On the other hand, Chen Mingyuan's expression eased slightly after hearing Song Xile's words.

She made for him what she thought was the most delicious thing, and she didn't do it on purpose!

For some unknown reason, Chen Mingyuan picked up the bowl and started eating again.

Chen Xia stared at her brother's actions and said with wide eyes, "Brother, why are you eating it? Don't you hate sweets the most?"

Chen Mingyuan pretended to be calm and said, "Didn't you just say that food is expensive now? If that's the case, how can we waste it just because of personal likes and dislikes?"

"Can...."

Before Chen Xia could continue, Old Man Chen said, "Well, it's too early in the morning to hear you guys arguing over a bite of food!"

"Eat if you want to, otherwise you'll be hungry!"

After Old Master Chen scolded his noisy granddaughter, he looked at Song Xile with a sullen face and said, "If you don't know how to do it, ask others for help. My Chen family doesn't support idle people!"

The tone of this sentence was very strong and contained a hint of threat.

Song Xile lowered his head and responded respectfully, but snorted in his heart and didn't care.

Seeing that her husband had also made his attitude clear, Liu didn't want to see the two of them standing there and getting in the way anymore, so she said impatiently, "Okay, go back, and do your best next time!"

Song Xile naturally didn't want to stay here, so she responded obediently and then said goodbye to Yun You and left!

on the way back.

Chen Yun pursed his right thin lips, feeling a mixture of jealousy in his heart.

Yes, he is jealous!

When he returned to the yard, he actually pestered Song Xile to cook sugar-water noodles for him so that he could eat some too!

Song Xile burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Chen Yunyou turned his head away awkwardly. Even so, the blush on the tip of his ear could show his embarrassment at the moment!

"What sugar water noodles? I just made it up, and you believe it!"

Chen Yun turned his head right, his cold eyes tinged with a smile, "Really?"

Song Xile nodded, "Since they asked me to cook, I will do my best to not disappoint them!"

Chen Yunyou couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth when he looked at his cunning wife.

This is her wife, smart and witty!

Not long after the young couple had finished their meal in their own yard, Mrs. Zhao came again!

This time Chen Yunyou was not in a hurry to follow, he believed that Xile would be able to solve it!

Just as he expected, Song Xile made a terrible mess of the lunch and dinner!

It's either too salty or tasteless, either way the taste is always disappointing.

You asked me to cook, and I did.

As for whether the food tastes good or suits your taste, that is not something she can decide.

After all, cooking requires talent and skills!

That day, Liu felt her temples throbbing with anger.

She felt sad about the wasted food, but at the same time she was unwilling to let it go.

So after discussing with my daughter-in-law, we decided to let her do all the laundry in the house tomorrow!

At least don't give her an excuse to get away with it!

Saying that the food is not tasty is because of poor cooking skills, but it is understandable that one has no talent for cooking.

If the clothes can’t be washed properly, then it’s an attitude problem!

The next day, Song Xile carried a large basin of clothes and walked towards the river bank in the village.

This artificially dug river has long been an indispensable source of water for the villagers' lives.

On weekdays, I have to come here to do laundry and vegetable washing!

Early in the morning, the young wives and maids of each family squatted by the river, holding their family's changes of clothes and banging on the walls.

When Song Xile approached with the wooden basin in his arms, he saw many young ladies squatting on the exposed stone steps.

Because there has been no rainfall for four or five months, the water level of the river, which was originally abundant, has dropped a lot!

Judging from the five exposed stone steps, if there is no further rain, the remaining water will dry up after a month of consumption!

The villager who was squatting on the stone steps starching and washing clothes looked up and saw the topic of the villagers. She had a bandage on her forehead and was standing on the shore in a daze.

One woman couldn't help but sympathize and said, "After all, she's not her own daughter-in-law. Look, she's still injured, and she wants someone to work for her!"

Although the women were watching the fun, they still sympathized with Song Xile's situation.

As women themselves, imagine if something like that happened to them, they would probably just run into a wall and die!

Just when the women were whispering.

At this time, a skinny little girl stood up and walked to Song Xile. She rubbed the patched corners of her clothes and said nervously, "Aunt Song, let me help you wash your clothes!"

Song Xile looked at the little girl with a sallow face in surprise, and refused with a smile: "Thank you, it's just a few clothes, I can wash them myself!"

Seeing her refusal, the little girl blushed and was even more at a loss. She stammered, "Auntie...Auntie, I don't want any benefits!"

Song Xile touched the girl's dry and yellow hair with his hand and said gently: "I know, thank you very much!"

At this time, a tall and strong woman on the stone steps waved to Song Xile, "Madam Song, come here!"

Song Xile smiled gently at the little girl, then carried the wooden basin towards the woman!

Niu'er stared blankly at the direction where Song Xile left, and finally did not chase after him.

Song Xile put down the wooden basin beside the tall and strong woman. As soon as she squatted down, the woman said, "Don't feel sorry for her. The old hag in her family is a difficult one."

"If you had asked her to help you wash your clothes just now, I think that old woman would have come to your house to ask for your wages!"

Seeing Song Xile's questioning look, the tall and strong woman immediately leaned over to Song Xile's ear and whispered:

"Niu'er's grandmother is an unreasonable person. Some time ago, a neighbor felt sorry for the child and gave her some food. When the old woman found out, she immediately ran to the neighbor and threw a tantrum, demanding that the neighbor give the child to be raised by the child!"

"Tell me, is this a case of good intentions not being rewarded?" Then she sighed, "Who will dare to give Niu Er food from now on? Who will dare to help her?"

Song Xile was stunned. When he turned around to look at the child, Nuoer had already walked away with her wooden basin.

Song Xile thought that the child knew that he had such a strong grandmother and would not come to him for no reason.

As if confirming her guess, the tall and strong woman began to describe the situation of Niu'er's family to Song Xile in a very familiar manner.

"That child is a filial child. Maybe he heard that you helped the Zhao family's daughter-in-law give birth and her mother is also pregnant? So he wants you to help him take a look!"

Then she moved closer to Song Xile and lowered her voice, "It's not that my aunt didn't tell you, Madam Song, you'd better not interfere. I heard that Niu'er's mother's fetal position is not right, and if the birth is not done properly, there will be two deaths!"

"Plus, that old woman is so unreasonable. I heard that the midwives around here are unwilling to take her job. It's not that she can't make money, but she's also getting into trouble. Isn't that right?"

Song Xile smiled, but did not directly agree with the woman's words. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "Thank you for telling me, Auntie. I don't know what to call you, Auntie?"
