Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 72 Sister-in-law Xu
Xinyi was very happy, but the candy that her aunt had asked her grandfather to bring back last time was something that her grandfather said was not available in town and was very expensive in the county town, so she was reluctant to share it with her friends.

Oh well, her aunt already gave the instructions. If she knew she wouldn't listen, her aunt would definitely be angry. She'd better go back and get two pieces so they can each take a little bit.

The carriage stopped in front of the Xu family's house.

The three sons of the Xu family did not separate from the family, and since Xu's father was also the head of the village, he made all the major decisions in the family.

The Xu family has a large courtyard, all enclosed by blue bricks, making them one of the few relatively wealthy families in Xujia Village.

The yard is very large; you can't see the bottom from the outside.

Xinyi jumped off the carriage and explained, "Grandpa and the others have gone to the fields. I reckon only Aunt and my eldest sister are at home."

She turned around to help Gu Yunyi with her things, but then noticed that the spot on the carriage shaft where she had been sitting was covered in mud. Feeling a little embarrassed, she said to the driver, "Uncle, I'm so sorry. I'll definitely wash it clean for you later."

The coachman was a kind man who lived not far from the Gu family's restaurant. He had also driven Gu Yunyi to the prefectural city this time, so they were quite familiar with each other. Of course, he wouldn't mind such things, since his little granddaughter was just like that, very mischievous, like a tomboy, and just like her.

He smiled and patted Xinyi's head: "It's alright, it's alright, I can wash it myself later."

Xinyi smiled a little shyly. Although Xinyi was a tomboy, she was still a girl after all.

Turning around, a man dressed in a brocade robe stepped down from the carriage.

Xinyi was stunned.

She sat on the carriage shaft for a while, preoccupied with talking to Xu Qingmeng, completely unaware that there was another person in the carriage.

He wore a dark green robe, the hem of which swayed in the wind. He had a handsome face, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, a straight nose, and a faint smile on his lips. He exuded a gentle and refined yet dashing air.

Xin Yi was stunned. Although everyone in the Xu family was good-looking, he looked like he had stepped out of a painting.

Xu Qingmeng chuckled and pinched her cheek: "This is your uncle, quickly greet him."

Xinyi then came to her senses and asked with wide eyes, "Auntie, how did Uncle agree to marry you?"

Gu Yunyi almost burst out laughing.

Xu Qingmeng was extremely embarrassed and slapped her on the back, saying, "You really know how to bring up the wrong thing. Hurry up and open the door."

Upon hearing this, Xinyi immediately opened the door and ran into the yard, shouting as she ran, "Auntie, Big Sister, Auntie is back, and she's brought along an uncle who looks like he stepped out of a painting!"

Gu Yunyi's face turned red instantly. If it were Yun Sheng, he would probably grab her and beat her up.

When Xu Qing dreamt of Gu Yunyi like that, she couldn't help but laugh.

Gu Yunyi's face turned even redder, and he quickly went to the carriage to take out the things he had brought.

Once the goods were unloaded, the driver led the horse to graze.

Upon hearing Xinyi's words, Sister-in-law Xu hurriedly came out of the house and saw Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi already standing in the courtyard.

"Little sister?" Although Sister-in-law Xu already knew from the head of the family that Xu Qingmeng had lost a lot of weight, she didn't expect her to have lost this much weight.

"Sister-in-law, I'm back." Xu Qingmeng greeted her with a smile and gave her a big hug.

Sister-in-law Xu's eyes immediately reddened, but since it was her new son-in-law's first visit, she held back her tears and patted Xu Qingmeng's back, saying, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. You've lost so much weight. This time you're back, you must make sure to nourish yourself properly." Xu Qingmeng's mother passed away not long after she was born, and she was practically raised by Sister-in-law Xu, who had just married into the Xu family. She was loved by the four men in the Xu family and spoiled by Sister-in-law Xu. As a child, Xu Qingmeng was very well-behaved, but a serious illness turned her into the person she became later.

"Sister-in-law, it's my fault. I should have come back sooner."

"Good, good." Sister-in-law Xu laughed, then turned around and saw Gu Yunyi behind her, her eyes immediately lighting up.

Even though she had heard from her husband and father-in-law that Meng'er had found a good husband and even passed the imperial examination with top honors, she had never met him and didn't know if he was good to her.

Now, just seeing people standing there quietly, their eyes filled with dreams, makes me feel truly content.

She released Xu Qingmeng, then took her hand and said, "This must be Yunyi. I heard my father-in-law and the head of the household mention you the other day. Well, our Meng'er is blessed."

"Sister-in-law, you flatter me. It has been many days since the wedding and I have not yet visited your home. I apologize to you." Gu Yunyi bowed deeply.

Sister-in-law Xu quickly said, "No, no, we're all family, there's no need to be so formal. Are you feeling better? Studying is hard work, come in and sit down, you must be tired from the journey."

As he spoke, he beckoned Gu Yunyi into the house.

Xu Qingmeng stood there, her face full of confusion. Didn't her sister-in-law say she missed her? She'd only missed her for a short while?
Xinyi burst into laughter, while Xinwan covered her mouth, unable to suppress her chuckle. She couldn't help but add at the end, "Auntie, my mother talks about Uncle almost every day at home. Aren't you jealous?"

"Haven't seen you for days, little girl, you've grown bolder, daring to laugh at your aunt for not wanting candy anymore?"

The two children immediately quieted down: "Eat!"

"Hurry up and get to work." Xu Qingmeng directed the two of them to pick up the things on the ground.

"Yes." The two children immediately beamed with joy.

The eldest sister-in-law of the Xu family was talking inside the house, mostly about Xu Qingmeng's childhood.

The arrival of distinguished guests at the Xu family's home quickly spread throughout the entire Xu family village.

Upon receiving the news, the Xu family members rushed home, with the second sister-in-law, who was visiting other relatives, arriving even faster.

My sister-in-law used to be spoiled by the Xu family and her older sister-in-law, and she was greedy and selfish. Who knew that she would become a different person after getting married?

No matter who goes to the county town, they will never come back empty-handed.

It contained mutton and pork, as well as cakes, pastries, and braised meat.
Everyone in the family ate heartily, their mouths brimming with oil, even more so than during the Chinese New Year.

Thinking about what gifts her sister-in-law would bring this time, and how to squeeze more of them to take back to her parents' home, she quickened her pace.

As soon as my second sister-in-law entered the door, her eyes widened, and she thought to herself, "This sister-in-law is really lucky."

In the past, she was pampered by several men in the Xu family. When she got married, she had a wild idea and set her sights on Gu Yunyi from this county town, and she actually succeeded.

"Oh, this must be your brother-in-law! He's so handsome and dashing!" Second Sister-in-law smiled as she looked Gu Yunyi up and down, praising him incessantly.

Gu Yunyi responded with a smile, polite and proper. Xu Qingmeng looked at her second sister-in-law's enthusiasm and chuckled inwardly. Her second sister-in-law was still the same as ever, unable to resist good things.
