Chapter 1379 - 202, coquettish cheap goods
The villagers heard that Lin Jiaxin had returned from the Capital city alone, and they all came to his house to see him.
The first to arrive was, of course, Aunt Wang, but accompanying her was not Lan Hua, instead it was her daughter-in-law, Sister-in-law Changqing. It turns out Sister-in-law Changqing was from the same hometown as Lady Liu, and furthermore, she was the niece of Lady Liu’s good friend!
As soon as she saw Sister-in-law Changqing, Lady Liu’s eyes lit up, excitedly and enviously holding Aunt Wang’s hand, "Sister, you’re going to be a grandmother!"
Aunt Wang’s eyes crinkled into a smile, happily nodding her head, "Yes, and I have to thank you for it. If you hadn’t played matchmaker, I wouldn’t have found such a wonderful daughter-in-law!"
Sister-in-law Changqing offered a shy smile, gently stroking her bulging belly, and said to Lady Liu, "Aunt, did you have a good time in the Capital city? Changqing had heard early on that you were coming back. Look, he went to the market this morning to buy vegetables and meat. Don’t bother cooking today; come eat at our house!"
Reminded by her daughter-in-law, Aunt Wang also slapped her hands and laughed, "Look at me, really getting on in years and no longer sharp. I was just reminiscing about eating meat and vegetables on the way over, and then I completely forgot as soon as I walked in the door. Let’s go, we came exactly to invite you all for dinner. Lan Hua has already made the dough, and she was insisting on coming to see Yuanyuan, so I had to scold her!"
Lin Yuan laughed with a snort, thinking that was just like what she expected. Why had Aunt Wang and Sister-in-law Changqing come today but Lan Hua was nowhere to be seen? This didn’t match her style at all; it turned out that Aunt Wang had kept her at home to knead the dough!
Xiao Linshuang also leaned in, giggling, "Aunt and Sister-in-law, and even the little baby, are here, but they didn’t let Sister Lanhua come. She must be so upset!"
Sister-in-law Changqing covered her mouth with a laugh, "Actually, Lan Hua stayed back for my sake. She didn’t want me to get too tired, so she volunteered to make the dough."
Aunt Wang patted her daughter-in-law’s hand and shook her head, "Let her do some more chores at home. In a few months when she gets married, we won’t get to see her do any work!"
