land!”"Today, you're even going to send us to the flower building! Let me be a flower girl and my brother a turtle master! We'll sell ourselves and pay off your debts! You're worse than a pig or a do...It turned out that Jia Erfuren had brought Baozhu over as a guest.

Baozhu practically ran in from outside the gate, shouting, "Jiao Yin sister, Jiao Yin sister!"

Jia Yin quickly jumped to the ground, just in time to hug Bao Zhu.

Two chubby little girls happily held hands, jumping and shouting, causing everyone to smile.

At this time, Grandma He also led in Mrs. Jia Er.

Jia Er's wife smiled and bowed to Li Laotai, then took Wen's hand and said to Li Laotai, "I am really envious of Jinerou. These days of pregnancy are too lively and enjoyable."

"With such a caring old lady, she feels like she's at home every day. It's so comfortable."

Lao Li was amused and chuckled, saying, “People say that one sheep is driven, and two sheep are also let go, right My daughter Wenjuan is pregnant too. It just so happens that the two of them can keep each other company.”

"Oh dear, so my aunt treated me like a sheep and let me go!" Mrs. Wen acted like a little girl for once, being playful. "I'm heartbroken, you know. I even sewed a jacket for my aunt, intending to keep it for myself."

Old Li was also a funny one, quickly joining in the act. She put on a "terrified" expression and changed her words, "No, no, not shepherding sheep. Our Jinerou is a tiger, a tigress!"

Everyone laughed heartily, the room was filled with merriment.

Jia's second wife didn't act out of place. She washed her hands, took off her shoes and got on the kang, then joined them in making bean buns.

She was a Jiangnan woman, she had never eaten or made this northern tradition food.

But she was dexterous and quickly learned to do it well.

Jia Yin and Bao Zhu chatted for a while, greeted the elders, and then ran to the warm room to eat fruit.

Old Li missed her eldest granddaughter-in-law and asked, "How is Wan'er's mother doing recently It's been over a month now, I wonder how much she has recovered"

"Aunt, speaking of this, I have to thank you on behalf of my brother's family!" Jia Erfu was even more pleased to mention her sister-in-law. She said: "My sister-in-law is doing better every day now, she eats more, and she can go around."

Yesterday she accompanied my brother to admire plum blossoms. My brother was so delighted that he got drunk in the evening and had someone send me a message late at night, asking me to say hello to my aunt.

On the first day of the new year, he was coming to our house to pay New Year's greetings and express his gratitude to my aunt.

Old Mrs. Li quickly waved her hand, "If you want to thank someone, you should thank Dr. Zhang. I haven't done anything. Besides, your sister-in-law and Wan'er also live with Jinrou. Our family hasn't really helped much."

"No, Aunt," Jia Er-fu insisted. "Dr. Zhang and Jin-rou naturally need to express their gratitude, but without you appearing, how could Dr. Zhang possibly find the time in his busy schedule to see my sister-in-law..."

"Grandmother, you are like a reborn Bodhisattva! My mother passed away early, and from then on I have treated you as my own mother, showing you filial piety!"

"Don't mind my bluntness, for always bothering you!"

Before Old Madam Li could speak, Mrs. Wen had already taken over the conversation.

"Oh my, I said to myself why you're here today, so it's to fight me for your mother! I've treated my stepmother like my own mother, even if you had the heart, you'd have to line up behind me!"

"Nonsense! When we were studying, you always competed with me for everything, and now I won't let you have it!"

Mrs. Jia Er made a fierce expression and argued with Mrs. Tong Wen, causing everyone to laugh even more uncontrollably.

Li Laotai quickly pulled the two "big kids" apart and said with a smile, "Living together is all about having fun. The fact that you guys are willing to consider this place your home, coming over often is a good thing, no need to fight over it."

"Our house has everything else but a lack of delicious food. As long as you come, we'll make sure you eat your fill!"

