TATVW- Chapter 11

 

    Liu Shufeng had already reached the door of her yard. She didn't rush to enter, but stuck herself on the bamboo fence and tried to listen carefully to the movement in the house.

 

    Aunt Zhang, who followed her, was also sneaking by the door like her, eavesdropping on what was going on inside.

 

    The sister-in-law of the Sun family who passed by gave them a strange look, if she didn't see Liu Shufeng, she would have thought that Aunt Zhang was a thief trying to enter the Su’s house.

    Liu Shufeng and Aunt Zhang were startled by the sudden appearance of the sister-in-law of the Sun family. Liu Shufeng was still in shock, as she whispered "shh" and said in a hushed tone, "Old Sun's family, don't scare people randomly."

 

    The sister-in-law of the Sun family looked at her curiously and whispered, "What's the matter, why are you not entering the house?"

 

    These days, there are no entertainment activities in the countryside. When they see something different from usual, everyone wants to join in the fun.

 

   So she wanted to know what was happening in the Su family?

 

        In the countryside, listening to people quarreling is also a very entertaining thing.

 

    Su Xiaoman and her sister-in-law are alone together. It's strange that they didn't quarrel. She had heard Liu Shufeng complain about Su Xiaoman before.

 

    Liu Shufeng looked at the Sun's sister-in-law pulling the fence(E/N : maybe… trying to dig some gossip) as a bystander, and her face immediately turned black.

 

    She glared at Aunt Zhang and Aunt Sun, who wanted to see her house lively.

 

    "Go, go, you two go back home."

 

    Hmph, how can outsiders see the excitement in their own family. Read only on fluffyedits.blogspot.com. Report if you find this anywhere else.

 

    Liu Shufeng chased away the two women who were trying to watch the fun, then  opened the door of the yard by herself, took a deep breath, and finally walked into the house.

 

    Even if she was mentally prepared, she is a little afraid of seeing a scene which will be difficult to accept.

 

    She didn't hear anything while standing outside just now, is Xiaoman really back? Or has she already quarrelled with her sister-in-law and left?

 

    The door of the house was not closed, so Liu Shufeng directly crossed the threshold.

 

        "Yingzi, Yingzi..." Liu Shufeng called her eldest daughter-in-law's name. Read only on fluffyedits.blogspot.com. Report if you find this anywhere else.

  As soon as she walked into the main room, she saw Yang Yingzi, the eldest daughter-in-law, and Su Xiaoman, the youngest daughter, together, holding needles and threads, and immediately froze on the spot.

 

 

    "Xiaoman, you came back home?"

 

    "Look! You must be careful with the needle in your hand!!"

 

    Su Xiaoman raised her head, "Mother, you are back? I had been waiting for you."

 

    "Mother, I learned how to embroider with Xiaoman. Look at Xiaoman's craftsmanship. I didn't expect her to be so skillful."

 

    Liu Shufeng was wondering if she was dreaming today??

 

    Or the sun came out in the west today...

 

    Otherwise, why would her daughter-in-law and daughter stay together in harmony? Also the first thing Xiaoman did after coming back was not divorce?

 

    Liu Shufeng's hand trembled a little, "Xiaoman, are you really Xiaoman?"

 

    "Mother, what's wrong with you?" Su Xiaoman and Yang Yingzi stood up to help her.

 

    "The sun is so strong today so my head is a little dizzy."

 

    "Mother, sit down and rest."

 

    Su Xiaoman poured water for her, Liu Shufeng was drinking water while watching them embroider, and found that the two people in front of her were real. Her family’s Xiaoman came back and embroidered with her sister-in-law... the embroidered flowers are really pretty.

 

    "This is a cloth bag you made for your mother, eh? Mother  likes  these pomegranate flowers."

 

    "Yingzi you also embroidered for your nephew."

 

    "My embroidery doesn't that look good."

 

    Liu Shufeng turned over the things that Su Xiaoman brought, and felt overwhelmed, their family Xiaoman suddenly grew up and became more sensible, "Xiaoman, keep it for lunch, your dad and brother eat with your uncle, and they won't come back today."

 

    "Yingzi, you cut the rabbit meat in half, we will eat rabbit meat at noon today."

 

    Liu Shufeng instructed Yang Yingzi to cook, then she took Su Xiaoman with her and said to her, "Xiaoman, mother knows that you are also sensible, so you should live well with that child in the Xie family in the future. Okay, let's not talk about him saving you, but when before your father fell on the mountain, he was the one who carried your father.."

 

     “ One is poor and the other is white. Look, isn't our life getting better now... Don't think about that Jiang Zhiqing, he is not the same as us, so he can't give you happiness."

 

    "Mother just wants you to live a safe and secure life. No matter how rich someone's family is, we don't want to climb high." Liu Shufeng felt uneasy in her heart as she tried to persuade her behind Xie Mingtu’s back.

 

    Liu Shufeng spoke a lot, while Su Xiaoman nodded and listened, she could hear that Liu Shufeng was really thinking about her, her eyes turned red, Su Xiaoman has experienced three mothers now , only Liu Shufeng in front of her was thinking of her wholeheartedly.

