Not long after, the Shu family welcomed guests again.

An old lady holding a gift knocked on the door with a kind face.

Shu Meng was very confused: "What day is today?

Our family should not have much presence, so why do people keep coming to our house?'

But I still had to do my best to show my respect, so I politely asked, "Auntie, what can I do for you?"

The lady smiled, as if she didn't notice Shu Meng's vigilance. She pretended to be unaware of the possible unpleasantness and answered in a very familiar way:

“Haha…it’s nothing serious. You’ve moved into the courtyard for a while now, but no one has come to congratulate you yet.

If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know.

All the unhappiness before was caused by the bad apple of Jia Zhang. Actually, our courtyard is still very good and the relationship between neighbors is very united. "

Shu Meng was full of contempt and couldn't help but complain: "During the meeting, that so-called uncle was openly protecting the Jia family and bullying us newcomers. How dare he say such things?"

So she was not polite and replied calmly:

"Thank you, Auntie. Our family is doing well and we don't need any help. As long as we are not bullied, that's enough."

The aunt sensed the resistance and coldness in the words and felt a little embarrassed and ashamed. After all, she was the elder, but she ended up being treated coldly.

If it weren't for Yi Zhonghai's order, she would definitely not have come to the door on her own initiative.

Fortunately, Shu's mother's voice came from the room, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

"Xiao Meng, please invite the lady in quickly. What are you doing standing at the door? Don't neglect the guests."

Shu's mother heard the conversation outside the house clearly. Since the other party had come to show goodwill, there was no need to offend them.

In fact, she also wanted to integrate into the courtyard as soon as possible, rather than suffer from strange looks and exclusion.

Given Shu's mother's experience and age, she definitely wouldn't have a black-and-white personality.

So she felt that, apart from Jia Zhang, the Shu family and the other people in the courtyard did not have any big enemies, and it would be better to ease the relationship.

People who have experienced hardships know best how to protect themselves. Even if they cannot be good neighbors or good friends, can't they still live in harmony with the world?

Shu Meng could only welcome the person in. In fact, she also wanted to see what this old lady was up to.

As the saying goes, if someone shows kindness for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. She didn't believe that the family that took sides and bullied others would be so shameless as to take the initiative to visit them and show goodwill.

After an old lady came into the room, she asked with great concern: "Hey...sister, please sit down. Are you feeling better?

I brought some eggs, just in time for you to replenish your body."

Although Shu's mother looks pale and old, and her daughter is working, she is still younger than the aunt.

No wonder Yi Zhonghai wanted to raise a fertile woman outside. Otherwise, even if he was cured one day, his wife would have passed her prime age.

Shu's mother was also very enthusiastic. She took the hand of the aunt and sat down, declining:

“Hehe… I just have an old health problem, it’s nothing serious.

Oh, so many eggs! You are so kind! I won't do that. I will take them all back later.

I heard that you have a bad heart, and you need nutrition too!"

The two of them chatted without making any concessions to each other, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious. Because they were fellow patients, they felt a sense of mutual sympathy.

Shu Meng sees things clearly as a bystander and doesn't like this kind of false politeness.

But she kept paying close attention to the lady, waiting for her to tell her the purpose of her visit.

But after they chatted for half an hour, the lady asked to leave without even a hint, as if she was really just visiting to show her goodwill.

This made Shu Meng doubt herself a little: "Could it be that I am being mean and misunderstood others?"

"Xiao Meng, come and see your aunt off." The mother's voice brought Shu Meng back to his senses.

She forced a smile and politely escorted the old lady out the door.

Shu Meng looked at the other person's back and was really confused.

'We have moved into the Siheyuan for some time, and have learned a little about the Yi family's situation.

It can be said that Auntie Yi Zhonghai followed her lead. I was so undisciplined and refused to obey the so-called mediation at the conference.

Then the uncle must dislike our family, or even hate them, so this doesn't make sense.'

At this time, Cao Anping pushed his bicycle and carried a fishing rod out.

Shu Meng's heart moved, thinking of the embarrassing situation of her family in the courtyard, but today two families came to give gifts one after another.

If it was only Lou Xiao'e, it could be considered an exception, but when they all happened together, it became a bit abnormal.

There is no love without reason in this world, so what has happened recently that has led to some changes?

After Shu Meng had a rough guess, her face turned red with shame, and she couldn't help thinking:

"Will these people misunderstand something? Was I too intimate with Dr. Cao last night?"

And after he left, I left too, in full view of everyone.

Oh...if he knew about everyone's misunderstanding, he wouldn't avoid me from now on because of his concerns, right?

That’s right! Since they may have come to give gifts because of Dr. Cao, we should quickly return a gift to repay the favor.

Otherwise, this is just taking advantage of someone else's name. Although I can pretend not to know, I can't let others look down on me for no reason.'
