Chapter 312: Hurry up and call mom
"Oh, what are you doing? You are pregnant! Let me come, let me come!"
When Yao Meilan saw Luo Huijuan holding a large pile of bowls and chopsticks in her hands, her heart suddenly tightened, and she hurriedly walked forward and spoke.
As she said this, she stretched out her hand helplessly, trying to take the dishes and chopsticks, but Luo Huijuan dodged them.
"It's okay, Mom. I've already told you, I'm not that delicate!"
After saying that, Luo Huijuan ignored Yao Meilan's ugly expression and walked around Yao Meilan and went out.
Seeing this situation, Li Dawei couldn't help but glare at Yao Meilan, then he stood up angrily and sat down on the edge of the bed.
Luo Guofu, Zhao Qiuyan and others also sensed the gunpowder in the air and hurriedly stood up to help clean up the dishes.
Seeing this, Yao Meilan did not try to stop him. Instead, she frowned and walked to sit next to Li Dawei with a sullen face.
In fact, she hadn't thought so much about it before. She just felt that since Luo Guofu had so many sisters-in-law, it was her duty to help take care of Zhao Qiuyan.
As a result, she didn't expect that Luo Huijuan would be so dissatisfied, and even blamed her openly and secretly for pampering Zhao Qiuyan too much.
This made her feel a little angry, but also made her realize that her behavior seemed a little too much.
Since even her own daughter is like this, one can imagine how much dissatisfaction Li Guoqiang, Shang Xiuzhen and others would have with her.
Soon, Luo Guofu and Zhao Qiuyan cleaned up the table, then walked out together with the plates and other things, and just happened to meet Luo Huijuan at the door.
"sister"
"Okay, it's getting late now, put the plates in the kitchen and go back quickly!"
Luo Huijuan looked at Luo Guofu's anxious face and Zhao Qiuyan's nervous face, her heart softened slightly, and she waved her hand and spoke.
"Got it!"
Luo Guofu felt slightly relieved when he heard this, then nodded quickly and agreed, then took Zhao Qiuyan to put the things into the kitchen.
Then, without staying for too long, or even saying hello to Li Dawei and Yao Meilan, he directly took Zhao Qiuyan and left the courtyard.
In fact, he didn't intentionally stop Zhao Qiuyan from cleaning up the dishes, but he just didn't think about it in this way at all.
If Luo Huijuan and Yao Meilan hadn't done this in front of him, he wouldn't have realized what mistake he had made.
Zhao Qiuyan also didn't mean to not clean up the dishes. She just ate too much and wanted to take a break before cleaning up.
As a result, while resting, she became so absorbed in being with Luo Guofu that she forgot about everything.
Otherwise, even if she had ten times the courage, she would not dare to let Luo Huijuan clean the dishes with a big belly!
Fortunately, Luo Huijuan did not blame her and asked her to go back with Luo Guofu, which made her feel more at ease. At least she didn't have to worry about being suddenly killed by Li Guoqiang.
Just as she and Luo Guofu rushed back to the old Luo's house to continue digging the well, Li Dawei sat in the house for a long time, and finally couldn't help but lecture Yao Meilan: "Lanzi, how can I say you? How can you let Xiaojuan come in alone to collect the dishes?
What if something unexpected happens? "
"I"
Yao Meilan glared, then said in a somewhat indignant defense: "I didn't do it on purpose. I just wanted Xiuzhen and the others to come over and help collect the dishes, but as soon as I mentioned it to Xiaojuan, she ran in and collected the dishes.
Moreover, she was blaming me for being too nice to Qiuyan. She just had that thing with Xiaofu. Am I not worried that she would get tired? "
"okay!"
When Li Dawei heard this, he couldn't help but waved his hand in annoyance and said, "I don't believe you don't know what the problem is now? Is this a problem of being tired? This is simply a problem of attitude.
Think about it carefully. Ever since you knew Xiaojuan was pregnant, what have you considered or done for her?
Moreover, not only do you not take good care of Xiaojuan, but you also put all your attention on Qiuyan, the daughter-in-law who has not yet married into the family.
