Chapter 206: It's so good
Shen's mother, Shen Xiuxiu, and her sister-in-law hurried out to look at the door. They saw that the two were almost at the door, so they felt relieved. The third son's wife was pregnant with two babies, so they had to be careful.
Liu Ying was still at home brushing the snow off the three brothers Dabao. After that, the three children went into the house to play with the four siblings Damei.
"Mom, aunt, please go into the house quickly and don't get wet here," he said to Shen's mother and aunt who were standing at the door, helping Xiao Baoer walk to the door of the old house.
"It's okay, it's okay, Mr. Sanjia. Why are you out snowing so heavily?" Shen's mother said worriedly.
"Mom, I'm bored at home too. Let Zhensheng help me out for a walk. Let's go home first."
When they returned home, they found that cakes were already being steamed in the kitchen. Shen's father had already added more firewood and they were currently steaming the cakes.
The Shen family members all went to the main room, where the cotton-padded clothes and cotton shoes brought by Shen Laoer and Shen Laowu were placed on the table.
"Dad, Mom, and aunt, these are the cotton-padded clothes and cotton-padded shoes that my wife asked me to ask someone to buy from the county. Each of you three should get a cotton-padded clothes and a pair of cotton-padded shoes. This winter is too cold, don't freeze to death."
Shen Zhensheng gave the coats to the three of them. Shen's father was so happy when he touched the coats. The fabric was so good, and it was thicker than the coat his wife had made for him before.
Although Shen's mother was happy that her son and daughter-in-law were filial, she also felt sorry for her son spending money. How much money would it take to buy these things?
"Third brother, how much money will this cost? You two still have to raise a child, so don't spend money recklessly," Shen's mother thought about it and had to give the young couple a warning.
"Mom, I asked an acquaintance to buy it from the county. He has connections and a lot of face, so he was given a very low price. You must not leave it alone. Wear it in the next two days. It won't be worth it if you get frozen."
Aunt Shen put it on the table and said, "Third brother, third brother's wife, I can't accept it. I'm causing trouble to the family by living with your parents. How can I let you buy things for me?"
Xiao Baoer asked Shen Zhensheng to give the things to her aunt again, and then said to Shen, "Aunt, take it. Everyone in our family has it, but you can't be the only one without it. After you get out of that sea of suffering, you will have a good life. Relax."
Shen's mother also said, "His aunt, you take it. The third brother and his wife are thinking about us old people, so you take it. You don't have any thick clothes since you came back from there. Change into them later and don't get cold."
Aunt Shen could only accept it with embarrassment, thinking that she had some money in her pocket and she should put more money in the three red envelopes for Dabao and his brothers during the New Year.
"Aunt, if you are willing, you can come to my old yard to sew clothes. It is now managed by Aunt Song Yun. I will give her a heads up if you are willing," said Xiao Baoer.
She had previously asked Shen's mother about her aunt's handicraft work. Shen's mother spoke very highly of it, saying that her aunt could not only sew clothes, but also learned the skills of embroidery and knitting sweaters from her grandmother. Only her aunt's skills could compare with her grandmother's.
"I was thinking it would be embarrassing to trouble you, so I asked your aunt to make the cakes with me and your second sister-in-law, and I will give your aunt a share of the money later," said Shen's mother.
"Mom, my aunt has such great needlework skills, and she can embroider and knit sweaters. I have to win my aunt away from you. After I give birth to the baby, I plan to develop the clothing business, and I need my aunt in many ways," Xiao Baoer said with a smile, wanting to let Aunt Shen know that her return would be a great help.
Aunt Shen burst into tears when she heard this. She had suffered so much in the Zhao family for not giving birth to a son. She was called a hen that couldn't lay eggs and a waste. But no one in her natal family despised her. Instead, her niece-in-law said that she had come back to help.
Shen's mother smiled and joked, "Look at you, why are you crying? You are such a loser. Since the third daughter-in-law needs your help, then go. But you have to help my daughter-in-law a little more."
Aunt Shen wiped away her tears and said, "Look at what you said, sister-in-law. How can I not contribute? I will do everything I can. Third daughter-in-law, do you want me to teach you how to embroider?"
