Chapter 052

Serving Huaixia looked at Zhen Zhen froze for a while, then suppressed the shocked gas in her heart and said, “I …… let me help you see if this pig’s trotters have been stewed ……”

After saying that she immediately bent down and picked up the rice spoon and pig’s feet that fell on the ground.

Zhong Minfen heard the commotion and came over, and just happened to see Serving Huaixia picking up the rice spoon and pig’s feet from the ground.

Not knowing what happened, she asked in a puzzled voice, “What happened?” How did the rice spoon and pig’s trotters roll on the floor?

Zhen Zhen looked at Serving Huaixia and said, “Didn’t you say there was a cat in the courtyard? This is that cat.”

Zhong Minfen looked at the pig’s hoof in Shi Huaixia’s hand and immediately understood what Zhen Zhen meant.

When she didn’t get it, she was a little bit angry again and looked at Zhen Zhen with a slightly louder voice: “Who are you calling a cat?”

Zhen Zhen couldn’t suppress the emotions in her heart, and replied, “I said you are a cat, a cat that steals things!”

Hearing this, Shui Huaixia’s eyes widened violently.

Not caring that Zhen Zhen was in her monthly cycle, she yelled at Zhen Zhen, “Lin Zhen Zhen, who are you calling a cat that steals? Who are you saying is stealing? This is my brother’s house, it’s my brother’s house, my brother buys everything, I can eat whatever I want, do I need to steal?”

Seeing that Shi Huaixia’s voice was getting louder, Zhong Minfen hurriedly spoke up, “What are you arguing about? What are you arguing about?”

Shi Huaixia’s voice was loud and emotional, “Mother, what do you think I’m arguing about? Didn’t you hear what she said? She said I stole something!”

As there was no room for anger during the month, Zhong Minfen did not allow Zhen Zhen to speak again.

When it came to arguing, Jenny was no match for Shui Huaixia.

So she first turned around and pushed Zhen Zhen away, whispering to Zhen Zhen, “Don’t worry about it, I’ll talk to her.”

Zhen Zhen didn’t let Zhong Minfen get in trouble, she listened to her and turned around to go to the restroom.

After going to the bathroom, she didn’t come back to the kitchen, so as not to quarrel with Shui Huaixia again, and directly went back to her room to coax the child.

In the kitchen.

Zhong Minfen asked Shi Huaixia: “Did you secretly eat Zhen Zhen’s monthly meals these days?”

Because the monthly meals are better, and less cooking is done, there is less of it, and it’s not as hard to see.

Serving Huaixia naturally did not admit it, only said: “I really just came to see how the pig’s trotters are stewed, did not eat a bite.”

Zhong Minfen looked at her and said, “It’s not just the pig’s trotters, these days the rice gets smaller by the time it’s time to eat.”

Serving Huaixia’s face was anxious and annoyed, “Mother! Why are you suspecting me?”

Zhong Minfen looked at her and said, “If it wasn’t for the fact that Zhen Zhen bumped into you eating pig’s feet here today, Zhen Zhen and I hadn’t even suspected you before this. How could I have never thought that you would steal Jen Jen’s monthly meal, which is a monthly meal! It wasn’t much to begin with!”

Some faintness flashed across Servant Huaixia’s face.

But she still refused to admit it, and said to Zhong Minfen in a sharp and heavy tone, “Mother! I really didn’t steal food! If you don’t believe me, go ask Mrs. Wu, I’ve been staying at her place, how could I have time to come back and steal food?”

Zhong Minfen did not have the face to make a fuss about this outside and have people come over to see the joke.

She looked at the service Huaixia silent for a moment, reached out and grabbed the spoon in her hand, cleaned and took a pair of chopsticks, to the pot to poke the stewed pig’s feet, pig’s feet stewed soft, gently poke is a hole.

The pig’s feet are considered to be stewed, Zhong Minfen took the bowl, the pig’s feet soup into the bowl.

