Chapter 265 Aunt Zhang's Family
After hearing what Aunt Zhang said, Mrs. Zhang smiled gently, with a glint of relief in her eyes:
"Mom, I really should have listened to you earlier. When I was a girl, I was used to being patient, thinking that everything would pass if I just endured it. But after going to the chicken farm and spending a long time with Xiao Nian, I found that girl never kept anything to herself.
If someone accuses her of gossiping, she'll retort immediately, regardless of what others might think of her. Even if she doesn't like something, she'll just go with her own gut."
Mrs. Zhang couldn't help laughing when she said this: "At first, I thought Xiao Nian was being too impulsive. After all, she still has to live with her two younger brothers in the team.
But then I thought about it carefully. Xiao Nian is smart and powerful, so why should she have to endure other people's bullying? Just like now, although there are still people in the team who gossip about her, they only dare to say it behind her back. No one dares to say a word to Xiao Nian's face.
When Aunt Zhang heard what Mrs. Zhang said, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she felt more relieved.
She really didn't expect that her eldest daughter-in-law, who had always kept her farts to herself, could actually say such words.
"Yingdi, I'm relieved that you think this way. It seems that my decision to let you work with Xiaonian was right. I'm very relieved that you are like this now, and I don't have to worry about your family members causing trouble anymore." Aunt Zhang said with emotion.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhang smiled even more brightly. She knew that her mother-in-law had always been kind to her. Although she had always been unable to get anything out of her in the past, her mother-in-law had never disliked her.
"Mom, being your daughter-in-law is truly a blessing for me. I'm not afraid of them causing trouble again. Xiao Nian once said that family is one's confidence. You, my father, Chun Tao's father, and Hong Yan are all my confidence."
Mrs. Zhang took Aunt Zhang's hand and whispered the gratitude she had always felt in her heart. It was the first time that Mrs. Zhang said such tender words, and she was obviously a little unnatural.
Aunt Zhang's eyes reddened slightly as she listened to Aunt Zhang's words. She held Aunt Zhang's hand tightly, her voice choking with sobs:
"Xiao Nian is right, Brother Ying, our entire family is your support."
Chuntao saw that her grandmother and her mother both began to wipe away their tears, and she took out the dead snake at the right time.
The long snake tail suddenly hung in front of the two of them, scaring the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were still wiping their tears.
I only heard Aunt Zhang exclaiming, "Yingdi, there is a snake, bring some tools!" After saying that, she tried to move the bench back.
"Grandma, don't be afraid. This snake is dead."
Chuntao's voice came from above Aunt Zhang's head, and as she spoke, she shook the dead snake in her hand.
Chuntao's words stunned both Aunt Zhang San and Mrs. Zhang. They looked carefully and found that the snake was hanging limply and had no life at all.
Mrs. Zhang patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "You kid, you suddenly brought a dead snake in front of your grandma and me, and you weren't afraid of scaring your grandma."
Aunt Zhang San also burst into laughter and gently hit Chun Tao: "You clever little thing, when did you catch the snake? And you want to use it to tease me and your mother."
Chun Tao giggled and explained, "Grandma, I didn't catch this snake. Sister Nian Nian brought it to me this morning. Oh, and here's this!"
Chuntao said this, stuffing the snake in her hand into Aunt Zhang's hand, then ran back to the kitchen and took out the fish.
"And this fish was also sent by Sister Nian Nian. Sister Nian Nian said that you must be exhausted from the autumn harvest, so she sent it to you to stew it for nourishment." Chun Tao explained.
Aunt Zhang looked at the dead snake in her hand and the fish brought by Chuntao, and felt an indescribable emotion in her heart.
She looked up at her sons who were waiting for her to eat under the eaves, and couldn't help but say with disdain, "I told you, raising a son is not as caring as raising a daughter!"
Aunt Zhang's words stunned the sons. They looked at each other, somewhat at a loss.
The eldest son, Zhang Huairen, scratched his head and said with a simple smile, "Mom, what you said is true. We have a lot of work to do in the fields..."
When the younger son Zhang Huaifei heard what his elder brother said, he was shocked. Isn't his brother adding fuel to the fire?
He quickly interrupted, "Mom, don't listen to Big Brother. Once the autumn harvest is over, I'll go down to the river to fish for you, and go up the mountain to catch chickens for you. I'll nourish you well."
"By the time you catch these chickens and fish, I, your mother, will be so hungry that I will faint on the kang and won't be able to get up." After saying this, Aunt Zhang San carried the snake and walked into the kitchen with her hands behind her back.
Zhang Huaifei was a little dissatisfied after hearing this. He followed Aunt Zhang into the kitchen and said, "Mom, you won't faint from hunger on the kang. I will definitely find you something to eat before you faint from hunger!"
Aunt Zhang smiled when she heard this. She knew that her sons were all filial, but she just liked to tease them and wanted them to know how good Xiao Nian was to their family.
"Alright, alright, hurry up and bring the dishes out and get ready to eat!"
Aunt Zhang San brought a large pot of boiled vegetables to Zhang Huaifei. Seeing that his mother was smiling again, Zhang Huaifei felt at ease to bring the dishes out.
At the dinner table, the only sound was the family drinking porridge.
Aunt Zhang raised her eyes and caught a glimpse of the little movements of her second son Zhang Huaiyi and his second daughter-in-law. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Huaiyi, what are you two doing?"
When Zhang Huaiyi was asked this by Aunt Zhang San, he quickly responded: "Mom, ask Hongyan yourself." After that, he buried his head in the bowl and continued to drink porridge.
The second daughter-in-law patted Zhang Huaiyi on the back, then looked up at Aunt Zhang with a smile:
"Mom, I was just telling Chunlin's dad that every time Shen Zhiqing gave our family something, although he said it was for you, in the end you always cooked it and fed it to our whole family.
I just told my second brother that Mr. Shen Zhiqing often sends gifts to our family, so is there anything we can do to help him?
Everyone subconsciously put down their bowls and chopsticks when they heard her words. Only Zhang Huaiyi was still slurping the food in his bowl.
Seeing this, Wang Hongyan could no longer bear it and reached out and slapped him hard on the back.
"Hey, why are you filming me...?"
Zhang Huaiyi looked up in dissatisfaction, but saw that everyone at the table was staring at him, so he quickly swallowed what was in his mouth.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Aunt Zhang shook her head helplessly. She was not capable of educating her son, but fortunately she had a good eye for daughters-in-law. Both of them had their own strengths and could control these brats.
"Dad, grandma and I are thinking about what we can do to help Sister Nian Nian." Chunlin, who was sitting at the children's table next to him, quickly reminded his father.
"Oh, so that's the case. Then I have to think about it." Zhang Huaiyi scratched his hair a little embarrassedly, and Wang Hongyan couldn't help but patted him again.
