Chapter 216: Making Clothes
Shen Yiyue came back mainly to deliver a message to Yang PeiMin and to bring her niece back, but her gossip-loving heart had not calmed down at all. No sooner had she finished talking than she quickly grabbed a ladder, climbed over the wall, and peered at the bustling scene at the neighboring Li Family’s house.
Yang PeiMin, watching her do this, felt a tickle of curiosity too, but with little Xiao Fen still there, looking up at her with eyes full of hope for praise and reward, she managed to quell her restless heart. She took out the rewards she had promised Xiao Fen, a few pieces of fruit-flavored candy and some hawthorn candies, and handed them to her, "Share with your sister and don’t eat them all at once, okay? Remember to brush your teeth tonight."
Xiao Fen took the treats, loudly agreed, and ran off.
Yang PeiMin then walked over to Shen Yiyue’s side, leaned in to listen for a moment, and faintly heard Huang Tao arguing. Reassured, she turned around, went back to the kitchen, reheated two pork knuckles, sliced them up, and prepared for dinner.
That evening, Shen Yiyue and Yang PeiMin had a great appetite and even added an extra bowl of rice each.
Chen Guizhi thought they were eating more because the pork knuckles were delicious and couldn’t help but laugh, "Once you guys pass your exams, we’ll buy a few more to celebrate."
Everyone nodded happily.
However, Shen Yixiang asked, "Do you know what they’re arguing about next door? Did you guys hear anything?"
Shen Yiyue and Yang PeiMin exchanged looks and seeing their sister-in-law looked expectant, Shen Yiyue smiled and said, "I just eavesdropped a bit, Huang Tao and Li Family’s eldest daughter-in-law were having a huge fight. It seemed like Huang Tao did something wrong and got caught and scolded by the eldest daughter-in-law. Aunt Li was also very angry and helped scold Huang Tao until she cried. It was quite a scene, Huang Tao just kept crying, but it was no use, the whole Li Family ignored her, even Li Xiaoer angrily turned around, went inside the house, and wouldn’t look at her. Huang Tao is really in trouble now..."
