Chapter 381: The Sisters-in-law Fight (5)_1
"Let her come up, and you too, big sister," Lin Yuan lifted the carriage curtain, calling out to Lin Wei. Turning her head, she saw several other children looking at her with eager eyes. Lin Yuan’s heart softened, and she also waved them over.
The children had never ridden in a carriage before, and seeing Lin Yuan’s approval, they all jumped aboard in a flurry. The girls entered the carriage, while the boys, who loved a bit of adventure, sat beside Xia Zheng on the shafts.
Surrounded by a bunch of little boys, Xia Zheng let out an exasperated smile and slowly started walking the horses forward, while cracking the whip leisurely.
Lin Yi leaned against the corner with his arms folded, a rare schadenfreude expression crossing his face.
The carriage’s four bells jingled, combining with the children’s joyous laughter; the sound reached the ears of some, bringing about a series of silent curses.
Inside the old house, Lady Yang was stooped over cooking in the kitchen, aware of today’s warm pot event at her second son’s house. But it wasn’t her second son who had informed her; she had learned about it while fetching firewood, from the mouths of others.
As Lady Yang threw another piece of wood into the stove, she wiped away a tear that had appeared at the corner of her eye without her realizing it and sighed with regret.
In the side room, Lady Ma had just changed Lin Yongle into a clean set of clothes, picking up the urine-soaked pants and tossing them into the basin in the courtyard, already accumulating three or four pairs. Since they hadn’t been washed yet, only soaked, they gave off a faint and nauseating stench.
Li Feng’e sat in the courtyard holding her twin sons, the stench giving her a headache. She shot Lady Ma a disdainful look and hummed sarcastically, "Look at this, sister-in-law, it’s not even noon, and Yong Le has already changed pants four times. He’s even more prolific than my Yong Xi and Yong He! Just look at my Yong Xi and Yong He, only two years old and they already know to squat when they need to go."