“Haha, Madam Jia, I’ve been waiting for you to say that!” Jia Erfu said with a triumphant smile. “Those oranges you gave me last time were absolutely delicious! This time, Madam Jia, please give me another basket.”

"I didn't take any advantage, I brought two deer legs and a basket of fresh lotus root, and a tub of live fish this time, to add two good dishes to the family table."

Li Laotai wasn't being polite either, saying: "Alright, you didn't say anything, I still would have come to your place for fruit."

"Bǎozhu and Fúniúr have already gone to the warm room. Your daughter is definitely a robber, she'll never let you down!"

Jia Erfu laughed loudly and clapped her hands in response, "You're still the best, Grandmother! You guessed right away why I brought Zhuzhu here!"

Her teasing made everyone laugh nonstop, and they liked her cheerful personality even more.

After some idle chatter, Jia Er Fuzi said, “Elder Madam, in fact, there’s one more thing I came here for today.”

"The father of Mrs. Chen's third wife is Mr. Lin Lao, the father-in-law of Mr. Chen Chuan (Chen Da), and he was acquainted with my late father."

Perhaps Mrs. Chen felt sorry for her husband and their home was in disarray, so she went back to her parents' house to seek help.

The Lin family somehow heard that I was close to your family, so yesterday they sent someone to visit me. They asked me to speak to your family and try to get Chen Chuan released.

Everyone listened with frowns, before anyone could speak, Mrs. Jia Er added a few more words.

"I've come here out of obligation. This is all I can do, and it should be enough to repay the Lin family's kindness."

As for how we want to use Chen Chuan, we can use him however we like. We don't need to consider what I just said; just let it go in one ear and out the other.

Only then did the Li family understand that Mrs. Jia Er had come to put on a show and didn't really intend to force them to release someone.

Mrs. Wen glared at Mrs. Jia Er, and scolded with a smile, "Why can't you speak clearly all at once You made me worry that you had been bought by someone!"

Jia Erfu raised her chin and said, "I'd love to be bought out, but sadly, no one else has oranges as sweet as ours!"

"I said Baozhu was gluttonous like someone, it turns out she's just like you, mother!" Mrs. Wen interjected playfully, and the room became lively again.

Mrs. Jia Er slowly told everyone about the details of the Lin family, also letting the Li family be more cautious...

The Li family listened attentively, nodding their heads.

The Li family had fled their home in the north, with no foundation or connections. Even when they were struggling, they still had the Wen family and the Liu family to rely on for help.

A big family like the Chens would definitely have many more relatives and old acquaintances, with countless branches and connections, involving who knows how many people.

It never hurts to be cautious and informed!

In the greenhouse of Hou's mansion, Baozhu munched on a banana and mumbled to Jiayin, "Jiayin sister, you wouldn't believe it, someone said bad things about you the other day, and I scolded her until she cried!"

"Is that so Who said bad things about me You went out to visit someone again" Jia Yin peeled an orange, occasionally feeding Baozhu a segment without paying much attention.

When Baozhu saw her like this, she became anxious. "Jiao Yin sister, why aren't you angry They insulted you, they are all uneducated and bad girls!"

As she spoke, she unexpectedly hugged Jiayin's neck and burst into tears.

"They're wrong, Jia Yin sister isn't a bad person at all! She's not some evil witch who eats people!"

Jia Yin laughed and cried, quickly patted her on the back and comforted: "You're my friend, you know me well enough."

As for the others, I don't know any of them. I don't care what they say.

"Woooooo," Baozhu cried for a long time, very sad. Finally, she wiped her tears fiercely and said solemnly, "Jiao Yin sister, they say you won't be able to marry in the future!"

"Don't be afraid! When you come of age, I'll have my brother marry you!"

"My brothers are all good, you can choose whichever one you like, just marry him! If they don't agree, I won't care about them anymore!"t home.""Ah, that's right!" Seeing her sons united, Old Lady Li felt a sense of contentment.She patted her youngest son's shoulder and instructed, "Listen to your older brother. Rest well at home. Nex...