She didn’t say anything more to Shui Huaixia, and didn’t bother to argue with her, directly carrying the bowl to Zhen Zhen’s room.

Seeing Zhong Minfen like this, Shui Huaixia didn’t say anything more.

When Zhong Minfen carried the bowl out of the kitchen, she turned to the faucet to get water, put the small half of pig’s trotters in her hand in the water to clean it, and picked it up to nibble on it in two bites.

Outside, the sun hung in the western half of the sky.

It was still early, so naturally she didn’t stay at home and went to Wu Dafeng’s house.

Seeing that Shi Huaixia did not look good, Wu Dafeng asked her with concern: “Why are you in a bad mood when you went back?”

Shi Huaixia did not say that she was caught stealing pig’s trotters, and only said in a bad mood, “What’s the use of eating so many good things when you’re treated like an ancestor when you’re giving birth to a girl? Completely wasteful.”

Because of the matter of the four children, now Wu Dafeng heart to Zhen Zhen also have opinions.

She didn’t ask why, and then said, “The girl who was born to others is very expensive.”

The service Huaixia cold snort: “The girl is a girl, and then as a treasure is not worth money.”

***

Zhen Zhen’s room.

Zhong Minfen holding the child in coaxing, Zhen Zhen sat at the writing table to eat.

The pig’s trotters are stewed very softly and melts in the mouth, and the soup is rich and fresh, all of which are good for nourishing people.

Zhong Minfen coaxed the child next to her and said, “I just gave her a good talking to, Zhen Zhen, don’t take it personally, ah.”

Originally Zhen Zhen was completely fine with Serving Huaixia coming over, but now she felt bored from the bottom of her heart.

Of course she didn’t want to make things difficult for Zhong Minfen, so she didn’t say anything either.

After eating the pig’s trotters soup, just as the child fell asleep, Zhen Zhen followed suit and slept for a while.

When she woke up in the evening with her child, it was time for Mr. Huai Ming to come back from class.

When he arrived home, he went into the house to look for Zhen Zhen.

After talking to Zhen Zhen and holding the baby for a while, he went out to eat dinner.

When Shi Huaoming, Shi Huaxia and Zhong Minfen were having dinner outside, Zhen Zhen picked up the baby and breastfed it.

When she was breastfeeding, she unconsciously glanced around the house, and when she swept past the shoe rack in the corner, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. Turning her gaze back to take a closer look, she felt that the shoes on the shoe rack were not the same as the ones she had placed before.

After the baby finished breastfeeding, Zhen Zhen put the baby away on the bed.

She lifted the covers and got out of bed to put on her shoes, walked over to the shoe rack and took a closer look.

Looking at it for a while she thought of something and went back to open her camphor wood box and the closet next to it.

These days she was so busy with the birth of her child and her monthly cycle that she hadn’t paid special attention to any of these things.

The clothes she had been wearing on a daily basis lately were not put together with the clothes she had worn before either, so she hadn’t opened the closet either.

And now when the closet was opened, her brain instantly buzzed.

Those clothes of hers in the closet were in disarray, not at all the way she had folded them neatly before.

One could tell that the person who had moved the closet had refolded it, but it still looked messy compared to the clothes she had folded before.

Jen pushed down the emotions that were churning up inside her and reached out to take the clothes out and look at them.

After looking at two of them she saw a wrinkled dress, she picked it up and flipped through it, only to see that the underarms of the dress were no longer what they were, and when she turned it inside out, she saw that the dress was stretched and sewn up.

Looking at the rows of uneven stitches on the dress, Zhen Zhen only felt the gas and blood rush to her brain.

She closed her eyes and endured for a few moments, but she really couldn’t.

So she took the dress and went out of the room, went to the dining table, and directly threw the dress onto Servant Huaixia.

Servant Huaixia was in the middle of eating, she was startled by her and shouted, “Lin Zhenzhen, what are you doing?!”