"Little aunt, before I give birth, you should go and sew clothes with everyone else. I will then look for a few people in the village who are clever and can calm down and learn. When the time comes, let them learn from you. They will be of great use to me."
Without hesitation, Aunt Shen agreed and said that she would go over to sew clothes the next day. Xiao Baoer also agreed to go to the village to find a suitable person after a few days.
Xiao Baoer also asked Shen Zhensheng to give all the cotton shoes for Shen Laoer's family to Liu Ying, "Second sister-in-law, you and second brother have helped us a lot and contributed to this family. I didn't buy you cotton clothes, but there is one pair of cotton shoes for each of you in the family, Xiuxiu and Laowu, and you two should also have a pair each.
Second sister-in-law's shoes are the same as Xiuxiu's, but the color is different. These cotton shoes are more comfortable to wear."
Liu Ying knew that Xiao Baoer was a man of his word, so she thanked Xiao Baoer and took the shoes. When the four children in the family saw the new cotton shoes, they jumped for joy and thanked their uncle and aunt one by one.
"Damei, look, this is the new schoolbag that Third Aunt gave you. You must study hard when you go to school after the New Year. You used to protect your brother all day long, and Third Aunt remembers it all."
Damei looked at the beautiful new schoolbag and was so happy that she almost cried, "Thank you, Aunt San. I will study hard."
Several people were sitting in the room talking, and Shen Zhensheng asked, "Aunt, do grandparents know you're back?"
Aunt Shen nodded, "I know. I got up this morning and went to your uncle's house with your father. Your grandparents are very happy that I can leave that wolf's den. They want me to live a good life in the future and not live a life that is not like a human being anymore."
Shen Zhensheng knew that when a divorced woman returned to her parents' home, her family would gossip about her. However, compared to being criticized by the villagers, her grandparents would definitely care more about whether their daughter was living a good life.
It was almost time for lunch, and Shen's mother wanted to keep the five of them for dinner. Shen Zhensheng was afraid that his wife would not be accustomed to the food in the old house, and the three children wanted to eat fried chicken legs, but the family had already marinated the chicken legs and wings, so he refused and helped his wife go home.
Shen's mother and Shen's sister-in-law were now standing at the gate, staring at the backs of Shen Zhensheng's family. Shen's sister-in-law smiled and said to Shen's mother, "Third sister-in-law, you are so lucky. Not only do you have a good son, but you also have a daughter-in-law who is unmatched in this village."
Shen's mother looked proud, "Of course not. Ever since my third son's wife came to her senses, she has become a rare wife. She has been so good to me and your third brother.
We old couple feel indebted to the third brother's family. The fifth brother said that he doesn't want our money for his wedding, he will earn it himself. I will save all the money your third brother and I earn for the baby in the third brother's wife's belly. When the time comes, we will hold a hundred-day banquet for the baby, and give the baby the first big red envelope from grandparents. I have to pay enough attention to the child."
Aunt Shen took Mother Shen's hand and walked into the house, smiling and saying, "You are right. We can't let filial children suffer. If the third son's wife and the third son don't want our money, we can spend it on the children."
The people from the second house returned to the room with the things, and the children were very happy. Liu Ying and Shen Laoer were still discussing what to buy for the third house.
"I think my third brother and his family don't need anything, so let's save the money. My third brother's wife is pregnant with two babies, so I'll make them a few more small clothes and seal the big red envelopes for the hundred-day banquet."
Shen Lao Er listened to Liu Ying's words and nodded, "Well, the third brother and his friends help us everywhere, but they don't want anything we give them. The three brothers of Dabao don't lack anything, so we spend all our money on the two younger ones, and we prepare for them in advance."
The couple thought this was the most suitable thing to do. Liu Ying planned to wait until the snow stopped and then ask her mother-in-law to go to the town together to buy good cloth to make clothes for the child first.
Last time, the two of them planned to go to town, but before they even got there, it started snowing, and it looked like it would snow for another day or two.
All thanks to my third brother's wife. I was thinking about where to buy cotton to make cotton-padded clothes. I had wanted to buy some cotton for a long time, but it was difficult to buy cotton even if I had money without cotton coupons. Now my third brother's wife was a great help.
