As soon as Ms. Liu ate a piece of scrambled eggs with mushrooms and chopsticks, she started talking.

"Why did Liao Meiying suddenly return to her parents' home? Is there something going on at her parents' home?" Madam Liu asked curiously.

Li Xiuxin didn't say anything. She just took a bowl of egg custard and fed Xiu'er in small mouthfuls. She left the gossip to Mother Li.

"I heard that my mother-in-law was sick, so I went back to take a look because I was worried," Mother Li said.

Mrs. Liu said: "I see, then when will you come back this time?"

Mother Li shook her head, "I didn't say this, but I picked up a few clothes and took them with me when I left. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back today!"

"What about Yongxian? Will he come back today? Will he stay with her in the Liao family?" Mrs. Liu asked again.

Li's mother said: "I don't know, let them do whatever they want. To be honest, the Liao family is his real father-in-law's family. If he wants to stay there, we can't say anything, right?"

"Come on, his fourth aunt, there's nothing good for you here. Eat an extra piece of egg and an extra piece of bacon."

Mother Li gave Mr. Liu a chopstick of eggs and two pieces of bacon.

The bacon is cut into a thick and juicy piece, with half fat and thin. It is steamed on the rice pot when cooking, and a few drops of sesame oil are added before serving. It is particularly fragrant.

Mrs. Liu ate two pieces of such steamed bacon in one bite, smashed it in her mouth and gave Li Xiuxin a thumbs up: "Xiu Xin's cooking skills are undoubtedly much more delicious than Liao Meiying's cooking."

"I estimate that if Liao Meiying went back to her parents' home, she wouldn't dare to say whether her mother was sick or not. She would most likely go back to her parents' family for advice."

"What's your idea? What's your idea? Should you drive my daughter away or drive me away?" Mother Li said.

"I'm not bothering her by staying here. I'm here to take care of my daughter and my grandson. When it comes to taking care of the children, I'm here to help her share the burden." Mother Li said again.

Mrs. Liu curled her lips and said, "Let me see, it's probably because she is envious of Xiuxin and she is pregnant again, and she is like a hen in her own stable that only eats food but cannot lay eggs. If she is anxious, go back to her mother-in-law and sister-in-law for advice.

Already."

"This kind of thing has to be left to chance. Could it be that her mother's family could force Yongxian to stay in the Liao family and sleep with Liao Meiying to have a baby?" Li Xiu felt ashamed and shook her head.

"Come on, Xiu'er, let's continue eating. My Xiu'er is so good this time. He's eaten more than half of the bowl of egg custard!"

Seeing Xiu'er eating with egg foam all around her mouth, Li Xiuxin smiled from the corner of her eyes to the tip of her eyebrows.

Taking out the handkerchief and gently wiping the corners of Xiu'er's mouth, he continued: "If she could have given birth, she would have been pregnant long ago. As for waiting until now? Yongxian is in her room twenty days a month. She

, destined to be an old hen guarding an empty nest!"

Mrs. Liu returned to the backyard after eating and drinking. Li Xiuxin sat with Xiu'er in her arms, sucking her milk to put her to sleep, while Mother Li was washing pots and dishes.

The house of Yang Yongzhi and Zhao Liuer across the street was locked. The family of four went to Zhao Liuer's parents' house on the eighth day of the first lunar month and would probably have to stay until early February before returning.

Yang Yongbai and his wife had been living in the old Yang family at the south end of the village and could hardly come over, while Yang Yongqing was sent to the backyard with his silly wife.

Jin is a deaf-mute, so Fu'er doesn't even need to treat him as a human being. A brat in his teens who acts like a mute is nothing.

So Li Xiuxin gently closed the door of the kitchen and talked to Li's mother in a low voice. They were still talking about Liao Meiying returning to her parents' house to move reinforcements.

"Her mother will definitely find a doctor to see her. In Lao Yang's house, she didn't dare to see the doctor for this matter, for fear of being criticized, so she secretly hid back at her parents' house for treatment," Li Xiu thought to herself.

Mother Li squinted her eyes while washing the pot, "This is not something that can be cured by just going back and staying for three to five days."

Li Xiu thought to herself: "Look, mother, when I come back, I will definitely not dare to bring back large and small packages of medicinal materials to be cooked. Most of the time I will only dare to bring back pills to swallow."

Mother Li said: "We can't sit still and wait for death. If we really wait for her to get pregnant and give birth to the child, your advantage will be gone."

Li Xiuxin twitched her lips: "So, mother, please take the time to go back to Lijia Village in the past two days and see what you can do for my good sister."

When Li's mother was young, the most important thing she did at her parents' home was to help her mother collect medicinal materials. Her mother was a well-known female doctor in the local area and had the most experience in treating women's infertility.

Originally, I wanted to pass the mantle to Li's mother, but it turned out that Li's mother was not interested in that area and couldn't learn it. She was exhausted and just learned a few herbs in that area and memorized some pharmacology.

When Li Xiuxin was pregnant with Xiu'er, she almost had a miscarriage several times, but it was only with the help of Li's mother that she was able to survive.

So now that she is pregnant with her second child, Mother Li has to be by her side to take care of her.

"Don't worry, Xiu Xin. I'll take the time to go back tomorrow. It just so happens that your brother is going to school in Qingshui Town tomorrow. I'll go back and pack his clothes and shoes." Mother Li said with a half-smile.

"It seems that I have to live with you until you have a baby, and there is no one to take care of the chickens and ducks at home. Then I will catch all the chickens and ducks at home and make chicken soup for your sister Meiying to nourish your body!"

The mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled, reaching a tacit understanding.

When Yang Yongxian came to Yang Huazhong to return the carriage, the sun was almost setting.

Sun and Bao Suyun were sitting together chatting, while Yang Ruoqing and Xiaohua were standing by.

"How many days will Mei Ying stay at her parents' house?" asked Sun.

Yang Yongxian said: "Yes, it is said that my mother-in-law is not in good health and she wants to stay with her for a few more days to show her filial piety."

Ms. Sun nodded and asked, "What's wrong with your mother-in-law? Is it okay?"

Yang Yongxian was startled for a moment, and then said with some embarrassment: "Because it was afternoon, I didn't go in. I dropped Mei Ying off at the entrance of the village and came back by myself."

Mrs. Sun was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly.

This son-in-law is really...

"Gululu..."

Yang Yongxian's belly suddenly sang, and his face turned red.

Sun said: "I must not have had lunch. Just wait, I will cook you a bowl of noodles."

Yang Yongxian waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't bother Third Aunt, we're about to cook dinner for dinner, I'll eat together at night."

After saying these words, Yang Yongxian left quickly.

When he walked away, Bao Suyun was a little surprised.

"I was talking to Mei Ying two days ago and talked about her mother. Mei Ying also said that her mother had always been in the best health and could not get sick twice a year. Why did she suddenly get sick?" Bao Suyun said.

Mrs. Sun shook her head: "I'm getting sick like a mountain. Maybe I'll feel uncomfortable after eating a bowl of cold rice or drinking a few sips of cold tea. You can't say for sure."

"Mom, fifth aunt, my sister-in-law and sister-in-law Xiuxin had a quarrel last night. I heard that my cousin wanted to divorce sister-in-law Xiuxin in a rage." Xiaohua said suddenly.

"What's going on?" asked Sun.
