Rebirth Era: After the Beautiful Sister-in-law Refuses to Open Business

"Thank you, Mom. Thank you, Dad too!"

Song Lan's eyes were full of seriousness: "Grandpa Xiao and the others are all good people. They have made a lot of contributions to our country. I really can't bear to see them collapse one by one, so..."

"You don't need to tell mom about this. Your dad and I understand everything. We believe in you."

She and the head of the family believed that their daughter was not being kind out of spite, and believed that there must be reasons for her daughter to help those people.

Furthermore, from the personal perspective of Li Jumei and Song Sanhe, they do not think that the Xiao family and Mr. Li are bad people, nor do they have any prejudices. At most, they just have little contact with them on a daily basis.

This is not for any other reason, but for the good of both of us.

But what I want to say is that the couple still secretly took care of the Xiao family and Mr. Li from time to time. Even if Song Lan was partly responsible, they could secretly send some food or cook something delicious at home.

They would also try their best to allocate some to send over, or just go over to take a look, in case the Xiao family and Mr. Li and others encountered any life-threatening situations and were delayed without timely help. In short, Li Jumei and Song Sanhe were not hard-hearted people.

The reason why it was mentioned that it was related to Song Lan was simply because Song Lan had asked his parents to occasionally take time out to visit the Xiao family and Mr. Li, Mr. Shen and others.

After all, living conditions are poor and the person is old. Even with the tonic pills she gave him, anything could happen. Song Lan felt it was necessary to take care of him a little bit in secret on a daily basis.

In fact, when it comes down to it, Song Lan has only one idea, that since he has already offered his help, he must do his utmost to ensure that the Xiao family, Mr. Li, Mr. Shen and others can leave Shisong Village safely.

As for anything else, Song Lan had never considered it.

For example, wait until the Xiao family, Mr. Li, Mr. Shen and others return to the way their lives were before Lai Shisong Village, and then take advantage of them by relying on the help they provided in the past, or even take advantage of them regardless of the consequences.

Song Lan really hadn’t thought about it!

"Thank you mom!"

"What's there to thank me for? Besides, do I need to thank your mother?!"

"No need, no need, it's my fault. I didn't control my mouth. Mom, why don't you slap me twice."

With a beautiful smile on her face, Song Lan acted coquettishly towards Li Jumei.

"Then I can't bear it."

Li Jumei shook her head helplessly and lovingly. Looking at her, Song Lan's eyes were full of emotion: "Mom! You are so good to me. It is my blessing to be your and Dad's daughter in this life!"

Holding Li Jumei's arm, she rubbed her head gently against her old mother's shoulder.

Hearing this, Li Jumei patted her arm lovingly. She said nothing, but she felt uneasy in her heart.

Just because she thought of the years she had been apart from her daughter Song Lan, in an instant, she was overwhelmed with self-blame and regret for countless times... If she hadn't been in a coma for three days after giving birth,

If the head of the household had not been distracted by taking care of her and had not discovered something was wrong when the children were confused by the nurse for the first time, her Lanlan... would not have not seen her for nearly twenty years.

"Mom, I'll go call Qin Yanzheng. Just put these in the bamboo basket for me."

Pointing at the chopping board, Song Lan left the kitchen.

After a moment, she returned, followed by Qin Yanzheng.

"How about I go with you?"

Li Jumei also packed up a dozen large white flour buns and put a large plate of fried black fungus and eggs in a large bowl. She looked at Qin Yanzheng's legs and couldn't help but say something.

Hearing this, Song Lan was about to respond, but unexpectedly, Li Jumei said, "Yan Zheng's leg hasn't fully recovered yet. It's not far to walk from our house, but it's still a long way. What if something goes wrong with his leg during the walk?"

Qin Yanzheng: "Mom, my leg is fine now."

"Forget it, you and mom don't have to go, I can do it by myself."

Looking at the bamboo basket on the ground and the cloth bag on top of it, Song Lan said with a smile, "It's just a basket and a cloth bag. I can carry it."

As the voice fell, she bent down, picked up the cloth bag in one hand and the bamboo basket in the other, and then cast her eyes on Qin Yanzheng: "Listen to your mother, your legs can't stand the tossing."

"I am fine."

Qin Yanzheng said as he reached out to take the bamboo basket and cloth bag that Song Lan was carrying, but Song Lan quickly dodged him and said, "Go back to the main room and sit down to continue eating. I'll be back soon."

He turned his gaze to Li Jumei: "Mom, you can go to the main room to eat too. I'm leaving now."

"You really don't want mom to accompany you?"

Li Jumei asked.

"Need not."

Song Lan paused at the kitchen door, turned around and said with a smile, "It's broad daylight now."

What this means is that you are safe on the road!

Li Jumei opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, Song Lan disappeared outside the kitchen door.

