Noticing Xu Mumu’s gaze, Jiang Yuxiu’s face turned slightly red, and she silently turned her face away.
The breakfast Jiang Yuxiu made was quite tasty, and Li Caixia was mostly satisfied too. Her son finally got married, so having a grandchild should not be far off.
After breakfast, there weren’t many things to do at ho, and Jiang Yuxiu took over the chores without Li Caixia needing to say anything. There were indeed quite a few things to do at ho, and the store hadn’t opened for business in several days, with no inco coming in, which made Li Caixia and her husband quite uncomfortable.
So after breakfast, as soon as the housework was sorted, they eagerly headed to the store.
As soon as Li Caixia and her husband left, Jiang Yuxiu obviously let out a sigh of relief. Now at ho were only Xu Mumu and her two younger brothers.
"Sister-in-law, is there anything you’re not used to? Now we’re all family, so feel free to say it if there is." Xu Mumu said, noticing Jiang Yuxiu had relaxed quite a bit.
"There’s nothing I’m not used to; I’ve been here for a few years now and am used to it," Jiang Yuxiu shook her head. However, she had just recently joined this family, and she couldn’t blend in imdiately.
"That’s good to hear. There’s not much to do at ho. Sister-in-law, would you like to go for a stroll?" Xu Mumu smiled at Jiang Yuxiu, worried she wasn’t accustod to the place, and proactively suggested taking her out for a walk.
"Sure, there are still so people I don’t know around here, so I might need your reminders, sister." Jiang Yuxiu nodded, feeling a bit more relieved. Honestly, when she first found out that her husband’s sister lived next door, considering her mother-in-law’s affection for her, she was worried the sister might cause trouble.
Luckily, this sister-in-law was quite sensible, which put her mind at ease.
Even though Xu Minghui had spoken well of his sister, Jiang Yuxiu couldn’t fully believe him. What if she didn’t get along with her sister-in-law? She had seen many cases where sisters-in-law didn’t get along.
There really wasn’t much to clean up at ho, with a sowhat compulsively tidy grandmother around, the house was actually quite clean. Once they finished tidying, Xu Mumu took Jiang Yuxiu and her two younger brothers out.
"Sister, let’s go to the kindergarten to play." Fengfeng grabbed Xu Mumu’s hand, looking at her expectantly, obviously still wanting to play after yesterday’s activities.
"Alright, we’ll take sister-in-law for a walk around first, and then we’ll head over." Xu Mumu nodded with a smile.
"Sister, look, I knew our youngest brother loves kindergarten the most; next sester we should have Mom send him to kindergarten." Xu Minglei said with an expression of certainty.
"Fengfeng is still too young; I’m not sure if the kindergarten accepts students so young." Xu Mumu looked at her brother. Fengfeng wasn’t shy and could play with other kids in the neighborhood, so he should be able to get along with others in kindergarten too. But at just over three years old, he really was quite young.
So kids don’t start kindergarten until they’re five or six, and her little brother was so young. Would he be bullied if he went to kindergarten?
"Is the youngest really going to kindergarten so young?" Jiang Yuxiu was also a bit surprised. She was quite amazed at how large the Old Xu Family was. In her family, she was the only child, and her second uncle only had Jiang Yunhao.
But on the Xu Family’s side, except for the third household, each had three or four kids, and it was the sa with the Li Family, a pile of kids, which really opened her eyes.
About their family situation, she didn’t need Xu Mumu to say much; Xu Minghui had already told Jiang Yuxiu. As for people she knew in the neighborhood, Xu Mumu introduced them to Jiang Yuxiu.
After walking around the neighborhood, Xu Mumu felt a bit tired, and upon arriving at the school, she got the keys from Yin Yang and led them in.
As soon as they entered, Xu Mingfeng was imdiately attracted by the toys. Even though he played alone, he was extrely happy.
Jiang Yuxiu couldn’t help but glance at Xu Mumu a few more tis. Even though Xu Minghui had said his sister and brother-in-law were very capable, especially his brother-in-law, who was particularly talented, she never had a direct understanding. Xu Minghui had told her so things, but he didn’t know it all either.
She had heard of the school’s high admission standards, which most people couldn’t et, yet Xu Mumu could casually pull out the keys here.
"Why is sister-in-law looking at like that?" Xu Mumu asked, looking at Jiang Yuxiu as she opened a small bag and took out cookies to share with them, "These are made by Madam Chun. Try them; they’re quite good."
"Madam Chun’s snacks and dishes are so delicious. I wonder where brother-in-law found her; she’s amazing." Xu Minglei said, eating the snacks and marveling.
"She used to be their family’s cook. Madam Chun’s cooking is indeed excellent, even better than Mrs. Liu’s in the Imperial City." Xu Mumu smiled warmly. Speaking of the Imperial City, she missed Mrs. Liu, Professor Song, and Professor Jian as well as the two dogs. By now, the dogs must have grown strong. With Professor Song and Professor Jian’s affection, the dogs could not have remained skinny.
"Sis, was brother-in-law’s family a large landlord before?" Xu Minglei asked curiously. As he grew older, he learned more things. It was clear his brother-in-law’s family situation was unusual; this wasn’t sothing ordinary families possessed.
"More formidable than a big landlord, probably." Xu Mumu laughed, knowing the Yin Family’s history. Apparently, the Yin ancestors were Imperial rchants. She found the Yin Family’s historical records quite interesting.
"Wow, how powerful do they have to be?" Xu Minglei widened his eyes. Nowadays, people didn’t focus on social class issues, so Xu Minglei dared to ask these questions freely.
"I don’t know," Xu Mumu shook her head. She only had a general idea about the Yin Family’s businesses. She knew there were many, but the main profitable one was jewelry.
Even though moving overseas affected so businesses, she believed, under Yin Yang’s leadership, the industries would rise quickly. Actually, they were already rising now.
Jiang Yuxiu listened in awe; more formidable than a big landlord. To survive peacefully and preserve their businesses through these tis, what kind of person had her sister-in-law married?
"I want to be just as successful." Xu Minglei declared ambitiously.
"Then, you have to work hard." Xu Mumu raised her hand to pat her brother’s head. Xu Minglei really was working hard now. Other than going out with her occasionally, he spent almost all his ti studying.
"Don’t worry, sister. I will definitely beco very successful," Xu Minglei said, puffing out his chest. In class, his grades had always been excellent.
