The first watch has arrived.
-----------
Old Lady Ding noticed her granddaughter-in-law chatting warmly with the daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law of the Zhou family and smiled happily: "Our Qi is quite nice, she just has a few friends. Sister-in-law, I’ll let her visit your house often in the future, is that okay?"
In comparison, Old Madam Zhou had a good impression of Wang Qi and nodded in agreent: "Sure, I’m very welcoming, also welco you and Old Man Ding to co over and play often."
"Sister-in-law, I’ll take your words seriously."
"Who would deceive you?" Old Madam Zhou glared at her dissatisfiedly, "When have you ever seen speak insincerely?"
Old Lady Ding laughed: "Sister-in-law, I was just too happy and wanted to confirm again. When I tell Old Man Ding what you said, he’ll be overjoyed."
Old Madam Zhou couldn’t help but tease her: "No wonder he’s like a tiger in front of others, but turns into a cat in front of you. The person who understands him the most and cares the most for him in this world is you; he’s not ungrateful, how could he not get this?"
"Sister-in-law, you’re really flattering . He’s good to , but it’s not because he cherishes , it’s because of my serious illness, so he doesn’t dare to go against ..." Old Lady Ding sighed as she spoke, "If I were gone, who could put up with his bad temper? He’s afraid I’ll leave him first."
"Saying that is unjust to him. When he was young, who did you see him concede to? But as long as you asked him to do sothing, even if he argued with you in front of others, didn’t he still do it your way afterward?"
After pondering for a mont, Old Lady Ding laughed: "Hearing you say that, it really seems to be the case. The thing about him is, he can never talk well about a good thing, and he offends everyone."
"After a long ti, once you understand his personality, you won’t get angry with him anymore..." Old Madam Zhou sighed with a bit of emotion, "Old Zhou’s temperant isn’t any different from his. Otherwise, how could they bicker all their lives? While others know how to avoid argunts, these two always have to determine right from wrong. Even at this age, their temper is still like young people, I wonder when they’ll truly settle down."
Old Lady Ding waved her hand repeatedly: "Sister-in-law, please don’t compare Brother Zhou to him. If he had even half of Brother Zhou’s temper, I’d be content."
"They’re much the sa, haha..." Seeing the Ding family’s daughter-in-law and her own daughter-in-law looking awkward, Old Madam Zhou laughed, "Look, as we expose their shortcomings, they don’t even know what to say."
Old Lady Ding joined in the laughter, indeed, while they talked happily to ease relations, how were the daughters-in-law supposed to join the conversation?
To say their father-in-law has a bad temper? That wouldn’t work.
To say their father-in-law has a good temper? That didn’t work either.
So the two old ladies changed the topic to sothing else. At their age, if they didn’t talk about their husbands, all they could discuss were the younger generations, and now, what concerned them the most was, of course, their great-grandchildren. In this aspect, Old Lady Ding was indeed very envious of Old Madam Zhou, and thus, the two old ladies began another round of mutual praise.
This ti, the daughters-in-law could join the conversation too, except for one person — the Zhou family’s second daughter-in-law, Liang Xiaohong.
The eldest brother’s two daughters-in-law were both pregnant, with one expecting twins. The third brother’s side was also expecting, yet her own son had no news, and neither did her daughter... Thinking like this, Liang Xiaohong’s eyes grew warm, and to hide her feelings, she quickly lowered her head.
Lin Yanqiu, of course, noticed Liang Xiaohong’s discomfort, but for such matters, any comfort would only make the other feel even more embarrassed, so she pretended not to see it. However, she also refrained from speaking much; sotis, silence is the greatest support for the other person.
Liang Xiaohong wasn’t one to get stubbornly stuck in one issue. After a brief mont of awkwardness, she composed herself, knowing that her mother-in-law bore no resentnt toward her situation. If she truly appeared gloomy, it would only be fodder for others’ laughter.
While Old Madam Zhou was conversing with Old Lady Ding, she couldn’t help but notice her daughter-in-law’s reaction, but her two daughters-in-law didn’t let her down, and the smile on her face unconsciously deepened...
Over there, Old Master Zhou and Old Master Ding were reminiscing about the past, with a group of younger people gathered around, and the atmosphere was naturally wonderful...
It seed everyone had forgotten the earlier unpleasantness and also forgot about Ding Junpeng who had gone upstairs to find Li Miao.