Qin Yanzheng saw this and hurriedly followed: "I'll take you there."

The gate of the courtyard.

"I'll go with you!"

"Need not."

"..."

“I didn’t think about it before.”

"Ok?"

What haven't you considered?

Qin Yanzheng was puzzled.

“It’s inconvenient with so many people.”

After hearing what Song Lan said, Qin Yanzheng suddenly realized, but he still did not give up and said, "Can't you be more careful?"

"Okay, this stuff isn't heavy, I can carry it."

Song Lan carried the bamboo basket in her arms, and she smiled: "Come in. If I don't come back for a while, I must be studying with Mr. Li and the others over there. Don't worry about me."

"……All right."

Qin Yanzheng pursed his lips and remained silent for a while, but finally nodded.

The food that Song Lan brought to Xiao's house, Li Lao and Shen Lao was packed together. When she arrived at Xiao's house, she asked Xiao Yu to bring several bowls and put them on the table. Then she divided some of the food she brought, and then said to Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Luo:

"Grandpa Xiao, Grandma Luo, the food is still hot. You, Uncle Xiao, Xiao Yu, and Chen Chen should eat it while it's hot. I'll go take it to Grandpa Li, Grandpa Shen, and the others now."

"Grandma Luo, on behalf of our entire family, would like to congratulate your eldest brother on his engagement!"

Old Mrs. Luo said with a smile, and Old Man Xiao, Father Xiao, and Xiao Yu beside her immediately said congratulations.

The cute kid Xiao Chen pulled at Song Lan's trouser leg.

"What does Chenchen want to say to Auntie, Mom?"

Song Lan lowered her eyes and asked with a smile.

"Congratulations, auntie!"

The cute baby Xiao Chen tilted his head back and spoke in a very adorable baby voice.

Song Lan and Old Man Xiao all laughed out loud. Song Lan said, "Our Chenchen should congratulate Aunt's eldest brother, not Aunt! However, Aunt accepts our Chenchen's congratulations on behalf of your Uncle Qingbin!"

Gently pinching the child's chubby cheeks, Song Lan turned her gaze back to Grandpa Xiao and Mrs. Luo: "Grandpa Xiao, Grandma Luo, enjoy your meal. I'll take these in the basket to Grandpa Li and the others while they're still hot."

Xiao Yu walked Song Lan out the door.

"go in."

Song Lan waved at the other party and said, "Grandpa Li and his family live not far away. I can be there in a blink of an eye."

This was to prevent Xiao Yu from sending her to the thatched cottage where Mr. Li and Mr. Shen lived.

"Then you...then are you still coming?"

Xiao Yu asked.

"I'll come say hello when I leave."

Song Lan said with a smile: "Except for the scrambled eggs with black fungus that was made by my mother, I am the one who cooked all the other dishes. Come in and taste my cooking skills."

"It must be good."

Xiao Yu replied without thinking.

"You have so much confidence in me?"

The smile in Song Lan's eyes almost overflowed.

"As long as it's something you want to do, there's nothing you can't do. I believe in you."

In their original world, she, as a doctor, was called "Little Miracle Doctor" by countless people; after joining the army, she led troops in battle and was invincible.

And... and as a noble lady of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, she is extremely talented and everyone in the capital knows about it.

Therefore, he believed that in her heart, she would either not do it or do it to the best of her ability!

Song Lan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You should try my cooking before you make a conclusion. Thank you. Otherwise, your praise will make me feel guilty."

After the voice fell, Song Lan turned around and walked lightly towards the thatched house where Mr. Li, Mr. Shen and others lived.

"Lanlan has passed?"

Xiao Yu returned to the house and looked at him. Old Mrs. Luo asked with a loving smile.

"Well, it's over."

Nodding, Xiao Yu saw that his family members had not started eating, so he couldn't help but ask, "Why aren't you eating?"

"We just had a meal. If you pick up the chopsticks now, your grandfather and I may have trouble digesting them. Sit down quickly and eat something with your father and Chenchen."

Old Mrs. Luo waved to her eldest grandson Xiao Yu.

"I'm also worried that it will be difficult to digest."

Father Xiao understood what the old parents meant. They wanted their children and grandchildren to eat more, so they used that excuse. However, as a father and grandfather of his grandson, he naturally could not compete with his children and grandchildren for a bite of food.

"Eat something, Song Lan is letting us taste her cooking skills."

Xiao Yu was very sad. He was not stupid, so how could he not know the meaning behind the words of his grandparents and father? He took the chopsticks and distributed them to his family members. Xiao Yu smiled and said:

"The scrambled eggs with black fungus were made by Aunt Song, and the other dishes were made by Song Lan. Grandpa, grandma, and dad, please eat quickly. I'll feed Chenchen."

"Eat, everyone, otherwise Lanlan will come over and ask us how it tastes, and we won't be able to answer if we haven't even touched our chopsticks."