It’s like the big table of dishes you cooked tonight are better than what we eat during the Chinese New Year.
Not to mention, all those good things were brought back from outside by Qiangzi.
You took these things out to entertain that girl Qiuyan without even telling Qiangzi and Xiaojuan. How do you want them to see you?
In my opinion, they are probably already thinking about whether you will just give all the good things in your home to Xiaofu and Qiuyan in the future. "
"I"
The more Yao Meilan listened, the uglier her expression became. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know how to say it.
After all, she was indeed a little too biased and did not consider the feelings of Li Guoqiang, Luo Huijuan and others at all. No wonder Luo Huijuan had pointed words at her before.
Fortunately, Luo Huijuan is her biological daughter. If she was married from outside, she would probably have a fight with her on the spot!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly, then turned her head to look at Li Dawei and asked softly, "So what do you think I should do now?"
"Easy to handle!"
Li Dawei felt relieved when he saw that Yao Meilan had understood her mistakes, and then he said hurriedly, "Go and talk to Xiaojuan later. She is a good kid and should be able to understand you.
As for Qiangzi, since he didn't say anything, you shouldn't talk to him about this, so as to avoid making things worse.
In addition, since you have already acknowledged Xiuzhen and Fengxia as your daughters-in-law, you should find an opportunity to talk to them properly and don’t let them think that you have a problem with them.”
"Fine!"
Yao Meilan hesitated for a moment after hearing what Li Dawei said, then nodded and agreed, "Then I'll go talk to Xiaojuan right away."
After saying that, she stood up and walked out in a hurry.
In her opinion, whether for the sake of family harmony or for Li Guoqiang and Luo Huijuan to take better care of Luo Guofu in the future, she must find a way to solve this problem.
Otherwise, she would be stuck in the middle and it would be difficult for her to live her life.
However, when she walked to the kitchen door and was about to call Luo Huijuan out, she was suddenly shocked by the scene in front of her.
At this time, Luo Huijuan was sitting on a stool, leaning her back in Shang Xiuzhen's arms, enjoying the massage from Shen Fengxia and Pan Qiaoyan with a look of satisfaction on her face.
If you don’t know her, you might think she is the young lady of some wealthy family!
Then, Yao Meilan came to her senses and saw Xu Yuying, Wu Zhaodi and others huddled together to wash dishes in a basin. They were so attentive and well-behaved that she, as a mother-in-law, couldn't help but feel a little sour, as if she had eaten a dozen lemons. She had worked hard for this family for most of her life, and now she had to worry about her children's marriage.
And Luo Huijuan, who had just gotten married for a short time, had already started living a life of being served by others. In comparison, she was completely different from her.
I don’t know how this girl was able to train these beautiful girls to be so obedient.
It's no wonder that Luo Huijuan allowed Li Guoqiang to do such a thing.
As she was thinking about it, Yao Meilan suddenly thought, if she broke up with Shang Xiuzhen and others, would she also be able to enjoy the filial piety of so many daughters-in-law?
Thinking of this, her eyes lit up slightly, and then she hurriedly walked in, not forgetting to shout.
"Xiaojuan!"
"Um! Mom, why are you here?"
Luo Huijuan opened her eyes when she heard the voice, and then asked with some confusion.
"that."
Yao Meilan pursed her lips, then said awkwardly, "Mom came here to tell you that I was wrong tonight and did things without thinking. Please don't take it to heart."
"fine!"
Hearing this, Luo Huijuan hurriedly shook her head and said, "Mom, we don't blame you, but we think that your pampering of Xiaofu and Qiuyan is not good for them, and it is easy for them to develop the habit of seeking pleasure.
Besides, Qiuyan hasn't even married yet! You're already holding her in your hands, so when she does marry, you'll have to worship her!
If this gets out, people will think you married a little ancestor to Xiaofu!"
"Yes Yes Yes!"
Yao Meilan was slightly startled when she heard this, then she nodded quickly and said, "I didn't think it through. Your father has already scolded me. I promise I won't do it again in the future."
