When Liao Meiyng heard this, her hand holding the spoon trembled.

She shook her head hurriedly, saying, "Mother, I've been so busy tending to Xiu'er, not daring to be distracted for a moment, afraid he might choke. As for what you and Fourth Aunt said, I didn't even get to hear a word! I'm so sorry!"

Tan's expression eased somewhat.

Liu Shi grabbed Liao Meiying's arm and accused her, "Meiying, how could you do this? You're sitting between me and your grandmother. We two living people are talking, and you don't hear a word? That's too fake, isn't it?"

Liao Meiyng and Liu shi, with smiles on their faces, pleaded: "Fourth aunt, I swear to heaven that I didn't hear anything. Please don't make things difficult for me, a junior, okay?"

Liu was so angry that she nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Suddenly, I felt like someone had stabbed me with a soft knife.

Just at this moment, Tan shi spoke proudly again: "No matter if it's Yongxian or Xiuer, they are both pathetic because they didn't have their mother's milk and had to eat rice gruel instead!"

“You have so much breast milk, your four children from the fourth house all grew up eating enough breast milk. How good! Others envy you but can't even catch up. You're saying cold words!”

"Don't get me wrong, Fourth Sister-in-law, you really need to change this petty attitude of yours!"

Liu shi rolled her eyes and exclaimed, “Since your mother's milk is the best, then I guess Xiu’er doesn't need to eat this rice porridge anymore. I'll just ask Yongxian to bring back Li Xiuxin!”

"Don't bother taking it, I brought Xiu Xin back!"

A loud female voice echoed from the backyard, and a middle-aged woman soon appeared before everyone.

Isn't that Li Xiuxin's mother?

Seeing Mrs. Li approach, everyone in the courtyard except Jin shi was taken aback.

Liao Meiying's subordinates instinctively hugged Xiuer in her arms, while Liu shi's eyes flickered and a smirk of schadenfreude curled up on her lips. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated! ?

"Who is this?" Tan asked knowingly.

Before Li's mother could reply, Liu rushed in and said, "Mother, it's Xiu'er's grandmother, the mother-in-law from Li Jia Village."

Tan pulled at the corner of her mouth. "How could I forget that there's still a mother-in-law in Li Jia Village? Besides, Xiu'er's maternal grandmother is from Liao Jia Village, Meiying's biological mother!"

>

Liu pursed her lips, sat aside and kept silent, watching the scene unfold with an air of amusement.

Then Liao Meiying smiled gently, holding Xiu'er up and standing up. She politely addressed Li's mother: "It turns out to be Mrs. Li! Please come this way and sit down. I have the child in my arms, so I can't offer you tea..."

Tan's previous words of squeezing the liquidity, Li's mother heard all of them, but Li's mother walked over with a smile undiminished.

"Meiying, don't be so polite. We're not strangers, no need for all that formality."

When Li's mother spoke, she came to Liao Meiying's side and did not rush to take her child. Instead, she looked at the child and praised her, "Meiying has really put in a lot of effort. Xiu'er has been well raised by you. This little face is so round now. You've worked hard!"

"Liao Meiying smiled faintly: 'Xiu'er is Yongxian's son, naturally he is also my son. It's my duty to take care of my own child, no matter how hard it is.'"

>

Mrs. Li nodded, a look of approval on her face.

"Eternal Fairy has good eyesight, finding a wife like this virtuous and generous one is a blessing for both Lao Yang's family and Xiu Xin and Xiu Er." Li's mother came over and showered praise upon Liao Meiying.

Liao Meiying always smiled gently.

Liu shi on the side was also smiling, sitting and waiting for the storm behind this harmony.

The deaf-mute person from the Jin family can only understand lip movements but cannot speak.

Especially now that there are so many people around, Jin Shi didn't dare to speak, she could only timidly look at...

The mistress of the household, Tan, opened her mouth.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else! ?

“You came here with nothing but flattery. You're like a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken, what are you trying to pull? Everyone knows what's going on.” Said Madam Tan.

"A discerning person doesn't speak in riddles. Your trip here is to return Li Xiuxin, isn't it?" asked Tan Shi again.

Since the topic was brought up directly, Li's mother let go of Liao Meiying and turned her attention to Tan.

"Yes, old woman. I came here today specifically to send Xiu Xin back."

“The young couple is impetuous and doesn't know much. When they have a little disagreement, they run back to her mother’s house. They are also stubborn. I hope you, old lady, will bear with them for the sake of Xiu’er!” Li’s mother said sincerely.

Tan leaned against the stool, smirking. She raised her hand and lifted the small blanket draped over her legs slightly, then opened her mouth slowly.

"Who hasn't had a time when they were young and impetuous, causing a fuss? When couples have a disagreement, one runs back to their parents' house, crying, making a scene, and filing complaints—turning a small matter into a big deal!"

Li Mu nodded repeatedly: "That's right, that's how I taught her too. When we were young, women in the husband's family had to listen to men. That's how it was back then. The saying is, 'Men are heaven and women are earth.'"

Tan said, "Well, you've been in here for so long, and that's all you have to say?"

Liu's gaze shifted and she saw Liao Meiying holding Xiu'er standing there. She snatched the stool behind Liao Meiying and shoved it under Li Mu's bottom.

"Come here, my dear bride, come sit down and talk." Liu said.

Li Mu glanced at the stool, then at Liao Meiyin.

"Liu shi said again, 'Mei Ying, I see you're standing there with Xiu'er in your arms. You probably wouldn't sit down anyway. So I'll give this stool to Xiu Xin niang first. You don't mind, do you?"

Li Meiying smiled and shook her head: "Mrs. Li is a guest, I'm holding Xiu'er in my arms and can't greet others. I should thank Fourth Aunt for helping me greet the guests instead of minding."

After saying that, Liao Meiyin politely addressed Li's mother: "Mrs. Li, please sit down and talk. It's tiring to stand."

Li Mu said, "Then what are you going to do? It's even more tiring to hold Xiu'er. Come, let me take her for a while!"

Liao Meiying shook her head, just about to say "no need," when Li's mother reached out and took Xiu'er over. Then she held him and sat down.

Xiu'er is already four months old, at this age, the child hasn't really learned to recognize people yet.

So Li Mu took it over, and Xiu'er was held by Li Mu, closing her eyes and dozing off.

Liu also pulled her own stool and sat beside Li's mother, inadvertently blocking Liao Meiyng. This meant that if Liao wanted to take the child back, she would have to go around.

It was too much effort to go around, so Liao Meiying could only stand aside and patiently wait.

Li's mother held Xiu'er in her arms and continued chatting with Tan.

Li Mu understood that to get the Yang family to take in Li Xiu Xin, she first needed approval from Tan Shi, the mistress of this household.

So, Mrs. Li continued, "I originally planned to send Xiu Xin back the next day. But after thinking it over carefully, I decided to keep her here and teach her a good lesson."

"Let her fully realize her mistakes so that she can become a virtuous and capable wife and mother in the future."

Tan was pleased and said, “A three-foot ice block is not formed in a day. Your daughter has such a strong competitive spirit. Are you sure you can teach her well and correct her within these six or seven days before sending her back?”

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

"Ai, one bite won't make you fat. I see that she has changed her attitude in the past few days, mainly because she still cares about Xiuer. She can't eat or sleep well," Li's mother said calmly.

"Since we're all mothers, seeing our daughters so eager for their grandchildren, we can't bear to refuse. We just had to reluctantly let her go. In the future, Grandma, you'll have to discipline her more!"

A genius in one second: m.
