The tycoon's wicked wife from the era of literature has been reborn.

At noon, Huang Yanqiu's mother-in-law invited her to stay for lunch and prepared a sumptuous meal.

Zheng Xiaopeng cooked a soybean and pig's trotter soup for Huang Yanqiu separately, and Liu Lanxiang brought it into the room and placed it by Huang Yanqiu's bedside.

"Qiu, eat more and get better so you can give Xue'er a little brother next year. Then the two of you can play together, with the older sister taking care of the younger brother. Wouldn't that be wonderful?" Liu Lanxiang said with a smile.

From the day after the child was born, Liu Lanxiang would repeat these words several times a day.

Fortunately, Zheng Xiaopeng didn't dare to say that along with his mother, otherwise Huang Yanqiu would have immediately kicked him out.

Liu Lanxiang brought up the same old story again, and Huang Yanqiu assumed that she had entertained a god of wealth today and was so happy that she lost her mind.

Huang Yanqiu didn't respond at all. She first nursed her daughter who had woken up, then picked up her rice bowl and ate heartily.

While eating, she played with her daughter who had finished eating, creating a very warm and happy scene between the mother and daughter.

Seeing her like that, Liu Lanxiang felt a little unhappy and said in a low voice:

"I have to go back home after I finish taking care of you during your postpartum period, otherwise your sisters-in-law will make trouble for me."

Huang Yanqiu paused in her eating. Even though she had known it would turn out this way, she would have preferred that her mother-in-law wasn't around to annoy her.

But when her mother-in-law said this at this time, she couldn't help but suspect that there was a threatening meaning behind it.

After quickly reviewing the situation in her mind, Huang Yanqiu suppressed her temper and said:
"You've really had a tough time these past few days. Once I'm out of confinement, Lao Wu and I will take you to buy some clothes for the New Year."

Before Liu Lanxiang could feign refusal, Huang Yanqiu said first, "This is just a small token of our appreciation as son and daughter-in-law, please don't refuse."

As she spoke, she seemed to remember something, put down the bowl, and took out a red paper package from under her pillow.

Liu Lanxiang's eyes lit up, but then she was afraid of overthinking it and dared not have any expectations.

Unexpectedly, Huang Yanqiu directly stuffed the red paper packet into her hand.

"Oh my, what's going on here?" Liu Lanxiang asked in surprise, her hand stroking the red paper packet, just enough to reveal a corner of two hundred yuan. She couldn't help but smile.

Huang Yanqiu gave the money willingly, her tone unusually sincere, and told her mother-in-law to accept it.

Without comparison, there is no harm. Compared to the mother-in-law next door, Liu Lanxiang has done the best a mother-in-law can do.

Since coming to the city, I haven't neglected anything, from grocery shopping and cooking to laundry.

Huang Yanqiu didn't like what she said, and she was a little unhappy that the child was a girl from the moment she was born, but she still happily played with the child and did her best to take care of her.

Looking next door, Mrs. Zhong was being sarcastic and manipulative, trying to sow discord between her son and daughter-in-law, and forcing them to eat food they didn't like.

In addition, she has difficulty walking and only went out to buy groceries for the first two days after she arrived, just to make a show of it.

After that, Ouyang Yan or Zhou Zhenghua would buy the groceries and bring them home for her to cook.

Even so, he still complained that the vegetables his daughter-in-law bought were not good.

Later, she bought vegetables from passersby near her home, but whether it was because the taste was too bad or not to her liking, Ouyang Yan's face didn't gain any weight.

It is said that the mother-in-law came to the city to take care of her pregnant daughter-in-law.

In Huang Yanqiu's opinion, they were simply here to act like an empress dowager and lord it over everyone.

Compared to her neighbor, Huang Yanqiu truly felt quite fortunate.

Of course, if she were Ouyang Yan, she would have already dealt with that feudal old woman Zhong!

Even Liu Lanxiang had moments when she couldn't stand it.

But she was too lazy to meddle in other people's business, and just went home and said a few pitiful words about Ouyang Yan to her family.

Liu Lanxiang received a red envelope, and her face, which had been a little sallow from staying up all night taking care of her child, suddenly brightened up, and she looked much healthier.

Huang Yanqiu thought to herself, Gao Qinghe was right when she said money is a great tonic.

Huang Yanqiu ate in her bedroom, while Gao Qinghe and the others ate in the main room; the atmosphere was just right.

Suddenly, a loud "bang" came from next door.

Liu Lanxiang clicked her tongue, picked up her bowl, stood by the window and looked out, then turned back and shook her head at the others.

