Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 1109 Does Big Brother Know?

So you know how to avoid the main issue and smoothly change the subject. Does your brother know that your wife has suddenly become more cunning?
Zhou Banxia chuckled and shook her head firmly, denying that the reason she didn't recognize who her third aunt was referring to yesterday was not because she hadn't made the connection at the time.

Anyone who hears the other person mention how much income the eldest daughter earns in a year after taking over her older sister's responsibilities would misunderstand that the other person is talking about the eldest daughter's biological mother.

After all, it's impossible for her mother to still be eyeing her eldest daughter's wages, even though her eldest daughter has been married for many years and has three children.

Since Da Niu is still newly married, her mother doesn't want her to hand over her wages as usual. She might still want Da Niu to keep half of her New Year's benefits for her parents' family.

How can you blame her for not hearing clearly?

No!

What can be done? Even the best sister-in-law has different degrees of closeness; she clearly doesn't want to tell her second sister-in-law from her maternal family that her brother-in-law is going to Zhen Ding Prefecture to take the imperial examinations. So she just spoils him.

Of course, it wouldn't be good to leave Ma Ersao out of the way. After all, she came to pick them up, and it was too easy for her to liven things up and chat.

The three of them chatted and laughed as they entered the Elm Garden. There weren't many people in the main hall, only Liu's three mothers-in-law, Gu Baoya, and two little babies.

Two cradles, one for each baby.

One of them lay in the cradle, its two chubby little feet raised, kicking a few times with babbling sounds, and even raising its two tender little hands to try to grab its own little feet.

Another eye caught sight of the younger brother in the cradle beside her. With a soft "ah," she let out a series of baby sounds and rolled over to stare at her brother.

Xiao Suocheng is several months older than his younger brother. At this age, even a difference of just a few days makes a big difference for babies, so he can already roll over easily.

The two little children stared at each other without saying a word, and then, without warning, they started gesturing wildly and talking about something.

This scene immediately amused everyone present, and everyone burst out laughing, regardless of their own sense of humor.

Loud laughter.

The two little babies were completely bewildered. They looked at one person and then at the other, and seeing that they were still smiling, they also broke into bright, toothless smiles.

"Oh my, what's so funny, Grandma's Yuan Ge'er? Look, our Yuan Ge'er still knows what I was talking to him about. Oh, what does our little Suocheng want to say?"

Oh, it's a little brother! Yes, it's a little brother, hahaha. Third Grandma knows this is the little brother, are you looking for the older brother? The older brother and Daddy are still out there.

Our kids are so clever! You're all still so young, and you already want to go out and play. Once you can walk and run, you'll be running outside every day...

"Mom, we're back!...Mom, Sanya and I are back. Mom!...I'm back, what are you all so happy about? I could hear you from far away outside."

"Oh my, our Tiger Girl is back!"

"This girl, how old is she? Keep your voice down."

"Mother, you're complaining about me again! I could hear you two laughing and joking inside, how could I not know that the child is definitely awake right now?"

"Haha, our Tiger Girl knows what she's doing. Your third aunt loves you, so we don't need your mother anymore. Did you see your second sister-in-law on the way back?"

"Yes, my second sister-in-law is behind me."

"Where is Sanya?"

"She's at the back too, Mother. Look, my second sister-in-law is coming in, Third Aunt. Sanya won't be here so soon; she'll definitely go to this side room to wash her face before coming over."

Without needing her eldest daughter-in-law's explanation, Liu knew that her eldest daughter-in-law, like her youngest son, would always wash her face and hands before holding the child upon returning home. Often, it wasn't just washing her face and hands; her sixth son, for example, would not only walk a few steps outside, but would also take a bath and change clothes immediately upon returning home to hold the child.

Her son Liulang has been a clean freak since he was little. When he was a little older, she was afraid he would get cold and didn't want him to take a bath, but he wouldn't listen. Now it's even worse. He can't take a bath every other day, even in the dead of winter.

As the old saying goes, simple-minded people often have simple-minded luck.

Otherwise, given how clean her son, Liu Lang, is, if he hadn't married such a good-money-making wife who spoils him, how would he have lived?

"...Now that the father and son have gone out, only Liu Lang is at home. Liu Lang will be back today, right?" Aunt Ma reached out and patted Liu Shi.

Liu was taken aback. She quickly gathered her thoughts and realized that her mother-in-law was talking to her. She subconsciously shook her head and said, "I don't really know."

Got it!
You definitely didn't hear what I was saying, otherwise, wouldn't your own youngest son rush back to see his father and older brother off tomorrow morning? Don't you know that?
Your two sons are so obedient; whatever you say goes. If you hadn't asked your son before he left today, he wouldn't have left without telling you when he'd be back.

Aunt Ma glanced at the cradle that her mother-in-law was facing, and was even more certain that despite her mother-in-law's smiling face, her heart was with her little grandson.

She was about to repeat herself to confirm whether Liu Lang would definitely be back, and if not, what time he would be waiting at the city gate.

If she waited at the city gate, she could send someone to inform her eldest son before the gate closed, so he could go find Liu Lang sooner.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard her boss's loud voice coming from outside.

Why are you here too?

"Is that my dad outside?" Ma Shan, who was holding her son, also heard her father's voice. "Mom, that's my dad outside. I can't go out right now."

Unlike Yuan Ge'er, who is not yet 100 days old and has a small appetite, Xiao Suocheng is much older and has a bigger appetite.

In addition to continuing to breastfeed, they also need to eat complementary foods every day starting from six or seven months old.

Sure enough, less than fifteen minutes after eating his sesame, peanut, and walnut paste, he grabbed his mother's clothes as soon as she picked him up, his little mouth puddling around looking for more food.

Even though Liu knew that her eldest daughter-in-law wasn't calling her "Mother," she still turned around quickly and gestured inside, indicating that her eldest daughter-in-law should take the baby inside to feed her.

Of course, this doesn't mean that her in-laws would barge in recklessly. She was afraid of her grandson's impatient nature; if she was even a little slow, his cries, as if he were starving, would be deafening.

Then, if one cries, the younger one will cry too. Even those without tears will wail, competing to see who can shout the loudest and who can keep going. The other one will never give in and will have to take a break.

One can stop crying once it stops, but when the other starts howling, it's not a matter of stopping it; someone has to take it outside for a walk before it will open its little mouth again.

It's noisy and disruptive.

Hurry up and run inside to let the child speak, or he'll start wailing again!

"Hurry inside, the child is crying from hunger, your mother has gone out, and your father is away from your mother. Come inside quickly."

Ma Shan also saw her mother walk out before she could finish speaking, and by then she was gone, but she could still hear her mother calling her father.

She could tell that her father was still quite far away, otherwise her mother wouldn't have shouted so loudly that "Tiger Girl's father, I'm over here." She guessed that her father-in-law hadn't originally intended to bring her father into the hall.

She probably wanted to pull her father into the study, which was the quietest place in the house where they could have private conversations they didn't want others to hear.

Actually, it wasn't just this study; in the two studies in the front and back yards of the east courtyard where she and her husband lived, if they spoke in a low voice, no one outside could hear what they were saying.