Zhong Minfen was also startled by her action and busily voiced out, “Zhen Zhen, what’s wrong?”

Servant Huai Ming directly stood up and went to next to Zhen Zhen, “What’s wrong?”

Zhen Zhen stared at Servant Huaixia.

One here was Servant Huaixia’s own mother, and one was her own brother.

Zhen Zhen knew that it was inappropriate for her to make such a scene right now, but she couldn’t help it and looked at Servant Huaixia, “Before I went to the hospital to give birth, there was no one at home, she went into our room and rummaged through all of my things. I don’t know if she wore other clothes, but this one she wore, and not only did she wear it, she also broke it!”

Hearing this, Zhong Minfen busily put down the chopsticks in her hand and reached out to take the clothes on Servant Huaixia’s body.

She took the dress and rummaged around inside and out, quickly finding the back seam.

Servant Huai Ming naturally saw it as well and furrowed her brows as she looked at Servant Huai Xia.

Looking at the situation in front of her, Servant Huaixia instinctively voiced her defense: “Who are you to say it’s me? What proof do you have that it was me? It’s not likely that you remembered it wrong, you’re the one who wore it out and now you’re blaming it on me!”

Zhen Zhen was so angry that she couldn’t take it anymore and her tone got heavier, “How in the world can there be a person like you ah? When I was in the countryside before, you came into my room to rummage through my suitcase, wore my red scarf, and wanted to take it away! When you came here, you still went into my room to rummage through my things! Every day, you have nothing else to do but to get involved with Wu Da Feng, to talk about right and wrong, to chew on other people’s tongues, to come back home and steal my monthly meal, and to go through my things and steal my clothes. Whether you did these things or not, you know best in your heart, so don’t force me to make it worse!”

After hearing Zhen Zhen’s words, Servant Huai Ming’s brows knit deeper.

Servant Huaixia naturally denied it and stood up with a slap of her chopsticks and said, “What else do you want to say that’s hard to hear? Tell me everything today! Don’t you rely on the fact that you have given birth to a child and are in the middle of the month? What are you so mad about, having a girl?”

Before Zhen Zhen could speak again, Zhong Min Fen suddenly said, “You still have the face to speak!”

Serving Huaixia was really speechless, this again turned her head to Zhong Minfen and said loudly, “Mother! Am I your daughter or is Lin Zhen Zhen your daughter?”

Zhen Zhen spoke out again, “Having a daughter like you is really a disgrace to mother!”

Servant Huaixia heard Zhen Zhen say this, directly going crazy, her face instantly grumpy fierce up to look at Zhen Zhen: “Lin Zhen Zhen what did you say? Tell me again!”

Saying just that, Zhen Zhen shouted at her again, “I said that you have disgraced the Old Servant’s family! Shame on third brother! Shame on Mother!”

Servant Huaixia was so angry that her head was smoking, and she was so cranky that she couldn’t stand up, so she went directly in front of Zhen Zhen.

But she didn’t even make it to Zhen Zhen’s face, when Servant Huai Ming reached out with his hand and yanked Zhen Zhen behind himself to block her.

He looked at the furious Servant Huaixia and said, “Second sister, stop it.”

Servant Huaixia was furious and stared at Servant Huai Ming, yelling, “Who actually made a scene? Who was the first one to make a scene? If she treats me like this, she’s not giving you face, and you’re still protecting her, aren’t you?”

Serving Huai Ming looked at her, sank his gaze and face, and asked, “Second sister, I’ll ask you, did you steal Zhen Zhen’s monthly meal, enter our room privately and rummage through our things, and steal Zhen Zhen’s clothes?”

Although they were siblings who grew up together since childhood, the two of them had spent very little time together since they grew up, especially since Servant Huai Ming had spent five years practicing on the battlefield, and had long since been very different from before.

Servant Huaixia met his stern, cold and hard eyes at this moment, and couldn’t help but feel weak in her heart, surprisingly, even her legs went weak.