"It's Secretary Zhou's wife; they've probably had another fight."

again?
What does "again" mean?

Seeing Jiang Baohai and Gao Qinghe looking over curiously, Liu Lanxiang thought to herself, "Wow, we have an audience now!" She immediately picked up her bowl and sat down again, excitedly telling the two of them about the exciting things that had happened in the neighboring courtyard recently.

Previously, Ouyang Yan suffered from severe morning sickness, vomiting everything she ate, yet Zhong Shi still forced her to eat.

As a result, Ouyang Yan went to hide at school, and it wasn't until Zhou Zhenghua returned from his business trip that he brought her home.

With her son stepping in, Mrs. Zhong became a little more restrained and allowed the couple to buy groceries and cook for themselves.

But seeing that Ouyang Yan kept eating vegetables cooked in sour soup and liked to dip them in chili sauce, I suspected that she was probably pregnant with a girl, and I immediately put my face down.

Of course, she didn't say anything to her face, but somehow she got some secret recipes for Ouyang Yan to eat.

It's said to guarantee a baby boy, and it works every time you eat it.

At first, she secretly put it in Ouyang Yan's food, almost causing Ouyang Yan to be hospitalized.

Zhou Zhenghua, having attended university, gave his mother a severe scolding when he found out.

And so, the Zhong family finally quieted down for a few days.

A few days ago, after the snow melted, they got a talisman from some old Taoist priest and made Ouyang Yan carry it with her, saying it would bless her with good health and the ability to eat.

This time it was just a talisman, and Ouyang Yan didn't want her hard-won relationship with her mother-in-law to deteriorate, so she agreed to take it with her.

As a result, the day before yesterday, she was in a hurry to go to school and forgot to bring it.

Well, that very night, Mrs. Zhong flew into a rage at home, throwing a tantrum and rolling around on the ground, saying that her daughter-in-law was trying to kill her precious grandson.

As soon as Zhou Zhenghua got off work, before he could even have a sip of hot water, he was busy teaching his mother how to appease his wife.

The whole family didn't finish until late at night.

Yesterday, the Ouyang family sent over a large box of frozen shrimp that they had brought from the coast, and Ouyang Yan was finally able to eat some normal food.

But Liu Lanxiang said that Zhong's face was very long, and she felt that her in-laws looked down on their family, which was why they brought such a thing that they couldn't produce, and that they wanted to embarrass her.

They used to be from the same village, but because they weren't in the same brigade, Liu Lanxiang didn't know Zhong very well.

It was only this time that I discovered that Secretary Zhou's mother is psychologically twisted and can't stand seeing others do well!

"Isn't it normal for parents to get this good stuff because they feel sorry for their daughter who can't eat?"

Liu Lanxiang clicked her tongue twice and said, "I think Secretary Zhou is enjoying his meal quite a bit."

Those big, plump shrimp, one bite and your mouth is full of meat, just thinking about it makes her mouth water.

Even the Zhong family looked down on others.

Liu Lanxiang guessed, "It's lunchtime right now, I bet they're making a scene about food again."

As soon as she finished speaking, the door next door was pushed open again, and Zhou Zhenghua went to chase after his wife.

Gao Qinghe was about to pick up her bowl and go to the window to look, just like Liu Lanxiang, when she noticed out of the corner of her eye that the man next to her was staring intently at her.

Just because he had some connection with Zhou Zhenghua in the past, someone held a grudge and was always on guard against him.

Gao Qinghe coughed lightly twice, but did not follow Liu Lanxiang to the window.

However, she didn't need to go; the Zhong family next door called out on their own.

"Why send shrimp when everything else is fine!"

It turned out that while eating, Zhou Zhenghua had pricked his mouth with a shrimp tail while eating shrimp. He only bled a little and recovered quickly.

But Zhong kept complaining that Ouyang Yan insisted on eating the shrimp, and blamed the Ouyang family for sending the shrimp.

Ouyang Yan stormed off in anger, and Zhou Zhenghua, seeing that he couldn't discipline his mother, quickly went out to chase after his wife.

After finishing her revelation, Gao Qinghe once again felt fortunate that she had stayed away from Zhou Zhenghua.

However, Zhou Zhenghua and his wife are really cowards; they can tolerate this.

If it were her, she would have slapped a whole bowl of shrimp shells in that old hag's face, and she wouldn't have had a chance to berate her parents.

You absolutely cannot insult her, and you definitely cannot insult her parents! (End of Chapter)
