Chapter 164: Chapter 0164 – One Month Later4_1 Chapter 164: Chapter 0164 – One Month Later4_1 The arrival of Sister Qingxue and her sister was warmly welcod by Miao Fengqin, who quickly offered them water and chairs to sit on.
Having experienced her own daughter’s various whimsical, selfish, gluttonous, and lazy behaviors, Miao Fengqin increasingly appreciated her well-behaved, hardworking niece who knew how to repay kindness, and wished she could swap her for her own daughter.
“Aunt, I ca to see my cousin. There’s no need for all this fussing about. You’re being so attentive, I don’t know what to do with my hands and feet!”
Upon hearing Feng Qingxue’s words, Miao Fengqin stopped her bustling and gestured towards the west room.
“Your cousin is asleep in there, she hasn’t gotten up yet! She is so lazy, I don’t know what to say anymore. But anyway, she’s going to be soone else’s wife soday, so I don’t need to worry. Go in and see her, then co out, and we’ll have a warm chat as mother and daughter. We’ll have lunch here. Your elder cousin caught a grass carp in the river yesterday, so we have fish and flatbread for lunch.”
Miao Fengqin has three sons, all married.
The eldest son is Wang Dachun, the second son is Wang Daxia, the youngest son is Wang Daqiu, Wang Jiao was originally nad Wang Dadong, but later changed her na to Wang Jiao.
The nas were chosen by Wang Zhenguo’s deceased father, based on the seasons they were born in. It’s quite a coincidence, as the four siblings were born in the four seasons of spring, sumr, autumn, and winter. Although Wang Zhengguo originally wanted to change ‘Da’ to ‘Zhi’ to make them sound more refined, his father strongly disagreed, considering it too cumberso.
Miao Fengqin was genuinely good to her daughters-in-law. When they first entered the family, she discreetly gave each a gold piece, so while there was occasional friction among the daughters-in-law, they held this mother-in-law in high regard and were wholeheartedly thankful. Hence, when Wang Dachun brought ho a few fish for his wife to nourish her body, his wife imdiately had him send one to her in-laws.
“Aunt, a simple al will do, save the fish to nourish you and uncle.”
“We’ll all have it for lunch, everyone can benefit.”
Feng Qingxue thanked her aunt, handed over the things she brought, and went into the west room. However, she found Wang Jiao wasn’t sleeping, but rather sitting on the bed in a disheveled state, cracking lon seeds with seed shells littering the floor.
“I heard from uncle over a month ago that you were injured, cousin. Are you better now?” Feng Qingxue asked.
When Wang Jiao lifted her head and saw her, a look of surprise flashed across her face. As she continued eating her lon seeds, she mumbled unclearly, “You’re calling cousin? Who are you? I don’t think I’ve ever seen you before.”
Could it be that she’s really lost her mory?
Feng Qingxue said with a smile, “It’s , Feng Qingxue, cousin. My family lives in Caohu Brigade, my mum is your second aunt.”
“I rember now, you’re from Second Aunt’s family. It’s been years since I last saw you, what brings you here?”
Feng Qingxue sat in a chair in the room, quite a distance from the bed, fearing that the splatter from Wang Jiao spitting out lon seed shells would reach her face. She laughed and said, “Cousin, your mory isn’t too good. We saw each other just before the New Year, not years ago.”
“We saw each other before the New Year?” Wang Jiao rubbed her head, “Wasn’t I at my grandma’s place all that while? When and where did I see you? It’s very strange, I clearly rember that I didn’t want to marry Lu Jiang, so I went to my grandma’s place. And then, after waking up from a knock on my head, everyone said that half a year had passed, and I had already returned ho. I took a look around and noticed that it had turned from winter to spring. And then there’s my mom, constantly pestering about what I did with the money and stuff I took from ho. How would I know? They only ever accuse and never treat kindly.”