She held her breath for a moment and said in a false voice, “I …… I didn’t ……”

Serving Huai Ming naturally saw the truth.

He looked at Serving Huaixia and added, “If you want something, if you want to eat something, you tell me directly, I will go and buy it back for you, or you can go buy it yourself. You shouldn’t do such a thing, it’s a question of moral character.”

Servant Huaixia was annoyed by what was said.

She couldn’t stand any longer either and suddenly yelled again, “I said I didn’t!”

After yelling, she didn’t continue to stand, turned around and ran back to her room, entering the room and lying on the bed, she burst into tears.

She bawled and cried while shouting, “I’m the only one here who is an outsider, and all of you don’t want me to have a good life, my life is so bitter ah! My life has been bitter since I was a child, and I didn’t realize that my own brother’s life would be even more bitter after he got ahead!”

Servant Huaixia howled like this, and the children in the room were also frightened by her and cried.

When Zhen Zhen heard the child’s cries, she hurriedly turned around and went into the house, picking the child up and coaxing him.

Servant Huai Ming followed her into the house and reached out to take the child from her arms.

Zhen Zhen held the child and avoided it for a moment, saying, “You go eat first.”

Servant Huai Ming gently inhaled and teased the child, then went out first to continue eating.

Servant Huaixia was still howling in the house, and neither Zhong Minfen nor Servant Huai Ming went to call her out to eat again.

Mother and son sat down to finish the last bit of their meal.

Putting down the chopsticks, Zhong Minfen pondered for a while and said, “I shouldn’t have brought her here.”

I had hoped that she would come and help out a bit, but in the end, not only did she not help out at all, but she also caused all kinds of trouble everywhere. If it wasn’t for her and Servant Huai Ming’s pressure, she wouldn’t know how many fights she had with Zhen Zhen.

Shi Huai Ming didn’t say anything and got up to clean up the dishes, saying, “Mother, you’ve been tired all day, take a rest.”

There’s nothing tiring about doing this, Zhong Minfen also stood up and reached out, “I’ll clean it up, you go and check on Zhen Zhen, she can’t be so angry now in her monthly period, so hurry up and go and coax her.”

Serving Huai Ming packed up the dishes and chopsticks, so he listened to Zhong Min Fen and went back to his room first.

The child had already been coaxed by Zhen Zhen to stop crying, Zhen Zhen put the child on the side and was reading a book.

Servant Huai Ming went to the bedside and sat down, looked at her and asked, “Has the anger subsided a bit?”

Zhen Zhen raised her gaze to look at Shi Huai Ming.

After locking eyes with him for a good few moments, she spoke up and asked him, “Can you let her go back?”

Saying this she dropped her gaze and added in a small voice, “I’ll say even if you’re not happy, I really don’t want to see her anymore, she continues to stay here, I don’t know what else she’s going to do, I just can’t stand it anymore, you also know that she’s always looked at me in a bad light, and she has a lot of opinions about me, it’s unavoidable that I’ll have to fight… …I want to sit in peace for a month ……”

After saying her words, Zhen Zhen raised her gaze again, gently biting her lip as she looked at Servant Huai Ming, waiting for him to answer.

Servant Huai Ming locked eyes with her for a moment and looked at her and said, “Okay, tomorrow I will go to the tailor store and bring back the finished clothes, and then go to the mall to buy some things, and send her back the day after tomorrow.”

Actually, Zhen Zhen was apprehensive in her heart.

She looked at Servant Huai Ming’s eyes and spoke out in an even smaller voice, “Really?”

Servant Huai Ming cupped her hand and nodded at her, “Really.”

Seeing that Servant Huai Ming meant what he said, Zhen Zhen’s heart suddenly bubbled with acid.

Her emotions were also very sensitive during the month, and as she watched Servant Huai Ming sniffle a little, her eyes followed and became wet.

