Chapter 161 In front of others and behind others
Sitting on the bus, Zhang Caihe was so happy.
She smacked her lips, still savoring the delicious banquet.
It’s worthy of a dish that costs over 300 yuan.
More than three hundred.
I’m afraid others would be scared to death if they heard it.
Now, she had something new to show off when she returned.
The bus would stop at the entrance of every village it passed, and when it arrived at Liuzhuang, a woman of about her age got on.
There are still several spots left on today's shuttle bus.
The woman walked straight up to her and sat next to her.
She couldn't help but start a conversation.
Only after climbing up did they realize that the woman was Xie Guifang, the sister-in-law of Feng Zhuanxia's mortal enemy.
"So you are the mother of Zhao Yang's wife. I was wondering why you looked a little familiar." Xie Guifang said enthusiastically.
Zhang Caihe was also pleasantly surprised and said, "Yes, yes, you are Zhao Yang's second aunt. My daughter Lei Lei told me before that you were very kind to her and even helped her pull wheat straw."
"It seems like you haven't been to our village yet. Come on, follow me to Zhaogou today to see your daughter."
After hearing this, Zhang Caihe was really moved.
*
Zhao family.
After dinner, Guan Lei was about to go back to her room to sleep when Feng Zhuanxia suddenly said that Zhao Lan was still short of a pair of wedding insoles and she had to make them quickly. Seeing that Zhao Lan had no symptoms of morning sickness today and had a good appetite, she asked her to wash the dishes.
Guan Lei was not happy in her heart, but she had no suitable reason to say.
She was a little annoyed with Liu Qinqin, this woman. What was going on? Why was there still no movement from Zhang Qingsheng?
Is it decided to marry Zhao Lan?
She slowly went back and forth three times before she finally brought all the plates and bowls to the kitchen.
Just as I tied on my apron and picked up the rag, the door rang.
She glanced outside casually and was stunned.
Her mother Zhang Caihe was actually standing in the yard with a bag in her hand.
"Mom? Why are you here?" She hurriedly chased after him.
Zhang Caihe looked at her baby daughter lovingly and said with a smile, "Mom is here to see you."
Feng Zhuanxia, who was in the main room, also followed out. She walked over quickly with a smile on her face and grabbed Zhang Caihe's hand, as if they were real sisters.
"My in-laws are here. Why didn't you tell me so I could pick you up at the entrance of the village?"
Feng Zhuanxia looked at Guan Lei who was wearing an apron and said, "Leilei, why are you wearing an apron? Didn't I tell you that you don't have to do anything now, just focus on taking care of the baby. Take off your apron quickly."
Guan Lei was stunned.
Zhang Caihe smiled and said, "I just came down from the county town and came to see Lei Lei. Although Lei Lei is pregnant, she can still do simple housework. Let her help you wash the dishes."
"Oh, that won't do. It's just a few dishes. I can wash them. You don't know how badly she suffered from morning sickness a few days ago. It made me so sad."
Zhang Caihe was very touched. Her daughter often said that her mother-in-law was good to her, and it seemed to be true.
"Mother-in-law, Leilei is so lucky to have met you."
Feng Zhuanxia smiled and said, "I am also lucky to have such a good daughter-in-law like Leilei. You haven't eaten yet, please go sit in the house. I will cook for you. Leilei, please go sit with your mother for a while."
Zhang Caihe held her back and said, "Don't bother, I just ate."
"You ate in the county town, right? Zhao Yang took me to a restaurant before, but the portions were very small and I couldn't feel full at all. Let me make you some more."
“I’m really full today.”
Zhang Caihe originally wanted to say that they went to a Sichuan restaurant in the county town and spent more than three hundred yuan, but then she thought that saying so would inevitably involve Gu Errong and Guan Youshuang.
She felt something was wrong.
She didn't want to mention the two of them in front of her precious daughter Leilei's house.
"Okay then, you and Leilei go sit in the house first, I'll wash some fruit." As she said that, Feng Zhuanxia pushed Leilei and asked her and her mother to go into the house quickly.
Zhao Hongcai went out right after finishing his meal, cigarette between his teeth. As soon as Zhao Lan entered her room, she seemed to be isolated from the world. Unless something big happened outside, it was impossible for her to show up.
Guan Lei took Zhang Caihe to her room.
She was about to help her mother pour water, and Zhang Caihe quickly said, "I'll do it, you go to bed and rest. How are you, have you been vomiting recently?"
Guan Lei looked out the window and whispered, "It's okay, I vomit occasionally."
"Just hold on for a while. Mom didn't bring enough money today, so she only bought you canned food and snacks. Come and try them and see if you like them."
As she spoke, Zhang Caihe started to unscrew the can.
"Mom, I just had dinner and I'm not hungry yet. Stop busying yourself. I'll eat later."
"That's fine." Zhang Caihe sat over, leaning against Guan Lei, took her hand, rubbed it and said, "Your method is really effective. I can get the money right away."
"Really? How much did you ask for?"
"200 yuan, and Xiaojie's tuition. He also agreed and said that his salary has not been paid yet, and he will give it to me when the time comes."
Guan Lei smiled and said, "Then I feel relieved. By the way, what did he treat you to?"
"It's that Sichuan restaurant. The meal alone cost this much." Zhang Caihe held up three fingers.
"How much? It can't be three hundred, right?"
"Yes, 358 yuan. I saw him pay the bill with my own eyes."
Guan Lei was very puzzled. Is Gu Errong so rich now?
In the previous life, let alone 358 yuan, he had never taken her out to eat even a meal that cost 58 yuan.
"If I had known this, I should have asked for more so I wouldn't have to go to the county town so often."
Guan Lei held Zhang Caihe's hand and said, "Just run away. You can go to the county town and eat delicious food. What's wrong with that? Next time, ask him to take you to buy clothes. Don't go to the small stalls, go to the department store."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
At this time, Feng Zhuanxia lifted the door curtain and walked in.
She was carrying a few washed apples, one of which was peeled.
"Come, mother-in-law, have some apples. Zhao Yang bought these a few days ago. They are quite fresh."
As she said that, she put the plate on the table, took out a big apple and handed it to Feng Zhuanxia.
"Leilei, you eat too." Feng Zhuanxia handed the peeled apple to Guan Lei.
Nowadays, no one is willing to throw away even the apple core, let alone the apple peel.
So, no one peels apples.
Guan Lei had never enjoyed such treatment before.
"Mother-in-law, why did you peel it? What a waste."
Feng Zhuanxia smiled and said, "Leilei is in a special period now. Her taste is quite sensitive and her teeth get sour easily. The skin of this apple is quite thick and I am afraid it will be uncomfortable for her to eat."
"Sorry for the trouble, mom." Guan Lei took a bite of the apple and said.
"What's the big deal?" Feng Zhuanxia put her hair behind her ears and said, "Oh, I'm boiling water now. You can wash your hair later. Then find out what clothes you need to wash and I'll wash them for you."
