"what happened to you?"

Su Jiao said looking at Wu Xiaoqin who had been unhappy since she walked in.

"Don't mention it, I will make Li Shoucai mad sooner or later." When Su Jiao asked, Wu Xiaoqin got angry and threw the shoe sole he just picked up back into the basket.

"Your Li Shoucai is well-known in the village for being obedient and henpecked. How can he still make you angry? Eat something to calm down." Su Jiao grabbed a handful of red dates and handed them to Wu Xiaoqin.

"It's not the fault of his two good brothers. He was bullied when he was a child because he couldn't beat him. Now that he has grown so big, seeing his two brothers is still like a mouse meeting a cat. It's scary. Don't dare to move, no matter what people say." Wu Xiaoqin chewed the red dates fiercely as if biting someone.

Su Jiao understood instantly that the two brothers who had designated Li Shoucai were causing trouble again.

Just when Su Jiao was about to open her mouth to comfort her, Su Jiao saw from the corner of her eye that Ye Yao was watching Wu Xiaoqin move to the corner of the kang with a look of horror on her face.

Su Jiao smiled and patted Wu Xiaoqin's leg and said, "Why don't you look in the mirror and see how ferocious your expression is now? It scares my Yaoyao."

Wu Xiaoqin turned around and saw Ye Yao's frightened eyes. Her face immediately relaxed and she smiled sheepishly.

"I'm just too angry. They don't bully people like this. Didn't the team have a meeting in the morning to distribute cotton tickets and cloth tickets? I was making breakfast at home at that time, and our family was responsible for collecting it. When I came back, it was clear that Out of four people’s tickets, he only got back tickets for two people. My parents-in-law’s tickets were taken away by his two brothers.” Wu Xiaoqin said with heavy breaths.

"No way, aren't your parents-in-law following you now? Others will not give it to the leader." Su Jiao was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Li Shoucai's two brothers were so capable and could take away the tickets.

"The captain didn't give it to us, it was the stupid guy from our family who gave it to him. As soon as he received the ticket, his two brothers took away his back foot. He didn't even dare to fart." Wu Xiaoqin became angrier as he talked. The date core in her mouth was almost broken by her bite.

"What did your parents-in-law say?"

Although Su Jiao asked this question, she already had the answer in her heart.

Wu Xiaoqin's parents-in-law were easy to bully and couldn't suppress their two eldest sons, otherwise they wouldn't have been separated from each other and eventually kicked out of the house.

When this happened, Wu Xiaoqin's parents-in-law must have had the same reaction as Li Shoucai.

Sure enough, when Wu Xiaoqin heard Su Jiao asking about her parents-in-law, her chest heaved violently.

"I got even more angry when I talked about my parents-in-law. I went to argue with them. They said that these tickets were given to their grandchildren to make new clothes by my parents-in-law. When I went back, I wanted to take my parents-in-law to ask for them in person, but both my parents-in-law asked for them in person. I muttered for a long time and finally said, forget it, just give it to them if they want it, and you won’t let me ask for it again, don’t you think I’ll be angry?”

Su Jiao felt a little sympathy for Wu Xiaoqin. No matter how powerful she was, the three laggards in the family would always talk nonsense.

She was about to say a few words to comfort Wu Xiaoqin, but Wu Xiaoqin stroked her chest again and said, "Forget it, I won't be angry with them anymore. Being angry is not good for the baby in my belly."

"What? You have one too?" Su Jiao asked, staring at Wu Xiaoqin's belly.

"Well, I just confirmed it this morning. I haven't had my period for more than two months, so I knew it in my mind. I went to them to discuss it in the morning, and I happened to meet Dr. Li who was returning home from a medical visit, so I asked Dr. Li to cut me again. Take the pulse." Wu Xiaoqin said a little shyly.

"Congratulations." Su Jiao thought that when she and Wu Xiaoqin got married, they were in front of each other, and now they were pregnant at about the same time.

"Jiaojiao, you are the first person besides Dr. Li to know that I am pregnant. We are only one month apart, so our children can play together in the future." Wu Xiaoqin's face was filled with joy as she thought about the child in her belly.

"Didn't you tell your family Shoucai and your parents-in-law?" Su Jiao was a little confused.

"I almost lost my temper with them in the morning. How could I be in the mood to tell them? Let's talk about it in the evening." Wu Xiaoqin touched her belly and said with a smile.

At around four o'clock, Ye Mingyuan came back empty-handed with a dejected Li Shoucai.

Wu Xiaoqin, who was having a laugh with Su Jiao on the kang, immediately dropped her face when she saw Li Shoucai, and immediately turned her head away from him.

Li Shoucai heard from Ye Mingyuan that Wu Xiaoqin came to see Su Jiao, so he followed him eagerly.

"Daughter-in-law." Li Shoucai swallowed and looked at the expressionless Wu Xiaoqin on the kang and shouted in a low voice.

Wu Xiaoqin didn't say anything, silently packed up her sewing basket, greeted Su Jiao and walked out without even looking at Li Shoucai.

Li Shoucai was stunned for two seconds, then scratched his head in embarrassment after realizing it, said something to Ye Mingyuan and Su Jiao, and then hurriedly went out to catch up with them.

"What's wrong with them? Did they quarrel? It seemed like he was worried on the mountain, and he refused to tell me what was wrong." Ye Mingyuan looked at Wu Xiaoqin and Li Shoucai's awkward look, and was confused.

Su Jiao thought to herself, it would be weird if he had the nerve to tell you after doing such a shameful thing.

"It's because of his two brothers that Xiaoqin was angry again." Su Jiao also felt a little speechless and didn't want to say more.

Ye Mingyuan understood instantly that Li Shoucai's two brothers had been bullying him, and he did not dare to resist. It was not a secret in the village, so he did not ask any more questions. I took off my hat and got on the kang to warm up.

As soon as Ye Mingyuan sat firmly, Ye Yao trotted two steps, picked up the enamel jar on the kang cabinet and handed it to Ye Mingyuan. The room was very warm, and the water in the cup was still hot.

"Yao Yao is so good." Ye Mingyuan took two sips, put the cup back on the kang cabinet, and touched Ye Yao's head with a smile.

Ye Yao, who received the praise, continued to play with the toys with satisfaction.

"Mingyuan, you go to the city tomorrow to buy some pens and notebooks for Yaoyao. I will teach her to read and write when I have nothing to do at home. And buy some shrimp skin and kelp to make soup." Su Jiao smiled. He watched the brother and sister interact and said.

Now that it is getting colder and colder outside, Ye Yao seldom goes out to play. Most of the time she spends playing with toys at home and reading little books. Su Jiao thought that since she was bored at home, she could teach Ye Yao how to read and write early. It’s also good to lay the foundation.

"Okay." Ye Mingyuan nodded.

Because both he and Su Jiao had studied in high school, Ye Mingyuan was not surprised at all when Su Jiao said that she wanted to teach Ye Yao to read and write.

"Daughter-in-law, what are we going to eat tonight?" Ye Mingyuan got off the kang after getting warm. He first went to add firewood to the stove and fire wall, then returned to the house and asked Su Jiao.

"You go to the vegetable cellar to get some cabbage and clean it up, then go to the east room to grab some dried wild vegetables and soak them. I'll go down and make some cabbage stir-fried with lard, and then make some wild vegetable and egg soup. How many steamed buns are left from the steamed buns from the past two days? It's just right to have some hot food." Su Jiao thought for a moment and listed the dinner menu.

After receiving the instruction, Ye Mingyuan obediently followed it.