Mr. Xiao spoke, and upon hearing this, Mrs. Luo said to Mr. Xiao: “Listen to your father, let’s taste Lanlan and her mother’s cooking skills.”

Father Xiao nodded: "Okay."

-

Song Lan did not stay long with Mr. Li and Mr. Shen. She left her food and steamed buns there, said goodbye to the old people, and returned to the Xiao family, but she did not stay long at the Xiao family.

reason?

Wu Dong will drive to the village around two o'clock.

"Sister-in-law."

"what happened?"

The party in the main room had already ended. Song Lan was helping to wash dishes in the kitchen. When she heard Tuanzi Xiaowu's voice, she turned to look at him.

"When shall we go home?"

Tuanzi Xiaowu asked.

Song Lan: "Miss your second brother and second sister?"

"Ah."

Dumpling has a small five-pointed head.

"Go play with your sister for a while, and when Brother Wu's car arrives, we'll go back."

Song Lan smiled and comforted the little guy.

"When will Brother Wu arrive?"

Tuanzi Xiaowu stood there without moving.

Song Lan: "Around two o'clock."

Tuanzi Xiaowu: "What time is it now?"

"Just after one."

Looking at the time on his watch, Song Lan responded with a smile.

"I understand, sister-in-law, I'm going to go play with my sister."

Tuanzi Xiaowu left some words and walked away with his short legs.

"Lanlan, your uncle is very young, but he looks really smart." This was the voice of Aunt Song, who was also helping to wash the dishes in the kitchen. Hearing what she said, Song Lan smiled and said, "The little guy is very smart, and he is also very sensible."

"He is quite sensible. I didn't see him making a fuss."

Aunt Song said, "Your sister-in-law doesn't talk much."

Song Lan: "I guess he's shy."

Aunt Song: "You must be tired every day, right? You have to take care of your husband, and so many brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, especially the two younger ones. I'm afraid you have to worry a lot."

"I did not think."

Song Lan had a light smile on her face. She said, "My brother-in-law and sister-in-law are all very sensible. The two older ones usually help with housework. As for the two younger ones, they are a little younger, but they never make trouble."

"That's good. That's good."

Aunt Song smiled and said nothing more.

Song Lan followed suit and smiled.

"The girl Qingbin found this time is much better than the previous one. Not only is she good-looking, but she also seems to have a good temper. She's not like that girl named Han Shalan, whose eyes seem to be on top of her head, and she almost writes on her face that she looks down on us country folk."

When Li Jumei heard what Aunt Song said, she curled her lips and said, "As long as Qingbin feels good about it, his father and I have no objection."

"I asked you before why Qingbin broke off the engagement with his previous girlfriend, but you kept it a secret and refused to tell me. Can you tell me now?"

Aunt Song had a gossipy look on her face.

Aunt Song joined in the fun: "Yes, you are from the third family, just tell me, my sister-in-law and I are not outsiders."

"If it's not suitable, then quit. What else can I say?!"

Li Jumei never thought that the news that Song Qingbin was cuckolded by his ex-girlfriend would spread. Even though Aunt Song and Aunt Song were her family members, Li Jumei had to keep it a secret to prevent the two sisters-in-law from gossiping with others and letting the secret slip, causing Song Qingbin to be laughed at by the villagers.

"If they are really not suitable, then what's the point of getting engaged? Since they are engaged, it means..."

Before Aunt Song finished speaking, Song Lan spoke up: "Aunt, this cancellation of the engagement is not something worth publicizing. Even if my eldest brother is right and chooses to cancel the engagement with the Han family, one should not be too selfish, otherwise, won't he create hatred with the Han family?

Besides, marriages can lead to divorces for a variety of reasons. My eldest brother was only engaged to the Han family before, but suddenly they felt that they were not suitable for each other and cancelled the marriage. I think it is normal."

"Kid, I didn't say you were abnormal. I was just curious about the real reason why your elder brother broke off the engagement."

Aunt Song smiled a little reluctantly, feeling that Song Lan had somewhat hurt her aunt's face, so she said:

"Think about it. Who would have done the arranged marriage well? And it was your family that went to the girl's family to cancel the engagement. What does this mean? Isn't it obvious that the girl did something to let your eldest brother down..."

Li Jumei: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, there is nothing to do in the kitchen. Why don't you pour some hot water to wash your hands? Or go sit in the main room for a while?!"

They are all from the Song family. Is it necessary to dig into the matter of her eldest brother breaking off the engagement?

Do you want to laugh at their family's joke?

Aunt Song and Aunt Song II were stunned at first, and then they both felt uncomfortable. They looked at each other, knowing that this was a tactful way to drive them away!

For a moment, I felt a little uncomfortable.

They are just curious, it's not a big deal, as for...
