"You old thing, you only know how to tease me in front of me. Why don't you go and see if dinner is ready?" Grandma laughed and scolded Mother Du.

"Aren't you always talking about the past!" Mother Du smiled as she helped her grandmother up. "The meal has already been prepared, and you're blaming me!"

"Ha!" You're blaming me! " Grandma pointed at Mother Du and jokingly scolded her. Mother Du pretended to slap her own face and said, "It's all your servant's fault! If you delay our old lady's meal! "

"I don't mind if I'm hungry. Hungry is a big deal for my grandson!" In the blink of an eye, Grandmother saw Aunt Chen standing behind her. She smiled and waved at her, gesturing for her to come forward.

Under her mother's resentful gaze and her father's gratified smile, Aunt Chen gracefully walked to his grandmother's side, extending a pair of tender and soft white hands to take hold of his grandmother's hand. She wore a bashful smile on her face, and her eyes were bright and spirited.

Grandma patted Aunt Chen's hand in gratification and walked out of the room with Aunt Chen by her side. Her mother was staring closely at Aunt Chen's figure, her eyes so fierce that it seemed as if she wanted to make a hole in her figure. His father noticed the abnormal look in his mother's eyes. He frowned and looked at his mother, but his mother was confused. His mother stepped forward and gently pulled his mother's sleeve. His mother immediately regained her composure and lowered her head to tidy up her clothes.

A heavy hammer still needed to be struck to ring the drum!

I followed my parents to the usual dinner-time. Grandmother was already sitting in the main seat, smiling at Aunt Chen for letting her sit down. Mother didn't dare to sit down in front of her, so she just stood to the side, shaking her head.

"Since the old lady has said so, you can sit down." Aunt Chen refused to sit under her grandmother. She only chose the last seat and half sat on the chair.

It just so happened that there was a bowl of chicken soup in front of her. The fragrance was accompanied by the billowing heat as it assaulted her face. Although it was uncomfortable, she did not dare make a sound and could only endure it.

As we were eating in silence, Aunt Chen made a "wow" sound. She suddenly bent over to the side and vomited a few times before recovering.

Mother Du quickly went to check on her, smiling as she patted her back and said, "It's fine! It's nothing! That's how it was in the first few months. " Grandmother smiled and said, "Look at me, I forgot she couldn't smell that." Mama Du poured tea for Aunt Chen, who drank it all in one go before she felt better.

"Aunt likes to eat sour stuff," I laughed as I looked at Grandmother. "People say it's sour and spicy women, but is that true?"

"Yes, there is." Grandmother smiled and nodded.

"Then aunty likes to eat sour food so much, looks like I'm going to have to add a younger brother?" I looked over at Auntie Chen, who was eating sour plums, and saw that Mrs. Du was holding a large box of candied fruit in her hand for her to choose from.

Grandmother smiled and said, "When I was pregnant with your father, I liked to eat spicy food. I thought that the one who was bad was a daughter, but who would have thought that it would actually be a little boy." The grandmother said this because she was afraid that the mother would be too upset. If she wanted to eat spicy food, the child would be her son. In other words, if she didn't want to eat spicy food, the child would also be her daughter.

Her mother didn't feel at ease because of her grandmother's comforting words. She looked at Aunt Chen, who was about to become a mother, with a deep and serene gaze.

On the surface, they seemed to be laughing happily, but in reality, each of them was deep in their own thoughts. It took them two hours to finish a bizarre meal. As the owner of the house, his grandma was probably tired of seeing these kinds of things. She waved her hand and said that she was tired, so her father brought his wife and concubine back to rest.

"Mother, father, take care." I walked my parents to the door and helped Aunt Chen up. "The road is slippery outside. Be careful, Aunt." Aunt Chen stared at me with a complicated expression. The few times I was pushed up to the top of the cliff tonight was related to me. This smart girl should have already seen through my intentions.

Her father looked back at her and extended a hand to support her. Aunt Chen lowered her head and took a step back, hiding in the group of servants by her mother's side. Her father was surprised for a moment, but then realized he had gone too far and awkwardly withdrew his hand.

I changed my clothes and let my hair down. I put on my jacket and sat on the brick bed, sewing. It was unknown how long this handkerchief had been embroidered for, but only a single leaf had been embroidered. I couldn't help but sigh; if this goes on, even I and my age wouldn't be able to match up to the craftsmanship of the ladies.

Looking at the green duckweed at the side, nimbly holding onto the soles of my shoes, I thought to myself that if worst comes to worst, I might as well find a few girls who know how to sew and bring them with me.

"Go to sleep!" I threw the handkerchief in the basket beside me and lay down on the kang. Seeing that I was tired, Lu Ping put down her work and sent me to sleep.

Just as I got into bed, I heard the bustling sounds of people coming from my grandmother's side. I couldn't help but be stunned. I had thought that my mother wouldn't make a move so soon, but why was she so impatient with my mother by her side?

"Quick, quickly get me dressed!" I lifted the quilt and got up.

Lu Ping hurriedly put on my clothes and pulled me to sit in front of the makeup table to comb my hair and put on my jewelry. I hurriedly said, "I don't care about these things anymore. Just give me a hand." After hearing this, Lu Ping gave me a hug and followed me to the main courtyard with a lamp in her hand.

When I reached the corridor outside the house, I saw a group of people coming out with bright lights from afar. Then I saw Mother Du supporting my grandmother down the stairs. I hastily said to Lu Ping, "Let's take a few steps quickly."

When I arrived in front of Grandmother, she looked at me and said in a cold voice, "You're a little girl, it's not convenient to go. Go back and rest." "I looked at Grandmother's clothes. Grandmother usually wore an emerald necklace, but today she was only wearing her clothes, and there was only a piece of cloth on her head. She must have heard the news and got up in a hurry. After putting on her clothes, she was about to go to her father's yard to have a look.

I lowered my eyes. Grandmother wasn't the kind of person who would throw a tantrum. Grandmother must have seen through my intentions, otherwise she wouldn't have treated me like this. I didn't want to do it either, but I was also forced to do it, and at that moment, I suddenly regretted not keeping my grandmother's trust in me.

"I …" "Wrong." Grandmother looked at me and said nothing more. She took my mother's hand and led the servants in the yard away.
