen Qing and Liu Sufen, started eating.

By the time we finished our meal, it was already completely dark.

Wen Shutang turned his head and glanced at the dark night and said, "Dad and Mom, please stay here tonight. It's so dark, it will be troublesome to go back. I'll ask my husband to drive you back in the carriage tomorrow morning."

Upon hearing this, Liu Sufen looked up at the sky, hesitated and did not say anything.

Wen Qing also looked hesitant while sitting on the stool, but soon nodded.

"That's fine. It's just one night, what do you think, old lady?"

"Of course I have no objection. Let's try what it feels like to sleep in the big house tonight." Liu Sufen smiled and nodded in agreement. When she saw that everyone had finished eating, she stood up and began to clean up the mess.

Wen Shutang also stood up and helped Liu Sufen clean up the leftover dishes on the table.

Zhou Tong sat on a stool and reached out to help clear the plates. Although she had difficulty moving due to her big belly, she was still able to lend a hand.

After cleaning up the mess, Wen Shutang took the old couple to the wing on the west side of the main house.

"Mom and Dad, please stay here. If you have any problems at night, you can come to me. It's close to the main house and convenient."

"Okay, that's great." Liu Sufen nodded in agreement and began to make the bed, turning off the lights and resting.

Wen Ruizhou and Zhou Tong were arranged by her to sleep next to Xiao Wan's room. Wen Yaoshi originally wanted to find a room to sleep in, but he could not resist Xiao Ye's request. Xiao Ye insisted on sleeping with his second uncle.

Wen Yaoshi couldn't persuade the child and had to agree to sleep in the same room with him.

After arranging everyone, Wen Shutang and Xiao Yizhuo also returned to their rooms.

The night passed quickly, and early the next morning, the old couple woke up, got dressed, and sat in the yard teasing the chicks in the cage.

Xiao Yizhuo woke up at a certain time every day. When he opened the door, he found Liu Sufen and Wen Qing already dressed. He nodded slightly and greeted them.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law."

"Oh, son-in-law gets up so early." Wen Qing responded with a smile, taking a puff of his pipe while sitting on a stool.

"I'm used to getting up at this time every day." Xiao Yizhuo said in a light tone and closed the door, not wanting to disturb Wen Shutang's sleep.

The sun was high in the sky and the sun was shining brightly. Wen Shutang opened his eyes dazedly and lay on the bed, staring at the dark bed curtains in a daze.

It took her a while to wake up completely. Thinking that Liu Sufen and Wen Qing were still at home, she turned over and sat up, starting to change clothes and wash up.

After she had packed up, she pushed the door open and walked out, and found Xiao Yizhuo drinking tea with the old couple. The atmosphere was very warm.

Liu Sufen was the first to notice Wen Shutang. She smiled and waved to her, "Xiao Qiu'er is awake. Come here quickly. Your son-in-law really spoils you. How can a wife get up so late?"

Her tone was reproachful, but her eyes were full of love for Wen Shutang, without the slightest hint of blame.

Wen Shutang smiled playfully and said nothing. Xiao Yizhuo had indeed never asked her to get up early, nor had he ever used this feudal dogmatic thinking to confine her.

"Oh, mom, please don't blame me. I'm already up."

Wen Shutang walked to Liu Sufen, put his arm around her, and acted quite coquettishly.

Liu Sufen smiled and nodded her forehead without saying anything else.

Everyone had gotten up and washed up. After breakfast, Wen Shutang put the spare ribs he had bought for the old couple yesterday on the carriage.

"Mom and Dad, this is for you. Go back and cook it and eat it quickly. Don't be reluctant. Sister-in-law needs to replenish her body now."

"Girl, you are always wasting money. You bought so much meat, but we can't even eat it all." Liu Sufen looked at Wen Shutang helplessly.

"There's a whole family here, and a few mouths per person will be all it takes. Okay, mom, I'll go back to see you two in a few days, and I'll bring you some delicious food then." Wen Shutang said with a smile. She didn't feel that she was wasting anything by doing this. She was clearly just honoring her parents.

Liu Sufen and Wen Qing looked at Wen Shutang with tender eyes, said goodbye to her and got on the carriage.

Wen Ruizhou helped Zhou Tong get on the carriage, then turned around and said with a faint smile: "My parents and I will wait for my younger sister to come back next time."

"Okay, big brother." Wen Shutang agreed readily with a bright smile on his face.

Wen Yaoshi yawned, still a little sleepy, and said lazily, "Okay, little sister, go inside quickly. I'll take you to the mountains to play next time you come back."

"I understand, second brother." Wen Shutang took a step forward and whispered in Wen Yaoshi's ear.

"Yesterday, mother mentioned to me that you haven't gotten married yet. I guess she will nag you again when she goes back. You better be careful. Don't blame me for not reminding you."

When Wen Yaoshi heard this, he suddenly came to his senses. He turned around to glance at Liu Sufen in the car and sighed helplessly.

"My old lady, she has completely set her sights on a bachelor like me."

Wen Shutang couldn't help but curl his lips and smile when he saw him like this.

After everyone got on the carriage, Xiao Yizhuo drove the carriage out of town.

Wen Shutang stood at the door and watched the shadow of the carriage disappear before returning to the room.

After Xiao Yizhuo sent Liu Sufen and her family to their doorstep, he watched them walk into the yard before turning the car around and returning.

Wen Ruizhou helped Zhou Tong back to the room, and after settling her down, he turned and went to the small room where sundries were stored. He found the carpentry tools that had not been used for a long time and carefully wiped off the dust on them.

Wen Ruizhou took them out, found the wood, sat in the middle of the yard and began to try to make furniture.

He thought of simply making a small wooden table to try at the beginning. Although he hadn't used these things for a long time, fortunately his skills were still not rusty. An exquisite and sturdy wooden table soon took shape in his hands.

Liu Sufen was carrying a bowl of chaff and was about to feed the chickens. She passed by and saw Wen Ruizhou tinkering with something in the yard, and couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Boss, what are you doing?"

Hearing the question, Wen Ruizhou looked up at Liu Sufen and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Mom, I'm trying to make furniture out of wood."

"Why did you suddenly think of making this? Is something in our house broken?" Liu Sufen said as she walked closer and looked at the semi-finished products he was selling.

"No, I want to use my carpentry skills to open a shop in town, specializing in making furniture for people. I don't know if it will succeed, so I thought of giving it a try today." Wen Ruizhou explained.

Hearing this, Liu Sufen showed a stunned look on her face, then she reacted and slapped her thigh.

"Hey! This method is good. Didn't you learn from the village carpenter for a period of time? Maybe it can really work."