But Servant Huai Ming didn’t let her cry out, and immediately stared at her and said, “Stop! You can’t cry during the month, your eyes will go blind.”

Seeing Shi Huaiming like this, Zhen Zhen didn’t let her tears come out, but laughed out loud.

It’s good that she laughed out, Shi Huai Ming breathed a sigh of relief and said in a soft voice, “Don’t be angry, after the month is over and your body recovers well, I’ll take you to buy cloth and make you a new dress.”

Zhen Zhen looked at him and deliberately said, “Then I want to make a cheongsam.”

Serving Huai Ming spoke trailing off, “OK …… but you can only wear it at home for me to see alone.”

Zhen Zhen: “Don’t, you don’t like it, I want to wear it out to the people I like.”

Serving Huai Ming: “Who says I don’t like it? If you dare to wear it out, I’ll dare to carry you back ……”

***

Zhong Minfen returned to the room after cleaning up the dishes, and Servant Huaixia’s howling had already gotten smaller.

She lay down on the bed and turned into a mute sobbing cry, as if she couldn’t finish crying with a belly full of grievances.

Zhong Minfen sat down on her own bed, looked at her and said, “What do you want me to say about you?”

Serving Huaixia lie down and sniffle a little, out of the voice: “Then you do not say it, or else I do not have your daughter-in-law pro.”

Zhong Minfen was patient, “Do you really think you’re not at fault at all?”

Serving Huaixia said, “My fault is that I shouldn’t have come here with you, and I shouldn’t have come here to suffer all these grievances and shame!”

Zhong Minfen lost her patience and spoke in a heavier tone, “You don’t say it as if you’ve suffered a great deal, I’m old but I’m not confused, you’ve been looking for Zhen Zhen’s trouble since the first day you arrived here. You’ve been looking for trouble with Zhen Zhen since the first day you got here. You wish that Huai Ming and I would join you in not treating Zhen Zhen as a human being, so that you can feel good in your heart! Have Huai Ming and Zhen Zhen treated you well since you got here? The food is all good, and you’ve been chewing on Wu all day long!”

Servant Huai Ming raised his head, his eyes red, “Who am I chewing on? I’ve suffered so much here and been so angry, if I don’t talk to Mrs. Wu, I’ll die of suffocation!”

Zhong Minfen looked at her, “If you can’t see that Zhen Zhen is good, if you see that Huai Ming and I are good to Zhen Zhen, you feel bad in your heart, and you have endless anger in your heart, it’s only right that you suffocate to death!”

Servant Huaixia was so angry that she stomped her legs, “Mother!”

Zhong Minfen got up and went to wash, “I’m not your mother!”

***

Zhen Zhen and Shi Huai Ming did not say much about Shi Huai Xia.

After saying that they would let her go back, the two didn’t talk about it anymore.

The two people brought their children together to read books.

Not long after, Li Shuang and He Shuo came over to see the child, and the house was a little lively for a while.

Li Shuang every time he came to see the child love, hugged in his arms and said with a smile: “Little Dan Sui quickly grow up, godmother will make you a lot of beautiful little dresses. We are the fairies coming down to earth, we have to dress up like fairies.”

When Li Shuang and He Shuo finished watching the children and left, Zhen Zhen had another meal.

After eating and washing up, she came back and put Dan Sui to sleep first, and Shi Huai Ming and Zhen Zhen also pulled the light and lay down to sleep.

The next day was Sunday, and Mr. Huai Ming stayed at home with Zhen Zhen for half a day in the morning.

In the afternoon, he rode his bike out to the tailor’s store to pick up the new clothes he made for Zhong Minfen and Shui Huaixia, and then went to the mall to buy a lot of food and clothing, buying two big bags.

Servant Huaixia knew that he went to the tailor store to get the clothes.

When she saw him come back, she was busy going back from Wu Dafeng’s house.