She didn't need to be so polite with Luo Huijuan. After all, they were mother and daughter. However, in front of Shang Xiuzhen, Shen Fengxia and other daughters-in-law, she had to act like a good mother-in-law, so that they would not disown her as a mother-in-law in the future.
After saying that, she turned her gaze to Shang Xiuzhen, Shen Fengxia and the others, then said with a laugh, "Besides, I already know everything about you and Qiangzi.
Since you are willing to put yourself in a difficult position and live with Qiangzi, then you can stay in this home peacefully from now on, and I will treat you the same way I treat Xiaojuan."
Hearing this, Shang Xiuzhen, Shen Fengxia and others were slightly delighted, and then they all turned their heads to look at Luo Huijuan, waiting for the eldest lady to speak.
Seeing this, Luo Huijuan was delighted and quickly reminded them, "Why are you looking at me? Hurry up and call me mom!"
"mom!"
"mom!"
"."
Soon, Shang Xiuzhen, Shen Fengxia and others took turns shouting.
After hearing this, Yao Meilan smiled so hard that her eyebrows were not visible.
After all, if we put aside worldly rules, what parents in this world would complain that they have too many daughters-in-law?
Then, she hurriedly walked forward, held the hands of Shang Xiuzhen and others, and asked about their well-being for a while. At the same time, she also reminded them to keep a low profile and never let outsiders know their true relationship with Li Guoqiang.
Then, she thought about it, and suddenly thought of a very thorny problem. She quickly pulled Luo Huijuan aside and asked in a low voice, "Xiaojuan, you are pregnant now, and I guess they will be pregnant soon. What are you and Qiangzi going to do with them? You can't let them walk around in front of outsiders with big bellies, right?"
"mom!"
Luo Huijuan smiled slightly after hearing this, and then explained softly: "Qiangzi has already made plans for this matter. If any of them gets pregnant, he will let her return to the countryside to recuperate and wait for the birth of the baby. He will tell others that they have already married someone in the city."
"This"
Yao Meilan frowned, then asked doubtfully, "Will this work?"
"Don't worry!"
Hearing this, Luo Huijuan hurriedly spoke to comfort him, "When the time comes, we will ask Qiangzi's uncle to find someone to help get a marriage certificate. With a marriage certificate, we don't have to worry about people getting suspicious."
"That"
When Yao Meilan heard this answer, she thought of how Li Guoqiang had always been very prudent in his work, so she could only nod and agree, "Okay then! Since you have already made your plans, I won't worry about it so much."
After saying this, she saw that it was getting late and didn't stay in the kitchen for long. She quickly went back to her room and told Li Dawei about this.
Li Dawei was stunned when he heard this, then he nodded quickly and praised, "Yes, yes, yes, if you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten about such an important matter! Fortunately, you asked them now, otherwise it would be bad if something went wrong at the last minute."
As he spoke, his mind could not help but emerge the scene of Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others, each with several children, taking turns to kowtow to him and wish him a happy new year during the Chinese New Year. A gleam of longing instantly blossomed in his eyes.
If this can really be achieved, then his life will be worth it.
When Yao Meilan saw Li Dawei's expression, she immediately guessed what he was thinking, and couldn't help but remind him, "Hey, you may be happy, but don't forget that Xiaofu is also your son. You have to pay attention to his marriage."
"Of course!"
When Li Dawei heard what Yao Meilan said, he nodded hurriedly and agreed, "Don't worry, I will go to Xiaofu's grandfather tomorrow morning to discuss Xiaofu and Qiuyan's marriage and try to come up with a plan as soon as possible.
In addition, in addition to the money that Qiangzi brought back, our family still has five or six hundred yuan, which can be used to buy some things for Xiaofu.
As for the banquet, let Qiangzi arrange it. Ask him to bring back some delicious dishes to ensure that you don't lose face."
"to make!"
Seeing that Li Dawei had already made plans, Yao Meilan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then let's do as you said. It would be best if Xiaofu and Qiuyan's wedding could be done before Qiangzi goes to the countryside next time, so as to avoid delaying it and causing gossip."
After saying that, she hurriedly got up and rummaged through the tickets she had saved, intending to buy two new sets of clothes for Luo Guofu and Zhao Qiuyan.