 

    "Mother, I will live a steady life in the future, you and father don’t have to worry."

 

    Liu Shufeng sighed, "Xiaoman, are you telling the truth? Don't think about that Jiang Zhiqing anymore,alright?"

 

    "If that Jiang Zhiqing really liked you, and his parents agreed with you too, then..." If Jiang Zhiqing was interested in their family’s Xiaoman, Liu Shufeng would have never forced her to marry Xie Mingtu.

 

    But he's not a good match!

 

    Su Xiaoman nodded: "Mom, I don't like him anymore, I thought about it, they will definitely go back to the city in the future, and his family will look down on us who are from the countryside."

 

     Hearing what her daughter said, Liu Shufeng smiled: "Then you and Mingtu will live a good life in the future. Take care of him." . Read only on fluffyedits.blogspot.com. Report if you find this anywhere else.

 

     "Let him go to a master to fix his hair, shave his beard, and dress up well, he must be a handsome boy, mother knows, you like to good looks."

 

    "He's tall and handsome, standing by your side, certainly not bad."

 

    "Don't think that Mingtu is a farmer from the countryside. Believe it or not, if you let him wear the clothes of an educated youth. He will be even better-looking than that Jiang Zhiqing."

 

 

    "If you don't believe me,  make a bet with mother."

 

    Su Xiaoman: "????"

 

    Can her mother break the appearance and see the actual"Xie Mingtu"?

 

    …the handsome Xie Mingtu?

 

    Liu Shufeng glanced at her daughter's indescribable expression and pushed Su Xiaoman's elbow: "Don't believe me? Mak a bet."

 

    Liu Shufeng got excited when she mentioned the bet, she felt that she would never lose this bet.

 

    Su Xiaoman: "...Mother, I won't bet with you."

 

    Now that you know the answer, what are you betting on?

 

    When she heard her daughter say no to gamble, Liu Shufeng was stunned as if someone had poured a large pot of cold water.

 

    She always felt that she was a discerning mother-in-law. When she saw a rough jade that could be polished, she felt that her son-in-law was not bad.

 

    But her daughter didn't seem interested at all.

 

    "Mother, how do you know that Xie Mingtu is good-looking?" Su Xiaoman asked curiously.

 

    "My mother has seen him when he was a child, when he was so young, he was like a little flower in our village, and I had never seen such a beautiful baby doll. At that time, I thought you were the one the most beautiful baby in our village, he was just a little bit worse than you."

 

    "When he brought your father back before, I looked at it carefully. This child has straight facial features, nose and eyes, so how ugly can he be."

 

  "He's definitely not bad, if you don't believe us, bet..."

 

    "Mom, I won't bet with you, let's go to dinner."

 

    Su Xiaoman ate white rice and rabbit meat at Su's house at noon. The dried rabbit meat was cut into small pieces, fried with oil and dried chili, and finally sprinkled with Minced green onion, not to mention it was so fragrant.

 

 

    This is still a fat rabbit. When it is brought out, the small pieces of rabbit skin are sizzling. When chewing, it is a little soft and elastic. .

 

    The pan for frying the rabbit was used to boil white rice, the rice was stained with meaty oil, and the smell made people drool.

 

    "This rabbit fat, where did Xiaoman get the dried rabbit." Liu Shufeng asked while devouring it.

 

    "I don't know, Xie Mingtu brought it, his family doesn't know."  Read only on fluffyedits.blogspot.com. Report if you find this anywhere else.

 

      Su Xiaoman bowed her head to eat, for the time being she had nothing to explain.

 The three of them ate the food cleanly, even the dried chili and in the bowl. Su Xiaoman ate it to fill her stomach. This is the first time since coming in this world she could eat something good.

 

    The rabbit smells so good!

 

    Su Xiaoman thought about how to go up the mountain to catch wild rabbits in the future.

 

    Sister Su, who was satisfied with her meal, was in a particularly good mood, and went out to wash the dishes.

 

    "Here, I'll give you the key to the old house, and the key to the cabinet. If you want to put anything, just put it in the cabinet."

 

    Su Xiaoman took the key and nodded.

 

     "When the Xie family splits, you two can live in the old house temporarily, and build a house slowly in the future."

 

    Su Xiaoman: "...Mother, you think too far."

 

    "It's not far at all, you are your mother's daughter, and of course mother wants only good for you." Liu Shufeng smiled and patted her daughter's head.

 

     "Now that you are married, you can't be too lazy in the future. You should often go to work in the team, do some simple work, and get a few work points. Your uncle will help you."

 

    Su Xiaoman's uncle Liu Zhaoqiang is the new production team’s captain.

 

    Liu Shufeng was a little worried when she mentioned her brother: "Your uncle has been impulsive recently, he wants to bring someone big to increase the produce quickly and make everyone's life prosperous. He wants to open up the wasteland and build dams, and also to develop fish ponds and farms..."

 

    "It's good for him to have this heart, and a large part of people are willing to work with him..." But the production has not been effective for a while, and it has made people very tired. Read only on fluffyedits.blogspot.com. Report if you find this anywhere else.

 

    "The team is short of manpower now, you have to help out more and work hard."