When he arrived home, he put down his bag and gave Zhong Minfen and Shi Huaixia the new clothes he had made.

When she saw the new clothes, she was so happy that she went to her room and looked at them in the mirror for a while.

As she was looking at the new clothes, there was a knock on the door.

Servant Huaixia put the clothes down and said at the door, “Come in.”

Servant Huai Ming entered the room with two large bags of things and directly put the bags on the writing table.

Shi Huaixia was curious and asked him, “What are these?”

Servant Huai Ming said, “Things for you, Second Sister.”

Shi Huaixia opened the bag with curiosity, and saw that it was full of goodies she had seen in the mall, everything she could eat and use.

The smile on her face thickened, she couldn’t help but say, “What are you suddenly buying me so many things for?”

While asking this question on her lips, what she thought in her heart was: she must have come to apologize to her.

However, what Servant Huai Ming said was not to apologize, but rather, “Second sister, you’ve been out of the house for more than ten days, brother-in-law and the children must have missed you, I’m thinking of sending you back tomorrow, so I’ll give you these things to take back with you.”

Hearing this, the smile on Servant Huaixia’s face instantly froze.

She looked at Servant Huai Ming and said after the smile was gone from her face, “Are you driving me away?”

Servant Huai Ming gently held his breath and looked at Servant Huai Xia and said, “Zhen Zhen is in her monthly cycle, Mother and I both have to take care of Zhen Zhen and the child, and with our hands full, we really didn’t entertain you well, so ……”

Serving Huaixia didn’t listen to this bullshit, directly exploded and asked: “Is Lin Zhen Zhen want to drive me away is not it? Isn’t it?”

Serving Huai Ming see her blow up and subconsciously feel a headache, he patiently said: “Second sister, it’s my intention, I am also for your consideration, you stay on, brother-in-law alone at home busy, should have an opinion.”

Serving Huaixia got cranky: “Serving Xiaosan you fart! It’s Lin Zhenzhen! It’s Lin Zhenzhen who wants to drive me away, isn’t it? Servant Xiaosan, I’m your second sister, and now because of that woman you’re trying to drive me away!”

Servant Huai Ming lowered his eyebrows and inhaled lightly, enduring for a moment.

A moment later he raised his head to look at Servant Huaixia, sinking his gaze and furrowing his brows.

Servant Huaixia looked at him with such a face and couldn’t help but feel weak again.

Servant Huai Ming looked at her and asked: ”Second sister, do you intend to completely fall out with my own brother? Or do you intend to cause me to be at odds with my husband and wife, have no peace in the house, and fight every day for you to see?”

The look on Servant Huaixia’s face showed more and more emptiness, so empty that she couldn’t speak.

After a long time, she only squeezed out a sentence, “I have never planned …… so.”

Seeing Shi Huaixia like this, Shi Huai Ming didn’t say anything more to her.

He spoke out and simply left a sentence, “Pack up, I’ll send you to the train station at noon tomorrow.”

After saying this, he turned around and went out, not giving Shi Huaixia the chance to speak again.

Servant Huaixia watched Servant Huai Ming go out, and was no longer in the mood to try on new clothes at all.

She sat down on the edge of the bed, skimming her face, her face was gritting her teeth with a somewhat aggrieved and vicious expression.

Zhong Minfen pushed the door in and asked her in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”

Servant Huaixia still had her neck and face stretched out, gritting her teeth and saying, “Xiao San Zi, he kicked me out.”

Hearing this, Zhong Minfen looked at the two large bags on the writing table.

She gently inhaled and said, “Then you should go back, it’s been quite a long time since you came out, it’s time for you to go back and see your family. Here you have nothing to do, do not feel idle bone pain? If you stay here any longer, you don’t want to go home?”

Servant Huaixia sniffled violently.

After a good moment, she muttered again, “I know, just I am redundant ……”

Hearing this, Zhong Minfen shook her head and sighed, didn’t say anything more about her, and turned around to go out again.
