Dressed as a little fool: marry and have children

The next day, Liu Xiuxiu and He Yuzhu were busy as usual. He Yuzhu went to work at the steel mill, while Liu Xiuxiu went to the department store. This time, Liu Xiuxiu was completely different from the last time. She walked into the store with neat clothes and confident steps, completely different from the uneasy country bumpkin image she had last time.

The salesperson did not recognize Liu Xiuxiu as the person she looked down upon last time, which made Liu Xiuxiu feel a little relieved. She carefully selected gifts in the department store, and had not decided what to buy after a long time. Although the salesperson felt that she was looking at things for a long time, he did not rush her out, which made Liu Xiuxiu feel a little respected.

Finally, Liu Xiuxiu picked out the gifts she wanted to buy. She bought a bottle of white wine and a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes for He Daqing to express her respect and care for her father. Then, she bought two bottles of vanishing cream, one for He Yushui and the other for Aunt Bai, hoping that they would like them.

For the two boys, Liu Xiuxiu bought them two picture books, hoping that they would find pleasure in reading. Finally, she also added two kilograms of cakes and one kilogram of sugar as a little surprise for her family.

Feeling that she had bought almost all the gifts, Liu Xiuxiu happily set off back to the courtyard with a bag full of things. The smile on her face was like the spring sunshine, warm and satisfied.

However, the journey was not smooth. The pedestrians on the road were attracted by the big bag in Liu Xiuxiu's hand. They looked at her with envy, and some even wanted to take her place. Liu Xiuxiu felt very uncomfortable. She felt like a monkey being watched by everyone, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

So she decided to speed up and return to the courtyard as soon as possible. However, at this moment, a man on a bicycle suddenly blocked her way.

The man touched his waxed bangs with a self-satisfied look, tilted his head 45 degrees, and said, "Girl, I don't know your name, are you interested in discussing it in depth?"

Liu Xiuxiu was shocked by his words. She looked at the man carefully and found that he was inferior to her brother Yuzhu in every way. She said sternly: "What do you want to do? I'm married. Be careful or I'll sue you for being a hooligan." After that, she walked around the man and continued to walk quickly towards the courtyard.

When the man heard that Liu Xiuxiu was married, his expression changed immediately, from self-satisfaction to disappointment and dissatisfaction. He glared at Liu Xiuxiu, then rode away on his bike, muttering: "You're married, why do you wear such nice clothes? Really..." Although his voice was not loud, it was loud enough for Liu Xiuxiu to hear clearly.

Liu Xiuxiu was somewhat speechless by his words. She frowned, looked at the man's back as he walked away, and shook her head. She knew in her heart that such a self-righteous man was not worth her attention at all. So, she did not take it seriously and continued to walk towards the courtyard.

When she arrived at the courtyard, Liu Xiuxiu noticed that there were not many people in the courtyard. She quickened her pace and walked into the house, fearing that people would see her buying so many things and gossip about her. She also didn't want others to misunderstand that she was showing off or flaunting.

When she got to the house, Liu Xiuxiu closed the door and carefully put the things in the cupboard. She breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little hungry. She didn't want to make a complicated meal, so she heated up the leftover porridge from the morning and ate it with pickles.

Although the meal was simple, Liu Xiuxiu ate it with gusto. She savored every mouthful of porridge and chewed every bite of pickles very carefully. She immersed herself in the taste of the food and enjoyed this simple and pure happiness.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Liu Xiuxiu put down her bowl and got up to open the door. When she saw Qin Huairu standing outside with the child in her arms, she quickly asked Qin Huairu to come in, fearing that the child would be cold.

"Why is Sister Qin here? This child is weak, it's better not to take him out." Liu Xiuxiu looked at the child in Qin Huairu's arms and said with concern. Her tone was full of concern for the child.

Qin Huairu looked at Liu Xiuxiu's meal and found that it was not as good as her own. A trace of disappointment flashed across her face. She looked around and did not see anything that her children could eat. So, she said with some disappointment: "I missed Sister Xiuxiu, so I came to see her. Since there is nothing else, I will go back first."

After Qin Huairu finished speaking, she turned around and left in a hurry, as if she didn't want to stay in this place any longer. Liu Xiuxiu stood at the door, looking at Qin Huairu's back, and couldn't help feeling a little confused.

She didn't understand why Qin Huairu left in such a hurry. Was there something that made her unhappy? However, she didn't think much about it and went back to the table to enjoy her simple meal. In her opinion, the world is big, and eating is the most important thing. Other things can be put aside first.

At the same time, Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu's return, her eyes fell on her empty hands, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed across her face. She snorted coldly and mocked, "Useless thing." Then, she took the child from Qin Huairu's arms and began to call him "my dear grandson" left and right, "my dear grandson" again and again, with eyes full of love.

Qin Huairu heard Jia Zhang's reprimand, but she didn't make any excuses. She knew very well that her position in this family was not high. So, she suppressed her dissatisfaction and asked, "Mom, did you see that Liu Xiuxiu brought back a lot of things? When I went there, I didn't see anything, and Liu Xiuxiu didn't eat as much as we do."

After hearing what Qin Huairu said, Jia Zhang showed some doubts on her face. She frowned and asked, "Is the food really worse than ours?" Although she asked this, her tone and expression clearly revealed her disbelief.

Jia Zhang was skeptical about Qin Huairu's words. In her opinion, although Liu Xiuxiu came from the countryside, her husband He Yuzhu had a high salary and was a chef, so her living conditions should not be worse than theirs.

Therefore, she guessed that there might be something hidden in this, and thought so, she looked at Qin Huairu with suspicion.

Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhang's distrustful expression and said firmly, "Mom, I saw clearly that Liu Xiuxiu was drinking porridge with pickled vegetables. There was no other food on the table."

After hearing this, Jia Zhang nodded, as if she understood something: "Maybe Sha Zhu was on guard against this daughter-in-law. According to what you said, the things she took back should not be valuables."

After saying this, Jia Zhang warned Qin Huairu worriedly: "When you interact with her in the future, you must be more careful and don't let her take advantage of you."

Although Qin Huairu felt that He Yuzhu treated Liu Xiuxiu very well, which was inconsistent with what Jia Zhang said, she still nodded obediently and replied, "I know, Mom."

She understood the importance of the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in this family, and also knew how to maintain a balance between different people. Therefore, she decided to be more cautious in her interactions with Liu Xiuxiu in the future, taking advantage of her if possible, and not letting Jia Zhangshi catch her.
